A CANNIBAL'S STORY.
A Fiji Islander CoolIy Walks Into
a COlOred School
In Charleston, S. G., and Tells How He Used to
Eat Little Folks, and This Creates
Tremendous Panic.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 21.-The en-
tire colored population was thrown into ex-
element yesterday by a panic among the
colored children of the Morris street school.
This is the largest colored school in the
United States, having nearly one hundred
and fifty pupils. 1t was about half past 10
o'clock when why built, bright looking
copper colored man dressed in the fantas-
tic costume of an East Indian, walked into
one of the classes of the primary depart
ment and began to make a speech to the
children. He told them he was reformed
cannioal and used to eat human beings, and
his general appearance bore out his asser-
tions. The colored people have recently
been on their perennial scare about medical
students and were easily frightened. The
children laughed at the speaker at first.
out he ran at one OF the girls with out
stretched arms and she fed, shrieking that
the man was going to eat her. Swiftly the
panic spread, and in moment
! the entire school was in panic
They rushed heller SHELTER out of
the class rooms, down stairs, out in
| The yard and pell nell through the gates
aud over the fence into the street. The
excitement spread through the primary to
the intermediate department, and in three
minutes after the first shrek of the fright
ened girl ran through the building, there
was not a child in it.
Soon the colored population for squares
around was attracted by the children's
screams. The street in front of the build
ing was packed with negroes, everybody
was yelling at the top of his voice, and for
a while it seemed as though pandemonium
had been let loose. News of the panic
spread as if by magic throughout the city,
and by the time it reached the lower part
of the city had been magnified into ter
rible accident. A platoon of policemen ar
rived or the scene, but were utterly pow
erless to keep the crowd away. Mothers
scaled fences, shrieklng for their children
and the confusion became worse and worse
After a long battle the police managed tC
clear space enough to allow the children Il
come out and matters were finally settled
The man who caused the panic was ar
rested. He says he is a Fiji islander
seveuty-nine years old, and was once
/ cannibal. He gives the name of John Char
, ven and says he dined once with Mr.. Blain,
! at his home IN Maine. He claims TO be
British subject and says he viii demand
satisfaction for his treatment here.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Sensattonally large
purchases of cattle in Canada during the
past week by American capitalists brought
to light here to-day the first complete
knowledge of the results of a masteIly in

afford relief to American cattle growers,
Oy opening up markets abroad, and accord
ing to the statement of one of the largest
dealers IN Chicago success has already been
attained, while much greater widening of
the foreign outlet is close at hand The
Canadian purchases, it appears, were simply
IN the nature OF preliminary tactics to secure
unrestri ctedEentry Of American cattle into
Great Britain. Canadian cattle, though
inferior to the American product
are legally unfettered by British
enactments, and Americans who lust
bought some immense Canadian herds
