A Rosters itospital Nurse Moms Descent Front Lord Derby — Afier Tears of Drudger/ She Inherits a Fortune. A Boston, Mass., despatch says;—"Ine stead of being the poor t nurse I have been for 'ears, 1 amenow an heiress, and shall give teo the' partially assume ed name I lieve Mena* used, and.shall take my own position, with the title that belongs to me." Sol spoke Miss Isabella Rosetta Farley, the grand- daughter of Lord Derby, to a report- er, as she said good-bye -to him before she sailed for England, "e shall leave dear A.merica to travel for the next year." The story of Miss Farlesas life is not, perhaps, romantic. At least in it there is no tale of love, unless it be that of broad love for; humanity. She was born in Liverpool, EnglandS 36 years ago. Wheo she WAS 19 her mo- ther died, and her father turned her out of the house, as he withed to marry again. On a Saturday morn- ing, forty-three days after that loss, ber father, who wanted to remarry, told her, while seated ab the breakfast table that unless she left the house within teventy-four hours he would put her out. Miss Farley was but little surprised. Her father had always been a stern man in the fatally, and for some time before his wife's death evinced but little teiterest in her. The; daughter LEFT HER HOME with hardly a tithe of her stare in the fortune winch had been her mother and three months later her youngest brother, George James Farley, then aged 16, was sent adrift Wan equally. unceremonious manner. Within a year the two remaining thildren were sent off, and the father took his sec- ond. wife. s Miss Farley became a ser- vant girl from sheer necessity. When her employers became poor sheepawn- ed her jewellery and. paid their ex- penses y in 1883. Alter two months' work as a cook at Mrs, Shaw's nursery, 41 Holyoke street, Cambridge, she was taken down with nervous prostration. When she recov- ered she took a_ course In the hospital training course, graduating a nurse. She gave every cent- of her money tct charity, supporting an aged invalid and three fallen girls and their babies. "Last April my father died," said Miss Farley. "By my stepmother's infulence, although I have never seen her since she was married to my fa- ther, I am disinherited, and. in some way Tam deprived of the enjoyment of my mother's property. My father could not disinherit my brother, how- ever, since the estate was entailed., but my father's eldest brother, realiezing the injustie my father bad done me made over his entire fortune of £50,000 to me. r shall give half of this to my brother George."

Quarters Short of Require" ments This Tear. ;According to Mr. Broomhall, the statistioian of the English grain trade, Europe is in danger of a bread famine before the next wheat crop is avail- able. His annual statement of the world's resources has just been is- sued. Mr. Broornhall says that the European crops amount to 140 mil- lion quarters compared witb 185 mil- lion last year. The deficiency as com- pared with the so-called famine year in 1891 is 10,000,000 quarters. Nortb and South America, he reckons, produced 93,000,000 ctuarters of which the United States raised 74,000,000 as compared with 59,000,000 last year. The produc- tion of the Americans in; 1891 was 101,- 000,000. Asia, Africa and Australia are reckoned somewhat in excess of last Year, but fully 11,000,000 less than in 1891. The world's production this year is 278,000,000 quarters, compared with 298130,000 in 1896 and 318,000,- 000 in 1891. The reserve visible in Europe the United States and Canada amounts to 10,000,000 quarters, as corn- ered with 15,000,000 In 1896 Tbus the aggregate produotion and reserves fall. 25,000,000 quarters short of the estimated requirements of the cur- rent season -316,000,000, or 28,000,- 000 in excess of the total. production and reserves.

Creaser in New York — His Monster of Pe'lliton Signed by British Worl: mon mt. A dispatch from New York says:— Mr. W. R. Cremer, the Englishman who has been agitating the subject of an arbitration treaty between the Unit- ed States and Great Britain for the last ten years, arrived here on Satur- day on the American liner St. Paul. He has come with a long petition sign- ed by a great nuraber of Englishmen, urging Congress to take some initiative step toward. forwarding au internation- al treaty. He says that if Congress would act the English House of Com- mons would follow its lead. He wishes Americans to understand, that it is not the classes, but rather the masses, in England who desire the treaty, and he expects to be here through the coming session of Congress to agitate the. sub- ject. He visited. this country ten years ago, and again two years ago, on the same mission. Mr. Crerner was formerly the mem- ber of Parliament for the Haggerston division of London, and is first secre- tary of the International Working- men's Association, and secretary of the International Arbitration League. He will preseat to every United States Senator an address, signed by seven thousand workingmen, each of whom is an officer of a trades union, repre- senting more than two and three-quar- ter millions of British workingmen, in favour of arbitration between the Unit- ed. States and Great Britain. BIG JEWELLERY ROBBERY. Thieves Get Away With gisee,000 Worth of Goods. A despatch from Madrid says; — A great stir has been caused in police circles over the robbery, of a jeweller's shop, which occurred at Seville on Sat- urday night.' The jeweller's attend- ants, whe were sleeping on the prene- ises; awoke on Sunday -morning to find that the shop had been practieally emptied of its stock during the night; jewellery valued at over, one hundred thousand dollars having been taken by thieves while they slept. They found a large hole cut in the floor, lead- ing from which was a tunnel com- municating with a house in another street. The burglars had been work ing at this tunnel for weeks.

After the fighting on Monday, Oc- tober 18, between the column of Brit- ish troops oommanded by General Sir Yeatman-Biggs, and the tribesmen from Chagru, on the Samna Range, the Britith retired upon Shinware, and the enemy, greatly reinforced, reocou- pied Dargai Ridge. On Wednesday fol. lowing General Biggs sent the second division to dislodge the tribesmen. The position was a very strong one, the enemy 'occupying the summit of a, preoipitous hill.
