The Plague in India.
[Julian Ralph,s Cable Letter.

lOuiidu ndipn Odui6 Leltor.l
The New York Journal of Monday,
Jan. Is, contains the following spec
ial cable dispatch from Julian Ralph
in reference to the rise and progress
of the plague in India. Advices from
other correspondents verify the seri-
Gus situation:
No such calamity has befallen British
India since the mutiny of 1857 as the
scourge of plague and famine that now
RACES over so many vast areas of that
populous land. And yet, until within
the last few days, the English press
hardly thought it worth while to obtain
any special information on the subject.
There has been plague before, and there
has been famine before, but never have
the two conformity ragged with such vio-
lence as now. Epidemics like this shake
the British grip on India. A whole ma.
ton of many millions of men is moving
uneasily in agitation and alarm like the
muttering of the sea before the storm.
The disease crept into India from the
purlieus of Hongkong, where it had
ragged furiously for weeks. Owing to the
insularity of the place it could not be
stamped out. 1t first appeared in Cal
cutta. Then. a few days later, suspic-
ious case was reported from Bombay.
The people at once said it was the
plague, but the authorities uttered
shrek of angry denunciation, saying it
was false and SANDER. 1t proved too
true, however. Then came another case;
then several; then scores; then hundreds.
Now Bombay is veritable city of dead
and dying Never from the start have
the authorities been capable of coping
with the spread of the epidemic. The
officials of the municipalities were more
or less incompetent. The Europeans la
bored nobly, but were overworked, The
natives refused to permit the isolation
of invalids. They inaugurated riots in
the streets and stormed the hospitals
aud we're fired on by the police. Every
new health ordinance clashed with some
religious custom or outraged some cher.
ished native observance. Everybody who
could fed from the town. Hundreds of
thousands ssampeded The railway sta.
tions we're packed, steamers we're loaded
down with flying human beings, and
they seized every available vehicle.
Those who we're unable to leave re-
NAMED and died.
Thousands are Dead
Official statistics admit that some 2 500
are dead already out of the 800 persons
who were seized with the plague, but
these figures do not nearly represent the
true state of affairs. The death rate is
now about 200 daily, and most of the
victims are swept away in few hours
from the time of their seizure. Alfred

Mail, who, by the strange irony of fate

YOUNG PEOPLES DAY.

Next Sunday, January 81, is the day
appointed by the National Union to
be observed by all Unioners as ''Y Dung
Peoples Day" The exercises by the
Unions will be arranged to develop more
largely the missionary spirit among the
members of this important auxiliary to
our church. The day is one which
should command the attention, sympa-
thy and cooperation of all members of
the Universalist Church. The organiza-
ton and work of the Y. p. g. U. has
already developed an enlarged DISPOSE
ton on the part of our people for ag-
gressive missionary work. The organ
ization of a church and erection of a
house of worship at Hartman, Tenn;
the establishment of missions which af-
ford large promise Of success at Atlanta
Ga, and Knoxville. Tenn, are grand
illustrations of what may be accom-
plished when our whole church becomes
imbued with the spirit 80 largely domi.
nant among our young people. The day
will not only be devoted to addresses.
songs and prayers, but collections for
missionary work will be taken. Pastors
will not find their influence lessened if
they should deliver sermons appropriate
to the day.
LIE ROY.
Our correspondent at LIE Roy writes:
"Our church cleared $50 at the fair
which was held before Christmas. The
addition to the church is nearly com.
pleted and when done we will have a
parlor or Sunday-school room above,
and dining room and kitchen below.
We hope to make other improvements
before Murray Association meets here
the last of August. Our pastor, Rev.
Abbie E. Danforth. is giving us most ex-
cellent sermons. Our Y. P. @. U. will
hold its devotional meetings after Sun
day school during the winter, while the
roads are bad"

