ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, MAY 18. 1999.

SLAIN BY CHOLERA

Pestilence Follows Famine and Slays
Its Thousands. *

NO HOPE OF STAYING IT

Many of the Famine Camps Are Attacked
By the Disease In the Most Viruleut
Forms—Thousands Have Died at Gueriat
and Godhra Camps.

By Associated Press.

London, May 18.—A special dis-
patch from Hyderabad, noting the
rapid spread of cholera, says:

“In one division no fewer than
forty-five famine camps have been
attacked by the pestilence. The
most virulent type is at Gueriat,
where many thousands have per-
ished. In the Godhra camp alone
there have been thousands of vic-
tims. This appalling loss of life
seems inevitable.”

WHOOPING IF UP FOR MARTIN

How the Premier's Organ Tries to
Work the Newspapers.

The manner in which the Van-
couver World, Premier “Martin's
organ, is trying to work the news-
papers of the interior with boom
yarns about Martin is illustrated by
the following dispatch, which was
received by the Recorn last night:

“69 Paid D. P. R.

“‘Vancouver, B. C. May 17.

. The Record, Rossland.

«‘Premier Martin received a mag-
nificent reception on his arrival to-
day from a tour of the interior. A
long procession of carriages headed
by the city band paraded from the
station to the comittee rooms,
where the premier delivered a short
address, stating that not he, but
the opposition, was feeling tired.
Many candidates from other con-
stituencies participated in the re-
ception and will take part in to-
night’s public meeting to be ad-
dressed by Premier Martin, D. G.
MacDonnell and others. Great en-
thusiasm was manifested and to-
night's meeting will be a record-
breaker. «J. C. McLacan.”

What Happened to Jones,

The cigar store of Crow & Mor-
ris is just now adorned with artistic
productions depicting scenes in
that most popular play in England,
“What Happened to Jones,” in
which Charles Collette so admirably
shines in the principal role, ‘‘Jones.”
Wherever Cheerful Charlie, as he is
known to his chums, puts in an ap-
pearance, he takes.al. before him,es-
pecially when it’s Scotch and soda.
Maxey Crow has been pestered al-
most to death the past few days by
his numerous customers enquiring:
“What did happen to Jones; to
which Maxey replies: © ‘I guess
you'll have to wait till you see Col-
lette, you bet yer.” Cheerful Char-
lie has many friends in this far-off
country, as he has in all parts of the
world, and, should he ever strike
this mining camp “‘there’ll be a hot
time in the old town that night.”
Dig up your dragoon officer's uni-
form, Charley,’and come along to
Rossland. Hurry up.

‘The Whole Kingdom Enthused.

London, May 19.—The whole
British empire has been carried off
its feet by the news of the relief
of Mafeking. Cablegrams from all
parts of the world, where floats the
Union Jack, tells of joyful demon-
strations. Overstrained feelings
have found vent ina storm of en-
thusiasm which has spread through
the United-Kingdom and the colon-
ies. Further ‘confirmation of the
various reports of the relief was re-
ceived today in a dispatch from

ig telegraphed her congratu-
lations to Col. Baden-Powell and to
her sister, Lady Sarah Wilson.
She informed Col. Baden-Powell
that the fund for Mafeking,
for = which she had made
aun urgent appeal on May 12, al-
ready amounted:to 7,000,000.

As hundreds of loaded _ trains
journeyed from the suburbs to the-
city, their occupants kept up a roar
of cheering,-which was echoed by
the occupants of the decorated
houses along the route.

The Streets Blocked.

From dawn the crowds swelled
until the frequented thoroughfares
were impassable and vehicles had
1o be stopped. No attempt was
made to restrain pent-up feelings.
Nearly everyone had a Union Jack
about his cap or high hat, and
many wore sashes of the national
colors. Business men and street
urchins hurrahed for Baden-Powell
and -Mafeking,. and blew shrill
blasts on tin horns, while well
known society and other notable
women took part with great enthu-
siasm in the remarkable demonstra-
tion.

Reenes atthe Mauston Houne,

_ Outside the Mansion House, from
early morning a dense mass of pco-
ple stretched far up the adjacent
streets. Ever and anon the crowd
burst forth with the national an-
them, ‘Rule Britannia,” or ‘The
Absent-Minded Beggar.” The huge
pcture of Colonel Baden-Powell
was cheered again, and again, and
evety now and then some one with
a cornet ora flute would start pa-
triotic airs. A few hundred persons
on the outskirts of the mass formed

a procession and followed the musi-
cians through the neighborhood.
