Drinking Place.
SPICKAEDYIIXE, Mo., Feb. lo. The tem
perance crusade in this section of the state
ishpreading. It reached here early last
week and the temperance forces have been

boys and curious men. ith the rocks
the women smashed in all the windows,
and with the axes chopped down the door.

women possessed themselves of the bot
tle and kegs of beer and barrels of
whisky, and carrying them into the streets,
their contents were emptied into the gut
ter. Returning to the saloon the fixtures
were demolished and the crusaders' work
was done. Hamilton Brady, the owner of
the building, says he will prosecute tho
women for destroying his property. Drury
Davis, tho man who ran the saloon, has
nothing to say.

been frequently interruped by heartv ap
plause. I take that applause notso'much
es a tribute to invself as one to the chief
executive of this great nation." he said;
then there was another hearty outburst.
"I know," he continued, "how disap
pointed my father was that he could not
accept your kind invitation to be present

uetermineu to seize tho first possible op
portunity to come among you and to know

was stopped by the applause.
Referring to the late Air. Grady ho said:

and candor and truth of my nature, that

INFERNAL INGENUITY
Could scarcely devise more excruciating
tortures than those of which you see the
evidences iu the face of a rheumatic or
neuralgic sufferer. The agonies are the
consequence of not checking n rheumatic

sh.iui.ui mecucai practitioners to possess
not only remedial bur. defensive efficacy,
where those diseases exist, or a tendency
to them is exhibited. Surely this puissant
but safe botanic medicine, bearing, too,
such high specific sanction, is better than
the poisons often employed, but most un
safe, not only in continuance, but in iso
lated doses. The blood is depurated thor

Four of five passengers were wedged in the

SUBURBANITES.
Ke
of TJ raws and Enis Who Work ia tha
City and JAt in the Country.
The great army that, between tho rising
and setting of every week day sun, comes to
and departs from tho city, is a rapidly grow
ing element-of city life and of country living.
Half of those that toil with brim andmuscle,
in the city, livfe on the hues of the roads con
verging in Pittsburg. Theyear3 that have
passed since this army grew into being have
served to develop interesting characteristics
in its formation, its movements and its daily
methods. It possesses now much of tho disci
pline of a well trained army marching under
banners. In its diurnal, double march the
army of railway patrons reveals certain char
acteristics that grow more distinct each year,
and that aro aided in development by the
train service of tho road patronized. This
service is, generally speaking, so good as to
permit tho dweller in the suburbs to choose
his hour for going to work, as readily as if ho
lived in the block ad joining his office or work
shop. 1-jus tho first trains cityward carry the
dinner bucket and overall brigade, the bono
and sinew; the privates in the great army;
the rank and file that must go early to work
and bear the heat and burden of a full day's
length. The smoking cars are crowded, but
tho smokers puff from pipes rather than ci
gars. These patrons board their trains near
the city limits, for their means do not per
mit their living far in the country. The car
goes of these early trains, hurrying cityward
in the gray of the morning, are a good na
tured, manly lot of men, whose presence in
tho city vitalizes its great workshops and
mills and sets their wheels going ere the more
favored class have partaken of matutinal
coffee.
Succeeding trains bring in the clerks and
salesmen, who are yet struggling in humble
paths of labor, but who hope, era long, to
graduate to a later train. Between S and 9
o'clock tho men whoso toil has been fairly re
warded, who aro employers, not employes,
come to town. Also tho natty bank clerk,
that, by virtue of his calling, can tarry later
in bed than his fellow laborer in tho other
places, or the clerk in tho railroad office. In
this later train tho smoking car is thick with
fumes from real cigars, and the coaches are
filled with men that mako use of their half
hour in tho train to master tho contents of
the morning paper.
A glance through tho train is a glance
through a vista of newspapers, over the top
of each appearing tho head of a man who
works with his brains. It is a glance that,
day after day, reveals tho devotion of tho
business man to tho press of his city. Result:
Ho comes to his office mentally equipped
with knowledge; possessed' of tho details of
tho markets, failures and all pertaining to his
position as a well informed man abreast of
the times. As tho sun reaches tho meridian
the patronage possesses no distinct ivo feat
ures, being mado up of fair shoppers and
varied characteristics.
As the day declines tho purple and fine
linen members of tho army that ebbs and
flows twice every twenty-four hours fill tho
early evening trains, and the conditions of
tho morning are reversed, the dinner bucket
brigado departing between 5:110 and 0:30.
The stragglers of the army and thoso that
make up an army in itself tho amusement
seekers round out tho day and add to tho
variety of tho maiu army with its mobile
rank and file. In proportion to jts population
this moving army of Pittsburg is larger than
in any other city of the land, and it is grow
ing in numbers diily. PJttsburg Bulletin.

