hare been asked many times by
friends in America why intelligent and
liberty-loving Russians do not get out
of such a country. Many answers
might be given to this question. but
perhaps the most comprehensive and
cogent of them will be found in Sec
tions 325-32S of the Russian penal code.
which are rs follows:
SECTION S2a Whoever leaves the
fatherland and enters the service of q
foreign Government without permits
sion of his own Government or be-
comes a subject of foreign power.
such person. for violation of his al
legiance and his oath shall be deprived
of all civil rights and expelled from
the limits of the empire forever If
he returns, he shall be exiled to Si-
IBERIA for life.
SECTION S26. Whoever leaves the
fatherland and does not return at the
summons of the Government shall! for
this disobedience be deprived of all
civil rights. and expelled from the linn
its of the empire fOrever-unless. with
in a period to be fixed at the discre-
ton of court he shows that his dis
obedience was due to causes which
were beyond his control. or which nit
igate his guilt. Until he shall make
such proof. he shall be regarded as
missing. and his property shall be con.
trolled by the bureau of guardianship.
SECTION 327. Amy person who. with
out permission Of the Government and
without adequate reason. lives abroad
beyond the period liked by law for per-
sons of his station shall also be regard
ed as missing Qiterally. "absent with
out news.") and his property shall be
taken in charge by the bureau of guas-
dianship.
SECTION 32S. Any person who per-
suades a subject of the empire to emil
CRATE to another country shall be pan
ished with penal servitude in con-
vict company for not less than twelve
nor more than eighteen months. or be
banished to Siberia for life.
Under one of the above-quoted sec
tions (326) Turgenlef, while living in
Paris in 1868, was summoned to St.
Petersburg to answer before the Di-
recting Senate for something that he
had written or said. One can see from
his letters to 4 friend, =. V. Annenkoff,
how humiliating and exasperating
obedience was to him, but-he obeyed.

the right of its subjects to go abroad |
or to live abroad without its permits

In Pursuit OF the Robbers.

Ell PAso. Jan. 1.-THE Mexican Cen
trail train which was robbed last night
arrived at Ell Paso this morning. The
robbery occurred at Mapula, 24O miles
south of Ell Paso, and fourteen miles north
OF chihuahua. Mapula is q small station
without a telegraph Office. The robbers
were six or eight in number, but it is be-
lieved that zone were Mexicans. The
trainmen and passengers think one OF
more negroes were in the gang.
The robbers fired several shots to
Brighten the trainmen and passengers into
submission. Wells Fargo Messenger Il.
J. Cloper was forced to open his treasure
box, which was riied. He says the rob
bers got only 1914. The robbers said
they had intended to rob the train which
came along the day before, which carried
carried a large amount of silver, but they
arrived too late. When the train reached
chihuahua a force of fifty Mexican
troops was dispatched to pursue the rob-
hers.

a Double Crime.

New ORLEANS, Jan. IA week ago
Harry H. Edwards'had a quarrel with his
vile. She LIFT home aud went to live
with her sisters. Misses Kate and Lulu
Lewis, in a boarding house on Julia
street. These young ladies had a large
number of male admirers, among whom
was Dr. l.. l.. Kuykenda'l, of Texas,
nov attending medical lectures in this
city, who is said 10 be paying address to
Miss Kate. Last night kuykendall visit
ed the three sisters in company with DIR.
.iourdan, another visiting physician.
ABOUT II O'Clock some one reported to
the group in the parlor that Edwards was
pacing cxcitcdly in front Of the house.
The ladies' became alarmed and advised
the gentlemen to leave. They prepared
to do 50, and were saying their adieus
when Edwards appeared in the doorway
with his hands in his pockets. After
pausing au instant he rushed upon kuy-
kendall, seized him by the throat, and
drawing a revolver placed the muzzle
against his stomach and fired. As Kuy
kendall fell MORALLY wounded Edwards
shot him the second time. and then
turned his attention to the others.
The Misses Lewis had by this time fed
IRON tho room, but Mrs. Edwards had re
treated to Il corner. Edwards leveled his
pistol on his wife and fired, sending a
bullet through her left breast. She iell
against the wall and Edwards fired again,
this lime without effect. He then rushed
from the house and disappeared, but at 10
O'Clock this morning surrendered to the
police. The two wounded people were
taken to the hospital, where Kuykcndalrs
wound was pronounced mortal. After
lingering in great agony he died this
evening. Mrs. Edwards wound is dan
gerous. but not necessarily fatal. She
had been twice married before she met
Edwards. She secured a divorce from
her first husband and married a man
named Pierce, who died, leaving Il son.
This boy, aged 9 years, was a witness to
the tragedy. The woman's family say
Edwards treated her cruelty, and that she
was compelled t. leave him. Edwards
fIi-nda, however, say hat Mrs. Edwards
was entirely too intimate with Kuykcndall
and that the shooting was justifablc.

Strange Case of Heart Disease.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. IA gentle
man who resides in this city is afflicted
with a heart disease which is probably the
most remarkable in the annals of medical
history. DR.. j. G. Smith, a prominent
physician, has for twenty years been COM
PEELED to retain a recumbent position.
His case has attracted the attention of
medical circles in this country and in Eu-
rope. Thirty years ago DIR. Smith was
an active practitioner in this city. About
that time he was Frustrated by overwork,
and in 1867 he was taken to his bed with
a peculiar trouble of the heart. Since
then he has never been on his feet or
for any length of time sat in an upright
position. His troubles lie in the peculiar
action of the valves OF his heart, which
refuse to act when he is in an upright po-
%sition, but perform their functions per-
fectly when he is'.recumbent. Though for
the best part of his life confined to his
bed, DR.. Smith has..wonderfully improved
his..time, devoting himself to literary work
mastering foreign languages and perfect
ing several inventions, which latter have
proved sources of large income to himself
and associates in their manufacture. DIR.
Smith is a large and robust-appearing
man, and aside from the peculiar action
of his heart, is in perfect health. He oc-
cupies the remarkable position of being
able to commit suicide by simply standing
upright.

Indiana Democrats.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. IA largely at
tended conference Of Indiana Democrats
was held here to-day in response to a call
issued recently by the Hendricks club Of
this city. Governor Gray was made per-
manent chairman. The governor said the
Democratic armor was never in better
order and after the next convention he
thought it would be found that the Re-
publican party is a party of the past.
This is no time for speech making and |
simply add here that whatever there is of
me, and all of me, will be devoted to
making the Democracy triumphant in the
coming election.

tration of President Cleveland welcomes
his recent messages and recommends Gov
ernor Gray to the Democracy of the

Train Robbers Captured.

Colo, special to theRepubhtcam says: The
train from the west this morning brought
Sheriff Shores, accompanied by NJ. l..
Allison Of Gunnison. Sheriff Cramer of
this place and Tom Denny. They had in
custody Bob Smith, Jack Smith and a
man named Rhodes, who were captured
a day or two ago and are part of the gang
OF train robbers who held up the Salt
Lake express on the Rio Grande road
near here last October. This makes five
OF the gang of six implicated in the at
tempt, and for whose arrest SO 5000 reward
is offered.

Concerning the Flags.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lit is under.
stood that the house committee on mill
tary affairs was ready to report to-day the
resolution of Representative Boutelle of
Maine, calling upon the secretary of war
for information with reference to the pro-
posed surrender o the battle flags; owing,
however, to Boutelle's temporary absence
from the house, the report was withheld.
Boutellee said in an interview tonight
that he understood the resolution would
be reported favorably tomorrow without
material change. The only amendment
of importance is the one which makes the
resolution include the cases where the
flag of Union troops r~ecaptured from Con-
tedcrates has been returned to the regi-
nents in loyal states. This, Boutelle says,
did not seem to him to have any hearing
upon the return Of the flags to the defunct
organizations of the ~Confederacy. Upon
being asked whether it Is rue that the
flags were removed from the ordnance
museum before the present administration
came in power, Mr.. Boutelle replied that
he understood such to be the case, but
that a mere change in the location of the
flags was a poor Xcuse for attempting to
send these sacred relics TO the South.

that Corbln took a determined position

no unreasonable obstruction would be
thrown by the Reading management in
the way of an amicable settlement.

Prize Packages With Collins.

BUFFALO, Jan, 1.-THE prize pack
ages idea has got into the coffin business
here, its advent following the breaking ola
monopoly in mortuary receptacles. For a
long time prices of collins were away up,
undertakcrs combining to ''bulT' prices.
Undertakes wEo refused to enter the
league were boycotted and found it hard
to get collins at any price. Then a Ro.
chester firm entered the market as Il
bear, cut prices and the ring was
broken. Now a Cleveland firm has estab:
lished an agency here, and offers prizes to
promote its business. A chrome with your
coffin and an extra coffin for any one
getting an extra coffin will probably be the
next idea.

THE August number of Book NeiCs
John Wanamaker, Philadelphia, con-
tains a most interesting article on
Translations," by Prof. H. H. Boye-
sen, than whom there is no one in the
country more competent to discourse
on the subject. The portrait and bio
graphical sketch make the reader ac-
quainted with the features, life and
work of the author. There are the
usual instructive talk with the New
Books" by Talcott Williams, and the
monthly hints to bookbuyers as to how
and what to buy.
FROM the accounts in the papers it
would seem that there was more rain
most everywhere else on Sunday than
here. Rain and disastrous effects from
lightning as an accompaniment of the
hot wave, are reported throughout the
Middle and Western States. Our pOr-
ton, in the evening, was of the gentle
kind without lightning or wind, wett-
ing the ground two or three inches.
We needed ten times as much, for the
first half of August is the time of all
others In the year when we need mud
rain to mature the corn crop. From
lower Kent on down the Peninsula
they had in most places a good rain.
THE notion seems to have possessed
Senator Eli salisbury that the consti-
tuence OF Duck Creek is a pack of
fools, for how else can he expect his
sham post Office scheme to bring him
votes ?-SmyrnG Times.
The above is from the editorial col
umns Of the EUeRiRG Journal and is an
example of what would have been
called i'll the rural parlance of ffty
years ago, getting the wrong sow by
| the ear" The above should have been
credited to the Smyrna Record. and not
the Times. The editor of the latter be-
| lieVes in a reduction of the surplus.
and if Senator Salisbury can get a
fractional part of it for erecting a Fed
eral building in Smyrna, we will not
call it " sham post office" We are
only afraid that with the opposition
that awaits his efforts both at home
and in Washington, Smyrna will be
" left out in the cold"
WE wonder if there are not many
| persons whose keen eye of observation
have run in the same line as the re-
porter of the Baltimore American as
follows: " Did you ever notice how a

there will be another kind ?"
No, l don't think 1 ever did" was
