For three years the crops have been failures In both provinces. There was tnore or leas famine in previous season*,1 and the people were in poverty when the winter begin. Their condition has since been growing steadily worse. Letters state that cannibalism is practiced now to a considerable extent. LI Hutkg Chang, in conversation with Mr. Conger, the American minister, stated that the people were reduced to eating human flesh. Many of them were selling their womeh and children to obtain money with which to bur food for tho remaining members of their families. Infanticide is alarmingly common. Parents, driven insane by want and the appeals of their children for food, which they are unable to provide, kill the little ones rather than listen to their cries of distress and see their sufferings. By keeping in constant communication with one another the columns will advance as a huge concerted force along a battle front of more than 100 miles in width.

It happened in this Way: The firm's business is one that makes a great deal of woolen and cotton waste, and waate of course should be s&Ved, because it veils readily and at a good price. But this firm, when It ckme to sell its waste, never had ttiiich to sell. The stuff disap- Ct*d somehow, but no one could imagwhere it went. Well, you remember the storm—hew heavy It was and how white it made everything. The president walked home that evening in the trail of hit hands—there were no cars running— and all along his walk for a mile he saw waste, his waste, lying black everywhere on the white snow. Bo he investigated, and he found that his employees were in the habit of stuffing their pockets with the waste. It was useful for wiping their hands on. They had no idea of its value, and on the way home each evening they would throw away what had been left over in their pockets; hence in the course of a year a great waate of waste— a waste by actual calculation of $15,000 annually. The evil being discovered, the remedy was easy to rfpply. A waste watchman wae put in each department of tha factory, and at once the firm's income from the sale of the stuff jumped up over $1,000 a month."—Philadelphia Record.

According to Senator Sullivan, Miss Leeton has been writing to him asking for money. He met her by accident, and she abused him and called him names. He admits that he tinally became very much exasperated and in sudden anger slapped her face. Miss Leeton says sle was taking her dinner in a restaurawC when a friend of Senator Sullivan eallecrber outside, ostensibly to give her a letter.

The judge of the court of first instance is inclined to hold thst Neely is guilty of stealing surcharged stamps to the amount of $300,000, and as the question of bail at present rests with him the cash to be deposited would exceed that figure.

I For many years a well known Philadelphia attorney haa employed an original method to gain revenge on a large propertjrtowner who once defeated him in a lawsuit. It started over the rental of a piece of ground on Secdhd street in what was once the business center of Philadelphia. Under the original contract the lessee of the ground paid his rental in 800 Spanish dollars, but a dosan years ago the owner desired a change in tha specifications. For some reason the lessee objected and engaged the-attorney in question when the owner brought suit against him and was sustained by the court. A Ever since, however, the attorney has employed his revengeful tactics. Before the annua! date of payment he sends to Mexico for 800 Spanish dollars, heavy and unwieldy in size. On pay day he waits uatH after banking hours, when he secures a wheelbarrow and has the load of heavy silver carted to the ground owner. Banks are closed, and the owner is compelled to keep the silver at his own risk. He then brings suit, the attorney opposes him, and, although annually defeated, the latter declares that the fun of it is worth the trouble.—Philadelphia Record. a5c 29c • 39C .JSC •39C Pathetic Appeals, Ceatlj- Fire In Connecticut. New Haven. Feb. 4—Fire from to unknown caus#» destroyed the large plant of the National Wire company at Fair Haven yesterday, i-ntailing a property loss estimated at $825,000. The plant consisted of two one story buildings, which covered about five acres of ground space, and all, except the wire nail department, was reduced to ruins through the lack of facilities fighting the flames. The conflagration lasted until late into the day, aud the spectacle, visible from all parts of this city, attracted crowds of people. The detailed loss has not as yet been determined, but Mr. Wales, the general manager ot the company. states that $325,000 is a conservative figure and that a large insurance wus carried. The plant was formerly the New Ilaven Wire company and employed about 500 hand*. i All cojJcerned, including the mourners, will walk. A large force of London police has been requisitioned to keep order, and the spectacle will be very impressive, bands playing funeral marches until the mausoleum is reachfed. Npwark, N. J., Feb. 4.—The Rev. John Keller, secretary to ftight Rev. Bishop Starkey, pastor of Trinity Episcopal mission in Arlington, N.

