SHAKE MOLLOY’S SIORY.
Cb Monday He Went Up Town to Col
lect Bents—The Next Morning He
Turned Up In Pell Street, Deaf and
Dumb and Battered, With a Story of
Robbery Which Finds Apparent Cor
roboration— Is the Young Man Only
Acting?
From the New York Sun.
David Molloy, the 19-year-old son of Will
(am Molloy, David Dudley Field’s private
secretary and confidential clerk, lives with
his psrtats at Port Hamilton. He comes to
town every day, and has a desk with his
father at 1 Broadway. Lately the entire
business of collecting rents has been left in
young Molloy’s hands. On Monday morn
ing, at 9 o’clock, he left his father’s office to
colleot some money up town. He was to
get back at 2 o’clock, but when tbathonr
arrived he had not appeared. All that night
be was away, and on Tuesday morning,
when he failed to return, Mr. Molloy, act
ing oa Mr. Field’s advice, called at the
Elisabeth street station house and had a talk
with Cupt. Brooks, who promised to send
out an alarm.
About 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening a
Chinaman, whose name is not known,
•topped Patrolman Cortland t on the Bow
ery and told him that there had been a
fight the night before in the hallway of I<l
Pell street. He said that four men ha l
attack -a another man, and after kicking
and beating him had rifled his pockets and
Btoleu a leather sachel from him. He
thought he could find two of the s’rangcr’K
assailants if tho policeman would accom
pany him. So Cortlaudt went with him.
and at his direction arrested Patrick
Dineeti, l'J years old, of 63 Catherine street,
and John Leonard, old, of 96 Wash
ington street, at the corner of Pell and
Doyers streets. The young men protested
that they were innocent of any crime, but
they were taken to the station house and
locked up as suspicious persons.
Early yesterday morning a good-looking
and well-dressed young man, with his eyes
blackened and his face badly bruised, stag
gered up to Policeman Devlin in Pell street
and motioned to the officer that he was deaf
and dumb, aud wanted to make a com
munication. Devlin gave the stranger a
piece of paper aud a pencil, and the young
man wrote:
“I have been robbed and beaten, and my
money is all gone. What shall I do?”
The J young man acted so queerly that
Devlin decided that be was insaue, and took
him to the rotation house.
Capt. Brooks recognized him os the
missing David Molloy. He thought he was
mistaken, tb< ugh, when the young man
signified that he was unable to hear or
speak.
“What is your name?” asked Capt.
Brooks. Sergt. Walsh wrote the question
on a slip of paper ad the young man Im
mediately wrote, “David Molloy.” Many
other questions were asked in Jtbe same man
ner, and finally the young man’s whole
story was learned.
He wrote that at 9 o’clock on Monday
morning ho started uptown on the west side
of the city to collect some rents. He.took in
a good deal of money, and about 2:30 o’clock
in the afternoon startod down from liarlem
to pay t e interest on a mortgage held by a
man named Leaycraft, at l orty-fourth
street and Fourth avenue. He transacted
his business with Mr. Leaycraft, and about
8:30 o’clock boarded a South Ferry train at
Forty-second stieet to return to his father's
office. At Cha haru square Molloy says he
got off the train to take a City Hall train.
On the station he was seized with a sud
den and uncontrollable thirst, to satisfy
which he went down the steps and got a
glasi of beer in a Chatham square saloon.
At that time, he soys, he was in full posses
sion of bis faculties. The young man re
members getting the beer, but everything
else is a blank until be became conscious iu
a Pell street hallway. He regained bis
senses only to flud four young men rifling
his pockets, and his bag containing $143 in
cash and a check for $lO6 in the possession
of one of his assailants. A young girl was
also present. Young Molloy was sure that
this wns on Monday night. He is unable
to account for himself for the rest of the
right, and for all day Tuesday and all Tues
day night.
