twp. gives vivid description of the
the starving people of India, in her let
ter from that country, and she asks for
contributions of money, which can De
sent to us or any person agreed upon,
and which will be forwarded to her by

People who have money to spare tor
charity will perhaps find no more pro

in the central provinces of India; but
at the same time it seems strange "
Americans that the people OF England

made them the commercial masters OF
the world by robbing these same people
should now allow them to starve

six generals and sixty-five officers above

first one erected was to the memory of
John Howard, in 1896 The statue stands
near the iron gate leading to the south

scriptions are in Latin, notably the clas-
sic one on the statue of Doctor

The first stone of St Paurs cathedral
was laid June d 1915. and the building
completed in Ills. The choir was first
finished and choral service performed for
several years, while the rest Of the build

scaffolds, with a vast circle open to the

imposing, and it is expected there will be
the greatest gathering Of Free Masons
that the order has ever known.

main feature that will recommend it to

The cheapness with which my re-

ceded for some time past by every one

travel of the future would be on ele-
waited roads, but, Of course, they were

1t is my intention to form a company

expect this line to be in Shape to run
not later than 1900, and when once in

London, Nov. 27.-The announcement

the coming celebration of the bicen-
tenary Of St Paurs cathedral has ere
.ated a stir among Free Masons far

time that an event in connection with
this historic sanctuary has been at

the majority of the men employed in
building it were Free Atasons, working
under the direction OF the architect,
Sir Christopher Wren, the first grand
master Of England.
The artisans employed during the
construction of St Paurs cathedral
used as a special hosiery the citys
most famous tavern, the Goose and

the cradle Of Free Masonry. Sir Chris
