4 STARVING PEOPLE
A Clergyman Writes of SceneS
of Distress in Kazan, Russia.
THE PEASANTS BECOME FURIOUS
At the Attempt to Export Rye, and Try to
Prevent it by Force-A Rush to I'M
port Rye Into Germany.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
Moscow, Aug ga clergyman writes
as follows to the Moscow Gazette from one
of the villages in the province of Kazan:
1T is sad TO watch the sight presented by
an ordinary sick person, but it is far more
unbearable to look on at the hungry, panic
stricken, starving people. In my parish
there are individuals who have gone with
out bread for two and three weeks together
and endeavor to nourish themselves upon
grass and the leaves of the trees. When
they get hold of q morsel of black bread,
they do not eat it themselves, but they give
it to the children
In one village this priest says he found
sixteen people in the last stages of ex-
haustion from hunger, and one of the
women succumbed very shortly after. In
the village there were 145 houses, but in
only twenty of them were the peasants
eating the usual sort of food to which they
were accustomed He says there is dis
tress as great in the other villages of the
same district and there is great deal of
excitement among the peasantry at the
prospect which they see before them.
! Trying to Prevent the Export of I'VE.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable. ]
ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.-Further par
ticulars regarding the attempts of peasants
to prevent the export of rye by force show
| that the affair was more serious than was
believed. Reports from Shawl state that
few days ago some poor Jewish work
men observed wagons containing rye
which was being conveyed to the railway
station for export to Liban. They pro-
tested and in few minutes the wagons
were surrounded by an excited crowd and
brought by force to the court yard of the
town hall and unloaded. The crowd then
rushed to the railway station to prevent
| the rye stored there being loaded on the
| trucks. The excited peasants flung them
selves on the rails before the trucks. On
| the following day fresh disorder arose on q
report being spread that large quantity
of rye was expected at the railway station
OF Kruschani. An immense crowd pro-
ceeded thither, and an encounter took place
! between peasants accompanying the grain
wagons and the excited crowd. The ring
leaders were arrested by the police, but SOC
rioters stormed the jail and liberated them.
| The guard was called in but failed to re-
store order, and peace was OBTAINED only
on the arrival of the Hundred and Thir.
teenth regiment.
Similar scenes occurred in Lidda, in
which place the crowd shouted out thai
they would rather 90 as prisoners to Siberia
than die of hunger at home. AT the rail
way station at wilma the same kind of ex.
cesses prevailed, and at Smorgoni the
crowd behaved with like violence, evi
IDENTIFY reckless with hunger.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1891-01-21

A writer in The Nineteenth Century
tells several stories of the fate of pom
pous men who went to Cardinal New
man to talk to him as one great contro.
versialist to another.
One specimen of the class comes with
notes and books and points for dis
cussion on problems of education, but
finds the cardinal so absorbed with
news about the BARLEY crop" in Nor
folk that no other subject seems to in
terest him.
Another presses him for a refutation
of one of Mr.. Gladstone's arguments
against the Vatican DEGREES, but only
succeeds in eliciting the reply that Mr..
Gladstone is an old Oxford acquaint-
ance, and has been very kind to him.
Or if the subject is insisted on the con
versation suddenly passes-his visitor
knows not how-to the oaks of Hawar-
den, and the exercise of cutting down
trees.
A third visitor finds himself engaged
at the outset in a discussion as to the
number of stoppages in the l 80 train
as contrasted with the $40, and has
unexpectedly to employ his converse
tional talent in explaining his cross
country route and the lines by which
he came.
And then there is the Oxford story
of Newman's guest who introduces the
origin of evil at dinner, and at once
produces dissertation-ful of exact
knowledge, and apparently delivered
with earnest interest-as to the different
ways of treating hot house grapes and
the history of the particular grapes on
the table before him.

Proverbial CareIcssness of Foreigners in
the Southern Marshes.
You have perhaps journeyed between
New Orleans and Mobile and remam-
Der the vast expanse of marsh with
waterways cutting through it. In the
midst of this desolation is a clubhouse
and a railway station called English
Lookout. 1t is still good fishing and
shooting ground, but the alligator has
become 50 scarce that the sight of one
is novelty. Ten or twelve years ago
they crawled across the railroad tracks,
and passengers had but to look out of
the window to see them swimming.
One day during my weeks stay at
/ the club several boats were going out,
and one OF them was occupied by a
French army officer, who was also a
guest. He had ON frock coat and
when seated in the stern of the skiff
the tails almost touched the water.
Better take off that coat or pin the
tails up, said one of the punters, as
his attention was directed

his shoulders and led the way down

anybody else. | tangled my line in

above the surface, and next instant
uttering scream which was heard
half mile away, the man was pulled
out of the boat and under water.
We hurried to the spot, but nothing
whatever marked the site of the TRACE
dy. Even his hat had gone. We
rowed up and down and beat the
banks, but it was useless.
Told him so, said the punter as we
gave up the search. Then foreigners
don't seem to know about gators We

what did he do but hang his legs in
the water, and he was pulled off the
boat with me only four feet away. -

if one were to give himself up wholly
to an attempt to understand the the
DRY he might forget to be sick.
The propounder of this theory, NJ.

pacity of the reservoir formed by the
muscular and perilnuscular venous sys-

nicity and voluntary or reflex muscu-
lar contractions in the action of empty
ing it; also the predominance of reflex
muscular actions over voluntary in
keeping ones balance and in most
movements.
In the movements of a vessel the re-
Taxation of muscular tonicity and sup
preston of reflex movements result in