If the coming woman is at all liko a quar

will seriously regrot it. Tho four wero play

boys of about their own ago or a little older
camo by, and ono of them grabbed the ball
and started away with it. Tho girls set out
in pursuit and captured one of the boys, but
not tho ono who had tho ball. They sur
rounded their captive and pinched him until
ho roared with pain. "Give us back our
ball," they said, "and wo will let you go."
"That other fellow got it," their victim
groaned out.
"Then tako us to his houso."
"Naw, I won't."
Tho pinching recommenced and the boy,
with tears running down his face, consented
to point out his accomplice's dwelling place.
Tho largest of the girls took his arm and
the party starred out on their quest.
Ho led them to a little houso on Clarion
street aud they knocked at the door. Their
summons was answered by a middle aged
-woman, to whom they told their story. Slio

house and brought back the culprit with her.
"Is this tho boy?"' said she.
"Yes'm," they announced, in a chorus. A
search through his pockets brought forth tho
ball, and tho girls wero given back their
property. They went their way rejoicing,
and as they journeyed towards Federal street
there fell upon tho air a series of dull, sicken
ing thuds, mingled with a sound of a boy
giving forth vent to his sufferings, and a
peaceful smile stolo over tho faces of tho

A TALK WITH GEORGE KENNAN ON
THE SIBERIAN EXILE SYSTEM.
How He Came to Blake His Famous Jour
ney to the Vast Prison Camp of the
Czar Convicts of High and Iw Decree.
How They Suffer.
Special Correspondence.
New Tohk, Feb. Z-. George Kennan, the
Siberian traveler, was talking to a gronp of
interested listeners at the Everett house the
other evening on the subject of exile life
among tho Russians. Ho had just returned
from ono of his popular lecture tours, during
which he entertained largo audiences by de
scribing with graphic power the sufferings of
tho prisoners of state in tho frozen north, and
was still full of tho magnetism of speech. It
was easy to recognize the secret of his success
both as a writer and a public speaker, and in
following his story not even the striking illus
trations that accompany his articles in The
Century convey a more pictorial idea of the
scenes witnessed by him in tho course of his
Russian journey than tho simple, eloquent
and forceful words with which ho colloquially
portrayed his experiences.
As nearly as th9 conversation can bo re
called, stripped of the verbiago of any but
leading questions, Mr. Kennan spoke as fol
lows: "ILy first visit to tho Siberian coast in 1S66
and 67, mado in connection with the estab
lishment of a new telegraph line projected by
the Russian-American Telegraph company
for intercontinental communication by way
of Behring strait, produced upon me a pro
found impression, although I was little more
than 19 years of age. Subsequent journey!
mado on my own account served to deeply
intensify this feeling, and, what with a knowl
edge of the language and a familiarity with
tho customs and literature of tho country
thus acquired, felt reasonably well equipped
to enter upon the task of investigating tha Si
berian exile system which has since so greatly
engrossed my attention.
"In ono of my lectures delivered before
tho American Geographical society I took oc
casion to defend tho Russian government in
rcf orenco to its
treatment of state
prisoners on tho
ground that it had
been grossly mis
represented, and
was not such a
dreadful system as
it was supposed to
bo. This naturally
added to the inter
est in Siberian af
fairs that had been
engendered by tho
loss of tho Jean
netto and tho dis
covery and return
of tho survivors,
GEORGE KESNAX.
and a proposition followed that I should
mako a special journey to Russia for tho pur
pose of giving to the American public,
through the columns of The Century Maga
zine, a clearer insight into its exilo system
than had been before obtained. In order to
provide against failure by reason of any in
terference ou the part of the Russian authori
