A Word to our Correspondents.

plication to our own large and
efficient cerps Of correspondents:
After our correspondents have
uqd time to realize that the new

possibilities the same as the old

Your work has been faithfully
done, and many people have found

such an indispensable part of the

reason in the world, we feel it a
duty we owe you to make the
Eagle as time goes on better and
more worthy to be your weekly

all for your patient labors and
friendship and sincerely hope that
our relations in the future will
continue as they are with an in
crease in all good feelings.

AWFUL FAMINE
~hat Is Now Making OF India One Vast
Charnel Pen.

That Is Now Making OF India One Vast
Charnel Pen.
The famine area in India is about
e50,000 square miles, and extends over
the central, south and northwestern
provinces. says Leslie's Weekly. NO
pen could describe its awful horrors.
Some OF the things proved by pho
tocrauhy are too realistically horrible
to be reproduced in any publication,
and we pint only few OF
the less frightful photographs
taken by the missionaries, because
many have not believed that such an
awful condition could exist in this CEN
tu1y OF plenty and prosperity. Ema-
ciated beyond belief, the starving ma
tives crawl to the house OF the nearest
sahib, usually missionary, to crave
food; but $4,000 mouths have to be fed.
Fifteen dollars year will feed HIN
du, yet even this pitiable allowance
is rot to be had. The causes OF the
famine are the failure Of the crops, the
refusal Of the native princes to allow
their hunting iungies to be converted
into fertile agricultural regions, and
the mysterious disappearance of spe-
cial famine fund OF s10O,0ooo0o, COL
lected by the government after the ia
mine OF 1877. The Hindu Is q strict
vegetarian. The low-caste Hindu is a
fatalist. So, when famine stalks abroad
the Hindu submits uncomplainingiy.
