RUSSIA's FAMINE.
One OF the Men Who Went With the
Missouri Talks OF His Trip.

NEW YORK, April SO.-Col. c. McReeve,
ono Of the commissioners appointed by the
governor Of Minnesota to distribute the food
stuffs sent by western farmers and millers
on the steamship Missouri for the relief OF
the famine stricken districts of Russia, ar
rived here on the steamer Furst Bismarck,
which got in late Friday. In spanking of
the trip he said the distress in the famine
stricken portions Of Russia is probably
greater than any one here has
conceived. 1t is impossible to reach,
at this season of the year, dis
tricts where the greatest distress prevails.
This is owing to the condition of the roads,
which now, as the snow is beginning 70
melt, is some, hing horrible. Along the
lines of the railways the relief which has
been affoi ded has much amehorated the
condition of the people. Before the snow
began to melt good deal OF food was sent
to the outlying provinces. u found IN nus
sia that the nobility and landed Droprietors
were doing everything they could for the
relief of the starving peasants. Count
Bohrinsky Is feeding on his estate alone
1900 people, Another noble family
is supporting $4,000 people, and 50
on through the list. Among the
tradesmen and well-to-do merchants
of the large cities, however, the greatest
apathy seems to prevail regarding the con-
apt to answer when appealed to for help.
%, those people are always hungry. They
won't work This, to some extent, is true.
DON'T WANT TO WORK.
1.-THE government and railways have Of
xered work to able-bodied men from the
famine districts who will accept, but the
Russian is q great fatalist, and many of
them say 1T is the will of God and sit
down and starve to death. We found the
relief committees IN Russia fully Or
ganized. There is a governing committee
of which the czarowitz IS president, and
committee gotten up by the Anglo Ameri~
can church in st. Petersburg. The govern
ment offered us every possible facility for
distributing the food brought by the Mis-
souri,, placing all the machinery of the
government and the government railways
at our disposal. l was informed that the
food which the Missouri brought to Rus
sia will support $4,000 people until such
time as a new crop can be gathered. With
the exception Of England, the other nations
in the world have done nothing to relieve
the distress in Russia. The action
of the American people, in sending
over food to the Russians has bouno
the two nations more strongly together than
could anything else. They look upon US as
the only nation in the world that is not CON-
tent to sit idly by and see the Russian peo-
pie starve." W. c. Edgar and E. g.
Phelps, the other members of the commit
tee sent to distribute the Missouri's cargo.
are still in Europe. One of them will visit
the interior famine districts when the roads
are passable.

IN MEMORIAM.


KUCK.-Departed this life on the seth OF
April. FREDERIC CORD KUcE, the eldest son Of
H. F. Kuck Of this city, aged years, months
and 10 days
Little Freddie and bis young sister were play
ing together on the front porch Wednesday
morning, his little heart buoyant and happy,
full OF joy and pleasure. He slipped from the
porch and fell, striking his head. which pro-
duced conclusion of the brain, and, after lin
genng few days, he passed over to the other
shore, to meet MIN who has said: Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom OF heaven"
Death is sad to contemplate in any form, but
to have dear one ike this, fathers pride and
a mothers joy, so suddenly removed is doubly
distressing.
But God In his infinite wisdom knows best,
and, though bowed down and stricken with
grief. we humbly submit TO his divine will.
In loving memory of my husband,
MARTIN JAMES GIBBONS.
He died March %. 1892
Home is no home, for my loved husband is not
there;
Angels have taken him out Of my care;
Dark is his room and empty is his chair;
He has gone to home SO peaceful and fair.
Sleep, my dear, thy tolls are DER;
Sweet be thy rest, so oft needed before
I've loved you much. but God loved you more;
He called you away to that bright, happy shore
Where we will meet TO part no more.
HIS WIFE.

Reduced Rates for Furnaoemen.

PTTTsBURa, Pa, May 27.-A conference of furnace men and railroad representa- tives was held here to consider cut in rates from the Connellsville coke regions to the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys, and the Wheeling and Cleveland dis tricts. The furnace men claim that owing to the depressed condition of the market and the competition of Southern iron producers a reduction in rates is necessary. It was decided to reduce the rates to the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys, and the Wheeling district from $1. 35 to SIPS per ton, and to Cleveland from $1.70 to $1 ,65 per ton.

MIG WAS A TERROR.
He Was 8 Crow That Had Been Taught
 to Kill Hawks.

