Famine I'm India.

The condition of India would seem to
demand the immediate attention of Eng
land. Lord George Hamilton, secretary
of state for India, plainly admits that 49,
0O0, 900 persons are either affected or threat
ened with famine. The Spectator states
that ''altbough il is clear that all possible
will be done, we fear that black time in
the social and financial history of India is
inevitable" England now can, with some
show of humanity, drop her temporizing
sympathy for Armenia and her aggrandiE
ing schemes in Egypt and hasten to the re-
lief of her own.

An Helress who Became a Barber.

Susan Ashley, who was buried at West
field, Mass, Saturday, is remembered by
the older residents as a member of the
most aristocratic family of that town. She
inherited one-fifth of her fathers estate of
$1,000, 600, and at the age of 10 married
j. G. White, a wealthy young man of Chi
cago. Mr.. and Mrs. White spent their
honeymoon in Europe and of the many
women of that time presented to the
Queen of England at Windsor Castle none
attracted more attention than the beauti-
full young American. Mr.. and Mrs. White
were social leaders in this country for sew
eral years. Mr.. White occupied many
high positions, including that of ambassa-
dor to Brazil. An arrangement took
place between them Is years ago and Mrs.
White resumed her maiden name. Her
daughter went with her. Mrs. Ashley's
fortune dwindled to $50, 900, and this was
invested in real estate at Chicago, with the
result that in a short time only $4,000
was left. Mrs. Ashley felt that she must
begin work, and without consulting her
relatives she rented a shop on West Madi-
son street, Chicago, and hung out a sign
"Lady Barber" She pTospered In hel
work and the shop is still running today
by the daughter, who shaves all who come
in spite of the fact that she can now afford
to abandon the work.

A Saving OF s9,OOO,OO Credited to
Civil Service Rules.

At its fourth annual report issued at
Washington the secretary of agriculture
shows that, with $2S0,000 which may be
saved from the appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year, there will have been COW
cred back into the treasury by his depart
ment since March Z, 1898, over 81, 900, 900.
That this great economy was effected with
out any loss of efficiency he attributes in
large degree to the improvement in the
personnel of the force under civil-serVice
rules.

jured. Two men were taken to the hos
pital in a dying condition, two others can
not survive their wounds and seven others
are dangerously wounded. The police ar
rived on the scene after the affair had been

An American Actress OF Sensational
Record Abroad.

The princess of Chimay and Caraman,
wife of Prince Joseph of Chimay and Car
aman, Belgium, who has eloped with
Hungarian gypsy musician, was formerly
Miss Clara Ward of Detroit. Der father
was the richest man in Michigan and
owned thousands of acres of valuable pine
lands and the biggest feet of vessels on the
great lakes. The father died when Clara
was two years old, and her mother married
Cameron, the Canadian banker. The
daughter was taken abroad TO be educated,
but she possessed the headstrong traits of
her father and refused to stay in school.
Her marriage to the prince took place
when she was only II. Her acts through
recent years have not been above suspicion,
aud Notwithstanding the birth of two chill
dren she and the prince have often quar-
relied. The announcement that she has
eloped with Hungarian of low birth and
no social or financial position does not
cause great surprise. When she fed she
carried jewels worth 100000.

A Shocking Death Results From an In
ItiatIOn.
G. W. Curry of Des Moines, Ia, chair
man of the Democratic state central COM
mittee, died last week from the effects of
tortures received at his initiation into the
lodge of Elks. He vas seated in a thin
iron chair and a lighted lamp placed I'M
derneath it, the supposition being that he
would spring from the chair as soon as the
heat was felt. Mr.. Curry was partially
dazed by the influence of liquor and was
irresponsible to the sense of pain. Sudden
ly a thin wreath of smoke was seen curl
ing upward from the seat of the chair and
an odor of burning flesh was detected.
Mr.. Curry was finally lifted from the chair,
the seat of which was red hot. Mr.. Curry
was taken TO the hospital, but failed to get
relief. For two months he lay in bed suf-
fering untold torture. He had actually
been cooked alive, and blood poisoning
setting in caused death. Indignation is
general and threats are being made to
make the case subject of judicial inves-
| tigation.

