make report on oath TO We truth thereof TO
We court, and further IL Is ordered that
som women be requested 10 smut ana
serch her before she goes into ye water,
that She carry nothing about her to cause
further suspicion.
on the afternoon Of July 10, 1905, the
court and county officers and populace
assembled on John Harpers plantation,
and the arrangements being completed.
Grace Sherwood was carried out TO a
nearby inlet Of Lynnhayen Bay. The offic-
ial court reporter tells quantity the rest
Of the story:
whereas on complaint OF Luke Hin in
behalf Of her Majesty, that now Is against
Grace Sherwood for a person suspected
Of witchcraft, & having had sundrey evil
dences sworn against her, proving NANNY
any excuse or little or nothing 20 say
In her own behalf, only seeming toe rely
on what ye court should do and there
upOnz consented TO be tried in ye water,
q likewise 10 be serched againe with eX-
PERMITS; being tried, and she swimming
VIXEN therein 4 bound, contrary 70 custom
and ye Judgements Of all .ye spectators.
q afterwards being serched by five antient
women who have all declared on oath
that she Is not like them; all which ceTcum-
stances ye court Weighing In their con-

tryall there.
The woman was finally turned free, and
thus ended the last legal prosecution for
Wl;chcraft In the colony.

Blue Laws of Old Virginia

CONTINUED from Page One)
for the second offense 500 pounds, and II
he be unable to pay, then levy for the fine
shall be made upon the goods OF any other
separatist or Quaker then In the commu-
nifty. For the third offense the offender
shall be banished from the colony OF Nir-
ginia.
This having put the lid on the disciples
Of George Fox and other undeslrables, the
lawmakers proceeded in 1868 to arrange
for a proper spirit OF humility in the
colony.
The 9th Of August is hereby appointed
for a day OF humiliation, fasting
and prayer to implore Gods mercy II any
person be found upon that day gaming,
drinking or working, upon presentment by
the church wardens, and proof, he shall
be fined 100 pounds Of tobacco, half to the
informer and half to the poor Of the parish.
Evidently a little thing like a couple Of
years in seryitude did not deter the lovers
Of pork chops from appropriating their
neighbor's swine. for In 1919 the assembly
delivered themselves Of the following act;
The first offence Of hog stealing shall
be punished according to the former law,
upon a second offence the offender shall
shall lose MS ears. and Tor the third
offence shall be tried by the laws OF Eng
land as I'm case Of felony.
AS the English law Of the period usually
prescribed hanging for a twice convicted
felon, il Is presumed that the third dose
Of justice proved an efficient remedy.
For the benefit Of those who may think
the Yirglnians were very c>feless with
their tobacco in these early days, 1t might
be well 10 say that from 1915 until the
latter part OF the seventeenth century the
legal tender Of the Virginian colony was
tobacco, and a ,aw enacted In 1888 making
English money the STANDARD Of exchange
proved so unpopular and created so much
confusion between the planters and the
merchants that It was repealed in l6ll and
tobacco again assumed its place as
tandard currency.
Not only In the strngency Of their laws
did the gay cavaliers Of the Old Dominion
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-28

run neck and neck with the grim visaged
gentry Of Plymouth Rock, but the doubtful
honor Of being the last to r%elinquish the
gentle art Of witchcraft persecution prob
ably belongs to them as well.
The witchbaiters around Salem and
throughout New England generally ceased
to a considerable extent their punishment
for alleged witchcraft before the eighteenth
century, but the Nirginian records show
the arrest and persecution Of Grace Sher-
wood OF Princess Anne county for witch
craft in 17O6.
For six months this young woman was
in Imprisoned, being brought time and again
before the court in an effort to convict her,
Finding no evidence I'm her actions to jus
sify the persecution, the attorney general
caused the sheriff OF the county TO i'm
panel a Jury of women to examine Grace
Sherwood physically and instructed them
TO find something TO indicate that she vas
a witch. This the women failed 10 do ana
they were threatened with contempt OF
court for their failure.
Everything else having failed. il was de-
cided TO put Miss Sherwood to the water
test. which consisted in tying her hands
and feet and throwing her overheard in
the nearest lake or river. II she sank she
was innocent. but II by her struggles she
managed TO keep afloat for a few moments,
she was guilty Of witchcraft.
The full account Of this trial is pre-
served by the Virginia Historical society
and the last two court orders in the case
are OF interest as marking the close Of
withcraft persecution in the colonies.
Whereas Grace Sherwood, being sus-
pected OF witchcfaft, have a long time
waited for a tit opportunity for a further
examination, a. by her consent & apprO-
bacon Of ye court, II is ordered that ye
sheriff take all such convenient assistance
OF boats and men and shall be by him

