DRAINING INDIANS LIFE BLOOD
Canadian , Writer Holds England
Responsible for Ten Million
Doatha.
The Rev. J. T. Sunderland of Toronto
has written a book In which he finds the.
mother country guilty of "draining the
vory life" from at least one of her chil
dren. In India 10,000,000 human beings starved
to death during a single decade of last
century. That number Is said to be twice
as great as the total of the victims of all
the wars in the world during the 107 years
from 1793 to 1900 a, period which included
the Napoleonic! wars and the war of tha
rebellion.
The famines, so-called, which caused this
appalling mortality have been commonly
attributed to the failure of rain. Mr.
Sunderland disputes this.
lie says that-. In. on famine year, 1877,
there was the enormous rainfall of sixty
six Inches, in IStio-s, another famine year,
tha rainfall was sixty Inches. , In 1800.lt
ranged from twenty to fifty-two inches.
As tha English average ia only forty Inohes
and the Scotch only thirty inches, Mr.
Sunderland says tha rainfall ' Cannot be
blamed for the famines.
In fact, he asserts, that they are not
really famines, anyway. The export of food
grains during even the worst of these years
seemed to prove that there Is never a time
when India does not produce enough food
for all Its millions of Inhabitants. The
trouble is that the people haven't the
money to pay for It.
"It Is a famine of money and not of food,"
says Mr. Sunderland, and this famine be
lays to the following causes:
1. A people deprived of self-protection in
trade, commerce and industries. .
Z. Heavy taxation.
I. A government by foreigners.
4. Heavy military expenditures.
5. The destruction of native manufactures.
6. The drain of wealth to Great Britain.
This drain la variously estimated at from
3.000,000 to 30,000,000 a year. The taxa
tion, according to Income, ia three times
that of the English and four times that of
the Scotch.
The average yearly Income in England Is
said to be MM shillings. This is thirty times
the average Income of the people of India.
In Great Britain an average of 4 a per.
son is spent on liquors. This Is two and a
half times as much aa the people of India
have to spend on Joed, drink, clothing,
fuel, education, recreation, religion, medi
cine everything! Not much chance to save
up for time of need.

In connection with Mr. Sunderland's book.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal la

Charcoal Is a remedy that tha mora yon

other odorous vegetables.
I Charcoal effectually clears aad Improves

safe cathartic

In tha stomach and bowels; it disinfects tha
mouth and throat from the poison of
catarrh.
I All druggtata sell charcoal In on form or
another, but probably the best charcoal
and tha most for the money Is In Stuart s
Charcoal Losenges; they art composed of
j the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and

That wc Americans are a laughter loving
people and as easily amused as children has
been th comment of every visitor to thee
shores who has recorded his Impressions.
The house of representatives Is an excellent
place to have th Impression verified. Evun
the sacrosanct precincts of th senate are
not impregnable against an occasional soft
chuckle. But the house almost may be said
to conduct even its most serious business in
a gale of laughter. The members seek and
find humor In the driest of topics. Mr. Hep

shock of hair, "a white buttoned mandarin"
and the veracious Record chronicles "loud
laughter." The galleries become Infected
with the name spirit of levity and cue.
tomarily, whether they understand the situ
ation or not, join In each outburst until the
heavy rapping of the speaker's gavel1 re
stores order.
Sometimes it is difficult to understand the
subtlety of the humor that amuses congress.
It Is on enduring record the other day that
laughter followed Senator Tillman's remark
to Senator Bpooner: "I love to set you law
yers by the ears snd then watch you pull
one another's wool." The stranger among
us who heard the tribute paid to that re
mark as a mirth provoker must have been
strongly Impressed with the ease wAh which
our rislbles are tickled. One can more
easily understand why anything said by
Senator Allison that even remotely bordered
on the frivolous should excite the mirth of
his colleagues. Senator- Hoar of Massa
chusetts and a host of others have borne
testimony to the Invariable gravity and
solemnity of the Iowa senator's demeanor
Mr. Hoar said In his autobiography that
he never knew what Allison did with him'
self when he was not studying his favorite
topic of government finance; that he ap
parently had no othe.r occupation and no
amusements.
Mr. Allison Is notoriously the most cau
tious of men. It Is said of him that he has
never made a direct statement without
saving qualifications. A little while ago,
Just before Christmas, he was discussing
one day on the floor of the senate an
emergency appropriation and said: "It Is
an appropriation that the senate In its dls
cretion ought to pass before the Christmas
holidays. I mention that Incidentally, as 1
suppose we shall have Christmas holidays."
The outbursts of laughter that followed ap.
parsntly amaxed Mr. Allison, for Jie added;
"We, usually Jiave, but I have heard no
suggestion as .to, the -time fixed for 'the
holidays.'' ' ' - '- .
Mr. Sullivan's warml expressed belief that
'You. cannot legislate morality Into a board
cf directors of high finance sitting In Walll
street any more, than you legislate thirst
out of a clttsen of Iowa or Kansas or
Maine." was received with laughter. Mr.
Harrlman's comment before the Armstrong
committee that Mr. Odall got Ms political
Influence "through his influence with me
was amusing to the members of the house
when repeated in the course of a debate
It should have flattered Mr. Harrlman that
th representatives 'took him at his own
valuation aa a humorist.

impassioned harangue on the recent dis
closure of conditions at the naval academy.

