TERRIBLE FAMINE.
Seven Provinces Of Eastern Russia Under
going Great suffering-Not Child
Born This Year Is Alive.

London, June 14.-While famine Is
now threatening the southern pro-
vinces of Russia, the correspondent Of
the Times at st. Petersburg writes
that the condition Of the seven pro-
vinces of east European Russia Is worse
than during the famine Of 1891 and
1892. "Quite half population of H.
600. 0O0," he says, "are undergoing ter
rible sufterings, starvation and disease;
and the authorities everywhere appear
incapable and unprepared to deal
with the calamity. Money is squan-
dered in absurdly high pay to relief
agents, and, owing to the high prices
which the government charges for
seed corn, no encouragement Is given
the peasants to till the ground. 1t is
unnecessary to quote the narrowing
details from the relief agents. These
could add nothing to the stern signifi-
canoe of the statement made by Rus
sian of authority in one district in the
government of Kazan that not one child
born there this year Is now alive"

SHE PREFERRED DEATH FIRST

She was Q very plump woman. There

such circumstances. though il was related
afterwagd that she behaved with great cool
ness. There was fortunately no more seri.
Gus result from the collision than several
hours delay, but no one was quite sure in
that time what the next minute would bring
forth. The husband Of the woman with the
comfortable plumpness, like the good hus-
band that he was, Immediately after the &C.
cident found life preservers, and in a mat.
ter Of fact way started to assist his wife to
put one on. But she recoiled with such hor.
ror that for moment he was not sure but
the shock had deprived her Of her senses.
"Put on one OF those things" she almost
shrieked. "Never! just look at that fat
woman over there with one Of them on.
She looks perfect sight"
And she didn't put the life preseryer on,
and 1t was her good fortune that she had
no reason TO regret it.-N. Y. Times.

FOR THE GERMAN VOTE.
Democratic Leaders. It Is Said. VIII At
tempt to Array Men from the Faith
erlanf Against Mckinley.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Record says:
Democratic leaders have passed the
word down the line of states to demo-
cratic platform makers to see to 1t that
every democratic state convention
adopts strong platforms charging the
republican administration with delib-
erately attempting to place Germany
in n false light by claiming
that Germans were giving aid and
comfort to Spain during the late war.
The democrats intend to make this a
campaign issue and the democratic
state convention of Ohio, which will
be held next month, is expected to lead
off with strong anti-Anglo alliance
plank and another plank which will
denounce the Mckinley administration
for entering into an alleged conspiracy
with England to advance the cause OF
Imperialism at the expense Of Germany.
