Show AN UNGRAIEFtX MONARCH. Aa IiKiiflfcrenca Shown to the Appeal of the I.lKht Jlrljrade. London, May 24. Special. Monarchies Mon-archies as well as republics are ungrateful, ungrate-ful, as is evidenced by the indifference shown to the appeal for relief of the famous light brigade. There are only twenty left of the heroic six hundred, and two of these are iu ordinary poor houses supported by public charity. In response to the appeal for relief for them onlv $100 has been subscribed. The lord, mayor has called a meeting meet-ing with the view of arousing public interest in tho subject of the appeal. Tho few contributions received were mostly from people in tho lower class, even military men having failed to hearken to the cry for help for those who have beeu immortalized by the poet Cameate. |
