ERROR Of DOCTORS
KILLS TEN MEN

MANILA. Dec. 3.-An investigation
made at Bilibib, where ten prisoners
who had been inoculated with cholera
serum recently died, has disclosed
traces of plague germs in the dead
bodies. No formal report on the re-
suit of the investigation has been made
and the Government has reached no
decision in the matter.
1t is asserted that the tubes contain

cholera serum, which are so much alike
that it is almost impossible to dis

the laboratory by a visitor who ex-

SEVEN PROVINCES
SUFFER FAMINE

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3.-Princess
LVoff and Orbelian /, the representa-
tives of the Moscow famine relief or
ganization, who have just returned
from the stricken district, have fur
nished the Associated Press with the
following facts regarding conditions in
the famine provinces:
The crops in seven provinces, Sa-
mara, Saratov, Simbirsk, Kazan, Penza,
Tambov and Ufa, were practically total
failures. In twenty provinces the har-
vests were very poor. About 20, 1000, 900
people will need assistance for from
four to ten months to stave off starva-
ton until the new crops are available.
In some regions the inhabitants have
been suffering from starvation for ten
years. possible crops having been gath
cred in only two of the ten years. The
Moscow Zemstov relief organization
calculates that $75,000.0 600, and possibly
more, will be necessary"
Though the conditions in the famine
regions are now distressing, far worse
may be expected in January.

What "Hamir" Meant.

Though the Scottish guard Of France
had long lost its natural character, it
jealousy retained until the crash Of
1850 all its curious old privileges,
which. though they led to constant
wrangles with other regiments, had
been duly allowed by Louis XIV. He
was actually obliged to intervene at
his own wedding to compose a dispute
as to the precedence of the Scots
guards and the Cent gentilshommes.
proud as Scotchman" was an old
proverb in France, and their successors
in the bodyguard did their best to JUS
tify it. But the most curious survival,
long after word Of Scotch had been
heard in the corps, was the practice of
answering 'hamir" "a corruption for II
am here') when the roll was called,
which was religlously maintained, at
all events, down to the revolution

thought that owing to the lateness of the
hour they had better wait until subse-

date the committee should be duly ad-

Louis & Wolfe of St. Paul offered to

On motion, the matter was referred to

The council, at meeting Tuesday
night, created three sewer districts as
follows: District one includes blocks I
to ID inclusive; district two, lots IS to %;
and district three, lots 20 to AZ. This
means that the present sewer districts of
the city comprise the territory between

ordered in at once that it may be com.
