THE RUSSIAN EXILE.

TO-NIGHT. To-night in the Dannevirke Drill Ha.ll, Dr Boranoff, the Russian exile, ' will appear and deliver dramatic and sensational pourtrayals of his incarceration in Siberia, from which he escaped on three different occasions.' - He is a man of deep convictions, gained by experiences, so terrible as hardly to be credited by those who have always lived under our regime. He was born im St. Petersburg and spent his youth in Moscow, where he went for his university training. After escaping from Siberia he was back in St. Petersburg on that memorable "Red Sunday" on January 29th, 1905, when suc\ terrible carnage took place. A petition was to be presented to the Czar. Hejwled by 2,000 women and children" 42,000 people inarched to the Winter Palace. Different bodies organised at different comers. At the Winter Palace the procession was fired' on by an enormous army, with artillery, and over 900 were killed. Dr Boranoff was captured but escaped to England, and there he began his present • tour. The box plan is at. Bartlett's, and there is a special concession for ladies. Colleges and schools may also arrange for concessions. _ Dr Boranoff was met at the railway, sta^ tion this morning by the Town. Clerk and leading citizens and welcomed' to Dannevirke.
