The opera there is almost as
brillinatas the opera in Paris. Duels,
suicides, murders are of weekly
occurrence. but formal reception
at st. Petersburg could not boast
of any more culture than is to be
found at smart entertainment in
one of the fashionable homes in
this Siberian city. If any one inn
AGNES New York is swift. visit
to lrkutsk will open his eyes. The
quintessence of vice is to be
found there"
lrkutsk is the capital of eastern
Siberia. 1t has wide streets lined
with fine buildings.
lrkutlsk has among its citizens
more millionaires than any city of
its size in the world, and they have
to spend their money in the city
for the reason that they are rot
allowed to leave the province.
Most of them especially the rich
ones, are convicts or descendants
of convicts who have amassed for
tunes in gold mining. The Balkan
mountains, near Irkutsk, are filled
with rich veins of gold and it is
no eXagcration to say that
thousands of men in this compare
lively small town in the heart of
Siberia have become rich beyond
the dreams of averice. The flood
OF gold has naturally attracted al,
the luxuri cs of the world, and. as
usual, the Injuries have brought
vices.
There is nothing secret about
any of the vices. Every type of
beauty is to be found-bcautiful
geishagils in native costume vieing
with Vieninncse and Paisian women
in the latest creations. All the
gambling houses are wide open,
the more important conducted
under police protection. The cafes
never close and it is between the
hours of midnight and four in the
morning that they're at their
liveliest. Every one drinks; most
of the Russian women smoke cigars,
leaving their Parisians to enjoy
the cigarette.

 that it remained exactly where it fell, having only sufficient horizontal motion to turn it over and leaving no marks in the ground, except where the propeller struck.

 "In my opinion the accident was aused by the combination of circumstaA es I have just spoken of. The originally arp incline of descent, the early stoppas\ of the motor, followed by the guest of w |, and especially the change in the equi- librium of the machine and the lowering of it's center of gravity by the addition of the large tank, half-empty though 1t was.
 "In the death of John Moisant not only his country but the whole world lost a man destined to prominence in the de- velopment of the new art, He was a great believer in the future of aviation and designer and builder of machines himself and not merely an aeroplane driver. I was probably the only one among few witnesses of his death who also witnessed the achievement which suddenly brought him before the eyes of the world. It was at the ystart of the great French cross-cOuntry event, the circuit De L'Est at Paris last August. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the great crowds there that morning at each successive start in the big event, but the most thrilling incident was the appear ance over the roofs of Paris of an un- known monoplane. which dropped out of the sky in the starting enclosure. Two unknowns stepped out of the machine and on introducing themselves were given a. point of vantage on which to see their fellow aviators start in the big race. one of them was John B. Moisant and-the other his broken-hearted friend. Roland Garros." /.
 Moisant Leaves Son
 John B. Moisant was 37 years of age. He was a widower and is survived by a son, Stanlie, aged 15 years, now a student at the San Rafael Military academy in California.
 Funeral services will be conducted at 10 o'clock tomorrow and his body temporarly will be placed in a vault here. Although the dead aviator was not a member of any church the flu neral will be conducted under Catholic rites.