The case was given to Detectives Price
and Mckirmer to work up. They arrested a
girl named Maggie Williams, who lives in
Pell street with a Chinaman. They took
her to the station, wbero Molloy recognized
her as the girl who was present when she
wa srobbed. The girl was defiant at first,but
finally broke down and confessed that the
knew all about the affair. Bbe said that
Patrick Morrell of No. 8 Hague street, Pat-,
rick O’Toole of No. 3 Dover street and two
other young men had committed the rob
bery. Dineen and Leonard, who had been
arrested the nifht before as suspicious per
sons, were brought before the girl and
recognized ns the associates of Morrell and
O’Toole. The two latter were captured
without difficulty.
To Capt. Brooks the girl told a remark
able story. 6,be said that at about 5 o’oiock
on Monday evening she was standing at
Pell street and the Bowery, when young
Molloy touched her on the arm. She asked
him what he wanted, and when be did not
answer starttd to walk away. Molloy, she
says, followed her and banded her a piece of
paper on whioli was written: “I am deaf
and dumb, but would like to see you all
alone.” Tue girl says that she led the
stranger into the halway of No. 19 Pell
street. Here the young man began to write
to her on a piece of paper. S le says that he
wanted her to go with him to some place iu
the Seventh ward. Sbe refused to go and
Was starting to leave him, when he grasped
her by the arm and pulled her back. He
then turned to the wall and wrote on it: “I
have S3OO with me, and I want you to run
away with me.” He wrote a lot of other
things on the wall, she says, but they were
all to the same effect.
Patrick Morrell, one of the prisoners, is
tond of the Williams girl, according to her
story, and when he discovered her and
Molloy in the hallway, he called on Dineen,
Leonard and O’Toole, who were standing at
Dell and Doyer streets, and together they
knocked the young man down and kicaed
and beat him unmercifully. They then took
h'.s money and fled. They also carried away
uis scarf pin, his hat and his cuff buttons.
W hen the prisoners were arraigned before
JUBtice Taintor at the Tombs police court
yesterday morning they all protested their
Innocence. Molloy and the Williams girl
identified them as the former’s assailants.
Mr. Molloy had been informed of bis son’s
safety and was in court. Justice Taintor
thought the story ire probable and decided
to go iuto a formal examination. The girl
and Molloy repeated their stories. Molloy
wrote, in answer to the justice’s questions,
that he did not know when or how be had
been stricken deaf and dumb. He did not
remember where he had been on Monday
night or Tuesday. Part of Tuesday night,
he said, he slept in the lodging house at S9
Bowery.
Mr. Molloy, Sr., testified that when his
•on left his office on Monday morning he
was able to speak and hear perfectly. He
oould not understand what was the matter
with the boy.
Lawyer Gallagher, for the defendants,
intimated that the young man was
"faking.”
"He probably went to the Suburban and
lost all of Mr. Field’s money,” he whispered
to a friend. “The deaf and dumb business
Is all a farce.”
At the request of the detectives Justloe
Taintor remanded the prisoners back to the
station house until this morning, when they
will be re-arraigned.
A Sun reporter visited the lodging house
at 39 Bowery. The clerk did not remem
ber any person of young Molloy’* descrip
tion being there on Tuesday night. At 19
Fell street the reporter found things just as
Maggie Williams bad said they were. All
iTer the whitewashed valla of the ball**?
was writing. Somebody had tried to wash
it off, but only a part was blurred so badly
that it oould not be read. "1 have S3OO
with me, and I want you to run away with
me, can be plainly seen on the wall.
Detective Price found a number of the
young man’s oheck snd receipt books in the
hallway.
After the examination Mr. Molloy took
his son down town to the office of Dr. F. P.
Turner at 30 .Statestreet. Dr. Turner heard
the case, and thought it so remarkable that
he sent for Dr. Fields of the Manhattan
elevated railway company to help examine
the young man. To a Sun reporter Dr.
Turner gave the result of the examination.
