THE RUSSIAN EXILE.
DR. BORANOFF. Lately arrived in New Zealand is Dr. Boranoff, not only a prominent personage because he is a Russian exile, who escaped three times from imprisonment in Siberia, where he was incarcerated and suffered all the tortures heaped upon every political prisoner because of his opinions, but also because Dr. Boranoff has 1 just completed a highly successful tour of England, delivering brilliant discourses of his appalling experience in Siberia, and has arrived direct from London in the "Taionui" to tour New Zealand. Dr. Boranoff will appear for one night only in the Masterton Town Hall on Monday next, June 7th. It may be interesting to know that there is no capital punishment in Russia excepting for po'itica! prisoners, who are also brutally tortured. Dr. Boranoff, who is a graduate in science and medicine at the Universities of St. Petersburg, Dorpat, and Berlin, speaks English with a beautiful grace and fluency, and his dramatic and thrilling discourses are of absorbing interest. To-morrow morning the box plan will open at Miss Rive's. There is a special concession for ladies. Colleges and schools may also arrange for concessions.
