FAMINE IS WIDESPREAD r London Society of Friends Sends a j Representative to Investigate and . His Report Shows Horrible . State of Affairs. " . Writing from the Russian famine V district, Dr, Kennard, who was sent by the Society of Friends in London, . -'. to investigate conditions among the j peasantry, draws an appalling picture of the suffering. After calling attention to the urgent and immediate need of funds, he says: "This is the worst famine Russia has known. No less than 20,000.000 . peeple distributed throughout the southeastern provinces cannot live without aid to see another harvest, v I may say that this figure has not ' only been approved by the zemstvos' organization, but by the government I "Funds will be needed to the end of July ' to feed all these millions and then the harvest will bring relief, but there are many hundreds of . thousands to whom the harvest will not bring relief, for they have nei' ther land nor cattle. The few cows ; that are in existence are in such a pitiful condition that they are useless far milking purposes. The result is that babies and young children are being forced to eat coajrse black bread and the indigestible young cucumbers which are luxuries to the aduits, but are death to the baby. ' These people have sold their .ail and in most cases have likewise sold in advance ail that the harvest might bring them. They have sold themselves and their worn, and from ail , over the southeastern provinces re ports are coming in of young women and girls forced to prostitute themselves to obtain food. For these suffering people, to whom the coming harvest means nothing, relief must be afforded during the whole of the coming year. Meanwhile epidemics of disease add terrible conditions." . Dr: Kennard makes an urgent appeal for tinned milk, meats and meat juices. He says: ! v * j "i have seen the zemstvo workers and investigated their methods aud can vouch lor it that the most is v made out of every farthing." \ : NOT ROOKY'S SKY PILOT. Rev. Aked, Who Resents Allegation, v Gives Out a Statement. Dr. Charles F. Aked, recently of Liverpool, England, the new pastor of Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, in xvw York, who astonished the popu lace by resenting being called John v D. Rockefeller's pastor, says tbat be "wants the workingmau and the shop girl to consider his church their home and that it is not in any way tainted ^ by the touch of Standard Oil millions. He has given out the following statev ment: "I want the shop girl and the working man io come to the Filth Avenue | Baptist Church. They will be welcome. It is not a millionaire's church. "Rockefeler is not officially connected with the Fifth Avenue Church. It isn't fair to the church to have Air. 1 Rockefeller's name associated with j . ;it all the time. It is a wonderful .church without Mr. Rockefeller. "My mission here is the ministry for reconciliation, not -exclusiveness." SOUTHERNERS SEEK TRADE. ! Party Sails to Investigate Conditions in Panama.

Four negro convicts who recently I escaped from the Durham coal mines* 1 at Pittsburg, Ga., entered the home ! I of J.. E. Denson, in Chattooga county, i Thursday afternoon, securing clothing ! and provisions and $50 in money. They j threw off their convict garb and put ] on some of the stolen ciothes. A posse J formed and chased them. They were overtaken in a patch of j woods, and the posse began firing j upon them. One convict was killed and two others wounded, perhaps fataiiy. The fourth convict escaped. The sheriff of Chaaooga county reached the scene after the shooting. This accounts for all of the nine 1 negroes who escaped from the Dur- j ham mine. Five were captured near | the mines, and only one is still at ! liberty. Xone of the three white escapes has been heard of since the twelve got away. The escape was effected by one of the negroes, a preacher named Sam Johnson, gaining pos- j , session of a key that unlocked a gate i to an abandoned wing of the mines. | The convicts then found a weak place, J in the top of the shaft, through which j they dug in a short time.

He reiterated his ! statement, but said the company would j give employment to all men who would I sign an affidavit that they were not members of a union and that they wouid work on the old scaie of wages. At the close of the day 61 strikers ! had signed these affidavits. They will ! be given employment as fast as room | can be made for them. | ILOILO IS FIRE-WHELMED. !

Fred Certia a MRS HENRY LEE Owing- to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful ! symptoms. This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her S3"stem is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers j and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as dense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizziness arc promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected.
