A Southern Negroes Jack. "

One of the first questions asked by
County Physician Wilder when the body
of Dallas Stowe, the negro, was found
hanging by a grapevine in the woods near
town yesterday, was: where's his
JACKIE" AT this question the negro audi
ence fell back as if getting away from a
bomb that was about to explode what
do you mean by his JACKIE" asked one of
the white men present. land why this
commotiohl' "Wait, and 1 will show
YOU" said the doctor. He then felt in
the pockets of the dead negro and brought
cut a tin box.
He opened it, and it was found to con-
tain snakes head a scorpion, piece Of
iron, rusty key, bunch of "witch 8
yarn" and an ounce of salt. This" said
the doctor, sis the jack. Eight out of ten
negroes carry them. With it they con
iure' their enemies, throw a spell over
them, and the average negro holds the
jack in mortal dread. To show you their
fear of 1t, just offer any negro here a dol
lar to put this box IN his pocket" The
offer was made, but no one would touch
it. DR.. Wilder brought the box to the
city, and tried the darkies on it, but not
one Of them could be induced to touch il.
The doctor has hung his jack in his back
yard, and says that his turkeys. chickens
and woodpile are safe for the winter.

were taken from his ears and eyes, but
he neither saw nor heard. and for long
time he did not ask why this was so. His
touch by degrees became actually sensi-
tive. John Wilcox, sailor in the same
ward, trained him to understand words
printed with Barnard's finger upon the
coverletS of his cot. +. NJ McAllister,
hospital nurse, became deeply inter-
eSted in the case.
Mr.. McAllister procured an embossed
alphabet card from the deaf and blind in
stitute in Berkeley. The letters were so
small that Barnard could make nothing
of them. Then Mr.. McAllister pasted
English letters cut out of wood upon a
board. and by the side of each letter
placed the equivalent sign of the alpha
bet of the blind. These signs are made
by varied arrangement of raised dots.
The dots upon the board were repre-
sented by the rounded heads of uphol-
Sters' tacks.
Barnard learned his alphabet in six
hours. Within few days he could read
the small embossed printing in books for
the blind. MIR. McAllister was given the
freedom of the library of Berkeley In
stitute. Barnard will be kept in reading.
he is now reading Irvings "Sketch
Book. So far he has read but one
story in 1.-THE story of Rip Van Wrinkle.
Seated by his cot in the hospital ward,
running his finger over the raised dotted
lines which tell the tale, he has smiled to
himself and sometimes laughed aloud as
he read of the mummeries of Hendrick
Hudson's ghostly crew, of Rips long nap
and humorous awakening. He has become
so interested in his studies that he is ambi-
tlous to learn to write, and has even
asked to be taught French. Mr.. Meal
lister will procure an octograph for him,
the same device which the blind Prescott
used in writing his historises. BY means
of that Barnard will be enabled to be
write in ordinary longhand.
A few weeks ago, after Barnard had
learned to understand readily the SEN
fences printed upon his hand, he one
night asked Mr.. McAllister if he would
be blind and deaf for life. The nurse
hesitated to break the sad intelligence.
Barnard insisted that he be told the
truth. When he was informed that the
silence and darkness which enveloped
him would last always he took the mat
ter calmly and said he was glad that he
had learned. He wished to know then
what had hurt him, and was told of the
dynamite explosion. He asked concern
ing his companions, "Brick" McGinnis,
Ned Murphy and the rest. The nurse
took his finger and printed out the words
They are all dead-all but Curtin"
Barnard was silent for a long while.
''All dead4" he repeated at length. cit
must have been the sailors union that
did it,"
But he could throw no light upon the
mystery of the plot which ended so trag-
ically.

gray. The time when they became black
differed. In Soudan it was at the age of
one year, but in Egypt it was not until
the child was four years old.
DIR. II. A. Robbins said that he agreed
with DR.. Stiles substantially.
FUN FOR THE STUDENTS.
Uncle Tom was then passed around for
the boys to look at, and a right jolly
time they had. He was made the center
of an inquisitive group'that worried him
with all manner of questions both for
sport and for the acquisition of medical
knowledge. He bore it well for an ignor-
ant colored man, and assured the boys
that he had not lost his color by staying
out in the rain. He is under the charge
of Mr.. Lindsey, who was present at the
investigation.
Mr.. Lindsey after hearing of Uncle
Toms existence, sent his son to look into
the matter and brought Uncle Tom to
Washington on Saturday. He says that
he is going to exhibit him before every
medical school in Washington. Mr.
Lindsey does not WANT 70 say much
about what he win do with the man
then, but it is not impossible that he will
be shown about the country as a dime
museum freak, and that Uncle Tom will
have an opportunity in his declining years
to travel.

