STARVING
The Suffering Thousands in the
Cars Domains.
A LETTERFRoM COUNTESS ToIsToI.

She Describes the RavaRes or the
Famine as Unabatcd In Horror,
and Details the Work Bcing Ac-
compIished BY the Aid or sympa-
thizers in Other Lands.
ZURICH, March 15.--The commission
for relief in Russia has received a letter
from Countess Tolstoi in acknowledge
ment OF the last contributions sent from
Zurich. She says her husband has
founded hundred new kitchens, with
the committees aid, and serves in them
two plain, hot meals daily. The peas
ants who 20 70 the kitchens, together
with those fed with bread at home be-
cause they are too weak to go out, the
countess says, number more than 1000
daily. She says private Contributors
should send their money to some relief
committee If they wish to ascertain the
places of the use of their money, as she
and her family are too busy among the
peasants to give even general reports.
The rayages Of the famine through
out Russia she describes as unabated in
horror. Thousands Of peasants in sonth-
eastern Russia are making every effort
to emigrate to the United States, but
many Of them are unable to sell their
belongings for enough to pay their way.
Cannot Flee from Suffering.
The German peasants from the Volga
regions are moving out in great num-
bers. In each village through which
the bands Of colonists pass they are be-
sieged by crowds of men and women
trying to sell their plows, or clothing, so
as to get money enough to enable them
to leave the country. The colonists,
however, have no money for buying.
Most of them have had their property in
cattle, and since the beginning of the
famine they have lost most Of their
herds. In the Volga region S5 per cent.
of the cows and oxen and one-third Of
the horses haye died from lack Of food.
Members OF tho relief committee say
that stories OF maladministration of the
present authorities are reported almost
daily. In Rowno the government has
an annual income Of 100000 roubles at
its disposal, yet it has not done a thing
for the starving poor in and around the
city. There was not q public relief
kitchen in the place until the Red Cross
opened recently with money sent from
/ NuuiCu
Heartless Government Officials.
The peasants in southern Russia, who
are too poor to move, are beseeching the
authorities for seed for the spring plant
| ing. but have obtained no response. The
authorities say that the peasants would
eat the seed as soon as they got it, and
then would want more for the fields.
In Jelatomsk the farm cattle have
died out almost completely, so that little
can BIZ done towards raising crops Re
ports from Omsk, in Asiatic Russia,
says the whole city has been turned into
hospital for the patients, and that per.
sons are dying by the score without
nurses or physicians. In western Rus
STA, near the German and Austrian
frontiers, the misery Of the population
has been aggravated by the troops ad.
yancing toward the border. Aregiment
Of soldiers is often billeted upon vii
lage of but 5000 or 1000 inhabitants for
forty-eight hours.

a Break for Liberty.

NEW CASTLE, Del, March 15.--Four
prisoners who were doing time at the
law made bold and successful dash for
liberty yesterday at the Jail yard. The
men were at work upon the stone pile.
The wardenopened the gates to allow a
cart loaded with stone to enter, AS
soon as the driver entered yard the pris-
oners dashed ont. As one of the men
was fleeing from the yard the warden
hurled piece of rock at him. The mis-
sile caught the prisoner back of the head,
bringing him to fine ground. He was
returned to the Jail. Two Of the men
were subsequently caught in Whining

MIS-. Dnnton Not Poisoned.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Drs. Henry
Palmer and Chlttendon, of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, the physicians who performed the
post norton on the body of Mrs. Eliza
beth Parkes Dunton, arrived in this city
to give their evidence in the Scudder
case. Their evidence is stronger and
altogether different from what had been
anticipated. DIR. Palmer said he had
found thirteen and half inches Of
fracture of the skull, an injury that
would kill an OK. From the position Of
the wounds they could have been in
fiicted in but one way, and that by
blows. No trace of poison was found.

Powderly Getting Disguised.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 15.--It is
reported here upon good authority that
General Master Workman Powderly, of
the Knights Of Labor, contemplates re-
signing his position at an early day. He
is said to be Disguised with the criti-
cisrns that have been heaped upon him
in the last two weeks by labor leaders
who have heretofore been his friends.
These criticisms have their origin in
Powderly's failure to be present at the
hearing in the Reading railroad deal at
Harrisburg lately.

