Ionorant Neqroes Fear Witchcraft.

Mount Pleasant, July 2l.-A few
days ago, Ike Farrier, a negro, living
in the eastern part OF town, became
peculiarly affected, ard his hair turn
ed perfectly white in period of TWEEN
ty-four hours. He appears to be in
his right mind, but has lost the power
of controlling his movements and has
to be constantly in charge of an at
tendant.
The case is a complete puzzle, and
his condition has excited considerable
curiosity among the whites and feel
ing of dread and apprehension anon
the negroes, who believe he has been
bewitched in some way. Many of the
negroes are afraid to 80 about the
premises where he lives for fear that
they may become similarly affected.

LEcArzA PLEAsEs AUDIENCE.

The appearance of Professor Lecatza.
Greek tragedian from the kings ORA
matte college Of Athens. at the Salt
Lake theatre, last night, attracted a
large audience of his ceuntrymen The
entire Greek colony seemed to have
moved over to the theatre to give a fit
ting welcome to the professor and to
see the first dramatic performance Civ
en- in their own language in this city,
IL was an unique affair in that it gave
opportunity to the Greek residents of
the city to hear g varied program
especially designed for their entertain
ment, and to others of the audience to
witness the presentation of some of the
We'll known English classics in a for
elgn tongue.
With the exception of VIC numbers,
the entire program was in Greek.
These two were a recitation of Ten
nyson's poem, Dora" by Professor
Lecatza, ana the presentation of part
OF the third act OF Hamlet The pro-
fessor's accent is extremely foreign,
but the grace and dramatic interpre-
tation he gave to the poets words
made the recitation a favorite num-
Der Of the program The scenes from
Hamlet included the great speech,
To Be or Not TO Be" and Get Thee
TO Nunnery." From the standpoint
OF an exuberant and excitable people,
he portrayal Of Hamlet was undoubt-
erdly fitting one, though it was for
etgn to the ideals Of the American
stage. Miss Vivian Tolhurst, a stu
dent Of the University of Yah, gave
a sweet and plaintive picture of Ophe-
la In the sad scene of this act.
As Richelieu, Professor Lecatza gave
proof Of his right to be called the great
Greek tragedian. He presented the sec
ond scene of the first act, and in ap-
pearance, in his poses and manner he
recalled the work Of some American &C
tors. The audience particularly liked this
number and frequent bursts Of applause
indicated the pleasure It gave. The lines
were spoken In Greek, as were also those
of 1.-THE Merchant of Venice" which was
given by the professor and company.
The only number in lighter vein was
an original Greek comedy with which the
evenings entertainment closed 1t was
extremely humorous in spirit and the alb
surd situations were highly appreciated.
In every respect the program was
success in its attempt to give an even
ing of high class drama for the benefit
of the Greek residents of the city.
