around of officers of Dewey's feet before
the Admiral starts for home. Orders have
been telegraphed TO Admiral Dewey not to
keep officers on monitors more than six
months, and the personnel of the two moni-

Treatment of n "Pow-Wow" Doctor
Upon n Sick Youth.
Lancaster. Pa, May 16.-The death of
Amos n. Schwendt Sunday at his home in
the village of New Danville, was the direct
result of the widespread and superstitious
belief among the rural Inhabitants OF Lam
caster county in the ''pow-wow' doctors.
Few homes of the older Pennsylvania
Dutch farmers are without their witch
books. and charms are invoked to cure
slight ailments or to protect stock or
crops from the spells OF envious neigh
bors. In his case the services of the
''pow-wow' doctor were employed, and
with fatal results.
Schwendt, who was eighteen years old
and the son of well-to-do farmer. was
walking from church two weeks ago with
Harry Erb Harry Brooks. John Harnish,
and Daniel Charles and four young wo-
men. Schwendt had been paying attention
20 one of the girls. and young Charles. 1t
Is said. was reused to jealous anger because
she preferred Schwendt to himself. Ac-
cordng to statement made by Schwendt
just before DEATH Charles suddenly at
lacked him and landed a terrific blow on
his chin.
Schwendt became very i'll the following
day. Home remedies were tried. but
proved ineffective. Rejecting the serv-
Ices of a physician, the family called in
the "pow-wow' doctor. He made passes
over the patient and mumbled what was
supposed to be a charm against the dis
ease. Schwendt grew steadily weaker. but
so strong was the faith in the ''pow-wow"
doctor that he was kept in attendance for
a week. Finally the family was prevailed
upon TO summon a regular physician. 1t
was then too late, as blood poisoning had
set In, and he was suffering from acute
facial erysipelas The youth died yester-
day.