ties, I madaa preliminary visit to St. Peters
burg and Hoscow in 1SS4, and received the
assurance that no obstacles would be thrown
in tho way of a thorough investigation of the
subject. In fact, I found that the govern
ment was in possession of a copy of my lecture
before tho Geographical society in New York,
and being fully acquainted with my views
and sympathies at that timo, the officials
wero ready to extend to mo all needful facili
ties for the prosecution of my mission.
"I returned to New York, and in tho spring
of tho following year, 1SS5, accompanied by
Air. Frost, an artist connected with The Cen
tury establishment, started again for Russia.
Wo wero absent about sixteen months, trav
eling during that timo 23,000 miles, 8,000
miles of tho journey in sledges, and yisitcd
every penal establishment except ono. Among
tho mines inspected wero thoso of Nerchinsk
and tho Kara silver mines in tho province of
Trans-Baikal, 4,000 miles east of St. Peters
burg. Wo also visited all of tho largo osilo
forwarding prisons in both western and east
ern Siberia, along what is called 'tho great
Siberian road,' making tho acquaintance
meanwhile of somo 800 political exiles in all
parts of tho country, through whom I was
enabled to obtain a very thorough knowledge
of tho entire system.
"Lot me say -here that I went to Siberia as
strongly prejudiced against revolutionists and
nihilists as any man could be. I returned
with my mind entirely changed. Tho exiles
whom I met wero neither fanatics nor an
archists, but of a higher typo of men and
women who woro struggling for a freer form
of government; people who did not propose
to sweep away all existing institutions, but
would bo content with a limited monarchy
and whatever the term implies in connection
with personal liberty and freedom of speech.
"Russian exiles, as wo call them, may bo
divid6d into two general classes political
nnd criminal. The political exiles I wonld
again divido into four classes: First, tha
Moderate Liberate (I nama theso first, be
cause thoy aro tho most numerous), who
would bo satisfied with a limited monarchy
regulated by a constitution, and with re
forms that would bo perfectly practicable
under the existing government. Second, the
Liberals, who desiro a representative form of
government; that is, ono that includes a na
tional pariiamont of some kind, freedom ot
speech, freedom of public assemblage, free
dom from arrest without a warrant and
from exilo to Siberia without a trial, but
still a class which doos not think it ad
visablo to ornploy force iu order to at
tain thoso results. Third, tho Revolution
ists, who seek precisely the same end
as tho Liberals, but who believe that
nothing can be accomplished by peace
ful agitation owing to the restrictioiis
upon the right of public assembly, upon
the press and upon all means of arousing
public opinion, and who therefore regard the
uso of forco as advisable. Their immediate
object is to overthrow tho existing govern
ment by conspiracy and that species of or
ganized violence which is employed in masse.
Fourth, the Terrorists, who, while moving
on the same general lines with the Liberals
and Rovolaaoniste, have become satisfied,
from repeated failures lasting through a long
series of years, that force cannot be success
fully organized ia the face of such a police
and bureaucratic system as that which exists
throughout Russia. Often exasperated by
terrible private grievances, they regard them
selves as justified hi terrorizmg the govern
ment by such acts as the blowing up of the
dining room of the Winter Palace, en
ueavoring to destroy tba czar's railway
train and assassinating high officials
who havo shown more than usual cruelty
and rnthlesmcs? in the prosecution of
political offenders In numbers tho latter
constitute the smallest of the four clasps de
scribed, but tho others aro mads to suffer
from the miad&jds cf their more reckless co
adjutors. Terroraca as really tha Jas; or
extreme phasa of itzs struggle with the gov
ernment, and I balieve it has been practically

