is an oval-shaped pit 20 feet deep, 60
yards long, and so yards wide. In
entering the visitor Climbs down the
precipitous sides of rock into mar
row gorge and into running water.
The water gushes forth from the
solid rock in two large streams, which
unite below a small island, on which
are two affairs, one made from many
trade guns stuck muzzle downwards
in the ground and topped with human
skulls. The other is made of wood
and supports more skulls, bones,
feathers, blood, eggs and other vo-
tive offerings to the Ju-Ju, including
the head of the last victim.
Over the rock from which the run
ming water springs is roof of hui
man skulls with a curtain, the top
part of which is composed of clothes
and the lower part of native mat
ting, screening the rock and hanging
Just short of the waters edge. The
lower portions of the rock composing
the other sides of this crater are
draped with mats only.
The sacrifcial functions of the
Ju-Ju are performed on the left side
of the entrance, opposite the island,
where a fat-topped ledge has been
hewn out of the rock. The waters as
well as the walls and whole interior
of the charnel-house abound in fetich
lore. The pool is about IL inches
deep and abounds in tame, lazy-look-
in, gray-colored fish, about two feet
in length. These fish have long suck
ers and glaring yellow eyes. The
roof of the Ju-Ju is formed by a mass
of densely intertwined creepers.
At the left of the entrance, through
which the visitor is escorted, rests
the greatest evidence of the devotion
of the native worshipers to their be-
lief in fetichism. There lie the skulls
of scores who have been sacrificed in
order that the Ju-Ju rites might be
fully administered and the spirit
world communicated with through
material offerings.
The natives in these fetich centers
of West Africa believe that by vent
ing their wrath upon human beings,
animals and even inanimate objects
they are enabled to worship the gods.
If they are prosperous and escape
what they regard as misfortune, the
objects of their devotion are petted,
but if the reverse is true they min
lister the most eXcruciating punish
mcnt and cast some portion of the
object in the Ju-Ju.

THEIR TRADE is FADING.
Liquor Dealers Are Planning an Antis
Prohibition Crusade.

Louisville, Ky, March 2S.-A meet
ing of representatives of Louisville
whisky interests-manufac and
jobbing-was held here Thursday to
revive the National Protective asso-
citation, organized in Chicago in 1886
to wage war against the prohibition
movement and to try to show that
"prohibtion laws are Intellectual"
The association will be a national
organization. 1T will have its head
quarters at Louisville and will be sup
ported by a fund to which the dis
tilling and liquor iobbing interests of
the entire country are expected to
contribute.
1t is understood that the organiza-
ton will have unlimited financial
backing, for representatives of the
trade everywhere are taking a deep
interest i'm the movement and already
have authorized the promoters of the
organization to call on them for
funds. The money will be used in
employing speakers to conduct cam
paigns in states where the prohibi-
tionists are strong; in distributing
printed matter; in employing statis-
ticians and writer's on economic sub
iects and ti-prOhibition arguments
particularly.
Steps will be taken to hold ma
tional convention of liquor men, at
which a permanent organization will
be made.
A prominent distiller, discussing
the meeting, said: "The trade is
clamoring for the organization and
there is apparently little doubt of its
success. The entire trade of the
country will be combined on a cam
paign of education.
The special aim of the organiza-
ton will be to show the people in
some states, where the prohibition
movement is especially strong, the
fallacy of their position. At present
a prohibition movement is sweeping
over the southwest and liquor iEtcI-
ests are being hurt. In Michigan,
Maine and Kansas prohibition is also
strong. We want to show these Pao-
pie with speakers and literature, that
in passing prohibition measures they
only reduce their revenue and do not
benefit their states"

Steel and Wire Co. An
nounces Reduction In
|TSCLEvELANDPLANT
Following the ExperimentTried
at Salem Several Weeks
Aso.-No Reason Is
Given.

Cleveland, Feb. 5.-The American
Steel & Wire Co., has issued notice to
the 400 men who have been out of em-
ployment for the past several weeks
that when they return to work on Mon
day morning at the Marquette street
mill it will be with the understanding
that they accept new scale of wages
much lower than that in operation
when the mills closed for repairs. The
orders issued to the men are said by
the workmen to have contained the in
formation that II they did not choose
to accept the lower scale their names
would be erased from the rolls and
their places supplied by other men.
The plant is one of the branches of
the United States Steel corporation.
District Manager A. T. De Forest last
evening refused to make any statement
concerning the cut.
The schedule proposed is direct cut
of about 20 per cent. in all departments
some workers suffering even more than
this reduction, while the cut in some
cases is less. Finishers who have been
making from SIS to SIS per day will be
reduced from $1.75 to 50, while less
lunrative jobs will suffer in proportion
The mill workers say that the cut takes
the wages to point never before
equaled in the mill.
The mill is non-unionized. The
minor officials at the mills state that
they expect no trouble.
The men at the mill were organized
until two years ago, when a strike
ending disastrously for the men, broke
up the union and since then the mer
have been on an individual basis. The
men in the Newburg mills controlled
by the same company fear that the cut
at the Marquette street mill is but 6
precursor for general slash.
