THE EUROPEAN HEGIRA.

1t isestimated than an hundred thou
sand Americans will 60 TO Europe next
year. When it is considered that they
will spend not less than $1,000 each
some idea can be obtained of the enor-
nous drain that this exodus year aft
er year occasions this country. This
sum goes out, too, not for goods, but
is so much of our surplus wasted in
luxury. No other country could stand
it for a year. The compensation
comes, we suppose, in the new ideas
that they pick up and bring back with
them. There is one thing that they
cannot find in any part of Europe,
and that is a remedy for coughs, colds
and all maladies that affect the lungs
that equals Reds German Cough and
Kidney Cure. This great preparation
has no equal in the world for diseases
that affect the respiratory organs. 1t
contains no opiate, thus making it a
family remedy in which every mother
can put the utmost confidence.

Starvation.

Three Million Russians Actually Dying o
| Starvation.
PARIS, Dee. IA diplomatic COM
munication from Russia which | saw
yesterday morning brings terrible
news. Over 5000, 600 human beings
are literally dying of hunger. In some
of the Russian provinces bordering on
the Nolga the people are keeping
themselves alive by eating the bark of
trees. This awful state of things is
aggravated by the laundering methods
of the Russian administration. For in
stance, Il few weeks before the issue of
the ukase absolutely forbidding the ex-
portation of cereals the railway COM
panies were ordered to allow none of
their cars to be used for the transport
of this>grain. The companies improv-
ing OF this order stopped the trans
port of corn. Two million
sacks Of corn were actually rot
ting in the province of Odessa,
while a few miles away men and wO-
men were starving-and all this
through the criminal stupidity of the
officials. The distribution of the So
900. 900 rubles ordered by the emperor
was effected in the same way. In the
province of Jaroslaw money was given
To the peasants for drink. Next morn
ing 10, 900 men and women were found
dead on the highways.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.

\ Frisco Train Held Up Within a Few
Miles of st. Louis-Dynamite Used to
Force the Express Car-The Robbers
Got a Pretty Good Booty.
ST. LOUIs, Dec. Passenger train
No. of the Frisco railroad, scheduled
to leave st. Louis at SD o'clock last
night, was twenty-five minutes late,
and when it did get well under way it
was held up by robbers who secured
from the safe in the express ear be-
tween $1,000 and Sl3, 600. Accord
ing to the police reports three
men boarded the train at Old
Orchard, and when near Glendale, at
$3.50 o'clock. they climbed over the
water tank and the coal in the tender,
and presenting a revolver at the engi-
neer's head, made him come to a stop.
As a further inducement three other
men who were in ambush at that point
opened fire On the train, but. so far as
could he learned, the shots did not take
effect.
Messenger Mulrenen Of the express
company presumably the Adams-was
then ordered to open the door, and
when he refused, dynamite was ex-
ploded and an entrance was effected.
1t is understood that even then the ex-
pressman offered resistance, but he was
~overpowered, and the robbers, after Sc
curing their booty, took to the woods.
The st. Louis police permitted the
report of the robbery to escape them
at IL p. m, but thereafter they were
strangely silent until a short time be-
fore the newspapers vent to press, and
then it leaked out that Immediately on
receipt of the report a special train,
well manned Ivy detectives, had been
dispatched to the scene of the robbery
from the Chouteau avenue yards, in
stead of from the depot-the usual
place of departure.
Five years ago n train vas held up at
about the same point neal Glendale.

MALCOLM Ford. the Athlete. Not Even
Mentioned in His Millionaire Fathers
Will.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The will Of the
late Gordon Lester Ford, of Brooklyn,
filed yesterday, bequeaths an estate
valued at 81, 800. 900 to the widow and
two sons-Worthington Ford and Paul
Forthwith some minor legacies to
more distant relatives. The name of
the ~tcstator's son, Malcolm w. Ford,
the famous all-arOund athlete, is not
mentioned in the will.
Malcolm had incurred his fathers
d~ispleasure by devoting himself to
sports, and was not regarded as n mem
Der of the family. His father refused
for years even to speak to him, but a
reconciliation was effected at the time
of Malcolm's illness, which was
thought likely to prove fatal. 1t seems.
however, that the old gentleman did
not relent su Efficiently to make his ath-
lcte son one of his heirs. 1t is believed
that the d~isinherited son will contest
the will.

When Prince George Of Wales took
command Of the gunboat Thrus he
also took upon himself the usual duty
of conducting the religious service on
the vessel on Sunday mornings. Every
thing went on well, apparently, but at
the end of about four weeks some one
suggested to the prince that he was not
reciting the liturgy according to Gran
mer, although the ships company IA
highly flattered by his rendering. He
had been reciting fervently and hum
bly,: 1--WE have done those things that
we ought to have done and have left
undone those things which we ought
not to have DONE" and the crew had
been accepting his statement of the
case and feeling good.

in a deep canyon in the mountains, and

"Ihere's something behind It,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when You read that the proprietors
of d.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, YOU
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "Therc must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases Weld,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that

simply relieve - it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sur there's risk in it, but
it's so very small hat they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.
