VOLCANO BORN" PROPHET
ENDING OF AN EXTRAORDINARY
TRIAL IN THE COURTS OF
VOLOGDA.
Lieskoff, PeddIar, Convicted of Dis.
loyalty to tho .Czar-Man of
Bad Morals.

BERLIN, Aug. S.-An ordinary trial
just concluded in Vologda, sheds
glazing light on the extraordinary ad-
ministratiOn of justice in the cars
dominions. The presiding judge is
reported by the local press to have
explained that immortality is not a
punishable offense, but that disloyalty
to the car called for the very heav-
lest punishment.
AS a result, Andrei Liesnikoff, an
aged pedlar, was sentenced last week
to sixty-five years imprisonment. His
case had lasted nearly a year, and no
fewer than $50 female witnesses testi-
fed during the trial. Evidence of the
most extraordinary credualty among
the Vologda peasantry was given, the
story told savoring more of the 18th
than the goth century. For years, it
was proved, Liesnikoff had been in the
habit of masquerading among the SIM
pie moujiks as a Heaven-sent prophet.
Born, he said, spontaneously of VOL
cano, he had been sent into the world
to reveal to the women of the villagee
in which he happened to be at the time,
that one of their number was destin-
ed to be the mother of the present
cars successor on the throne. Mich
olas II, he affirmed, would probably
never see a son, and, if he did, that
son would die before twelve months
had passed. Discredited among his
people, the present car would, In
the year 1906, adopt a peasant boy, of
which he Uiesnikofft was fated to be
the father. 1t was proved at the trial
that more than 200 peasant girls had
been entrapped by the extraordinary
scoundrel.

PERFECT MAN.
Wizard Of the Vegetable Kingdom Says
New Race Is Possible.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. S.-A race of
perfect human beings-men, women
and children, physically, mentally and
spiritually rounded out to perfection
might be developed easily if the train
ing of the young were studied as care
fully and the results of the investiga-
tions applied as we'll as has been the
case in plant culture, or even the de-
velopment of weeds.
This is the doctrine Rev. James
Lee, pastor of ST. Johns Southern
Methodist church, has brought back
from Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa
Cal, the famous wizard Of the vegeta-
BILE kingdom who values mis- time at
$3.50 ain hour.
DR.. Lee, while in the west, went tc
see Burbank, saying he wished he
could introduce into the method of
rearing children some of the scientific
ideas the Californian was applying ev-
eryday to the improvement of plants.
LAS l made this remark DR.. Lee
sair, "Mr Burbanks eyes flashed and
he exclaimed enthusiastically, Were
the proper methods produced it would
be easy to produce the perfect man.,
DR.. Lee said that Burbank declared
plants, weeds and trees were respon-
sive to a few influences in their en-
vironments, but that children were in
finitely more responsive, and the fail
ure to recognize the fact of the spirit
ual element in the environing condi-
tions of children has been the fatal
lack of dealing with them.
Speaking of the methods of Thomas
j. Barnado of London in educating
waits, Burbank said the Englisnman
was demonstrating that infinitely
more can be done with children than
he was doing with plants and weeds.
He said that every person should be
perfect, and only needed the same at
tention in training that he is giving to
weeds.

Other Forms Of Indulgence,
Says Tobacco Man.

representative of one of the larg-
est manufacturers of chewing tobacco
in the world, in an interview with an
Evening Statesman representative at
the Hotel Dacres this morning stated
that the crusade against splitting in
public places inaugurated all over the
United States few years ago, had
cut into the chewing tobacco business
to a tremendous extent.
In nearly all the large Cities" said
the gentleman, stores that sell chew
ing tobacco, now sell half as much as
they formerly did, and manufacturers
generally attribute the changed pub
lie demand to the anticipating cru
SADIE. 1t is a misdemeanor to spit on
the streets of nearly any large city at
present. The hygienic benefits of the
crusade are not to be doubted, and
the tobacco manufacturers are not
complaining, because they have devot-
ed part of their activities to the man.
ufacture of other tobacco goods, CT
gars and cigarettes, as we'll as smok-
ing tobacco, the consumption of which
has increased as that of chewing mas
decreased.
There was a time when an enOr-
nous percentage of the population
chewed perpetually. They chewed in
church, on the street cars, in the thea
ters. Now the cigarette represents
what chewing tobacco used to repre-
sent in the way of tobacco cOnsump-
ton.
Il notice that the city authorities are
abandoning their Walla Walla signs,
formerly used to warn spitters. The
education of the public against spit
! ting has progressed so far that the
sidewalks are conspicuously cleaner
than they used to be. This is true not
only in Walla Walla, but in all the
larger cities of the United States. The
few arrests and fines for splitting
worked wonders everywhere

VOLO, THE VOLlTANT.
Wonderful Mid Air Exploit of Arching
an Aerial Abyss.

The feat is most certainly an ex-
| traordinary one. When it was first
presented in Paris it Immediately be-
came the subject of talk throughout
the city and was pronounced in that
birthplace of surprises as the most
novel, dangerous and thrilling ever
seen. The marvellous feat, while one
of many new ones presented this sea-
son by the Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Snow on Earth is quite different in it's
character from all others. 1t is far and
beyond a greater act than looping-the
loop which fascinated the public when
it was presented in New York, for
whereas in the latter the heroic ar
fist makes a circuit of the loop at
lightning speed, in this newest and
most fearful exploit the rider flies on
his bicycle through space a distance
of forty odd feet, the only support of
the name implies, there is wide abyss,
which yawning gulf the daring opera
tor has to pass over. He first dasnes
nearly down a precipitous plane, gath
ering awful momentum as he descends,
and in sufficient quantity to cause him
when he reaches the wide-open gap,
to fly across it, reach the opposite side,
when whizzing with meteOric speed he
safely finishes the course and dashes
to the opposite side. The feat is stat
ed to be of soul-stirring character and
to be absolutely without parallel on
earth. There are several of these thrill
ing and highly sensational episodes
which punctuate the three hours of
performances Of the great show. And
there are yet others again which, be-
sides the merit of being positive the
only ones of their kind to be seen any
where. are of such a daredevil and
ath-defying character as to satisfy
the most exacting seeker after high
class foreign sensations.
The performance of the Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Snow on Earth this
season begins with marvelously>
beautiful and picturesque prelude
which purports to be reproduction
of the gorgeous Durbar which took
place in Delhi, before the viceroy OF
Vicerine. In this magnificent and
costly entertainment one gets a fair
idea of the fabulous wealth OF the
Orient, and the vast sums expended
in elegant embroideries studded with
Jewels and precious gems OF the same
character and kind that mas made stor-
les of the east seem like Arabian
Nights tayes. There are the menas-
cries. elephants, and other attractions
n vast amplitude, so that all visitors
ave no complaint to make except that
here is too much to see. All Will be
ere undivided on August IA.
