Steps Led to Big Cave.

Edgefeld, June S.-Several days
ago negroes reported to Mr.. j. n.
Fair that they had seen several white
men digging an excavation on his
plantation near Trenton. Naturally
his curiosity was aroused and he
went to the spot to find quite hole
had been dug without any unusual
developments. The digging was con-
tinued and soon a complete staircase
was discovered which led to an un-
derground cave of considerable di-
mensions but entirely empty, al
though it was hoped and supposed
that the steps would lead to hidden
treasures. While quite mystery,
the matter was evidently the work OF
man. and the guess is that the work
was that of the Indians, this part OF
the country having been thickly popu-
lated by them. Many have gone to
see the cave.

An Incentive to Save.

A California man of 80 has been
left $4,000 by his uncle on condition
that he first earn and save $1,000 of
his own. Until the thousand is Sc
cured in the manner designated the
bequest will lie dormant.
One is inclined to commend the
Judgment of the uncle. If a young
man has not sufficient will power to
accumulate $1,000 he is not likely to
possess the wisdom necessary to han
die five times that amount handed
to him as gift.
The world is full of men whose
mental vision extends no further than
the next payday, who have no more
notion OF saving money than they
have of growing tail feathers. Their
acquaintance among pool room ha-
bitues is far more extensive than
among receiving tellers A weeks
idleness means a doubtful account at
their grocer's.
This young Californian will either
get his uncles bequest or he will not
deserve it. In either case the money
will not be wasted.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Witches in England.

Centuries have passed since witch
es" were executed in England, but IN
yery recent times they have suffered
physical harm. Doctor Jessopp knew
q Norfolk man who died in 1888, and
in the sixties had joined with his two
brothers in a night expedition to the
house of an old woman. They took
her out of bed, and, in the presence
of half q dozen other people, threw
her into a pond, where she would
infallibly have been drowned, but
that some who we're not so mad as
the rest cried out that she was SINK
ing to the bottom and must be saw
ed" The conclusive evidence against
her was that she kept black cat and
wore a black silk dress on Sundays.
In 1882 there was still alive, and
master in an elementary school, one
who, as a young man, had scratched
a "witch's'' arm till the blood poured
down, because she had Noverlooked
him, and only so could his health be
restored.
A trial for witchcraft and sorcery
occurred in England in 1881. This
was the trial of the Fletchers, who
were famous clairvoyants, crystal
gazers. and mesmerists-who gave
seances to which the whole fashion
able world flocked. They induced
Mrs. Hart Davis to give them jewelry
and lace to the value of 10000
pounds and when proceedings were
taken against them fed to America.
The husband managed to escape ar
rest, but Mrs. Fletcher was brought
back to England, indicted under the
old statute of witchcraft and sorcery'
and sentenced to II months 1mprls-
onment with hard labor.

Dictagraph Talk Altered.

Atlanta, Ca, June 11.-Another
sensation was sprung here today in
connection with the local political
fight involving Mayor James G. Wood
ward. certain members of the city
council and officials of the police de-
partment. The Atlanta Constitution
this morning published what pur-
ports to be an affidavit made by
George NJ. Gentry, the stenographer
who reported the conferences alleged
to have been held in hotel room
here recently, in which secret tele-
phonic device was said to have been
used against Mayor Woodward,
Thomas B. Fielder, a prominent local
attorney; C. C. Jones, proprietor OF a
near-beer saloon; G. c. February, Sec
retary to Chief of Detectives n. A.
Lanford and others.
Gentry disappeared several days
after the publication of the alleged
dictagraph records or the conlerenc-
es. E. O. Miles, an investigator, de-
clares he located Gentry in Wash
ington, D. c., and obtained from him
the affidavit which Miles turned over
to Mayor Woodward last night.
The alleged affidavit of Gentry de-
clares that his original transcription
of his notes of the conferences was
padded" and altered. The affidavit
further states that Gentry did not
hear Mayor woodward mention the
names of Chief of Police James l..
Beavers and Chief of Detectives Lam
ford, as shown in the published rec
ord of the conferences.

Graves of Early Egyptians.

London.-The graves of the early
Egyptians, the very earliest in the
prehistoric era of King Mena, 5000
years ago, were described by Prof.
Flinders Petrie.
They are curious things, consisting
in addition to the graves themselves
of small antechambers where gifts OF
pottery and alabaster vases were
lodged beside the bodies.
They resemble the foundations of
house as they might be laid down by
a modern child at play. First there
is an opening about eighteen inches
wide in the stacks marking the side
of the antechamber, which represents
the door through which the offerings
were brought. The antechamber and
grave are connected by two small
sits.
These graves, between 600 and 500
in all, are spread over mile of des-
ert near Tarkhan. The presence OF
so large a cemetery, Prof. Flinders
Petrie explained, shows that there
must have been large town here in
the pre-Menite period. This town
preceded the founding of Memphis
and the excavation of it's site will
show a stage in the conquest of the
land by the kings of Abydos. 1t is
therefore most valuable connecting
link by which Egyptologists can as
certain the culture, etc., of the peo-
pie in these pre-dynastic times.
The contents of the graves have
led to important discoveries. Sew
enty skulls have been secured in a
perfect state. One grave contained,
not a human skeleton, but the skele-
tons of three asses, presumably the
inseparable companions in life of
their owner and so were given a de-
cent burial. They are the most an
cient asses on record and their bones
have been carefully preserved. Other
tombs contained a pet goose and ga
zelle, both lying over the human
skeletons. These were offerings at
the grave.
Although 5000 years old, the
wooden coffins, which were made OF
blanks Of acacia and shittim wood,
are in a remarkable state Of preserva-
ton, although before being used as
coffins they formed part of the TIM
Der work in houses.
Il once kept one grave open III
order to show it to Psychologists,
said the professor, "and foud that
it's contents perished more in six
weeks than they had done in 5000
years.

