RELICS OF DARK AGES.
BARBARISM PRACTICED BY MANY
CIVILIZED NATIONS.
<Tac Fiendish Custom of Tot luring- Prlt
•oere —Some of the Fearful Modes In
Operation In Russia and Turkey—Rus-
■laaa Are Inhuman but Turks Arc Worse.
The examination of accused persons by
torture is permitted today in only two
European states, Turkey and Russia.
The method in Russia is illustrated in
the experience of forty-six prisoners re
cently condemned on political charges
at Warsaw. The details may seem in
credibfe, but they are circumstantially
given by a delegate from Poland to
Western Europe, the accuracy of whose
statements there is no reason to doubt.
The-charge against the forty-six Poles
was that of "belonging to a secret soci
ety which had for its object to alter,
sooner or later, the existing form of gov
ernment This they were told verbally,
no written document whatsoever being
shown to them.
Pohtical suspects are not allowed to
seek any legal advice in self defense.
The tavestigation is managed not by
judges or lawyers, but by officers of the
geodarxoerie. The gendarmes are paid
doable-salary while engaged in political
investigation, and it is therefore to their
interests to protract the process as much
as possible.
MAKING A PRISONER INSANE.
Among the accused was one Ladislas
Gaisbort. He was a private tutor of
good reputation. While in prison he fell
ill with a fever and became delirious.
Little or no care was taken of him, bnt
on the contrary attempts were made to
profit by the disturbed condition of his
mind to extort confessions from Mm.
The gendarmes hit upon an ingenious do-
Vice to weaken his mind by breaking up
his rest. Every half hour or so during the
night they would enter his cell under the
pretext of attending to a small oil lamp.
They made such a noise and clatter
that the prisoner awoke, and then the
gendarmes would question him, think
ing that m his half sleepy condition he
might make some imprudent answers.
Sometimes Colonel Bielanowski caused
this unfortunate man to be brought out
of his cell after midnight, so that he
might sign the minutes or protocol of
questions that had been put to him while
he was in bed.
Such treatment, inflicted at a moment
when the patient was suffering from
fever, sc aggravated the delirium that
ultimately Ladislas Guisbert completely
lost his reason. After a time he became
a raving lunatic and was removed to a
madhouse.
Another prisoner, named Ferdinand
Zaleski, was asked to give information
about the propaganda carried on in the
factories of Warsaw and neighborhood.
He refused to turn informer. Thereupon
the authorities gave orders that Zaleski
should be conveyed to another part of
the prison and severely flogged. Colonel
Bielanowski accompanied the prisoner
and took his seat at a little table well
provided with writing materials and
directed that the prisoner should be
questioned while being flogged.
ONE MAN'S TORTURE.
The colonel was ready to take down
his answers, and doubtless had these
proved satisfactory the severity of the
flogging would have been mitigated,
Zaleski bravely endured the torture. He
did not answer a question or utter a
word. This man had been cruelly tor-
tured because he would not say only
what the gendarmes supposed or guessed
he might know. The authorities, now
fearing that this modern revival of the
old and barbaric custom of craestioning
under torture might, if known, cause
the outbreak of serious disturbances in
the town, determined to prevent all fur
ther cwmmrrnication between the pris
oners and their friends and relatives.
All permissions for interviews were
withdrawn, and it was only at the mo
ment the prisoners were about to leave
Warsaw that the authorities allowed
them to see their friends. At this in
terview the truth became known.
in Turkey torture is a regular part of
the criminal process, and not, as in Rus
sia, comparatively exceptional. Foreign
ers, of coarse, are subject to the juris
diction of the diplomatic representatives
of their respective countries, bat the na
tives, whether Christian or Turk, are at
thfirnercy of the sultan and his agents.
Western forms of trial are unknown,
and while imprisonment is the nominal
penalty for many crimes, Turkish im
prisonment is a lingering death. The
methods of extracting information from
accused persons in Turkey would be al
most incredible in a civilized country.
TURKEY EVEN WORSE THAN RUSSIA.
The bastinado is freely applied on sus
picion of the most trifling offences. It
is tine that the beating often includes
the penalty of conviction. The magis
trate causes the prisoner to be thrashed
until he has confessed and then lets him
go as sufficiently punished. But sus
pected political offenders, who in Tur
key as in all despotic countries are con
sidered among the gravest, are dealt
with in ways that make the uastinado
seem a pleasant pastime.
Daring tire panic in Constantinople on
the subject of an Armenian insurrection
hundreds of Armenians were arrested
and thrown into prison. It has been
openly charged that several of them died
under tortures applied with a view of
obtaining evidence of a conspiracy that
had no existence. One man was laid in
the courtyard of the prison, in the glare
of the son, bound hand and foot, and his
face besmeared with some sweet sub
stance to attract flies.
Another was hung np by hands and
feet, and still another was compelled to
walk up and down, pulled along by sol
diers, who relieved each other in detail,
never permitting their victim to rest a
moment, A number of the Armenians
perished in tins way before the Turks
tame to the conclusion that no insurrec
tion was thought of. Then the sultan
ordered the wholesale release of all that
remained. —Chicago Herald.
All for a Slight Error.