"That Is hasing."
The Interjection took all the snap out of
Mr. Simms' eloquence.
John Sharp Williams' home truth that
"the country is tired of you republicans
over ther on that aide of the chamber and
afraid of us on this side" was the cause of
"great laughter and applause."
Many times the stories told on the floor
are like the familiar fares of dear old
friends. For example, Mr. Fordney of
Michigan has put this one In enduring
form for the delectation of future ages
"A story Is told of my friend the gentle
man from New Tork (Mr. Payne) when
young man practicing law. There was an
old darky in his (own that was accused of
stealing chickens. He looked around and
finally found the gentleman from New
Tork, who was willing to undertake his de
fense. When he came into Court the Judge
said to the darky: 'Are you the defendant
In this case?' The darky didn't exactly un
derstand what was meant, but he said
No, Judge.' Pointing to the gentleman from
New Tork. he said: 'That Is the defend
ant; I am the man that stole the chickens.
Now, I believe I am going to contend in
this case that I and my constituents are
the defendants." (Laughter.)
Only those who are acquainted with th
cadaverous aspect of Mr. Adsms of Wis
consin will appreciate the humor of his
statement that he did not think he looked
as he did bees use he ud smoked Manila
cigars.
Any faithful reader of the Record must
have been struck with the number of times
the word "laughter" appears.' The quality
of the comment that brought It forth ia

TOLSTOI AND HIS LIFE WORK
ission of the Great Russian Genius and
His Eope for Humanity.
FfORT TO UPLIFT THE SODDEN MASSES
Prat. Stelner at Ua College leeetarea
t First Congregational fhnrra
Men.
A large audience was gathered si the
First Congregational church Friday even
ing, the occasion being the fifth number
of the People's Institute lecture course, a
lecture upon Leo Tolstoi by Prof. E. A.
telner of Iowa college. Prof. .Stelner Is
not unknown to an Omana audience and
was most cordially received by his old
friends.
His lecture began with a brief sketch
of the Russian character, which, he held.
is Imperfectly known to the American pub
lic and entirely misconstrued. He main
tained that the Russians are filled with
the same emotions that pervade the rest
of humanity. They hav recently under,
gone an anguish of heart through the
casualties of war not dissimilar to that
following the civil war in America. Every
home mourns th loss of some loved one.
It will tak a quarter of a century for
these wounds to heal. Three great wails
surround the Russian - people. They are
orthodoxy, autocracy and nationality. So
lavish are they In their devotion to these
three characteristics that the 115,000,000 of
Russian subjects lived In the darkness of
their environment to a very recent day
and dared not open their mouths to ex
press an opinion, much less criticize the
government.
Tolatol's Great Mission.
Prof. Stelner told of the awakening of
the spirit of Leo Tolstoi to the conscious
ness of his duty to the people of Russia.
The great question Tolstoi put to himself
was: "What Is the proper thing for me
to do?" and once having answered it from
his own Inner consciousness, he devoted
his marvelous talents and genius to the
elevation of the Russian people. He knew
the stupendous nature of his task. His
mission was to bring the two parts, the
peasant and the commoner, of Russia to
gether. A man of limitless means and
aristocratic training and teaching, he made
It his point to go down Into the masses.
become of and with them, as did the
Christ he. sought to emulate, and sought
to direct their minds to a higher and
nobler standard. His whole purpose was
embraced in the Idea that men thought
too much of the world and concerned them
selves too Ilttlo with themselves and thele
fellow men. He believed that true art Is
that which rouses the highest emotions
in men, not the lowest. Tolstoi Is a man
who baa gone through the struggle with
his own soul and to whom the suffering
and sacrifices of Jesus means something.
The speaker contended that the great
power of the world Is the spiritual, not
the material power. He graphically pic
tured the emperor of Russia surrounded
and protected by his minions, the weakest
man in Russia most strongly protected,
and Tolstoi tin strongest man In Russia,
who dared defy monarchs, priests and
kings, as absolutely unguarded, Tolstoi,
the apostle of peace and righteousness.

