PRIMITIVE HANGINGS
COMMON IN RUSSIA
Prisoners Are Taken TO Woods and
Strung Up 10 Limb of
Tree

ST. PETERSBURG. oct 24-"stoly-
pins Neckue'-the hangman's rope
is getting such an evil reputation in
Russia that some serious people are
suggesting the guinotine as a less bar
barous form Of execution.
Legally there IS no capital punish
ment in Russia, and persons are now
executed under martial law. Those who
are not shot are hanged in a horribly
primitive way. because there is no
proper appliance for executions.
Prisoners sentenced to death in St.
Petersburg are taken In the early
morning under strong guard OF sol
diers to a lonely spot on the seashore
and amid the pine forest
The eXecutioner, previously we'll prim-
ed with vodka, fastens his rope TO a
branch and puts the halter around the
neck Of the victim, who is made TO
stand on a rough box. This is then
violently knocked away. leaving the
condemned man dangling in "Stoly-
pins Necktie." 1t is sometimes twenty
minutes before the wretched creature
ceases TO struggle. The body is buried
Immediately after death In a shallow
grave in the forest.

PARIS. oct. PA curious strike is at
present taking place at Lorient, where
the inhabitants have been forced 10 be-

at the municipal abattoir are on a
strike.
The men complain Of the severity OF
the manager Of the slaughter houses,
who sought to apply TO the latter a
regulation relating TO cleanliness. Ae-
cording TO this regulation the butchers
and their assistants ere liable to be
fined if they do not keep their slaughter
houses in proper order. a committee
from the municipal couL visited the
abattoir and found that the manager 5
action was necessary. The butcher
men then declared strike and the shops
were speedily deserted. Beth masters
and men are united on the question UNI

dismissal Of the manager.
Only residents OF the town are 6f-

be seen daily in the streets of the

For the sake of novelty some of the
young men go afoot, while others drive
their own autos or carriages. They
visit stores. lounge in the cafes, go
stunning. and inspect the landmarks,
museums and mosques which hereto
fore they knew only from photographs
and pictures. The pOpulaCe treats them

All the imperial princes are frequent

OAMROSCHAS' RISE
HAS BEEN EVENTFUL.

The first experiences of Walter Dam
roschas as conductor We're gained as
assistant to his father, Dr. Leopold
Damrosch. Then he spent a wonderful
summer in Frankfort with Hans Won
BuloW. his fathers old friend-a sum-
mer that was the envy of hosts of
other young musicians like DamrosC h.
Won Bulow spent most of the hours of
the day with his precOciOus pupil,
going over scores of the Beethoven and
Brahms symphonies. That was the
summer of 1868. Won BuIow became
Walter Damroschs loyal friend and
never let an opportunity slip there
after to testify to the young mans
artistic attachments.
On taking up his fathers work in
New York, Mr.. Damrosch endured the
harshest and most unfriendly newspa-
per attacks, merely because of his
youth.
