BAIN FALLS IN INDIA
The Long Drouth Broken by
Generous Showers.
THE SITUATION STILL VERY GRAVE
A. Million Persons Will Have to Be
Ved I'ntll Ibe Coming or the
Harvest In April.
Calcutta, Jan. 7.-At a meeting of
the council today. Sir John Woodburn,
revenue member, said the timely rains
of November and December bad saved
India from the greatest calamity of the
century, so widespread and severe was
the drought. The large area sown with
the assistance of the November rains
had, he said, been greatly henefited by
farther rainB last week, and an addtiion
to the food stock was expected in April.
In spite of this, the present situation
was very grave. Nearly 750,000 persons
were already in receipt of relief, and the
task for providing for the enormous
numbers was gigantic. Ttie government
was giving unstinted help.
The viceroy, Earl of Elgin, endorsed
the statement of Sir John Woodburn,
and said it was what the government
was awaiting to enable it to give better
effect to the proposals it would gladly re
ceive. The government, the viceroy emphat
icaly declared, can have nothing to do
with an appeal to private cbariy. Its
own dntieB were clear, and the govern
ment was delermmd fulfill them. - Ttie
funds were ample, and it should never
be eaid the the full resourses of the em
pire bad not been used for relieving dis
tress. GOLD FOUND AT - GREAT DEPTH.
Rick Find in m Grass Valley Gold
Alloc.
San Fkaxcisco, Jan. 7. The mining
world has been set by the cars by the de
velopment in the Kennedy mine in
Grass Valley within the past few days.
At a perpendicular depth of over 2,100
feet a body of rich ore fully thirty feet
in width has been discovered. In mag
nitude the ore body will compare favor
ably with any yet found, and the great
depth at which it lies explodes a long
cherished and heretofore believed infal
lible tradition of the eearcb for gold on
the Pacific coast.
It is an old theory, which age has al
most crystallized into a formula, that
gold ore disappears after ascertain depth
has been attained. This is a creed of
every old prospector from the Yukon to
Via Panama letnmna TVlA HpCflnn
meats in the Kennedy not only topples
over the old-time belief, but may lead to
a revolution in mining in this state.
-For the deeper progress is made in the
lTonnaHv tViA wiripr vmwfl the nrfl hoilv.
At the 800 foot level the vein was rich,
but only eight feet wide. At the 2,000
foot level it bad increased to twenty feet.
At the 2,100-foot level it is thirty feet
wide, and as the workmen go still
deeper the ore body grows. It is like a
great wedge in the earth, with the edge
to the surface. .
Orders have been given to sink the
ehaft an additional 200 feet, and mine
owners on the Pacific coast are awaiting
the result. If that ledge continues to
grow in siz? there will be some lively
burrowing in the bottom of the mother
lode this coming summer. Even the
Comstock people may be tempted to
make another experiment.
At its present development the Ken
nedy has the distinction of being the
deepest gold mine in the world, with the
exception of a property in Victoria,
Australia. The shaft from top to bot
tom, allowing for the incline, measures
2,450 feet.

