silver problem threw everything else in the
background. Chairman Jonger of the coinage
committee, explained the Window bill
as modified. He believed the measure strong
and calculated to meet the public demand
for liberal supply of money. A representative
from one of the new western states was for free
coinage and declared it could be established
without danger and with great benefit
Representative Walker advised the Repub-
licans to support the committee bill In the
feature of the debate was the remarkable
strength of the free coinage men and as an
eastern member said the House was apparently
restrained from passinga free coinage bin only

PURIFICATION BY FIRE.
Exercising the Influence of an Evil Eye by
Four Women in Scotland.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Gable. I
LONDON, April 1o.-A curious story comes
from Scotland. Rev. DR.. Stewart received a
letter from friend in Wigtonshire that, see
ing smoke arising from a hollow, he started 10
investigate. He saw five women passing sick
child through fire. Two of the women, stand
ing opposite to each other, held a blazing hoop
vertically between them, and the two others
standing on the other side of the hoop were
engaged in passing the child backwards and for
wards through the opening of the hoop. The
fifth woman, who was the mother of the child
stood at little distance earnestly looking
After the child had been passed and repassed
eighteen times through the fiery circle, it was
returned to its mother and the burning hoop
thrown into pool Of water. The child which
is about eighteen months old, was weaklng
and was supposed to have come under the
baneful influence of an evil eye. The hoop was
twisted round with straw rope in which few
drops of oil were scattered to make it burn all
round at the same time When the child was
taken home bunch of bog myrtle was sus-
pended over its head. Rev. Stewart said he
had also received letters from towns in south
west Scotland which showed the people there
were still very superstitious.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-The society for tn.
prevention Of cruelty to animals has not been
pleased by the rebuffs it's attempts to punish
blue-blooded offenders in Queens county have
unfortunately met with. year or so ago ar
attempt was made to punish Ed d. Morgan. of
Hampstead, for alleged cruelty in docking hi.
horses. The case resulted in a complete rout
for the society. Later, rabbit coursing by
August Belmont, jr and others in the vicinity OF
Hampstead was pronounced an exhibition OF re,
fined cruelty and an attempt was made to punish
someone, but failure again resulted and cours,
ing went on just the same.
Now 1t appears that the abbreviated append
ages of the polo ponies at Cedarhurst have again
attracted the attention of these humanitarians
and arrests were made of stable men and otherl
who had locked the ponies. Yesterday thres
prisoners were arraigned before SQUIRE Hew.
lett, at Woodsburg. The accused men pleaded
guilty and in extenuation pleaded ignorance OF
the laws.
Counsel for the people made long argument
showing the terrible nature of the offense com
mitted, and the awful cruelty inflicted upon tn.
animals, and asked that the prisoners be both
imprisoned and fined. The prisoners were fined
and the man who welded the cleaver in addition
was sentenced to twenty days imprisonment
warrant was also issued for the arrest of thu
president of the Cedarhurst club.
