After allowing the Cubs to maui

The sorrow of B. Dreyfus, owner of

Cubs was more than outweighed by
the joy he experienced in pocketing

NEW ENGLAND WITCHES.
A Small Record Compared With That
Of Other Countries.

Yankees have so long and so loudly
confessed their ancestral sins that the
facts in the case are little known. So
much is said about Salem that the exc
cution OF witches In Pennsylvania is
overlooked. The scant score of persons
hanged for witchcraft in New England
causes more comment than the many
thousands legally burned for that
crime in Europe.
In all New England. according to
Nathaniel Ha awthorne. nineteen per-
sons were executed as witches. One
more was accused of the crime and
for refusal to plead was pressed to
death. after the custom OF the day.
The facts concerning the widespread
belief In witchcraft and the enormous
number OF witches killed may be
found in any encyclopedia. Haydn's
Dictionary of Dates says: more
than 100000 perished, mostly by the
flames, in Germany" Chambers En-
cyclopedia says: I'm England and Scot
land the witch mania was somewhat
later In setting In than on the conti-
neut. but when Ii did so 1t was little
IL at all less virulent. the reformation
Notwithstanding" 'The number OF
victims in Scotland from first 10 last
has been estimated at upward of
1000" DIR. Sprenger in his Life OF
Mohammed" computes the entire num-
ber of persons who have been burned
as witches during the Christian epoch
at 1900, 600.
Witchcraft prosecutions in New Eng
land took place in 1892. They were all
done in six months. In England they
continued till well into the next CEN
tury. In 1863 a reputed wizard was
drowned in a pond at Hedingham. in
Essex. Says Chambers. 1T was con-
sidered worthy OF notice that nearly
all the sixty or seventy persons con-
! cerned in the outrage were of the small

| turaI laborers being mixed up in the

IS IT UNLAWFUL
Alleged Former HagerstoWn
SaIoonist Stores Away
Old Wares.
MAY BE INVESTIGATED.

Can quantity of liquor be stored in
a room unless license is held? The
question is one receiving consideration
at Hagerstown just at present. The
three saloons at this place have been
forced to suspend business and last
week closed their doors to the trade.
Great quantities Of wet goods were dis
posed of at a sacrifice in order that
the dealers might not have to get rid
of their supply through confiscation.
One dealer retained a portion of the
supply he had on hand as he did not
wish to make too great sacrifice.
This part of the supply is said to be
composed Of whisky and fine wines.
1t is the intention of this ex-saloon
keeper to open a billiard and pool
room in the room formerly occupied
for saloon purposes. 1t is claimed the
excess liquors are stored in the room
above. Some of the temperance ad-
vocates and workers in behalf of the
remOnstrance that freed Hagerstown
of saloons doubt the legal right of the
owner to store his goods. 1t is be.
lieved a section of the blind tiger"
law is violated by so doing.
The attention of Prosecutor Jessup
was directed to the condition at Ha-
gerstown and he probably will insti
tute an investigation. He said he
had heard nothing of the case Not
being acquainted thoroughly with all
the facts he was not in a position to
make a statement.

The premature decay of human vi

which feeds our poor houses. our in

T. Ware, yesterday, when speaking 10
a crowd of over five hundred people
assembled on the lawn of the East

the largest crowd ever attending one
{ these. open air meetings which the
Rev. Ware has been conducting. Yes.
terday he spoke on the subject OF
"Childrens Rights" 1t was an address
full of human interest and greatly
pleased his auditors, who were drawn
from every class of life.
The Rev. Ware took an optimistic
view of the child labor question. He
pointed out its evils and TO the great
extent the abuse had grown in this
country, but said that society was al
last beginning to realize the danger OF
child labor and that in a short time
it would be thing of the past.
Children have a right to unstained
inheritance and good example. They
also have a right to the joys of child
hood and to good education. They
lose these rights if children are com

His Bid, the Lowest for the

Frank Cronin of Richmond. was to-
day awarded the contract for the con-

board of Wayne county commission
ers. His bid was S14.996. Other
bidders were Henry Nolte, of Rich
mond: A. O. Bradway of Straughn's S

Decatur, Ind. The latter company's
bid was the highest, being in excess Of
$4,000. Mr.. Cronin filed with his
bid bond for $50 ,OOO and will enter
into a contract Immediately to carry
out the details of the plans and speci-
fications for the improvement in ques-
ton.
Bonds must be issued within the
next week or so and sold within the

Promises to Leave That
Quiet Town.
HIS CASE NOT DISMISSED

Upon his promise to close out his
saloon business and leave East Ger
mantown Frank Langdon has been
permitted to leave the county Jail. He
was not prosecuted on the charge of
violating the state liquor laws. His
case, which was set for trial this
morning, has not been dismissed, but
prosecution has been delayed pending
the fulfillment of his promise.
For the last few years Langdon has
hoed a rocky row. He has been in
volved with the authorities on more
than one occasion, but has managed to
pull through. After his arrest he
spent two weeks in Jail through inabil-
ity to obtain bail. The authorities
expect him to live up to his promises.
