EXECUTION LAYS BARE
 TERRIBLE SECRET CULT

CAPE TOWN, Sept. 30-The exc cution of fourteen natives for murder ing a black who would not join the [" Ninevites" forcibly brings to pub lie attention the danger from this secret society of criminals which now has spread all over the Union of South Africa.
 The Ninevites originated among the inmates of the Pretoria convict pris' on. Two years ago remarkable cyl denc as to the extent of this organ ization was given in the courts Of a murder trial at Kimberley.
 The society was found to have it's own king, general, judges, doctor and executioners. Secret trials were helI and murder and robbery agreed upon. Half the native convicts in the coun' try were found to be members.

AN ALASKAN INDIAN
 STUDENTS EXPERIENCE
AS A RUSSIAN INTERPRETER

After a long break in our series of , articles on the subject, l am going to wiite these experiences again once week, through the courtesy of the Editor of the Progressive, and they will perhaps cover about six weeks or more.
 It does not pay to represent one s self other than he really is, especial iy among strangers. This is very poor business. It always brings forth some very sickening results. As for instance, when any one impresses his
 surroundings as being an accomplished { musician, hnguist, an expert in any
 of the common professions, Greek, Hebrew or Latin scholar, and the like,
 when in fact he is not; his sins will
 find him out quickly and much to his
 own discomfort.
 Such was my predicament at Mer-
 ietta, O., on one day early in the fall
 of 1891, and it was brought about
 through a careless slip of the tongue We were eating at the table when the conversation turned to the sub-
 ject f the Russian occupation of
 Alaska. Naturally I was the center of interest on the subject for I had just come from the northern country.
 At the table was one Mir. Shirley, a bass singer in one of the churches very witty and kind-hearted man, and the station agent of the Zanes- vile and Ohio railroad. He it was that questioned me thus: "I sup pose you fellows talk Russian good deal up there.' After a little hesi- tation, I answered that we did use in Alaska some Conversational Rus sian."
 As matter of fact my knowledge of the Russian language was limited to only one word, the meaning of which the native boys at Sitka told us as equivalent to Chow do you do," in English. That was all the conversational Russian' knew and nothing more, and 1 was not quite sure of that word either.
 I was bending over my books on the day I referred to above when a mes sage from MT. Shirely came asking me to come down and offer him a helping hand at the station. The in- cident of She table was forgotten en- tirely for it occurred full half-year before. The railroad agent however did not forget it and in his troubles he asked me for some help.
 A Russian mother with her two children had come from Russia by way of New York, and was passing through the station on her way to town on the Zanesville line. While waiting for her next train she tried to talk to the agent in a language that he did not understand. So I was asked to come and act as interpreter
 A good sized crowd was hanging a. bout, and as soon as I reached the depot MT. Shirley introduced me to the woman by means of some lively gestures. She at once stood up. l took off my cap, made her polite bow, and after scratching my head, I calculated Russian word that contained all my earthly knowledge of the tongue, "Korasti."
 Instantly the lady answered "Kor- asti," pronouncing it much quicker than I did, and this was followed by
The daily progressive-miner., 1915-09-30

 a flow of undistinguishable foreign words which of course did not know. stood and looked at her for mom- ent, and without waiting for her To finish her sentence I turned and ran out of the depot at top speed back to my room again. That evening l lost my appetite and did not appear at the supper table. Later I appologized to Mir. Shirley who promised not to interfere with my studies again by asking me to interpret for him in Russian.
