the attraction at Ford's Next week
mi ss Francis, of Yale" is the catchy, fun
suggesting title of the latest farcical play,
which is to be seen in this city the week of
March 9th. This production is entirely out
of the beaten path, and is described as being
the most brilliant exposition of bright, intel
lgent, rollicking fun that has yet emanated
from an American playwright. 1t is from
the pen of Michael Norton, brother to
Martha Morton, the brilliant author of Will
liam Fl. Cranes success, "My Wife's Father"
and "A Fool Of Fortune" and also of Hugh
Morton, the author of IAN American Beau
ty,' in which Lillian Russell is now appear
ing in New York. miss Francis of Yale"
is described as the limit of laughter, not that
kind which yields to butfoonery, but that
which emnates from bright, terse dialogue,
humorous complications and the intelligent
hnmor which naturally arises from well
told story dealing with the farcical side OF
life. Etienne Girardot, who is remembered
here for his clever work in the title role OF
"Charley's Aunt" will play the principal
part in the comedP.

report was as follows
ITO the Honorable the Judges of the Cir

"The grand jury assembled for the Febru-

ton Number of persons in Jail, 20; one held
as a witness. They visited the Maryland
School for the Deaf and Dumb with much
pleasure, being treated with courtesy by
Prof Charles w. Ely and Miss Marley.
Have also visited Montevue Hospital at their
own expense and found everything under
the management OF Superintendent Derr in
excellent condition. The separation Of col
ored inmates from the white people is
great boon to all. The hospital affords great
relief for the sick and enjoys excellent SAM
tary management. The number of inmates
in Montevue is, white males, "a; white
females, SO; colored males, Al; females, "a;
children, males, white, 4; females, 3; tramps,
70; female tramps, j.; total 298.
"Thc attention of the grand jury he's been
called, but too late for them to take action
in the matter, to the arrest of tramps along
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
commitment of them by magistrates to the
House of Correction, with free transporta-
ton and involving a heavy expense to the
taxpayers Of the county.

THE FAMINE BELT

In India is 1900 Miles Long and 400
Miles Wide-Terrible Tales of Suffer-
ing.
JABALPUR, India, Feb 1O.-An exam
ination of central India shows that
the famine is prevailing in an area
larger than has been affected in CEN
fury, and it is likely that the NOR
tality resulting from the scarcity
Of food and attendant diseases
will exceed that of any previous
famine within a hundred years.
The details of the disaster are
horrible to contemplate. Medical
attendance for the sick is inadequate,
and many lives that might otherwis
be saved are thus sacrificed. The poor
houses are filed to overfiowing. and
there is a continual stream of applica-
tions for admission, which have to be
refused from those who feel that the
aid sought for is the only thing that
will save them from certain, but lin.
gering death.
The emaciation of some of the suf-
ferers almost passes belief. 1t does
not seem possible that human beings
could reach such condition and still
live. Instances are numerous
where adults weigh less than
Sc pounds, and they present the
appearance of skin-covered skeletons,
which in fact they are. A fresh food
supply in the rice districts is impossi-
BILE to be obtained until September, by
which time, unless aid is Forthcoming
from some source, the deaths will reach
frightful number.
The famine belt is 1900 miles long
and 400 miles wide, and among the
dense population there is only com.
paratively small percentage that is
not affected by the great calamity.

The Page Wire Fence In Bourbon.

MILLERsBURG, KY, May 4, 80.
MEssRs. MILLER & COLLINS, Agents,
Paris, Kentucky.
Gentlemen Il have had the Page
Woven Wire Fence on my farm for
about eighteen months and am well
pleased with it. 1t has proved to be all
that is claimed for it. 1t turns all kinds
of stock and is as tight as it was the day
it was put up and has stood some severe
tests. A horse of one of my neighbors
fell across the fence few months ago
and was not taken off for several hours
but when taken of the fence went back
to its place all right with the exception
of few staples. During the storm Of
April Oath good-sized tree was blown
across the fence and bent it down to the
ground. AS soon as the tree was cast
off the fence went up all right and was
as good as ever with the exception OF
one broken wire and few staples out
of place.
lam 80 well pleased with the fence
that am going to put up more of it
right away. Respectfully,

a PITTSBURGH LAWYER
Being Considered in Connection With the
Attorney Generalship.

Attorney GeneralShlp.
CANTON, O., Feb. 11.-Cabinet specu-
lation took fresh start Wednesday
with the arrival of P 81. Knox, the
well-known Pittsburgh lawyer, who is
now being considered in connection
with the attorney generalship. Mr..
Knox doubtless came by invitation, for
he is aware that he had been suggested
for cabinet position and under such
circumstances he could not with pro-
priety visit Canton unless requested to
do so by the president-elect. Mr..
Knox is less than fifty years of age
and has one of the largest and most
lucrative law practices in Pennsyl-
vania and is already man of large
means. He is supported by the
best people OF the community in
all lines of business and indus
trial and professional life and is
understood not to belong to either fac
ton of the republican party in Penn
sylvania The belief is general here
that he is being much more seriously
considered for the cabinet than Gel. j.
j. McCook, of New York. MAJ. Nc
Kinley's first caller Wednesday morn
ing was Congressman elect E. L. Ham
ilton, of Niles, Mich. He discussed
state matters and patronage in his dis
trict and the tariff. Victor M. Gore,
of Boston Harbor, Mich, was also a
caller
CANTON, O., Feb. 11.-There is no
truth in the report that Senator Sher-
man will not leave the senate and will
not become secretary of state for the
reason that it is thought Gov. Bushnell
may not appoint Mr.. Hanna to the
senate. Among the president-elect's
callers Wednesday morning were C. C.
Shayne, of New York, Chas B. Smith
and J. w. Vandervoor, of Parkers-
burg, w. Va. Gen. Horace Porter left
for Washington Wednesday.