FOX & SON, 150 N MAIN
A gentleman at this juncture asked Mr.
Kennan whether the exiles wero not per
mitted to remonstrate against tho infliction
of punishment not included in their sentence,
or in some way reach the ear of tho higher
officials.
"Exiles," ho replied, "aro allowed to draw
up Individual petitions, but it is contrary to
law for thorn to draw up a colkctivo peti
tion." It was whilo in Buffalo on ono of his lectur
ing tours that Mr. Kennan received a letter
from a Siberian exilo giving particulars of
tho massacro at Yaktusk, which is a caso in
point. A band of exiles had reached that
place when an order was sent cut which, if
insisted on, would mako it impossiblo for
them to procure sufficient food and c?othing
for tho rest of tho journey. Thoy prepared a
petition to the vica governor, asking him to
return to the old system. "VVnilo waiting (as
ordered) for an answer at tho house of M.
Notlrine, also an exile, an officer of police ap
peared and bade them follow him to tho
houso of tho administration. They bud re
ceived strict orders on no occasion to go thero,
and refused. The officer grow angry, and
finally shots were fired. Six exiles were
killed and nine wounded, Sophie Gourowith
being "ripped open with bayonets." One
policeman was killed and three officials
wounded. A court martial followed, and
every ono of tho surviving exiles was con
victed. Threo men wero sentenced to death
and have been hanged. Tho others wero
doomed to long terms of penal servitude
"This is but ono illustration of tho conduct
of certain officials in Russia, and we can
easily imagine that every such tragedy adds
hundreds to tho number of those who are
already seeking opportunities for revenge.
An unfortunate girl may be bayoneted, out
raged or henged; don't you suppose her
brother or somo other closo relative is ready
to light a torch or throw a bomb?
"The Russians have no penitentiary system
for tho punishment of qriminab such as wo
have. R a man commits burglary or mur
der he is sent to Siberia to pay the penalty of
his crime in various ways. Of course theso
common criminals aro moro numerous than
the political, and ia a certain way sympathy
for tho criminal classes is as much wasted
there as here, but if v,o treated our prisoners
even of tho lowest class as they do, it would
arouse universal indignation. Imagine a gang
of several hundred marched from New York
to Sitka, Alaska, in tho depth of winter,
sliackled together with leg fetters, confined in
close quarters by tho way, and poorly fed;
fancy these wretched people accompanied by
thoir families and tho suffering that ensues
among tha -women and children, tho wives
toiling along on foot, children dying by the
wayside of croup and other infectious diseases
and no help at hand. This is what you see in
Siberia. Of course, you do not sympathize
with tho criminals, but with tho human be
ings who are treated worse than beasts.
"Tho-treatment of political prisoners differs
according to the grado of offenses they may
havo committed A man may be sent to Si
beria by order of tne minister of the interior
without hearing or trial, but, as a rule, he ia
merely 'colonized,' as it is called, for five, ten
or twenty years, according to tha whim of
the official, and is not subjected to penal
servitude as we understand that term. Again,
a man may be tried and senteuced for life,
but he is f reo to engago in certain kinds of
business. Still another class aro condemned
to the mines and never permitted to return
to European Russia. On tho march some of
these go in leg fetters; others ride. As a rulo,
the nobles and higher orders are furnished
with sleighs, but inasmuch as the tempera
ture frequently goes down to 33 and 40 degs.
below zero, and it is impracticable to set a
pace of moro than two miles an hour and
keep company with tho unfortunate ones
who aro on foot, you can readily understand
that tho privilege does not amount to much
when a man must walk to keep himself alive.
"In regard to the personnel of the pris
iers, nine-tenths of tho political exiles bo
long to the educated classes. A large propor
tion of them aro graduates of universities,
and somo of them are ladies of exquisite re
finement of character. Of all, it may bo said
they are more or leas intellectual. You eaaiy
recognize this fact in their rtrong faces."
Mr. Kennan here exhibited a large namb-r
of photographs which he had brought from
Russia, and gave a brief history of each of
tho subjects. Ono was a handsome vounir
officer pictured in hb shackles, though still
wearing the undress uniform of his rank;
another was the wife of a novelist; a third, a
famous writer; a fourth, the leonine head of
a gentleman who subsequently became insane
from fuffering in solitary confinement; a
fifth, the face of a mother, comely and grave,
wnoso little son had been tasen from ber be
cause cf the fear taat she would bring up hir
child in sympathy witn her own liberal ideas,
and he is now being educated at the coat of
the government, while she is in the mines: a
rixth represented a beautiful girL scarcely
out of her teens, sentenced to the mines for
eighteen years, anotner, with the splendid
features of a Charlotte Ccrday, sentenced for
conspiracy aud proud of her martyrdom. All
the faces, in fact, woro a look of proyd rtao