BOOK NOTICES.

sabbath Hour Thoughts" by Lieb-
man Adler. Jewish Publication Society
of America, Philadelphia. Cloth $3.50.
This volume contains fifty-four sermons,
one for each Sabbath of the year, with
two additional for leap years. They
were culled from two volumes of Ger
man sermons on texts from the Penta-
touch, published by the late Rabbi
Lehman Adler, of Chicago. They are
very interesting sermons and well worth
careful reading.
MAGAZINES.
Frank r. Stockton, in his own delight
fully humorous way, continues to make
the irrepressible Pomona" interesting in
the second iustaliment of her correspond
ence with her old "Rudder Grange" mis-
tress. These letters, under the title of
''Pomona's Travels can only be found
in the January Ladies' Home Journal.
Mrs. Burton Kingsland strikes the key
note of the times by giving some very
practical suggestions for a new form Of
entertainment under the title of Fifty
Cent Luncheon Clubs" How | Became
an Actress" is the theme of a most valu-
able bit of autobiography from the pen of
Adelaide Ristori del Grille. A sketch,
with portraits of Mrs. Donelson Wilcox,
who was born in the white house during
the administration of Andrew jackson,
and whom he affectionately termed THE
Sunshine of the White House," furnishes
the biography. The second installment
of Mr. William Dean Howells' ''My Lit
erary Passions" is as full of interest as
the first and as well worth reading
There are other good things in the num-
Der. Ladies' Home Journal, 421-427 Arch
street, Philadelphia.
Scribner's Magazine for January marks

very best Serial stories by j. NJ. Barrie
and George Meredith are announced to

selected by the eminent art critic, Philip
Gilbert Hamerton, to represent the ten
denotes of contemporary art. Each pic

Deaf and Blind.
From the San Francisco Examiner


Charles Barnard. the young English
sailor who was made deaf and blind by
the explosion of the dynamite bomb at
Curtin's boarding house on the tragic
night of Sept. %, is slill an inmate of the
marine hospital, but his wounds have
healed now and he is able to be about.
The seamen at the hospital are kind and
attentive to him. They stroll with him
through the beautiful hospital grounds
They lead him about the shores of the
placid little lake in front of the buildings.
where he may Whit the scent of the
rushes and water lilies, among whose
archipelagoes of leaves and blossoms
fleets of ducks go idly cruising. Out on
the benches under the cedar trees, where
the view opens upon the ocean and the
hills, which he will never see, they
sit with him for hours, talking
with him by means of words
spelled upon his hands. Not
withstanding everything is dark to
him and silent, he seems to enjoy ex
istence. He talks he laughs at the Jokes
and funny things which his companions
print upon his palms; he smokes with
much complacency the cigars which
visitors bring him. Since his sense of
sight and hearing left HIM his sense of
touch has grown wonderfully delicate.
He has mastered the alphabet of the
in embossed letters has brought him an
Occupation and pleasure.
1t is more than two months now since
he left the Receiving Hospital, where he
was taken after the explosion, and en-
tered the Marine Hospital He rarely
spoke then. The sense of touch in his
rough hands, so long used to hauling on
rigging, was so wanting in delicacy that
it was difficult to convey an impression
to his mind.
His eyes and ears were kept in banda
ges. He thought he would be able to see
and hear when the bandages were re-
moved Once he was got to tell the story
of the explosion. He did not know that
he had been a victim of a dynamite plot.
He had no idea that he had figured in
tragedy in which four of his companions
lost their lives. He remembered that he
had been hit across the eyes with some
thing heavy. 1t was the force of the ex-
ploding bomb that struck him He
thought it was club which some sneak
ing footpad had used. He knew so little
about it all that he wanted those who
heard his statement to go TO Brick Nc
Ginnis for further information. McGin-
mis- had been killed outright by the explo-
sion. His mangled corpse fell directly
into the hole which the dynamite dug in
front of Curtin's boarding house.
For weeks the surgeons at the hospital
thought best not to enlighten Barnard
Careful attention brought him around
again in time to health and soundness
The effect of the shock, which had dazed
his mind, passed away. The ligatures

NOT EASY TO STEAL RUTH.
IF There Is Plot, 1t Will Find Diff
culties in the Way.
From the New York World

