whose abduction startled Philadelphia

In all the long years since, the IA
Their, aided by members of his family,
searched in vain to find his missing
boy Mr.. Ross was not wealthy man

Dreaded Disease Now On

BUT THE FAMINE is AT ITS
HEIGHT AND SUFFERING
s. is TERRIBLE,
0verSeerS, Instead Of Giving Away
The Relief Funds. Are Making
Money For Their Own Pockets.
Dead Bodies Locked Up In
Abandoned Houses.

New York, June 22.-Robert p. Will
der, an American Presbyterian mis-
sionary from Poona, Ida, has just ar
rived in New York. In an interview
he said:
"The plague is abating in India but
the famine is at it's height. The
plague has been as bad in Poona, in
proportion to it's size, as in Bombay
where 1000 have died, but it is lesh-
sening. 1t moves in line like cy-
clone, and was travelling northwest
None of the people in that city through
which the plague passes will get it un-
less they are in the plague belt, or
someone who has taken the malady
carries it across to another quarter. 1t
originated, no one knows how, in a
fashionable house in Bombay on wide
street.
"A Calcutta doctor who looked at it
said well, if the plague can start in
a house like that, what will it do when
lit strikes Calcutta? One cause of the
spread of the disease among the ma
tives is said to be their practice of
walking barefooted, for even insects
can be transmitted. A friend of mine
entered house where a plague patient
had died, to get some of the soil for
an analysis. The government officials
refused to let him have it. Receiving
permission to 'disinfect' he threw some
sugar on 1t and afterward took up the
sugar together with some ants which
had collected there in his handkerchief
and carried them off. Every one. of
these ants took a plague microbe with
it..
1.-THE famine is the great thing there
now. This morning got a letter say
ing that the people were dying by the
hundred. 1t is hard to know. how to
help them, as they have no seed to
SOW, even If rains come, and their plow-
ing oxen have died. There is plenty
of grain in India, but the merchants
have it stored up in hidden pits and
won't sell it except at ruinous prices.
Some have thought that cause of the
plague was the putting on the market
of the grain twenty years old. The
government made great mistake in
not beginning their aid earlier.
1.-The trouble is with the native over
seers who rob the people frightfully.
They are paid in proportion to the
number of people they feed, and mix
earth in the grain to make their sup
plies go a long way. 1 know of one
man who got grain to distribute free
and sold it at auction. The people
are mere skeletons, living on roots and
grasses and glad to get them. Their
troubles have bred queer ideas in
them. Some of them think Queen Vic
toria has sent the plague in revenge
for the daubing of her statue in Bonn
bay. Many of them refuse to go to
the segregation hospitals, because
they think it is the intention of the
government to put them out of the way
when it gets them there. In some cas-
es they have practically shut up their
houses with dead bodies in them, and
searching parties have been organized
to unearth the corpses. The money
relief offered hitherto for the distress
in India is merely drop in the buck

Ia this connection, ii is worthy OF note
that not every bunch on beef is sure
