THE SIBERIAN HORROR.
Torty-One Persons Were Killed in the
Kara Revolt.


Kara Revolt
PARIS, Feb. 14-Further particulars
of the Siberian horror have been re-
ceived and show that the crueltios we're
worse than at first reported. 1t now
appears that Nine. Sihida had
younger sister, some IL wears old, who
went TO Siberia to lcok after her
comfort.
Arriving there she had the misfor-
tune to please the eye of the directo
of the prison. She was detained by
him on Il trumped-up charge of conniv-
ing at Nine. Sihida'S attempted escape
and became a victim of his brutality
Sho was sub ected to such atrocious
treatment as to cause her death soon
after.
Nine. Sihida, indignant and terror
stricken by this awful event, vehem-
emily denounced the outrage. In doing
this she attracted the attention of the
director, who then approached her
with the same insults he had heaped
upon her sister Tho monstrous re-
venge of the director in having her
publicly logged followed, and this
punishment was accom- panied by in
human incidents which had probably
more to do in driving her to suicide
than the exposure to which she had
been subjected.
The revolt in tho male prison is con-
tirmed, and it is now definitely known
that the number of killed amounted to
forty-one. News of the affair has now
been circulated in Russia, and it has in
spired the Nihilists with new vigor.
Upon learning the particulars and
realizing the universal protest and yio-
lent feeling the case would arouse, tho

WITNESS AND JUDGE.

Victim of the Law Fined for Giving tho
Court Good Advice.
An amusing scene was recently en-
acted in a country courtroom in Maine,
says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. The
trial justice, a big, pompous official
with voice like a trombone, took it
upon himself to examine a witness, a
little, withered old man, whose face was
as red and wrinkled as a smoked her.
ring.
''What is your name?" asked the JUS
tice.
'W'y, squire" said the astonished wit
ness, ''you know my name as we'll as I
know yourn.'
''Never you mind what I know, or
what 1 don't KNOW" was the caution
given with magisterial severity. 81 ask
the question in my official capacity, and
you're bound to answer it under OATH
With contemptuous snort the wit
ness gave his Aame, and the questioning
proceeded.
Where do you live?'
"WaL 1 snum!' calculated the old
man. "W'Y," he continued, appealing
to the laughing listeners, 'I've lived in
this town all my life, and SOS he,"
pointing to the justice, IAN, b'gosh, to
hear him go on you'd think"
"Silence!' Numbered the irate magis-
trate. ANSWER my question or I'll
Ane you for contempt of court"
Alarmed by the threat, the witness
named his place of residence and the
examination went on.
what is your occupation?'
''Huh?"
What do you do for Eving?"
"Oh, git out, 'squire! Just as if you
don't know that tend gardens in the
summer season an saw wood winters!'
"As private citizen do know it, but
as the court know nothing about you,"
explained the perspiring justice.
oval, Squire" remarked the puzzled
witness, elf you know somethin' outside
the courtroom and don't know nothin'
in it, you'd better get out an let some
body try this case that's got boss
sense"
The advice may have been we'll
meant, but it cost the witness ten dol
lars.

telegrapher to Minneapolis journal
reporter, ''the Office was short a press

and inquired If he could find work.
What kind of job do you want" asked
the chief. Are you a report man?'
Yes, sir, replied the newcomer, conf

wire, and, taking knife from his pock-

the while listening to the instrument as

in the room began to wonder why the
fast man did not begin to copy, and
when he asked check boy where the
water-cooler was, and had taken drink
from it, they thought the new report
operator was good one,' and was try
ing to make record. By this time the
sender at the other end of the wire was
probably fifty to seventy-five words
ahead, and while they knew that no OPP
orator in the world could copy that far
behind thought they must have found a
telegraphic phenomenon. Then the
would-be press man asked where the
coal-box was, picked up the scuttle and
went outside. After waiting a few min

cluded that the operator was q fraud,
