Top Coats Strictly Up to-Date,

You cant get away om the gray, the popular shade of the day; and the top coats we sell you will see quite swell, hecause they are built that way-in the gray.
 Oxf,rd and Cambridge mixtures lead the top coats. Two styles to shape-the long, loose coat with cuffs and sleeves, velvet collar and silk lined to edge; the regular length, close-fttipg, silk lined to button h le.
 Choose either style, at $1O, 12 50, 13 50, 15.00, IS 50 and 20 %.
 Among short coats the Bradford is distinctly ''it.'' Made in covert velvet collar, very short and very generous in the back silk lined and what you would call, for lack of better name stylish coat, S15 and $16 50.
 If$1O is all you want to spend on top coat here is an sll-round $12 coat for that money regular shape, for stout tall and regular men. An al-wOol covert coat for 98, too.

The viceroy recently declared that con-
ditions are steadily growing worse.
The plague is spreading alarmingly
and another drought lis therstened.
He onnounces shis intention, to, spend
all the money in the treasury for the
relief Of the sufferers. Outside con-
tributions have been made, but avail
able funds are Inadequate to meet de-
J mands. - ..-,,,,s. .t.s.,. ma,
A full-grpwn man at the relief works
may only receive four cents per day.
However, five cents daily will keep .
Hindoo alive Indefinitely, for, in his
land, the supporting Of life on mini.
mum of cheapest foodha beenreduced
to an art. A few grains sof-Eice. sup
plemented with roots and grass seed,
will. furnish him a fair meal. When
the garrison of the British fort at the
siege of Lucknow. were reduced to
daily rations Of four ounces Of corn
made into cruel, some of the Hindoo
auxiliaries offered to live for a week
on the water in which the corn was
boiled. If the whole civilized world
would unite in the work Of assisting
people who are satisfied with so little
the worst features of this famine. the
details of which are, too horrible to de-
scribe or read. would be alleviated.
To their abstemiousness, the Eng.
lish are largely indebted for the loyal-l
ty Of the native soldiers. Eath man,
knows that when his time of usefulness
has expired the government sguaran.
tee-of pension sufficient to purchase
. yearly suit of white cotton, and rice
for his daily meals, is assurance Of a
sufficient provision for his old age.
The religion Of the country prohibits
the use of animal food. As available
funds Of the relief committee are only.
sufficient to reach about is per cent.
of the, sufferers it is feared that wan.
dering groups may resolve themselves
into armies of bandits who, having
disposed of their homes through want,
will for years constitnte.a a menace to-
the safety of the more, fortunate in
habitants of India. Crowds. of dis
tressed human beings are daily stream.
ing into the cities, and even in Bonn
bay people without means Of obtain.
ing food starve IN the streets. Famine
prices prevail. Owing to financial de.
preston mills are closed down and
Ia many eases the wages of those still
have been reduced What
sufaced perhaps for mere existence in.
prosperous times means now. slow
