According to a report received at the
State Department from United States
Consul William T. Fee at Bombay, the
famine in India is the worst ever known
in the history Of that country. He says:
1.-THE season of acute distress was hardly
commenced. The official estimate places
the number of persons receiving Govern
ment relief at 100000 at daily ex-
penditure of $S4,OOO." The consul pre-
diets that before India is able to furnish
it's own supplies several million people
will have died of starvation and disease.

The officials of the Department Of Ag-
riculture are considerably annoyed by the
continual temperance Of a fake story
about millions of dollars that are being
made in skunk farming in different parts
of the country. The published article as
sumes to have been written upon infor-
nation gathered at the department, and
people in every part of the country are
writing daily for detailed information.
Secretary Wilson and all of his s1bordi-
mates repudiate the story

While the national House of Repre-
sentatives was all a-murmur with gen.
eral conversation one day last week,
ais gavel ans said sternly: "The chair
will please preserve order" The House
roared, the Speaker looked sheepish, and
after minute or two the member who
had the floor proceeded with his remarks
undisturbed.
Last week Secretary Wilson sent TWEEN
ty barrels Of sweet potatoes to the agent
of the Agricultural Department in Lon
don, with instructions to see how the
Englishmen like that kind of a tuber.
These are said to be the first sweet po'
tatoes shipped across the Atlantic, and
the result will be watched with interest.
Mr.. Cortelyou, who has been appointed
secretary to the President, has been per-
forming the duties of that Office for sew

Mr.. Porter. In fact, it has been nearly

assume the responsibilities attached to
his position.

Sir Redyers Butler and Sir Charles War

Warren, who commanded the whole force,
Lord Roberts points out that Gen. War

was impracticable, and, therefore, so
changed the plan of advance as to neces-

Foreign Ira de Gains.

Total exports of American products
and manufactures in March, as shown by
the figures of the treasury bureau OF sta
tistics were $134, 313,34S, against $lO4,-
55a. $3.50 in March of last year, $1o,oI4,
1876 in March, 1896, and $66,5l6,54l In
March. 1893. Thus last months exports
were more than double those of March,
1898 and % per cent greater than those
of March of last year, and larger tnan
those Of any preceding March III our MS
tory.
The total exports in the nine months
ending with March, 1900, were Sl,oo5,-

GA ~ me same month of 1856, having
thus doubled in fifteen years and increas-
cd 53 per cent since 1893.
Exports of agricultural products are
obout the same as last year, the notaDie
increase of more than 100 million dollars
in the nine months in question being large
lv in manufactures. 1t is apparent tnat
the total exports of the fiscal year I9oo
will exceed those of any preceding year
in orr history. Imports also show marx
cd increase over last year, the prlncipal
ae;n he;np in manufacturers materials,
While manufactured articles for use in the
mechanic arts also show an increase.
Thus the return to protectise ss'en'

C1eveland,s Lecture.


Mr.. Cleveland is eminently fitted to
instruct Princeton students how to cut
loose from the Senates apron strings
Nashville American.
Mr.. Cleveland had Congress on his
hands at times when he was President.
In his lecture at Princeton he had Con-
gress on his Misunderstanding Chronicle.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland in the
first of his two Princeton lectures on
the independence of the Executive took
ground which hardly conforms to Ad-
miral DeWey's idea that a President has
nothing to do but execute the laws OF
Congress. -Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
It was a thoughtful exposition of the
place of the Chief Magistrate in our
scheme of government, and while proba-
bly, finding no part Of its inspiration IN
a recent puerile estimate of the duties
and responsibilities Of that high office,
came almost as a rebuke of that eXtraor-
binary utterance- York Mail and
Express.
That a Democrat of so great ability as
Mr.. Cleveland should publicly advocate
a change in the method Of electing Pres
ident which would ignore entirely the
State lines and make him the choice OF
the majority of the voters, regardless OF
the choice Of the States, indicates how
far the national idea has progressed and
how far the idea of federation OF SOW
ereign States has been forgotten.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.
The presidency, to reach the level of
it's highest usefulness, must be strong
and independent within the limitations
which the constitution prescribes in con-
nection with the office. THE lndepen-
dence of the Executive" was illustrated
in a most interesting and conspicuous
manner by Grover Cleveland for eight
years. There is no man better quallhed
than he to discuss that instructive topic.

