A test was made at Indian Hsnd, near
Washington, of a plate representing 300
tons of the turret armor of tlio battleship
Wisconsin. The fourteen-inch plate was
attacked by a ten-inoh gun, with the usual
results. The shell was smashed on the
face of the plate, which received no sub¬

WITCHCRAFT IN EARLY DAYS.
John Fiske, the Historian, Talks of the
Delusion.
The Lexington (Mass.) Historical So¬
ciety observed Forefathers’ Day with
a public meeting held in the Hancock
Congregational Church, says the Bos¬
ton Herald. The special feature was
au address by John Fiske of Cam¬
bridge on “The Salem Witchcraft,”
vwbo spoke as follows;
“The sixteenth and seventeenth cen¬
turies were the flourishing ages of the
witchcraft delusion. Witchcraft, in
the early nges, was considered one of
the greatest crimes, as much so as
murder, robbery or any other serious
offense against the law, and the belief
in it was shared by the whole human
rrn/: until the latter part of the sown-
tei’nlh century.
•In England in Difl4 two women were
tried before Sir Matthew Hale, charged
with bewitching several girls and a
baby, and they wore put to death, for
at that time the evidence seemed per¬
fectly rational. In 1015, in Genoa, 500
people wore burned to death on the
charge of witchcraft. It was the proud
boast of a noted executioner la north-
ern Italy at tills time that in fifteen
years lie had assisted iu burning 900
persons charged with sorcery. In Scot¬
land, between 1500 und 1000, 8,000 peo¬
ple wene put to death, an average of
200 a year. The last execution for
witchcraft in England took place in
1712. in Scotland iu 1722, in Germany
in 1749 and iu Spain iu 1781.
“On the whole, it is remarkable that
so few were sentenced to death during
the sixty years after the settlement of
Boston, there being but twelve in all.
Tbs first case was that of Margaret
Jones of Charlestown, in 1048. This
woman had some advanced ideas in re¬
gard to the practice of medicine, cur¬
ing by herbs, barks, etc., and so gained
the enmity of some of the doctors. She
was accused of being in league with the
devil, and was convicted and hanged.
On the day of her execution a terrific
gate happened in Connecticut, blowing
down trees and doing other damage,
and this Gov. YVintlrrop deemed evi¬
dence of her guilt.
“In 1650 Mrs. Ann Hutchinson was
tried before Gov. Eudicott, found guil¬
ty and hanged on Boston Common. In
tine next twenty or thirty years there
were a number of cases tried, and,
strange to say. a number of those
charged with the crime were acquitted.
John Bradstreet of Rowley was ac¬
cused of intimacy with the devil and
sentenced to pay a fine or be whipped.
“A noted case was that of a woman
employed by the Goodwin family in
I6S8 in the fact that Cotton Mather
took an active interest in the case. This
woman confessed, thinking that clem¬
ency would be shown bar, but she was
l i »>
Prof. Fiske gave a brief resume of
Mather’s life, and said that early his-
torlans had not done him justice, and
that j his . memory had . , , bee ^ n held up as na
: that of one who more than any other
man stimulated the delusion of witch-
craft, .. ibis, tiie speaker sa d, ■
so, and tiie first man to do him justice
was (j le poet Longfellow, in 18GS, and,
later. William Frederic Poole, the lat-
ter giving a most accurate view of the
case.
The speaker then came to the Salem
cases. He said that In 1692 the cir-
cumstances favored an outbreak of
witchcraft. Everything in Massachu¬
setts was going wrong; it was believed
that the devil was in their midst, and
the reverses in Indian wars and other
afflictions had wrought the minds of
the colonists up to a high pitch.
Sagacity Shown by Deer.
A stag had been turned out before a
pack of hounds, and when somewhat
pressed by them I observed it twice,
says a contributor to Our Animal
Friends, to go among a flock of sheep,
and in both cases to double back, evi¬
dently with the Intention of baffling
the pursuit of the dogs. It would thus
seem that the animal was aware of its
being followed by the scent and not by
sight.
Mr. G. S. Erb, writing from Salt
Lake City, tells of the sagacity of deer
in that district in avoiding gun traps.
The deer are very partial to the tops of
maple trees, and when food was scarce
on account of snow, it was the custom
to cut down a maple tree ami to place
a gun, connected with the tree, in sueh
a way that the deer could not pass be¬
tween the tree and the gun without
pressing the line so as to discharge the
gun with the result that he would
get shot. This experiment, he says, he
tried at least sixty times, but never
succeeded in killing the deer until he
substituted a black linen thread for
the fish line which he had first used,
and then he had no difficulty In killing
them, as the thread was so small and
black that they could not distinguish It

