SHE DRANK DEVILS BLOOD.
But That and other Love Potions Failed to
Restore Miss Besam's Lover

:
Restore Miss Besam's Lover
She drank the DEVILS blood. But Sarah
Besam's tickle lover never came back to
her. So she had Solomon and Lena Bern
stein, who had been selling her love potions,
arrested. When they were arraigued in a
New York police court, she told this story
to Justice Koch;
II was formerly engaged to my cousin
David, jewelry peddler. About seven
months ago he started to keep company
with another girl, and l worried myself
about it considerably. / had a card given
to me which gave the address of the Bern
stems and stated that they were fortune
tellers. Thinking that they could tell me
how to regain my David's love, went to
see them. AS soon as / stated the object Of
my visit had my fortune told, which cost
me so cents.
''Then Mrs. Bernstein told me must see
her husband about my sweetheart. was
taken into private room, and there Bern
stein said, You must give me a dollar and
one cent
II did so, and he wrapped it up in wad-
ding and placed il between the mattresses
Of the bed. / asked him what he did that
for, and he replied that it was a peace offer
ing to the devil; if it was taken away dur
ing the night, whatever wished for would
be granted. Then he charged me an adj
ditional dollar for his fee, and | left the
house.
'Next day called again and was told
that the devil had taken the money away,
but had left orders that was to buy a bot
tie Of his blood or l could not get what
wanted. / was so eager TO regain my sweet
hearts love that | bought bottle Of the
red fluid which Bernstein guaranteed to be
genuine DEVILS blood. and for which he
charged me s665.
There were no instructions on the bot
tie, but Bernstein told me TO meet David
that night, get a silver spoon and give my
sweetheart one spoonful and drink the resi-
myself II did this, he said. David would
love me more than ever he had done.
II carried out his instructions TO the let
ter, although Davy did not seem to like th'
blood, nor did he love me any more. So
again visited Bernstein. and be gave me
bottle of black fluid He told me TO get al
at 2:3O a. m, 90 into the back yard in stock
inged feet and splash myself with the huis
when the moon would shine on me, and al
my requests would surely be granted.
Il did as directed, but il was cloud,
night, and although l staid out for tire
parts OF an hour and used the whole bottl
Of stuff the moon would not shine.
"Then called on Bernstein again, and b
sold me so worth Of roots TO make tea
which and my lover were to partake Of s.

walls of the capital, 20 the winter palace

night the tail end Of this vast imperial pro-
cession was suddenly cut off by a well or

The main part Of the procession passed
on in blissful ignorance of the exciting cpl

made, the eunuchs and ordinary attendants

IL was only next morning that the news

Dr. r. c. Cave. OF this city. was invited
20 speak He made an address on the
southern question, Of which the following
is a part:
ave have held our peace for thirty
years while the northern people nave
represented US as an ignorant horde OF
rebels and traitors. battling only to hold
human beings In the bonds OF slavery
II IL is true that the Confederates were
traitors and fought only for slavery, the
best thing that we can do is not to buiid
monuments but 10 tear those down that
now stand and neglect the graves OF the
southern dead until the beating rams
smooth the little mounds TO the lever Oh
the plain and nature covers their place

IL the shame OF the Southland. But II
the men who followed Lee, Jackson, ana
Mhsourrs Price were not rebels and
traitors but true-hearted patriots, bat
Ting for their homes and native land. we
owe IL TO them and 10 ourselves to boldly
affirm and fearlessly ass art the fact.
'sThe time has come when our feelings
and convictions must be crystalliZed into a
form that shall be thundered down 10
future generations. II Is said that the war
IL over; let IL rest in peace: that 1t IS a
dead issue; but that is sheer nonsense.
The civil war as a political issue Is dad.
but as a truth OF history II can never die.
As a political issue used to create sec
tional hatred and feeling. it ought to he
dead II IS not the South that has kept
II alive as such for thirty years. The
northern people are the ones that have
kept them alive. They are the ones that
have appealed to tn hatred Of the South
that they have in their bosoms TO gain
votes.
I'VE are wiling TO let the war die as a
political issue, but as a truth OF history
we can never afford 10 bury II. To the
northern men who seek to frighten us IN

Whatever the rights the southern people

nephew came to Washington TO nurse
him and was appointed his alternate un-

month he divided his salary In two equal
parts, one of which he placed in an en-

This he did for six years without inter
mission.
During Mr. Harrison's Administration
an unsuccessful attempt was made to
oust him. because he mad been Confed-

resulted in his loss Of official position and
consequent distress.
The case has been taken up by the