position commissioners to Chicago to get
pointers on how to do things in time
Syracuse Post-Standard.
The Paris exposition is not quite ready,
but Paris is ready. The people of France
are always ready for the dollar OF the
unwary traveler-Spring6eld News.
Paris is now engaged in giving st.
louis good illustration of the condition
in which big exposition. should not be
when it is opened.-St Louis Republic.
The American exhibit at the Paris ex-
position will be closed Sundays, but the
rest of the show will be kept open for the
benefit of American visitors.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Paris is merry place, but during the
approaching summer it will be merrier for
Landlords than for their guests. There
will be consolation for the people obliged
to stay away.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The American exhibit. if those in charge
will but give us fair show, will still
further open the worlds markets to our
products and help along the industrial
boom we are now enjoying GRAND Rap

The fact that the share of the United
States in the Paris exposition is greater
than that of any other country except
France appeals to the pride of Americans
and may be expected to prove Of no small
benefit to our commercial interests

Col. Ball and Washington were cousins,
both being grandchildren of Ball, and
thus it is that the old man who kept the

"Theres Il rather funny cIrcum-
stance connected with the elopement
here last week." remarked the To-
quacous landlord of the tavern in a
remote Sussex village, says an English
paper, addressing a cyclist who had
stopped for refreshment.
"A young man who hadn't known
her so very long ran away with the
sQuire's daughter, and a day or two
later the old gentleman sent this mes
sage by letter to his new son-n-law:
"'All is forgiven. Come home

with the men of money. The trusts and
monopolies have their greatest men IN
the churches. The ministers as class
are their slaves. What we need is a

rights of the common people,
Carlson had evidently forgotten all
about the three minute rule and was
launching himself into a regular ora
ton that meant, in his usual surround
ings, before his usual audience an hour
at least, when the man just behind him
pulled him down unceremonlously and
rose. Carlson was angry at first and
threatened little disturbance, but the
bishop reminded him of the rule, and
he subsidized with several mutterings
in his beard while the next speaker be-
gan with a very strong eulOgy on the
value of the single tax as genuine
remedy for all the social ills. He was
followed by a man who made bitter
attack on the churches and ministers
and declared that the two great obsta-
cles in the way of all true reform were
the courts and the ecclesiastical ma
chimes
When he sat down, a man who bore
every mark Of being a street laborer
sprang to his feet and poured out per-
feet torrent of abuse against the corpor
ations, especially the railroads The
minute his time was up big, brawny
fellow who said he was a metal worker
by trade claimed the floor and declared
that the remedy for the social wrongs
was trades unionism. This he said,
would bring ON the millennium for la
Dor more than anything else The next
man endeavored to give some reasons
why so many persons were out of en-
ployment and condemned inventions as
the works of the devil He was loudly
applauded by the rest of the company.
Finally the bishop called time on the
''free for all and asked Rachel to sing.
Rachel Winslow had grown into a
very strong, healthful, humble Chris
tan during that wonderful year in
dating from the Sunday
when she first took the pledge to do as
jesus would do, and her great talent Of
song had been fully consecrated to the
service of her Master When she began
to sing tonight at this settlement meet
ing, she had never prayed more deeply
for results to come from her voice-the
voice which she now regarded as the
Masters, to be used for him.
Certainly her prayer was being an
swered as she sang, She had chosen the
words.

to the criticism of not indicating the char
acter of its contents. A subtitle supplies
the deficiency by adding Poems of Com
fort and Hope" 1t is collection of poems
of a serious, religious. semi-religious. ie-
votional and consolatory character, from
a large number of authors, American and
foreign, living and dead. The collection
includes a number of celebrated hymns
and many poems by noted authors, which,
though familiar to many persons, are not
easily located. The contents are arranged
in thirteen sections, each prefaced by
short quotation. the sentiment of which
gives the keynote of the poems of that
division. Thus the themes OF different Sec
tions are bereavement, comfort, submits
sion, prayer. resignation, etc. Almost every
American poet Of note is represented, be-
sides many of other countries. James
whitcomb Riley is represented by kissing
the Rod" Away" Mabel" "Bereaved"
and .Das Krist Kindel." The work of
compiling and arranging has been done
with admirable judgment and intelligence
by Miss Anna f. Mack, and the volume
is issued in attractive form by Lee &
