THOSE PRESS AGENTS AGAIN.
There seems to be an unusually large coage of explanations for the adventure of an American chorus girl who figured in the recently notorious "Wine" Tub Case in New York. The news is that she was found stupeded and almost dead from an overdose of a sleeping draught.. The police say that she took it in order to commit suicide. She says, that she. took it for insomnia. Her father says to the reporters) that she took it "pure- by for advertising purposes." And in view of this last suggestion (what a miserable old spoil-sport the father must be it seems very probable that she never took it at all.

It says:
It is said that nine million people perished of starvation in Honan in the great famine of 1877. Communications are better now than they were then but the imagination is staggered when one tries to visualize the suffering "that lies ahead of the poorer part of the popula- tion during the bitter winter months that are to come. The flood water has not subsided and the back wall of the mission house has fallen down and the bricks are submerged under water," says the pastor in his letter. But the houses of the poor are built of clay and in the coded areas, not many of these can be left standing since. even brick walls fall down.