Hongkong, has had a similar experieace.
These three Chinese will rank as busl-
ness men with the managers Of the steel
works OF the United States. Each speaks
English as fluently as any reader Of this
newspaper, and understands our books on
steel-maklng.
l had letters Of introduction to the
managers from Mr.. William Martin. our
consul at Hankow, and in the absence Of
Mr.. Lee, my card was taken in to Mr..
Tsang.. Dressed in a black cap. a long
silk gown and heavy cloth boots, l found
him debating directions to a stenographer.
He looked like a classical Chinese pro-
lessor, and l was greeted in English.
After a chat Of a few minutes he took
me over to the technical director, Mr..
Eugene Ruppert~ and asked him to show
me through the establishment. As he did
so a Chinese brought in an important
letter in French and Mr.. Tsang and Mr..
Rupert, discussed this in the French lam
guage, as though they were both born
Brenchmen. / doubt not Tsang can speak
German as well, and that, although he
has never been outside Of tho empire.

with the technical director. Mr.. Rupert
has been here for seventeen years. He
started In at the beginning with Chang Chi
Tung, and is still one Of the chief ad-
yisers and directors OF the establishment.
l shall not attempt to describe the blast
furnaces. the rolling mills and the foun-
dries. They are just like those Of Pitts
burg, Cleveland, Chicago and other steel
making cities. They have the finest ma
chinery, and they throw their old ma
chimes on the scrap heap when they be-
come worn out or antedated. For instance,
at the start, a costly Bessemcr plant was
put in, and most Of the smelling was done
by that process. Then 1t was discovered
that there was too much sulphur In the
coal to get good results and Siemens-Mar-
tin furnaces have been installed.
The steel now produced is said to be
among the best Of the world. l saw many
tests which proved it's excellence. These
tests were performed with cold steel. one
was on the little iron fish-plates which
fasten the steel rails together as they lie
on the ties. These plates are a half-inch
thick, three inches wide and a foot or more
long. They were put in a machine by
which they were doubled up as though they
were India rubber, and that without the
sign OF q crack. This was done with the
cold iron. I saw cold railroad spikes
twisted around and around until they
looked Ike ropes, and sections Of cold steel
rails weighing ninety pounds to the yard
twisted into gigantic corkscrews without
u crack or break anywhere showing. ]

five feet long beside myself and a Chimes

All these works are owned and run by
Chinese. OF the 10000 employees in the
steel plant and mines, there are only
twenty Europeans, and they are merely as
foremen and advisory directors. As / have
said, the works were originated by Chang
Chi Tung, and that as a government enter
prise. That famous viceroy had memoir
iallzed the throne that It should not be de-
pendent upon foreigners, but should build
it's own railroads and make its own rails.
The late emperor, Kwang-su, and the great
dowager consented to this and directed
Chang Chi Tung to go ahead and carry
out his ideas. He did so, but It was at a
great expense and enormous loss. He sank
millions. and was up to his eyes In debt
when the works were turned over TO Sheng
Kung Pao, ChinR's multi-millionaire Sheng
bought them Of the government. and. al
though he has nominally given them over
10 a stock ompan with a capital of sl5.-

owner.

the several hundred acres of swamp until
he had raised the whole area fourteen feet.
In this work the dirt and other materials
were carried in by coolies in little shovel
like baskets slung TO the ends Of poles on
their shoulders. Basket by basket they laid
the foundation, and now no one would inn
agine that the ground had ever been any
thing but solid. 1t is covered with great
factories and ~foundries. and there are
smokestacks 100 feet high rising upon II.
Indeed, Han Yang reminds me Of Pitts
burg. Its mighty chimneys, vomiting
smoke, stand out against the sky, and its
huge foundries and blast furnaces can be
seen for miles up and down the Yangtse
river. Altogether the works cover about io
acres, and, including the mines which sup
ply them. they employ a force Of 10000
hands. There are about 1900 hands in the
steel plant itself, and several thousand
more in an armory and %gunworks making
rifles, artillery and small arms connected
with It. Then Han Yang has a smokeless
powder factory, a large electric works and
a military academy which has 1000 stu
dents. II takes about three hours steady
walking TO go through the various estab-
lishments.
