OIL REGION TERROR.
The Man With the Lantern. Who yanlshes
In the Explosion He Cause..

The man with the lantern is
abroad again. People outside the
oil regions do not know the terrible
significance OF that fact He has
cost the oil regions millions Of dol
lars and many lives. The man with
the lantern almost always disappears
Immediately after he walks abroad.
Instances are rare where even as
much as piece of his ear is ever
found But he is not dead.
The man with the lantern never
dies in the oil regions, says letter
from Allentown. Penn. He will be
sure to walk again a short time af-
ter he has disappeared once. He
first appeared in history in 1914.
This was at Marietta, Ohio No
body knew anything about petroleum
in those DAYS, but in digging a water
well at Marietta, oil was discovered.
as long ago as that It was called
fossil oil" by the local savants.
There was much gas with it. A lot
OF the oil was collected and put in a
clstern. One night the man with the
lantern came stalking on the scene.

He was absent until the beginning
OF oil operations in Pennsylvania
thirty-fve years ago. Then he ma
terialized. He has been walking
ever since, and his dread apparition
will doubtless continue to walk
abroad as long as oil wells and stor-
age tanks last. He is generally an
employe about the wells. and in nine
cases out of ten a man Of experience
and intelligence, but he can't resist
the fascination of paying visit now
and then to some gas enveloped tank,
carrying his lighted lantern. Some
times the result isn't disastrous, but
that isn't the fault of the man with
the lantern. Usually. though, an
explosion follows II it is not sue
ceeded by destructive fire the fact
will be one worthy of special note in
oil-reglOn chronicles. A roll call Of
the employees of that particular oil
property, and the taking account OF
the Toulouse stock, will show that
the man with the lantern has beer

He appeared at an oil storage
tank near this village recently
in the person OF I. j. Applebee, tank
inspector He discovered leak il
the tank. He went up to investi
gate it with his lantern. Applebet
was not killed by the explosion tina
followed, which was most miracu
lous and almost unheard of expert
ehce OF the man with the lantern
but he will be blind and terribl,
crippled for life. The tank and so
barrels of oil were destroyed, and

Yet the man with the lantern vii

The Pope on Church Music

Rome Letter.
Leo. XIII. has resolved to pro-
mulgate his views on church music
in the form Of a pastoral. The
pOntifical document is the result of
a consultation of all the authOri-
tiles of ChristendOm, lay and eccle-
siastiCal, on the subject. The
answers to the POpe's list of Ques-
tiOn8 are nearly all in favor of plain
or GregCrian chant, and Of the
higher forms adopted by Palestri-
ma, VittOria, SOriano and others.
No women in chOirs, and no theat-
riCal music like that Of Haydn,
Mozart or Weber may be looked
upon as the Papal ideal. Leo XIII.
has made merry upon the subject
in his refined and dignified way.
"Imagine," he once said, "St. Au-
gustine-the African One-cOnfess-
ing that his heart had been touched
by high notes and fiddles." The
repetition of words is another fea-
ture objected to by this lettered
POntitf, who, when the Archbishop
of Porugia whispered to his chap
lain during a grand musical func-
ton: "D0 you think they really
mean amen this time"

What Ellen Terry Missed.

Said an Anglo-American to a
LIGHT man, "The Geographic news
saws that Queen Victoria has Of
fered a baronetcy to the celebrated
artist, George Frederick Watts, and
it recalls to mind the fact that in
February, 1864, hes was married to
Ellen Terry, theS great English
actress, and co-partner of Henry
Irving. She was then only Is yeaas
of age, and he was Al years old. En-
Uering the stage as a child actress,
in 1856, she was used to the gay
life of an actress, while the
artist sought retirement for
study. Naturally they disagreed
and separated, and Ellen Terry re-
turned to the stage. Her domestic
life was lost sight of until 1876.
when Watts filed a suit for divorce
on the ground of her adultery with
f. w. Goodwin, the celebrated
English architect. There was no
defence, nor could there be any be-
cause it was shown that she had
lived at Harpenden with Good
win as a wife and was so rec
ognized, and that two chill
dren were the result of this il
licit union. These children
are now on the stage, and recog-
nized by her. Mrs. Watts, after
her divorce, married Charles War
dell, known by his nom de theatre
as "Charley Kelly" and were hap
PLY mated. The telegram adds
that Watts has refused the baro-
netcy and there are no doubt that
he has cogent reasons for his ac-
ton, lying in a probable disputed
succession and a revival of the
family scandal.