KNOWS A GOOD THING.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Advcr-
tieeS Exclusively in NeWspaperS.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Advcr-
tises Exclusively in Newspapers.
It has required many years of expert
ence to convince advertisers that the
newspaper is the only med um through
which an adequate and certain return
for their money is assured. The acqui-
sition of this knowledge has cost the ad-
vertisers of the country hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars. The lessons of ex-
perience were expensive, but as it was
the only school in which they could be
learned. the cost is not to be deplored.
Shrewd advertisers now realize that
through the newspapers alone can they
reach the people.
There is little doubt that the recent
example Of the Pennsylvania Railway
company in resolving to abandon all
forms Of advertising except through
newspapers of known value will be fol-
lowed by other advertisers. The Penn
sylvania Railway company experimental
for several years to ascertain the best
medium for reaching the public. The
newspaper advertisement was found to
reach more people for a less expenditure
of money than any other medium, and
hence it will hereafter be exclusively
used.
The result of the experiments of this
great railway company are worthy the
attention of all advertisers. The fact
that after full and fair test of posters,
hangers, calendars, cards and sign boards
as advertising mediums the company
discovered that they produced smaller
returns and were more expensive than
newspaper advertising, should be appre-
ciated by the most obtuse user of ''print-
ers' ink" The Pennsylvania knows a
real good hing.-Exchange.

ment of roads that the problem is
difficult one. The most important
matter is to determine how the
necessary money is to be raised. fine
benefits of good roads in any district
are not confined TO its limits, but
extend far beyond. 1t is to the in
terest of the adjacent villages, to the
railways and to the distant city to
have good facilities of communication
with the rural districts, both for
passenger travel and to bring their
produce to market, and to take back
the commodities required. The in
terests are mutual, and each must bear
its proper proportion of the expense
of improvement. This would be as
much matter of simple justice, if the
rural districts were able to bear the
entire expense, as it is now that it is
impossible for them to do SO. To
determine the proper proportions to
be raised by State, county and town
tax, and by assessment upon the ada
cent properties requires the wisest con-
sideration. Not less important is the
perfecting of the plan for carrying on
the work, SO as to secure an adequate
return for the sums expended by an
efficient administration, carefully pro-
tected against political iobbery and
corrupt and professional rings.

Leave One of Your Husbands Cards.
The latest edict in the etiquette Of
card leaving relieves us from the neces-
sity Of distributing shower of paste
boards all along the weary way we tray
erse in calling expedition, that is if we
would follow English customs. a few
years ago it became a fixed rule that :,
woman calling on husband and wife
without her consort should leave two of
his cards and one Of her own with the
servant at the door. But the great call
ing world have gradually decided that
it is intensely stupid to use up twice as
many Of mans cards as of a woman's,
when it is plain that Il call on the wife
is call on the husband.
Consequently, unless you are very
punctilious, it is considered quite suffi-
cient to leave one gentleman card The
lady's card should be left only when the

How iSoSton Girls Ride.

Go out around the reservoir Oh IL sun
shiny morning or 4 gray afternoon and
you will see numbers of girls riding all
with that trim air of good training and
thorough knowledge which is the first
charm of horSewo;nan: without if the
cOsthest saddle and brieSe. the best Eul-
lander habit. are nothing. The first
requisite for riding precedes this first
charm, and that of course is courage
If one has an unconluerabls timidity
where horses are concerned there's little
use trying to learn to ride. particularly
if that one is Il girl. Boys are some
times made courageous when lacking
this qualify by being put on horse
But timidity is likely to get control of Il
girl, and unless she is fearless horse
woman she will never be happy one
The truth is some girls are born to ride
and some are not.
You may see Il representative of the
former class mount. Up goes one hand
to her saddle; firmly the other rests on
the shoulder of him who puts her up:
the sole of her little boot presses steady
palm. "Now!' A spring and she is up
It is not the old fashioned rocking chair
shaped saddle that is we'll girt upon her
horses back. 1t is saddle straight as a
board, where she sits upright in an alb
solutely natural position, with no twist
ing Of body or legs necessary, and with
no effort demanded to keep erect while
riding. No chance to wrench the spine
or get stitches in the side, as with the
old scoopish shaped saddle which went
with the long. floating skirts, the tall,
ugly hats, and the single reins of the
past.
Now the lass who rides has both snaffie
and curb; although she may seldom use
the curb, it is we'll to have it at her COM
mand if her horse is likely to object to
electric cars or sprinkling carts, or othe,
objects Of his mild terror She may ride
with little spur at her teel. too. and it
is very effective way to manage her
horse. Girls don't use riding whips
much, except for looks. Then a crop is
carried, but there's no lash for the good
steed.-BOston Transcript
