eight years. Speaking of the work

porter of the United Associated Pres
ses: “When I first visited India I
found less than two dozen converts.
Now there are about 110,000. Since
we introduced education among the
women and girls of India we have
established a number of schools and
a college exclusively for females.
Education is making wonderful
strides in India. In Calcutta alone
20,000 young mon are students. I
expect to reach Bombay about De
combsr 13. On my arrival I shall
start immediately on a tour of mis.
sieuary work throughout India.” Ha
said that he expected to. encounter
much trouble, owing to the misery
entailed by the bad crop conditions-
Excepting this drawback, however’
the bishop said the outlook as to the
results of his tour were encouraging.

General Weyler returned to Ha

signed no reason for leaving his army
and returning to the Capital.
Antonio Constantine, a natu
ralized Italian, has complained to
United States Commissioner Foote
that the pass port issued to him las
summer failed to give him protec-’
tion. He alleges that he went on a
visit to Italy last summer and was
pressed into military service. He
secured sick leave and under dis
guise escaped tha country. He
wants redress.
General Palacio, the Mexican
: minister to Spain, is dead. In 1862
he raised a regiment at his own ex
’ penae to drive the French out of
1 Mexico and rapidly rose to the com
mand of a division. Later he distin
-1 guished himself as a diplomat.
A large area in India is seriously
threatened with famine. In 1877
1 over five million of India’s popula
tion perished from hunger and from
diseases which inevitably accompany
a wide-spread scarcity of food. It
is said that unless energetic laeae.
; urea are promptly taken the loss of
i life from the present drought will
likely reach into hundreds of thou,
sands, if not into millions.
On Wednesday of last week a
number of young men of Newcastle,
Del., entered the armory of a militia
company and tore down a Spanish
flag and burned it. The Spanish
government is indignant at the out

Dupuy de Lome, to make energetic
■ complaint and demand an apology.
After a long silence, which has
excited uneasiness, the Caban junta
■ has heard from Maxine Gomez. He
claims to have 35,000 men, and is
i making his way to Havana Prov
' ince. Owing to bad roads his ap
i proach is necessarily slow, but he
■ reports his army in good health and
I spirits.
1 The Feigaro, a leading French
1 journal, in commenting on tho rela.
tions between the United States and
Spain on the Cuban question, says:
, “ The American newspapers, which
I are egging the United States to war
with Spain, should reflect that war
. wth Spain means war with Europe ;
1 and in the interest of the United
! States itself, it is to bo hoped that
■ this eventuality will not rise.
Why Is It?
You ask why is it that Gelders,
though one of the new comers as a
restaurant man, has such a fine pat
[ ronage? Why has he succeeded when
’ others in the same line have gone to
’ the wall?
’ How can he hold his own by the
’ side of men who have been known
to the public for years?
Go there once for a meal and you
will understand.
1 Quick clean service, any thing you
want at prices that can’t be beat, and
’ a busy man’s lunch that gives more
for the money than any place I have
found in town, explains the case fully.