Spaniard Kill Baud reds la Gaanabacoa
Province-
New York, Jan. 7. Antonio Aguierro
a member of the Havana produce ex
change arrived here on the steamer
Orizaba, from Havana. He was a resi
dent of Guanabacoa, where, according
to recent reports from Havana, a trochee
were committed by the Spanish troops
under Colonel Fondevils. Senor
Aguierro when seen last night said ;
..T1 . L!A 1. tUn TT:ajl
States of the affairs in Guanabacoa
are far from telling the whole truth.
Colonel Fondevila has instituted a reign
of terror at the place. His name ia well
known to the American press as that of
the most bloodthirsty officer of General
Weyler's command. He is a iavorite of
captain-general and has been appointed
military commander of Guanabacoa,
just across the bay from Havana.!
"Fully 500 families have left the town
and moved into Havana since, his tak-,
ing charge. People are ..." taken ; from
their homes and killed with machetes in
the ontskirts of the town. The world
is then made to believe that such, people
were leaving their homes to join the
rebels who swarm the neighborhood! I
know of 39 persons who have thus been
done away with.
"Even honest Spaniards are shocked
at Fondevila's acts. One of the honest
Spaniards warned me that my name
was on the list with more than 200 more
kept, by Fondevila as men marked by
him for secret execution aa rebel sym
pathizers. Being a thoroughly neutral
man and having good friends among the
Cubans and Spaniards alike, I managed
to obtain my passport for the United
States. I owe my escape from Fonde
vila's clutches to one of my Spanish
friends, for whom I feel the" greatest
gratitude."
LETTER TO HER COUNTRY' WOMEN.
The Princess De Ctalmay Indites a Mis
sive' of Warning.
New Yoek, Jan. 7. The World pub
lishes the following letter from the Prin
cess de Chimay, formerly Clara Ward, of
Detroit, who is now at Budapest," ad
dressed "To My Countrywoman:"
"It is hardly necessary to say that I
do not dictate this letter with the inten
tion of influencing public opinion in, my
favor. I think I have shown by my ac
tions that what is called public opinion
does not exist for me, and that therefore
regard for it could not in the least- in
fluence my doings. I leave it ; to any
body who eo pleases to condemn or ex
cuse me. I know too well who and what
the people aften are, or pose to be, for
whom the world in which I had the mis
fortune to live can never cease praying.
The judgment of these people is of no
consequence to me.
"Nor did I intend by my letter to in
duce any of my countrywomen to follow
my example. What I have done, I did
because I felt that I had to doit. I hate
hypocrisy and lies. I wanted to have
done with them. I wanted to be free,
to escape the fetid atmosphere in which
modern society moves. Could I have
hppn a mnn I would - have become a
second Count Tolstoi in certain respects.
"What I want to impress upon my
countrywomen, especially on those of
them who, like me, are spoiled children
of fortune, is, always be true to them
selves and to others ; never to give up
the htehest ideas of life for the sake of
social position.
"There are, I think, only a few Ameri
can-bred women who could feel them
selves really happy in high European,
are exceptions, but few, very few only.
I. know that even the best councils have
but a very slight effect, yet I wish that
yuu, my sisterj at home, would take my
fate as a lesson."
The progressive ladies of Westfield,
Ind.i issued a "Woman's Edition" of the
Westfield News, bearing date of April 3,
1896. The paper is filled with matter of
interest to women, and we notice the
following froui a correspondent, which
the editors printed, realizing that it
treats upon a matter of vital importance
to their sex: "The best remedy for
croup, colds end bronchitis that I have
been able to find is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For family useithasnoeqnal.
I gladly recommend it." 25 and 60 cent

