FOR JURY COMMISSIONER,
A. O. EBERHART.
MISS EMM A ANDERSON of Middlesex
twp., gives a vivid description of the
the. starving people of India, in her let
ter from that country, and she asks for
contributions of money, which can be
sent to 11s or any person agreed upon,
and which will be forwarded to her by
draft on the Bank of England.
People who have money to spare for
charity will perhaps find no more pro
per objects on Earth than exist today
in the central provinces of India; but
at the same time it seems strange to
Americans that the people of England,
who secured the gold and silver which
made them the commercial masters of
the world by robbing these same people
should now allow them to starve.
HARRISBURG.
The Governor has signed the bill re
quiring a Smull's band book to be plac
ed in each public school.
Bakeries are to be regulated by a bill
which passed last week. It provides
that no bake shop shall be compelled to
work more than 00 hours a week, and
prohibits working on Sunday, except
setting the "sponge;" also, that no per
son having consumption or a contagi-.
ous disease shall be employed in such
establishments.
A good deal of interest is manifested
all over Pennsylvania in the proposed
increase in the appropriation for Far
mers' Institutes. The sum appropriat
ed by the former Legislature for this
purpose was only $5,000 for two years.
It is now proposed to make the appro
priation for the next two years $12,000
and if the farmers show a united front
in the matter, they will get what they
ask.
A law for a new inheritance tax has
been placed on the statute-book of this
State. It provides for the taxation of
all direct inheritances of personal prop
erty exceeding $5,000 at the rate of 2
per cent. The law for the collection of
a collateral inheritance tax of 5 per
cent, remains unchanged. It applies to
all property thus inherited, real, per
sonal or mixed; but the new tax applies
only to personal property exceeding
$5,000 in value directly inherited. It is
estimated that this new tax will furnish
the State an annual revenue of from one
million to two million dollars, and this
will probably enable the the Treasurer
to meet all reasonable demands.
The bill supplementary to the pharma
cy act of 1887, regulating the practice
of pharmacy, passed the Legislature
last week, and, if. signed, will exclude
from the drug business every person
not holding a certificate of competency
from the State Board of Pharmacy.
The bill will also make it impossi
ble for any parties who have no certifi
cate to own a drug store, even though
they hire a certified manager. Another
object is to keep the drug business out
of the department stores, and to pre
vent infringment on the rights of duly
registered and qualified pharmacists.
That expense bill for the pretended
Lexowing of Philadelphia by the Sen
ate committee is, in popular parlance, a
dandy. For example, $34,000 is charg
ed for procuring witnesses, and the
stenographer asks a bagatelle of SIO,OOO,
as much as a Pennsylvania farmer could
save in ten years provided he didn't eat
a bite. The bill at the Hotel Walton is
is $5,912. A the rate of $5 per day this
would keep a man nearly 1,200 days at
this hotel, where it costs a man a cent
for every breath he draws. And the in
vestigators appear to have done nothing
but keep their breaths strengthened and
draw them regularly.
The Lexow expense bill passed the
Senate, Tuesday, by a vote of 28 to 11.
Meredith voted for it.
The House Tuesday began the night
sessions, to be held Tuesdays. Wednes
days and Thursdays during the balance
of the session. A message from the
Governor was read announcing his ap
proval of the following bills:
Repeal of the Greater Pittsburg bills;
requiring Grand Juries to dispose of the
cost- in criminal prosecutions for lar
ceny where the value of the goods is less
than $lO, and in the prosecutions for as
sault or assault and battery where felo
ny is charged and the prosecutor has no
reasonable ground for making the
charge; to allow the town council of a
consolidated borough to appoint one
street commissioner; for preservation of
forests and partially relieving forest
lands from taxation; punishing the send
ing of anonymous communications of a
libelous or scurrilous nature; to prevent
the adulteration of drugs and medical
preparations; to authorize boroughs to
make appropriations to establish free
public libraries; to provide for the main
tenance of indigent insane in county
and local institutions: authorizing the
recording of all releases, contracts, let
ters of attorney and other instruments
of writing, which a married woman "is
or shall be authorized by law to execute
without the joinder of her husband; re
lating to the prosecutions of licensed
dealers and their employes on the
charge of furnishing intoxicating liquor
to minors.
