fc1 ced to subsist on charity or die mis-
eratly during the summer and autumn.
While all u these statements cannot
b, verified, owing to the secrecy of the
inst rrectionary movement, there is
little doubt that India is facing a
gave crisis.
The recurrence of these terrible
famines is due to several causes.
mt-tly attributable to the influence of
tho British government Four fifths of
lie population are now entirely de-
pendent on capricious crops for their
substar &C. and although great irrigation
works have been carried out. the state
OF agriculture is still very unstable.
Each peasant cultivates little patch OF
land, which supplies the bare living for
himself an.l his family When the crop
fails they are faced with starvation
The British regime provides regular
employment for only fraction of the
natives. VIII le it has killed a great deal
OF the native industry. and has i'm
posed other conditions on the people
which work against the prosperity of
the natives. The taxes are high. and
the economic system imposed by the
British rule is unsuitcd to the condi-
tons Of M tive life.
Besides the millions of peasants who
are liable to starvation at thd slight
est failure OF the crops. there is an en-
orTlcus population of beggars and
voorhees, people whose condition Is en-
tirely hopeless during famine. Many
thousands of these are doomed to
lingering death from inanition.
The condition of the poor creatures
affected by the famine is pitiful be-
yond words. Those who are forced to
apply for government relief have been
already living for months on half or
Long experience has Injured them to
living on next to nothing. Many farhi-
lies have been living on daily handful
Of dried peas. occasionally varied by
wild fri, ana roots. or even less Real-
atatle QEcd.
3 The h.n;'ne being spread over vast
territory. thousands Of the natives are
miles from a government relief depot,
and Elany Of them die because thsy
cannot drag their wasted bodies to
the iepots. For every thousand pers 'ns
Who get relief. there must be as many
TO apply for it.

means of one or two buttons only. The

the loose flowing lines predominant,
and among general utility coats there
are many of picturesque type with a
suggestion of mantle or cape or per-
hapS a Thankfully draped sleeve.
One of the fancies of the season is
the MORE coat. though the taffeta $
and pongees are still holding their OWN.
Taffeta is used for everything in the
coat line from the dust coat to evening
wraps. and particular mention should
be mode of the serviceable little Coates
so popular this season and worn so fire.

just enough warmth for che cooler
evenings, and yet if occasion demands,
may be worn over a gown in the day
time.
There are two smart models. The
first is tight fitting to the waistline ana
snug in the front and back The sides
are nodded upon the same lines as the
tailor made gown. giving it little of
the look of a tailor made The second
coat is only half-fitting. it is fitted in
the back, but open and loose in the
front and hangs in graceful lines away
from the figure. The last type is the
more generally becoming and may be
worn by the tail and the stout woman.
Women hesitate to wear a Jacket
over handsome gown. but the lace
coats or wrops are filling just the need
II Is a fad among woman who can
afford it to have several lace coats, the
Indispensable black coat, a light or
white coat for evening wear and there
is fad just now for pale silk and lace
lingerie gowns. and the light yellows to
wear with yellow Powered stuffs that
win be in use so much this summer.
Brown laces are exceedingly smart.

LICENSE NOTICE
MTsTNTERPRETED BY LICENSE
 PAYERS OF THE CITY.
Applies OnIy to Liquor Dealers But Has Caused Great Worry
 Among Many
 Others.

Lines of worry have deeply chan neIied the faces of Montgomery people who are required to pay licenses to the city. The exciting cause Is the fol- lowing recently emanating from the ofice of the City Clerk: Any person. firm or corporation now engaged in business in this city, may. by paying the city clerk the sum of one-half the annual license now charged. and 50 cent fee have such license extended until December tssi, 1908. Whereas, among the general public the above document has been considered as q sort of your money or your 1ifs' prop ositIon. and has been taken as apply dng to, licenses of all kinds, 1t really has special significance only as applied to the whiskey article. And so 1t is desired to extend 10 other dealers who are required to have licenses. words Of comfort and hope for the end Ia yet to como and they may hold fast to the as- surance that the notice does not apply to all alike
 Before the prohibition bill was pass ed by the Legislature, an act was pass ed stating that January 1 should be the end of the license year. The idea em- bodied in the act was to prevent peo- ple from going into the liquor business for short period in which sales most flourished with the payment of only the pro rata portion Of the annual license. the sales of whiskey during certain seasons of tho year being much great CT than at other periods.
 When the prohibition bill was pass- ed. 1t was of course deereed that all liquor dealers should go out of busi- ness on the first of January. After oc- tober all licenses will be the same.
 4 resolution to that effect passed about two months ago, allows all peo- pie now in Business to continue in bus iness by paying one-half of the pres ent year license on the present basis, until the provisions of the prohibition law demand q cessation. It Is intend- ed to apply particularly to the liquor business and does not affect those en- gagged in other lines. The notice sent out from the city clerks office appears to have been nisinterpreted. and it Is desired to dissipate the notion so gen. orally conceived that 1t applies to any people except liquor dealers.

GOULD IS OPTIMISTIC
STANDARD OIL DECISION TURNED
 TIDE OF DEPRESSION.
Head of Railroad Systems Returns From Europe and Says He Would Welcome Hartman in the
 Gould Directorate.

New York. July 2s.--George J. Gould, head of the Gould system of railroads, on returning from Europe today said that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to have F. H. Hartman in the directorate of the Gould roads. Replying to a question whether Mir. Hartman would become director of the Gould system, Mir. Could said: q cannot say, except that nothing would give me greater. pleasure than to have MT. Hartman with us. We need all the help of able men we can secure. The railroad managers lot is not a par- ticularlS happy one. Some of the dia- monds have dropped from our-crown.'
 Concerning his own property he said: We are not yet out Of the woods. While business has not yet reached the volume of last year. he added, his roads were now doing nearly a nor mai business. The receiverships of some of his roads. he said, were of a friendly nature and were designed protect them from hostile state inter- ests.
 Mir Gould Isid much stress upon the excellence of crop conditions, which he said particularly affected the welfare of the Gould roads. Concerning the Standard Oil decision, Mr. Gould ex- pressed unqualified satisfaction. T think" said Mir. Gould. that marks the turn in the business situation.
