And just over 100 years ago, the city led a completely different life…
Doctors continued to actively place advertisements offering treatment for complex illnesses. For, apparently, the readers who bought the newspaper for 3 kopecks were actively suffering from such ailments…
They attended Delarue’s funeral, played soccer, went to “Sacred Concerts,” and bought various items.

Admission of women to the university.
The Ministry of Public Education responded favorably to the petition filed by the superintendent of the Siberian educational district requesting that female auditors be admitted to the medical school in Tomsk.
While the teaching and support facilities at the Tomsk Medical School are quite extensive and well-equipped, the number of applicants to the school has been declining year after year. Three years ago, 300 students were admitted to this faculty; the following year, 150; then 103; and finally, this year, 98. Meanwhile, in Siberia itself, given the significant Muslim population, there is a particular need for female doctors, since religious beliefs prevent Muslim women from being treated by male doctors.
The school district trustee is requesting the admission of only 20 non-degree students, citing a special donation received for this purpose; however, the ministry is considering a broader approach to the issue. However, there is a major difficulty arising from the explanations provided.
It is believed that the issue, which has been raised once again, will be resolved through the highest levels of government.
Starting on January 24, the newspaper “Utro” has introduced a daily special section called “Life in Kursk.”
“Acknowledgment.” City council employee F. Konoplev submitted one ruble to the council for its discretion; the money had been left behind on a table by someone while the employee was away. Council member Z. Y. Kharmanksy made the following resolution on the employee’s report: Report to the administration and, along with the report, forward the ruble to benefit the starving, and thank F. Konoplev for informing the administration about the “gratuity” apparently offered to him, the eradication of which should be the duty of every honest employee.
Toward the elections to the 4th State Duma. The governor authorized the city administration to begin gathering information and materials for compiling lists of persons eligible to participate in both conventions of city voters in Kharkiv, for the purpose of electing electors to the Governor’s Legislative Assembly for the election of members to the 4th State Duma.
Condolences to the mayor. Students at the Pushkin Telegraph School sent a telegram to Mayor A. K. Pogorelko expressing their condolences on the occasion of his illness. The mayor replied to the school director: “Please convey to the students my heartfelt gratitude for their thoughtfulness, which has deeply touched and delighted me. Pogorelko.”
Rigoletto. In Part II, both of Bortiansky’s concertos, accompanied by a symphony orchestra, were of great interest—brilliant examples of the 18th-century court concert style, a distant, glorious era marking the first magnificent flowering of musical art in Russia, albeit one that emerged under foreign influence: after all, Bortniansky spent a full 11 years in Italy, and two of his operas were successfully staged there, in Venice and Modena. Both of these concerts (“Lord, by Your Power” and “We Praise You, O God”) were performed with brilliant pomp.
Vedel’s psalm “By the Rivers of Babylon” was performed with artistic finesse and subtle nuances in each individual stanza. N. G. Gulyayev participated in the final solo piece, “Arise, O God,” The artist’s phenomenal bass voice not only astonished with its remarkably low notes (E-flat, B-flat, E), but also captivated with the softness and warmth of its timbre; the entire performance was marked by nobility, expressiveness, and excellent vocal technique. He was joined on stage by N. G. Borodaevsky and I. V. Anurin, who possesses a beautiful tenor voice that has already been well-developed. The work of both conductors, who had already earned a favorable reputation in Kharkiv, and the efforts of the choirs and soloists deserve the warm appreciation shown to them by the audience.

The Resettlement Crisis. The Kharkiv Provincial Zemstvo was tasked by the regional resettlement organization with gathering information on the number of people wishing to resettle from Kharkiv Province to Siberia. From the numerous reports received by the administration as of March 1 from the counties and townships of the Kharkiv Province, it became clear that this year people are refusing to resettle in Siberia. This circumstance is considered an extremely rare occurrence in the practice of the provincial zemstvo. Those closely involved in the resettlement effort attribute the resettlement crisis to crop failures in Siberia.

Sacred Concert. The sacred concert held on March 1 in the opera house, featuring the combined choirs of all Kharkiv churches and conducted by F. K. Korsun (First Department) and G. O. Serikov (Part II), left a wonderful impression, both for its varied and interesting program and for its meticulously polished performance. Under the direction of F. K. Korsun, the program consisted primarily of works by contemporary composers (Ippolitov-Ivanov, Kastalsky, Chesnokov), while under the direction of G. O. Serikov, the program featured older (Bortiansky, Turchaninov, Vedel).
In Part I, the greatest success was enjoyed by the superb tenor solo with chorus (“Bless the Lord, O my soul” — by Myasnikov), sung soulfully by P. P. Pasechnikov against a backdrop of beautiful harmonic accompaniment; the powerful and expressive concerto “I Contemplate the Day of Judgment” by Arkhangelsky, in which the choral sections achieved the resonance of an organ, as well as the encore trio “My Soul” by Myasnikov, performed by I. V. Anurin, I. G. Borodaevsky, and P. K. Kvashenko.
The Funeral of M. D. Delary. Yesterday, the funeral of M. D. Delary took place at the city cemetery. After the funeral service at the Kaplunovskaya Church, the funeral procession proceeded to the city cemetery, accompanied by family, friends, and acquaintances. By the time the body was carried out, the crowd had grown so large that the Kaplunovskaya Church could barely accommodate all those who had gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased. Among those present at the funeral were: the wife of the provincial leader of the nobility, Mrs. E. P. Rebinder; the chairman of the Kharkiv Literacy Society, S. A. Raevsky; the chairman of the Volchansk Zemstvo Council, V. G. Kolokoltsov, the chairman of the Kharkiv District Zemstvo Council, S. N. Litarev, members of the Provincial Zemstvo Council, A. A.

The bailiff of Precinct 4 has inventoried the trading house’s manufactured goods, valued at 3,381 rubles and 73 kopecks, which will be sold at public auction.
On the Coffin of M. D. Delarue.
Mikhail Danilovich did not live long, and life was not kind to him. He longed for joy, light, and work, but life locked him in a room and chained him to a chair. He strove for broad social and political activity, devoted himself to it with all his soul, and became one of the “best” people, the people’s first choice; but life sent an icy storm and cast him far aside, and like a leaf torn from its native branch, he withered, buried in mud and dust, in oblivion and resentment…
One might say that lying in M. D.’s coffin are—though faded, yet eternally lovely—the fragrant flowers of our youth, the bright, cherished dreams and hopes of the golden spring of national freedom. Another spring will come, but without M. D…
Let us bow our heads in deep respect, sympathy, and gratitude for the distinguished public figure and the people’s first-choice representative, who has left us forever!
Sergei Igumnov.
