body who knows unhappy Willie Brough,
boy who lives at Turlook, in the San
Joaquin Valley, says he can set fire to
objects by merely fixing his eyes upon
them. He Is evidently overcharged with
electricity 10 a remarkable extent. The
swapping OF his fingers causes sparks 10
fly. The postmaster of Turloek has him
relate gleefnlly how he set fire TO wall
paper BY this MEANS An insurance agent
refused 10 take more risks on property in
the neighborbood 80 long as the boy re-
nlained there.
Popular excitement has been so great
since the story Of the sinister power Of
Master BrouQh was circulated that the
father has felt inpelled TO move away,
and has gone to reside on the other side
of the San joaquin river, taking refuge
with his family in n cottage in the cotton
wood timber, a long way from village or
railroad. A correspondent found him
there. lie denied thRt his son had caused
iires, but admitted he had told him that
when lying in bed at night he saw sparks
flying about him, Willie is an extremely
nervous boy, IL years old, with a largely
developed head. In melancholy way he

terlous fires occurred, but he saw sparks
about his own body at night.
Nj. A. Kuhlman, who keeps school
in Mercer county, in which tho alarm first
began, describes how five fires broke out
in one afternoon in different parts of the
scbool-house, being caused by no visible
agency. Other scholars were hastily dis
missed, but Willie Brough was detained.
A few minutes later he fixed his eyes ON q
hay shed few yards distant, and called
the teachers attention to the fact that
smoke issued from the same. Very
soon it was blaze. The teacher forbade
him TO come to school any more. He
docs not believe him guilty Of arson, bui
Is Inclined to think he is victim OF
supernatural agencies.
On The previous Sunday eleven mys.
terious blazes occurred in the house o.
Williams father. One broke out at {
corner Of the roof, another in some bed

third charred some grain sacks in Thy

Rlalne,. solid soutl..

Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
But, as matter of fact, arethe southern
states individually more solidly Demo-
cratic than those of the north are solidly
Republican, We cannot fairly Judge
them en- masse they must be considered
separately, and just way to Judge them
would be by way of the returns of the
Presidential election. MIR. Blaine has
sought to convey the impression that
there are no Republicans in the south ez-
cept the colored people, and that they
are all and always DISTINGUISHED indeed,
he laid his defeat in 1854 to the alleged
Acknowledgement by the whites Of
the colored citizens of the solid
south. AS the returns of that
show by contrast with some of the north
ern states whether or not they are more
solidly Democratic than the others are
Republican. Florida polled total vote
Of 1901, and it gave bare plurality to
Cleveland of 1871 Maryland polled
1856, $3.50 votes, and gave Cleveland a plu-
rality of only 1908 votes; Tennessee polled
259, 424 votes, and gave Cleveland a
plurality of 1902; Virginia polled 2S4, 991
votes and gave Cleveland plurality of
6,003; and West Virginia, out of total
vote of 1872, 157, gave Cleveland plu-
rality of 2,477. That is the south
ern side of the case. Here is sic
northern side: Illinois, polli's o12, 1853

polling 319, $40 votes, gave Blaine plu
rality of 2,444; Oregon, with total vote
of 52,732, gave Blaine plurality of oSS
And while New York gave Cleveland {
plurality of little overa thousand out o
total vote of I'LL, 1858, Pennsylvania
with total vote of 59S, 1864, gave Balm,
plurality of 81 ,079. Where, then, i,
the warrant for the assertion that there ii
no Republican party in the south excep
the eolored people, and that they are dis
franchised? There is none certainly il
these figures, which conclusiyely show
that there as here the two parties are
pretty evenly balanced, and that both ar.
fairly represented by the returns Of the
last national election.
