young lady I refer to, is the first lady matriculate here. She was born in His Highness's territory and how successfully her father, who has been connected with the Educational Department for over 17 years, has worked in the cause of education, and how much of the spread of it is due to him all Hyderabad knows. Yet when the father applied to the Government for a scholarship to enable his daughter to study for a Medical Degree at one of the Medical Colleges in the Presidency towns, very little of kindly consideration" was shown. Compare this Mr. Editor with the case of a young lady from the North. She came here, had the "consideration" for the asking with little or no trouble, went to Madras, read in the Medical College for about 2 years at the expense of the Nizam's Government-and then took service under the Mysore Government. Inscrutable really are the ways of officials here! If favouritism plays as prominent a part as consideration of merit elsewhere, it like Aron's rod, swallows up all other considerations here.
A fancy fair will be held shortly in the Chadarghat Public Gardens. It has been organised by Mrs. Tyler, a lady well- known in all circles here, with a view to provide a Led in the Ripon Hospital at Simla for European patients from the plains during the six hot months. This is not the first time that Mrs. Tytler devotes herself to a philanthropic object like this; she held a similar fair with the same object more than a year ago on the Residency grounds. The fact of a lady at her age coming forward to contribute to the comfort of suffering humanity ought to induce all who can look beyond self to "support" it not merely in words but practically.
