Nothing more painfully dramatic than the march of the fanatical Doukhobors, a new religious sect in Manitoba has been witnessed in civilized countries for many years. These Russian immigrants, crazed bE peculiar religious doctrine, are marching across the country with out aim and without provision for the winter. They are harmless in their fahat;eisra. one ei their funda- mental precepts heingthatitissinful 10 shed animal blood in any way or tor any purpose. Therefore they Fre vegetarians.

They are led by a man 1ho is styled John the Baptist" He teaches them that tlfe present mild weather is the result of the pleadines of the Dcukhobors with God, and that there will be no win7 ter. At intervals between his dis courses he whirls about On the prairies like the dervishes of the far east. He seems to have absolute command over the miserable peo- ple.

The authorities have treasured them on fhi5 score, but even at best 1t will be quite an undertaking. to hold in check even the most peaceably in alined swarm O. religionists, what ever their doctrines, when the weather and their hunger begin to cause them severe bangs.

Especial correspondence

Hayti, which may be annexed to
The United States to escape the grisly
horrors of voodoo rule and revolu-
tions, ranks second only to the for
hidden lands of the lamas in it's mys-
terious present. AS for a past, it is
such that even the Haytian patriot
scarcely may find pride in it, and for
the future, the ominous throbbing Of
the voodoo drum is significant of that
isle of mystery, lying frog shaped in
the blue of southern seas.
Old Gen. Tiresias Simon Sam, who
reigned recently as president of this
"black republic" has had seventeen
predecessors in office, none of whom
served out his term of office, and some
of whom died at the hands of the open
assassin, or Immediately after the
deadly Mamaloi or Papaloi, with their
secret nostrums, had gained entrance
to the presidential kitchens.
There is not a night. year in, year
out, that the traveller in any part of
the island cannot hear the strange,
awesome throbbing of the voodoo
drum. Its sounding makes one think
with a tremor of the tales of the Afri-
can explorers, and with reason, for
the voodoo drum is direct importa-
ton from the Gold Coast and the
Congo. When that drum throbs, Hay
ii knows and bows down to its real
master. Not long ago a priestsss of
voodoo boasted openly in Port au
Prince that If she were to beat the
drum in the market square the most
powerful persons in the city would
not dare to disobey her summons.
1t always was a matter of common
belief that Hippolyte was votary of
voodoo, and it was believed almost as
commonly that he belonged to the sect
that sacrifices the goat without
horns" The goat without horns" is
young child, and it is eaten after
che ceremony.
Voodooism holds its strength in the