He said :
“Dr. Fields and I have reached no decision
regarding young Molloy’s condition. We
have examined him oarefully, but have
learned nothing. He may bo acting and be
may not, but If he is be is playing the part
remarkably well. It is unusual to hear of a
man being stricken deaf and dumb, as
Molloy says he has been, and, therefore, his
story seems incredible. I tried hard to
trap him, but without success.
"I wroto on a piece of paper: ‘Mr Mol
loy, you’d better make a clean breast of the
wnole affair, aid let the matter drop. Tell
us what you did with the money, aud stop
pretending to be deaf and dumb.’ Wnen
he had rend what I had written a puzzled
expression came over his face, and he wrote:
‘I do uot understand you. I was robbed
and am unable to hear or speak.’
“I saw It was no use to try that tack and
asked him if any supernatural power had in
fluenced him to keep quiet, and he wrote
back, ‘No.’ He said bis head was weak and
dizzy, and that was all. The only thing to
do iu the case is to put ihe young man under
observation. If he is acting he will soon
give himself away. The rumors that the
boat or the beating he received have had
something to do with his condition are not
true. Ail the l eati-g in the world could
not deprive him of those faculties, and the
heat certainly couldn't. Insanity is the
only explanation.”
Mr. Molloy is distracted over his son’s
m.sfortune. He believes that the boy has
really lost Ins power of speech and hearing.
Nevertheless, he intends to watch him
closely, and if tho young man is acting he
will soon be found out.
SHE GAVE AWAY “CUT PLUG.
A Young Woman Creates a Sensa
tion on Broadway.
From the New York World.
The sidewalk on Broadway, opposite the
pcstoffi-e, was blocked nearly all day yes
terday. At times the crowd was so dense
that pedestrians were compelled to find a
passage through the mazes of vehicles.
About 3 o’clock a woman, who was pushed
into tho jam while walking down Broadway,
and who was unable to extrioate herself for
fuilv ten minutes, complained that her
pocketbook had been stolen. No police
man was in sight, however, and she con
tinued on her way to the to the Corclandt
street ferry. Fifteen minutes later two
policemen stood together on the curb just
outside tbe throng, but they made no at
tempt to clear the way.
The cause of all the commotion and the
blockade of tbe sidewalk, which continued
for hours, was a scheme tor advertising a
certain now brand of tobacco. A stand
stood on the sidewalk on which were thou
sands of small sample packages holding two
or three pipefuls each. The principal inter
est, however, oentered in a beautiful young
woman who was giving away the samples.
Se was dressed in a gorgeous spring cos
tume, very light and very gay, with an ex
pansive hat, in which glistened all the colors
of tbs rainbow. A man beside her pushed
tbe small boys away and assisted her gen
erally.
The speotacle of a handsome young
woman, attractively dressed, standing ou
Broadway and giving away samples of
‘ cut plug” is, to say the least, an unusual
one. To express tbe situation mildly, she
created a decided sensation. Men elbowed
each other and pusbed and scrambled to
eecure one of the samples from her dainty
and bejewelled hands. Tho newsboys and
bootblacks were fairly wild, and they kept
front places in tbe tbrong for hours,
olamoring for tobacoo. Many of them had
dozens of packages apiece. One citizen of
respectable appearance pushed into the
crowd to see what the excitement was all
about when he was pushed to one side by
the man, who seemed to be acting in the
capacity of a "bouncer,” with the remark:
“This is tho third time you’ve been here.
How much of this tobacco do you want,
any way P’
The citizen indignantly denied that he
was attempting to accumulate a stock of free
material for smoking, but he lost no time in
escaping in the crowd, while the small boys
hooted.
TWO SISTERS JOINED TOGETHER.
A Phenomenon in Europe Like Millie
Christine.
From the London Telegraph.