The Berlin correspondent of a «yncr
eate of provincial papers is responsible
for the following story: "On the occa
sion of the reassembling of the holy
synod in the Russian capital it was re
solved to forward to his majesty, in ac
cordance with traditional usage, the
archipastoral benediction. The clerk
who employed to prepare the docu
stent formally communicating the pious
resolution made a curious mistake. By
a slip of the pen he wrote 'architectural'
instead of 'arcMpastoral,' and the reso
lution was forwarded without the error
being detected.
"When the czar received it he htngbed
heartily and wrote on the margin, 'I
have no need of such a blessing.' He
then dismissed the matter from his mini 1.
The document, however, with the impe
rial annotation, found its way back to
the holy synod, and produced among the
members of that body the greatest sur
prise and consternation. Without stop
ping to investigate the matter the eccle
siastics who were responsible for the res
olution jumped to the conclusion that
they had in some way or other inenrred
the czar's displeasure, and that his maj
esty's comment was an intimation to
them that they were expected immedi
ately to resign.
"They accordingly went in a body to
the imperiid palace and humbly tendered
their joint and resignations. It
was now the turn of the czar to be over
whelmed with amazement, and it was
only after a good deal of embarrassment
and reciprocal explanations that the
matter was set right. The interview
terminated with a mild hint on the part
of his majesty that, even in the records
of religious bodies, verbal accuracy is a
very desirable quality."
The Time for Pansy Beds.
There is nothing more attractive in the
early spring than a pansy bed. In order
to secure blossoms early the plants must
have attained a proper size under glass.
It is necessary, therefore, to sow pansy
seed early. Any long wooden box fitted
into a sunny window in a moderately
cold room, but where it does not freeze,
will do for a seedbox. Bo sure the
earth is rich, well fertilized with thor
oughly rotted compost and woodmold,
and that it is tine and friable, so the
tiny seed can easily tlirust down their
slender roots in it. Keep the earth mod
erately moist after sowing the seed, and
in a short time the little plants will be
up and growing.
It requires some resolution to thin out
the greater portion of them In order to
give those that are left sufficient room
to grow, but this must be done without
sparing or all the plants will be weak
lings. Very pretty effects can be pro
duced by raising a box of white or near
ly white pansies for a border, and a box
of mixed, dark, velvety ones for the cen
ter of the bed. These quaint, blotched,
lovely flowers seem more like living
things than any other blossom. "Old
ladies" is the German name for them,
bnt the English name of pansy from
"our thoughts'" has a touch of finer
fancy.—New York Tribune.
Presents at Easter.
The custom of giving Easter presents
grows every year, and now this festival
is second only to the supreme one of
Christmas in this regard. A few years
ago an Easter card, or at most an egg
shaped bonbonniere filled with sweet
meats, was the height of a giver's ambi
tion. Now the limit is difficult to set.
A palm in a hundred dollar jar, a price
less Watteau fan or an old miniature,
rare and costly, may do duty an an
Easter offering if the shrine is especially
worshiped and your purse is in keeping
with your desire.
The egg element has been considerably
eliminated in the modern Easter, bonbon
boxes having suddenly taken on an al
most indefinite variety. Those in Dres
den china are undoubtedly the most to
be prized. Certainly porcelain candy
boxes are the most sensible, as they out
live the confections and the day. One
hears, however, of $150 paid for a hand
painted bonbonniere exquisitely deco
rated with ribbons, feathers and real lace
—all of which, bai#.ng the lace, is wick
edly perishable, considering the price.
Beautiful gifts are the small portrait
screens which are copies in miniature of
Louis Seize designs and the Sedan chairs
in Dresden.—New York Times.
Giving; New Tork Children a Vacation.
Those who apply for a chance to send
their children to the country are in
structed that they must bo poor and
needy, without any infectious disease,
clean and free from vermin. A physi
cian then inspects each child. Dr. C. C.
Vinton was the examining physician
last year, and he examined nearly 15,000
children, of whom about 5,000 were sent
into the country. Each day the board
of health furnished a list of the houses
where there was any contagions disease,
which was of immense help. With that
list before him it was easy for the ex
aminer to stop any child who came from
an infected house. Tho majority were
refused on account of their hopeless con
dition as to vermin. It is a herculean
task to get the average tenement house
child in a suitable condition to be re
ceived into country families. —Key. Wil
lard Parsons in Scribner's.
New York's good friend, Ismail, the
ex-khedive of Egypt, who presented the
city with the obelisk in Central park, is
still practically a prisoner at Constanti
nople. He is confined in a palace, and
when he goes out is always accompanied
by an ill looking lot of Turks. These
are ostensibly his guard of honor, but in
reality they are soldiers who never lose
sight of their distinguished prisoner.
D. D. Martin, of Dublin, Cal., made
quite a raid on the squirrels after a re
cent storm. He prepared five gallons of
poisoned barley and scattered it near tha
squirrel holes on forty acres of land, and
succeeded in killing 4,821 by actual count.
Oklahoma is nearly as large as the
state of Ohio. It has 60,000 inhabitants,
a larger number than either Wyoming
or Nevada has, and is now about ready
for statehood.
A National Event.
The holding of the World's Fair in acity
scarcely fifty years old will be a remarkable
event, but whether it will really benefit this na
tion us much as the discovery of the Restorative
Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is doubtful.
This is just what the American people need to
cure their excessive nervousness, dyspepsia,
headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, neuralgia,
nervous debility, dullness, confusion of mind,
etc. It acts like a charm. Trial bottles and
