NEGRO vOoDoo DANCE.
DarlSies OF Chattanooga Are Hard
at Work.

ST. LOUIS. July 26.-A special from
Chattanooga, Tenn, says: The negroes
of this community have revived rha
v0odO0 dance and once month sew
eral hundred of them participate in
this weird and heathenish mode of wor-
ship. Today the entire negro commu-
nifty went wild over the voodo0 dance
and several hundred fanatics are now
dancing and will continue until their
strength is exhausted. sn
The dancing has assumed immense
proportions and today negroes travelled
from Alabama and Mississippi to take
part in it.
The news has been spread among the
ignorant and superstitious negroes of
several states and all who can raise
money for the trip make the pilgrim
age to Chattanooga.
News comes that negroes have ac-
actually left the cotton plantations in
Mississippi on mules and are coming to
be ready for the next manifestation.
The dancers have secured quarters in a
negro suburban settlement called STAN
leytown. The applicants for member
ship In the band take their seats in the
middle of dark room. There they
wait until an apparition is seen and im-
mediately rise ana relate it. If the
dream is horrible enough and suits the
lookers-on the negro is admitted into
fellowship with the heathen dancers
and ct once begins his dance with the
others.
The voodoo worship has assumed
such alarming proportions. that the at.
tention of local officers of the law has
been called to it and il is probable that
3 stop will be put to 1t before another
dance takes place. At first it was
looked upon as Joke.

Then there will be a public recep-

followed by meeting probably in
Light Guard armory, where oppor-
tunity for the expression of the sem

given.
Governor Pingree, at the meeting
held to outline the reception, favored
the idea of holding genuine ''indigs

reception. Mayor Maybury raised the
question whether such expressions
would not embarrass and dispease
General Alger, rather than otherwise,
but the governors mass meeting idea
prevailed.

Train No. was five hours late this
morning on account of a wsshout that
occurred last night NEAR Laguna. The
train was stopped at Gallup and the
passengers notified of the delay. which
was at first estimated at twelve hours.
The time was more than cut in half by
the energy of the railroad people in
constructing temporary track. 1t
seems from all accounts. that a short
bridge was undermined.

His Friends Are Grooming Him for

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 2S.-That a
movement is under way to make eX-
Secretary Of State Richard Olney, the
Democratic candidate for president next
year, is revealed in letter from Boston
Gen. ~Olney's campaign Is based on the
theory that he is in favor of imperialism
while opposed to annexation. The writer
Of the letter referred to is gentleman
who is very prominent in Democratic
politics, and he says that the movement
in Mr.. Olney's favor is well under way
and that work is being done with sys-
tenn. 1t Is urged in his behalf that he,
though gold Democrat in 1896, did not
make himself obnoxious to the free silver
element, and that on the expansion Ques-
ton he would be an available candidate,
being opposed to the annexation of dis
tant islands to the territory of the United
States. Mr.. Olney's views on the acquisi-
ton Of foreign territory are very pro-
nounced. He believes in the United
States striking with the other nations of
the world for commercial greatness but
not political extension.
