vooDoo SIGN CAUSED SUICIDE
SperSOu Test Applied Man Accused Of Murder Drives Him Death
Red Stain on the Weapon Mistaken For Blood Really Rust

Monticello, Ark. - Suspicion of
murder having been confirmed against
him in the eyes of his neighbors by a
voodoo test, Louis Hursh, farmer,
cut his throat and died in the pres
ence of the Coroner's jury.
Samuel Haywood was the man
whose murder was under investiga-
ton. He was called to his front door
at night and killed with charge of
buckshot. His wife had but fleet
ing glance at the assassin and could
give no clew to his identity.
Hursh was questioned about the
crime at the inquest, but protested
that he had no knowledge of it. Mem
bers of the family swore that he was
at home when the shot was fred, and
Hursh apparently had been elimin-
ated from the list of suspects when
one of the jurymen, an aged negro,
spoke up.

urged the negro
Whats that?" inquired the Coro-
ner.
Get Hursh's gun and fire it off
again while he is standing by. If he
did the murder the gun will sweat
blood"
The Coroner was disinclined to
take this step. but others urged it on
him and he finally consented. Hursh
declared that it was matter of in
difference to him whether the test

Yet Tsi-An played valuable part.
1t almost seems she saved the nation
in 1898, when by coup d'etat the
young Emperor tried to crowd on
China in twenty days changes which
the nation would have needed as
many years to digest.
yet, the Emperor being highly
appreciated by the party of reform
and progress, her seizure of the reins
of Government and suppression of
new ideas cast a gloom over the spirit
of the empire. And little as we know
the new characters on the Chinese
stage, it is fair to believe that both
emes-conservat and progress
sive-will hold themselves in check,
and will wait to see where the Gov
eminent is tending. All depends on
events; it is impossible to state what
will happen; one can only speak of
probabilities.
But the tendency, whether calm
or violent, will, feel sure, be toward
liberalism. These two deaths have
cleared the course for China. There
is much talk of antagonism toward
Manchu rule, yet that antagonism Is
thing of recent years; it has been
greatly heightened by the relations
between the Emperor and his aunt,
the Dowager. 1 believe now that that
antagonism will calm down for the
time, and will, if the new Govern
ment gives satisfaction, die out.
fThe talk is of a Constitutional
Government. I think, and have al
ways thought, the Chinese we'll fitted
for it. They have always appeared to
me to be born parliamentarians Ger
tainly they are as well fitted for lib
eral institutions as any Oriental ma
tion-better fitted than the Turks or
Persians, as well fitted, think, as
the Japanese. But believe they will
model their Government on the Jap
anese Government, and that the
stages of their progress generally will
be peaceful.
1.-THE present Government has a
strong liberal party behind it, and the
radicals are too much in the minority
now to do any harm. So many strong
men, both liberal and radical, are
with the Government that l do not
foresee serious outbreak"

was applied or not He told where
his gun would be found, and it was
brought into court.
The Coroner and jury adjourned to
the woods near by, and the gun was
loaded and discharged. Hursh stood
by, apparently careless of the results
Following the firing of the gun the
1urymen crowded around it to exam
Inc it for the sign. A murmur arose
among them, and the suspense was
more than the prisoner could bear.
He turned to the gun to examine it.
and the man who had suggested the
voodoo test pointed to a red stain
near the muzzle of the weapon. Hursh
became agitated and seemed on the
point OF making dash for liberty
when he was seized by deputy.
Without further investigation the
party filed back into the court room,
where in few moments the Jury
held Hursh responsible for the kill
ing, and Coroner Lewis signed the
commitment.
When the prisoner saw that he was
to be sent to jail on the strength OF
the voodoo test he took sharp knife
from his pocket and with one stroke
ended his life.
Subsequently more careful examin-
alton of the red stain on the muzzle
Of the gun was made and beyond any
doubt it was established to be moth
ing but rust.

LATE EVENTS MEAN A MODERN CHINA
Prof. Eirth Calls Chinese Born ,ParIiannen-
tarianS--PrediCts Progress.


New York City-Friedrich Hirth,
Professor of Chinese in Columbia
University, who as a lifelong student
of the Chinese people, their language
and literature, is considered one of
the best authorities living on Chinese
topics, gave it as his opinion that the
death of the Empress Dowager and
the Emperor meant the opening of
an entirely new and better era which
would benefit not only China but the
other nations of the world. He
thought affairs in China would from
now on advance rapidly toward Euro
pean ideals, and though progress will
be less rapid than in Japan, China
would in thirty or even twenty years
be transformed into nation on an
equal footing with the other great
nations of the world.
Professor Hirth had no belief in
the report that foul play had entered
into the death of the Dowager or the
Emperor. In regard to the general
attitude of the influential parties and
individuals toward the new rule, he
said:
81 think the events of the next few
weeks or days will determine the
Qu0SllOu OI DlOOuSuSu OF peace.
think that both Liberals and Conser-
vatives are ready to wait quietly in
order to see what course the Govern
ment will take. Prince Chun is a
Liberal and he has enough followers,
l think, among the really dangerous
party, the overardent Liberals, who
might be called the Anarchistic party,
to avert any trouble from them.
prince Chun, believe, is an able
man. He has visited Germany on a
diplomatic mission. He alone of those
who have come into great power in
China has seen Europe; that single
fact should be enough to show in
what direction his rule will tend"
Speaking in general way of the
death of Emperor and Dowager he
said:
1T appears to me very beneficial
thing for China. The antagonistic
relations between the two and the
control by the Dowager of the En-
peror reused great dissatisfaction
among the Liberals, who had rested
their hopes on the Emperor.