AN EXTRAORDINAKY CRIME
A Man In the Street Shot D;ad by a Prisoner
Confined In o Jail.
A crime hns Just been aommltted at
Cadereytu Mendez, In the State of
QueretarOi Mexico, which has attract¬
ed great attention not only in the lo¬
cality, but also lu the city of Mexico,
owing to the extraordinary fact that
the perpetrator was at the time in
prison on a charge of robbery, and
persons in that position ns a rule have
not the means uor the opportunity of
doing bodily harm tu people who are
outside of prison.
The victim of the assassin’s bullet
was a gentleman of the name of Jose
I,Inca, a prominent anil substantial
resident of the locality. Mr. Llaca
had recently had some difficulties with
porsons in the vicinity owing to clashes
in business interests, and a man by
the name of Olvera had been put in
jail on a charge of stealing certain
mules belonging to Mr. Llaca from his
hacienda, known by the name of La
Have,
Mr. Llaca naturally supposed that
after being put in prison the thief
would be disarmed, and in going about
his daily business in the town he, of
course, never hesitated about passing
in front of the prison. On the day of
the murder he was passing on the op¬
posite side of the street, and the pris¬
oner, seeing him from the jail, shot at
him from behind with such good aim
that the bullet entered near the spinal
column. Hie wounded man tried to
draw ills pistol, but just then received
another bullet in tiie breast and fell
back in a dying condition.
The sister-in-law of Mr. Llaca, who
had seen what had occurred from the
balcony of a neighboring house, van
into the street to render assistance to
her kinsman, aud at the same time the
murderer, who, through inexplicable
carelessness, was allowed to get out of
fhe prison, approached Mr. Llaca and
shot him through the head, causing in¬
stant death.
When be received the first shot Mr.
Llaca was walking along reading a I
newspaper which he had just received '
from the capital.

An Interchange ol CouriealeA
The expense of the modern limited
express train is so heavy that railroads
commonly Ilnd It necessary to charge
something above the regular fare for
the privilege of riding on them. A few
years ago, when the “flyers" were in-
troduced on the Lake Shore Road, the
president of the company gave orders
that passes and half-rate tickets should
not be honored on the new trains,
It was not intended, of course, that
the complimentary tickets Issued to
high officials of connecting roa.ls
should be void on the fast trains, but
through an oversight a yearly pass was
sent to the president of the Nickel
Pinto line which bore on its face the
words:
“Not good on Lake Shore limited
trains.” A few uays after this pass
had been issued, the president of the
Lake Shore received an annual pass on
the Nickel Plate with the following en¬
dorsement:
“Not good on passenger-trains.”

Female Troubles Overcome
“Dear Mrs. Pinxham :—Iliadfemalo
trouble, painful menses, and kidney
complaint, also stomach trouble. About
a year ago I happened to pick up a
paper that contained an advertisement
of Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Com¬
pound, and when I read how it had
helped others, I thought it might help
mo, and decided to give it a trial. I
did so, and as a result am now feeling
perfectly well. 1 wish to thank you for
the benefit your medicine has been to
me.”— Mrs. Clara Stieber, Dilier, Neb.
No Flore Pain
“Dear Mbs. Piskha»i»:— Your Vege¬
table Compound has been of much
benefit to me. When my menses first
appeared they were very irregular.
They occurred too often and did not
leave for a week or more, I always
suffered at these times with terrihla
pains in ray back and abdomen. Would
be iu bed for several days and would
not be exactly rational at times. I
took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, and menses became regular
and pains left me entirely.”— Mbs. EL
F. Custer, Brule, Wis.
