DR. BORANOFF, THE RUSSIAN EXILE.
On Monday evening, at the Town Hall, Dr Boranoff will deliver his brilliant and dramatic discourse upon his imprisonment in Siberia, where he whs incarcerated for his political opinions, and from whence he escaped on three different occasions. Dr. Boarnoff was last in St. Petersburg on a fateful day, 29th January, 1905—"Red Sunday"—and marched in the procession comprising 42,000 souls to the Winter Palace. All were unarmed and protected only morally, to present a petition to the (Jzar asking for a Constitution—that those who were paying taxes should know where the money was going; and that those who might be called upon to fight might know what they were losing their lives for. At the Winter Palace they were met by an enormous army, with artillery, and a volley of bullets was fired right into the crowd. There were over 900 killed, men women and children, and the streets were full of injured, and the white snow red with blood. The box plan opens this morning at Miss Rives, and a special concession is being granted to ladies. Colleges and schools may arrange for concessional prices.