Mr. Holler had Just left the house of J. S. Sands, where he ate his meals, when Barker, who was in front of the door, opened fire. The shooting, it is said, was the result of a disclosure made by Barker's wife, although Mr. Keller denies the accusation made against him. Barker after the shooting surrendered himself to the police and was locked up. Mr. Keller was on his way to the Church of the Good Shepherd at Fort Lee to attend the dedication when he was shot.

Minister Drops Dead In Port Chester. New York, Feb. 4.—The Rev. I)r. Marlin dropped dead on the street at Port Chester last night. He was over 70 years of age. Death was due to heart disease. Mr. Marlin was a Presbyterian minister and lived in New York city. He went to Port Chester to be a guest of the Rev. Irving White, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of that place. Dr. Marlin was a British subject and was to preach a sermon last night on the death of the late Queen Victoria. I)r. White, his wife and Dr. Marlin left the White residence to go to the church. When they reached the street, Dr. Marlin said his heart troubled him. He Walked some distance and suddenly sank to the sidewalk, where he expired a few minutes later. FANCY To Re-eleet Superintendent Skinner. New York, Feb. 4.—There has been much concern over the fate of Charles R. Skinner, superintendent of public instruction. The term of the office is three years, and Mr. Skinner was first elected on joint ballot of the senate and assembly on Feb. 13, 1805. Mr. Skinner is from Watertown. He is completing his second term. A number of candidates have sought Mr. Skinner's place. It was announced last night that after arguments for and against Governor Odell, Senator Piatt and Chairman Dunn of the Republican state committee and the Republican leaders of the senate and assembly had decided to give Mr. Skinner a third term and that the Republican caucus to be held within a few days at Albany will so determine.

This is owing to the fact that at a conservative estimate 25,- 000 extra mouths have to be filled. There are 20,000 soldiers alone in the neighborhood of Singan-fu, and 5,000 Is a small estimate of the number of official retainers who are with the court. Of course great quantities of provisions have been sent from other provinces for the use of the court, but these have been insufficient for 25,000 persons, all of whom get full rationa at the expense of the starving people.

A guard of honor of the Queen's company of the grenadier guards, with the band of the regiment, will be drawn up facing the chapel and will present arms. The prbcession will move off in tfea following order: The Queen's company, with arms reversed; the governor and constable of Windsor castle, the Duke of Argyll, highlanders and pipers, royal servants, baud of the grenadier guards, the bishop of Winchester and the dean of Windsor, the lord chamberlain and the lord steward, and then the gun carriage, supported bv the late queen's equerries and household and flanked by the same officers as appeared in Saturday's ceremony in LC?n-dou.After a month's desultory and indecisive campaigning against his stubborn entaiy Lord Kitchener has begun a great offensive movement designed to sweep the Boers out of the whole eastern half of the Transvaal.

For three years the crops have been failures In both provinces. There was tnore or leas famine in previous season*,1 and the people were in poverty when the winter begin. Their condition has since been growing steadily worse. Letters state that cannibalism is practiced now to a considerable extent. LI Hutkg Chang, in conversation with Mr. Conger, the American minister, stated that the people were reduced to eating human flesh. Many of them were selling their womeh and children to obtain money with which to bur food for tho remaining members of their families. Infanticide is alarmingly common. Parents, driven insane by want and the appeals of their children for food, which they are unable to provide, kill the little ones rather than listen to their cries of distress and see their sufferings. By keeping in constant communication with one another the columns will advance as a huge concerted force along a battle front of more than 100 miles in width.

It happened in this Way: The firm's business is one that makes a great deal of woolen and cotton waste, and waate of course should be s&Ved, because it veils readily and at a good price. But this firm, when It ckme to sell its waste, never had ttiiich to sell. The stuff disap- Ct*d somehow, but no one could imagwhere it went. Well, you remember the storm—hew heavy It was and how white it made everything. The president walked home that evening in the trail of hit hands—there were no cars running— and all along his walk for a mile he saw waste, his waste, lying black everywhere on the white snow. Bo he investigated, and he found that his employees were in the habit of stuffing their pockets with the waste. It was useful for wiping their hands on. They had no idea of its value, and on the way home each evening they would throw away what had been left over in their pockets; hence in the course of a year a great waate of waste— a waste by actual calculation of $15,000 annually. The evil being discovered, the remedy was easy to rfpply. A waste watchman wae put in each department of tha factory, and at once the firm's income from the sale of the stuff jumped up over $1,000 a month."—Philadelphia Record.