THE third rail electric railroad sys
tem was tested recently on the New
England tracks between Hartford and
New Britain, and it is a success. The
run of ten miles between New Britain
and Hartford was made in liH minutes
and with less jar than is ordinarily ex
perienced in the steam passenger trains.
Stretches of the route were covered
much faster than a mile a minute, and
the motor car was geared to 85 miles,
It is said that the new system will
largely supersede the locomotive

Latest Legislative Scandal.
Just as the proposal investigation of
the insurance bill scandal is in danger
of being abandoned, or taken behind
closed doors at Harrisburg. a new
scandal has broken out. This time it
is in connection with the mischievous
bill to prohibit municipalities from
erecting or operating electric light
plants without first purchasing the
plants of incorporated companies
which may have been chartered to sup
ply light in such municipalities. The
bill is monstrous in principle and it is
not wholly surprising that the charge
should be brought that it is backed by
a big corruption fund.
It is of the same class as the Woods
water works bill of last session, but of
much wider and more vicious applica
tion. The fact that necessary public
water supplies were, in some cases,
furnished at considerable expense to
towns temporarily without the civic
spirit to supply themselves and that
the valuable plants might be rendered
worthless by the snbsequent creation
ot municipal plants gave a color of excuse
to the water works bill. But that ex
cuse-never a good one —is wholly lack
ingin connection with the light bill.
Electric lighting plants are movable
property, cannot be rendered worthless
by municipal competition and should
under no circumstances have a monopo
ly franchise.
The effect of the proposed bill would
be to prohibit a municipality from es
tablishing a plant to light its own
buildings, unless it should first pur
chase the plant and good will of a
corporation engaged in the business of
supplying light jointly to the city and
private consumers. The proposition
would be ridiculous if there were not
serious threats of its enactment into
law. Take the city of Pittsburg for
example. Had this bill been enacted
last sesson Director Brown would have
been prohibited from letting a contract
for the light plant for the new safety
building, unless the city had first ar
ranged to buy the extensive .plant and
franchises of the Allegheny Lighting
Company. Philadelphia could not es
tablish a new plant to illuminate its
palace on Broad street without buying
out the dozen corporations in the un
savory light combination of that city.
Such a monstrous proposition would
hardly make a legislative appearance
without a "fund" behind it and cer
tainly any member who would vote for
it would fall under suspicion.—Pitts
burg Dispatch.
Who Holds the Tide.
Not long since the Review announced
on good authority that the Brady's Bend
Iron Co's. property, situated in Clarion,
Armstrong and "Butler counties com
prising in all some 6,000 acres,' would
be sold again soon. The correctness of
that assertion can be proved by a peru
sal of the Bth page of this issue, where
this property is advertised at sheriff's
sale for Saturday, June sth, at the court
house at Kittanning. The East Brady
lots are again included in the sale as
will be seen by "lot No. 57." This
means that half our town, beginning at
the alley at J. M. Brown's and extend
ing to Hardscrabble, is offered for sale
by the sheriff, with the exception of a
few lots named that were exempted. The
people who hold the deeds to these lots
haye had peaceable possession for over
21 years and are not unduly alarmed
over the matter, as their titles are good
and no bankrupt or corrupt organiza
tion that has been practically dead for
25 years will be able to take it from
them. It will rile some of our solid
ctizens to find their handsome proper
ties advertised by the sheriff, howeve.-,
and we believe it is a spectacle that is
not often witnessed of the half of a pros
perous town of about 1,500 inhabitants
being advertised for sale by the sheriff.
The main feature of the sale is highly
approved by every one, and it is the
hope that some man, company or cor
poration will be the purchaser that will
develop the property—and the purchas
er will have to do that to realize on the
investment. It is rich in minerals of
numerous kinds, the development of
which would be of untold value to this
place and vicinity. It has passed
through many vicissitudes but now we
have reason to think a change for the
better is coming. We at least know
that it cannot be any worse. —East Bra

A LETTER FROM INDIA.
f j AMERICAN MISSION*,
r \ (JURDASPCR. NORTH INDIA,
J APRIL 9th, 1597
. I To the citizens of my native county:
I DEAR FRIEXDS;— No doubt many of
j ! you have read something concerning
i i the famine in India, but 1 want you to
: j know something of the real condition of
4 things, and so through the kindness* of
. ! the editor of your paper, I shall tell you
. ! of a visit I made a very short time ago
, I to one of the stricken districts of India.
