Russia's Hungry People.

Il has been known for months that people
in portions of Russia were suffering for
food, but it is doubtful il it was generally
known until yesterday, when the report of
our minister at St. Petersburg was pub
lished, that millions of them were on the
verge Of starvation. Thousands have al
ready died from hunger and diseases brought
on by the want of sufficient nourishment and
there is no reason to doubt that thousands
more will become victims of the prevailing
famine.
Our minister corrects the widely enter
tanned, but erroneous, impression that the
czar and his government are Indifferent to
the sufferings of the psople in the famine
districts. According to our minister's re-
port the czar has been most generous in
contributing out of his private purse to the
relief fund, aud the government has done
and is doing all in its power to supply the
sufferers with food.
The conditions in the ADMINISTRATION
territory are such as to appeal strongly to
charitable people throughout the civilized
world. In many localities the people are
subsstlng upon dried leave5 and the bark
OF trees mixed with little flour. 1t is
evident they cannot do so very long, and
yet it will be five months before another
harvest.
There is an abundance OF food supplies in
this country. If a charitable movement were
organized in behalf Of the starving Russian
peasants the contributions would be i'm
mense. 1t was stated on the floor of con-
gress some days ago that there was plenty
of food supplies in parts of Russia not
afflicted by the famine. Such can hardly
be the case. If there we're the Russian gov
ernment would have been more prompt in
believing their distress.
Now that 1t is authoritatively know just
what the situation in Russia is it is probable
that Russia will receive substantial assist
ance from all parts Of the civilized world.
To withhold food from those who are starv-
ing when there is such an abundance Of 10
would be unworthy of Christian nations

TennYson's Tribute.

Following is the poem composed by Lord
TeDnyson, poet laureate of Great Britain, on
the occasion of the death of Prince Edward,
Duke Of Clarence and Avondale and heir pre-
sumptive to the throne of England:
TO THE MoURNERs.
The bridal garland falls upon the bier,
The shadow of a crown that o er him hung
Has vaniShd In the shadow cast by Death;
SO princely, tender. truthful. reverent, pure,
Mourn! That world wide empire mourns with
you,
That all the thrones are clouded by your loss,
Were slender solace. Yet be comforted:
For If this earth be ruled by Perfect Love,
Then, after His brief range OF blameless days
The toll OF funeral in an Angel ear
Sounds happier than the merriest marriage bell,
The face OF death is toward the Sun of Life,
His shadow darkens earth; bis truer name
Is "Onward," /" no discordance In the roll
And march Of that Eternal Harmony
Whereto the worlds beat time, tho family
heard
Until the great Hereafter mourn in hope.

Tom Cchiltree's Reputation.


&There is many man who has the reputation
of story-teller who never earned it, remarks
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Just now have in
mind Tom Ochiltree, who was formerly con.
gresham from Texas. He is famous all the
world over as q raconteur, but his fame is but
sllghtiy due to bis own efforts Here is how
Ochiltree gained his fame. A Washington
correspondent of a newspaper made a bet with
another man that he could take any member of
congress and within a year make him known all
over the country. They looked over the House
OF representatives together and inally picked
out new member from Texas, who had red
head. Up to that time he had attracted no
attention in Washington and he was
therefore regarded as fit subject
for the experiment. Then the correspondent
went to work to make his red-headed protese
famous. How well he succeeded is shown by
the fame which Ochiltree now enjoys. The
correspondent went about his task in this way:
He wrote numerous good stories and sent them
to his papers credited to Oohiltree. He told
these stories to other newspaper men who also
used them. The stories were bright and there
fore, were copied all over the county Soon
everybody had heard of Ochiltree's stories, and
it began to be the fashion with Washington
correspondents to credit anonymous stories to
him, Ochiltree read the stories and told them
again, He was naturally a rather clever man
and knew how to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity offered The result was that he is now
one Of the best-known men In the United
States, although be is not as well known now
as he used to be, as not as much is printed
about him.

A WONDERFUL MIRAGE was recently distinc.

A WONDERFUL MIRAGE was recently distinctly
visible near Lewiston, Mont, one Sunday after
hoon 1t has caused considerable alarm, how
ever. because it seems to show that the Indians
have started on the warpath annlsncountered a
party Of hunters. Through the vistas hunters
and red men could be seen repeatedly to
emily well supplied with ammunition and finally
succeeded in capturing party of dozen hunt
ers. Those who Witnessed the wonderful
scenic affect produced by the mirage assert that
they could distinctly see the savages build piles
Of fagots and burned their captives at the stake
Midwinter mirages in the clear, crisp atmos-
phere OF the Rockies are rare So far as can
yet be ascertalne1 the Indians on the reserva-
tions are peaceable. and it Is hard to tell
whether the mirage or the people who witnessed
it did the lying.

Blaine Distrnstad.

1t seems that the President and his friends
blame Mr.. Blaine for the ridiculous position
in which the President placed himself by
sending a warllke message to congress
relative Co the Chilean trouble Just when
Chile was writing an apology. strong
friend of the President is quoted as saying
that Mr.. Blaine deceived both the President
and Minister Monrt.
There does not appear to be anything
upon which to base this charge against Mr.
Blaine. 1t is generally admitted that Mr.
Blaine tried to keep the President from
sending the message. He succeeded in keep.
ing it back a week, aud it was finally sent
against Mr. Blaine's advice. Mr.. Blaine
had no means of knowing that Chile had
! decided to apologize, but he believed she
would. The President also believed she
would, and he was anxious to have it appear
that she apologized in consequence of his
message.
The President probably feels unkindly
toward Mr.. Blaine because it was through
Mr.. Blaines advice that he did not send in
the message a week sooner. Had he done
so he wonld have obtained the credit of
having forced an apology. But if he had
been guided by Mr.. Blaine throughout he
would not have got himself into difficulty
which subjects him to unpleasant criticism.
The President has only himself to blames for
the failure of his effort TO make political
capital for himself.
