DENVER, Col, March 26.—The Denver chamber of commerce has indorse:t the sug- gestion for a national gold producers’ con- Vention to be held in Denver, Mr. 1. N Stevens, vic I si ver party national committee; H. M. Jerol- man and T. J. Underhill were named as committee to arra re THE FAMINE IN INDIA Congress Aske to Pay for the Transporta- tion of Wheat. Memorial Presented to Congress— Preparations for Sending Ves- sels Over the Pacific. A memorial was presented in the Senate today signed by representatives of a number of Christian and humanitarian organizations asking an appropriation of $50,000 to pay for the transportation of wheat and other provisions donated in this country for the relief of the famine suf- ferers in India. Wheat and corn have been donated for this purpose by a number of the largest grain-producing states and pro- visions have been made for sending one or two vessels from the Pacific coast. The object of this memorial is to secure the ald of the government in sending one or two vessels loaded with grain from an At- lantic seaport. Accompanying the memorial is a printed description of the condition of the famine- stricken country. In this connection it is said: The secretary cf state for India, I«rd George Hamiltcn, gives the following information: “Fhe area affected by fam- ine now comprises 160,000 square miles with a population of 36,000,000 people, and the area visited by scarcity amounts to 121,000 square miles with a population of 44,000,000 people. The Indian government at the time cf meeting was spending 100,- 000 rupees a day on relief works. “The Indian government will probably be called on to spend from £6,000,000 to £10,000,000 sterling. The Iflustrated London News of March 29 states: “The Mansion House fund to relieve the distress of the Indian famine S received subscriptions to the amount of £378.00). The viceroy’s report for last week states the number of people on gov- ernment relief Lists at 3,141,000." In the North American Review of March Sir Edwin Arnold, K.C.LE., C.S.1., states that the deaths in connection with the fam- ine are likely to be reckoned by the lakh (100,000)—perhaps by the crore (10,000,000). The need for relief will remain large until autumn crops are reaped in September. The number of destitute men, women and children whose mouths must be filled will mount to millions. The United States government has au- therized the Secretary of the Navy to fur- nish transportation for one shipload of grain from San Francisco to India. This grain is now being collected by the San Francisco chamber of commerce and the Christian Herald of New York Tne entire cargo for the vessel is in sight, and Dr. Louis Klopsch has advanced the amount necessary to move the last con- signment of corn from the inland western states to the Pacific seaboard. There is already In sight a large surplusage of corn offerings from various western states, and the miadle west, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, ete., as well as ‘states further east, have made voluntary tenders of corn for the purpose of sending to India, which ten- ders will, in the aggregate, amount tc thousands of tons. One offer alone—from Kansas—is of eighty thousand bushels of old corn. Many other offers of lesser quantities have been made. and these can on brief notice be realized, and the corn skipped to the nearest port—preferably New York—for transportation to India. ne leading railroad companies have ten- dered free transportation up to a certain amount, beyond which they have signitied their willingness to scale rates to a mini- mum. If all the tenders of corn are ac- cepted, there will be enough to make sev- eral cargoes, and in view of the famine prices and scarcity of cereals in India it is beheved that immense advantage would result from the bringing of cargoes to In- dia at the present time. If the United States government would furnish trans- portation for these cargoes the corn wouid be sent to India and distributed by the American missionaries within two months from date of this application. 2 THE INAUGURAL SURPLUS. Chairman Bell Calls a Mecting of the Committee for April 2. Chairman Charles J. Bell has determined to call a meeting of the inaugural execu- tive committee to settle the few details re- lating to the recent celebration that have not yet been attended to, and to consider what disposition shall be made of the sur- plus, amounting to between $,000 and $7,000, which was left in the inaugural funds after all the experses were paid. The meeting will be held at the American Security and Trust Company building Fri- Gay night. April 2. at 7:30 o'clock, and it wfll probably be the last official gathering of the gentlemen who made the Inausura- tion of President McKinley such a splendid success. There will probably be consider- able discussion over the disposition of the surplus. early every association and institution whose character is in the slightest degree eleemosynary has applied for the surplus as a whole or a portioa of it, and the central relief committee at a receut meeting ap- pointed a subcommittee to wait upon the inaugural committee at the coming meeting and endeavor to have the latcer body ap- propriate the surplus to the central relief committee and the Associated Charities, A quiet but very strong movement is in progress to prevail upon the inaugural committee to add the present surplus to the centennial inaugural fund, which resulted from the surplus eight y ago and which is invested by the District and yields over $1,40 a year to the police fund. eee LUSBY GCES TO JAIL. Another Oleomargarine Dealer Sub- mits to Punishment. Wm. 0. Lusby, who was convicted last spring of violating the oleomargarine laws, by selling the stuff as and for butter, and without the required special license, sur- rendered himself to Marshal Wilson this afternoon for the purpose of submitting to the sentences imposed upon him by Judge Cole, the United States Supreme Court hav- ing dismissed his application for release from