, At the meeting of our Ladies' Presby
. terial Missionary Society, at Paual
Purdi. March 10th, the Lord seemed to
lay it upon our hearts to do something
5 very decided for the sufferers -especialy j
F for the orphan children. Miss White j
and 1 offered to go down country and
see for ourselves the condition of things: j
: so we were appointed by the society to
do so. and were also to bring home some
orphan children, if we found any in
' in need.
- We had expected to go down as far as
: Jabbalpore. but when we reached A 1
[ lahabad we learned that the Govern
ment had forbidden orphans to betaken
1 away from the Central Provinces, and
' that cholera had also broken out down
there, and that in the District of Fateh
pur there was great want.
So we turned about and came back <2
miles to --Petahpnr, but liefore leaving
Allahabad we visited the different mis
i sionaries. who had been caring for the
hungry, and learned all we could how
to proceed. .
Rev. Clancy of the M. E. Mission had
cared for about children, and had
about 120 under his care when we call
ed upon him. The others after having
l>een fed by him for sometime had been
sent to the" different missionary orphan
ages.
The eyes of this kind hearted mission
ary filled with tears as he told us of the
condition of the poor little children. He
had begun without anv money, and the
Lord had provided for all he had taken
in, and he was going ahead gathering
in all he could.
The village people are the greatest
sufferers. The famine has been caused
by lack of rain; the fields that at other
tunes brought abundant harvests of
splendid wheat, are either lying waste
or dried up for want of water, and the
farmers have eaten all they had in store
have either sold or butchered their
cattle: given their land or whatever
they had, and are now left without food
or money. Many think that there is
still plenty of wheat in India,but wheth
er this is the case or not.the people who
need it have no money to buy it. and
thev are starving. The Government of
India is doing much for the people, and
it has been said that no one need die
for there is enough for all, but we know
that people are dying and that in many
cases what has been provided by the
Government fails to reach those for
whom it was intended. To enable you
to understand more clearly what I want
you to take from this. I shall give you
a few facts, as I got them from a mis
sionary at Fatehpnr. This district has
been declared a famine one, and stands
third in distress of all the famine dis
tricts —Jhansi and Bauda coming in be
fore it.
The missionary had visited about -Jo
villages around about the city of Fateh
pnr and found the condition of things
terrible. In a village, say of 300 people,
on careful inquiry he found that from
20 to 80 people had already died of ac
tual starvation- Many do not hesitate
to put the death rate at 10 per cent, of
the whole population.
It is hard to get at the number of
deaths among the children. They are
the greatest sufferers. A man or wo
man will lie down when he gets hungry
but a child begins to wander. (Jo in
any direction vou will, the missionary
said, and you will pick up little boys
and girls who are either on the hunt, or
have fallen in their tracks from fatigue
or starvation. A very large proportion
of the inmates of poor houses, or relief
works, as well as all the Mission Com
pounds are children.
Although the missionary in making
up his minutes, is very careful, still they
are far higher than government reports.
Every officer wants to be regarded as
faithful and competent. Those districts
that are declared famine districts may
draw from relief funds any amount of
money that is needed, so. except for the
difficulty in administering those funds,
no one need die.
In a district there so many police cir
cles. and while I was there, the police
officer, who is an Englishman, told me
that when he reported the death rate
from famine to his superior officer, who
is a Mohammedan, that he was told to
change the number,and put a large pro
portion of those who had died of starva
tion, as dying of fever, etc. This, the
man said, he refused to do, but promis
ed to be more careful in the future in
regard to details. The government lias
established poor houses, and relief
works all over the distiict.
The people report that the attendants
jerk off their tickets and turn them out.
The tickets are tied onto to the necks of
the inmates and the names recorded in
a book. Well, after lie is recorded the
attendants pull the ticket off, and the
policeman in charge finds him without
a ticket, turns him out and the poor
house keepers are drawing for the origi
nal number. It would be hard to prove
this in an Indian court—though quanti
ty of evidence is not wanting. Near
one of the poor houses is a mango or
chard. Two of J the missionaries, while
out looking up starving people.blunder
ed into the place, and there saw num
bers of skeletons toni limb from limb
by jackals,most of them had died with
in the week or so, because the brains
were still inside the skull. These peo
ple, no doubt, had been in the poor ;
house and were not reported dead, and :
are supposed to be yet alive enjoying
poor house bill of fare at Government
expense. Now, the missionary who re
ported these things to me. was not rail
ing on the Government. He said. "No 1
Government ever done so much.no Gov
ernment ever had such a task." Oh. it i
is no easy matter to deal with such a
famine in a heathen land, with the dense
population that we find here. The mis
sionaries in the different places are do
ing what they can, and I shall now tell
you how the missionaries, where we
were, cared for all who would come.