Exeta's Vast Hope Is Dashed to Earth.
OAKLANO.Cal., Jan. 7. General Ezeta,
the ex-president of therepublicof Salva
dor, has had one more bitter dreg added
to his cap of unhappinesa." He read the
published report of the cancellation of
the papers of the consul-general of the
republics of Honduras, Salvador and
Nicaragua, and the issuance of papers to
his sworn enemy, Dr. Calderon, as consul-general
of the united republics.
These facts mean that Ezeta's last hope
of returning to Salvador-and being re
ceived by his faithful people will never
be realized.- ' 1 s '
"I look upon the whole matter," said
the general as he paced uneasily up and
down his room, "as a great' farce. The
unification of those three republics has
all been- accomplished by their re
spective governments without ever sub
mitting the question to the people.
"There is a motive for it a very
clever motive and before long the
money-lenders of this country and
Europe will discover it. The three
bankrupt republics have simply banded
together for mutual strength and for the
rturbose of presenting to - the world an
appearance of solidity and stability so
that tbey wili be enabled to float some
heavy loans under Hie guise of making
permanent improvements and develop
ing the Greater Republic of Central
America. .. .
JAPANESE LITERATURE.
Much Activity Among; the Learned Men
of the Mikado's Realm.
There is a deal of literary activity in
Japan just at the present time, which,.
however indicative possibly it may be
of better times to ccme, is now and of
itself far from commendable, says the
London Dial. The overwhelming- pre
dominance of themere periodical is what
the writer especially complains of. A
native Japanese regTets, among other
things, the incompetency of versifying
in the Chinese language, which is
spoken of as something common, the
degradation of literature by the com
mercial spirit, the excessive prevalence
of fiction, the cocksureness of impor
tant airs taken on them by the class of
youthful critics that has sprung up.
He says of the latter: "With no ade
quate knowledge of English, men com
pose treatises on the comparative
merits of English poets, and raw Ger
man students express a preference for
one German, poet rather than another."
Work, nevertheless, of a much more
substantial form than as thus indicated
is happily under way. A history of the
recent war with China, in charge of the
government, is in contemplation, which
it is expected will require five years and
50,000 yen for its accomplishment. Be
sides, the Imperial university has n
committee of 16 scholars in its employ,
collecting, classifying and editing the
voluminous material requisite in Wi3
preparation of an exhaustive history of
Japan.
A Fair of Panthers.
Smut creek is u small stream in the
Big Horn mountains. A rancher in the
valley set a trap for panthers, which he.
thought had been stealing his sheep.
The trap was of steel, extra large and
heavy, and baited with mutton. ' Four
days in succession the rancher visited
the trap, and found nothing. He
omitted the fifth day, and when he
came on the sixth he heard a groaning
sound. He found that every bush with
in five yartls had been torn up by the
roots, the ground itself looked as if it
had been plowed, nnd the trap was
gone. FoIIowinir the sounds he saw
the tips cf the ears of an animal behind
a rock. He made n careful detour, with
rifle cocked, and finally came upon, not
one, but 'two panthers. One had its
leg in the trap, the other was licking
the trapped panther, as a cat would her
kitten. The rancher shot the nntrapped
panther, and then easily dispatched
the other.

It is said that- a hurricane liolds the

THE INTELLIGENT JURY.
Even the Conrt Himself Got Up and
Swore.
"I don't believo everything I hcav
about the ignorance of the . averog-e
jury," said an old lawyer in reminiscent
mood, relates -the Detroit Free Press,
"but onee, when I visited a backwoods
court in tiie mountains of Xorth Caro
lina, I did happen on an incident that
shook my faith for a time. The case
was before a squire and the prisoner
was up for hog- stealing1. It was the
rudest court and surrounding-s I even
got into and I should not have been
surprised at anything-, but I was. After
a couple of jack-leg lawyers had got
in what they had to say the - court
turned the case over to a jury and it
adjourned to a barn to decide the in
nocence or gmilt of :the prisoner. And
such a jury! I can never forg-et what
a motley gang that jury was. In half
an hour it icame back and resumed its
place in court.
"'Have you found a verdict?' asked
the squire. -
" 'Wha-t's that?' responded the fore
man. '
"'Have you found a verdict? That's
what), replied the squire.
" 'Why, squire,' hesitated the fore
man, with a foolish grin, we didn't
know thar wuz one lost.; did we, boys 7'
And even that court couldn't stand it
but got up and swore."

SHE CARRIES THE MAIL.
Plucky Ida SI in ton and Her Life In tbe
Mountains.
The road from Castlow to Anderson
ville is through one of the roughest re
gions of Kentucky, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.. Robberies are frequent, and
many a brave man has hesitated and
looked well to his gun before entering
on, the trip. To Mrs. Minton, however,
the highway has no terrors. She enjoys
the unique distinction of being proba
bly the only female mail-carrier in
Uncle Sam's service who rides horse
back fearlessly through, the. forests
with . her pouch, which contains the
missives which are the only means of
communication with the world at large
to the residents of Andersonville.
She is a typical Kentucky mountain
girl, active, strong, fearless and very
intelligents She is an excellent horse
woman. No animal is too high spirited
for her, nor does . she neetr help in
mounting and dismounting. With the
mail pouch thrown across the pommel
of her saddle, she rides fearlessly along
the lonely highway, and it is safe to
say that anyone interfering with Unci'-
Sam's mail would have to be a better
and quicker shot than the . ordinary
man, or very well mounted, to stop the
mail.
Mrs. Minton has been married two
