| ROMANTIC HISTORY

St. Petersburg, May 1.-The funeral
yesterday Of Nine Medezhda Baradina
q well known revoIutionists, who com
mitted suicide abroad aroused the great
est interest in revolutionary circles on
account Of her romantic history.
Nine Baradina was the daughter Of
rich manufacturer Of good social posi-
ton and left her home to engage In the
revolutionary propaganda. She was sent
to Kiev, where she was arrested and
imprisoned for two years, being releas-
Cd in October, 1908, on condition that
she went abroad, where she met NJ.
Baradina, who was known as an ener-
gctic member Of the organization, and
married him.
A few days ago Nine Baradina acct.
dentally opened a letter showing that
her husband was traitor who had sue
csssfully planned the arrest of an inn
poltant group Of terrorists and even
proposed to bring bis wife back To Rus
sia in order to deliver her into the
hands Of the police The police advised
him to delay the latter step in order to
overt suspicion.
Nine Baradina, after reading the let
ter, took poison. Her .ody was brought
TO st, Petersburg and was inferred here
today. the coffin being buried under
wreaths Of crimson flowers.

No Hash Down South.

The May American Magazine contains
the second Of Ray stannard Bakers ar
ticle on the negro in the south. OF the
dependence of the negro upon the whites
for his daily bread Mr.. Baker writes:
1T was simply amazing TO me to see
how lavish many white families are in
giving food, clothing and money to in
diyidual negroes whom they know. 1t
is said that the southern housewife
never serves hash; certainly ! haven't
seen so far sign Of it since / came
down here. The adroit made-over dishes'
Of economical New England are here abb
sent, because nothing is ever left TO
make over The negro eats It upl Even
bread here is not usually baked days
ahead as in the north. but made fresh
for every meal-the famous, delicious
(and iudigestible) hot bread OF the
south. A negro cook often supports her
whole family, including lazy husband,
on what she gets daily from the white
mans kitchen In some old families the
basket habit Of the negroes Is taken
for granted; in the newer ones, it Is,
significantly, beginning 20 be called
stealing, showing that the old order Is
passing and that the negro IS being held
more ana more strictly 60 account, not
as dependent vassal but as moral
being, who must rest upon bis own
responsibility!

For two hours after dinner the work

a foreman of a mahout.
Four elephants twined their trunks
around an iron girder and lifted 1t

led them all In his fury. With one
