THE FAMINE m INDIA."
BY 'JUSTIN E. ABBOTT OF BOMBAY.
EIGHTEEN YEARS RESIDENT IN INDIA.
A famine the most wide Hprend ami severe of thin century now darkens
the whole of western and central India, mi men equal to New KiikIiiihI. New
York, New Jersey, Peiinsyhnnla, Ohio. Indlaiui, Illinois, Mleliljriin and Wis

the resourced of the people are exhausted. Along the highway. In lonely

passes, by Rtreaiu beds that give tin hope uf water, weak ami emaciated hu
man being, are falling and dying by hundreds dally, Croat number who
reach relief camps are past help, and the very food they ravenously eat kills
them. Children, orphaned or deserted, are picked up by scores as they wan
der. Terrible tales are told by eyewitnesses of these helpless little ones be
ing devoured by dogs and Jackal.
The cause of the famine Is the failure of the monsoon rains from June to
October last year. Tim farmer, who
number so per cent of the population,
were already Impoverished by the fam
ine of 1H!7. Expenditure of every kind
wu stopped; hence the laboring class
and artisan have had no work. The
I'.rltlsh government Is relieving the sit
uation by gratuitously feeding the In
linn, the aged, the emaciated and the
children. The ablcbodlwl are employ
ed on cash wages In building reser
voirs and Irrigation works, railway em
bankments, roads, etc., which will
greatly mitigate future famines. About
ti.niio.tioo are now in dally receipt of of
llclal relief. Connected with the camps
are hospital where those in the ex
tremes of emaciation are nursed back
to strength. The death rate I by far
the greatest III the native states where
government control Is least. Here,
however, the government Is asNlstlng
by loan of money anil of the services
of experienced olllier. Already the
authorities have spent $ IT.tino.ntiii.
With the failure of crop in the fam
ine area there began a How of grain
from other parts of India and other
countries. From Kurma alone there
was imported In ten months 427.000
tons of rice, worth .$"0,000,000. Mer
chants have carried grain everywhere,
and the price has remained fairly uni
form at a cost only twice that of ordi
nary years. There are millions of peo
ple, however, who have no money mid
no work. It x these .moneyless in 1-

Ill spite of all that can be done by the government there Is a vast Held for
the private charity now being so splendidly supplied by America, lirltiiin and
her colonies and various European countries. Doubtless the most elllcient
agency for distribution of this private benevolence 1 the body of several hun
dred American and European inllonaries located lu the famine districts,
whue experienced service are freely given to thi work of humanity.
Missionaries supplement olllclal efforts by alting as ninny as polble to
reach relief camp. Thoe too weak for the Journey, unprotected young wo
men, mother with children and deserted orphan, are given refuge and tender
