terrible Revenge OF Indians on a
Supposed Witch

Among the Indians to the west of Chihua-
hua, Mexico, the belief in witchcraft is
general, and for number of years an old
woman has held the Indians of that locality
in great fear by her alleged powers over
young children.
When the woman was known to be away
from her house a party of men went there
and found horrible evidences that she had
indeed INDUCED in meals of chiIdren's flesh.
There were not only the bones to be seen,
but a partly eaten child was found
When she returned she was burned at the
stake and the people ate small particles of
her body in order to keep off any evils that
might befaH them for killing her.

Congressman Springer, Chair man of the
Ways and Means Committee of the House
of Representatives, has been near deaths
door, but is now considered practically out
of danger. A final consultation of the three
attending physicians was held a few days
since, and at its conclusion DR.. John A.
Vincent, his Illinois physician, who left
Washington for home the same night, made
the following statement:
Last Sunday and Sunday night the con-
ditlon of Mr.. Springer was critical in the
extreme so much so that we considered him
worse than at any time during his illness.
Since then the improvement has been steady.
till now his condition is such that we can see
no reason why he should not go right along
to complete convalescence. Up to this hour
he has held everything gained. Pulse and
temperature are normal. That distressing
cough has left him. The eryspelas has al
most entirely disappeared from his face. His
appetite is fairly good. The del1rium and
coma have been entirely overcome.
but his prostratiOn is so complete that he
can scarcely speak above a whisper. The
building-up process must necessarily be slow,
but with the excellent nursing and skillfu
treatment of Drs. Curtis and Verdi, recovery
now seems assured"

A Change at ST. Thomas.

Rev. James Byrne has been desig-
mated to succeed Rev. J. j. Keane as
rector of st. Thomas seminary, of this
city. Father Byrne has been lately rec
tor of the parish of the Immaculate Con-
ception in the city of Minneapolis, of

to taking charge of the parish named,
some three years ago. He is man of
wide learning and has excellent eXecu-
tive ability.
Father Keane has been successful in
his management of st. Thomas SEM

may be placed. 1t is also rumored that
other changes will succeed this. among
them being that of the departure of
Rev. Heffron from the Cathedral parish
