MILLIONS FACE STARVATION.
Russian Leader Tells Awful Tale OF
His Peoples Condition.

New York.-Alexis Aladdin, leader
of the Peasant party in Russia, ar
rived here Friday. Aladdin said that
he would not be surprised If the new
douma is never organized.
ut is now too late to stay the prog
ress of liberty in Russia" he said.
The liberal sentiment is so general
that 1t will come to the front in spite
of all the government opposition.
THE conditions in Russia have not
improved during the last year. Thirty
millions of people in Russia are 'oday
practically upon the point OF starva-
ton, and during March, April and May
1t is likely that a million people will
die. 1t is my desire to appeal to the
American people to help my distressed
country but whatever money may be
raised here, don't want 1t to fall into
the hands of the Russian government
officials. The American relief commit
tees should have their own representa-
tives in Russia to distribute the funds
"If the Russian government does
not grant constitutional form OF gov
eminent, the greatest strike in the his
tory of the world will follow. 1t VIII
be greater strike than that of 1900.

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen Of Holland Has Agreed to Rec
ognize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa-
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec.
orations Of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count, it was necessary
to obtain confirmation of title This
gave much perplexity to the candi,
dates.
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
an increase in the price of these pom
tifical favors.
In the last few weeks the French
Knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, OF Gregory
the Great, Of Plus TX. have greatly in.
creased.

New York.-Eighteen passengers
were killed outright, four others have
since died of their injuries, and at
least fifty more were more or less
seriously injured in the wreck of the
White Plains and Brewster express on
the Harlem division of the New York
Central & Hudson River railroad near
Woodlawn road, in the Bronx borough
of Greater New York, Saturday night.
At Woodlawn road the four tracks
run through a rocky cut and take a
sharp curve When the train reached
the curve 1t was running at a speed
estimated by some at sixty miles an
hour. Both motors and the smoking
car swung safely around the curve,
but the other cars left the rails and
plunging over on their sides with a
terrific crash, tore up the tracks for
a hundred yards before they collapsed.
or those instantly killed, by far the
greatest number were women. Many
we're mangled beyond recognition.
Many of the injured were quickly ex-
treated from the wreckage, while
others were so pinioned that they
could not be taken out for some time.
The cause of the wreck has not been
officially determined. At the Grand
Central station there Is inclination to
blame the accident to spreading rails,
but later 1t was said that it was be,
lieved that the axle of the first pas
senger coach broke.

How many persons dread to eat their

Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to

But we get In hurry, swallow our

becomes unnatural and perverted.

Fire Record for Last Year.

The fact that when a servant be-
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by a summing up
OF these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than $500, 00O,O 900 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur.
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, In bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake In
San Francisco. this loss was in great
excess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $780,
100000 a year.
