An Appeal for Russia.

A special cablegram from St. Petersburg
contains the following appeal from the COM
mittee OF American citizens who were sent to
Russia to aid in alternating the distress Of the
famne-stricken people of that country.
IF the American people knew the extent Of
the suffering in the famine districts of Russia
they would everywhere come to the rescue.
Twenty millions of people are affected and in
danger OF death from starvation The typhus
fever Is raging in many provinces and horses
ana cattle are perishing OF hunger.
Does this not appeal to the hearts Of those
able to help?
Russia is deeply grateful to the American
people for what they have done.
The distribution OF supplies ia under the d.
recton OF the American minister and an excel
lent committee. Nothing will DO wasted.
Every particle of food will lie properly aistrib-
n'ed Help us: Rudolph Blankenburg, A. J.

DIVISION or INFORMATION.


OF the New Branch
Secretary Elkins today issued an order de-
failing Col Robert Williams. assistant adiu,ant
general. and Major VIM. J. yolkmar, assistant
adjutsnt general, to special duty in the newly
created division of information. The division
will have its headquarters in the War Depart
ment. and will be supplied with clerical force
Sufficiently large to properly carry out the pur-
poses for which il was created.
Col. Williams, who has been selected as the
head Of the division. is the second in rank in
the adiutSnt generals department and the
fact that an officer so high in rans was chosen
Is an evidence of the interest that the Secretary
takes in the new division and the importance
that he attaches TO it. The scope of the new
division WAS outlined at length lin TIE STAR
yesterday and the matter has been freely dis
cussed by army officers since. There has been
nucleus Tor such division, but its reorgau-
iZation, which amounts almost TO a creation OF
new branch. is generally regarded as the
most important step the department has taken
for years.

The Syracuse Pool Tourney.

The feature Of last nights play in the pool
tourney at Syracuse was the narrow escape
which DE Orc, the leader had from defeat by
kuntzsch. De Orc won by a mistake Of the

The tournament is nearly ended. The last
games will probably bo played by Saturday
night. Powers leads with single defeat and
one game to play. De Orc has lost only one
game. but he has two hard ones to play. one of
them with Powers. The latter played in great

An Alleged Deal for Richards son.

The New York Herald repeats its assertion of
yesterday that deal is ''on' for Washington
to release Richardson 10 New York. 1t is said
that Basset aud 81, 500 will be the consideration.
Even the New York club officials deny the state

letting Richardson go as he has of exchanging
Manager Barnie for Pat Powers. He is not

Lawyer john A. Moss appeared in the Police
Court today as defendant, and he appeared
as his own counsel. Irespassing on the park
beside the tracks Of the Washington and
Georgetown railroad near 9TH street and Penn
sylvania avenue southeast last night was the
charge The lawyer and defendant attended a
concert last night, and while on his way home
he drove over the car tracks through the park
ing.
Policeman Kelly objected to his driving on
the ear tracks and hailed him. During the
time that the officer was discussing the ritua-
tion one of his carriage wheels, it was claimed,
accidentally got on the place where the grass
ought to be, but even this was denied by Mr..
Moss.
Judge kimball said he had driven through
the same place many time, and he said ii was
public thorougnfare and was not owned by
the railroad company. Driving on the grass.
OF course, was an offense.
The officer stated that they had recently re-
ceived strict orders about persons driving
through there.
Continuing, the judge said that even il the
carriage wheels had accidentally gone on the
parking there was no violation of law, and the
case was dismissed.

A Chicago Furniture Man Scores Sensa-
ten Mongers.

A Chicago Furniture Man Scores Sensa-
ten Mongers.
r. G. Renriek, a prominent Chicago
furniture buyer, has been at the Nor
ten house fer several days. Speaking
OF this years trade. Yesterday. he said;
Il noticed come furniture talk in yes
tsrday mornings Democrat that WAS
the most absurd rot | ever read.
There were swo columns OF the slush
which. | should judge, was the result
OF \ monumental ignorance and vivid
imagination. sueh stuff is detrimental
10 the furniture business of the city,
ana any sensible man ought To know
II. Any man that knows anything
about the furniture trade OF the coun-
try, knows tilal the trade this year has
been much ighter than il was last year.
Ii Is useless 10 deny this, for furniture
meu know the general condition OF the
trade throughout the country.
1.-The Associated Press dispatches
stated that the sales for the first week
amounted TO s. .0e0, 00o. This is
nonsense. Now $S.0o0,V0 is large
amount of money, and the furniture
men will 90 well II they sell that much
during the year. Grand Rapids is too
big furniture town To use such school
boy methods to boom the trade. When
such Wild reports as those begin to CIR
culste around the country. every furnl
ture man thinks the Grand Rapids men
must be getting III desperate straits TO
send out such news. Grand Rapids
practically controls the furniture mar
ket Of the country. Nobody dis
putes her supremacy. she makes
the most furniture aud the best
furniture that has ever been made.
Now what good could 1t co her to
swell UP anu clam to sell more furni-
ture in two weeks than she makes in
year? IL IS undlgnified, and shows
that Grand Rapids men feel that they
have been hurt by the New York ex-
hibit. As matter Of fact the New
YORK exhibit lent IN il at all, and by
the Grand Rapids mems sending out
such absurd reports they are giving it
q dignity that it doesn't merit in the
| least -

Secret Meeting of the Two Presidential
Aspiran,s ~ New York.
New YoRK, Jan. Ex-senator David
B. Hull slipped into town yes,e rday
afternoon AID registered at the Nor
:nandie. The senator has suits OF
rooms at the Hoffman, where faithful
democrats worship and to which they
are always welcome. He has not. IN
the memory OF the Oldest member of
the tribe of Tammany, accepted the
hospitality of any other hosiery, and
therefore, when the news of his pres
ence and his whereabouts went abroad
last night, there were many conf ctures
as to the secrecy of the visit. 1t was
quite easily explainable. however, for
almost simultaneously with Senator
Hills coming TO town there registered
at the Fifth Avenue hotel senator Ar.
thur y. German. of Maryland, who ia
credited with eultivating q presidential
bee of scarcely less activity and size
Than is the one that has grown in the
hothouses of the late executive al
Albany.
Senator German did not wait TO dine
at the Fifth avenue. He came from
his room almost Immediately after he
entered il, and, hailing q cab, drov. r.
the Normandie. There Senator Hill
entered it and they were driven away.
Later in the evening Senator HILL smiled
when asked if the nature of the cen
ference made it of public interest. and
insinuated that he did not regard the
meeting. II there was one, in the light
OF conference"
Senator German was not at home tc
callers.