A remarkably Interesting phenomenon
was shown this afternoon at the office of the
Figaro newspaper to a very limited number
of specially invited guests, comprising the
most distinguished medical men of the
metropolis. Among the laymen present
were Lord Lytton, M. Alexandre Duma*,
M. Ludovio Halevy, M. Munkacsy, M. Ger
vex, M. Detaille, Prince Roland Bonaparte,
Senor Kuiz Zorilla and M. Clemenoeau. The
phenomenon consists of twin sisters joined
together at the lower part of their bodies.
They were born at Bohemia ana are 14
years of age. They are not united by a
mere ligature, like the Siamese brothers,
but resemble rather in their formation
Millie-Christtne, some years ago exhibited
all over Europe. Millie-Chrlstine, however,
had only one stomach, so that the two
sisters experienced the feelings of hunger
and thirßt at the same time. It is not so
with Rosa and Josepba, who, having two
stomachs, have distinct tastes in the matter
of food and drink. M. Maurice Lefevre—a
member of the Figaro staff, who intro
duced the young ladies in a few brief and
bright remarks—told an amusing story of
how, after they had tasted champagne for
the first time, both were ill.
Josepha made up her mind she would not
touch the dangerous wine again, and sbe
has kept her word, whereas Rosa still in
dulges in the beverage she prefers. When
one was ill the other was very angry at
having to go to bed, and insisted in keeping
in her usual way. They are thus quite
different beings so far as sensations, incli
nations, mind and heart are concerned.
The children are quite pretty; they are
healthy in appearance, and they appear to
be very amiable and good-tempered.
On their wav to Paris a curious question
was raised. The offlolals wanted to reokon
them by beads, whereas the manager in
sisted on an opposite decision, and he
gained his point, so they oame for a single
fare.
6T. JO3EPH’S HOLY COAT.
Ha'f a Million Pilgrims Bxpect to Jour
ney to Far-Off Treves.
From the PUteburp Dispatch.
Berlin, June 15.—A friend who has just
returned from Treves says that the citizens
are busily preparing for the reception and
entertainment of the half million of pil
gr ms who are expected to visit
the city during the months of Septem
ber and October next for the purpose
of viewing the holy coat of St. Joeepb. So
extensive are the preparations by these
good people, who are evidently determined
to take time by the forelock, that barracks
and cheap hotel* have already been erected
by the score In the city and suburb*, and
in anticipation even of the influx of visitors
who are expected, rents have as early as
now gone up 25 per cent, in some diicriots.
The furniture trade is better than it 6vor
has been, and all these hosteirles have to be
equipped, and companies are being termed
to furnish beds and even prov&ions on the
hire system. To add to the elaborateness of
the preparations it may be added that new
railroad lines have been built on the left
bank of the Moselle, which are (o be de
voted exclusive'y to the use of these pil
grims and their excursions. _

GIRLS AND BURGLARS.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU MET
A HOUSE 3REAKEH?
Three Wcb ! ii Discuss Adventures
With Desperate Thieves—One Saw a
Hand at the W indow Shutter and
Promptly Rushed Out of Doors, An
other Fainted, While the Third Hid
Herself.
From the New York Reco- der.
They sat up late last night, but they had
fairly good excuses for prowling about In
the dark corridors of the boarding-bouse in
tbe small hours. The red-btaded girl, who
is a stenographer, had a great many folios
to cliok out on her typewriter, and the
colossus of a girl who is studying at Barnard
college was unable to go to Bleep for tho
clicking, and the jolly girl who is drawiug
at Cooper Union sat with her head on one
side hour after hour trying to finish a face
that gave her no end of trouble. Iu tha end
she threw her crayon at its nose and tip
toed across the hall.
As she softly pushed the door open the
Barnard girl, who was bending sleepily over
something Greek, sprang witn a start from
her chair. "What would you have done,”
asked the Cooper Union girl, "if I had really
been a burglar?”
