A MURDERER's HooDoo BAG.
He Attributed His Crime TO 1t and Pined
Away and Died When He Lost II.

A case out of the ordinary by reason
of the superstitious element in it I as been
closed recently by the death of the principal
character in the penitentiary at Frank
fort, where he had begun to serve life
sentence for murder, says the Winchester
CKyl correspondent of the New York Sun.
A year or more ago negro named Andrew
Bell killed another negro with so little
provocation that Re was convicted and sent
to the penitentiary for life On the trial
Bells defense was that he was not account
able, as he was under tie influence of a
'hoodoo bag" This bag he had bought
from doctor as charm for good.
After it came into his possession, he said,
his disposition charged, and his mind was
filled with murderous thoughts at all times,
finally eliminating in the murder OF negro
against whom lie had had no previous i'll
will As stated, he was convicted, but
an appeal was granted on the strength of
his claims for tie part the hoodoO bag had
taken in crime
All this time Bell had clung tenaciously
to the bag, under 10 circumstances per-
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 EoodoO bag was turned
over to the clerk Bell at that time was in
excellent health, and had always been
burly man. As soon as tie 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 it ex
cept with tongs, and negro cannot be per
suaded to go near it. 1t is a little red bag,
and is said to contain such grewsome and
shivery and weird and uncanny things as
hair from graveyard rabbit, hair from
a cat that died in fit, wool from a dead
negro's head mingled with strange herbs
gathered in the woods at midnight and
crushed to powder ON a tombstone.

AN AMERICAN TRILBY.

Trilby has living analogue! And she lives
right here in New York. Some four or five
years ago there was a model, well-known in
certain clique of artists drawn on Washing
ton Square, who used TO come "out of the
East" to pose for head. and, hands, and feet
Whether she posed for ''the altogether. ;" like
her fascinating prototype, does not appear,
put they still talk of the marvellous beauty of
her extremities, model by no bungling prem
tice hand, but formed by natures master
workman
She kept the studio stirred up continually
by her funny tales of life over East, tales
where the wit and fun were thin disguise
for the pathos and misery below She was
desperately poor, and had. moreover, a
mother to support by her efforts. So day
after day she would trudge over from the
East Side, and sit for the "knights of the
brush, taxing the brightest among them to
keep pace with the flash of her repartee.
There was Svengall in the story, too, not
an evil genius, however, with hypnotic pow
ers, but kindly old Belgian violinist. who
lived away up under the caves. and amused
himself playing accompaniments to the twit-
tering sparrows. One day he heard a lark
sing in the dirty old tenement, and set him.
self to find out where the songster lived. 1t
was our pretty model singing, as she moved
about her bare little room. and he made a
bargain with her that she should come up to
his attic in the evening on her return from
posing and let him teach her how to use the
grand voice nature had given her.
So night after night he taught her the notes,
and the wonderful voice unfolded like a
lovely rose, while the sparrows stopped their
quarreling to listen, hopping on the window
sill and cooking their impudent little heads
sidewise to see. He trained her for four or
five years, and one day laid his head on his
arms and cried because he could take her no
further. and the wonderful voice, the child of
his heart, must languish unheard for lack of
the touch of perfection.
But fortune smiled on our Trilby, and one
day some ore heard her sing, who took her to
Europe, and gave her the best that Paris has
in vocal training. This spring she is coming
back. and we shall hear that voice which is
said to be one of the best America can boast,
whose first song was heard under the caves
in an East-side tenement

DR.. SHADES CHLORIDUM
Discovery for Consumption Cures the
Daughter of the Late Major
Willis DrummOnd.

