Disease Complicating the Difficulty

a cablegram was received the other
day from DR.. Klopsch of New York.
who has just completed tour of the
famine districts in the Bombay Presi-
dency, India. He reports pitiful con-
dition of affairs, says the New York
Sun. He found the famine camps
stampeded by cholera and smallpox
fugitives, who had come from distant
points of infection and are now scat
tering these diseases il all directions.
Many are dying in the fields and
bitches and along the roadside.
At Godhra, about 500 miles north
of Bombay, in Gujarat district, there
were 5000 deaths from cholera in four
days. DR.. Klopsch saw While there
16 bodies incinerated, this method Of
disposing of the dead being general
throughout the famine district. AT
Donad, 80 miles east of Godhra, he
found a similar frightful condition OF
affairs, there having been $500 deaths
from cholera. The air of the place
vas sitting, and the water was also
impregnated with poison from the I'M
utdu. III luc AOSpllaiS
death rate was 80 per cent.
At Ahmedabad. about so miles west
of Godhra, terrible mortality prevail
ed among the cattle, rendering them
wholly unfit for food. In the poor
house at Ahmedabad the death rate
was 10 per cent daily. The occupant
of every fourth cot was already dead.
The thermometer marked 115 degrees
in the shade. DR.. Klopsch declares
true the stories of bodies being de-
voured by vultures, dogs and jackals.
The Indian government is doing its
best to fight back the ravages of fam
inc and disease. The native officials,
however, are heartlessly Indifferent.
and the present condition of n large
part of India is worse than at any time
during the century. There are Sec
lions in which whole families have
been blotted out. The spirit of the
people is broken by suffering, but 1t is
to be feared that the worst is yet to
come, when the monsoon breaks and
the torrential rains flood the RELIEF
camps and large part of the famine
area, spreading disease, cholera es-
pecially.
The interdenominational missionary
committee is now engaged in the dis
tribution of relief funds, the 100000
lately handed to it from The Christian
Herald fund having given a great i'm
petus to the work. The government,
press and people of India are profound
ly appreciativc of the assistance rem
dered by the people of the United
States.

NEW BIBLE FOR WOMEN.
Omaha Author Planning to Bring
Out a Remarkable Publication.

Abraham G.. Dixon, an old bookworm
of Omaha. is writing n revised version
of the Bible. With his great volumes
of history and ancient manuscript he
is now at work writing what he terms
a wOman's Bible. In this work, which
he has almost completed, the author
places woman on an equal footing with
man. In speaking of his new Bible
Mr.. Dixon said:
What the so called civilized nations
need is a woman's Bible, one that rep
resents her as she IS in the eyes Of
God and not as the insignificant serf,
not as the secondary element of hu-
manity, she is pictured to be by the
orthodox creed
Mr.. Dixon's forefathers came to the
United States in 1851 and settled in
Pennsylvania under William Penn.
The manuscript of which Mr.. Dixon
is the poSSessor, he asserts, was hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton, and il has been carefully guarded
for centuries In his possession is a
very old character manuscript which
is said to be the original of the sixth
and seventh books of Moses.

at her home in Park lane, although there
was quite a mastering of the clan, Lord
Shrewsbury was not considered respectable
enough to be invited. He did attend the
recent wedding of the Londonderry heir,
and his wife. the present Lady Shrewsbury,
was not even present at the church, her
position In polite society being far from
acceptable. The ceremony at St. Peters,
Eaton Square, was performed by the bish-
op of Rochester, the cousin of Lady Lon
donderry. The guests at the wedding in
cluded the flower of England's nobility.
for it was the smartest wedding of the
season. Lord Castlereagh himself is a

Of no particular talent. The Stewards are
not noted for either the good looks or the

Under the administration of Lord Sails
bury the Marquis of Londonderry was from
1856 to 1889 lord lieutenant Of ireland. Al
though representing an Irish peerage, the
Londonderrys were not popular in Dub

once averted unpleasant complications.

for the beautiful woman who was as
brave as she was patrician.
Unlike many English women Of noble
birth, Lady Londonderry has always been
an admirer of the best class OF American
women. She Is a friend of the young
Duchess of Marlborough, who represents
the conservative ideas and the dignity
which she cons.ders inseparable from high

FAMOUS LONDON BEAUTY
TO VISIT AMERICA,

The most beautiful English woman
of the decade is coming to America
for visit. This is not any profess
sional beauty like Lily Langtry, who
would never have been heard of out
of little set had it not been for GER
tain social notoriety which she ach-
ieved. Neither is it the good and
lovely Princess of Wales, whose
charms, while notable, have profited
by their nearness to a throne. Nor is
it the flirtatious Princess of Pless,
whose youthful vivacity and the fact
of her being the daughter of a one
time famous beauty, gave her repu-
tation. Nor is the coming visitor Lady
Warwick, whose claim to beauty de-
ponds rather on her wit than on her
face and figure, which are only fairly
fine.
The visitor is none of these. but
Lady Theresa Susey Helen Stewart,
marchioness of Londonderry. She was
married twenty-four years ago, and
just the other day her son, the Wis.,
count Castlereagh, welded the niece
of the Duke of Sutherland. Her
daughter, Lady Helen Stewart, is a
belle of London society. Yet, though
the marchioness is past her youth, in
her splendid prime none of the young
beauties can compare with her. She
has a regal carriage, perfect face
and a figure that is a m-Gal in con-
tour. The daughter Of a hundred earls,
she is an ideal of the type which one
would expect in Lady Clara We're de
We're. The Londonderrys belong to an
Irish house, and Lady Londonderry's
own ancestors have been making his
tory since the time of William the
Norman. The earls of Shrewsbury,
who were her forbears, have been as
famous for their pride and talent as
for their splendid deeds. 1t is one OF
the boasts of the family that the men
