Heathen Sacrifice.

Mrs. Rance Lalros, woman between
so and s5, arrived in Chicago recently
from India, via Yokohama and San
Francisco, with her husband. Mrs
Lalros' husband is Eurasian from
Lahore, and Christian, but the wom-

be converted, and has brought with her
from her native Benares copper
statuette Of the goddess SILVA. which
she worships at leisure, while her hus-
band may be attending services in the
nearest Episcopal church. They toll
crate each other and live happily to-
gether with their three beautiful
daughters, two OF whom are of their
fathers creed. while the third, the
youngest, is devout worshiper of SILVA
and Ganeesha.
Mrs. Lalros has history that is most
interesting, for she was about to be-
come n victim to the terrible suttee of
her caste when rescued by the man who
afterward became her husband. As IL