the enforcement of the penalties. In the first case Lusby was sentenced to three hours’ imprisenment in jail, and to pay a fine of $40 and $28.75 costs, being sentenced in the second case to pay.a fine of $1) and $25 costs. After paying the marshal 75, the amount of the fines and costs, Lusby was committed to jail to serve his term of imprisonment. He will be released from jail about 5 o'clock this afternoon. It is understood that Israel C. Kollock, sentenced to three hours’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of $400 and $20.50 costs in one case, and a fine of $100 and 5 coets in another, will surrender himself to the marshal tomorrow for ihe purpose of sub- mitting to the sentences impused by Judge Cole upon him last spring. At the same time, it is said that Samuci J. McCaully, convicted last summer of selling the stuff without the special 1! cense, and sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and $28.50 costs, will also submit to the sentence. pdissS abl = The Money Was Gone. A young colored man by the name of Scott, who is employed as a bell boy at the Shoreham, reported this morning that he had been robbed of $54. Scott is em- ployed on the night force and claims tha: when he went on last night he left that amount of money in the pocket of his coat bung in his locker, and when he went to get it this morning the money was gone. ae ate If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

CHICAGO, March 26.—Elizabeth Paulson, aged eightecn years, is dead from the ef- fects of fright. Such is the opinion of tie attending physician, and the coroner's jury so found after listening to his testimony and that of the family Miss Paulson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter -Pauison. She was a comely young woman and was the special care of her parents, although there were sons and other daughters in the little household. Friday evening Elizabeth and a younger sister, Thora, were alone with their moth- er, when the two girls went to their rooms to retire. They took no lght with them, for their chamber was but a step from the living rooms. ‘Thora found occasion to go back to the other part of the house and left sister for a moment. An instant later a hiful scream came from the room and lizabeth reshed out, calling piteously for help. Mrs. Paulson came to her assistance, but it was some time before the girl could speak plainly enough fer her mother to un- derstand the cause of her sudden terrcr. At length she was able to say there was a strange man in her room. By this time other inembers of the family nad arrived and joined in making an investigation of the room. To everybody's surprise, noth- ing cf a man could be found more nearly than a woman's cloak and hat which hung on the wall in a position where the light from a neighboring gas lamp cast a strange shadow, and this was what Miss Paulson had seen and was the cause of her terror. For the time the matter was taken by the family as a good joke. However, all the efforts to calm the girl proved futile and her condition became serious. She seemed to be in a constant condition of terror and nothing could relieve her of the frightfal vision. Symptoms of epilepsy developed, the periods of unconsciousness grew more protracted dally, and yesterday she died. Speaking of the strange case, the attend- ing physician saic “There seems to be no doubt Miss Paul- son's death was caused by fright. She was of a nervous disposition.” Mr. Paulson, the father of the young girl, said: “I have no doubt they are right in saying that she was scared to death.” Rev. H. N. Dunning Il. SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., March 26.— Rev. Homer N. Dunning, a well-known author and Congregationalist minister, who has been seriously ill at his home here for several we is now in a critical con- diticn, and the attending physicians do not expect that he will survive the day. Rev. Mr. Dunning is a native of Brookfield, Conn., and was born in 1824. One of his Jatest works was the putting into English of the Nibelungen Lied. He was also the author of a poetical paraphrase of the book of Job and of valuable papers on the lives of the Greck poets. Found a Headless Body. CHICAGO, March 26.—The headless body of a man was found by employes at the Dunning poor house, while they were clean- ing out a catch basin on the poor house premises, last evening. From all appear- ances the remains had been in the Wasin for more than a year. It is thought that the body was that of some inmate of the reor house whe wandered to the spot, and elther committed suicide or accidentaily fell into the catch basin. Time has ren- dered identification impossible. The frag- ments of clothing indicated, the authori- tles said, that the man was not a pauper. —— Against Capital Punishment. DENVER, Col., March 26.—The state senate has passed the Engly bill, providing for the abolition of capital punishment. The bill recently passed the house, and now only waits the governor's signature. —_— Duel Fatal to Both, PLYMOUTH, Ind., March 26.—During a fight at Lapaz last night between Jacob Leeds and Blanchard Thomas, Leeds was fatally stabbed and Thomas was shot and instantly killed. ————— Resigned Because of Overwork. NEW YORK, March 26.—William Dulles, who for eight years has been treasurer of the Presbyterian Church board of foreiga missions, has resigned on account of the excessive strain his work entailed. Mine Owners Threatened. LEADVILLE, Col., March 26.—John F. Campion end other prominent mine man- agers have received letters signed “The Committee,” threatening to blow up their mines unless they immediately discharge all union workmen. The letters have caused considerable uneasiness, although in some quarters they are believed to have been sent as a practical joke. The managers will pay no heed to the warning. Z ——_—_ C.D. Nash, founder of the National Ex- change Bank of Milwaukee, and one of the founders of the Northwestern Mutual In- surance Company, and a widely-known financier, is dead.

