THE EVIL EYE.
A Strange Superstition OF the Turks and
Corsicans.


A Strange Superstition OF the Turks and
Corsicans.
The Corsicans are not the only people
in the world who believe in the evil eye,
for the Turk is so affected by it that he
thinks it extends its influences to what
ever animals belong to him. Strings of
coral are sold on the streets and said to
be preventive against the evil. 1t is
very curious to see the donkeys crowds
of which are found in the streets, with
strings of coral twisted in their tails.
When he gets in a violent rage the very
worst thing that Turkish gentleman
can threaten his donkey with is the
taking away of the jewels which pro-
tect him from the evil eye, for in this
way he will give him over to all kinds
of cruelty and the possession of the de-
mon. In the markets bits of coral are
laid among the purple grapes or green
vegetables with the hope that good
luck will come to them and they will
bring higher price. Funnily enough,
an Egyptian connects a woman with
any suffering that may come to his
eyes. If they ache or hurt, he looks
out for blonde woman named Fatima,
begs from her bit of bread and in
formation as to where he will find six
more Fatimas, that he may ask the
same favors of each. Fortunately for
him, they do not all have to be blondes,
and wise Egyptian father, seeing the
value of the name, is apt to give it to
one of his daughters, so there are plenty
of Fatimas Whether the English
speaking maiden makes eyes suffer or
not, who can say? Very often She ,,e-
lights them and very often she drceivcs
them so probably she does her duty

The press representation is large, the biggest
delegation coming from tho irrepressible slate
OF Kansas. A meeting was held this morning
by the National Reform Press Association, at
which DR.. M. A. McCune, editor of the Nation
al Economist, at Washington, D. c.. presided
W. 8. Morgan acted as secretary. The meeting
was atten ded by seventy-five to ninety people,
among whom were several newspaper women.
After much discussion of superficial nature
Mr. Cummings from Dakota, offered the follow
ing resolutions:
'Resolved, That committee be appointed

~. To adopt for the Reform Press associa-
tion a uniform size and quality OF print paper,
and to supply the same at the lowest net cash

proved and uniform weekly matter in the
cheapest and most desirable form, especially

"3 To provide for the publication of such
prepared matter in English German and Nor.
wegian.
=. To consider the best method for securing
one or more central advertising agencies which
shall have charge OF that department of our pa
pers."
Some strong opposition TO those resolutions
was urged, but they were finally adopted and
the following committee appointed by the
OF Kentucky; w. X. Lamb, of Texas; Cum
mjngs, Of Dakota; Mrs. Mccormick, OF Kansas.
tThe leading topics among the delegates are
finance, transportation and land, and no doubt
these subjects will be discussed at the confer
ence without limitation. A meeting of the
heads OF various organizations was held to day

sion.e Three planks-election of senators by

TURNED BLACK.


Peculiar Case in n New York Hospital
That Finally Resulted In Death.
Henry Welch, white man, whose
skin had turned black, and whose case
had been watched with the greatest in
terest by the physicians of the Presby-
terian hospital, New York, where he had
been since May 8, died at that institu-
tion Sunday. He was fifty years old.
The disease of which Welch died was
seated in the gall duct, which con.
meets the gall bladder with the liver,
which in turn is supplied with the bile
necessary for digestion. The gall
duct is very small, and inc passing
through the duct the gall stones some
times tears the walls of the duct, caus-
ing great pain. In Welch's case the
physicians say the gall stone became
lodged in the duct, and the bile, not
being able to flow through the duct,
was forced through the system, pro-
ducing jaundice and changing the skin
to yellow. There are but two similar
cases in the hospitals record.

M'KlNLEY HELPS SHODDY

The Shoddy Business on boom-rhe
Wool Duties Please the Shoddy Men
How shoddy Prices Have Advanced-Why
Shoddy Men Are Republicans.
Nothing will show better the real ef-
feet of the high duties upon wool inn
posed by the Mckinley tariff and the
great boom which it has given to the
shoddy industry than comparison OF
the markets for wool and shoddies be-
fore and after that measure was passed.
just as the textile manufacturers who
! use wool only in their products are tire
less in the movement for free wool, so
the shoddy manufacturers have always
strenuously opposed putting wool upon
the free list, knowing, as they do, that
free wool will be the death OF shoddy.
During the whole time that the McKin-
ley bill was being discussed in congress
the shoddy men again and again pre-
dicted that it would be a grand thing
for their business
The course of the shoddy market
from week to week is very carefully re-
viewed in the shoddy department OF the
American Wool Reporter. The follow
ing is from its report of September 4,
1890: According TO the reports from
the various markets this week there
seem to be good prospects, and dealers
feel quite sure that in short time they
will do a better business. They say the
only obstacle in their way at the pres
ent time is the delay in the tariff bill,
and state that IL it is not passed bust
ness will not assume any better condi-
ton than at present, but they are in
hopeful anticipation Of its being passed,
and If SO they say the rag and shoddy
business will boom"
September IL "the shoddy trade con-
tinues to show promising prospects.
September 25 the trade in rags, shod'
dies, waste, extracts, etc, shows con-
tinued improvement, the demand for
the different lines Of stock is better in
nearly every case and larger sales are
reported by nearly every dealer" Oc
tober 2, the day after the Kckinley
tariff went into effect, we find that
''the markets for rags, shoddies, waste
and extracts are almost without excep
ton, more active and Of frmer tone
than when last reviewed Tho u ans
Macon beacon., 1891-05-23
Articles.

