AGAINST A WITCH.
Law Invoked to Keep Woman From
Superpatural Detective Work,


Once or twice year some extraor.

and of the belief in the same, in parts
Of Ireland.

ing the supposed witch, as when last
year an unfortunate woman was held
on the fire to drive an evil spirit oui
of her.
But the last few days have shown a
novel case, in which the protection of
the law was invoked to protect certain
persons against witch.
An old Irish peasant woman had suf
fered from the theft OF small sum
OF money. Being unable to discover
the thief or thieves, she had made a
straw image, dressed it up, stuck it
full OF pins, and placed It on bier,
and proceeded to hold a wake" or
funeral party over it, She then de-
clared that her intention was to bury
this image, with suitable invocations,
with the certain result that as the
straw of which it was made decayen
away SO would the body of the thief
waste and dwindle.
Certain Of the neighbors (possibly
with guilty consciences) asked that the
police might stop this experiment in
witchcraft, as 1t gave them great I'm.
easiness.

President Pinkham of the Board of
Health has his faults, many of Shem
and the Star has not hesitated to critl-
cize him for them when criticism saem-
ed to be coming his way but in the at
tempt to fasten on him the blame for
Sundays proceedings at the leper set
Element the morning paper is making
itself ridiculous. 1t is acting like a
peevish old woman with neuralgia. The
world seems a very uncomfortable place
indeed and all things are going awry
when Pinkham's name is mentioned.
Pinkham did not have the situation in
his own hands. He did not have con-
troll of the police squad. He did not
load the Kinau down to the danger line
and further more it might be said that
he did not run the engines, collect the
tickets, wait on the table or stand his
trick at the wheel. The Legislature
hired the ship and had full control of
her. The only way that Pinkham could
have done anything towards keeping
the crowd off the island would have
been to have provided himself with a
Maxim gun and to have turned it on
the boat loads of people as they APP
preached the landing place.
