Mrs. L. Z. LerrER DEAD 
The papers this morning contained 
the account of the death of Mrs: Levi 
Z. Leiter, at her-home in Washing- 
ton. Mrs. Leiter owns a delightful ° 
summer estate at Beverly Farms, 
“Edgewater,” on the edgé of West 
Beach. She died of apoplexy yester- 
day. 
SOME OF THE HARDSHIPS OF A Mis- 
SIONARY’S LIFE 
Some of the hardships. of life as a 
missionary may be obtained from the 
following excerpt from a personal let- 
ter received a few days ago from Rev. 
Augutine D. Ohol, now engaged in the 
cause of Christianity and civilization 
in India. Mr. Ohol is an Indian 
prince, who came to America in boy- 
hood to get an education. He was edu- 
cated at Ashburnham Academy, Bates 
College and Hartford ‘Theological 
schools. He says among other things: 
“We are just about finishing our 
three years’ service in the Mission. 
Barsi is a large town with nearly 25,- 
000 population, but the number of 
Christians is small. We have schools 
in Barsi as well as in. the District. 
There are about 250 Christians living 
in the different towns and_ villages, 
which we visit often. 
“There is much idolatry here, and 
so many years of English rule and 
Christianity have not changed the 
minds of the people much. It is very 
hard to change the East of a sudden, 
for the customs and heathen religions 
have a powerful hold on India today. 
“The last rainy season was very 
poor and so we are having famines in 
the different parts of India. We our- 
selves are feeling the hardships es- 
pecially from the water famine. We 
are buying water at a very high rate. 
There is much suffering among the 
poor people and cattle is dieing by the 
hundreds. Poor, poor, India! I wish 
I had some money to relieve some of 
the suffering. There are yet six 
months before the next rainy season 
and nearly nine months before the 
first harvest. Would that people in 
America could realize the great good 
even a small amount of money would 
do toward relieving suffering. $100 
would save the lives of many people 
and do away with much - suffering. 
People come. to our doors who have 
been starving for three and four days 
and some of them are so weak that 
they hardly have strength to talk,”
