THE LITERARY WORLD

When a reliable and popular paper
essays to do a thing It usually is sue
cessful, and more especially so If Il
appeals to the finer sensibilities and
sympathies of mankind. This has been
demonstrated once more and with great
force by the Christian Herald. OF which
the Rev T. Dewitt Talmage. ID. d..
is the editor. Some months ago the
Christian Herald told its readers that
millions Of the inhabitants Of India
were famine-stricken and in their name
1t appealed for help. Note the result
On Thursday the new British steam
ship Quito chartered by the United
States to take 100000 bushels Of corn TO
the famine sufferers. sailed from New
York for Bombay. Most Of the money
used to buy that corn was contributed
by the readers of the Christian Herald
and they represented every denOmina-
ton in the United States. In many
of the great Orn-growing states farm
ers formed clubs to forward the move
ment. 1t will be June 20 before the
corn reaches Bombay, and IL wi. re-
quire a week or two to get IL to the re-
lief depots in the Interior but mean
while other charitable people are feed
ing the unfOrtunates and doing every
thing possible TO keep the death rate
to a minimum. We congratulate the
Christian Herald on the success Of its
commendable enterprise.
We have received from the League
of American SpOrtsmen a copy OF the
proceedings Of its second annual meet
ing, including the report Of its presi-
dent and the text Of a speech ON How
to Save Our Birds and Mammals" by
John f. Lacey, M. G. This league is
but little more than two years old, but
In that brief time It has obtained a
membership of nearly 5000 and every
state and territory is embraced within
the scope of its work. In addition il
has nearly 100 members in Canada
What makes it all the more powerful
is that most of its members are mer
prominent in social, business and po-
litical life IL has accomplished more
In the way of protecting game anc
song and insectivorous birds than any
similar organization did in it's whole
life. The details of the report of tn,
president show how relentlessly tn,
league follows meat hunters and othei
yiolators of the game laws. Conviction
after conviction is set forth. and il
many states the league is feared mor'
by such violators of the law than arr
the duly accredited representatives o
the civil law. Every true sportsman
wishes the league unqualified success
in its good work