The typewriter, who roomed with tbe
Barnard girl turned, up her machine to make
sure of the last letter. "I think,” she an
swered, "that Bince it is always good policy
to be hospitable, 1 should have said, as I do
now, in my politest mauner: ‘Won’t you
have a chair!’ ”
"But really,” said the tall Barnard girl,
as she bent to pick up her scattered sheets
of queer, crabbed characters, "I often think
of it when I have to go away down-stairs
at this hour of night, when toey've turned
out the gas on every landing, to fiDd a book
I’ve left in the front ball. 1 start with four
or five matches, but there’s always u
draught that blows them out, or they won’t
lignt exoopt o;i the box, anil I forget the
box, and 1 say to ruyvelf as I poke around
on the oold marble slab of that hat-stand
Wbat should I do if my fingers touched
something.”
“Feel of it, I should suppese,” replied the
Cooper Union girl, ‘ ‘to soe if it weren’t the
book you were hunting for.”
"But in sober earnest,” persisted the timid
colossus, "what would you do if you were
all alone and you met a burglar?”
•'l’ll tell you,” said the typewriter, facing
about in her obalr, "what I did when 1 mot
mine.”
"You’ve really seen one?” The Cooper
Union girl and the Barnard girl bent for
ward. The clock struck one. It was a de
lightfully weird hour for story-telling.
“Well, not to say a whole burglar, but 1
saw his fingers. They were very long, and
slender, and dirty."
"Where was tbe rest of him?"
"Out on the garden path. You see, it
was at home, out on Long Island, two or
three summers ago. I wrote verses then.
You mightn’t believe it, but one set was
really copied into a New York newspaper.
1 did it mostly at night after the folks had
gone to bed, and this night there wasn’t
anybody to go to bed, for mother and I
were spending a month alone, and mother
had been sent for to watch with a sick
neighbor.
‘•The verves were about a knight and
some pond-lilies. I forget the exact con
nection between them, but it was very
pathetic, and it made me cry. I usually did
ory over my verses, and that was why I
stopped writing them—that and the trouble
it was to find rhymes.
"I was very much interested in the
knight. But of a sudden I stopped crying
acd writing, for I had the most curious
sonsation, as if somebody were looking
at mo.”
Tho Cooper Union girl and the Barnard
girl 6aid, "Go on I”
"I looked up at the picture that was on
the wail. It bad queer eyes and tbe man it
was painted from wa9 dead, and I never
liked it, especially late in the ovaning, but it
didn’t seem to be staring in my direction
any harder than usual. Then I noticed that
both doors were shut, and then something
pulled my bead around again toward the
window.”
Again the Cooper Union girl and tbe Bar
nard girl said, "(Jo on I”
"There were outside blinds—green blinds,
you know; I bad shut them when I lighted
the lamp and had left the window open. It
seemed to me that one blind moved. I
winsed the last of the tears away and
looked again. One blind was certainly
ajar, but if it bad moved at all it bad
stopped moving. I bent my head over my
paper, but I kept a sidewise lookout through
my lashes. In a miuute or two the blind
moved again; I was sure of it this time.
My heart thumped and I forgot all about
the knight and the pond lilies. Iu a min
ute I saw, as I told you, fingers. A hand
had taken a firm grasp of the blind that it
might not bang, and the long, brownish
finzers had slipped around on the inside.”
The Barnard girl said breathlessly:
“What did you do?”
"1 sat a minute in a oold perspiration.
Then I got up and walked straight to the
door that was beside the window, opened
it, and stepped out on the piazza.”
“And you saw——?”
“Nothing; it was a very dark night, but
I beard a jump and a scamper, and then
the dogs next door began to bark and the
moon came out a bit, and three dark figures
went tearing up the street with the dogs
and two or three raen from the neighbors’
after them. You see, after all, ft's a very
tame story. The burglars were never
caught. Iwo of them had tried the house
next door and one was reconnoiteri g me.
But I've wo dered sometimes, if I had
stopped to think, Should I have gone and
opened the door ?”
“Now,” said the Cooper Union girl, “I’m
going to tell you my burglar story.’’
