San Francisco Inqulsltors.

Few more horrible stories of police brutality have ever been told than the one that came from San Francisco last Rose Torturici. wife of a suspected Italian murderer. This unfortunate woman is now seriously i'll in a hos pital and if she should die the detec- lives who were responsible for tor turing her will be guilty of murder as surely as though they had driven knives into her heart.
 Understand. Mrs. Torturici is not accused of any crime whatever. She has not been branded as a criminal in any sense Of the word It has not even been shown that her husband is q criminal. He is only suspected of being a murderer. Yet, in an effort to wiring from the woman a statement as to the whereabouts of her husband, in spite of her pitiful and persistent denials of any knowledge on this score, the woman was subjected to treatment that makes the worst feature Of the Spanish inquisition look like summer recreation.
 First Mrs. Tortur,ci's infant child WIS taken from her. Then she was dragged to the autopsy room at the morgue to look at the mangled body of her husbands alleged victim. She refused to look at the body, as any woman would have done under the circumstances. Next the blood stained blanket and shawl in which the body was enclosed were suddenly thrown at her. The result was that insane. Any woman in the world guilty or innocent. would have been driven mad by such treatment.

Ethics and Eating.

Some people may be disposed to laugh at the Boston clergyman who asserts that the world is becoming many good things to eat. The Boston dominic. however, is merely the evOlv- ed product of that dietetic philosophy, fashionable just now, which teaches that you cannot possibly find anything wholesome to eat-that one thing will destroy your stomach, another will annihilate your liver and still another will ruin your kidneys. A consensus of the experts in this line would un- doubtedly show that our only resource nothing fit to eat or drink The Bos- ton preacher has not got quite that far along. but he is in a fair way to ar rive.
 A reaction from this foodphobia is about due. Indeed. 1t is already in progress. since a great many people who undertook to follow the instruc- tions of the food sharps have given it up in despair. going back to the old principle of eating what they like and in quantities to satisfy them. We hear less about people digging their graves with their teeth and similar wise saws. There is not now so much solemn didactic humbug on the subject.
 People will shortly realize that the average adult has a pretty good idea gained through experience-of what he may safely eat and that he is a better judge of his needs and limita- tions in that direction than anybody else can possibly be. That is, if he finds that certain things agree" with him and other things disagree" with him he would be very foolish to ig- nore this self-attained knowledge and accept the dictum of some self-consti- tuted oracle who lays down a diet for mankind without regard to individual idiosyncra cies.
 Man is. after all. an animal, and he retains something of the instinct which warns the lower animals against unwholesome food. Where his in stinct is at fault. moreover, his reason. basing it's deductions upon his expe- rience, will guide him safely in mat ters dietetic. As a general proposition it is safe to say that a man will be best off as regards his stomach if he eats what his fancy calls for. If he finds that his appetite is misleading him then it will be time to take coun- sel of the food sharps-who will promptly advise him to quit eating al- together.

her disease and after that let her alone. She said that once before the Little Devil" had been sent for to cure her and when he was brought into her presence he began to tell her that he was not a wizard and that he had visit cd no disease upon her. He was i'm mediately seized with a writhing and fell upon the floor where he lay in great agony. When he had partially recovered he effected a cure and after that he lay for days at the point of death fearing that a revenge would be taken upon him for his unfaithfulness to the person who had employed him to afflict Mrs Lara. Mrs. Lara said that her son is hunting for Perez with the rotion of killing him and that he can not be found anywhere.
 Mir. Porterie told the woman that the law could do nothing for her. There is nothing in the territorial statutes nor in the ordinances of the city of Phoe- nix bearing upon her case.
 This suggests an opening for the de- mocratic convention which will meet in this city tomorrow devoid of an issue all other living issues having been seized or preempted by either the re- publican party or the citizens party. Why should not the democratic party pledge itself to the passage of an or dinance prohibiting the practice of witchcraft within the city limits. That this suggestion comes from The Re

Jiu-JItsu as a Failure.

The Japanese fighting game, jiu- iitsu. is below par just now Ameri- cans are complacently asserting that second-rate boxers and wrestlers have beaten Japs defending themselves with the jiu-jitsu. As a matter of fact Americans are able to glory in this belief solely because the Japs who fought our second-rate boxers and wrestlers were mighty fOrbearing and self-restraining. accoro-.g to Japan ese authority.
 Jiu-jitsu is not a gentlemanly sport. The name signifies muscle breaking. It would be more apJly descriptive if it also meant bone breaking. Here Is an example of the gentle tactics of jiu- jitsu. When one man succeeds in throwing his opponent he is supposed to follow up the fall by hurting him self forward in such manner that his knee bores into the other mans stoIa- ach. What would happen to the Jap who tried that trick when wrestling with an American?
 Jiu-jitsu is a popular sport in Japan for a simple reason. The men are trained so that it is difficult for them to hurt each other. Your practiced fighter has so trained and prepared his stomach that he doesn't mind partic- nlarly if some one does jab his knee into it. The Jap engaged to instruct the West Point cadets has developed his throat to such an extent that none of his pupils can choke him.
 Considering that there are fifty jiu- jit.5u blows that mean certain death and at least twice that number which will temporarily or permanently dis able, it seems as if it is a little pre- mature to sweepingly condemn jiu Jitsu as inefficacious. Another thing may be considered. Some of the Japs claimed to be experts may be incom- petent The Japanese wrestler who made a sweeping conquest of Amer ica a few years ago was in Japan valet to a second class wrestler More over. he had consumption. So. all things considered, jiu-jitsu should not be too hastily condemned.

