ably she did not run for her train, but,
like the sensible girl she is, turned
about and went to her own suburban
church, never giving me more than a
passing thought. So l finally went
alone to hear the wonderful speaker
We had planned to hear together,
thinking l could forget my troubles
under his eloquence. On my arrival
at the place, however, what was my
dismay to find a little white card
tackled up announcing that the serv-
ices would not take place on this par
ucular Sunday on account of the sud-
den illness Of the pastor.
I concluded not to run for any more
trains, but walked over to Clark street
in a dignified manner, as befitted the
day, and took my seat on the electric
car just starting south. AS sat there.
placidly enjoying the swift motion Of
the car and the cooling breeze on my
aching head, II struck me that we were
making a good many more turns than
usual, and, looking about on either
side, could not discover one familiar
object. Finally, glancing up the street
and seeing a huge drove of steers COM
ing our way. completely filing the
street from curb to curb, and even
overlooking onto the walk, it dawned
upon me that I had boarded the car

A special correspondent Of the Lon
don Times has been inspecting the CEN
trail native states in India, and the
Bundelkhand district. He says that in
the former no provision was made
against the coming famine, and that six
weeks ago hundreds of starving people
were waiting at the railroad stations to
beg food from passengers, their only
means of sustenance. The discovery
of dead bodies on the line is a matter
of common occurrence. At Banda, in
the Bundelkhand province, nearly one
half OF the entire population, 700 900,
were destitute. In the orphanage the
correspondent found 400 children I'M
der fifteen years of age. On the relief
works $4,000 natives were employed in
road construction, each family having
its allotted task, the men digging, the
women carrying material. Owing to
the plague at Bombay it has been found
exceedingly difficult to provide proper
implements for the laborers, and large
numbers of the women were carrying
earth in small brass food trays and 9TH
er little vessels. The work extended
over seventeen miles, and at every mile
there was an adequate supply of good
water. All the wells are guarded very
strictly. A Brahmin serves the water
through an iron trough and each re-
cipient catches it in his own vessel.
The correspondent visited the local
poorhouse, where he found 1000 in
mates, mostly women and children in
various stages Of emaciation. The chill
dren were fed on milk, the adults on
rice and soup. While he was there a
woman was brought in who had been
found deserted in the city. She was a
mere skeleton, was absolutely desti-
tute of clothing, and almost every bone
and joint in her body was visible. She
had, II appeared, been discovered in an
empty house. Many Of the inmates
were terribly emaciated and exhibited
