WHY you should insure in the “OLD RELIABLE” MANHATTAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of New York. HENRY K. STOKES, President. First —It Is An Old Company. Other things being equal, an old eompanp is to be pre ferred, as it has had a chance to prove itself and make a record by which it can be judged. “The Old Manhattan” has made its record, to which today it points with pride. Second —It Is A Clean Company. In the fifty years of its existence, no breach of scandal has been directed towards it; no questionable practices have been entered into by its management, and no examination of its books or accounts lias shown cause for criticism. Third— It Is A Just Company. We judge a company as we do a man. What are its morals? When other companies deserted the Southern Policy-holder, and used both the money he had contributed towards their success, and their influence to destroy him, the Manhattan stayed firm as a rock—“ Justice” was their motto.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA. Kapurwadi Famine Belief Camp. Ahmednagar, India, Mav 19, 1900. (Special Correspondence,) On my way to India I supposed I was traveling 10,000 miles to watch 10,000,000 people starve to death After repeated visits to the great relief camps, however, I find I have come 10,000 miles to watch the Anglo-Saxon races iu the act of saviug the lives of mil lions of the “Aryan brown.” Besides these particular ten millions of famine suffereis whose wants are immediate, there are 40,000.000 others who, in bands of 10,000 or more, may at any mo ment cry out for food. But for the present I can write only of the 10,000,000 who are absolutely de pendent upon Government or pri vate charity. Of these, nearly 6,000,000 are fed and clothed and kept alive at the numerous Government relief camps. As many as possible of the remaing 4,000,000 are being cared for by missionaries with money supplied by foreign contri butions, notably America. There is no better thermometer of the famine than a Government relief camp. These camps, like a thermometer, indicate the rise and fall in the intensity of the famine, and show the increase or decrease in the number of sufferers, accord ing to the number of people at the relief works. These Government relief camps are of three kinds: First, petty camps, in charge of a native, where not more than 1,000 people are fed; second,great camps, in charge of an English engineer, where from 10,000 to 15,000 people are given work; third, moving camps, iD charge of a native —camps of a few hundred people who are em ployed iu road making and who change their base of operations every few days, as the work prog resses. At a town called Kedgaon. 150 miles from Bombay, I had my first glimpse of life at a relief station. This was the petty sta tion, called Warwand camp, where 800 people were employed in break ing stone and in carrying the broken stone to spots convenient for the tepair of the highway. This Warwand camp is in the centre of the Deccan, in.ordinary times fertile and productive, but now in these famine times a great desert plain in the centre of the Bombay Presidency. Imagine a vast desert of brown parched earth, where never a green thing rests the eye, where you breathe hot air that well nigh suffocates you, where not an insect sound is heard, where only carrion birds hover in the still and dreadful air, where the sun looks like a disc of brass pasted on the sky, and you have the environment of the setting of this Government camp. Then, in the midst of this desert place, picture for yourself an hun dred heaps of grey jagged rocks, each heap swarming with human beings, who, with chisel and ham mer, are breaking the rocks into stones. The sun cruel and relent lessly beats down its scorching rays upon uncovered heads, and the hot air tries to absorb the ripe moisture yet in their poor, shrivelled, shrunken bodies. The skin of these people looks like tanned leather. Their bones pre sent an outline as of a skeleton. Never a song is heard —only the click, click of the hammers. Never a smile is seen —only a grin of what may be called a glad despair, when the sun settles low on the horizon, when the hours of stone breaking are nearly over, when the two cents for the day’s work is almost earned. Two-thirds of these sad, silent beings croaching on the rocks are women. Here are nursing moth ers with babe at breast; here are women about to become mothers; here are little girls, only eight years old, bearing a red mark on their foreheads, giving notice that they are married; here are girls only fourteen years of age, with shaven heads, indicating that they have even so soon reached widow hood. All these, with the men breaking stoues at two cents a duy, in order to keep life in their poor bodies. The Government Famine Code says that pregnant women and nursing mothers shall be support ed without having to work, but, with every desire on the part of the Government to carry out the letter of the code, native olticials frequently overlook certain clans- LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 5. 