INDIA AWFUL DISTRESS.
The Great Area In Which the

the Natives Suffer the Pangs Of
Hunger-Sufferer Numbered by the
Million.
The shaded portion of this map
shows the vast region in India in
which the prevailing famine Is most
severely felt. Some districts outside
this area are suffering to n less ex-
tent, but their position has not been
clearly indicated, as attention is cen
tired upon the regions where relief is
most lmperatively demanded. As a
rule, the famines which now and then
atilict India are most severely felt in
regions which in normal years have a
sufficient supply of rain, and those re-
glons that are always deficient In rain.
fall are more likely to escape famine
because they are supplied with irriga-
tion canals fed by streams coming
from the mountains and very often
have enough water in years of drought
to raise crops.
The famine-affected area, marked on
the map, includes about three hundred
and fifty thousand square miles, or
over tenth of the area of the United
States. 1t embraces the central prov
inces, the southeast and central Pun.
jab and Rajputana, and though none
of the most densely peopled regions is
embraced in this territory, its popula-
tlon is about thirty millions. The fam.
Inc Is due to the fact that throughout
last year there was scarcely any rain
in that part of India. Many thousands
of people began to suffer the pangs of
hunger in September last and there Is
now no possibility Of relieving the dis
tress by the growth of local crops till
year from that time.
Thirst also claims many victims, for
in some large districts drinking water
has almost entirely failed. Crops were
sown as usual, but after peeplng
through the ground the young blades
turned yellow and perished. Grain has
been imported from more fortunate
parts of the peninsula, but in Decem.

BADLY HURT.

Last Friday evening John
Wright who lives at Thomastown,
a mile and a half west of McCon.
nellsburg, was assisting Mr.. Ja-
cob Motter of Ayr township to
unload a binder from q wagon.

side of the machine when its
weight came upon him suddenly,
throwing him backward across
an obstruction, very seriously in
iuring his back. He has been ly-

dition since.

who form most of the population, had
no means to buy breadstuffs. The
deaths from starvation were few until
nearly the end of the year, but the
misery of the enfeebled people steadi-
ly increased and now they are diving
by thousands.
The appalling growth of the evil is
shown by the tremendous increase in
the number of persons employed on
relief works or to whom relief is ex-
tended. In the second week of Decem.
Der last the number was 1,03S.S42 in
the third week it was 1857 ,967. Lord
Curzon cabled to London few DAYS
ago that the number of persons now
ON these lists is 4,374,O00. AS many
persons as possible receive employ
ment on public works which are start.
ed in the stricken districts, the idea be
ing that it is best, as far as practlca.
ble to have works of public utility to
show for the immense sums that must
be disbursed to relieve distress.
or course there are hundreds of
thousands who must be cared for and
who can make no return. Since 1877
Government agencies have been estab.
lished for the application of speedy re.
lief, and though it seems impossible to
prevent an enormous death rate
where the lives of so many millions
are jeoparded, yet the evils of famine
have been greatly mitigated of late
years by the relief extended from
Government and private resources.
