Starved to Death. Sedalia Democrat. Amidst the hundreds ef beautiful | church buildings, and within sound | ofthe great organs and classic choirs, under the shadows ot the gray old steeples and in sight of the silvery chimes ; lying where her moans conld | almost reach the ears ot the Master’s servitors—a respecsable woman died jast week, ot starvation, in the city of St. Louis. Her name had tre- quently appeared in the newspapers asthat of a worthy, destitute and sick woman, whose two little girls were trying to subsist upon what the gutters exuded. The roem where the mother died contained onlv a sewing machine—over whose grind- ing whirls her hte hadjbeen expend- ed in the terrible fight for bread— and in one corner a palet of straw. Through the long weary mghts ot solitude delirium, unattended save by the curly-headed, brown- eyed beauties who slept the sweet sleep of innocence, the good woman sobbed and prayed for succor, that never came. ‘The authorities neg- lected her; the great preachers over- looked her; the churches heeded not her call; the sewing societies and la- dies’ associations were to busily en- gaged in preparing comfert for the citizens of Timbuctoo to heed the cry of distress from their own door- steps. Andso the horrible days crept by. In that great city no hand was outstretched to the starving wo- man, and the charity ot the One who went about doing good, found no practice in all the gathering throngs. Among the hundreds of kind-heart- ed, Christian ladies whe sat in their cushioned pews last Sunday and looked out from silks and satins up- on the wershipers, not one remem- bered the wretched woman whe ap- pesled tor bread and for the life of her two little girls. In a city of half a million people, she tound no min- istering angel to coel her fevered face, or to lift one glass ot water to her parching lips, or to smeoth the death damp from har brow; not one who was willing to give her a crumb of bread, or to comfort her in ner final hours. Even Dives, clothed in his purple and fine linen, and taring sumptuously every day, fed the dogs that came to his table; but in the city of Si. Louis, a poor, respectable and worthy woman was permitted te starve to death, with the knowledge and consent of all the people. and “Alas, for the rarity Of Christian charity!” This didn’t happen in_ benighted Africa, or Mohammedan Egypt, or savage Patagonia, but in the chief city of the great State of Miussoun, where civilization and_ refinement and christianity preva:l in all their beauty. Itis a blot upon the fair gscutcheon of St. Louis. Cruelly deserted by her husband, who was ence a prominent physician, this wo- man gathered up the thread of life and went forth to battle for her chil- dren. The pittances she wrung from the grinding masters for whom she bowed herself day and night over cruel machine, kept her in food for atime, and as long as strength last- ed she was happy in the sunshine of her children’s love and presence; but toil and privation did their work at last, and a fever stretched her helpless upon a pallet, from which She cred eut in vain to the wealth, the christianity and the culture of magnificent city. And then she died! .“*Starved to death!’* was what the newspapers said next morn- ing; and the christian bankers sighed and thought it was a great pity; and H the preachers said it was and passing strange ; and Women whispered it among them shocking selves and then went out ii Carriages: to another **high. tea.”’ And that day tae emaciated bedy .af the wretched, neglected woman was carted off to the Potter’s Field, where her life’s sad lnstory was for- ever ended. *‘Dead, my lords and gentlemen! And dying thus around us every dav.”” 4 General Stampede. Never was such a rush made for any D-ug | Store as is now at F. M. Crumley & Co., tor a Trial Bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis- | covery Colds.