He Was a Crow That Had Been Taught
 to XIII Hawks.
 The best hawk scarer and fighter we ever had on the farm was a tame crow that we called Mig, says a correspondent of the New York Sun. Father had taught the crow to fight with the roosters, and he had sent to the city and got pair of steel gaffs for him. Mig was always on the alert for hawks, and if he saw one lowering over the farm buildings he made for it and knocked it about in the air until it steered for the peak, when Mig would come sailing home with 8 song of tri- umph. After father had got Mig well trained in the use of the steel spurs he left them on the crow in the day time while the chickens and turkeys were small. While the family were at din- ner one day we heard terrific scream ing out in the meadow. We all rushed out, and there was Mig and a mammoth hawk in lively conflict. The crow was jabbing hiS steel spurs into the hawks head like a game cock, and he was making it so hot for the hawk that it didn't rise three feet from the stubble before Mig hit it clip in the head and downed it again Mig killed the hawk in a short time and a few days after ward he drove another one into the top of an apple tree and spurred it to death. At another time Mig tackled a hawk just after it had caught 8 chicken, and he used his spurs so scientifically that the hawk quickly tumbled into a fence corner, where Mig punched its head full of holes and left it to die. One after noon hawk got high up over the barn with a young fowl before Mig caught sight of it. He sailed after it, and the hawk began to scream and made for the peak in beeline. Mig headed it off and | he fought it in midair till the hawk was so badly blinded by the spurs that it | flew against the barn and was killed.

A MORAL TALE.

It Does Not Do to Follow Moral Tales
 Without Consideration.
 A tiger once invited goat to dinner, says the Detroit Tribune. The goat was tickled to death at the notice of the great beast, and wore his spike tailed coat and link sleeve buttons in token of his appreciation.
 ''Can I help you to some of this veni- son stealz?" the tiger asked the goat very cordially.
 The goat could not eat venison steak, but he dissembled cleverly and preserved smiling exterior.
 ''My physician" he protested, ''posi- lively forbids venison steak" There was nothing else on the table, and the poor goat was obliged to sit idly by while the tiger devoured a hearty repast. But the goat was not disposed to deprive himself of the sweets of re- venge. He accordingly pressed the tiger to dine with him the following evening. The invitation was accepted with thanks, and promptly on time the tiger thrust his hind legs under the goats mahogany.
 Gan I help you," sweetly inquired E the host, "to some of this fricasseed to- mato can with brown paper sauce?'
 ''No, thank you," rejoined the tiger ''my doctor forbids."
 ''So sorry," murmured the goat ir secret glee. 'I fear you will have only an unsatisfactory meal" l "Oh, shall do very well," protested the tiger. Whereat he fell upon anC devoured the goat himself.
 ''Alas!'' exclaimed the latter with hi dying breath, "I was too funny"
 This fable teaches that it is perfectly proper to take an insult from some peo pie without resenting it. It is all { matter of judgment.

went home and took counsel of his wife, the result of which was the conclusion that it would consume his entire prop erty to pay his debts. Fortunately Mrs. Gregory had good property which was not in any way encountered. They found a purchaser for everything ex- cept some fifty slaves, which they re- served, and enough live stock to haul them to Texas; surprised the Savannah factor by paying him off in full, settled up everything and found themselves with fifty slaves and twenty-five thou sand dollars in cash ready for a new start in new country, and at the time this story opens had been on the road some six weeks.

fifty slaves of all ages, and following these again a couple of milch cows of extra breed were being prodded along by two black urchins riding Q pair of stout mules.
 On the topof the long hill the caravan had been climbing for the last few minutes stood a widespreading live oak, and as the carriage approached the crest old Tony's bright eyes spied something under the tree that aroused his curiosity and instantly halted the carriage. Col Gregory put his head out and rather impatiently said:
 "What are you stopping for, Tonyf Anything wrong?"
 Dunno, marster; pears like dey is a dead pusson under dat tree"
 The colonel instantly threw open the door, jumped out in the road and ap- preached the form under the tree. As he came near he found it to be boy apparently fourteen or fifteen years ot age, clad in the walnut-colored, woolly homemade jeans of the southern noun taineers, lying asleep with a bundle under his head. There was certainly pretty good pluck in boy who could sleep under such circumstances. The colonel went up to the boy touched him with his foot, and the boy sprang to his feet with such suddennes as to startle his visitor.
 ''Well, what dye want2" came il quick, abrupt speech from the boy. 'FWhat are you doing here2" asked tn | colonel.

A New Absent-n1inded Story.

A clever man, who was extremely for getful as well as absent-minded, left the hotel at Lakewood not long since, arriving at the station with some friends short time before the train was due. By Jovel" he suddenly exclaimed, 'I left my watch in my room. will have just time to run back and get it." he continued, pulling out of his pocket, to the great amusement of his friends, the identical timepiece, gazing at it wildly for second, and then starting at rapid pace for the hotel Not until his friends shouted after him with laughter did he realize that he had timed himself with tho watch itself.
