INTEREST dN CALCUTTA, :
OVER DEATH OF FAKiH

Correspondence Of The Star and New sYSfs
World
CALCUTTA, October 21.-The circ1,n-
stances surrounding the death and
burial of an aged fakir in the New
Market, from which most of the Eu
ropean residents obtain their proyi-
Sions. are causing excitement In CAL
cutta today.
The old Mahomedan fakir had bees,
. familiar figure in one corner OF the
New Market for the past Is years. He
had never been heard to utter a
syllable. The fakir died in the mar
ket, and a number of Mahomedan
butchers in the neighborhood de-
termined that, in accordance with a
rumored wish of the saint" his body
should be buried where he lay. Per
mission was asked of the market
superintendent, who refused, buf
later the deputy mayor appeared, and
he seems to have given leave to bury
the body under the pavement of the
passage. Three thousand rupees
S1,000) were collected for the purpose
of erecting a shrine over the spot.
1t appears that the deputy mayor
only gave permission for the burial in
order to avoid free fight, and strong
exception to his action has been
taken by all classes A certain pi-
Quancy is lent to the situation by the
claim of certain Madrassi Christians
that the Mahomedan saint" was in
fact a member of their community.
