ST. PETERSBURG. July 6.-The Newspaper
EedelJd describes tho discovery Of hideous prao-
tees among the beggnrs OF south Russia, who
mutilato children with the object Of rendering
their appearance such that 1t will excite pity
and thus draw money from the charitable.
The paper tells Of q girl 8 years old who was
stolen from her parents by beggars. The child
was gagged and taken to q cellar. where her
captors discussed tho method to BIO employed In
mutIlating her. Finally her face was smoared
with pitch, which was then set on fire. the
names soaring her face and binding her. Then
the beggars disjointed her fingers. and after
ward out her feet 10 make her limp.
The girl. who has boon rescued from her cap
tors, says she saw the oorpses Of two boys in tho
cellar who had presumably Buccumbed to the
fortunes inflicted upon them. The criminals In
this case have been arrested. Inquiries show
that such practices are extensively followed by
professional mendicants.
