Rev. Charles M. Sheldon's Suggestion
For India Famine Fund.

Rev Charles NJ Sheldon called on
Governor Stanley yesterday afternoon
and suggested that the balance of the
India famine fund, which Governor
Stanley and Secretary Coburn did not
succeed in giving to the Paterson fire
sufferers, be devoted to the aid and
support of children in India whose
parents died during the great famine.
There is still great suffering among
this class in India and the use of the
balance of the money, as Mr.. Sheldon
suggests, would be along the line for
which it was originally given.
Mr.. Sheldon says he has received
word that the corn contributed by the
people of Kansas for the relief of
famine sufferers was all used for that
purpose and that it was instrumental in
saving many lives and relieving a great
amount of suffering
