PROTECTION AGAINST A WITCH.
Law Invoked to Keep Woman From
Supernatural Detective Work.

Supernatural Detective Work.
Once or twice year some eXtraOr-
binary piece of evidence finds its way
into the papers Of the survival of the
most primitive forms of witchcraft,
and of the belief in the same, in parts
Of Ireland.
AS rnle these cases transpire when
the law is broken by persons ill-treat-
ing the supposed witch, as when last
year an unfortunate woman was held
on the fire to dreye an evil spirit out
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 OF thieves, she had made a
straw image, dressed it up, stuck it
full Of pins, and placed it on a bier,
and proceeded to hold a wake" or
funeral party over it. She then de-
ciared that her intention was to bury
this image, with suitable invocations,
with the certain result that as the
straw Of which it was made decayed
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 it gave them great I'm.
| eaSiness.

The eastern coast of Florida, from st. Augustine

and the prospective resident second to other State
east of the Rocky Mountains. The desirability of
the climate and the natural food so abund-
antly distributed along the entire Atlantic coast
from Fernandina to Cape Sable, demonstrates its
adaptabiIity to all classes OF people TO the home
seeker, the fact of marine food ready for the taking

Among the most prominent and profitable indus
tries that engaged in south of Daytona, is that
of commercial fishing. Previous to the advent of
transportation facilities and the installation of ice
and refrgerating plants the waters teemed with
fish ut all seasons of the year almost beyond the pos
sibities of belief. Within the last twenty years
and since the introduction of the above mentioned
advantages and the most modern appliances for TAX
ing fish, this industry has been increased to enormous
proportions especially within the last few years. and
has created fortunes for many engaged in this
vocation.
The principle appliances made use of on Indian
river are gill nets and senes, the latter being pro.
hibted by law, as destroying enormous quantities
of young fish, but is used surrepttiousy, when the
waters are becoming depleted. An exception to the

the law is enforced in regard to net fishing. Sleeps

In the production of oysters, Florida possesses
in certain localities remarkable advantages, among
which the freedom from the enemies prevalent in
the North. The removal of shell from the natural
beds also understood oysters, is one OF the most
serious impcdiments to successful production, as
from the natural beds the supply of seed and spat

This neglect is rapidly resulting in depletion of
her waters to the detriment of posterity.
The present status of the Florida Fish Commits
SIGN is of empty honor-after nearly eight years
of persistent effort without an appropriation. It's
enemies have prevailed to the extent of repeating the
laws creating it, but individual effort they cannot
suppress, for it will be but matter of time until
the people of Florida will have their eyes opened to
the magnitude of the revenues to be derived from
the fisheries from which they are receiving
benefit. Should it be possible that we have more
killing frost like that of 1894, the reduced valu
ation of property, together with the depletion of
our forests, would require an additional revenue to
sustain the expenses of the State. We will then be
compelled to recognize the wealth of our waters, and
create from them by license revenue greater than
from any three combined industries the State may
now possess.
In the meantime the correspondence relating to

reasons the full report of the entire catch is not

1t is certain that neither the catch nor the value
of the commodity has deteriorated during the years

unable to give statistics other than an authentic
statement of the number of barrels of fish shipped

1903 and 1904 from Florida over the Florida dvis

present system of wardens. The repeal of the Sec

of 1905, is the result of years of persistent effort
of those who desire to control the natural food
resources of the State without contributing to its
revenues which, if controlled by suitable laws would
produce a revenue of $4,000 annually 1.-THE re-
