RUSSIAN HORRORS
SmaIIpox and Typhus Fever Added tn the
Fnmine's Ravages-Sewspapers Silent

SmolIpox and Typhus Fever Added tn tho
Fnmine's Ravages-Sewspapers Silent
Sr. PETERSBURG, December l5.-To
the horrors OF famine havo been added
the concomitant of pestilence. Small
pox is carrying off large numbers OF the
impoverished people, who In their weak
ened condition. fall ready prey TO the
dreaded disease.
At the first sitting OF the Central Re-
lief Committee $3.50 was paid into the
treasury, that being the amount usually
devoted to State aims.
No mention OF the existence OF small
poy Is made by the newspapers and In
fact they even print nothing about the
famine and a person with no other
sources OF information would never
know from reading the papers that the
dread Spectre of famine aud pestIlence
had spread its wings over vast areas OF
what has been Russia's most fertile ter
ritory.
This is due 10 secret instructions is
sued by the police ordering the news
papers to ignore the famine and epidem-
ic of smallpox. In two small villages
of the government OF Riazan two hun
Qreu persons are uOWu WIN tuo ioabh-
some disease and fifty deaths have al
ready occurred.
Smallpox is also rsvaging the pro-
vnces OF Viatka, Samria, Karkakoff.
Vladimir, Kursk, Orenburg, PcterhoR
and Saratoff. In addition to this visi-
tation Of smallpox, typhus fever Is car
rylng of numerous victims In various
provinces.
On the whole, more gloomy outlook
could not well be imagined and al
though the few doctors scattered
throughout the country are doing their
utmost to stay the disease, their efforts
are almost useless The people have
reached stage where they think IL use
less to fight against any aillIction sent
them and consequently many who
might recover had they any energy or
will power, lie down and succumb TO
disease without making single effort
in their own behalf Many, too, prefer
death from disease TO suffering the slow
torture OF death from starvation.

NOW IN CINCINNATI.

A Woman Arrested Believed to Be Miss
 Ava or Diss Debar.
 CINCINNATI, Sep. 12.-A large woman with bl onde hair was arrested at the corner of Ninth and Elm streets last
 zht and taken to the House of Deten- on. Her clothing was torn and disar- ranged and she presented the appear ance of having been roughly treated.
 She says her name is Vera Ava, but she cannot account for her being in Gin cinnati. She tells 8 remarkable story of being in Chicago Thursday, and with Mrs. Bolton drove in @ carriage to the house of Father Kelly, Catholic priest in that city. She went to the priests house alone with satchel containing several thousand dollars. While talking to the priest some persons threw a shawl over her head and robbed her of the valu- ables she had in her hand. They then put her in a carriage and drove rapidly away.
 The woman is under the impression that she was brought here in the car riage from Chicago.
 Before being arrested she made apph- cation for a room st one of the leading hotels here, but was refused on account of her shabby appearance. She is held on suspicion.
 The police believe the woman is none other than the notorious Diss Debar.