Major Drummond was at one time Com
missioner of the Government Land Office,
but was compelled to resign on account of
his health. His physicians sent him to Cali
fornia in 1888. where he died of consump-
ton. The majors son, Walter, succumbed
to the same dread monster, as did also his
daughter Miss Minnie. An interview with
the daughter referred to, who was cured by
DR.. Shade of consumption, VIII appear i'll
next Sundays Times. She was also given
up by her physicians, who advised her last
summer that unless she would go TO some
other climate she would not live to see the
spring.
Distance lends enehantment," but too
many physicians advise their patients to
go to "some far distant cline y to be brought
back in a box. DR.. Shade has cured over
score of people of consumption who re-
side in the District of Columbia, some of
whom were sent 'hither and thither" by
their physicians, not because they expect
them to regain their health by their advice
of change of climate, but solely because
they were tired seeing these walking ghosts
present themselves day after day for
treatment which has never cured single
case OF consumption. If the lung special
lists of this city have cured single case
of consumption, why don't they produce
the case, that their friends may take cour-
age?
: Read the names and addresses of a few of
ourcitizens who have beencured ofconsump-
ton, or greatly benefited by DR.. Shades

street, has made a reduction III his terms
for office treatment for March, which we
are glad to see, so that no one need despair
or give up hope before trying the only treat
ment that has arrested the dread disease,
consumption. The Times investigation
has received congratulations on all sides
for the courage displayed in the face of OPP
position to prove to the satisfaction OF every
unprrjudiced mind that DR.. Shades chic

SAM BROWNS FIRST KILLING.
A Nevada Desperate Whose Career of
Crime Was Started BY a Bully.


Crime Was Started BY Bully.
''At my first meeting with Sam Brown,
the famous desperate, he did me an honor
that few men would care to receive"
said Washington Parker, an old-time Ne
vadan. to a New York Sun man. He
invited himself to be my travelling COM
panion on two o-days' wagon journey.
1 was starting out one morning with a
wagon and pair of horses from little
mining settlement known then as Gold
crop. AS came opposite the hotel large
man standing on the veranda hailed me
and asked me if ! was going to Virginia
City. / answered yes. and he said:
- i reckon III go along with you
- I'm Sam Brown he added. May
be you don't have much confidence in me
since hearin' my name. but reckon Wen
travel along together all right.
We'll, there wasn't anything to be said
but All right; jump aboard, and Sam
Brown, with a carpet-bag in his hand
and his pistols bulging under his coat,
came out to the wagon and took his seat
beside me. He proved a civil enough COM
panion and we got through to Virginia
City all right, with nobody killed on the
way. He had taken along bottle of pre-
pared cocktails, and had box of cigars,
SO that the time passed rather socially
as we made our journey together.
I'VE went into camp that night at Sandy
Springs, about half way to Virginia City,
aud in the course of the evening he told me
something of his life and adventures. One
thing in particular that remember was the
way he came to start out on his career of
killing. ] don't recall whether it was in
Texas or Missouri that this first affair
happened, but it was when he was q hulk
ing young fellow, green and chicken
hearted, to use his own words in telling it,
There was certain gambler in town
where he was staying who used to bully
and abuse him when they came together,
and whenever the gambler saw him in
saloon he would kick him about and drive
him out of the place. One day man un-
friendly to this gambler said to Sam:
Why do you stand all this abuse from
that gambler? Take this pistol, and the
next time he crowds you, kill him.
Sam took the advice and the pistol, and
the next time the gambler went for him,
instead of sneaking away and looking
sorry, he shot his tormentor dead After
he had thus got his hand in, killing men
came easy to Sam. and he made a long
score before his own time came
Though, as ! said. we made our journey
together all right, l knew it would take
too little to set things to going all wrong
for me thoroughly to enjoy Sam Browns
society. / wasn't sorry to set him down at
the Primaventura saloon in VSginia City,
where we took a drink together, shook
hands, and went our different ways"

Pistol Carrier Put Away.

Frank Nicholson, who is well known in
East Washington as a desperate young man,
was before Judge Miller yesterday charged
with carrying concealed weapons, big
Navy revolver almost as long as carbine.
Nicholson was arrested by Police
Lemuel r. Smoot, who stated that he
fired the pistol twice on the streets before
he was apprehended. The prisoner said
he was only keeping the weapon for an old
sailor. He went TO jail for three months.
