SIBERIAN ExiLES.

Thousands Of Them Die Of Exposure and
Punishment - some Horrifying StAtis-
tics.
NEW YORK, March GA letter has
been received by Ivan Smirnof from
Russian exile, now in London (the
Countess Narraiknow). which gives
some painful revelations of the condi-
ton of the exiles in Siberia. These
letters give statistics that may
be relied upon as nearly, il not
quite, correc.. The statistics are,
in substance, that the exiles to
Siberia in 1885 numbered 1874 Mill
lists or their reputed supporters, in 1887
there were added 14,277 more, In 1858
the number was 1908 and in 1889 the
exiles were $4,000 OF the number ex-
lied the deaths range from $50 to 30 per
1000, due to natural sickness, cold, ex-
posture and the knout punishment Tho
suicides average about 30 to 1000. Dur
ing the month Of August 1889. in one
of the central political prisons, 275 Of
the 400 prisoners were prostlnted with
typhoid fever. The hospital accommo-
dations being insufficient many Of tho
feyer-lacked patients were kept in the
cells with those not infected with the
disease. For lack Of medical attend
ance many died.

PERSIAN CIVILIZATION.
False Impressions Entertertained by Eu-
rOpeans and Americans.

/ have been much surprised to hear
oven well-educated Englishmen, in re-
cent discussions on Persia, speak of the
Persian nation as il it were completely
wanting in civilization and were ages
behind Europe in manners, customs and
ideas. Such o false impression of the
characteristics and social condition of
our good friends, the neighbors Of our
Indian Empire, is, think, due to ignor-
ance, and, fear, also to insular preiu-
dice. Persia has not progressed az
Europe has done, but Persian civiliza-
ton and Persian art had reached high
degree of development when England
was covered with tangled forests and its
inhabitants we're half-clothed savages,
whose highest skill was shown in the
slaughter Of wild animals with the
rudest Of weapons. Peruvian civilization
has not refrigerated, though Persian art
is certainly srifed by the introduction
Of cheap but inartistic articles from the
commercial West. In Persia a polite
etiquette is as strictly observed as in any
country in the world, and though
in some trifes, the manners of a
A1AoAOA kCAVACnAOA AA0J 0PPN0I 0ukC
and even amusing when observed in the
West, it is safe to say that nothing
| which Persian gentleman would be
likely to do when mixing in Western soci-
ETY. would in any way shock the delicate
feelings of that society. In this respect
1t is fortunate that the recent journey
ings Of the Shah and his suite were suf-
fciently extended to give q practical
and widespread contradiction TO the
numerous absurd stories which had been
current concerning the disagreeable Pc
culiarities of Persian manners and GUS
toms.
| As regards habits Of personal manli-
ness, on which Englishmen SO greatly
pride themselves. it may astonish many
of my readers to learn that the Persians,
with considerable reason, consider them
selves far superior to any Westerns in
this respect. will only mention, as an
instance, that the Persian considers
that to remain sitting in q small bath
and to commence and complete ablu-
tons in the same water is far from 4
cleanly habit, and it is one which is
never practiced in the heated baths
which the natives frequent with such
pleasure in Persia. and which he greatly
misses when travelling in the West

FORGERY BROUGHT TO LIGHT
A Case Which Several Detectives
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Matters
of Local Interest.

It has been the custom of the Turner's
once every year to give masquerade
ball, and this is always considered the
event of the season. 1t was to be ex-
pected therefore that the ball last night
would be one Of the most enjoyable occs-
sions of the winter, and such it proved
to be. Ever since the date of the mas
querade was announced the ladies who
looked forward to the event busted
themselves in preparing costumes with
which to carry away the honers of the
evening. The committee of arrange
ments also bore in mind the
Importance of the occasion and had
made preparations which were in every
sense complete. The consequence was
that when the hall was thrown open last
night, and the invited guests given ad-
mission, the ball was ready to commence
u ,der more favorable auspices than ever
be'ore. The guests commenced to ar
rive about 8 80 O'Clock, and from that
time until after 9 80 O'Clock there was q
steady stream of people entering the
portals. Each was attired in fancy or
groteeaue fashion, and few would have
been recognized by their best friends.
The shictest scrutiny was made by the
doorkeepers so as to keep out objection
able characters, and when the
time for unmasking arrived it
was found that they had been
successful. At that time there were
two hundred masked people on the floor
and as many more in the gallery watch
ing the gay scene below. There were
kings, queens, princes, dukes, paupers,
beggars. clowns and harlequins in large
umbers, ,all mixed together in the whirl-
ing throng. Here and there we're to be
seen the heavens in miniature, and
Topsy waltzed with bootblack. There
were no prizes offered on this occasion,
and if there had been it would have been
hard to have decided upon the winners.
The committee in charge consisted of j.
Kuhrts, @. Jacoby, L, Winter, r. Krohn,
j. P. Krempel, John Zens, E. Nollag, @.

A FORGERY CASE.
A Janiter Arrested and Lodged
I'm jail.


Yesterday morning Mrs. Morris, pro-
prietress of a lodging house at No. 6091a
South Spring street, reported at police
headquarters that complaints had been
made by her roomers at frequent inter.
walls to the effect that articles had been
missed by them from their rooms. She
was somewhat at loss to conjecture
which of her dodgers was the culprit, un-
til a few days ago she noticed Mrs.
Dussy, who with her husband occupies
room No 1, going down the hallway on
tiptoe and carrying something which was
hidden in her apron. The landlady q
suspicious at once fell upon the Dussys,
and she wanted the matter Investigated.
Accordingly Detectives Aubls and
Bowler were detailed to look into
the mystery, and about o'clock
last evening Bowler proceeded to
the place to interview Dussy. While on
the way to the Spring street lodging
house he met Detective Wallin, and the
two officers comparing notes, found that
they were both after The same man, and
proceeded together. On arrival at Dussy's
room the detectives found their mar
alone, and Wallin produced warrant
charging him with forgery, whereupon
they took him to the station and locked
him up in the city Jail. w. E. Dussy is
employed at the Tribune Office as janitor
and has for some time been entrusted
with the carriage of the mail from the
postoffice to that of the newspaper
in the early morning. 1t is sale
also that whenever there were any
money orders in the mail, Horace
Smith, cashier of the Tribune Publishing
Company, signed the papers and on
trusted Dussy with the collection of th'
same, as he was known at the postoffics
1t is alleged that Dussy got hold of on
of these orders, which was for $40; and
having signed Smiths name to th'
coupon ,cashed it and retained the money
Mrs. Dussy called at the police station
at 8 O'Clock last night to learn the trutl
of 4 rumor she had heard to the effec
that her husband had been arrested, ant
on hearing the report officially confirme'
she appeared to be distressed, and q
she left the jail wept copiously.
