Visitors to the revivaIs are taken to
the barges in rowboats. The ignorance
of some of the country people is not
proof against the terrific word pic
lures, drawn by the crude eloQueuce
of Noah Lynch of the flood which is
to devastate the earth. Many of the
converts seem to honestly believe that
Lynch is the modern Noah, and pro-
fess faith in the certainty of the pro-
phesied flood.
Others of the converts, and the
bulk of them. are mere shams. Life
in the ark is very easy and much more
attractive to indolent minds and
bodies than the drudgery of farm
work. Each new convert contributes
all of his or her worldly wealth to
the common fund; the surrounding
waters abound with fish, and veget-
ables can be had from the farming
folk in the vicinity for next to Moth
ing. The women on the boats per-
form the bulk of the work. and this
consists almost wholly of preparing
the meals which are models of sim
plicity
The regulators would never have
been called into life had it not been
for the fact that Noah Lynch and his
cohorts were, like the Mormons of old,
making particular efforts to induce
young country girls to become con-
verts. and in several cases had sue
ceeded. One of the last converts of
this kind was the daughter of a family
famed for its responsibility in the
vicinity, and although the father and
mother exerted strenuous efforts TO
induce the girl to return to her home
she resisted all appeals.
The fact that the sanctificationists
are followers of the Mormcus in the
matter of their domestic life also
helped to bring about the uprising
against them. The feeling had been
very strong prior to their efforts to
convert the young girls, owing to the
number of homes which had been
broken up by the deserticn of either
the father or the mother.

not known, but he was surprisingly
successful, considering the absurdity
of his claims Men left their wives
end children to begin life in the ark,
and wives deserted husbands and fam
lilies. In short time it became neces-
sary to scure a second ark, and later
on a third and then a fourth.
There is no knowing how large a
fleet Noah Lynch would have gathered
about him had not the sensible people
of the surrounding country risen in
their might and with shotguns, rifles
and pistols descended upon the four
barges. The rattle of bullets against
the sides of the arks showed that the
reformers meant business. One of
the women on Lynch's boat had the
hardihood to poke her head out of one
of the windows to argue with the reg
ulators, but the next instant she fell
her head The men in that country
shoot surprisingly straight, but had
they known that their target was a
woman her life would have been
spared. The attack of the regulators
was made in the night time while
big revival was going on, and as they
were shooting from some distance
they did not know until next morning
that it was a woman they had killed.
This attack had the effect of check
ing the alarming growth of the sane
tificationists. Noah Lynch ceased
much of his activity in making new
converts and many of those who had
joined the band thought better of it
and returned to their homes. The
arks, which had been anchored close
to the bank of the Chowan river, for
the convenience of communicating
with those on shore and to afford su
easy method for intending converts to
participate in the revivals were
moved out into the broader waters of
Currituck sound. Here the sanctifica-
zionist were comparatively safe from
future descents by the regulators.
Since then Noah Lynch and his band
had kept very quiet until recently
when they renewed their activity.

Every people and every time have
their cranks, and of this class are the
so-called santificationists who a few
years ago expected a second deluge
and made preparations accordingly.
This was not far from Norfolk, Va,
when upon the placid waters of Curl
tuck sound, near the mouth of the
Chowan river, were four barge'ike
house boats ready for the crisis.
There were $50 men, women, and a
looked toward Christmas, not with the
merry anticipation of the rest of the
world, but with dread.
These people called themselves
sanctiiicationists, and they expected a
second flood to deluge the earth on
Christ's birthday. The four boats
they called .arks, and the leader of the
strange band styled himself Noah. He
was a religious fanatic of a peculiar
type, and claimed to have had vision
in which he was warned of the coming
of the flood. He appeared to be deep
ly in earnest and firm believer in the
truth of his peculiar representations
His real name was Joseph Lynch. He
was about fifty-five years old, tall,
thin and gaunt, with a long struggling
beard and is a common type of the
poor white on the eastern shore OF Vir-
ginfa and North Carolina.
Before he became the modern Noah
he was poor farmer, like others of
his class. OF education he had prac-
tically none, but he was shrewder than
the others, and, moreover, he pos
sessed a rude eloquence which Seemed
to have given him great power over his
ignorant neighbors In some way he
gathered a peculiar medley of Biblical
information and this he cunningly
distorted to serve his ends.
A trif1e less than a year before he
sold his farm and purchased an old
barge, which he remodeled on the
lines of the pictures of the original
ark He made it habitable. and then
set about the work of making con-
verts. Just what means he adopted is