In view of the above facts, is there
any wonder that the shoddy dealers
and manufacturers, who are thus en-
abled to make clothing for the farmers
to wear without buying or using his
wool, issued their great circular in 1888
declaring there is only one way to
avoid this loss to ourselves, lby the
Mills tariff bill which put wool on the
free list) and that is-by the defeat OF
the candidate of the free trade party,
Grover Cleveland We have determined
in the coming election to support the
candidates of the protection party,
Harrison and Morton. Their election
we consider to be Indispensable to the
maintenance ofour business"
Well did they know that the high
wool dutiess imposed by the Mckinley
tariff would compel woolen manufact-
urers to use more shoddy and less wool.
Free wool would be the death of shoddy
and the farmers. .coat would be made of
wooden cloth yard wide and not of
shoddy and extracts made from the rag
peddlers' rags.

The United States Authorities Outwitted
BY the Itata.
The American war-ship Charleston
and the Chilian man-of-war Esmeralda
are lying at anchor near the entrance
to the harbor of Acapulco, Mex. The
Chilian captain says his vessel has not
called at any American port Conse-
quently, he says, it is not probable that
the United States authorities will
interfere with the movements of
either himself or his vessel. An
officer of the Esmeralda, in reply to a
question put to him in the tele.
graph office at Acapulco as to the prob
ability of an ld-fashioned sea fight be-
tween the Charleston and the Esmer-
aida, said in a jocular and rather am
biguous way: "Oh, the Itata is already
out of danger. She has plenty of coal
and provisions to carry her to her des-
tination" This remark has given rise
to the report that the Itata coaled at
sea and proceeded to her destination,
while the Chilian war-ship steamed for
Acapulco to throw the United States
authorities off the track.

IAug. ]. 1880. IMaE I, 1891.

In commenting on the situation of
the woolen industry and the wool trade
in an editorial May Z, 1891, the editor
of the American Wool Reporter shows
how gloomy is the situation. "In view
of the protective condition of things, it
seems to us decidedly unwise and inn
polite for growers and holders of wool
to persist in any attempt to secure in
fiated prices. If the condition of woolen
manufacturing was sich that manufac-
turers could afford to pay more for
their wool, the case would be different. ]"
The high tariff imposed by the Nc
Kinley law upon wool is showing its
effects. How long will the farmers and
wool growers prefer the interests OF
the rag pickers and shoddy manu-
facturers to their own and the interests
of the legitimate woolen manufact-

FOR CONSUMPTION.

Report to tho Paris Academy of Medl-
cine That Goats Blood Is Beneficial In
First Stages.
Prof Bernheim has submitted his re-
port to the academy of medicine, at
Paris, regarding experiments made to
cure tuberculosis by the TRANSMISSION of
goats blood. The professor in this re-
port says that fourteen patients
have been treated by this sys-
tenn, and that two in the last
stage of an@mia were cured. Ten
of the remaining number, suffer-
ing from tuberculosis, the report adds,
have greatly improved under the new
treatment, and the last two of the four
teen patients, both of whom were in
an advanced stage of consumption, died
six weeks after receiving the first trans
fusion of goats blood. Prof. Bern
helm declares that the goats blood
treatment has an important effect in
the first stages of consumption, but
adds it should not be used in the last
stages.

There is imminent danger that the
project to make national park of the

in failure. The only reason is the
rapacity of landowners. Fair property

Lying Just Outside Acapuioo, And the

A dispatch received from Acapulco
says The Chilian cruiser Esmerelda
entered this port Wednesday and sailed
again Thursday. Several Of her officers
were ashore, and used the wires and
made various inquiries regarding the
action Of the United States, showing
that they had been informed
that the cruiser Charleston had
been sent III pursuit Of the
Itata The officers who came ashore
were very reticent, but from one of the
sailors it was learned that they expect
ed to sight the Itata and actas her con-
sort down the coast. The EsmereldA
has numerous crew, and In appears
ances they are veterans and will fight.
The opinion prevails here that should

thet the Itata has been steaming along

ten days out last Friday night she
should at that time have been just of
Acapulco. If that be true, she had two
full days start of the Charleston when
the latter started again in pursuit Sun

that she had when she started from

Just as the Mckinley tariff doomed

rags, shoddies and extracts, it has re-

price of wool, as the following quota
tons show:
