Russian Cruelty.

The city OF Kostroma has sensa-
ton of its own in the shape of cruel
father, Egor Alexieff Smirnoff by
name and drosky driver by profess
sion. The son of Smirnoff, boy of 10
years, failed to pass the examination
at his school. Being afraid tc come
home with the report of his ill success
he concealed himself for two days.
But his father found him and chained
him to the wall of dark, moist, dirty
room, which was full of vermin. In
the corner of the room there was a
lair of rotten straw. He was kept in
that condition for fully six days, until
his mother could no longer endure the
sight OF of his suffering, and took
courage to report the case to the
police authorities. The boy was lib
Grated and taken to the hospital, and
his father was arrested. On turtle r
examination the room in which the
poor boy was chained was found to be
regular chamber of horrors. There
were rings fastened to the ceiling and
in the floor, by which Smirnoff would
hang up his children by their hands
and feet, or stretch them in a manner
that they conld not struggle or pro-
tect themselves when he inflicted
chastisement on them with a knout.

Obituary.

After months of painful suffering, en-
dured with Christian fortitude, Harry NJ.
Flynn, jr., the only son of Harry and N.
Flynn of Meadow street, on Saturday
evening, November /, passed from this
fieeting world to the realms of joy and
bliss A bright and intelligent youth, with
with brilliant future before him, and be-
loved by all who knew him, he was strick-
en- down two years ago with severe cold,
which eventually turned to Assesses, whose
malignant poison ultimately brought his
young life to close. During the long
period of his suffering he bore his burden
of pain without murmur and resigned
himself to the end which he knew must
come.
For some time he was an altar boy at st.
Mary's church and the good he learned
there under the guidance of his religious
advisers was not lost; the seed was sown
on good ground; it sprung up and was
about to bloom forth wheri the heavenly
reaper called him to his rest.
He was the only son of his mother, who,
through his long affection, watched over
him and endeavored with mothers love
| to alleviate his suferings, which were in
tense, and the deepest sympathy of all is
| with his sorrowing parent, who has lost
the pride of her lite, her darling, her only
boy.
Thou art gone to the grave, /.
| Yet we will not deplorc thee,
/ Though sorrow and darkness encompass the
The sssioP has passed through its portals befor
And the light of his love is thy light through
