MODERN MAGIC.
lSuperstitions Yet Surviving in Great
 Rrifa in

|Superstitions Yet Surviving in Great
 Britain.
 Within the last few weeks there have
 been reported several remarkable cases Iof the survival of the black art of
 witchcraft and its practice in various |parts of the country even to-day. At
 Exeter, under the very shadow of the |EcathedTal, a herbalist was convicted
 of obtaining money under false preten- Ices. His fraud was the. performance of to free persons from tho |spells of evil spirits. In one. case he
 was called upon to purge a bewitched
 room, which he did by scattering pow ider and repeating the Lord $ Prayer,
 For this he charged and received e5' A similar case engaged the Petty Ses-
 sions at Boltishan, near Cam nbridge, in
 March. Walter Smith. wood dealer.
 was sent to prison for a month for cruelty to his three horses. They would. not work and their Illness he ascribed to a spell cast over them by an enemy. To make the witch appear he procured two bottles of wash, some nails and the Eparings of a horses hoof from the |yiliage blacksnliths He boiled the whole together with penny's worth of Ipins, muttering an incantation over the | fire while the pot boiled, He then ad-s ,ministered the broth to the horses, giv- ling them no food in order to make the potion most effective. In a stabbing case at Essex Assizes last December it was stated in evidence that to quicken the healing of the wounds the knife with they were inflicted was srneared with grease and put in the injured
 mans bed. The knife was piled to pre- vent 1t from rusting. for Tilortifica ation of the wound is supposed to follow the rnsting of the instrument. At Black
 burn, month or two ago, a dog stealer pleaded in defence of his crime that the l fat of a stolen dog was a a cure for
 rheumatism In this belief he had taken the animal and killed it to make an unguent.
 Only year or two ago a diabolical case of conscientious cruelty was un- folded in 8, coroners inquest upon the Iivictim and before the magistrates at Clonmel A woman fell under the sus- picion of having gone with the fairies Her husband and her father believed ! she was a witch, and called in a herb to |jexorcise the devil that possessed her. Six neighbors assisted at the torture. She was first to swallow a decoction prepared by the herb doctor and then l8drenched with noxious fluid. The
 herb doctor recited incantations over the kitchen fire, and the nine men then held the nude woman over the flames.
 While she was roasting, her husband demanded of her, Are you my wife?" A red hot poker was also applied to the woman's flesh to burn out the evil spirit. She screamed and begged her husband and father to let her go. but

POLICE PUZZLED OVER
PENCILS DEPARTURE
Think That He Wishes to Evade Service of Sub
PGna-No Definite Proof That Suicide
Was a Defauter

BUFFALO. \. Y. April S.-There are
two features relating to the defalca-
5ions of Arthur r. Penneu to which ap-
parently little attention had been paid
thus far by those who have studied the
case Today they will receive the
closest attention OF the authorities be-
cause they are regarded as of the ut
most Importance
One Of these features. the more strik-
ing one in many ways. is the fact that
thus far absolutely no proof that would
stand the test of law has been adduced
TO show that PenneEl actually stole the
amounts alleged tc have been taken by
him. Beyond the statement that ad-
missions have been made to the effect
that PeRnell was defaulter. absolutely
nothing has been shown to substantiate
these admissions.
The second feature is the disappear
ance from Buffalo OF J. Fred Penneil,
administrator of his brothers estate,
a short time after he had a conference
with Thomas Penney. attorney OF the
estate. Mr. Penney says that he does
not know now where Pennell is, but pre-
sumes that he is away on a business
trip. The opinion of tle police is fhst
Pennell disappeared to eVade service Of
a suboena to appear at the inquest next
Friday afternoon. All the known facts
indicate that he left Buffalo shortly AZ
ter publicity was given TO his brothers
defalcations.
According to statements made this
morning 1t viii avail PenneIl little to
remain away. The inquest can be ad-
journed indefinitely and he can be served
at any time in the future. And during
all the tine OF such an adjournment he
will be a hunted man.

ness for the prompt inauguration Of the
work on the Panama Canal on large

control of the property OF the French
comDany without waiting for the actual
ratification OF the treaty by Colombia
Adv!ces received by Mr. Herran. the
Colombian charge d 'affaires here. and by
the state Department from It's minister
al Bogota coincide in declaring that
there is no doubt that the Colombian
congress win ratify the treaty There
will be some opposition from politicians
who VIII object to the extent OF the con
troll given the United States over the
canal zone. but the great mass OF the
people are heartily in favor c. the
treaty. and are eIecting a majority OF
both houses of congress pledged to vote
for it, Il requires only a majority vote
in each house TO Fatify the convention.
The final vote is expected about June IL
Under the circumstances the United
States Government has determined to
start the preliminaries necessary TO as

excavation at This point was performed
first for the purpose of equaIizing the
work ali along the line.
There We're several logical and judi
cious reasons for concentrating efforts

The plans of the French company and
of the United States commission are
identical in this respect. but that point
having been reached. there is from now
on a slight variation, and the United
States proposes TO have the balance OF
the work along its own lines
The special commission viii note the

penditures made since February OF last

stroke of work that has been done since
then is, of course, that much labor saved

ment expects to reimburse the French

little interest for him. so far as the Pen
nell inquest IS concerned. but he says II
is Of extreme interest to know any facts
concerning Penneu which may throw
light On the Burdick tragedy Conse-
quentIy he intends to conduct the Pen
nell inquest with the sole view of throw
Ing light on the murder, and irrespective
entirely OF what phases Of Pennelrs life
will be revealed thereby
II is believed that papers now In the
possession CT J. Fred Penneu will throw
light on many things which the district
attorney would like to have explained,
but PennelI may destroy those papers.
There is nothing to prevent him from
doing so.
At the same time. it is said, it viii
make little difference If he does destroy
them, for the reason that, once ne is
subpoenaed, he could be forced TO answer
extent of his brothers defaIcations as re-
vealed by the papers. and such other
things as the district attorney may deem
it worth while TO know.
Another interesting question which has
been raised. and which is still unanswer-
ed, concerning Pennell's affairs deals
with what money, if any, Pennell had on
hand at the time of his death It is be-
lieved that he had no ineousideTable

times Where did he keep this money

point.