In the first place they did not care for >
any one until their knees were the big
gest part of the legs. Tliev cared for all
alike, and indeed very few thought of
! their caste, but in order to be careful
I that none might say that the missiona
ries had used the famine to make Chris
I tiaus of people, those who would rather
' have money than food were given that. <
| but most of them wanted food. Quite
a number of the women who were able
I to cook, were given the place, and in
this way earned their living, others as
! they became strong enough were put to
I grinding the wheat. The boys were
1 taught to serve the food. When we
I reached Fatepur, about 120 were being j
j fed by the missionary there, anil during
j the week we remained the number in
creased to almost 200.
| They were fed twice a day—about
■ noon and about 8 o'clock in the evening
I This is the custom of the natives. All
were made to sit in a circle on the
ground,and each one received a cup full j
of pulse or rice, and from one to three j
native. i.'akv's made from what we call j
Graham flour.* This wasj njucb as j
they would have provided for them
seves in times of plenty; many were so
starved that they would have asked for •
j more if they had not been warned that i
if anyone complained, part or all of i
what had already been received would !
iiavw tfi given up. This was the only j
way they could be quiet;\ controlled ;
They had all to wait until the serving ;
j was done and a blessing asked,and then '
! I am sure you would have enjoyed see- !
i ing those starved people eat. Many of j
| the people we saw were so starved that !
' yon cou'd count every bone and joint!
!in then" Often they were too]
i weak to walk. Soiu« juat la/ sti:pid j
, Nothing but sight of food would arouse |
j them. I visited several Government j
poor h'juses. In one 1 saw a sight which :
I think I shall remember as long as I
live. Having visited the different
; wards, where hundreds of men, women
; and cliiijlreii >-ere being fed. we came
i to the hospital in connection nitL Ui f , ■
1 poor house, where the siek and very bad '
cases of starvation are cared for. There
were about fifty people there. It al
most makes me shudder yet when I
think of how some of those people look
ru ..lis, -■? i»'ked. poor as they could lie
i and that to* about
the eyes and mouth, which only com en
with starvation. I said to my com pa n- !
i ion, 1 cau realize as never before what
1 some of onr brave soldier boys came
i through during their imprisonment the
; time of the war. Near the center of
| the yard lay two little girls, aged about
: 10 and 12. nothing on them bnt nature's
I own covering, so spent by famine thit
1 all flesh was gone Yon wondered how
; their little bones held together. Yon
■! could connt the joints of the back-bjne
,! through the skin in front. The abdo
, | men having disappeared —leaving the
! skin clinging to the bones of the back—
' indeed unless I had seen the sight with
| my own eyes, I could not have believed
! it possible" for a human l>eing to become
iso jHX)r and still live. The poor little
! things were almost free from suffering,
j I was very much stirred up by what 1
; had already seen- and this a.vfnl sight
; was just more than I could endure and
i I wept over them like a child. A poor
starving mother, with her little, thin
babe in arms, seeing that 1 felt sorry for
these girls said to me, "They have no
one." She was sitting between them,
and was kept the swarm or tiies away
from their faces, and tried to cover them
them with an old dirty rag. I loved
her because she was doing what she
could for those little motherless child
ren.
As I turned away from that place of
suffering from lack of food, I think I
felt more humble and unworthy than
ever before—more thankful for ihe dai
lv supply of food with a determina
tion. dear friends, to nse my pen in be
half of the suffering people of this land.
One little orphan girl had come to me
just after 1 entered the poor house, and
slipping up behind me put her arm
around my waist and followed me all
around. I felt sure she had come from
some place where missionary ladies had
been working. She asked me to take
her away, but I had to tell her I could
not, but, oh, how I wished that she
only knew enough to run away and
come to me.