VERY QUEER CASE.
Fathers Spirit Calls Two and One
of Them Dies.

The death dreams of Joseph h
Freedman and Max Freedman, broth
ers, of New Brunswick, n. j., fol-
lowed by the passing away of Max
were discussed with awe in that
city by many people for days.
Ten days ago Joseph dreamed viv-
idly that the spirit of his dead father
appeared and legged him to join him
in the grave. This dream neither he
his wife nor any other member of the
family told to Max, who was danger
ously i'll of kidney disease.
But his wife told Joseph's wife OF
a dream the sick man had had and
Mrs. Joseph Freedman was startled
nearly into Mysteries, for in every de-
tail it was the same ghastly dream
that had come to her husband the
week before.
Not merely did each man dream
of the spirit of the dead father call
ing him, but the words spoken by
the spirit were the same on both
occasions. Joseph Freedman is a
produce wholesaler at 131 Burner
street, New Brunswick, man not
given to superstition. Max was
equally practical.
One morning about ten days age
joseph came to the breakfast table
looking so pale his wife asked if nc
were i'll. He told her he was still
feeling the effects of a dream. A
gray, gauzy apparition had appeared
to him, had stretched out entreatins
hands and had said:
Come with me, Joe; Come and
we'll lie down together up there
under the grass, where we can sleeI
and not know or care what the strlv'
ing men are doing in the world
Learn with me the wonderful things
that have come to me since 1 have
passed to where knowledge really is.
Freedman said he told the appari'
ton that he did not want to die, as il
would be cruel for him to do so anc
leave his wife and children unpro
tected. When that plea was made the
ghost vanished.
Max Freedman became very i'll
few days later and Joseph and his
wife went to Max's home in Cedar
street. To the CONSERVATION of Mrs
joseph, Mrs. Max began weeping
violently and said:
1T is hopeless, Max is going to die!
That can only be the meaning OF the
dream he had two nights ago. He
saw his fathers ghost and the ole
man urged him to join him in the
grave"

A REMARKABLE PEOPLE.
New Guineans Shy of Natives and
White Men.

DR.. Bruno Beheim gives the fol-
lowing description of the mysterious
and little known race of the kukuhu-
hus, of New Guinea. The kuku-
huhus are in a part of English terri
tory through which runs river Luke
hamu and which is situated near the
German boundary. This territory is
looked upon by the said race as their
inalienable birthright, and every usur-
per is regarded with hostile eyes. No
European has been able to meet the
Kukuhuhus in their dwelling places.
Prosecutors and English officials
have. made repeated attempts to ap-
proach them, but their camps were
invariably found empty, often with
the campfires still burning.
Many time have Europeans lett
presents highly priced by other ma
tives, such as corrals, red cloth, look
ing glasses, axes, etc., in the desert
ed camps. in the hope of establishing
friendly relations with these people.
But on returning to the same places
few days or few weeks later, al
though the camp showed recent ira
ces of occupation, such as live clnders
and fresh footprints, the goods in
tended for presents remained un-
touched where they had been placed.
Other races of New Guinea fear the
Kukuhuhus as poison. They nave
learned to their cost what it means to
cross the boundary. Some disappear
for all time, while others are found
dead, thrust through with spear
wounds. The Kukuhuhus, however,
do a bartering trade with other ma
tiyes in the following way: The lat
ter bring salt, earthenware, dried
fish, etc., and deposit them in GER
tain indicated place They then re-
tire for few hours, being notlhed 10
do so by a curious cry from the dis
tance. The timid mountain dWellers
then descend to view the goods o1fer-
ed for sale. If they want them tney
put down other goods, such as SKINS
feathers and other jungle produce
next to those articles wanted by them.
Then they retire in turn, and When
the way seems clear the coast dwell
ers approach again. If the latter are
satisfied with what is offered IN ex-
change they take the goods put down
by the mountain people and go away;
if not satisfied they retire again as
before with empty hands. These
business transactions between wild
races show a sense of humor that re-
sembles careful thought.
Doctor Boheim regards the kuku-
huhus as the most remarkable of the
chronological wonders of New Guinea
and he was not successful in dlscoV-
eriug the secret of their origin.

J. H. Gosnell, a prominent resident of

How to Fight the House Fly.

Pyrethum powder burnt in house
stupefies a fly until you can sweep
him up and put him where he be-
longs. A little of this burnt in the
rooms in the morning-after which
the rooms should be aired-will
make the house exempt from flies all
day. Twenty drops of carbolic acid
dropped on a hot shovel or on any
piece of warm iron creates vapor
that lays flies low. The common
migonette plant grown in jars and
placed in a room makes things un-
pleasant for flies. A handy thing is
the white clover. 1t is strange, but
flies hate the odor of white clover.
Have little of this around in a vase,
and you will notice the flies have
business in the other direction. This
clover should be renewed every day
or so, for when it becomes dry it irri-
tates the nostrils. A cheap and ef-
fective poison not dangerous to hu-
man life is bichromate of potash in
solution. One drachm dissolved in
two ounces of sweetened water and
placed in shallow dishes will call the
long roll for any number of the pests.
Another remedy that for all purposes
has few equals is solution of forma-
lin, or formaldehyde in water. A
spoonful of this liquid in quarter OF
pint of water left exposed in a room
will make the flies scarce in a very
short time. Flies are sensitive to
light; keep the window curtains
drawn, all except one little slit, and
they. will gravitate toward it. Then
you can easily drive them outside
