FAMINE IN INDIA.
What Missionaries Say of the Stu
alton.

To the Editor of the Globe
Recently the press referred to the famine
IN india, with comment upon the effect in
commercial affairs. l wish to call attention
to another phase Of the question Three mis-
sionaries of the Christian church have lust
written nome upon the situation, and copy
Few lines from their letters which are Of
interest viz:
Whole districts have been, or are nearly
depopulated. The natives have disposed Of
everything even to the sale of cattle for food

"a woman has just entered the mission
prem ses, saying, 1 am hungry, four days
hungry, and, looking up, we see the abiect
form OF woman, who has thrown herself for
ward in beseeching attitude. -Four days
hungry; come six miles-dying for hunger
Why she came do not need to ask for
with her is child of eight or ten years, wear
filthy rag. L will die, why should my child
she answers, when asked why she wishes
TO part with her child. The woman Is ques-
toned, consents to write her name surrender
ing the child to the mission, departs, and
within an hour the little one is washed,
dressed and fed.
1.-TWO women are seated a short distance
from the house, each with a child she wishes
TO leave here. One is being impressed that
she must expect no money, not even hand
famine-stricken children TIL we have over
seventy girls and twenty boys

are 81 near StdrNdIlOn as TO nave their bones

We take the babe tenderly, and dropping
some milk from our finger tips into its
mouth, are rejoiced to see it revive" etc.
The famine must continue, since it is but
the close of the harvest season now, and
months must elapse before another harvest
can be secured. What will the American ma
ton, with its abundance, do about the mat
ter? Mr. Editor. | ask that the missionaries
be upheld in their work; that money be sent
them by Christian and infidel alike creed

They had been summoned to answer to

their fates still hang in the balance.
Malone was charged with conduct
toward a woman, unbecoming an Of

perior officer with having absented
himself from his beat for five hours at
a time without being able to make a
satisfactory explanation. The outcome
of the case against Young will be

against him in the three years that he

TO ADMIT HALF-RATERs.
White Bear Yacht Club Takes Action
In Their ReknIf

Vice Commodore ]. w. Taylor, of
the White Bear Yacht club presided
over an important meeting of the jolly
tarS composing that noted organiza-
ticn at the Aberdeen last evening. A
number of important matters were up
for consideration, and one Of the most
important was a step taken to make
half-raters and small craft possibility
In the inter-lake contests.
The Minnetonka Yacht club some time ago
appointed committee of three to confer with
similar committee from the White Bear
club to consider the classification and meas
urement of small craft on the lakes and the
proposition was thought well of by the mem
bers OF the latter organization. Messrs. Tracy
Lyons, ]. P. Elmer and F. R. Bigelow were
appointed as a committee to confer with the
Minnetonka gentlemen, and it is expected
that the conference will result in the admis-
sion Of half-raters next season. This will
add considerable spice to lake races in the
future.

will be done this winter as soon as the ice
Is thick enough to carry on the measure
ments. The new course will be five knots
twice around, making a race Of about eleven
miles.
The old matter Of fouls during huff of
racers came up, and the old objections and
difficulties were largely obyiated by the adop-
ton of new rule. The trouble has been in
deciding which boat began huff. The new
rule will read hereafter: when of two
shall not alter her course so far as, to involve
risk Of fouling. except that a yacht may
huff as she pleases to prevent another from
passing her to windward." 1t is believed the
new rule will be far more satisfactory than
the old.
The committee which so successfully man
aged the inter-lake series last year was re-
appointed to serve the coming season. The
committee Is composed of Messrs. W. 3.
Dean, H. T. Drake, c. M. Griggs and Dr. J.
NJ. Welsh. 1t is expected that the toss-up

In the Name of the state.

The case of The State of Minnesota vs.. The
Bank of New England was tried before Judge
Belden and concluded with che exception of
the arguments, which WIFI be heard later.
The action is brought to enforce the liability
of the stockholders of the bank and as John
p. Rea, the receiver, was a stakeholder, and
he could not legally sue himself the action
had to be brought in the name of the state
although the state did not actually appear in
the case by It's attorneys The case will be
concluded in few weeks. ~

There; Is much discussion among
those concerned in the reorganization
of the Northern Pacific Railroad as
to the form of the charter the company
is to have or whether it is advisable
to foreclose the property at present, in
view of the fact that the present Con-
gress has failed to give the company a
new charter. A story Is afloat in Wall
Street to the effect that the failure of
Congress to pass the expected legisla-
ton was partly. dne to the efforts OF
the. bondholders Of the Seattle. Lake
Shore and Eastern Railroad, who are
said to have t$5 100000 claim the
Northern Pacific refuses to adjust.
The sale of the road is advertised to
take place next month, but as no action
in regard to the new charter was taken
at this session of Congress it is consid-
cred likely that the sale will be post
poned. A charter might be obtained
from one of the states, but 1t would lack
many of the valuable rights that are
enjoyed by the old company under it's
present charter.

which he says is to show his grand
children the crankiness of the present

the Midland, chat his grandchildren
will be more ashamed of their grand
fathers business than amused at the
folly of prohibitionists. Not many
children to-day are boasting of their
father selling slaves before the war.

considered as great a disgrace to have
kept a saloon or brewery, as to have
conducted an auction block for the sale

The bicycle trust does not seem to
have been a success. The sudden ces-
sation in the demand for wheels has
caused several failures among bicycle
manufacturers and big drop in prices.
Bicycle agents and manufacturers say
there is no possibility Of trust, as the
smaller manufacturers would not be-
come parties to it, but the rumors have
had the effect of precipitating a war of
rates, and the result is that wheels are
now selling at from $32 to $48, where
$50 and s100 were formerly the prices.
This does not apply to all makes. 1t
is said the actual cost of labor, mate
rial. and freight charges in a bicycle
ranges from S32 to $3S, so manufactur-
ers, jobbers and agents have apparently
had handsome margin of profits to
divide.

Cecil Rhodes and Barney Barnato, the
South African mining kings, are said
to have turned their attention to the
newly discovered gold fields in the re-
gion lying west and southwest of Lake
kootenai, in British Columbia, just
north of the international boundary
line. They have sent experts to inves-
tigate the prospects. These experts de-
clare the richness Of the Rossland and
Trail creek mountain regions far sur
passes anything South Africa ever
dreamed of. This report, it is thought,
will be followed by the investment of a
large amount Of capital in that section
by those mining magnates and other
wealthy Englishmen who follow their
lead in such enterprises.