In an article describing “The Social Life of the President,” in the April Ladie: Home Journal, ex-President Harrison tel of the fatigues of handshaking, and, also, of the benefits of being brought in contact with the good, honest-hearted people of the ceuntry.- “In the first two weeks of an ad- ministration,” he says, “the President shakes hands with from forty to sixty thousand persons. The physical drain of this is very great, and if the President is not an Instructed handshaker a lame arm ard a swollen hand soon result. This may be largely, or entirely, avoided by using President Hayes’ method—take the hand extended to you and grip it before your hand is gripped. It is the passive hand that gets hurt. It has been suggested that a nod or bow should be substituted for the handshake, but it would be quite as admis- sible to suggest a revision of the Declara- tion of Independence. ‘The interest which multitudes attach to a handshake with the President is so great that people will en- dure the greatest discomfort and not a lit- tle peril to life or limb to attain it. These are not the office seekers, but the good, honest-hearted, patriotic people whose ‘Goc bless you’ is a prayer and a benediction. They come to Washington for the inaugura_ tion, and later with excursions, but they are mostly to be found near their own homes. They come ont to meet the President when he takes a journey, and his contact with them and their unselfish and even affection- ate interest in him revive his courage and elevate his purposes. Mr. Lincoln is said to have called these popular receptions his ‘public-opinion baths.’ Dinz the Man. Chas, F, Lummis in Harper's for April. A man of five feet wight, erect as the Indian he is dispropcrtionately confounded with,quickes the Iberain he far more nearly is, a fine agreement of unusual physical strength and still more unusual grace, with the true Indian trunk and the muscular European limbs, Diaz is physically one man in 20,000. The single infusion’ $f aborigina! blood (and that at the Kégiining of this century) is an inheritancé‘muth more visi- ble in his figure than in ni fale. ‘There are young and old men everywhere, but this is the freshest’ veteran in my knowledge. By the lithe stép, the fine ruddy skin whose capillaries have not yet learned to clog or knot, by the keen, full eye, or the round, flexible volte, it seems a palpable absurdity to pretefd that this man has counted ‘not ‘only | sixty-seven years, but years of supreme Stress. If in forty of them he ever knew & comforting certainty, it must have heen by faith and not by sight; for from Boyhdod to middle life his face was always against over- whelming odds. = It might be rash to lug ‘fnto €ny compari- son the iron chancellor, but of actual rulers, republican or dyrfastic¢, there cer- tainly is not another—if there may have heen cne—so “posted” as the man of Mexi- co. Off-hand, without hesitation and with accuracy (as I have often been at pains to verify), he gives whatsoever Getatl is de- sired of whatsoever branch of government. He {3 more ready than the contractors themselves as to the men and money using in some great work. The commanders of the military zones can tell you (in twice the words) as much each of his own scope as Diaz can tell you of the entire field. The superintendent of education in a dis- trict may be as informative (if you give him time) about the schools in his charge as the creator of the Mexican public school system {s about the districts en masse. It is an open secret-in the capital that the President frequently worsts his ministers in their own fields. And—a genuine test of breadth—he is noi afraid to say, “I do not know.” He ventures no inion in things he bas not measured, gis C ONDENSED Locats| Chief Justice Bingham has designated Justice of the Peace Charles F. Scott to preside in the Police Court in the absence of the judges of that court. The order will continue in effect until the 1st of January next. John Edward Todd has applied to the Equity Court for a change of name. He states that while an infant he was adopted by Samuel Beall, becoming known by that name, which name he desires authority to assume. Manager David Towers of the Ice Palace several months ago was injured while rid- ing a bicycle near 9th and U streets. He claimed that his machine struck an open manhole at that point, and in a suit filed by him against the Metropolitan Railroad Company he demanded $1,000 damages. The case was disposed of yesterday in Circuit Court No. 2, Mr. Towers being awarded $750 damages. Allen Thurman, colored, twelve years of age, living at 709 Grant avenue, fell from the fence at the Garnet School about 3 e'clock yesterday afternoon, fracturing his right leg. He was removed to Freedman’s Hospital in the eighth precinct patrol wa- gon for treatment. At a congregational meeting of the mem- bers of the Gurley Memorial Presbyterian Church held last evening Mr. H. C. Pow- ell _was elected a ruling elder for three years. No. 3 engine company responded to a local alarm shortly before 7 o'clock last evening for a fire in the boiler room of the B. and O. Railroad Company, corner of North Capitol and C streets. The fire w2s caused by a snark from the smokestack. The damage did not exceed $15. Clarence Robinson, charged with having carnal knowledge of Mary Stoddard, a girl urder sixteen years of age, was held in $200 tor the action of the grand jury by Judge Miller. The case of Miss Bessie Stacey, who is charged with the larceny of jewelry from various stores, which was set for trial to- day, was again postponed by Judge Miller until Monday next, at the request of Pros- ecutor Mullowney. James E. Bryant oi Paducah, Ky., has filed a bill in equity here against Henry C. Bliss and others, praying for the parti- tion of lots 19 and 20, square 172, of the estate of the late Edmund Brvant. The cemplainant is represented by Attorneys O. B. Hallam and Chas. K. Wheeler.