Do tempted to commit suicide, and this scanty
supply of food is cut into little pieces to bo
eaten with their fingers. The authorities
might just as well imprison theso people in
Moscow or St. Petersburg, but the idea of
exile to Siberia is moro terrifying to tho im
agination, for escape is almost impossible. It
means an immense journey before reaching a
place of refuge, and in tha event of capture
an increase ot hardships greater than before.
Eight prisoners escaped in 1&&2, but thoy t ere

remarkable, for the Russian polico seems to
be ubiquitous. It applies as much to corre
spondence as to personal movements. ,

Tlio orchids, conquerors of thought,
may well claim pardon for their triumph
over their humble companions of tho
gardens, for their victory is fairly
achieved. They astonish us when wo
first examine them, then charm us. Na
ture lias been liberal with them, and
they havo everything. Their flowers
aro full of that curious charm that cap
tivates. Their colors aro harmoniously
toned, and always bright and elegant.
Their odor is sweet snd penetrating, but
does not cloy. Notwithstanding thcir
tliin texture,which gives them a delicate
and frail air, they last longer than other
ornamental flowers. Nothing, in fact,
seems to be wanting to them but a more
lively and abundant foliage, and that
can be supplied by mingling fern leaves
with them.
It -was long snpposcu that theso won
derful plants wero extremely delicate
and capricious. This was a mistake.
To their other virtues they join the raro
one of simplicity.
Nearly all the orchids cultivated in
greenhouses are natives of tho inter
tropical zone, and it was supposed froir
this fact that they required considerable
heat. But it has gradually been estab
lished that a high temperature really
hinders their best development. A con
siderable number oLthcm in their nativ?
ytato grow on high mountains, undei
exposure to a bracing atmosphere; and
hey arft now cultivated in moderately
warmed and freely ventilated green
houses. They are, therefore, relatively
hardy plants, well adapted to the deco
ration of our rooms. J. Dybowski in

"It's Great to lio Ono Jyj;cd."
A little ragamuflin, who had lost one
of his legs, hopped around on a crutch
one rainy afternoon la3t week at the
corner of Broadway and Park place.
Bis shoe was torn, and it was natural to
6upposo that the foot inside of it was
wet. The boy was determined that thcro
should be no question about this, for lie
hopped from one puddle to another, and
stood in each until tho water began to
oozo out of the shoe. Several other
gamins played around with him. At
times they tried to pull him down, but
he was very quick and had a way of
bringing his crutch down on their bhoul
ders that made them wary about com
ing within his reach. Suddenly he
Etopped and said:
"I feel hungry. Guess I want eome
thin' to eat.
He left his companions playing in the
street, hopped up onto the sidewalk and
accosted the first man that camo along.
Tho man looked at his crippled condi
tion and gave him a climo. Tho next
man fumbled in his . pocket and brought
out a copper. Tho third and fourth paid
no attention to him. lie gave it up then
and camo back to hi3 companion', toss
ing the money ho had rcccivedas though
this was no unusual occurrence.
"GouV to leave you fellows," he said;
"goin' to get some beef and bt'ans."
As he hobbled away the other boys
looted at him with envy in their eyes.
"G-osh,M said on of them, "its great
