nc Lie assurance society.
In to-day's REPUBLICAN we pub
llsh a page advertisement of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States. This association
is the strongest financial institution
of the world and it gives its policy
holders the choice of a number of
contracts. The company has been in
successful operation since 1859, and,
while it is the youngest of the great
companies, it is the leading life in
surance corporation of the world. Its
achievements since its organization
have been unprecedented. The society
has not made its remarkable advance
at the expense of strength or secu-
rity. Its management has been char
acterized as much by prudence as by
energy. 1t has transacted a business
which has been both profitable and
safe and has had as its representative
in Oakland and Garrett county Major
w. S. Sommerell of North Car DINA,
who can be relied upon, and who has
made and is making daily many
friends. So far this company, through
its representative, has written policies
in Oakland and community to the
amount of hundred thousand dol
lars, the majority of which has been
placed upon the lives of the most
conservative business men of the
county.

\ grea; many persons in Oakland
were surprised few days ago by re-
ceiving cards announcing the wedding
of Mr.. Wade Hinebaugh and Miss Sa-

Grafton, West Va, on Wednesday

very quiet and few persons outside of

friends since their retutn to Oakland.

The Charleston Outbreak.

II is interesting news that comes from
Charleston. At the United Confederate VET
erans' Convention, yesterday resolutions
were offered commencing the patriotic
purpose of the Government in pushing
forward the work of permanently mark
ing the lines and positions of the troops
of both the Confederate and Union ar
mics on several great battlefelds OF the
Civil War with the design of making these
battlefields permanent memorials OF the
prowess Of American soldiers without re-
spect TO sections Other resolutions were
offered by Gen. Stephen d. Lee applaud
ing President McKinley's suggestion that
the graves of Confederate soldiers be car
ed for by the Federal Government Strange
to say. they met with storm of cpposi-
tion," and it was found necessary to
change them so as to provide in effect that
the Confederate veterans will allow the
Federal Government TO care for the graves
of soldiers within Northern districts and
around Federal prisons. but the women OF
the South prefer to have the duty Of
watching the graves Of soldiers here in the
South"
OF course everyone must respect the
sentiment which the amended resolutions
embody. II is only natural that the
Southerners should insist on caring for the
graves of their own dead, and should, to
some extent, resent a disposition on the
part OF other people to perform that duty
for them. But there was no reason to in
ject an element of acrimony into the mat
Ter. General Lees resolutions were offered
in the best of good faith. and if it were
known that they were not in accord with
the spirit of the occasion they could have
been quietly withdrawn without subjecting
them TO the indignity of storm of oppo-
siton." Certainly when the President
made his Atlanta speech proposing that the
graves of Confederate soldiers be cared
for by the Federal Government, he seemed
to have appealed to the patriotism of the
nation. and nowhere was his suggestion
more heartily welcomed than in the South
itself.
However, the Confederate veterans know
what they want better than other people.
and if President McKinleys proposal
prompted by the most generous and patri-
otic of notives-does not meet with their
approval it will no doubt be withdrawn.
as a matter of accommodation, if nothing
else.

Modern Superatition.

A sort of wave of superstition seems TO
be sweeping over the country just at pres
ent. Its manifestations are different in diff
ferent places. but the spirit is all the same
In New York ''hea.er" Mrs. Maria Miller
has caused a little girl to be crippled for
life. In the same city a woman, within a
week, died under treatment from Chris
tian Science healer" In Chicago a prom
inent member OF the cult of Christian
Scientists died of disease from which she
had suffered for some five years. The dis
case had been pronounced fatal unless
surgeon would undertake to operate upon
the sufferer. For ten years this woman had
been a believer. In Pennsylvania a farmer,
while crazed By religious excitement, killed
his wife with an axe and then committed
suicide. In New Orleans young woman
applied to voudou doctor to cure n throat
disease. and the fakir stabbed her in the
throat with pair of scissors to kill the
devil" which had lodged there.

the community is becoming aroused to that
fact All these instances of ignorant cred

within the last two or three days, and they
are not all that might be quoted.
The only consolation is that America is
not, after all, so very far behind other civ
tllzed lands. In fact, We have less of this
sort of thing than any other nation. except
possibly England. The country Is a large
one, and in the last fifty years there have

The persecution of witches in Europe

People In those days believed that human
beings had supernatural powers on cccas-

wrongly used, they believed in treating the
wizard as criminal. 1t is encouraging to
see. as recorded in history, that these de-
lusions faded out sooner In America than
In Europe. Under the hearty, wholesome
influences OF pioneer life the vapors and

Senor Regidor, who is the Filipino agent

the necessity Of proceeding along vigorous

A CHINA SET WITH A HISTORY
Wns i'm Use ON Dewey's Ship During
the Manila Fight.

Versailles. KY. May 12.-Mrs. Edward
Hensley, the mother Of Rev. Alex c. Hens
ley. Of this city. has just received a hand
some set of dinner china that was in use
on Admiral Dewey's ship during the bat
tie Of Manila, May 1, 1898. 1t is present
from her daughter. Mrs. Colahan. tine wife
Of Lieutenant Commander Charles F. Col
ahan, Of the United States ship Chicago.
The china was bought in Hongkong over
year ago and Admiral Dewey kindly
consented to transport 1t to America on
the Olympia. A few days afterward he
was ordered to Manila and so the dinner
set has just reached its destination.
Its owner. however. is exceedingly glad
OF the delay on account of the hallowed
association which has greatly increased
the value Of the china.

The Salem. witehcraft delusion has
been made much of. especially by people
who like TO abuse New England. and 1t
has even been charged that the Puritans
were far behind the times in engaging
In witch-burning. As matter OF
fact, no human being-not even an In
dian scalp -hunter-was ever burned alive
by the people Of that region. The spo-
radio outbreak of this delusion In Massa-
chusetts was In 1892. just at the close Of
the fearful Matthew Hopkins persecu-
tion In England. in which three thousand
persons lost their lives. and hundreds
were sent to the stake. The last exc
cution for withcraft in England was
twenty-five years after the Salem psnic,
which lasted only a year. and was quickly
and deeply repented by all who had to
do with it. In Salem nineteen persons
were hanged, and one man. under an old
English law providing for the punishment
Of a criminal refusing to testify. was
pressed to death. Less than a hundred years
later a woman was burned at the stake
in England. and as late as thirty years
ago. in the same country, mob drowned
an alleged witch. The belief in witch
craft was prevalent throughout the whole
country. and one woman in Virginia was
tried and condemned for the crime. while
1t was not at all uncommon for persons to
be burned for this offence In the West In
dies. A foster-sister of the Empress
Josephine was burned at the stake in
Martinique for having attempted to Kill
her mistress. and on the Continent OF
Europe the belief is still firmly held BY
ignorant people.
