"coctor" Not Only Allowed Infants Perish.

Reading, Pa.-Coroner Strasser is
busy procuring evidence in the cases
Of six infants, all of whom died within
twenty-four hours. 1t is charged by
the Coroner that all six of the chill
dren we're treated by witch doctors, !"
but that the only thing they were
suffering from was summer COM
plant. Coroner Strasser has reported
the matter to the District Attorney.
Reading has many witch doctors"
and there have been cases in court
time and again of persons who de-
clared that neighbors "verhexed"
them.
No sooner does child become i'll
In this section than the neighbors
rush in and declare the child is "ver-
hexed," and witch DOCTOR" with
his nominations, is sought out.
In the cases OF the children that
died while undergoing this treatment
several we're simply treated by chant
ing mystic words while red cotton
cord was passed over the body. In
other cases bag containing charmed
words was hung about the neck. The
Coroner said:

what is more. these women de-
scribe the hex to the parents, and
this is the cause of manyof the neigh
borhood feuds that are aired in court.
The parents of these children in
nearly every case imagined that their
offspring were suffering from witch
craft, and they Immediately hustled
them off to hexerai doctor. 1t is
about time that the authorities inves-
tigate the illegal practice that has
existed SO long in Reading and Berks
County, and which is the fundamental
reason for the many deaths.
Parents are entirely too super
stitious. In many cases they believe
that their children have a spell cast
over them and instead of consulting
a regular physician go to hexerai
doctor and procure either a hoodoo
or charm to drive away the evil.
"This charm or bag is worn on Ger.
tain parts of the child's body and is
kept there for certain length OF
time, Certain passages of the Bible
are repeated daily by one of the fam.
lily to break the 'hoodoo, and the
powwow doctor calls daily and goes
through funny stunts in an effort to
chase out the imaginary spirits"

Paris.-The French mind being
pre-eminently logical it is difficult to
believe that it will not demand a
change in the method of carrying out
execution, The law demands that
they be publicly performed in public
place. In practice no member Of the
public, strictly speaking, saw any
thing of the execution of Duchemin,
the only eyewitnesses being $50 jour-
nalists, dozen mounted gendarmes
and twenty policemen. #
The difficulty in finding place for
the guillotine since the Roquette
prison was pulled down has always
been proffered as an excuse for the
practical abolition of capital punish
ment which Paris has enjoyed or suf-
Tered for the last ten years. That this
difficulty does not exist was shown
when the guillotine was erected at the
middle of the 500 yard wall Of the
Prison de la Sante. a niH
1t stood in the centre of four chest
nut trees belonging to the double line
of trees that border the Boulevard
Arago. Opposite this wall are the
grounds of a huge unoccupied con-
vent, so that nothing overlooked the
spot. The only drawback was that
there is no door to the prison on this
side. Therefore the condemned man.
leaving by door on Sante street at
right angles to the Boulevard Arago,
was driven some seventy yards. along
this street and then $50 yards to the
place of death. Some 1900 troops
were on duty, barring every road
around the prison. Double and some
times triple cordons both on foot and
on horseback fifty yards apart made
1t an assurance that nobody could APP
proach except those possessing po-
lice pass.
At about 3.45 Deibler's men began
erecting the guillotine. Silently
without the sound of a hammer, with
out a spoken word of command being
given, it was put together by the light
of a candle Pickering in an old time
lantern, and this was used even when
Deibler wished to test the machine
with spirit level Everything was
exact. In an hours time one of the
executioner's assistants blew out the
candle. All was ready The knife
was run up to the top of the frame,
but no test drop was made, SO conf
dent was Deibler in his men and the