TENNESSEE. - Knoxville. - Rev,
Harry L. Veazey is making name for
himself in the Southern mission field, as
we'll as name among the clergy of this
thriving city of East Tennessee.
No easy task is it for a young man to
have charge of two growing churches,
fifty miles apart. but Bro. Veazey is
equal to it. A class of twenty was re-
Gently organized by him, for church
membership here in Knoxville. and a
portion joined last Sunday night, the
18th, and were received by Bro. Nc.
Glauflin, of the Atlanta (Georgia)
church, who came here for that pur-
pose, Bro. Veazey not yet having been
ordained, and conseq uently not qualified
to receive the members. The others,
and no doubt several more, will join in
February. when Bro. Shinn will proba.
bly, spend Sunday with US.
Bro. McGlauflin preached in Harri-
man on Sunday morning. the 18th, and
arrived in Knoxville in time for the
night service. Bro. Veazsy preached in
Atlanta both morning and night. The
mission field South is glorious one;
one has but to till its Christian soil to
love the work, and would that We had
more young men who would be willing
to consecrate themselves to the work of
spreading our blessed faith and build
ing churches.

"The Missouri Universalist," our
State paper, is at present making point
of expounding some of the most salient
doctrines of our faith, and commenting
Oh some of the so.called stumbling

much good in the State where the forces

YOUNG PEOPLES DAY.
Through mistake the Y. P. G. US of
the State were advised to make prepar-
atoms to observe Young Peoples Day
on the first Sunday in January instead
of the last. As yet we have heard no
reports from the various Unions, SO do
not know whether or not they discovered
the mistake in time to postpone their
special services.

AKRON AFFAIRS.

A correspondent from Akron gives US
the following encouraging intelligence
concerning our church and college at
Akron: IL am glad to say that we have
now raised over $1,000 in subscriptions
for the current year, and the prospect of
enough more subscriptions to cover
every expense is very good. In ordinary
years the money raised by the women
and other organizations would be sufti-
cient to pay this delinquency, but we do
not intend to depend this year upon that
assistance. The attendance of the church
is large, and everybody. so far as know.
is we'll pleased, and even enthusiastic.
Everybody was surprised to find how
many men in the prime of life could be
counted upon in the time of need; and
it seems to me that the Akron church
exhibits more vitality at the present
time than have ever observed before.

Thus it viii not he necessary to use the
patrol wagon as is sometimes the case
at present
1t is police theory that the failure
of locating the perpetrators of many
dcprcGatiors in the business section is
due to the present poor location of the
only station house in the central dis
triCt. A fight occurs or something
else engages the attention of two or
more patrUlmcn who have to absent
themselves from their beats and are
possibly obliged to help escort prison

the interim evildoers can pursue their
vCcations undisturbed. This will not
be the case after the Center street
station house is opened.

tsrnoon and evening. Among the at
tractive articles on exhibition We're
several lovely pieces of tapestry. Mrs.
stevens will remain today when the
fancy work will be viewed by many
lovers of the beautiful i'm art.
Scranton Is becoming pretty thor
oughly supplied with mills wherein ATE
manufactured silks and other fabrics,
and after few more are located hero
1t is likely that the board of trade will
discourage the establishing OF others,
particularly silk mills. This was the
information given by a prominent
member of the board yesterday.
For this there are several reasons
offered: over 1900 operators ard
others are now employed in Scranton
fabric mills or viii be when the big
Tenth ward mill and other plants now
about to be erected are finished. The
number of employees will then almost
equal the supply. In the event of de-
preston in the fabric trade Scranton
does not want to feel it's effect.
1t has been the aim Of the board Of
trade during the past three years 10
secure for the city varied kinds Of
manufacturing industries. Success has
crowned the boards efforts so far as
fabric plants are concerned and in
other directions, too, but the former
has been the more pronounced and in
future the board will turn its attention
toward other lines of trade.

per schedule, after the Thanksgiving
recess and when the students arrived
Monday morning and learned that some
of the furniture had been removed on
Saturday, those who had paid their tut

ricd.
Tuesday brought some consolation
and hope i'm the shape of a letter from
the professor in which he said that the
inability of the students To pay during
the hard times made it nee Ccssary to re-
organize the school on more econ
omical basis; that this would be done
all Lills be paid and the students cared
for. Tuesdays News-Dealer contained