The men who were responsible for it should be driven in disgrace from the police force of San Francisco. There was absolutely no warrant for their actions, no warrant in law. no warrant in humanity. They are cruel beasts too miserably vile for words Were the woman thrice a murderess, were she steeped in blood from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. she still would be entitled to bet ter treatment.
 There is a law. evan in San Fran cisco. which says that every individ ual Is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

A VICTIM OF wITCHcRAFT
The Peculiar Affliction of Hrs. Fran
 cisca Lopez.

There ts 2 woman in this town with a curious hallucination and it is the more curious that she is not alone in the enjoyment of 1t. She is Mrs. Fran cisca Lara who believes that she is afflicted with a "diabolical malady." the work of one Francisco Perez, bet ter known among a certain class of Mexicans as the Little Devil"
 There is a popular theory that the Little DeviT' has the power of visit ing misfortune in the form of myster- ious disease upon those who incur his displeasure and it is said that others who desire revenge on enemies em- ploy him to work vengeance upon them. Mrs. Lara says that the Little De- vii" has no personal grievance against her but that some one living on the other side of the river has hired him to amict her.
 The malady affects only in the night time and takes the form of a great distention of the abdomen accompanied by intense pain. During the day she is not afflicted. The case has had some investigation by persons who are not creduIous and they swear that about 9 o'clock at night the distention begins and continues until daylight, the wom- an in the meantime suffering horribly.
 A couple of days ago the woman called on the family of J. A. Porterie and asked MT. Porterie as an officer of the law to rid her of her tormentor She thought that the authorities could take action against the Little Devil' for she had heard that in Spain great many years ago witches were burned by law
 She brought with her a letter writ ten at the dictation of Jesus Lucero. the blind mendicant, to the Little De- vil' urging him to cure the woman of

THE GROWTH OF A CHURCH
The Close of the Sessions of the Ari-
 zOna Presbytery Yesterday.

The Presbytery of Arizona closed its four days session yesterday afternoon and a number of the ministers last night left for their homes in the differ ent parts of the territory. The meet ing has been a notable one. represent ing the largest growth and the best condition of the church in the sixteen years of the Presbyterys history. Three pastoral calls were accepted and ar engagements were made for the install lation of the ministers elected, Rev. Allan Krichbaum of Morenci, Rev. John E Fry of Bisbee and Rev. George Lo- gie of Douglas.
 The reports from the Indian work were especially interesting, represent ing five tribes and the influence Of the missionaries upon the lives and char acter of the Indians was indicated by the passing away of the medicine mans power, the abandoning of superstitious rites and the accepting of the Chris tian faith and practice by many famil- ies on the reservations and in the schools.
 Rev. Robert Ballagh was received as a new member and will take charge of the work at Wickenburg and Congress with surrounding mining camps.
 The statistical reports from all the churches and missions in the territory show a total communicant member ship of 2,515 and a Sabbath school en- rollment Of 2,533. There are twenty three organized churches and ten mis- sion stations served by eighteen or dained ministers and sixteen licentiates and helpers. During the fiscal year 336 new members have been added to the communicant roll and SIP baptisms of adults and children have been admin istered.
 Rev. Thomas c. Moffett of Tucson was elected missionary for the terri tory. The missionary committee hay ing oversight of all the work in Ari- zona was continued with the same members as last year, Rev I4apsley A. McAfee being chairman. The next an nual meeting will be held at Douglas and the officers of the Presbytery for the year are the Rev. Charles II. Bier kemper, moderator and Rev. George Logic stated clerk.
 An important action by the Presby- tery was the unanimous answering of the overture to the general assembly for union with the Cumberland Pres byterian church.
 The resolution which was passed preceding adjournment as follows was ordered printed: "The Presbytery of Arizona takes great pleasure in record

ing it's gratitude for the privilege of again meeting with the First Presby- terian church of Phoenix whose bounti- ful hospitality has been enjoyed so often in the past. The fulness with which every need and comfort have been anticipa ed and supplied. the kind and hearty welcome to the city and the homes which pastor and people have extended, the most excellent music which has vocalized the Divine good ness and the rare flowers which have beautified the sanctuary-all are eX- pressions and tokens of the love and kindness which have made us glad and have given greater efficiency to our meetings.
