NooDoo DANCE IN a SWAMP
Weird Ceremonial Attracts Negroes
Of Florida and Georgia to
Festivities.

In certain parts OF the soutl
voodoo superstitions still exist
and lead, especially at Christmas
to quaint rites that have marked
suggestion of savagery.
One Of these ceremonials may
be witnessed in the swamp and for
est lands of Florida and Georgia
1t is apparently pantomimic rep
resentation of human resistance to
death or Of deaths attack upon a
community. This is especially a
Christmas voodoo ceremony.
= 1t takes place in the cabin that
contains the largest room, as all
the negroes in the community
are generally on hand as wit,
Resses.
Tho spectators seat themselves
around the side walls, leaving an
open space for the performers in
the center Of the room.
All but one of the performers
remain in the kitchen until ready
for their entrance. At the walls
opposite the kitchen door a small
table is placed and there an elder.
ly negress, the mistress OF the
ceremonies, seats herself,
Solemnly she begins beating
time on the table with her small
sticks, while the other negroes in
the room sing doIeful hymns. In
the midst of this three loud raps
sound on the kitchen door.
The singing abruptly ceases, and
the audience manifests signs Of
terror. The raps sound again,
followed by the noise of a scufle.
Then the presiding negress arts
es, takes a lighted pine knot from
the fire and starts a slow, whirl-
ing dance, chanting some weird in
cantatiOn.
The kitchen door is burst open
and three men with blankets
around their shoulders enter. As
the dancing negress moves toward
them, waving her torch and chant.
ing her prayer or hymn, they sink
before her to the floor.
The melancholy dr0ning and the
dance go on, but are again inter
rupted by raps. This time single
man enters, having a black sack
over his head and carrying long
bone in his hand.
This entrance causes genuine
CONSERVATION. All the negroes in
the room seem frenzied with fear
and huddle together along the
walls. This is death himself, and
should he touch any of those pres
ent with the bone that unfOrtun
ATE person would die before the
next Christmas.
AS a general thing, however, the
man impersona ting death is kind
hearted, and manages to trip and
fall before he reaches any of the
spectators. Instantly the pre-
siding genius springs to her table,
begins a vigorous tattoo of tri
umph and the entire COMPANY
breaks into a wild halleluiaE |
chorus.

LIKE IMITATION JEWELRY.
Even Wealthy Women Affected by
the Present Craze for 1t, De-

"Never have known such a
craze for imitation jewelry as
now" was the remark of the man.
ager of one of the big department
stores, and it only needs a glance
to see that in a store where the
crowds are greatest the imitation
jewelry lies.
"We can't supply the demand,'
went on the manager, land know
it is the case not alone with us, but
even more so with those firms
who make speciality of selling it
alone"
Jewellers who have for years
been in the business have told me
that their trade has suffered great.
ly from this cause. Such art and
skill have entered into it's man
ufacture that in many cases it
can't be told from the real, and
very frequently women who can af-
ford better things purchase the
cheaper sort when some article is
seen to be but passing fad. That
many of the wealthy women in So
ciety have duplicates of their
handsome jewelry we all know"

Congressman Martin spoke at
the banquet given in st. Paul last
Monday, by the Lincoln club, the
celebration being given in honor Of
the martyred president whose name
the club bears. The subject OF
Mr.. Martins address was "rhe
People and the Trusts" and as Mr..
Martin is the author Of bill now
before congress for the regulation
Of trusts his talk was of unusual
interest. In classifying the evils
of the trusts Mr.. Martin placed
them under three he ads:
irst-Over- Capitalization.
Second-The tendency to mo-
nopoly.
Third-Destruction Of iniivid-
ual opportunity and success.
The remedy lie also classified d
under three heads:
First Publicity.
Second-Free competition.
Third-Federal inspection and
regulation.
Publicity he believes would pre-
vent over capitalization, as invest
ors would be slow to invest their
money in stocks that possessed no
intrinsic value. He said law
should be passed requiring every
corporation engaged in interstate
commerce, and especially corpora
tons handling the necessaries of
life, as food and fuel, to first OBJ
tain a franchise or license from
the national government as q ba-
Sis of its right to participate in in
terstate commerce at all. Such
franchise could be obtained from
the secretary of commerce after
satisfactory showing that the cor
poratlOn is not a binatiOn in
restraint Of trade, that it is hon
estly capitalized, aud that it is not
its purpose to create or maintain a
monopoly in violation OF law. A
subsequent violation of the law
should be cause for revocation of
the license or franchise.

Startling But True.

People the world over were hor-
rihed on learning of the burning Of
a Chicago theater in which nearly
six hundred people lost their lives,
yet more than five times this num-
ber or over 5000 people died from
pneumonia in Chicago during the
same year, with scarcely a passing
notice. Every one of these cases
of pneumonia resulted from a cold
and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to fear pneu-
monia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The
following is an instance of this
sort: "Too much cannot be said
in favor of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and especially for colds
and Influenza. I know that it cur
ed my daughter, Laura, of a severe

Tie Hepburn railroad rate bill,
which is understood to meet the
desires Of the president, passed the
house last Thursday with Only sew
en- dissenting votes. This bill is
practically tue same as the Dulii-
yer bill now before the senate, but
with the strong opposition iu that
body it is very likely that some
amendments will be made before
it is passed which may weaken it
if it does not destroy its usefulp ess
altogether. The Hepburn bill is
not a drastic measure, but it con-
tains the one feature which is con-
sidered essential by those who fa,
vor government control of the rail
roads, 1T empowers the interstate
commerce commission, when COM
plant is made that rate is un-
just or unreasonable, to fix max
imum rate, which substitute rate
shall become operative thirty days
after it is announced by the COM
mission. Under the present law
there seems to be no authority
vested in any governmental body
to fix rates or change those made
by the railroad companies. The
courts may declare an existing rate
to be unjust and order it changed,
but being purely judicial in their
powers they can not name a sub
stitute rate. While the Hepburn
bill is not opposed by the railroad
companies because Of any fear that
its operation would greatly injure
their business, they see in it rec
ognition of the principle that the
government has right to fix rates
and this principle they are deter.
| mined to oppose.