“You!” said both the others; “have you
seen a burglar?” They drew close together
and the Barnard girl pulled a shawl about
her shoulders.
“An up and down section of one not very
wide, though considerably greater In extent
than fingers."
The typewriter left her chair and curled
up among the pillows of the big old lounge.
The clock struck the half hour.
"It was last Decoration day. I was
boarding at my brother’s, and everybody
had gone out. Even the kitchen girl had
leave to see the parade. 1 got home first of
the family at about noon. VV hen I entered
the front hall 1 saw my brother’s little
detective camera in the middle of the floor.
I thought it rather funny, and it gave me
a second surprise when i saw great
black prints as of a huge hand on the wall
beside the stairs. 1 sat down on the hall
settee and picked-up the camera, somebody
had to tried to pry it open. The burglar
had dropped it lu disgust when It failed to
yield easily; clearly he was gone. Btill I
tiptoed about with a certain degree of cau
tion. The parlor and dining room were
empty and in good order. 1 went quietly
upstairs to my own room.
“This was empty, but not in good order.
Everything in it had been turned upside
down. The mattress was stripped off the
bed, all the drawers had been pulled ont of
the bureau, and all my small laces and rib
bons lay with the clean linen in a heap,
trampled by dirty boot heels. I could have
cried at the havoc, but just then I heard a
sound.”
The Barnard girl shivered. Then she
rose and threw herself down on the couch
pillows beside the typewriter. The type
writer begged a share of the shawl. The;
huddled in a bunch under the one wrapping.
They said, “Go on!”
“ft seemed to come from the next room,
which belonged to my sister-in-law. There
was a door between, and on her side there
was a portiere. Was the burglar still in the
house? I listened; I dared not take a step
in any direction. I heard somebody—
whistle. Could my brother have come
home? Was he looking over the ruins? The
turn was ‘Aunie Rooney.’ I had .beard my
brother whistle it that morning.' Oould It
be be?
"I crept to tbe door and opened it enftly,
peeping around the portiere. I saw an up
and down section of a man. He was at tho
moment half in and bait out of my sister's
closet: be was a tall men ia shabby clothes;
he was not my brother.”
The clock struck 2. The big Barnard girl
moved under her shawl uneasily.
"I crept back to my room and into icy
closet. I curled np behind the door. It was
separated from the other closet only by a
thin partition, and I was afraid he would
hear my heart beat, but I dared not risk
goi' g down-stairs. The man kept whistling,
and—my story is a tame one, too—by and
by he went away. As there was no money
in the house and he didn’t apparently seek
the dining-room for silver, he got little or
nothing.”
the Barnard girl sat bolt upright.
"Didn’t you hear the stairs croak?” she
asked. "I suppose I might as well wind up
this seance with a burglar of mr own."
“You have seen one, too!” exclaimed the
chorus.
“Yes, a whole one—fingers feet, up and
down, and across sections. But didn't the
stairs creek ?”
“One each Is enough for three voting
womeD.”
“O, you’re nervous, that’s all; there’s no
oue there,”
“He got into tbe house one night aud I
woke up as he was rummaging my bureau.
I was frightened ont of my senses, but I
shut my eyes and made believe I was sound
asleep. I had read somewhere that was the
proper thing to do.”
"Why don’t you tell the rest?"
"There isn’t auv rest: he was like tbe
others; he got out of the window and went
down by the piazza trellis.”
“And you didn’t give tbe alarm?”
"I? 0,1 fainted; but the hall floor creaks,
surely."
“Girls ”
All three sprang up with a nervous start
and the clock struck tbe half hour.
"Girls, it is half-past 2 o’clock, and you
are keeping everybody ou this floor awake.”
It was the woman who does children's sto
ries and who has the small hall bedroom.
The Cooper Union girl rose to return to
her own chamber. "But, after all,” she
said, "we’ve not settled what to do if we
should see each her second burglar before
morning.”