1900. es. The second camp I visited was the big camp at Ahmednagar, where 15,000 people are employed building a great reservoir for the storage of water for the city. A tonga, or pony jaunting cart, carried us from Ahmeduaga across the parched country to this great camp, called Kapurwadi. Again two-thirds of the workers were women; the scenes of the little camp visited the day before were here repeated oil a collossal scale Here were five thousand women carrying pans of mud and mortar on their head, women reduced to mere burden bearers. I saw neith er sfiovelß nor picks, each woman simply gathered up the earth iu her hands, packed it into a sort of dish pan with which she was provided, carried the load on her head to the great embankment, then returned, in line with hun dreds of her sisters, for another load. Thus, with the hands of women, a great hole is being dug, and a great wall being built, these two things, the hole and the wall, forming a resorvoir in the heart of the dreadful desert of India Meanwhile, at more than a hun dred stations, missionaries shelter many thousand. Widows and orphans, the aged and helpless, little children, and famine suffer ers generally, are given work are fed, and clothed, and taught to look up instead of down—all by the wise expenditure of moneys supplied chiefly by the American people. To return to the great relief camp, where I am writing this, the people work ail day, from sun rise to sunset, in the scorching, devitalizing heat, save during the two hottest hours at midday. At night they return to their tents of matting, little abodes supplied by the Government, and laid out like a military camp. Each tent is numbered, and four persons are allotted to each tent The men are at one end of the big encamp ment, the women at the other. Where whole families are employ ed, every attempt is made to keep these families together, a whole field being set aside for tents big enough to accommodate families of four or more. All religions are represented iu each camp—Hindus, Mahomme dans, Jains, Parsees, and Chris tians In this work, in the group ing of the people for purposes of the necessary organization of labor caste is largely lost sight of, and frequently high and low must dig mud and carry mud together. So much for the dramatic and picturesque side of the famine. The tragic side is a sight that brings tears. If one could de scribe the awfulness of the tragic scene, the pitiful sight of thous ands of lives now ebbing away be cause of the too great lack of food before coming to this haven, if one could unfold before the eyes of the American nation the pano rama of the famine-stricken por tion of India, with its millions of starving, naked people, the purses of a whole nation would be opened wide to give money to wipe such misery off the surface of the earth. The work of relief must be con tinued for several months. Tens of thousands of those who are under the care of the missionaries referred to in the above letter are wholly dependent, for their daily food, upon the India Famine Re lief Work, whicli is conducted un der the auspices of The Christian Herald, 92 Bible House, New York City. All fuuds received by it are cabled directly to the mission aries in India, through the Inter denominational Committee. —The Christian Herald. LADIES, WHY DON’T YOU?

There is not a drop of Jewish 'blood in my veins. lam not con nected with the Jews by the mar riage of any near or distant kins man. I owe no Jew a dollar and no Jew owes me. Among all my personal or intimate friends I can not name one single Jew. I speak from the vantage ground of abso lute independence. It is a splendid race—splendid in their patience, in their love for one another, in their endurance,in their sagasity and temperate hab its and splendid in their inflexible adherence to their Mosiac ideals. Do you want an aristocracy of blood and birth ? The Jews are the purest blooded and have the best established decent in the world. Not Mirabeau in the French convention, nor Patrick Henry in the house of Burgesses, uor “Sam” Adams in colonial al days ever said a more thriving thing than Disrael said in the En glish commons in reply to a charge that he was a Jew. “Yes, lam a Jew ! And when the ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages iu an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple.” Do you seek an aristocracy of talent ? The great church histo rian Neander was a Jew; Napole on’s marshals, Soult and Massena, were Jews; the brilliant and cynic al Heine was a Jew; and —but the world’s roll of great soldiers, au thors, musicians, painters, poets, philosophers and financiers, con tain more Hebrew names than I can recite in many hours. Are you looking for an aristoc racy of wealth ? The combined financial power of the Jews in Eu rope can prevent the floating cf almost any national loan which may be put upon the markets of the world. It is a spurious, false Christiani ty that hates Jews. The mystery of the incarnation found expres tion in the flesh and blood of a Jew. We get our Ten Command ments—the very foundation of our civilization—through the Jew. We sing Jewish psalms, are uplifted by the passion and poetry