NO MORE ExILEs.
The Last Band of Them Has Been
Sent to Siberia.

Sent to siberia.
Siberia has ever been a name associ-
ated with endless and indescribable hor-
rors. That part of the world has ever
been a famous country with the writer's
OF sensational novels. and all on account
of the notorious sufferings and humilia-
tions of the civil and political prisoners
doomed to exile there by the Russian
authorities. In the early summer OF
this year 1t was announced by imperial
edict from ST. Petersburg that hereafter
no more convicts will be sent to Siberia.
Instead, they will serve out their SEN
tences in the prisons Of Russia. The
reason for this state OF affairs is not
hard to seek. Siberia is growing in in
dustrial and commercial Importance. 1t
is now necessary to people that vast
tract, commonly understood to be a cold,
desolate wilderness, with the respecta-
Bile and responsible classes of CONNER
cial and mechanical workers. To have
Siberia continue as land of felons and
political intriguers would be to prevent
the better class OF Russians from mi
grating there and investing.
In August the last train load of exiles
crossed the border of Russia over the
transsiberian railway With one excep-
tion these wretched beings belonged to
the moujik. or peasant class. The ex-
ceptioa was a beautiful and refined look
ing young woman, the solitary political
prisoner of the miserable lot She was a
nihilist, or accused Of being one-which
often amounts to much the same thing
in Russia. From the way in which the
soldiers ogled her it will be realized how
much delight they took in tormenting
her.
For the ordinary criminals who have
been sent to Siberia in the past the pun
ishment has never been excessive They
were allowed to work out their sentences,
seldom long ones and were then assisted
by the government to settle in the land
Of their exile, paying trivial rents for
the crown lands upon which they were
induced to settle. These common Grim
inals were allowed to have their families
with them, and thus a considerable and
rather prosperous population has been
built up. But for the exiles condemned
for serious political offenses there has
ever beer but little hope. They gradual
ly died under hardship and abuse The
lot of women political convicts in the
past has been too terrible for thought.
Siberia has been a land Of exiIes ever
since 1881. II is to be hoped that, now
these unhappy ones are to be confined in
Russia and thus mere directly under the
eyes Of responsible officials, many Of the
frightfnl horrors that have made penal
servitude a lifelong nightmare will be
abolished.-Lesie's Weekly.

GURFEW IN NEW YORK.
A Woman in That State Should Be
Home by Midnight.

Home by Midnight.
NEW YORK, Dec 12-Justice Andrews
in the supreme court, today handed down
a decision, In which he holds that a
woman should be home at midnight. The
quesuon arose on an application by Flor
ehee Aoell, dressmaker, to enjein Jacob
A. Omdrake, her landlord, from closing
the front door of the house, and not i'm
medlately admitting her when she rang
the bell Miss Abel says. she leased two
rooms from the defendant to carry on
her dressmaking, and sleeping apart
ments. She was to be allowed her shop
open from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m but was to
be admitted afterwards at any reasonabIe
time. She complained that on Nov. 10
and Is, she was locked out, and on the
second occasion could not obtain admit
lance and had to take a room at a hotel.
She said that she was kept in all day at
her business, and did not take it unrea-
sonable that she should go afterwards to
theater or elsewhere with friends She
asked that the owner be compelled either
to give her key or see that she was
admitted whenever she rang the bell.
-Omdrake said it was necessary to keep
the house locked at night, as tenants had
a great amount of valuable there The
first night, he said, there was some de-
lay in admitting the plaintiff, and the
second night, he and his family had gone
to bed and did not hear her
Justice Andrews said he could not COM
pei the defendant to give the plaintiff a
key to the outer door, as by the terms of
her lease she was only entitled to access
at reasonable hours. He granted her
preliminary Injunction, requiring the de-
PENDANT to permit her to enter her PREM
ises at all reasonable hours, and prompt

NOW FOR THE ICE BOATS.
Lovers of the Sport Begin Operation
at Minnetonka.

at MimnetOnka.
Lake Minnetonka has finally given in
to Jack Frost and there is now sufficient
ice on the lake to warrant the presence
of ioe yachts. The thickness of the ice
ranges from two TO six inches in most OF
the territory and there is space for ex-
cellent sport at the present time. How
ever. few strips still open prevent the
boats going over the regular course.
A number of yachtsmen are taking
advantage of conditions as they are and
interest in the sport is growing stronger
every day. Commodore Theodore Wet
more was among the first to try the ice
With a number of members of the club
aboard the Ava .anche, Mr.. Wetmore made
several short tours and found the ice

for action and a lively regatta is locked
for. The Minnetonka yachtsmen are anx-

The Minnetonka members continue to
discuss the advisability of arranging

club. Many of the local enthusiasts are
of the opinion that a good showing could