F. W. Neely, the alleged defaulter. What the amount will be has not been stated, as Neely* s lawyer absolutely refuses to deposit cash, fearing that it will be seised, and the government does not care to show its hand by regulating the amount of bail until forced to do so. The charges will aggregate an embezzlement of over $100,000, with the possibility of the amount being materially increased. The judge of the court of first instance is inclined to hold thst Neely is guilty of stealing surcharged stamps to the amount of $300,000, and as the question of bail at present rests with him the cash to be deposited would exceed that figure. The special counsel for the government Is confident of convicting Neely apart from the stamp burning incident. The lfecly Case. The choir will meet the funeral cortege on the steps.

I For many years a well known Philadelphia attorney haa employed an original method to gain revenge on a large propertjrtowner who once defeated him in a lawsuit. It started over the rental of a piece of ground on Secdhd street in what was once the business center of Philadelphia. Under the original contract the lessee of the ground paid his rental in 800 Spanish dollars, but a dosan years ago the owner desired a change in tha specifications. For some reason the lessee objected and engaged the-attorney in question when the owner brought suit against him and was sustained by the court. A Ever since, however, the attorney has employed his revengeful tactics. Before the annua! date of payment he sends to Mexico for 800 Spanish dollars, heavy and unwieldy in size. On pay day he waits uatH after banking hours, when he secures a wheelbarrow and has the load of heavy silver carted to the ground owner. Banks are closed, and the owner is compelled to keep the silver at his own risk. He then brings suit, the attorney opposes him, and, although annually defeated, the latter declares that the fun of it is worth the trouble.—Philadelphia Record. a5c 29c • 39C .JSC •39C Pathetic Appeals, Ceatlj- Fire In Connecticut. New Haven. Feb. 4—Fire from to unknown caus#» destroyed the large plant of the National Wire company at Fair Haven yesterday, i-ntailing a property loss estimated at $825,000. The plant consisted of two one story buildings, which covered about five acres of ground space, and all, except the wire nail department, was reduced to ruins through the lack of facilities fighting the flames. The conflagration lasted until late into the day, aud the spectacle, visible from all parts of this city, attracted crowds of people. The detailed loss has not as yet been determined, but Mr. Wales, the general manager ot the company. states that $325,000 is a conservative figure and that a large insurance wus carried. The plant was formerly the New Ilaven Wire company and employed about 500 hand*. i All cojJcerned, including the mourners, will walk. A large force of London police has been requisitioned to keep order, and the spectacle will be very impressive, bands playing funeral marches until the mausoleum is reachfed. Npwark, N. J., Feb. 4.—The Rev. John Keller, secretary to ftight Rev. Bishop Starkey, pastor of Trinity Episcopal mission in Arlington, N.

Mr. Holler had Just left the house of J. S. Sands, where he ate his meals, when Barker, who was in front of the door, opened fire. The shooting, it is said, was the result of a disclosure made by Barker's wife, although Mr. Keller denies the accusation made against him. Barker after the shooting surrendered himself to the police and was locked up. Mr. Keller was on his way to the Church of the Good Shepherd at Fort Lee to attend the dedication when he was shot.

Mr. Marlin was a Presbyterian minister and lived in New York city. He went to Port Chester to be a guest of the Rev. Irving White, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of that place. Dr. Marlin was a British subject and was to preach a sermon last night on the death of the late Queen Victoria. I)r. White, his wife and Dr. Marlin left the White residence to go to the church. When they reached the street, Dr. Marlin said his heart troubled him. He Walked some distance and suddenly sank to the sidewalk, where he expired a few minutes later. FANCY To Re-eleet Superintendent Skinner. New York, Feb. 4.—There has been much concern over the fate of Charles R. Skinner, superintendent of public instruction. The term of the office is three years, and Mr. Skinner was first elected on joint ballot of the senate and assembly on Feb. 13, 1805. Mr. Skinner is from Watertown. He is completing his second term. A number of candidates have sought Mr. Skinner's place. It was announced last night that after arguments for and against Governor Odell, Senator Piatt and Chairman Dunn of the Republican state committee and the Republican leaders of the senate and assembly had decided to give Mr. Skinner a third term and that the Republican caucus to be held within a few days at Albany will so determine.

This is owing to the fact that at a conservative estimate 25,- 000 extra mouths have to be filled. There are 20,000 soldiers alone in the neighborhood of Singan-fu, and 5,000 Is a small estimate of the number of official retainers who are with the court. Of course great quantities of provisions have been sent from other provinces for the use of the court, but these have been insufficient for 25,000 persons, all of whom get full rationa at the expense of the starving people.
