Siberia. Nine Nadyda Sihida, of noble
birth and teacher in the High School
at Moscow, was found last year with
revolutionary pamphlets in her posses
sion, and sentenced to penal servitude.
On her arrival at Kara this handsome,
refined woman soon attracted the atten-
ton of the director of prison, who took
an early opportunity to insult her.
Nine. Slhida boxed the ears of the
director, who, in revenge, had her
stripped and logged ii the presence of
all the men in the prison Such an OUT
rage had not been perpetrated on a
woman of rank since the days of the
Empress Catherine, and the unfortun-
ate lady was so apprehensive of
further shame and torture that she
committed suicide on the same day by
poisoning herself. Several of the other
female political prisoners, fearful of re-
ceiving similar treatment, on hearing of
the terrible event followed her exam
pie. A few miles from the women's
political prison ct Kara is that occupied
by male political convicts, who, on
hearing of the tragedies revolted en-
masse. Troors were called out, and
awful scenes misunderstanding fog
glng and torturing going on by whole
SALE. Up to this time the Russian au-
thorities have been able to suppress all
news of the occurrence.

L " hist Paradox.
From the Atlanta Constitution.


There is that famous hand in which
the Duk o. Cumberland held ace,
king. queen and knave in one plain
suit; ace, king, queen in another; ace,
king in the third; while in trumps he
held king. klave, nine and seven. Yet
with this perfectly magnificent hand
and the lead Qeadlng also quite correct
ly) he did not make single trick. This
seems Incredible, but when the hands
are supplied the solution of the prob
lem will be readily seen. The four
trumps lying just over those held by the
Duke OF Cumberland, viz, the ace,
queen, ten and eight, were on his left,
with nine diamonds. while on his right
were five small trumps. He led a trump,
which was taken on his left, and dia-
mond led-trumped on his right. An
other trump was led through him,
which was similarly taken, and another
diamond led, which was also trumped
on his right. Another trump led
through The Duke caused his last trump
but one to fall. The last was then ex-
,racted by the player on his left. The
Duke had DOW no diamonds. that being
the suit OF which he had held only the
ace and king. Then the diamonds on
his le [ were as good as trumps and
made all the remaining tricks.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 12.-Judge Sutton,

that the liabilities of the company are
$23, 722.43; the assets are So, 1897 SO, but
they consist of notes which are deemed
practically worthless. Losses to the
amount of $4,000 have accumulated

lawful, the laws of Kansas under which
the company was organized expressly
torbidding it. The report further states
that when President Hines and Secre-
tary Fuller made their annual report to
Secretary Wilder as required by Law,
they manipulated the figures in such
way that the concern appeared solvent
when it was in debt. In swearing to
those false reports Hines and Fuller
are laole to imprisonment, and war
rants have been issued Tor their arrest.

The restitution is most exclusively con-

where the settlements date back only two,
three, and four years, except Nelson and
Ramsey Counties, which have been settled
about SIX years. In the counties named
there are not less than 5000 people depend

Have you ever CHANGED to meet

He's not divine,
For his cheeks SO round and rudy,
And his chubby hands are muddy,
And there wouldn't anybody
For him pine.
At the gate he's sure to greet me
Bright and gay,
And the care that would defeat me
Drives away.

Shall our bond the angels sever
That he'll be my boy forever