1T is possible that the excessive

expected in a short time but when
one considers the size of the army in
the Philippines, the proportion will ap-
pear quite small.
Il see no reason for the cutlery that
has been raised concerning the in
sanity of the soldiers in the Philip
pines" said DR.. Latimer, who has
been one of the hospital physicians
for more than ten years. Il have seen
a great many cases of insanity among
soldiers during my stay here, and
noticed no difference between the
symptoms manifested by the troops
from the Orient and those in this
country. The wonder would be that
more do not go insane. 1t is hard for
the average layman to appreciate the
causes of insanity, for the reason that
he thinks that every one mentally af-
fiicted is of necessity raving
maniac.
The young men out there go a
long way from home, where letters are
few and far between. The tropical
climate is something to which they
have not become accustomed, and they
are subject to fever and become physi-
cally run down. Their rest is broken
by noises incident to campaigning and
camp life. Add to this the insects
that bother them, the tigers that
creep under the skin and cause con-
slant irritation and itching, and you
have enough to worry the average
mortal into insanity. The trouble is
due 70 a rundown physical condition.

INSANITY IN SOLDIERS RANKS.
Washington Authority Contradicts
Stories of Madness in the Army.

1t may surprise some people to learn
that it is nothing remarkable for
soldiers to go insane, that they are
more inclined to do so than the ordi-
nary civilian. 1t will probably be
something of a shock to learn that nc
greater percentage of the army in the
Philippines is afflicted in this manner
than of that which invaded Cuba. And,
worse STILL that there are not so many
cases due to alcoholism as usually
arise in the regular army at home.
As a matter of fact, the number OF
insane soldiers in the Philippines is
proportionately small. The violent
cases are reduced to the minimum;
few OF them are permanent. The
causes are inconsistencies, infrequent
mails, strange climate, physical
weakness, due to fever and irregular
rations when in the field, and, possibly
too much quinine to ward of malaria.
A visit to the Government Hospital
for the Insane, otherwise known as st.
Elizabeth's across the river at Ana
costa, will convince almost any one of
the truth of these statements and
will rob the previous reports of many
of their terrors.
Since July 1 last, when the insane
soldiers were first sent to this country,
ffty-one patients have arrived up to
February, and eleven more were
brought on from San Francisco. They
were under the charge of a sergeant.
and two Of them escaped from the
train. One OF these was recovered and
brought to the hospital somewhat
bruised up, but the other has not so

Crop Prospects.

Many correspondents report that
the acreage sown is larger than usual.
Much land has been prepared for
corn, planting is now in progress in
all sections, and in localities in the
southern sections has been completed,
and some corn is up. This work is
much further advanced than usual at
this season. Flax is about all sown
in the southwestern counties. Some
melons have been planted in Scott
and some castor beans in Vernon
County. Early gardens have been
made, and potatoes planted. Wheat,
as a rule, is looking fine, but is need
ing rain badly. Spring wheat has
been sown in the northwestern
counties. Grasses are starting, but
their growth is being retarded by
cold nights and lack of moisture.
Peaches, plums, cherries and some
apples are in bloom in the southern
counties, and reports indicate tina,
the ceach crop may be somewhat
larger than IA expected at the close
of March.

TOUGH on MornERs-IS-L.w.
Court Rules That a Man Need Not

Here is d new mothe>-in-law joke.
1t is a judicial one, and ahile it will

Justice jerks of the Surrem" Court,
Brooklin. handed down u decision in
the case vi james Hylahd. who Is
suing for separation, which prac
tically declares that Il man need not
support his wife if she persists in
having her mother with her against
her husbands wishes.
Hyland declared that his mOther-ln.
law made life a ''waking nightmare
for him, that she poisoned his wife's
mind against him, and, despite the
fact that he never wen out at night
and helped his wife clean the rooms
and dry the dishes, her mother would
persist in annoying him at every op.
p%ortunity.
He also stated that he was willing
to live with his wife at any time, but
that she insists on having her mother
with her, to which he will not consent.
Mrs. Hyland put in a claim for
counsel fee and alimony pending The
suit. The judge declined to allow TIE
claim, saying that Hyland could not
be compelled to support her if she
refused to live with him, and that he
was not compelled to take her mother
with her.

nothing of value. His speech CON
