CuItivating Poisonous Plants.


The obeahman is well versed in all
the vegetable poisons of the island,
and sometimes cultivates in some re-
mote valley in the mountains patch
of deadly plants. He knows that the
presence of vegetable poison is much
harder to detect than that of mineral.
One of his favorite methods of pos-
oning, which is diabolical in its in
genuity, is to soak the undergarments
OF an intended victim in strong de-
coction of poisonous herbs. The pos,
on is of course absorbed by the per-
spring body Of the owner of the
''doctored" garments. and his mys-
FERROUS death soon follows.
A notorious obeahman named Eben-
ezer Shelley. who was recently en-
ecuted at Montego Bay, confessed to
employing this means of Kidding his
clients of their enemies. He also re-
vealed curious secret of his craft.
His most deadly poison, he said, was

Whole Family Poisoned.

Whole Family Poisoned.
One of the most noted men of ia
naica, Judge Joseph Hurlburt, in SEN
fencing to death an obeahman con-
victed of the poisoning of an entire
family recently, said: 1T is my belief
that a special statute should be put
into effect against this baneful prac-
tlce do not doubt that many men
cutie as dangerous as this prisoner
are at large to-day. Obeah is the
most serious problem the modern
West Indies have to face. No man can
be said to be safe from sudden death
until this thing is stamped out by the
most stringent measures"
Outwardly there is nothing to dis
tinguish the obeahman from the ordi-
nary villager, unless it is perhaps his
sinister look and peculiar slouching
gait, as, carrying in one hand long
stick and in the other cotton bag
containing bits of broken bottles, cats
or dogs teeth, nails, bones, pins, bits
Of cloth, ETC., he shufiles along the
country roads or back trails on some
deadly mission. Besides his more sim
lister trade of death, the obeahman
deals in love philters and charms. 1t
is, too, well-known fact that in cases
OF lawsuit an obeahman is retained as
Tell as a lawyer. Usually he works"
81. home on the case, but occasionally
he accompanies his client to court for
the purpose of casting spells on the
prosecutor and his witnesses and IT,
fluencing the judge and jury.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES '-''t"~''1G
! The Brotherhood Of Oh !

Especial Correspondence.)

In Jamaica, the most beautiful of
the West Indian islands, there SUM
Lers beneath the smiling exterior of
things a volcano of dark superstition
and savage fanatcism, which occa-
sionally becomes active with deadly
results. The high priest of Obi, or
the obeahman, as he is more COM
monty called, Yields a power in the
land that the stringent measures
adopted against him by the British
government have been unable to put
Gown.
On may read in the Jamaica papers
quite frequently of the Imprisonment.
and, where murder can be proved, the
execution of some member of the
Geadiy brotherhood of OBJ.
The practice of obeah is said to
have first arisen in Egypt, taking its
name from the idol Oh. From there it
spread over the whole continent of
Africa, and with the importation of
slaves from the Guinea coast to the
West Indies was transplanted to
soil in which it flourishes with ever
increasing virulence. The old plant
erS were well aware of the deadly
character of the obeahman, and, as it
was supposed that he carried his
magic, or obeah, under his hair, al.
slaves were shaved before being
landed.

Were We'll Pleased With the Band.

Judging from the remarks heard on
all sides Saturday the people were
agreeably surprised and pleased with
the performance Of Cottonwood band
on that day. Knowing that the boys
had been practicing less than three
months and that few II any had ever
had any previous training of any kind,
the people We're prepared to listen to
some pretty poor playing and would
not have been greatly surprised to see
them break down several times. but
instead they played the pieces through
with hardly mistake and acquitted
themselves very creditably. The boys
have been practicing hard for the past
couple of months and under Mr.. Mo-
denis excellent instruction expect to
be able to furnish some pretty good
music by the Fourth Of July.-Cotton-
