The work of stirring up public opinion in re-
gard to the Worlds Fair is going forward brisk
w. All the prospects indicate that the dinner
which is to take place next week will be brill
liant success. The merchants meeting on Mon
day was so earnest and the drygoods men dis
played so much interest that decided impulse
TO the Fair movement was given. The action
then taken has been supplemented by circular
issued by the secretary of the meeting to the
pres of the State, calling upon them to urge
the passage by the Legislature of the bill ap-
propriating half million dollars to enable New
York 10 make suitable exhibit. We hope to
see q general response to this appeal.

If the authorship of Governor Hills Elmira
speech is to remain mystery until somebody
comes forward to claim it, and if the author ever
does yearn for recognition, the chances are that
he will have to reprint the speech at his own eX-

Is that he is claiming.

In the British West Indies there is a low tariff
on clothing, haberdashery, shoes, and every line
of manufactures which the English residents there
import. Then there is a high tariff on all the
American food products and necessities of life
which the population require. The luXuries are
cheapened for the benefit of English manufacture
ers and coonists; and the price of necessities is
raised so as to make the food of the negroes dear
and to shift the fin?ncial burden of supporting
the Government upon exports from the American
market where the bulk of the produce of the
islands is sold. Reciprocity is smashing this pc
culiar system of English free trade.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
PorrsTowN, July LA story of witchcraft
that shames the sixteenth century comes
from beyond Ringing Hill, quiet little COM
munity not far from here. For many weeks
the child of a young married couple named
1oomis has been i'll, and all the efforts OF
physicians and nurses have been in vain. An
old granny of the neighborhood was called
in, and at once stated that the child was be-
witched, and advised the parents to send Tor
the witch doctor.
The "hex" doctor of mystery and potfons
was at once sent for near Reading. and at
once pronounced the case one Of black
wftchery OF the worst kind. He said some
evil person in the neighborhood had thrown
a spell around the child, and promised to
show the anxious parents a picture OF the
evil-disposed person. The HEX" or witch
doctor had brought his infallable "futur1ty
glass and showed to the frightened mother
in this glass picture which she declares Is
that of a woman in the neighborhood whom
she has long suspected of having evil de-
signs upon her family.
After having vindicated his calling the
doctor departed, after many mysterious
hints and shaking of his bushy head, leaving
the parents in a bad state of mind in regard
TO their child, it not having improved at all.
The suspected woman, who, as the doctor
said, had been casting evil spells around the
child, is being closely watched by the
parents, and if this century were only hun
dred years back she would certainly be
burned at the stake by the simple-mfnded
folk of Ringing Hill.

An Epidemic Breaks Out in the Mt. Nebo

ALLIANCE, July 1.-The citizens of this city
are excited over a typhoid fever epidemic
which has just broken out among the
students of Mt. Union College within the past
three weeks. This morning word was re-
ceived that Miss Laura Payne. a member of
the sophomore class, had died after an ILL.,
ness of six days with the disease. Seven
others are lying i'll with the same disease,
two Of whom are not expected to live
through the night.
Strange as it may seem, all of the
patients have been members OF a boarding
club conducted by Mrs. johnson, and this
fact has led many TO believe that the water
used on the place was impure; but after an
analysis the health officer pronounced it
pure, and the grounds in good sanitary con.
ease was brought on by overwork and lack
of physical exercise.

Apaches and Cherokees Sore, and They

Captain r. W, Hause, a United States
Marshal in the Indian Territory, passed
through the city. last evening for Washing
ton to make a report. He says the Indians
feel sore over the amount of Illegal grazing
done on their lands by the cattle of Texas
people, but he hopes an outbreak can be
avoided. The Government is now driving
them out of the Territory. These cattle in
some queer way spoil the grass for the
native cattle. Their saliva poisons the
pasture, and 90 per cent of the home
cattle who Craze on land which they
have overrun die. Captain Hause
SAYS the rush to get into the Cherokee Strip
will be worse than if it was at Oklahoma,
and he expects considerable trouble and ex-
eitement. The ground is only fit for grazing,
and he wouldn't have any of Ii for gift
The Apache Indians in Arizona are COM
planning about their bad treatment by the
agents, and the settlers are afraid they are
going on the warpath. The captain antici-
pates bloodshed in that territory.

AN AERoNAUT IN PERIL.
Prof. Young Has a Narrow Escape From
Death at WATERFOWL.

wTLKEsBAERE, July l.-Prof Young, who
has been in this city for few days, tells
thrilling story of his fall from balloon in
watertown. n. Y. which rendered him un-
conscious so long. He says he must have
made his leap from the balloon to the para
chute at a height Of 5000 feet, and the mo-
ment his hands touched the bars of the
parachute, he felt there was something
wrong The affair seemed to be going com
pletely over, and it rushed down so fast
that every rib in the parachute was broken.
He descended at an angle of about 45o, and
was unconscious before he reached tine
ground, though every act of his life flashed
through his mind as he dashed toward the
earth at a terrific rate.
He then made up his mind that he would
never again venture in the air, but will
likely break that resolve on the Fourth.
The professor struck on his back on
plowed ground, or he would never have
lived to tell the story.

He dashed into the water and found, in
stead of her being in water up to her neck,

the water until her mouth was full, when
she would blow like porpoise. Her hus-