The keeper of the poorhouse is a
hard hearted Mohammedan and seeing
the child was attracted toward me he
was very careful not to leave us alone,
so I had no chance to talk to the child,
may God save that helpless child from
a life worse than death from starvation.
We have heard of dreadful things in
connection with traffic in famine girls,
but we cannot get hold of these things,
but one thing we do know, that very
few girls are to be found either in poor
houses, relief works or on mission Com
pounds and while there is no lack of
men, women and boys, the question can
not help but come, where are the girls?
But my letter is growing two long and
I must hasten to tell you of our collec
tion of l>oys a..,l the homeward trip.
We could not take those who were very
much reduced, nor those who were sick
so many of them get sick when they
get food, we did not want any but or
phans, so we picked out about thirty
five, put tickets around their necks, as
soon as the children knew that
we wanted children every body wanted
to go to the Punjab although few. if
any of them had any idea where the
place was. Several who were thought too
large pleaded so hard that they won
t'he day, until our number swelled to
forty We got unbleached muslin and
clothed them without the help of needle
or thread. Having secured reduced
rates and a special genana car, third
class, we started at midnight with our
children. The children had been put
in the car early in the evening and
most of them were sleeping when we
came to start.
A third class car has few accommoda
tions. Jast board seats reaching across
the short way of the car. The children
did not know how to use even what ac
commodations they did find and so
often it was not very pleasant to lie in
the same car; but as we had lots of
time at the stations, we kept things in
pretty good order, by calling in the
water man with his goat skin of water
and the sweeper with his red broom and
the two working together on seats and
floor made the place inhabitable.
We expected to be about sixty hours
on the way, so had provided about <SOO
native cakes and a hundred loaves of
white bread, and several pounds of raw
sugar,
Our children were much interested
in all they saw along the way. It was
a new thing for them to be riding on
the train. They were remarkably good
and quiet to have l>een gathered in so
recently from the jungle. The people
along the way were interested in them.
And before they reached Ranal Pinde
w here they are now. they had received
several treats of sweets. One man
wanted one of the l>oys for a brother
who had no children, he was told to
send down to Allahabad and get fifteen
or twenty for himself. In due time we
reached the end of our journey and I
have since heard from the boys and
girls that they are getting along all
right. I must not forget to tell you
that one of the little boys we brought
was called by the missionaries "Cactus"
because his mother had twisted his
neck, arms and legs, and left him to
die in a cactus hedge near the mission
house in Allahabad. He was gathered
up and a hundred and thirty thorns
taken from his little starved body, his
neck braced up by the kind lady doctor,
and was doing nicely.
And now my friends why have 1
written yon all this? Have you already
guessed the reason? It is because I
want you to help the famine sufferer in
this land.
God has so abundantly blessed so
many in Butler county that yon might
give your hundreds and not miss it,
and I want all to have a part. I want
even' one who reads these lines to send
me something, be it ever so little and
I think the best way for you to do this
will l.v for VQII to send yftnr money to
the editor of your paper, and I am sure
he will gladly acknowledge all gifts
and send them on to me and I shall
send them to the missionaries who are
feeding the starving. God has so
abundantly blessed our land I think we
should all be ready to help those in dis
tress. If any one would rather send
their contribition direct to me, ask
your banker to give you a draft on the
bank at London and send it on to me.
The postage to India is five cents. My
address you will find at the beginning
of this letter.
I am sure all my friends will be glad
to know lum well and very happy in
my work for the Master.
Y ours sincerly,
EMMA DEAN ANDERSON.

GEORGE W MILLER
Hon. George W. Miller, of Washing
ton. Pa., died at his home in that place,
on Monday last, aged alMint 12 years.
Mr. Miller when a young man lived in
Butler, his mother and her family re
siding for some years in a house which
stood about where the Opera House
now stands. They removed to Washing
ton county about I*4o. George became
a prominent citizen there and repre

of the State for a number of years. He
was Marshal for the Western district
of Pennsylvania under the first term of
President Cleveland. 18*5 to 1889.
There are perhaps not half a dozen
people in Butler now who knew or re
member him. The writer of this was a
schoolmate and a playmate with him
in the thirties and has kindly recollec
tions of his friendly character and gen
erous qualities. We regret to learn of
his passing away and bear this tribute
to the uiemcry - of one of the very
earliest and best companions of youth
and whose friendship endured through
life.
