WITCH DOCTORS VICTIMS.
Strange Fancies Increasing Among Tho
Negroes of Tennessee.

Mary Harper, negro woman, died
recently in Tennessee of fright caused
| by witchcraft, although the physician ;
| certificate states that she died of ner-
vous exhaustion. The facts as related
by one of her nei@hborS, with whom
| she was very intimate, are as follows {:
The deceased and a woman named
| Watson were rivals for the hand of a
negro man named Thompson, who
seemed first to prefer one and then the
other, being exceedingly variable in
| his moods. Several quarrels took place
| between the women; none, however.
with serious consequences. Some few
weeks ago the Watson woman told the
| Harper woman that if she did not
| leave Thompson alone she was going Ia
.'fiX" her, by which it was meant that
| she was going to resort TO witchcraft.
This weighed heavily on the woman ;
mind, and within two or three days
| -he became too weak to work, and Wa.
! confined to her bed.
The sheets were found to be pinned
| together with a rusty needle, and after
| this discovery the woman grew more
feeble every day and died as stated.
The physician was unable to tiud any
disease, and the presumption is there
fore irresistible that she died from the
! effects of sheer fright.
Whitchcraft among the negroes is on
the increase in this section, and a num-
ber of notable instances have Occurr, d

a SUPREME AMERICAN,

a Calendar of Great Americans is
the title o: an article contributed to
the current Forum by Woodrow Will

cussed Lincoln's greatness. Lincoln,
he says, more than JGcasOn, was the
rupreme American OF our history.
The most singular thing about his
wonderful career Is the way iu which
he steadi y grew into national
stature. lie began an amorphous,
unlicKed cub bred in the rudest OF
human lairs: but as he grew, every
thing formed. informed, transformed
him. TLc lTlceSS was slow but un-
broken. lie was not fit to be Presi-
dent until he actually became Presi-
dent He was fit then because,
learning everything as be went. he
had found out how much there was
to learn, and had still an infinite ca.
pacity for learning. The quiet voices
OF sentiment. and the murmurs of
resolution that went whispering
through the land, his ear always
caught, when others could hear moth
ing but their own words. lie never
ceased 10 be common man, that was

had no social imagination; no un!a-
miliar community made any i'm

stifIened young, and nothing after

feet it. But Lincoln was always
a-making; he would have died untin-

war had not stung him to learn ia
those four years what no other twenty
could have taught him. And, as he
stands there in his complete man

Western strength, tempered with

Tanning with Palmetto Leaves.

Tanning is usually done with oak
or hemlock bark. But now it has
been found that the palmetto tree is
equally serviceable for such purposes.
For several months tanGery at Mar
low, near Savannah, Ga, has been
working with this material, and the
leather turned out has been largely
used for making harness A lot
weighing about 1000 pounds was
sent to Baltimore last month, and
was sold as 'Oak tanned" This
Gather is said to be strong, pliable,
md bright in color; its weight is
normal and satisfactory, and the new
astringent performs its work in such
= way as to make rapid tanning de-
sirable. Tine-saving in some of the
old processes was attained at a sacri-
fee of quality.
1t is the leaves and stems of the
palmetto, aad not the bark, which
are thus used. Two crops a year may
be taken, and it seems that the cut
ting stimulates growth and improves
the condition of the plant. A con-
trioutor to the Manufacturers Record
says that fraction over two pounds
Of salted hide, at : cents a pound, is
needed for one pound Of leather
The labor employed costs 4 cents
more. The palmetto added another
cent, making the total cost between
9 cents and 10 cents a pound. The
leather sold for II cents. After pay
ing freight and commission, the
Droflt was 20 Der cent. Having done
duty IN the vat, the palmetto fiber
can be sold again for use in cheap
mattresses, factor not introduced
into the foregoing calculation; and
under better management it is
thought that palmetto tanning can
lie rendered less expensive than at
present. Eere is new and very
promising industry for the South
New York Tribunu.

the dGcadenCe OF marriageable men
in the Four Hundred. Last year
there were ninety-Seven debutantes
while only nineteen males were added
to the fashionable circle. Every year
sees an increasing number of de-
butantes and a decreasing number OF
eligible men. No wonder the coach
man is called in occasionally to equal
ize somewhat the disparity between
the married and the single. There
is less marrying in New York's ultra