THS VOUDOO DANCE
Described by the E yewltnaes of a
Crazy Orglo Near Port-au-Prince.
From the New York Sun,
Voudooism is practiced quite generally
in Hayti, but with such secrecy,
especially in the cities, that few ex
cept natives ever witness its rites.
Opinions vary as to human sacrifices.
Many say they are not offered. Others think
that they are always made at tbe great
festivals, but so secretly that it is almost
impossible to boo them. It Is a matter of
record, however, that a few years ago sev
eral worshipers were caught near Fort
Bizotou devouring tbe fragments of a child,
"the goat without horns” of their altar, and,
after trial, they were found guilty ami
executed.
During a political celebration in Port-au-
Prince oue Saturday not long ago 1 learned
that on Suuday voudoo deuces would be
held in the vicinity of the city, and on the
following morning I started out to find one.
1 had walked out about a mile when 1 hoard
a drum in the distance. I toiled along
under tbe broiling sun, and at the last lo
cated the sound behind a screen of freshly
cut palms at a little distance from the road.
A number of saddled horses were tied to the
trees, and I pushed niy way through a gap
to find in front of me a pavilion about thirty
feet square and open at tbe sides. The fiat
roof was formed of palm branches and was
supported at the center by a big, post. At
oneeodwere three men with cjiiudricjJ
drums made of hollowed logtf, one end
closed with dried goatskins, th other solid
wood. They varied ih length from four
feet to two. Near 'ha smallest was a man
with a long eow-belL
I took a position puUWepf tlmwbjfr, and
little or no attention was paid to moat first,
as all hands were watching the entrance to
abut. Presently the drums struck up, all
the spectators joined lu a guttural chant,
and the high priest, or “Papaloi,” came
frum the hut, bearing a ohina mugiCArnful
ly covered with a etlk handkerchief. W ith
him were an assistant priest and a master of
ceremonies, with a small silver tiell. Then
came the “Mammalol,” or priestess, with a
small gourd, covered with strings of beads.
This sbe rattled almost constantly in time
with the drums. All were well dressed, as
were also the fifty or sixty spectators,
mostly women, who wore seated or crouched
on the ground on three sides of the arbor.
The Papaloi was an euormous man, over six
feet tall and splendidly proportioned.
The little procession parsed around the
pavilion and paused In front of the drums.
The Papaloi made a number of gestures,
holding ins covered mug high in front of
him, and then he slowly brought it toward
his lips. Another large silk handkerchief
was thrown over his bead, mug and all, and
he drank. Instantly he threw off the
handkerchief and poured the mug's con
tents, which looked like water, on the
J round on three spots in front of the
rums. He spraug to one side and there
was a mad rush of women to the spots.
They groveled on the ground, licking the
wet dirt and oovering their noses with dabs
of mud. Theu one by one they crawled to
the Papaloi, kissing the ground before him
and striking it with their foreheads. He
raised them to their knees, wiped their
faces with a silk handkerchief, and, taking
one by the right band, he elevated his arm
to its full length, and she turned under It to
the right, then to the left, and all resumed
their seats.
One middle-aged woman began dancing
alone. She became violent and streams of
perspiration rolled down her faoe. She
danced up to the Papaloi and bent over so
that she touched the ground with the tips
of her fingers, aud then, springing up,
touched her breast. He arose and repeated
eacti of her motions. She took a silk
handkerchief and wiped his face carefully.
He did the same to her. The dance
became more violent, until the Papaloi dis
appeared in the hut. He emerged with the
covered mug, and offered it to her, while
the master of oeremoniee threw tbe usual
square of silk over her bead. She emptied
it at a draught. The priest gave another
chant to the drums; the Mammaloi took off
the dancer’s shoes and stockings and
“kilted” her dress to her knees.
Hardly waiting for her to finish,
the dancer broke away from her, and,
seizing her dress with both hands, did most
wonderful hopping around in a circle.