"I've often heard it said," remarked a
woman, aa she passed out of the Knick
erbocker Art galleries. New Tork, Satur
day afternoon, "that no one is as dead
as a dead actor; that we forget the peo
ple of the stage as soon aa the curtain
goes down on their lives. I wouldn't have
believed that, though, about 'dear old Mrs.
Gilbert' till today. Think of her auto
graphed photo going for only fl and that
charming silhouette of her for only in)

The prices were. Indeed, ridiculously low

cious a woman both on and off the stage,
where were the host of actors and
actresses to whom she had been "grandma"
for so many years? Tf they were present
they must have been In hiding behind
some of the scenes and tables. Charles
Richman and Miss Amelia Bingham bought
some old programs for trifling amounts,

bowl and creamer for M. Otherwise the
profession was conspicuous by its au-
scence.
Among the objects disposed of were many
autographed photographs. Including some
of Mrs. Gilbert herself. These latter. It
had been supposed, would sell higher than
the others, but the buyers seemed to dis
regard tha personal association that should
have given value to these pictures and
they went for from SO cents to fl.60.
An exception wss the familiar photo

Russell, taken together, which was sold
for Pi. A photograph of Mr. Paderewskl
brought the same amount and one of Jo

BEFORE THE PEOPLE'S BAR
Judere Crawford Admires Man "Who Takes
His Medicine Straight.
TOO MUCH OF THE "PHONEY" JEWELRY
ie Harry Ripley, Minna several
Yards of Epidermis, Walks
lp and Saya He De
served It All.
Police Judge Crawford believes that a
man who walks tip and makes a clean
breast of It all Is worth more than the
man who says the cards were stacked
gainst him, or that some one threw the
switch on him. So much "phoney" Jewelry
Is peddled In the police court that when
a man comes out Into the open, acknowl
edges he and he alone was wrong in the
transaction which caused his arrest, then
It Is the police Judge declares it a pleas
ure to do business with such a prisoner.
Tom lee says it makes his work easier,
too.
Harry Ripley was the one In a thousand
before the people's bar Saturday moruing.
With a face which bore evldenoes of con
flict and a soul filled with remorse, Ripley
took unto himself full blame and confessed
all.
Itlpley was arrested Friday evening by
Patrolman Halterman while tearing the
wall paper down, biting G. A. Spratt, call
ing Miss Anna Brown names and other
wise changing normal conditions In a res
taurant at in02 North Sixteenth street.
The prisoner was charged with assault and
battery when booked at the city Jail.
When arraigned in police court Saturday
morning Ripley said, "I am guilty and de
served all I got." When he said the words
"all I got" he pointed with his left Index
finger to seven long lines on his face and
neck,, the lines being in the form of
scratches.
The Judge fined Ripley $5 and costs.
Ripley worked at the restaurs nt, us a
chef for two months He was discharged
four days ago. While in a fit of alcoholic
Irresponsibility, Friday evening ho returned
to tho scenes of his former employment
and called Miss Anna Brown names, which
would not look well in a horse show pro
gram. He also grabbed several yards of
wall paper down and threw the stove poker
at a piaster of Paris dog on the ice bog.
G. A. Spratt, who roomed upstairs, heard
the roundup downstairs and rushed into (he
restaurant to save the girl, while Ripley
pulled down the building.
After the plaster of Paris dog had ie
sisted the impact of the poker, as best it
could Spratt rescued Miss Brown, but for
his pains was rewarded by four bites on
the face and neck from Ripley, who re
ceived the scratches in the melee.
After the girl wss saved, the mortgage
paid off, the fast mall wrecked, the Third
ward carried for Hcnnings and the word
"skldoo," used four times, Patrolman Hal
terman arrived and placed Ripley under
arrest.
While competition may be the life of
trade, it sometimes proves to be the life
of the people's bar.
Morris Kelmen and Moses Rosenblut,
rivals In the bakery business, lined up
Saturday morning before Police Juaxe
Crawford. It developed that while Roseu
blat waa delivering southsldVr their dally
bread from a wagon. Kelmen delivered
several vicious blows on Rosenblat's body
without notification or provocation.
Kelmen was charged with assault and but
tery and after the evidence of the case
was heard the police Judge fined the Uc
fendant $10 and costs.

