WHEN THE WITCH RULED.
Old Betty POllin Made Many Della
wareans Unhappy.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There was a time. many years ago,
when Dover. Del, was troubled with
witches. These uncanny things, or
rather beings, were all that they should
be- and many and many a time the
famed Dover Green" discussed the
situation and made plans to rid the
town of the woman. who, according to
tradition, rode aloft on a broomstick.
The folk who lived in and around
Dover were, in the early years of the
eighteenth century, quite as supersti-
tious as the citizens of Salem. They
only differed in the methods OF dis
posing of the witches. Salem used the
stake and burned them alive. Dover
had a more humane, but equally effec-
tive scheme, and 1t is the operation Of
this plan that is told in the accompany
ing story.
One day in June, in liza, Dover had
it's worst case of witch. Growing on
the property Of Benjamin Shirmer were
a large number of very fine trees.
Without any apparent cause the leaves
on one of the finest and stateliest of
these trees withered. The bright,
green leaves turned as If touched by
an autumnal frost and fell to the
ground. In open-mouthed amazement
the villagers stood around and discuss
ed this mystery. Then upon close ex-
animation, it was discovered that the
tree was dead. It's limbs were strip
ped of leaves and the sap had left its
trunk.
Was the Work of witch
witches" was the verdict reached
a g z
no one escaped suspicion from this Sc
rious charge, especially when, few
days later, the chimney of Shirmer's
house fell without warning. There
was not a breath of air stirring at the
time and no cause, except witchcraft,
could be given for this peculiar hap
pening
The next day fine horse. the prop
erty of Shirmer. was found dead in its
stall. This was the climax, for veter-
inarians, who were called, said that
the horse had been ridden to death.
THAT horse has not been out of his
stall for two days" said Shirmer.
But a witch has ridden him." was
the reply. Her marks are on the
horses tanks"
With the death of the horse other
people be- gan to suffer from the pranks
played by the witch. One woman, go
ing to church alone, in broad daylight
was tripped and thrown to the road
by an unseen hand. A small boy had
been picked up and carried through
the air for half "A mile.
Finally a story gained credence that
an old woman. named Betty Pollln.
was a witch. She lived alone in an old
weather beaten hut. The report had
many believers and talk was heard OF
burning her Before any OF these
threats could be put into execution
she disappeared. And this Is the way

CorsetS for the justices.

Washington, May Each member
of the Supreme Court. except Justice
Gray, who is ill. received to-day sam
pies of 'straight-front' corsets and
many samples of garter holders that
go with the corsets. During the after
noon the clerks Office looked like a
corset shop. There were pink and
blue, lavender and white, black, red
and yellow corsets, and the colors of
the garter holders ran the gamut of
color.
The case is that of Panmore VS. Tay-
Tor, and is a suit for the infringement
of a "straight-front" corset patent.
Each justice was given samples of the
styles made by the appellant and the
respondent to accompany the briefs
filed by the lawyers. The justices are
expected to examine the toggery with
due care and see whether there is a
patent infringement. Most of the JUS
tees are married, and they looked at
the samples with becoming gravity and
directed their messengers to take care
of them.
Chief Justice Fuller drew a bewitch-
ing red corset, Justice Harlan's was
blue and Justice McKenna's pink.

was one of the sufferers. His chickens
had died his cows refused to give milk
and the flowers in his garden wither-
ed and died. One morning, two weeks
after the death of Shirmers horse,
Cuff awakened with a start Somebody,
whom he could not see, was sitting on
his chest. AS he opened his eyes the
weight left him, but everything in the
room was upside down. He crawled out
of bed, and, after stumbling over fur
niture, managed to reach a window.
Looking out, the woods and fields pre-
scented a topsy- turvey appearance.
Il am bewitched." he bawled. Then
he laboriously made his way down
stairs, yelling that Betty Pollin was
the cause of his trouble. Then he sat
down to think. Finally he gave JOY
Gus shout. He had a way of remov-
ing the spell.
After considerable trouble he man.

gun. He loaded it with powder and,
taking a piece of silver money from
his pocket, cut II in two with a hatch
ct On account of his deranged vision
his movements were slow. Finally he
was ready. EIe was going to dispose Of
the witch by a method he had heard
his father tell about.
Going out into the barnyard, he
drew on door, with a piece of chalk,
a figure of a woman. Strange as II
may seem, despite his bewitched eyes,
the figure was an image of Betty Pol
lin This done. he stood off few feet,
and, taking aim, fired. The half coin
hit one of the feet. Immediately his
vision was restored This convinced
him that Betty was witch.
Going at once to her tumble-down
hut, he was surprised to hear groans.
Entering he saw Betty limping, and as
she hoppeo around she left a trail of
blood. And, stranger still, her iniur-
ed foot corresponded with the one
struck on the chalk figure.
Cuff accused her of being a witch
ard threatened to get together the IL
layers and have her burned. He left
for Dover Green" but when he and
his posse returned Betty was not to
be folnd. And she has never been
heard of since that day.

From the New York Sun.
Washington. May lit is expected
that four of the leaders of Washing

ed will permanently retire from So
ciety, seeking some quiet and secluded
place of rest until next fall, when they
will again return to their Washington
homes and be able to take up the So
cial reins at the beginning of another
official season.
Naturally, the greatest interest is
centered in Mrs. Roosevelt, who, in
company with her children, Will leave
Washington for Oyster Bay, where she
will quietly spend the summer away
from the curious public, returning TO
Washington the latter part of sep
TENDER.
Interest is also felt in the rumor
that enforced retirement will remove
the charming wife of Senator Depew
from the capital rather too early for
the society people. who have become
so fond of her during her short season
here and who will remain in Washing
ton until the close of Congress.
Just where Gen. Corbin and his
charming wife will spend their quiet
summer has not been decided, but
with the young and beautiful wife of
the Belgian Minister, Baroness Mon
cheur, she will be able to enter upon
next winters brilliant social season
with new interest and new zest.
Society is rife with gossip over the
schedule of the stork in these house
holds, and new interest is given the
past brilliant season on this account.
