true In society, ON the street, at the theatre

facts sustain the belief that American wo-

1t is the common observation OF both

spirits Is an Increasing dread Of exposure

FAMINE IN FINLAND.

1t Is Feared That Whole Commune
ties Have Perished.
The famine in North Finland is increas-
ing. and there is movement in Sweden to
renew the subscriptions of last year for the
aid of the starving Finlanders. Although
the famine is raging in Russian territory,
vet the Firms, on account Of their old at.
tachment to Sweden, look to the Swedes
rather than to the Russians for assistance.
Many villages are snowbound, and it IS
feared that the sufferings Of the people are
intense, as they have no means OF breaking
through the great drifts on account OF the
weakness Of themselves and Of their cattle.
Il is feared that whole communities have
persisted, as nothing has been heard from
them for number Of DAYS.
Owing to the hardness Of the Firms it is
hoped, however, that the famine has not
been so destructive Of life as many appre.
hend. It Is believed that the survivors will
abandon the country by wholesale during
the coming spring and summer and remove
to some part of North America where they
will have a better chance to maintain them
selves.
