A MURDERER,s 100000 BAG.
He Attributed His Crime to It and Pined Away and Died When He Lost It.


 Away and Died When He Lost It.
 A case out of the ordinary, by reason of the superstitious element in it, has been closed recently by the death of the principal character in the penitentiary at Frankfort, where he had begun to serve life sentence for murder. A year or more ago negro named Andrew Bell killed another negro " ith so little provocation that he was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for life On the trial Bells defense was that he was not accountable, as he was under the inf1u- ,. enoe of thoodoo bag , This bag he had bought from a doctor as charm for good. After it came into his posses sion, he said, his disposition changed, and his mind was filled with murderous thoughts at all times, finally oulminat- ing i'll the murder of a negro against whom he had no previous il will. As stated, he was convicted, but an appeal was granted on the strength of his claims for the part the hoodoo bag had taken in the crime
 All this time Bell had e1ung tena- SAON9AJ oO O4iO D9hsS3 HI uO CttS6 p6T- mitting himself to be parted from it. and it was with him in the penitentiary. His attorneys went there for it. Bell begged them not to take it from him, because he would die if they did They told him it was necessary that the bag should be sent with the papers in the case to the clerk of the court of appeals if he hoped to win his case on appeal. Finally he consented to give it up. and the hoodoo bag was turned over to the clerk. Bell at that time was in excel lent health and had always been a bur- ly man. AS soon as the bag was gone he began to pine away, and he died within ten days.
 The hoodoo bag is still in the hands of the clerk, but nobody wants to handle 1t except with tongs, and negro can not be persuaded to go near it. It is little red bag and is said to contain such grewsome and shivery and weird and uneanny things as hair from Q graveyard rabbit, hair from cat that died ill fit, wool from a dead negro's head mingled with strange herbs gath cred in the woods at midnight and crushed to powder on a tombstone.- Winchester (Ky.)

Rev. Mr.. HAYDEN Lectures.

The Uniyersalist church was quite well
filled, Sunday evening, to hear Rev. c. A
Hayden deliver the last of his course of
four lectures ON "What Is Truth:'' The
first lecture was on the Roman Catholic
phrase of the question. The second was
in reference to the Protestant Evangeli-
cal answer. The third was the agnostic
side or answer, which says that we cannot
know what truth is in regard to God and
Immortality.
his lecture, last evening was "Our
Answer" and he appealed to reason and
conscience. He took as text - Yea Why
Even of Yourselves Judge We not What is
Right. The lecture was forcibly ana
plainly delivered and held the close atten-
ton of the hearers. He SAID that truth is
authority and we must perceive it; it ap-
peals to our needs and to reason and
conscience. We accept evidence not die
tation and teachers not masters. The
man comes before the church and the
Bible and it is to him our efforts are di-
rected for the enabling Of humanity.
Spiritual things must be spiritually dis
cerped and we must stand ready to accept
those truths that appeal to reason and
conscience in nature art and science
Truth must be paid for in its own coin
and not silver or gold can buy it, but the
truth loving nature. Could we procure
all these blessed things from pamphlets
and the Bible how rich all might be. The
basis of truth is within US and not with
out In closing Mr.. Hayden spoke of the
efforts to be manifested that the church
be made Catholic in the sense universal
and Protestant in the true meaning, and
have the right to private judgment The
course has been beneficial, interesting and
instructive.
