How Matchmaker Die.

Matchmakers-by which is not meant fortune seeking mothers, whose pursuit is, however, sufficiently hazardous-are engaged in most dangerous occupation. So of course are those who make phos- phorous itself. The fumes of phosphorous have a peculiar tendency. They cause necrosis of the bones of the face, partic- ularly of the lower jaw. When match maker is poisoned by phosphorous he might as well make up his mind to live, if he lives at all, upon liquid food. His lower jawbone loses all vitality, and his teeth decay and fall out. Besides the most profound constitutional symptoms manifest themselves.
 Chronic phosphorous poisoning is sometimes suddenly fatal. Turner and Oliver relate the case of girl fourteen years old who, after working four years in phosphorus factory, was suddenly affected and died comatose.-New York World.

 to drop pseveral nations into them, drought for six consecutive years has devastated, and those districts were previously the most productive of all the empire. It was like what we would have in Amer ica if the hunger fiend somehow got out of hell and aighted in our land and swept his wing over Minnesota and said, "Let nothing grow here," and over Mis- souri and said, ''Let nothing grow here,' and over New York state and said, "Let nothing grow here," and over Ohio and Georgia and Massachusetts and Penn sylvania and Nebraska and Dakota and the Carolinas and said, "Let nothing grow here," and the hunger fiend had swept the same whitening and blasting wing over the best parts of America in the years 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1899, and finally all our families were put on small allowance and we all had risen from the table hungry, and after awhile the children only had quarter enough, and after awhile only one meal a day, and after awhile no good food at all, but a mixture of wheat and chaff and bark of trees, and then three of the children down with hunger typhus, and then all the family unable to walk, and then crawling on hands and knees, and then one dead in each room, and neigh bors, not quite so exhausted, coming in to bury them, and afterward the house becoming the tomb, with none to carry the dead to more appropriate sepulcher whole families plotted out. That was what occurred in Russia in homes more than were ever counted, in homes that were once as comfortable and happy and bountiful as yours or mine, in homes as virtuous as yours or mine, in homes where God is worshiped as much as in yours or mine. It was to do a little some thing toward beating back that arch angel of wretchedness and horror that we went, and we have now to report that, according to the estimate of the Russian famine relief committse, wv S1vtd tho lives e top, ,eQQ Aesp1G

 THE GOSPEL IN GREAT BRITAIN
 But l must also give word of report concerning my other errand-the preach ing of the Gospel in Great Britain last summer. It was 8 tour I had for many years anticipated. With the themes of the Gospel I confronted more people than ever before in the same length of time-multitudes after multitudes, and beyond anything I can describe. The throngs in all the cities were so great that they could be controlled only by platoons of police, so that none should be hurt by the pressure, each service in- doors followed by service for the wait ing throngs outdoors, and both by hand shakings to the last point of physical en- durance. From the day in which I ar rived at noon in Liverpool, and that night addressing two vast blages, until I got through my evangelistic jour- ney it was scene of blessing to my own soul and hope to others. missed but three engagements of all the sum- mer, and those from being too tired to stand up. At all the assemblages large collections were taken, the money being given to local charities, feeble churches, orphan asylums or Young Mems Chris tian associations, my services being en- tirely gratuitous. But what summer! There must have been much praying here and elsewhere for my welfare, or no mortal could have gone through all went through. In every city and town had messages poured into my ears for families in America.
 Oh, sons of Scotchmen, Englishmen, Welshmen and Irishmen, there are hearts on the other side of the sea beating in affection for you and praying for your present and eternal welfare. They want ed me to give you their love, and here it is by the wholesale, for cannot give it by retail. Disappoint not the old folks on the other side the Atlantic. You will probably never see them again in this world. Their hair is whitening and their step is not as firm as when you saw them last So live that you may meet them in heaven. Write home often, and while you know they are praying for you do net forget tc remember h your

 money, all of which is to go for bread to those who lack it. Then there are the Bobrinskies. They are of the nobil- ity-not only the nobility of earth, but the nobility of heaven.
 THE NOBILITY OF KINDNESS.
 You know we have in America cer- tain names which are synonyms for benevolence-George Peabody, James Lenox, William E. Dodge, MT. Slater, and so on. What their names mean in America, Bobrinski means in Russia. The emperor has made larger contribu- tions toward this relief fund than any monarch ever made for any cause since the world stood, and the superb kind ness written all over the faces of em- peror and empress and crown prince is demonstrated in what they have already done and are doing for the sufferers in their own country. When few days ago read in the papers that the em- peror and empress, hearing an explo- sion, stopped the royal rail train to find out what accident had occurred, and the empress knelt down by the side of a wounded laborer and held his head until plklOWS 6uu Ulduh0CS COulu Ut DrOuSQG, and the two wounded men were put upon the royal train to be carried to a place where they could be better cared for, said to my wife, "Just like her." When Tsaw few days ago in the pa- pers that the emperor and empress had walked through the wards of the most virulent cholera, talking with the pa tients, shaking hands with them and cheering them up, it was no surprise to me, for said to myself, "That is just like them." Any one who has ever seen the royal family will believe anything in the way of kindness ascribed to them, and will join me in the execration of thst too prevalent opinion that a tyrant h on the thrsrs of RuAsiA

THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BIZ

THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL
The District appropriation bill now rests
peacefully in the House appropriation commit
tee room, it having reached that haven of rest
yesterday. The appropriation committee has
so many affairs on its hands Just now that the
subcommittee on the District of Columbia will
not be able to tackle the Senate amendments
until early next week.
SENATOR KENNA's OPPOSITION.
When the House resolution forbidding the
District Commissioners to issue permits for
building in alleys reached the Senate today it
was objected to by Senator Kenna, and it has,
therefore, gone to the District committee. To q
STAR reporter Senator Kenna said this at ternoon
that he would oppose both the resolution and
the bill looking to the prohibition of build
ing in alleys less than forty feet in width be-
cause the sought-for legislation amounted
practically to q confscatien of large quantity
interest was personal as well general, he
owning ground which would be affected By .
new law.
THE COURT OF APPEALS BILL

Judiciary, has reported favorably the bill estab-
fishing court Of appeals for the District.

vlding that there shall be one chief justice and
two associate justices, instead of three. The

paid s6. 500 per annum. The clerk of the court
Is to draw salary of $1,000, instead of %. 500,
as In the bill when introduced. The allowance
for clerical assistance has been cut from e. 500
to $1,000. When the bill went to the commit
tee 1t provided that justices Of the Supreme

THE LreHrFoor LETTER.
IL was learned today that the famous Light
foot letter. the letter written by Schneider to
Miss IjGhtfoot, was not secured by
the district attorney until the after
noon It vas offered in evidence. Il was not
until the third day after the government had
begun the examination Of its witnesses that
the district attorney learned Of the existence
OF the letter. 1t then came to his knowledge
.oat Judge wilson was using every eudeavor
70 secure the possession Of q certain letter
written by Schneider to Miss Lightfoot, and
the district attorney concluded that If Judge
wilson was making great efforts TO gain pos
session OF the letter it was . letter which the
government could not we'll afford to lose.

during the noon recess Of the day il Was offered
