that he would be perfectly justified in
shooting even "Goody'' Collins herself.
Mrs. Collins went on the stand and ex-
piained that she was merely a poor old
widow with a little plat Of ground and
few live creatures. she declared with
much Indignation that she knew no more
about witchcraft than she did about as
trcnomy. She said that any man who
made such a talk about her ought TO be
sent to a lunatic asylum. She asked that
this man who had prosecuted her be made
to pay for the animals he had killed
Says Judge Was Bewitched.
Il want to estimate the damage" said
the Judge. 'lDid any of those little pigs
die?" he asked Mrs. Collins.
mo, SIR she replied.
TN tell you how it was. Judge" broke
in the farmer. she Jest burned medicine
in the pen and said 'Wally-bahoo' the
right number of times, and every one of
them little pigs had teeth grow and went
to eatin' corn right off,"
Aunt Collins, did any of the chickens
die as a result of losing the old hen?"
''No, SIR said Aunt" Collins.
mo wonder they didn't die" cried the
irrepressible farmer. Her old cat had a
nest in the ash hole and litter of young
kittens. l tell you. that old woman is a
witch. l tell you, that old woman is a
witch. She just dumped them chickens
right in with the kittens, and she made a
ciuck and put it on the old cat, and
them chickens never noticed the differ
ence."
This original explanation provoked such
howl in the court room that the justice
fined the farmer for contempt of court
and made him pay Mrs. Collins the value
Of the property he had killed Now the
farmer more than ever believes that the
old woman is a witch. He even insists
that she bewitched the Judge.

three years old. They managed to get
her to Ca1ao only by the greatest exer-
tion, and many a time they feared they
could not keep her aoat so long.
When the ship went into the dock and
was examined it was found that one of
the plates about the center had worn
through. Further investigation demon
strated that the damage had been done
by a little copper rivet which had been
accidentally left in the bottom and had
rolled back and forth over the same spot
so often and~so long that the iron plate
had been worn thin, and the pressure OF
the water had broken through. The mis-
ch.evous rivet was there and was taken
cut and preserved as curiosity
Shipbuilders tell me that this is not an
uncommon thing It is always customary
as precaution to make a thorough
search of the bottom of a new ship for
rivets and copper filings and other loose
metal Copper filings are especially dan
gerous, because under certain conditions
they are apt to set up a little galvanic
battery and do an immense amount of
damage.

THE SANTIAGO MEDAL.
A Suggestion for the Figure ON the
Diverse Side.
From the Washington Post.

Diverse Side.
From the Washington Post.
We are delighted to hear. through the
medium of a London special to the New
York Sum- that very much overlooked
incident in the war of 1898 has been Inn
mortalized by Spanish artist and so re-
deemed from undeserved oblivion. The
announcement is of special value and sig
nificance at this time, because Secretary
Long has, in his inscrutable wisdom, de-
cided to perpetuate Admiral Sampson on
the face of the Santiago medal, and II is,
therefore, important in the last degree
that the only act OF destruction achieved
by our fleet while Admiral Sampson was
personally directing its operations should
be celebrated on the reverse. Need we
say that we refer to the Matanzas mule?
Let us peruse in a proper spirit the
Suns dispatch above mentioned:
London, July According to the Daily
News there is is to be exhibited in Mad
rid a marble sculpture by an Andalusian
artist representing the noted Matanzas
mule lust after he received his death
wound from an American shell during the
late war. The sculptor obtained the dy-
ing expression by having a mule shot

medal has been definitely ac-
cepted, we do hope that Secretary Long
viii consider the claims of the Matanzas
mule. The drawing we have seen IN the
ne wspapers, labeled. "A spirited scene on
the gun deck" is utterly unworthy of the
occasion. 1t doesn't represent a gun deck
any more than It does a Fourth OF July
and the officer pointing
at nothing in partieular-might as well
be a yachtsman indicating the exact TO-
cality OF a beer saloon on shore. 1t is
as utterly devoid of spirit" as a pot OF
clam broth. and could be used for a
hundred other purposes, MS well as for
that OF the proposed design. Why not
keep 1t for the next sham battle OF the
District naval reserve and put the Ma
tanzas mule-where he rightfully belongs
on the other side of the Sampson medal7
The Andalusian artist has taken a
great deal of pains with his marble efiigy
OF the victim OF SIMPSONS resolute and
effective operations before Matanzas. He
has actually incurred the expense OF
shooting a mule and transferring his
death agonies to paper by instantaneous
photography. To be sure. the event was
not proclaimed at the time through the
medium OF a tawdry dispatch presenting
the carcass 20 the American people, but
Sampson had a whole lot more to do with
killing that mule than he had 20 do with
directing the United States fleet on July
3. 1895, and since We are to have a Samp-
son medal on one SIDE why not make IL
