a MOVING SIGHT.
The "Unfortunste" Siberian Convicts and
Their Kind Hearted Bishop.

In the midst Of this throng, so varied In
costume and cast of features. the bishop
came upon gang of convicts, who on
their way to the railway station had been
mercifully allowed TO await the passing OF

In clothes of dull dirt brown color.
About their feet hung loosely not very
heavy chains, but SO arranged as TO pre-
vent them from assuming but short and
shutting gait, which quite precluded the
possibility if not the very Thought of
escape. Upon the backs of the TUNES
which they wore was dyed in black an ace
of diamonds, and their hair upon the left
side Of the head was almost invariably
close shaven, while on the other allowed
to grow long, luxuriant and unshorn-a
most repulsive Disagreement, but which
Is said TO prevent more escapes of conyicts
than do the OBTAINING chains, and, OF
course, is most useful in Identifying those
who are recaptured.
Above the ace of diamonds on the back
of the tunic stands q number, in lieu of a

q sudden drop at Charles River park
Saturday afternoon, when Eddie Nc

held the title of champion of the world.
1t is possible that the race might have

race, while in the lead, his handle bars
becoming loose. He was forced to leave
the track for another machine. which
proved to be in little better condition
than the other.
McDuffie had gained full lap during
the transfer, and as Michael could do
nothing with his new machine he left
the track, coming on again after the
machine had been repaired, but not
any sense competition. Nc
Duffie continued to reel off the
miles during all this time, cutting rec
ord after record, until at the end of the
fifteenth mile and the race he was