Finally she fell, rolled over and over, raised
herself to her knees, her eyes closed, her
mouth foaming, and her face contorted,aud
commenced moving her head round and
round, faster and faster,untll it seemed that
it must fly off. Suddenly she stopped, rose
to her feet, and then, without an effort to
save herself, tumbled over baokward as if
she were dead.
The old Mammalol handed her gourd to
another, took her place in tbe center, and
grasped the post. Suddenly her whole
Body gave a ghastly twitoh and her face
became contorted. Again and again the
shudders were repeated with shorter in
tervals, while her large eyes seemed about
to start from her head. It was tbe most fas
cinating thing I have ever seen, and I felt
the perspiration gather and roll
down as I stared at her. Suddenly She
broke into a gallop around the post. Round
and round she went, stopping occasionally
to twitch aud glare about her. Then she
sprang to the Fapaloi, seized him by the
hands, dragged him out, and stared into bis
face, dhe whispered something in one ear,
then in the other. Then she kissed him on
both aheeks and the mouth. She rubbed
the poiut of her nose against his, then both
rubbed faoes. Ste broke away to re
sume her position at the center, pole,
wlfcie the Papalol withdrew for tbi mug.
Her ©yes met mine, she advancedF seized
my hands, and repeated the kiwfng and
nose rubbings It was not pleasant, out a
furtive glance! at the solemn face* ground
me informed nio that discretion “,’SS better
than cleanliness. I submitted, while her
toilet was beiag EiS<Je, which, ity
included the removal of her dress, tbs mas
ter of ceremonies approached me and, after
another handshake, invited me to drink. I
declined with thanks Ths priestess drank,
and the orgy continued.
The three priests went into tbe hut.
Presently the Papaloi returned alone, a
glitter like insanity in his eyes and his
mouth flecked with foam. The master of
caremoniee and his assistant came from the
hut bearing a white oblokeu.’ They
approached the Papaioi. Instantly all
rushed to him, and he was concealed by the
panting, furious orowd for five minutes.
When tbe crown opened the danoing
women had triangular blotches of blood on
their foreheads and bloody mouths. The
chicken had disappeared.
Up to the time when I left the dance
had been in progress about three hours,
and thera had been no druukeuuees or in
decency of any kind, except the exposure
of the persons of the dancers, but my im
pression was that the religious part of the
ceremony ended with eating tha chicken,
and that tbe drinking aud the orgy
generally commenced at once, to be kept
up all night. I now honestly believe iu
human sacrifices at these great ceremouio*.
The orowd I left seemed equal to any thing.

The Time Has Come, Says Developer.
Editor Morning News-. Your readers
have neticed with great interest several
communications from correspondents in
your paper on the subject of opening streets
through the southern suburbs. Your able
editorial In this morning’s issue of the
Morning News plainly points out to our
olty fathers the mistake they are making in
delay,
Savannah is, undoubtedly, on the verge of
a big boom, aud it is a pity our council
should not assist this boom to ths extent, at
least, of prevldlag streets to accommodate
it. Compare the present inactiveness of
council to that ef the city authorities of
fifteen to twenty year* ago. They opened
streets, laid out squares, and spent mnoh
time and money beautifying the city.
The result speaks ter itself. If the council
ha* any deuDt about the publio feeling on
this subject, let them call a mass meeting
and see now clamorous will be the cry to
open streets. Progress the Third.
Open the Streets.
Editor Morning Aeu>: I notice your
comments in the Morning News of yester
day on opening streets, and I fully agree
with you. Council can gain nothing by
waiting, and to hope for the laud owners to
lower their prioes Is a simple piece of folly.
Council had an opportunity a few years ago
to get most of the streets for a mere song,
and refused to take them on acoount of the
price, and to-day you can hear our counoil
men make the same exouse. Outside of
deep water there is no one thing that will
help Savannah as much as opening her
streets, and I hope that the present board
of aldermep will not leave this Important
work for soma other eouaoU to do.