CURE FOR LEPRoSY.
Rubbed With a Native Plant and
Then Steamed Over a Hot Fire.

Then Steamed Over a Hot Fire.
st Louis Post-Dispatch:
The Talmud reads: "These four
are accounted as dead-the blind,
the leper, the poor and the child
less"
A singular fact in connection
with the disease of leprosy, is that,
although this terrible scOurge has
stalked abroad throughout the
known world, and has gathered it's
thousands Of victims since the
earliest historic times, still under
the searching glare Of the light of
modern medical science, no cure
and complete remedy has as yet
been discovered.
A curious custom in vogue about
80 years ago among the Fiji Is
Ianders was we'll known in Aus
tralia'at the time. 1t seems that
the natives were wont to endeavOr
to cure the victims Of leprOsy by
the smoke of the sinugaga (eXcoe-
cOria agallochal.)
Not even those who had been
poisoned by handling the deadly
juice Of this deadly plant could
form any adequate conception Of
the fortunes endured and the hero
ism displayed by a Fijian, who
voluntarily submitted himself to
trying the cure of his leprOSy by
the smoke of the sinugaga. The
patient, already nearly half dead
with the ravages of the fearful
maladY, as a last resort was taken
to an empty house and stripped Of
every article of clothing. His skin
was rubbed all over with dead
leaves and then buried in them
A fire was kindled in the middle
Of the room and few pieces OF sin
ugaga wood laid on it.
AS soon as the black smoke be.
gan to rise the leper was bound
hand and foot, and a rope was
fastened to his heels, by means oil
which he was drawn up over tho
fire, with his head about u inches
from the ground. The door closed
his friend retired a short distance
and the victim was left to shout
and cry, and plead, while sutfOcat
ing from the dense steam ano
smoke. He was often left there
to endure this agony for hours
until finally he tainted away.
When his relatives considered il
time to interfere, the fire was re-
moved, his entire body scrapeG
from head to foot, and gashes cut
into the flesh, from which blood
poured In streams. He was Their
lowered from his uncomfortable
position and laid on mats to await
the result.
In many cases it means life anC
restoration to health, but in some
cases the constitution was no
vigorous enough to endure The
terrible ordeal, or the disease haC
gained too strong hold upon thu
sufferer, and death released hin
from his tOrtures.

England's Love for America.

Blue and Gray.
Admiral Daniel Ammen, In re-
cent magazine article, congratu-
lates himself and his country upon
England's supremacy on the sea,
and predicts continuance of this
supremacy. There is some truth
and a good deal OF humanity in
what he says, but our experience
teaches us that the best way to
make John Bull "tote fair" is to be
perfectly independent OF him. An
other war between this country
and England is so nearly impos-
sible as to be practically out of the
range of argument; but we have
every historical reason to suppose
that In the event of armed HOSTILE
ties between the United States and
almost any other leading power,
the "kinship" of the British, of
which sundry Anglomaniacs and
hopeful humanitarians so love to
speak, would be shown chiefly by
the energy with which the Albion
would fit out war vessels for our
enemy and carry his commerce I'M
der the Union Jack. The Ameri-
can Eagle is quite willing to be on
amicable terms with the British
Lion, but does not consider it wise
to place too much confidence in his
gentle purring. Public men who
pretend to speak for America would
do we'll to note this.
