LONDON, Jan. 12.-The Russian writer, Tolstoi, is the author of an article in the London 'Telegraph," two and a-half columns long dealing with the Russian famine. He discusses the problems of the supply of seed corn and fuel for the suffering peasants.

Not onc-tenth of the work necessary had yet been done, if the peas ants were to be saved, and only arduous effort could now accomplish the task.

BETRAYED AND DESERTED.
An Unfortunate Young Woman Attempts
Suicide.

An Unfortunate Young Woman Attempts
Suicide.
Several evenings ago young woman
who is we'll connected in this county
and who is at present located in noto-
rious- lodging house on First street at
tempted suicide by the morphine route,
but was saved in the nick of time by
the prompt arrival of a physician who
was called in by her alarmed associates.
The young woman in question has rela-
tives residing not many miles from this
city and up to few months ago bore an
excellent reputation, but through the
blandishments of well-known married
man who figures both in this city and
| San Francisco she was led from the path
that all respectable women should fol-
| low. She has barely attained her majority
and is very prepossessing in appearance.
1t is claimed that the man who figures
in the case deserted the poor girl in the
hour OF need. and, If it had not been for
the good heart of the doctor spoken Of,
the unfortunate girl would be in actual
want. 1t seems she did not take long
to see the folly of her misstep, with the
result that she came near being on q
slab in the coroner's Office.
| Her parents, who are living at the
girls former home near this city, are
almost frantic at the course their
daughter has pursued. By those who
claim to know, it is asserted that more
than one prominent individual figures
in the transaction, and that something
of sensational nature may possibly be
brought forth shortly which will no
doubt make it unpleasant for one or two
would.be high.rollers who are ever on
the alert to lead young women astray.
