INDIA-FAMINE SUFFERERS.

"One touch of Nature makes the
world kim" "The Committee of One
Hundred on India Famine Relief" To-
Gated in New York, have been making
strenuous efforts on behalf of the
plague stricken, famine-haunted peo-
pie of "India's coral strands" They
have been furnishing plate-matter free
to the newspapers that the public
might be fully Informed and inspired
to aid the sufferers, and in many ways
have been exerting themselves for
their benefit. Now that the appalling
woe at Galveston is so preoccupying
public interest and arousing public
sympathy, The Committee of One
Hundred take note of the fact; and
while still soliciting aid for the people
of Indis, whose harvest is yet month
off, they will not continue so aggressive
"a campaign as was mapped out. Mean

SOMETHING NEW.

4 unique religious enterprise has
been established at Coney Island, N.
Y, long place of pleasure and sink
of depravity as well. In the very
midst of the worst carousals rises a
tower, sixty five feet high, upon the
top of which is a box-shaped cabinet
with sides of ground glass, upon which
are painted in startling colors the
words "Jesus saves" At the top OF
the tower is tall flagstaff from which
floats a long streamer bearing the
same inscription. An electrical ap-
paratus furnishes light SO strong that
the legend can be read from passing
steamers at least two miles, and some,
times three miles out at sea. In addi-
ton to this lighthouse, negotiations
are now in progress for an instrument
that will throw letters of fire upon the
clouds at night and thus bring the
word of God and the promises of reli
gion constantly to the attention OF
habitues of the most hilarious resort
in the United States At the foot OF
the tower is yellow building fitted
up as resort for tired people, women
and children, who come down to Co
ney Island from the city to spend the
day. They are furnished free ice wa,
ter and milk. There are tables upon
which they may spread their lunches
and cool shelter to which everybody
who desires can escape. from the hot
sun and the confusion outside and
find a quiet, comfortable place to rest
The chapel is open every afternoon
and evening, and the seats are usually
well filled, the chapel and the tower
being always strong rivals of the mer-
ry-go-round, dancing pavilions, sa-
looms and resorts of the island. The
place is due to the personal enterprise
of William d. Hughes, an ex-convict,
man of education and culture, who
is devoting his life to mission work.

nation as to Lauderdale, or rather,
Meridian district. Both of these ar
ticles we're predicsted upon the talk
and reports of excessive and discrimi-
mating prices paid. Commenting up
on the action Of the Meridian school
superintendent, In giving out the pre-
liminary lists for publication we said:
The Herald commends the course
pursued by the Lauderdale trustees
of taking the public in their conf
dence. Their plan is commended to
others. III adopted here, the Herald
will willingly and freely publish their
proceedings likewise; preliminary
publication of selections open to dis
cussion and exception before final and
legal closing of a contract.
The plan commended was not
adopted here" but it was in Brookha-
ven; which gave us enough material
for comparison that attracted the at
tention of the attorney general and
the state superintendent to an appar-
ent and gross injustice to some coun-
ties and towns. And we urge upon
our state exchanges the publication
of their local school selections as soon
as made, to further the plan offered
by Superintendent Whitfield.
There is every reason to believe that
our school children are made to pay
exorbitant prices for school books.
Nothing but big profits can account
for the costly lobbying against chang
es in the existing laws. Lawyers are
employed by the various companies
in every county, to urge their respect
i've claims before the committees and
patrons, and other OUTLAWS are freely
talked of. IL the state press will ex-
ercise due diligence and fidelity in
turning the light on the contracts, or
failure to make and file contracts as
has been the case here, they will do
public aervice of no small magni-
tude. The question is vital one from
now until the first Monday in October,
when the selections are to be made.
Until then The Herald will be glad
to publish comments from our contem-
poraries, or communications touching
it..-Vicksburg Herald.
