Negro superstition IN PennsyIvan,a.

A case was put on trial IN court at
Lancaster recently which shows that a
large number of the many colored peo-
pie of Column bia are firm believers in
"hoodooism." The prisoner is an aged
colored man, who is charged with
practicing medicine without a license.
The prosecutriX, a colored woman,
testified to his being what is termed a
"hoodoo doctor" He came TO Column
bia from Virginia in 1892. and was
called upon to attend her son. The
doctor told him he was poisoned.
and that live animal was inside II
him, but a cure could be effected by
following his directions-take his med
icine. and tie a bunch of hair and herbs
TO the front and back doors-and this
being done the patient was directed 10
look into three glass balls and he
would see a vision OF the house of the
man who poisoned him. The victim
declared he saw q man in the glass
balls. and he took the doctors medi-
cine, dying soon afterwards. but from
dropsy, and not on account of the med
icine administered. The practices OF
the doctor at last became known 10
the officers of the law, and at their in
stance the victims mother brough,
suit.-Philadelphia Ledger.