Washington, Dec. 22.-The enterprising
Kansas crooks who are said TO be medi-
tating the abduction of Ruth Cleveland,
should note the difficulties in the way of
such an undertaking. 1t would be easier
TO lkidnap the President than one of his
children. Their nurses are not permitted
to trundle their charges about at will,
but are required to keep within bounds Of
n promenade in the rear of the white
house, behind locked gates. This require
ment does not proceed from any fear on
the part Of the parents that the children
will be stolen, but from desire to keep
their domestic affairs private. The white
house ushers are compelled daily To put
of with excuses visitors who want to see
the children. Women in particular are
most insistent appearing TO care more
about getting look at the little girls
than at their distinguished parents. This
desire is SO much of a craze with some of
the women that they ask for minute de-
scriptions of the children, the color of
their hair and eyes, and how much they
weigh and how many teeth the elder one
has got. While this is harmless enough,
it is so idle and 80 toadish that pains are
taken to discourage it.

Tattoo Marks on ROYAL Hides.
From the Cardiff CWales1 Mail.

Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, a brother
of Alexander Ill, enjoys the distinction
of being the most magnifcently and elab-
Orately tattOoed prince of the blood in
Europe. His powerful right arm is
adorned with superb dragon, which
covers it almost entirely from half way
between the wrist and the elbow to the
shoulder. 1t was done in Japan, at Maya
saki, or rather on a small island of the
name of Inassa, in the Nagasah bay,
where the grand duke spent some time
while serving as lieutenant on board the
flagship of the Muscovite squadron in
China waters. Alexis is by no means the
only member of a reigning family who is
thus indelibly marked. Princess Waldo
mar, of Denmark, wife of the sailor son of
King Christian, has a beautiful anchor
and crown tattooed on her arm, half
way between her shoulder and her elbow,
and which, of course, is conspicuous
whenever she wears a low dress Her
husband, likewise, has naval emblems
tattooed on his arm, and so, too, has King
Oscar, of Sweden, who served for many
years in the navy before ascending the
throne. His sons have followed his ex-
ample.
Queen Victoria's second son, the new
Duke of SaXe-Coburg-Goth is tattooed
much in the same way as his brother-in-
law Ju6 N1EdHu LUKE AlGAlS, WullS MS
nephew, the Duke of York and future
King of England has a couple of crossed
flags upon his forearm. The tattooing
was done during his first cruise as a mid
shipman and led to no end of a rumpus,
for some busybody either wrote or cabled
home from Australia that Prince George
and his older brother, the late Duke of
Clarence, had had the straight arrow
the mark used to denote government
property-worked with the needles upon
their royal noses. The idea of a sover-
eign having his most conspicuous feature
adorned with an emblem which figures
upon the garments of every convict and
penitentiary inmate was one that struck
terror into the hearts of the worthy peo-
BILE of England Questions were ad-
dressed to the government in the
House of Commons by members who were
forced to take the step by their constitu-
ents, and so widespread and serious was
the popular indignation over the affair
that the communication, which each pub
lished in large type on the editorial page,
assuring the people that after due investi-
cation, it had been ascertained that the
noses of both of the Prince of Wales sons
were absolutely free from any such dis
figurement as that which had been re-
ported King George of Greece, his sec
ond son, and his nephew, the czarevitch,
are each of them tattooed, it having been
done in both the latter cases in Japan.
Besides there are among the tattooed
princes Queen Marguerite of Italy's
brother, the Duke of Genoa, Archduke
Stephen of Austria and Prince Henry, of
Prussia, brother of Emperor William.

THE GOULD CASE SETTLED.
leila Reported to Have Been Given q
Check Before She Left.
From the Philadelphia Press.


New York Dec. 91-A gentleman IA
miliar with the facts of the Gould-Nico-
laus affair said to-day: Nothing further
will be heard of the case. 1t will not
come up in the courts. George Gould
paid many visits to Superintendent
Byrnes and so did Counsel Abe Hummel.
Mr.. Byrnes acted as the go-between in
the case and settled it, He did not, of
course, act in his official capacity, but as
a private citizen, being friendly to both
Mr. Gould and Mr.. Hummel.
Mrs. Nicolaus received between IS, 600
and $4,000 and she agreed to leave the
country for five years. Mr.. Hummel car
ried out his contract by seeing her OF on
the steamer"
"Why should Mr.. Gould give her any
money! was asked.
Because was the reply, "she's dan
gerous woman and would have gone TO
court with lying story. Although it
would have been false it would have hurt
Gould. The truth of the matter is that
she saw the $4,000 check lying on Gould's
nesk while she was in his Office begging
for money"
