THE WOE OF RUSSIA.
Terrible Destitution Prevailing in
MANY Places,

! News from Russia is ominous of
horror. The perennial scourge of
that empire, famine, is again more
than commonly rampant. We are
told, on authority of the imperial gov
eminent, that in Kherson is the great
| province at the north Of the Black sea,
of which the city of Odessa is the cap
ital, with an area more than half as
| large as that of New York state and a
population of nearly 100000. Smo-
| lensk is a central province, just west
of Moscow, nearly as large as West
Virginia and with nearly 100000 in
! habitants. Tomsk is that vast prov
| ince Of southwestern Siberia into
! which settlers have been pouring by
| hundreds Of thousands since the ST.
| berian railroad was built, and which
| has been proudly called the grainfeld
of the world, with an area ont-thir1
larger than Texas and population of
| probably 10000 900. The three, widely
separated, have together an area sew
en- and half times as great as that of
New York state and population Is
| numerous, and in them the crops are
complete failure
Nor is that all. In half a dozen
other provinces the case is nearly as
bad. These include four clustered
around Kherson, to wit, Bessaraula,
Kief, Podona and TaUrida-tne whole
southwestern corner of European
Russia, with an area as large as New
York state and a population much
greater. The other two are in Siberia.
One is Tobolsk, the vast and popul Jus
province just beyond the Urals, the
southern part of which is traversed by
the railroad, and the area of which is
twice that Of Texas. The other is
Transatlantic, the garden of eastern
Siberia, bordering upon Manchuria,
nearly as large as Texas. The popu-
lation OF these two Siberian provinces
has grown greatly in recent years, and
now probably numbers close to three
millions. These six semi-destitute
provinces have, therefore, a popula-
ton of between II 900, 900 and 1000.

HAMILTON TO PRISON,
Murderer of Young Day Taken to Still
water

Minneapolis, March ia hand
some, smooth-shaven young man, IN a
neat-fitting dark blue suit and box
overcoat of latest cut, with sad ex-
preston on his face, walked into the
st. Paul depot with a swinging, ath.
letic stride yesterday afternoon and a.
once boarded a train bound for Still
water. He was accompanied by
thick-set, gray-haired man, a jailer,
who apparently paid no more attention
to his young friend than as if he had
been simply travelling companion.
In the depot the young man who has
lately been the cynosure Of all eyes,
attracted no attention. He was
known to but few of the bystanders.
The young man was Frank H.
Hamilton, on his way to the states
prison, to enter upon the seven-year
term of Imprisonment to which he
Eas recently sentenced when found
guilty Of having killed the wealthy
young Leonard r. bay in a hotel
brawl
Hamilton's identity became known
on the train but there were only few
passengers to embarrass him with
their curious regard. It was a beauti-
full, sunny spring day on which to be
deprived of liberty, and this thought
was reflected in the prisoners more
than usually sad aspect. He said as
much.
It's pretty tough to be locked up
day like this, old man." he said to the
single newspaper man who said good
bye to him, and he made a rather
poor attempt at smile. Everything
comes to him who waits he con-
Guided, more cheerfully, "and | sup
pose my time will come again"
Hamilton said that he had no fare
we'll speech to make; that he was not
naturally given to sentimentality. He
felt that he had much to be thankful
for in the way his friends had stood
by him and believed in him through
all his trouble. He hoped some day to
be able to repay them for the kindness
shown him during his incarceration
in che county Jail
He was in much better spirits and
in better health when the train pulled
out than he has been since his arrest
The breath of fresh air, one more
glimpse of the great, bustling, busy
world which was to be shut off from
him SO long when the prison gates
changed to behind him quickened his
circulation and frightened deep gray
eye that has lost much of it's luster
behind prison bars already. Hamilton
practically lived out of doors, and was
wrapped up in outdoor sports, which
make prison life even more irksome
and Iaendurable.
Miss Johnson of Colorado Springs,
who has been daily visitor at his
cell almost from the day of his arrest,
had long talk with him in the morn
ing. She was at the Jail again when
he was taken out, and their leavetak.
ing was an affecting one. She will re-
turn to Colorado today.

GuterGerG'S Achievement.

In the Century, Augustine Birrell
thus characterizes Gutenberg's epoch
making invention: The invention of
movable types was the greatest dis
tributive invention that ever was Or
probably ever can be made. 1t cir
culated knowledge among the chill
dren of men, and PLAYS much the same
part in human life as does the trans
mission of force in the world Of phys
les. 1t was marvellous how quickly
thought was circulated even in the
age of manuscripts. A book like St.
AugustIne's City of God was soon
copied thousands of times. and
travelled through Europe after a
quicker fashion than most printed
books can today reasonably hope to
do; but st. Augustine occupied a
unique position, and handspring,
though great trade employing
thousands of scribes, could never have
fed the New Learning or kept alive
the reformation. The age of Guten.
berg was an age of ideas, and de-
manded books, just as our day is a
day Of mechanics, and demands cheap
motion. telegraphy, and telephones,
Gutehberg's first printing-office is
marked by a tablet. Go and gaze
upon it. and think of the New York
Herald, the London Times" and
the Bible for twopence. The Power
of the Press, coupled with the name
OF Johann Gensf1eisch, commonly
called Gutenberg, would be fine
toast, but dare say Mr. Choate would
respond to it after dinner in filter
terms than ever could the oid-fash-
Toned printer, who led hard life and
died dispossessed of his business and
in poverty.
