The Russian Peasantry.

From the Pilgrim.
In the general moral progress Of the peas-
antry the Russian drink monopoly, which
now embraces all European Russia, Is 4
very important factor. The monopoly has
decreased the number Of drink shops by
about six-sevenths, but 1t has failed to de-
crease consumption. and has led to in.
creased street drinking, secret distilling, So
cret selling and other abuses In Its imme-
diate purpose 1t has hitherto failed. But
one of the accompanying measures Is likely
to play very beneficial part in Russian
social development. That Is the institution
of boards of guardians of public sobriety.
The function of these boards Is to create
counter attractions to drink, and each board
has branch and district representative,
SO that there are now in Russia about
1000 persons whose chief duty 1t Is to fight
the drink evil. The boards have established
all over the country thousands of tea
houses, cheap dining rooms, temperance
inns and shelters for workingmen; and they
have built or subsidized hundreds Of ''peo-
ples theaters' and lecture halls. In these
halls-and sometimes in the open air-lec-
lures are given upon the evils of drink
upon hygiene, history. literature and do
nestle economy. The boards also occupy
themselves with the free distribution Of
pamphlets against drink and in favor Of
wholesome living.

SOME LIVES LOST.
Number of Fatalities in the Fire Which
Destroyed the Hoboken Piers Not
Vet Known.

New York, March 19.-No estimate
could be made today of the loss of life
in the fire that started last night on
the Phoenix Line pier in Hoboken and
1t was thought the number of dead
would never be known. Patrick Hus-
sey, longshoreman, who was burned
while trying to escape from the Phoe-
nix pier, died today from the effects
of his injuries. Chief Engineer Scott,
of the steamer British Queen is be-
lieyed to have lost his life on that
vessel. Third Engineer Vereck, says
Scott who was suffering from rheu-
matism, went to the cabin to lie down
a short time before the fire started.
Vereck tried to reach the engineers
quarters to awaken Scott, but was
headed off by the flames and had to
leave the chief engineer to his fate
DR.. Heller, health officer of Hoboken
says all the men OF the British Queen.
with the exception of Scott have been
accounted for. Besides Hussey, four

hospital and are now under treatment
there. All were more or less burned
Some of the longshoremen who saved
themselves by swimming shore say
they saw twenty or thirty men leap

posed to have perished in the fire, walk

badly burned about the face and said
he had dreadful experience.

Gill 5 STRANGE Story
Son OF New Yorker Long
Thought to Have Been Dead
Heard From.
Had Been Prisoner for Twelve
Years Among Australian
Bushmen.
Wife Whom He Left In Brooklyn
Married Again--Fousht
in Philippines.

New York, March 19.-After twelve
years Imprisonment among the BUSH
men in Australia. Joseph j. Gill, SON
of the late Thomas Gill, a well known
Brooklyn manufacturer has been heard
from by his family, who had mourned
him as dead. Gill left home in Au-
gust 1886 and his wife. believing him
dead, married again. Gill sailed from
New York for Australia, where he had
extensive mining interests about five
hundred miles from Sydney and ex-
pected to be gone two or three years.
He left behind a wife and two chill
dren For two years letters were re-
ceived regularly. His mining interests
We're prospecting and he hoped soon to
return to the United States. he wrote
in his last letter. A period In which
no tidings were received from Gill fol-
lowed and then came letter from
the American consul at Sydney. N. 8.
W., stating Joseph Gill, wealthy mine
operator and four companions had
been ambushed and killed by Austral-
ian bushmen in Australia not far from
the mines which the Brooklyn man
controlled. This was the last heard
from Gill until the news of his i'm
prisonment which has just been re-
ceived It came in the form of a let
ter dated Daigupan, northern Luzon.
Philippine Islands addressed to the
chief of police of Brooklyn. 1t is as
follows:
I'm 1886 I left my home in Brooklyn
for Australia, where / was held cap
tive In the interior by bushmen. until
two years ago. I then came to these
islands and entered the campaign with
the Maccabebe scouts. Prior to Az
uinaldo's capture I was severely
wounded and am afraid I am a cripple
for life. Am now making my way
back to Sydney, Australia, to my wife
and child. l do not know if my dear
mother is dead, but would be glad to
know her address If she is alive or
my brothers.. I shall be in Sydney
by the time you receive this letter.
Please address me in care u. s. consul
at Sydney"
The Brooklyn police had little diff
fcuity in finding GIFTS mother. Gable
messages were at once sent to Gill at
Sydney No details have been received
concerning Gills Imprisonment among
the bushmen who murdered his four
companions. After his escape Gill is
said to have attempted to secure I'M
formation concerning his family. The
private detective whom he is said to
have employed reported that his wife
was dead, and soon afterwards Gill
married a Sydney woman. Gill's love
of adventure led to his enlistment in
the Philippine service.
