that no one will have cause to criticse
him this time. 'I'll be right and will

to O'Rourke.

words of Rose de Martial, whose story
has been sung 10y the poets OF Tou-

house of Martial, to whom the castle
belonged, and she was courted by the
lord OF Castelnat, whose manor she
could see from her window But. al.

WITCHCRAFT ENTHRALLS
PHILIPPINE ISLANDERS.
Tender Portion of Victims Appears to
Be the Neck.

That firm belief in witchcraft per
sists in some parts of Pampanga prov
ince is the purport Of a communica-
ton received in Manila from an inves.
tigator who has investigated the
claims of Filipinos that they were be-
ing afflicted with various bodily ills
by persons who are called Magcalums.
While the educated inhabitants scorn
at the belief, 1t was found to be wide
spread throughout the towns as well
as in the agricultural sections far from
large centers of population. Extracts
from the communication follow:
1.-THE belief is an old one. probably
coeXistent with the tribes. 1t is not
confined to one or two towns, but ex-
lists to greater or less degree in all,
though the idea probably Is having Il
greater hold upon the people Of Lubao.
Macabebe and Masantol than any of
the other municipalities.
"The belief is that person who has
this power can create illness in anoth-
er, provided the other is believer in
Magcalums. A careful and extended
search has failed to produce single
Pampangan who impressed the inves.
tigator as being entirely free from the
idea that people might have this pow
er. Many laugh at the mention of such
a power and in a general way say that
they do not consider 1t possible, yet
references to specific cases will usual
ly elicit the fact that they can ascribe
no other cause to certain effects.

Sometimes the infection is related

which the customer found out to be

Another account Is of n Magcalum

to burn holes in her face. The in
struments made no impression upon
her. but the marks of burns appeared

MANY AFTER THIS TITLE NOW.
Death of Stanley ketchel is Bringing
Forth Several Aspirants.

FOTtn several ASpITdntS'
New York. Oct. 25. - The death of
Stanley Ketchel doubtless will be the
means of stirring up the middleweight
division in pugilism. There are quite
a number of middleweights in the
country. Some are fairly good, others
are not quite so good and still another
good sized bunch that might be class
ed as punk" But that will make no
difference All may be expected to
rush forth with their claims for the IT,
tie held by the late champion. But
before anything definite is reached,
quite a process of elimination will
have to be gone through with in Or
der to find the right man. The mid
dleweight division at the present time
is in rather muddled condition. Bill
ly Papke and Jack Twin" Sullivan ap-
pear to have the best claim to the
title. Both can do the weight, and
no doubt will rush their claims for all
they are worth
Papke is at present in Australia
and is said to be under contract to
Hugh Mcintosh to engage in a certain
number of battles in that country. If
ne is lucky enough to get back home
without being defeated, he will no
doubt insist on standing at the head
of the line.
Papke fought Ketchel four times
for the title and won it decisively in
twelve rounds at Los Angeles two
years ago. Moreover, he should have
scored a victory in their last battle
had he not shown the canary. Billy
Roche who refereed the battle, has
since stated that Ketchel's victory on
that occasion was due entirely to the
fact that Papke quit. 1t was a twenty
round AFFAIR and during the nineteenth
and twentieth rounds Ketchel was un-
able to raise his hands. and yet all
Papke attempted to do was to clinch
and hold on.
Had Papke mustered up sufficient
courage to deliver any sort of blow
with either hand, in either of the last
two rounds" said Referee Roche,
there is not the least doubt in my
mind but that he would have scored
a knockout, as Ketchel was absolute
ly helpless"
But, of course, this is all ancient his
tory. The question now arises; "Who
is to be the rightful successor to Ket-
chel?"
The lightweight division is almost
in similar predicament to that of
the heavier class. OF course, the pres
ent title holder is not dead, as is the
case with the middleweight champion,
but he might as well be, according 70
reports, for all he will ever do again
in the ring. Wolgast's arm is report
ed to be in such a disabled condition