of Jew r ish prophets, and rely on Jewish biographies for the only history we have of Christ. We get our Pauline theology from a Jew, and we catch our earliest glimpse of the Dext world through the sub lime apocalyptic vision of a Jew. Then forsooth we Christians turn about and sneer at Jews. I have conversed with teachers of philosophy who spoke slightly of the Jews, and yet were teaching with enthusiasm ideas which they had absorbed from Maimonideo and Spinoza, the two greatest phi losophers, omitting Kant, since Plato’s day—both of them Jews. I have also heard musicians de nounce Jews and then spend days and nights trying to interpret the beauties of Rossini, Meyerbeer and Mendelsshon—all Jews. I talked the other day with a gifted actress, and heard both her and her hus band sweepingly condemn, confi dentially, of course, the whole race of Jews, and yet that woman would give half her remaining part of life if she could only reach the heights which the great queen of tragedy, Rachel, trod with such majesty and power—and Rachel was a Jewess. Here in Washington I have heard aspiring politicians, when beyond the reach of the reporter’s pencil, sneer at Jews, and yet it was a Jew that made England s Queen Empress of Lidia, and it was a Jew who was lor years the adroit and sagacious chairman of the na tional committee of one of our great political parties. The brain iest man in the Southern Confed eracy was Juda P. Benjamins, a Jew; and Chase, when managing our national finances in i perilous time, owed much ot bis success to QUESTION ANSWERED.

Med lock, Norcross, Smith & Harris, Suwanoe. the constant advice of a New York Jew. That you never see a Jew tramp or a Jew drunkard is a proverb That you never see a Jew beggar is a commonplace. That it is a statistical fact that there are relatively fewer inmates of our hospitals, jails and work houses furnished by Jews than any other race contributes, Converl the Jews! Yes, but meanwhile let us convert many of our church members to genuine Christianity Suppress the Jews! A score of Russian czars cannot do it. Every people on earth have tried and failed. They have out lived the Tudors and the Plantage uies, the Romanoffs, the tyranny of Spain, the dynasties of Frauce, Charlemagne, Constantiue, the Caesars, the Babylonian king, and the Egyptian Pharohs. It was God’s own race for 4,000 years, and the awful persecution it lias survived for 2,000 more, stamps it as a race still bearing some myste rious relation to the plan of the Eternal. The beauty and fidelity of Jewish women command my homage and among wealthy and educated Jews the exquisite refine ments of Jewesses, their culture and high breeding, blended with a sort of Oriental grace and dignity, put them among the most charm ing women of the world. But the Jew is tricky! Is he ? Were you nover taken in by a Methodist classleader on a real es tate trade ? Did you ever get in to close quarters with a Presbyte rian speculator ? Did you ever buy mining stc ck on the represen tation of an Episcopalian broker ? Did yon ever take a man’s word quicker because be was a Baptist or Roman Catholic ? Did you never see a Btone weighing twenty pounds concealed iu a bale of cot ton sold by a southerner ? Did you never find lard in the butter sold by a New England Puritan ? The belief that the Jew is more dishonest than the Gentile is one half nonsense and the other half prejudice and falsehood. The an ti-Jewish feeling which now seems to be rising again is unchristian, inhuman and un-American. No man can bhare it who believes in the universal fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man. He is born of the devil and is detestable.— George R. Wend ing, in People’s Tribune. IS IT RIGHT for an editor to recommend PATENT MEDICINES ? From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N.C. “It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medi cines which flood the market, yet as a preventitive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chainberiain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicit ly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain’s Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand and adminis tered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided, and in very many cases the pres ence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. ” For sale by Bag well Drug Co. “If I were to give you an or ange,” said a Kansas judge the oth er day, “I would simply say: *1 give you the orange,’ but should the transaction be entrusted to a lawyer to put in writing, he would adopt this form: ‘I hereby give, grant and convey to you all my in terest, right, title and advantage of and in said orange, together with its rind, skin, juice, pulp and pits, and all right and advantage therein, with full power to bite, suck or otherwise to eat the same, or give away with or without the rind, skin, juice or pulp or pits, anything hereinbefore or in any other deed or deeds, instruments of any nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in any wise not withstanding.’ ” Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes.
