CHARM FROM AN OLD GRAVE.
Negro Supposed to Have Cut OF tho
Hand of n Dead Man,

Negro Supposed to Have Cut OF tho
Hand of Dead Man,
One of the most mysterious cases Of
negro superstition has come to light
near Adairsville, Ga. The grave of
Godfrey Barncsly who has been buried
for more than thirty years, was found
opened and his right hand had been cut
Off. evidently by Il negro for the pur-
pose OF obtaining the first joint of the
middle finger rs n charm. 1t was first
thought the motive might have been
robbery, as there were stories around
to the effect that Barnesly had been
buried with lot of money and jew
elry. Relatives, however, say this was
not the case.
Indeed, upon investigation the body
seemed not to have been tempered
with except in the cutting off of the
hand. 1t was in fairly good state of
preservation, except that the flesh, OF
course, had withered away and crum-
blcl to dust. The hand, however, was
missing and it is explained on the
theory of the negro superstition that IL
n person carries always with him the
first joint of the middle finger of n
man who has been buried he will never
be arrested, no matter what crime he
may commit
Circumstantial evidence points
strongly toward n negro who has been
loaiing around Adairsville for some
time. He borrowed wrap recently
from a friend for the purpose OF at
tending to some work, as he said.
When the wrap was returned it con-
tained red mud. An examination
shows it was practically the same rs
that found in the grave.

A TOUCH OF RUSSIA.
Ev N Quail


Soon after reaching st. Petersburg
on my globe cirolinS trip I eound an
American who had just arrived that
morning, a man from Stamford. Conn.
named Joshua H. Bidwel. He was the
inventor of the wire clothesline and
having patented it in England, France.
Germany and other foreign countries,
had arrived in Russia with the same
thorough Yankee from top to bottom
L had scarcely shaken hands with
him when he informed me that the po-
lice already had a spy on his track
and added:
I'm here on straight business. I am.
I'm here to patent and sell the right to
manufacture the only galvanized wire
clcthesline ever invented. Warranted
not to rust in any climate. No props
needed, and they never break Can be
left outdoors the year round, and light
ming never strikes a house where orc
of these lines is strung in the back yard.
Nothing to get out OF order, and the
cost is only 10 per cent. above cotton or
hemp IF the police let me alone l
shan't hurt anybody, but if they tackle
me they'll wake up harmful of humble
heaz.''
1t was Mr. Bidwells intentions. after
knocking about for two or three days,
to visit the American legation and So
licit advice on how to proceed to get his
patent We set out to st. Petersburg
in company. 1t was the cause of our
coming to grief The spy who had been
following him appeared to be more
alert than before; but. fearing that Bid
we'll would do something rash, did not
mention the fact of our being logged.
He did not catch on until the afternoon
of the second day. We then were knock
ing about on foot and were in the ma
tional aquarium when he suddenly said:
"B'gosh, but Pm going to know why
that cat-faced chap is following US
about I've caught sight of him hang
ing around US a dozen times in the last
two days, and now I'll just ask him
what's on his mind"
/ protested that trouble would result,
but the Connecticut man was as indie
pendent as if strolling about New Ha-
ven lie walked straight up to the spy,
TAPPED him on the shoulder, and said;
Look here. Mister Man, have you amy
business to transact with us?"
He spoke in English, and the Russian
could not understand word of it. He
evidently got the drift of things, how
ever and seemed greatly surprised and
annoyed at being addressed in that off,
hand fashion.
We went out, turned into Warsaw
Place and entered a wine shop. Bid
well presently went to the door to see
if the SOY was around and almost
bumped into him.
Now, then, you mean looking son of
a gun, but this is a little too Steep" ex-
claimed the Yankee. Il gave you fair
warning, and now
