pany who is travelling in the famine
districts of Russia, writes from Kazan,
under date April 3 as follows: The
province of Kazan has a population of
100000 OF this total about 300, 900
represent independent population,
leaving 100000 of whom Zemstcv is
feeding An epidemic of ty phoid fever
is raging. Peasants are being brought
it in cart loads. Hospitals are full,
in all directions most horrible sights
meet the eye. Young women brought
into town III state of nudity except
for some scraps Of mating that were
thrown over them in the cart. The des-
titution is something terrible and the
streets are filled with beggars. The
question that is giving most uneasiness
at present is the supply OF horses,
Tartars have eaten theirs aud horses
of other pesantry have mostly been
killed for hides. The government is
going to grant 10000 horses to the
province, but that will do very little
good. The situation in Kazan at pres
ent is beyond description.

ment between a committee of Elks
and the Histrionics, for a perform
ance to be given at Garland opera

will be the first day of the bankers
convention, and the Elks eXpect to fill
the house to OVERLOOKING.
The Elks have, during the past
season, given to their friends In Waco
some of the most elegant and costly
entertainments ever enjoyed here;
they have made their luxurious club

fear but that their friends will be
willing and ready to return these

remarkable in point of elegance and
the greatest success in point of enjoy
ment. 1t will be a society event thai

Mr.. Henry Labouchere, discussing the
recent death of Jay Gould and the barge
fortune he left in London Truth, says
Were | an American | should meet
this tendency by Il progressive death
duty on all requests. What l mean
is that the duty would not progress on
the sum total left by the individual,
but on the sum Inherited by the individ
nal. Suppose that a man left 81 900. 900,
and that my progressive duty doubled
itself On every $500, 900 inherited by any
of his heirs. My plan would work out
in this way: If the duty on the first
$500, 900 were ) per cent, should he
leave one person 81 100000 the sum Of
$75. 900 would have to be paid, Sl15. 900
by any one getting 81, 500, 900, and so on,

amount to one individual would be that

of several miles We're made. Between
Jenkintown and Yardley FIVE successive
miles were run in POS seconds. or at the
rate of lightweight miles per hour. and
near Neshaminy mile was made in
thirty-nine seconds.
The record was broken, however, be
tween Plainfield ard Elizabeth on the
line Of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, where one mile was run in
thirty-seven seconds, and two successive
miles in seventy-fve seconds, or ~ the
rate of ninety-seven miles per hour. The

In jail When Elected to the Legislature.
From the legislature to jail is not an
unheard of thing in the history of state
governments, but in going from Ill tc
the legislature Judge Lane, presiding
Judge of the county court Of Case
county, Mo, will have rather exceeded
the record.
Judge Lane is an official resident OF
one of these Missouri counties sweating
under the burden of IA great railroad
debt. The duty of the judge was to
have levied tax to meet interest on
these bonds, but leaning in his sympa
thies toward the taxpayers he refused.
For this he was sentenced to Jail by
United States judge. While in Jail the
populace, relieved of an impending
financial stress by his action, nominated
him for representative on the Democrat
ic ticket. He accepted, hired type
writer and conducted his campaign by
mail in such manner that he led his
ticket by several hundred votes. His
term as judge expires Jan. l, and he will
step out of Jail directly into the state as
sembly.
In this position he will probably be
expected to retaliate against the rail
road corporation which indirectly caused
his incarceration. Chicago News-Rec-
