LoNroN, July 7.-Advices have reached
Cairo that the famine which has for some
time past prevailed in the Soudan, is in
creasing rapidly. Thousands of natives
are without food of any Kind and the re-
ported number of deaths is appalling.
With the reports of this dreadful state of
affairs come horrible stories of cannibal-
ism, which is also said to be on the in
crease 1t was reported not long ago that
the dead were being eaten by the famished
survivors, but the present advices rep
resent matters as still worse.
Deliberate CannibaIism.
1t is now asserted that large numbers of
men, women and children are deliberately
put to death that they may serve as food
for their frenzied companions. Relief has
been extended to these unhappy people as
far as possible, but not sufficient to allay
the terrible suffering in the interior settle
ments, which are beyond reach.

WASHINGTON CITY, July IA telegram
from Cape May Point, n. j., says: Mrs.
Harrison has been interviewed about the
acceptance of cottage here and the crit
icism growing out of the gift. After de-
scrbing the unsuitableness of the White
House for family life in the summer, she
said that there had been suggestions made
to the president from various sources about
purchasing a summer home in the suburbs
OF Washin gton City, which, at the end of
his official term, might be sold at consid
cradle advance. The president objected
TO this on the ground that it would be an
improper speculation. While they were
considering various invitations from
friends who had homes in healthful local
tiles near the capital, Mrs. Harrison was
surprised by the gift of the cottage She
continued:
Its acceptance seemed to me to be the
best which could be done. None of the
gentlemen concerned could have any
object other than the courtesy of
making us comfortable. As far as
their names are known none of
them seek office 1t does not in
volve the president in any money making
for his personal benefit. How others may
be benefited does not concern us. If our
presence at Cape May Point will do
benefit to any person they are welcome to
it. 1t is a beautiful place, retired and
pleasant, and think will be benefit in
health to those who are near and dear to
u.s.
The Baby Mckee Critics.
AS to baby Mckee, Mrs. Harrison said !:
eve have never wished the publicity
given our grandchildren; therefore, if
any one is getting dissatisfied, it should
be remembered that we did not obtrude
them upon the public When it is said
by inconsiderate persons that we force our
privacy upon the public it can be truth
fully said, without desiring to be offensive,
that the public have forced themselves
upon us.
The License of the Price.
at seems to me that American journal
ism takes entirely too wide range of
freedom with the private matters of fami-
lies. 1t is wonder that the proprietors
or editors do not put n check upon this
class of journalism 1t certainly does not
strengthen the influence of the papers in
places where they would otherwise be felt
and respected. lam sorry for persons who
take pleasure in making me unhappy"
Mrs. Harrison is delighted with the cot
tage. She will remain here during the
summer, but the whole family will pass a
short time in the mountains at Cresson in
September

Thieves Aided by Chance Remarks.

a cause Of many of the successful
robberies by sneak thieves, said a vet
eran detective recently, is the habit
not o few New Workers have Of un-
g~uardedly divulging secrets TO chance
acquaintances and TO friends. Would
you be kind enough 10 tell me the
hour, I've left my watch in my other
waistcoat pocket in my ROOM" and
various similar remarks are common,
particularly on street cars, aud sneak
thieves are always on the alert to hear
such disclosures. They even ride on
car 10 overhear them. For instance,
q man might be riding downtown on q
ear, and dive into his pocket for his
fare, when he would suddenly remem
Der that he left his purse Oh the dress
er in his room, and would APOLOGIZE
cally tell his friend 80. There might
be some thief in the car who, overhear-
ing this, would follow him up, learn
his name and address, and then al
would be plain sailing. The thief
would 60 TO the house and tell who
ever came to the door that the man
had sent him for the purse which he
left on the dresser. The wife, finding
the purse in the place described, would
be thrown off her guard and in nine
cases out OF ten would give il 10 him
and pay him besides for taking it.

suspicion with even the shrewdest
