LAND OF WITCH DOCTORS.
Miss Clark Tells of Their Power Among
African Tribes.

Mr.. Balmer gave another interesting
talk last night on South Africa, at the
Free Baptist church to an audience which
fully tested the capacity of the church.
In his opinion the Africans of maturer
growth are SO vile, diabolical and STEPPED
in wickedness of every kind, that it
would be useless to attempt to civilize
them, but that the children are sus-
ceptible subjects and afford a field for
practical missionary work
In proof of this he introduced five lads
who were types of four distinct tribes
who gave an object lesson in what we'll
directed philanthropic work can accom-
plish.
They sang in Katfir and in English.
duet entitled 'The Wolf and the Lamb"
and another in the Hottentot language
greatly pleased the audience and they
were heartily encored. There is melody
to the voices of these lads and they sing
with sort of pensiveness and yet again
with vivacity which makes their num-
bers very engaging. Dare to be a
Daniel was another taking piece.
Mr. Balmer game a detailed history of
each one of these youngsters, interviewer
with funny incidents in their early
history which was listened to with the
keenest interest.
Miss Clark in Kaffir costume then made
few remarks. She referred to the fact
that she was red Kaffir woman and that
these women got their name from the
habit Of smearing their bodies in red
clay.
She feelingly alluded to the treatment
of women and children in Kaffirland.
Children soon after birth are fairly per-
forated with holes to be filed with sort
of grease to keep away evil spirits. When
six weeks old one finger is cut off and
twins are put to death. The power of the
witch doctor was dwelt upon and a witch
hunt graphically described. At sum.
mon from the doctor the tribes assemble

A FATHERS CHILD.
James Dunlop Comes to Court with a Gu
rious Complaint-He Has Not Seen His
Child and Says He Cannot.

Messrs Seth L. Larrabee, of Portland
and Frank ~ Higgins, of Limerick, ap-
peared Wednesday before Judge White
house in a case involving romance enough
to fit forth with the plot novel of the
Charles Reade school. The parties in the
case are James Dunlop, his wife, Abby
Dunlop, and their four. years old child.
Mr.. Dunlop was formerly superintendent
of the Holland mill at Limerick, and is
now employed in mill at Somerswortb
N. II.
The facts in the case are not clear, as
the counsel for the two sides do not agree.
MIR. Higgins gives his clients story as
follows: They were married and lived
happily until their child was about to be
born. Then his wife went home to her
fathers and mothers home in Bridgton
to remain until after the birth of the
child. They parted in good terms; but
his wife never came back to him, al
though she wrote him letters such as a
wife would be expected TO write. He went
to Bridgton to see her, but at the rail
road station was served with libel for
divorce. The divorce suit was tried in
York County about two years ago, and
the jury decided in favor of Mr.. Dunlop
refusing to allow the divorce.
Sometime ago Mrs. Dunlop came to
the Probate Court in this county and
asked for the custody of her child This
was given her. The father, however, in
tended to appeal to the Supreme Court;
but allowed his time of appeal to elapse
Therefore his attorney Mr.. Higgins, came
before Judge Whitehouse to ask that his
client might have the opportunity to
bring the case before the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Higgins said that although the child
had been born four years. the father had
not seen the little one, and could not see
it. Mr.. Higgins intimated that the
mother was not responsible for this; Tut
that the grandfather and grandmother
were.
On the other hand Mr.. Larrabee denied
entirely that. Mrs. Dunlop's parents We're
doing as represented. Mr.. Dunlop was
at perfect liberty to see his child, and
was making complaint and taking action
merely to cause annoyance.
The council were not able to agree as to
time of hearing, and Judge Whltehouse
suggested that Mr.. Higgins try to get
ghe desired opportunity to appeal from
Judge Peabody. Then the case could
come regularly before the supreme Court
on appeal. The matter therefore was de-
erred

/ CANNED CORN.

A careful review and comparison gives
as a fair estimate that the pack of sweet
corn this year was between 200. 900 and
45O 900 cases. One season the packing
arose to ZOO, 900 cases, but 100000 is about
fair average.
There was recently found in this city
small lot of canned corn which was
packed nearly, if not quite, quarter of
century ago. Upon opening some of the
tins the contents were found to be in
perfect condition as to sweetness and
soundness,. but the corn had lost some of
it's original fine flavor.
