AMUSEME ENTS.

A crowded house, splendid play pre- scented by the best company of the season at East Lake, contributes to make alto gether a delightful evening" The soubrette part was effectively played by the young and pretty Pauline Seymour; opposite her part was the leading comedy part, most cleverly and even hilariously portrayed by MT. Frank G. Hall. These two young art ists certainly took the house by storm. The heavy role was tastefully, but prop erly played by MT, Adams. and the leading juvenile by Edwards Davis, who looked the part of the heroic lover and acted with superb finesse.

CHINESE INTENDED
 1tf TO GIVE BATTLE
 --=v#f But Their Courage Gave Way and They Fled. CONCEN TRATED AT CHE SIN The Eyes of the World Have Now Turn edFrom Pekin to Shanghai Where Embroglio Exists From
 Jealousy.
CONCEN TRATED AT CHE SIN

London, August 19.-Whatever of inter- in the nights dispatches is destroyed by the capture of Pekin, as most of the mes sages relate to matters preceding and leading up to the capture of the Chinese capital. General Linevitch, commander of the Russian troops in Pechi Li reports to St. Petersburg that on August 12 the Chi nese intended to give battle at She Sin, where were concentrated fifty battalions of the best Manchu troops commanded by General Lung Fun Slang, but that losing courage, they retreated hurriedly, not waiting for attack to be made.
 The eyes of the world, which have been fixed hitheto on Pekin are turning to Shanghai, where imbroglio resulting from the jealousy and suspicion of the powers will possibly shortly assume a seri- ous aspect. The British landed Guerkas and Bambay regiments on Friday and France hurrying 1,700O Tonkin troops thith- CT, some of whom are reported to have ar rived already.
 The situation in the valley of the Yang Tse Kiang at Wu Chang is serious. Chang Chi Tung's troops mutinied, but the out break was quelled.
 Russias campaign in Manchuria seems to be progressing satisfactorily. General Orloff Chief of staff of the Russian forces in China, reports on August II that he at tackled the Chinese at Medue Chef on Au- gust F, and subsequently advanced to Yak Shi and captured an abundance of stores. The Chinese are said to be gathering in force in the neighborhod of Kobdo from which place the Russians and Tartar resi- dents have departed.
 Berlin dispatch, dated this '(Sunday) morning, says the German marine bat talions arrived at Tien Tsin on Thursday.

Phil and Nettie Peters

That jolly Phil Peters and vivacious Net tie have lost none of their old time draw ing qualities was evinced during the past week, when in the face of the strongest sort of opposition they succeeded in crowd ing their pavilion, corner Seventeenth street and Avenue A, to it's utmost ca- pacty at each performance These clever artists have established for themselves a reputation in Birmingham for clean, clever, conscientious work that will always insure them hearty welcome and substantial pat ronage. The comedies presented by this clever organization are far above the aver age seen at popular prices, and the per formances during the past week were high ly enjoyed by d large portion of our rep resentative citizens. There is an air of cleanliness pervading the whole place that reflects credit upon the management, and nothing is left undone that will add to the pleasure and comfort of patrons. The com pany will remain here but three nights longer, Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday, with a special matinee on Wednesday. Those who have not as yet paid visit to the Peters Pavilion Theater should do so at once Popular prices prevail, 10c, 20c and BOG. There will be a change of bill nightly.

An Appeal for India.

The undersigned resident pastors
and preachers, of Mt. Sterling, having
had under consideration the famish-
ing condition of the people Of India,
submit the following statement to the
people St large, and earnestly request
them to contribute to help relieve sut-
fering and save life.
Those who are willing to respond
to this call are requested to deposit
the amount of their contributions
with tue Cashiers of the banks where
they DO business.
We find from reports, that come
from sources OF unquestionsble relis-
bility, that India is suffering the raw
ages OF the greatest famine of the
Century. Owing to scarcity of rain
fall for several years and no rain this
yesr, no crop was harvested, and IN a
section nearly one-third as large as TIE
United States, fifty millions are starv-
ing, and nsny of these actually at
deaths door,"
The reports of this famine are so
appalling, 1t is impossible within our
limited space, to describe its horrors.
All food, except that which is beng
provided by the Government or
through private charity, has been con-
sumed. The domestic animals are
all dead, and unnumbered thousands
are seeking the relief stations or roam
ing over the fields and highways VAIN
ly seeking food.
As to the relief being offered, the
Government is employing five millions
at two cents a day-bsrely enough to
sustain life-but the remainder must
be sustained by private charity.
ENGLAND is doing nobly, but is not
equal to the occasion" and from many
sections of the United States, liberal
donations of food and money are be-
ing made.
1t is a notable fact that the only
help being given is by Christisnized
Nations. The heartrending cries of
starving men, women and children do
not awaken helpful sympathy in the
heather mind.
Hitherto the American people have
responded nobly to famine stricken
nations and communities, as her rec
ord in relation to Ireland, Russia, Ar
menia, Cuba, Porto Rico and India
herself bear witness.
Now while India is afflicted by the
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1900-05-22

greatest famine ever witnessed. is our
opportunity to sustain the prestige sc-
qu:red by the generous deeds OF the
sst and show our gratitude to be-
ncficent providence, for Keeping u
from famine and adding luxury to
things necessary.
We should cherish a grateful sp.
probation of the fact, that hunger
without the means to satisfy its crsv-
ings. is practically unknown to MS.
The following facts should give our
sympsthies practical turn.
One dollar will save life FOR two
months"
Two dollars will save 3 life until
the harvest"
give dollars will save a man, wife
and child unlil the next crop is gath
cred"
"ren dollars will save a whole fam
lily from death
''Twenty dollars will save ten lives
tor four months.
"Fifty dollars would save five fsmi-
lies"
zone hundred dollars would save q
small community"
To the general public we would APP
peal in the name OF common human
ity, and to professed Christians in the
name Of our divine Lord and the an
thoritv of his word. TO bear some part
in rescuing the famishing millions oI
India.
