ONE OF the wings Of the House OF Refuge
ON Randalls Island, off New York city, was
burned last week. When the fire broke
out, over 800 children Of both sexes, rang
ing from eight to twenty, years Of age, were
in the building. Those located in the burn
ing wing were removed to another portion
OF the building. The transfer was made
without excitement and no casualties oc-
Cured.
THIRTY thousand people in Louisiana are
practically starving to death. A relief COM
mittee which has inspected the stricken
parishes east OF Shreveport, say this num-
Der of people will have to be sustained dur
ing the unfruitful season. The State has
already expended S65, 900 for provisions for
the sufferers, and calls for funds. A meeting
was held in Shreveport under call of the
Board of Trade and 1000 was subscribed.
SECRETARY HERBERT has received a re-
quest from the San Francisco Board of
Trade to detail war vessel to carry grain
to the starving people OF India. He wrote
to Senator Perkins to the effect that
1t would be impossible to grant the request,
az the war vessels, from their construction
and the great amount of space occupied by
their machinery, guns, stores, etc, are not
fitted to carry cargo. The United States
has nothing in the way Of transports or
freight vessels suitable for the purpose.
The Secretary suggests that the best way
will be for Congress to authorize the en-
ployment or charter OF vessel with suffi-
cient cargo space for the voyage. and ex-
presses his desire to facilitate the matter in
any way in his power.
Two robbers attempted to hold up Santa
Fe passenger train near KiDgman, Ariz-,
last Wednesday evening After stopping
the train they made the fireman get off
the engine and uncouple the express and
mail cars. Express Messenger Sellers
thought something was wrong and told his
assistant to get off the car on one side with
a shotgun, while he stood on the other side
with revolver. Ohe Of the robbers was
standing near the engine and the messen-
ger fred at him at short range. The robber
fell dead. The other robber then compelled
the fireman to get on the engine again and
run the engine and express and mail cars
up the road, where the robber made an I'M
successful attempt to get into the express
car The mail car was entered, and several
registered packages were taken. The rob-
Der then disappeared in the darkness.
