STARVING INDIA.
An Appeal from the Relief Commit
tee of Boston.

Boston, June l4.-Thc Boston Com.
mittcc of one Hundred which was
recently organized to furnish immed-
late relief for the starving in India, is
glad to report $1,000 already rccciv-
ed, and has organized and taken
steps for an immediate and energetic
campaign. 1t places it's literature
for distribution, collecting cards. and
all its facilities for receiving and
and transmitting funds, freely at the
service of the people of New Eng
land. 1t crncstly hopes that, with
out delay, active measures will be
taken by ali interested in the cause,
to institute local relief movements,
such as citizens mass meetings, un-
ion meetings in the churches and
personal efforts of every kind. Gov
ernor Frank w. Rollins of New
Hampshire is Vice Chairman of the
committee, and greatly interested in
the prosecution of this work.
The following statement regarding
the situation is made:
Famine, from lack of rain, is now
shifting sixty million of our fellow
beings. AT this moment death
threatens one-siXth of that number.
Thousands are perishing each twcn-
ty-four hours, and the woe has not
vet reached it's worst. Face to face
with even such horrors still stand
countless little children, and women,
and men, whom food would save.
Thank God our relief may almost in
stantly reach them by cable.
What then, shall we do? What
will vou do: Throughout the fam
inc districts are relief agencies, eili-
cicnt. trustworthy, economical
Hundreds of American missionaries
of all denominations our own ncrol(
fellow citiXcns-arc facing suffering
and risk in this work of pure philan
thropy. They need larger supplies
Surely such supplies can be provided
and vet the customary gifts 10 IONS
esta ablislcd agencies for the uplifting
of the people of India not be at al
leSsened.
Meanwhile. the Government o
India has organized relief on Scai'
unapproachcd in the history OF th
world. The number Of sufferers OH
: cja]lv aided is not less than SIX mill
) ions. Even that aid is wholly insli
tcicnt for the awful need. In
death rate is by far the grcstcsI IN IN

A Big FIRE.
An Early Morning Blaze in a Bad
Place.

ElaCe.
About five minutes after one CLOCK
this morning an alarm of fire was
rung in from box 81.
The iremen got to the locality
where the box is situated in their
usual fast time. The reflection show
ed the fire to be on Maple Grove, in
the last house on the street occupied
by Alexander Young and family and
owned by Harvey Hersey.
by the time the tiremen reached
the house one side of it was mass OF
flames. 1t was 20 minutes after the
alarm was rung in on account of the
distance from the nearest hydrant.
This was located at the corner OF
Cliff and East streets and required
1000 feet of hose in each st. This
allowed only two streams and until
the East Barre water was turned on
the pressure was very poor.
The fire started in the kitchen of
the tenement next to the Young S
which has been vacent since Monday.
Those who got there first say that if
water could have been thrown on i'm
mcditaly that very little damage
| uould bnvn bnnp 6opO
The house is owned by Mayor Har-
vey Jersey the loss being total with
insurance of s., 200 in the Continental
Insurance Co. to cover same.
1t was 2.3O before the fire was got
under control leaving only the shell OF
the double tenement standing.
Mr. Young will lose everything al
there was no chance to save any o.
the household goods at all. AS soor
as he discovered the fire he savet
his wife and children and then left II
ring IN the alarm.
Going us fast as he possibly could i
took him five minutes from his hOllS
to the corner of Park and Avcrll
streets where the nearest box is sit
lated.
In the meantime Mrs. Young hat
become hysterical and was standin
in front of her burning reSidcnc
screaming for help. Her screams wer
so loud that they could be heard ava
over on Washington street. Her CT
was "Save my money and clothes.
When sufficient help came, frienc
took her to Mayor 1lerscys hous
across the lot.

Raise Turkeys.

For the past two three years grass
hoppers have done much damage in this
county Young orchards have been
badly hurt by destruction of the leaves
Alfalfa fields have suffered and other
vege tation likewise. The remedy is very
simple. Raise turkeys. One hundred
turkeys will keep quarter section free
from grasshoppers. This is S-haek-
mans dream-7' The writer's place was
overrun with hoppers and about three
wee ks ago turned two turkeys loose
on it. Now it is hard to find a single
hopper on the place. Their depeda tions
have ceased entirely They have all they
can do to escape with their lives. The
turkeys require no grain, will not toneh
corn while the grasshopper season lasts
and two or three years of turkey raising
will rid any farm of the pests. A hun
dred turkeys can be carried through the
summer for nothing and a little grain in
the fall fits them for market The only
alfalfa raiser along the bottom that we
know of who has show for seed has
a large flock of turkeys. Every one else
is complaining that there will be seed
this year because the hoppers have eaten
the bloom. Everywhere that turkeys
have been tried the story is the same,
lloppers. .-kinsley Mercury

Extracts from President McKInley,s
Letter of Aeceptance.

The stability of our national cur
rency is therefor secure SO long as
those who adhere to this platform are
kept in control of the government.
VIII the American people, through
indifference or fancied security,
hazard the overthrow Of the wise
financial legislation of the past year?
Four years ago the people refused
TO place the seal of their approval
upon these dangerous and revolution
airy policies, and this year they Will
not fail to record again their earnest
dissent.
The time honored principles of
protection and reciprocity We're the
finest pledges of Republican victory
to be written into public law.
Five years ago we we're selling
government bonds bearing as high as
3 Fer cent interest Now we are re
deeaing them with a bond at par
bearing 2 per cent interest.
Combinations of capital which
control the market in commodities
necessary to the general use of the
people by suppressing natural and
ordinary competion, thus enhancing
prices to the general consumer, are
obnoxious to the common law and
the public welfare.
Combinations intended to restrict
business, create monopolies and con-
IfOl prices should De 6uSctIyely re
strained.
For labor a short day is better than
a short dollar; one will Tighten the
burdens; the other lessons the re-
wards of toll.
1t will be seen that the power of
the government has been used for the
liberty, the peace and the prosperity
if the Philippine peoples, and that
force has been employed only against
force, which stood in the way of the
realization of these ends.
With all the exaggerated phrase
making of this election contest, we
are IN danger of being diverted from
the real contention.
The American people will not make
the murderers of our soldiers the
agents of the republic to convey the
blessings of liberty and order to the
Philippines
The Republican party doesnot have
to assert it's devotion to the Dec1ara-
ton of Independence.
IF our opponents would only prac-
tice what they preach the doctrine of
Abraham Lincoln, there would be no
fear for the safety of our institutions
at home or their rightful influence in
any territory over which our flag
floats.
The American question is between
duty and desertion-the American
verdict viii be for duty and against
desertion, for the republic kgainst
both anarchy and imperialism.