We have made no attempt to examine

We do not consider it a good business sys-

disbursement of as large sums of money as
the maintenance of the asylum requires
and make the same person purchasing
agent and general manager of business
transactions, and we consider the require
ment of section 1855, Vermont statutes, that

insubordinate, DIR. Giddings was called and
directed that she should be placed under
restraint by putting straps upon her with
which TO conine her hands. The patient
resisted and a struggle ensued, during
which the doctor was assisted by two OF
the female attendants. In the course OF
the struggle the patient was struck several
blows by the doctor across her legs with a
strap used for the purpose of fastening her
hands.
She wore at the time skirt and long
waist that buttoned down the shoulder and
arm. This strap was of leather about an
inch and a half in width and had buckle
at one end. Upon the following day there
were marks upon the patients limbs OF
the blows, and in one place there appeared
to be mark where some part of the buckle
had broken the skin and the wound had
bled. IL was stated by one of the attend
ants who was present at the time that Dr.
Giddings was enraged at the PATIENTS con-
duct.
We consider the circumstances of this
transaction, so far as the striking is con-
cerned, as entirely unjustifiable.
He Clicked Hattie Lackey.
On aaother occasion a patient named
Hattie Lackey became violent in the even
ing and by the attendants WAS locked in her
room and DR.. Giddings notified of the fact.
He came to the room, and when opening
the door she threw "chamber" at him.
Whether It hit him or not Is not known.
He entered the room and struggle be-
tween them ensued, during which she was
thrown down across the footrail of the bed
and afterward removed to the hall, strug-
Cling all the time. While in the hall she
was laid down upon the floor and DR., Gid
dings with the attendants attempted to re-
strain her hands and feet with straps. She
resisted, and was choked by the doctor into
submission. Her feet were fastened to-
gether, heI hands placed behind her and
fastened together with contrivance SINH
lar to handouts, and in that condition she
was taken to another room, placed upon a
woven wire bed, fastened there, lying upon
her back, and allowed TO remain there dur
ing the night.
The witness to the transaction testified
that at the time the doctor manifested
considerable degree of anger to the patient
and majority Of the committee find that
more force and violence was exercised by
the doctor on the occasion than was justi
fable under the circumstances. AS before
stated, various other occasions when VIC
lence was exercised upon the patient by DIR
Giddings were stated by different witnesses
As to whether the violence was in fact ex
ercised and If exercised whether justlfiable
the committee are not agreed.

SOME GOOD ADVICE. +"

Young man-you are the one.
You who think it looks big, and
brave, and manly to curse, or tote
a pistol, or get drunk and yell like a
demon, or strut around doing noth-
ing and your last years clothes not
paid for. Sit down here, | want to
say a word to you. You are just
starting out in life. You have
strength and your mind is bright
and susceptible of great improve
ment, but the culture you are
applying will only produce a crop of
tares and thorns, That liquor will
ruin your robust constitution and
finally dethrone your reason and
send you to the ditch those bias
phemous words will soon lead you
to that degree where you will re-
spect mankind as little as you do
your God by uttering them; that
pistol in your pocket makes you feel
big, but sometime it will be jerked
out in passion and perhaps your
best friend killed, and then-a
desolate home, broken hearts and
disgrace; your midnight rcvellings
will soon rob your checks of their
color and wreck your health. But,
you say, you are not going that lar.
Well, others have said that, but
Just kept on, and where did they
stop? AS every yard boat passes
over going down stream increases
its speed, so does every indulgence
send you further down the road to
ruin, Yes you say, you must have a
good time while young" Well, you
will find out some day that you
must "pay the fiddler" Some day
when you look back over a life
spent in recklessness you will shed
bitter tears of regret. Stop to-
dayl The world needs you-needs
boys with courage and principle
who shun the wrong and love the
right.-Ex.

Don't think because you are sick
and nothing seems to give you re-
lief that you can't be cured.
There must be cure for you
somewhere.
If your doctor can't cure you,
perhaps he has mistaken the cause,
Anybody is liable to make a mistake
sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from in
digestion, and one out OF every
three dyspeptlcs doesn't know it.
That is, he may know he is sick, but
he blames it to something else,
Indigestion is the cause of half of
our dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made
from tonic medicinal roots and
herbs, is the most natural cure for
indigestion. 1t relieves the sYmp-
toms and cures the disease gently,
naturally, efficiently, giving fresh
life, strength and health to sick
dyspeptics.