stltutents are the names of various people
living on South Thirteenth street, near Pino
street, where the alleged assault occurred
Friday mornlng-
When Rosenblat appeartd in police court
Saturday morning his left eye and part of
his head were obscured from view by half
a bed comfort. About all the Judge coul.l
see Of the complainant .was his right eye,
which moved like an ail-seelng optic In a
bundle, of bed clothes. It was charged that
the rivalry of the litigants was responsible
for the assault. although Rosenhlat
offered a preponderence of testimony
against his assailant and won his suit.
Afer the police court case Kelmen was
served with a warrant by Constable
Church, who summoned Kelmen to East
man's Justice court to be bound over to
keep the peace.
Although this Incident did nut occur In
the people's liar, yet it was told there
Saturday morning, and by right of that
recital belongs to the records of that pro
bono publico Institution. Interlocutor
Frank Murphy told the story:
Friday afternoon tesk Sergeant Havey
of the city Jail received a telephone call
from Mrs. Singer of 301 SoUin Twenty

Just tried to hold her up nt the point of a
revolver. Murphy was sent to that ad
dress to Investigate and arrest any burglars
he might find. He investigated the case
thoroughly.
A boy was selling can openers in that
vicinity and when he called nt the Singer
front door he pointed one of the instru
ments at Mrs. Singer In a manner to cause
the woman to think the boy waa trying to
bold her up and wanted her money, Jewels,
alarm clock and canned fruit. The woman
did not stop to exchange words with the
boy, but ran through her house and out
of the rear door to a neighbor s home
where the telephone call was sent to the
police station.
When Patrolman Murphy arrived the boy
had made ten sales In the neighborhood
and was returning to the Singer house to
give the woman another opportunity to buy
one of his articles.
. . . . rain or dust, cold or heat, nothing
stops these bold adventurers. Their ex
istence of every day is a work of genius, a
dally prob.em which they always contrive to
solve with the aid of bold methennitics.
When want presses them, abstenloua ns
anchorites but if a little fortune lull Into
their hands see, them ilde forth on the most
ruinous fancies, loving the fairest and
youngest, drinking the oldest and best wlnus
and not finding enough windows a hen to
throw their money; then the last crown
dead and burled they begin again to dine
at the table d'hote of chance where their
cover is alwaya laid; contrabandists of all
the industries which spring from art, i.i
chase from morning till night of that wild
animal which is called tlie crown. Bohemia
has a special dialect, a distinct Jargon of
Its own. This vocabulary is the hell of
rhetoric and the paradise of nmlglsm.
A gay life, yet a'terrible one? (H. Murger,
preface to "Vie de Boheine.")
Puccini's "La Boheme" was last night
given Its first presentation In Omaha at
Boyd's theater to a fair sised audienco not
the crowded, enthusiastic house which
should have been In attendance. We have
learned to expect exceptional merit from
the Savage performances. "L. Boheme"
was sung with the same finish and balance
which characterised the work last season.
The opera Is tuneful and charming, with
many spots of exquisite beauty. It is easy

Gertrude . Rennyson as Mlmi did some
splendid singing. The part is a grateful
one and she brought to It a pure, true,
well trained soprano, much Intelligence,
and Inst but not least a sweet personality.
Her farewell to Rudolph was beautifully
done, also the last bars after the quartet
has been finished snd Mlmi and Rudolph
are bidding each other goodby, "Our time
of parting's when the roses bloom." Those
few strains are ss lovely as anything In
the score. The deatli scene in the fourth
act Is full of pathetic beauty. Miss Renny
son did It full Justice. In passing, shs. has
tho veritable hands of Miml, "little hands,
whiter than those of the Goddess of Ease."
As tho poet Rudolph, Joseph Sheean.
made a most favorable impression. His
voice is full, resonant and like velvet, and
he uses U well with the exception of one
occsstonal nasal leaning.. The song to
Mlnil's little hands, which developes to n
full grown love lyric, showed Mr. 8heesn's
voice in all its sustained beauty. The high
C at the end. which. Is optional, he took
with case and an electric quality which
roused the audience.
Miss Claude Albright, as Musetta. wns
saucy, capricious and altogether coptlva!
Ing. Her singing of "As Through the Street
I Wander" was n little disappointing. Rh"
has much snap and dash. Her finale In tb
slipper chorus was the best choral climax
In the opera.
Mr. Wlnfrcd Goff . gave the part of
Marcel, the painter, a most lovable per
sonality. He hos a good voice, which lie
uses to advantage.
The orchestra, composed of fifty men,'
did most excellent and satisfactory work.
Puccini's music is delicate, full of gaiety,
and abounds in haunting melodies. There
are no solos, strictly speaking. Everything
Is a rart of something else. The themes
foreshadow the a'ctlon, as In the Wagner
operas. Too, "La Bohemo" Is an opera
without a contralto. There la a little neu
rotic touch in the constant reference to
Mimi's hands. They appeal to Rudolph
first, and when she Is dying lie clasps
them, singing ugaln the same insistent
bars.
A matinee performance of "Faust" will
bo given today and in the evening "Die
Wulkurb" will be sung.
