REFUSE TO HAVE NAMES
PUT DOWN IN WRITING
Curious Ancient Greed That
Survives in Russian Colony
in Exile.
Special Cablegram to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June 24-One of
those curious instances of quaint his
torical survival of which many occur in
Asia Minor has lately come before
official Russian attention in CONSTANT
nople.
1t is the case Of a colony of about 5000
Russian Cossacks, settled in Anatolia.
Asia Minor The forefathers of these
Cossacks left Russia for voluntary exile
$50 years ago. Their departure was oc-
casioned by an attempt to enroll their
names for census purposes in writing.
According to the creed of these peasants.
the writing down of their names jeop-
ardizes their chances of salvation, for il
involved the curse Of anti-Christ. en-
abling him to set his seal upon them.
During the whole Of this time the Cos
sacks have kept their identity absolutely
intact. They speak a Russian dialect
bearing the same relation to the language
of the present day as does our modern
English to that of Chaucer. They wear
the Russian dress OF three centuries
ago, and even grow herbs, uncultivated
elsewhere in Anatolia. to make the dish
es that were the food of medieval Russia
Wanted for Soldiers.
A few months ago this little band OF
Russian exiles found themselves suddenly
faced by the same danger that threatened
their ancestors in the sixteenth century
The Turkish government. having decided
to call upon it's Christian subjects for
military service. demanded the enroll
ment Of those men Of the community who
were of age, and again they were In
danger OF the seal of anti-Christ.
This time split occurred. The young
men urged that since they could not
avoid enrolment it were best to serve In
Russia among their kindred, but the
older members were in favor OF remain
ing The arbitration Of the Russian con
sui in Constantinople was invoked, and
through his agency funds were obtained
from the Russian government to enable
those who wished to do SO to return tt
Russia. leaving the rest to live on a tiny
chronological island among the races OF
Anatolia.

Kane prayed gently, but audibly. The
thief listened. and gruffiy expressed peni-
tence, and assurance that he meant no
harm besides getting a few family valu-
ables. He then made off with purse
