In her Indian empire England
has some 29O,OOO,OOO people. Of
these 100000 are now affected
by the famine and only 3,25O,OOO
are receiving relief. The viceroy
Lord Curzon, announces that in
this appalling disaster India will
have to strive and suffer alone,
as "the thoughts of every English
man in the world are centred on
South Africa" Even SO. 1t is a
commentary on imperialism. In

THE LIFE AND WORK OF
DWIGHT L. MOODY.

y III = I. +. y
This memorial volume is being
written by the Rev. j.. Wilbur
Chapman, LII. D.; the author is
the best man to write his life, for
he knew Mr.. Moody more inti-
mately than any living Minister,
and he twas on whom Mr.. Moody
desired that the mantle of his
work and power might fall. AS
Elisha caught up the mantle of
Eliza, so DR.. Chap, nan has caught
up the spirit of his departed
friend and will carry on the work.
Assisting in the preparation of
this Memorial Volume are the
Rev. f. Z. Meyer, of London, VINO
writes the introduction, and Rev.
Henry M. Wharton, who contrib
utes two chapters, one entitled
"Personal Rememb berances of the
great Evangellst", and the other,
"A Month with Moody in CHI
cago." They also labored with
Mr.. Moody and loved him and
were loved in return. Recogniz- s
ing their duty to the sorrowing
world, these three Evangellsts are
preparing a Memorial of Dwight
L. Moody. as tribute of flowers
to sacred memory.
OF all the great preachers of
the world, not one ever spoke to
such congregations as Dwight l..
Moody. livery body everywhere>
received his words, and every
church and every pulpit was
opened to him; no one else could
gather such enormous multitudes
to hear the Gospel Story.
This book will be beautifully
illustrated from photographs,
many of which were taken by
special PERMISSION during the fu-
neral services at Northfield, and
from a friend Of Mr.. Moody the
publishers have secured valu-
able collection Of photographs of
friends, hauuts and incidents of
the great Evangelist.
This book will contain 500
pages, large clear type on good
paper and handsomely bound.

continued, were already receiv

While IN 1897 the world shared
India's sorrow and contributed
hundreds Of thousands of pounds
toward the relief fund, the vice

Common
Sense
Talk with
Women

If person is i'll and needs a medi-
cine is 1T not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
drcdS of thousands of cures to it's
credit?
A great many women who are ill try
every thing they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwiSc, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
perimcnts and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record AaS been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such n record for cures.
1t seems SO strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful :
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
+. Pinliham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been pT blishcd in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should. and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to diSlodgc.
and when they are aSllCd to take some
thing else they say. NO, we want

FORTY ONE DEAD IN WRECK.
Passenger Train on Southern Rail-
way Runs Into n Washout.

Atlanta, June Pa passenger train
on the Macon branch of the southern
railway ran into washRsAh a mile and a
half north of McDonouGMyAGa. and was
completely wrecked. The wreck caught
fire, and the entire train, with the excep.
tion of the sleeper, was destroyed. Ev-
cry person on the train except the occu-
pants of the Pullman car perished. Not
member of the train crew escaped.
Forty-one lives, it is known, were lost.
The train, consisting of a baggage car,
second class coach, first class coach and
Pullman sleeper, was knocked into kin
ding wood by the fall. The wreck caught
fire few minutes after the fall, and all
the coaches were burned except the Pull
man car.
There was no escape, as the heavy
Pullman car weighted down the others,
and the few alive in the sleeper were un-
able to render assistance to their fellow
passengers.
For a brief time there was silence.
Then the occupants of the Pullman car
recovered from the bewilderment and
after hard work managed to get out of
their car and found themselves on the
track in the pouring rain. The extent of
the catastrophe was quickly apparent.
Flames were already seen coming from
that part of the wreckage not covered by
the water. AS the wreck began to go to
pieces under the destructive work Of both
flames and flood human bodies hoated
out from the mass and were carried down
stream by the swift current.

smv! OUR TROOPS IN CUBA
War Department NIny Decide to Re
duce the Force Greatly.

Washington, June 25.-As soon as Sec
retary Root returns to this city early next
week final arrangements will be made for
the withdrawal of as many troops as can
hs spared from further service in Cuba.
According TO reports received from Gov
arnor General Wood, the elections passed
off quietly and without serious disorder
at any point, and affairs generally have
become tranquil, with no indications of
further trouble. In consequence of this
encouraging state of affairs the officials
Of the war department are considering
the question of a large reduction of the
military force in Cuba.
1t has been estimated that about one
half of the troops can safely be brought
home within the next few months. Moth
ing will be settled as to which regiments
shall come until after Secretary Root
returns to the city. There is an impress
sion, however, that the Fifth infantry,
stationed principally in the department
of Santiago, will be the first Cuban regi-
ment to return to the United States and
that the Eighth infantry, stationed in
the same department, will follow soon
after. The return Of these troops to the
United States will enable the war de-
partment to carry out it's plan of sending
regular troops from this country to the
Philippines to take the places of the vol
unteer army, which must be brought
home and discharged by June 80, 1901.
Unless developments in China necessi-
tate change of programme the home
ward movement of the volunteer troops
from the Philippines will begin in the
early fall, and about 5000 or 10000 regu.
lar troops will be sent out gradually from
this country to take their place.

Higginson, the best man in the shell,
languished in cot on the porch at Red
Top suffering from a badly broken leg,
as a result of an accident sustained by
him while playing ball.
1t has been found that the fibular bone,
the second small bone from the heel on
the inside, is cleanly broken, and the
oarsman is out of the boat permanently.
Higginson slept poorly and talked much
about the accident. He refused to give
way to his feelings, however, in order
that he might not contribute to the de-
moralization of the crew.

sympathy From Yale.
The following telegram has been sent
from New Haven by the graduates Of
Yale university to the Harvard crew:
"At the request of representatives Of
reunion classes now gathering in New
Haven and other graduates the under
signed send to you and your crew the
sincere regret of the alumni of Yale over
the accident to Captain Higeinson."
The principal topic of discussion at
Yale's quarters here is the unfortunate
accident to Captain Higginson, and on
every side are heard keen expressions of
sympathy both for Captain Higginson
and the Harvard crew.
The weather was extremely warm, and
the light Monday morning practice was
reduced to Il minimum. All three of
Yale's crews were on the river for Il
short time, but the practice in every case
was very light. They went up the river
in short stretches, the varsity first, fol
lowed by the four oar and freshman
crews. The men were coached on indi-
vidual work. They remained out less
than half an hour.
The Harvard freshmen were the first
ON the water. just before they went out
it was announced that Captain Roberts
will stroke the crew from now on. They
rowed up the river to Yule's quarters
and We're given lecture by Coach Good
rich. They have been rowing poorly of
late, but showed improvement.
The Harvard varsity eight then left
their float, followed in the launch by
Coaches Storrow and Goodrich. They
rowed in one stretch up the river for
mile. Mr.. Storrow watched the men on
this row. The she'll travelled only fairly
and plainly showed the loss of Higgin-
son. Bullard seemed to fit we'll in his
new position, but his ability to last for
four miles apparently troubled the coach
