INFANTICIDE IN INDIA.
The Number of Babies Murdered Is
Nearly TwO-Thirds of Those Born.

From the London STANDARD.
In modern times China used to he a
by-word for this crime. We know more
Of the country now, and the wild ex-
aggeration Of the first reports, when
missionaries began to labor there,
causes many people, residents especial
ly, to disregard the evil which exists.
BY a natural reaction infanticide has
become a standing jest for the mystif-
cation Of new chums." But il would
seem that the early reports from Fiji
and the Sandwich islands were not
much exaggerated. One can hardly
credit the assertion of Mr.. Williams,
careful as he was generally, that the
number of babies murdered was nearer
twO-thirds than one-half Of those
born" But he makes a statement even
more extraordinary. Both men and
women there are passionately fond of
adopting children, though they kill

was a contribution of about $1,000, and
all roads into Kansas City brought
everything billed to "The star" free Of
cost. The government authorized Mr.
Miller to charter a ship at New orleans
to transport the goods across the gulf.
and so the $4,000 cash may be devoted
entirely to supplying the needs of Mat
anzas.
Through the practical, systematic eff
fort of one active man 900 tons Of food,
clothing and medicine, beside $4,000 in
money, were gathered together and
started on the way to Cuba within
two weeks. Mr.. Miller will arrive in
Matanzas Sunday morning to supervise
the distribution of the ships cargo up
on it's arrival which will probably be
Monday or Tuesday.

ONE PAPER'S GOOD WORK.
Nearly $4,000 Contributed in Two
Weeks for Cuban Sufferers,

"eekS Tor tuDnn sufferers.
From the Washington Post
Shortly after the destruction Of the
Maine the Kansas City Star sent its
Washington correspondent, Mr. Albert
Miller. to Havana. Upon arrival there
he found it impossible to send truthful
dispatches over the wire, owing to the
strict Spanish censorship, and that to
remain in Havana was a waste of time.
He went TO Matanzas, and in common
with every American who has visited
that town, came away pennless. Has
tening to Kansas City ne placed before
his chief the facts together with a
practical plan for relief which he had
evolved on the way. This being heart
lily approved, he Immediately began on
erations by printing in the Star of
March II a plain, forcibe statement
of the suffering he had seen, and pro-
posed to the readers OF the Star that
they adopt Matanzas and save the lives
of the poor people herded there. Every
farmer was asked TO send, from his
abundance, one bushel of potatoes, il
no more; every housekeeper to order
her grocer to leave at least one can of
condensed milk at the headquarters
provided-in fact, everybody was asked
to do what he could.
The result was that in less than two
weeks nearly $4,000 cash has been con-
tributed and twenty-one carloads OF
provisions, clothing and medicines are
on the way to Cuba. The great
hearted Western people responded so
generously and promptly that no sec
ond appeal was necessary, but each
day several columns of the Star were
devoted TO acknowledging the contri-
buttons of the twenty-fOur hours pre-
Vious. When the two trainloads left
Kansas City the inhabitants turned out
in honor of the occasion and sent them
on their mission Of mercy with hearty
cheers.
The railways transported these cars
