ST. THOMAS PICKS UP
American Port Regains Former
Marine Standing.
improvements Slow During the War,
but Ships Are Now Calling
Regularly.

st. Thomas, Virgin Islands, This
American port is beginning to regain
some of its former maritime impor-
tance. Owing to the war, improve
mcnts, in this direction have been slow
since the Virgin islands were pur-
chased from Denmark, but now, after
considerable agitation by business men
OF st. Thomas, American steamers are
beginning to call here. This is the
result of representations which have
been made to Washington in behalf of
the inhabitants of the islands.
The islanders feel that American
steamship owners, and especially the
shipping board at Washington, have
heretofore overlooked the facilities of
the harhor of st. Thomas for provid-
ing coal, fuel oil, and other stores.
While few American steamers have
been calling at st. Thomas for sup
plies, many have called at the neigh
boring British islands, where facilities
ure not considered as good as here.
The price of coal is cheaper at St.
Thomas than at the British islands.
To bring this matter before the ship
ping board and to obtain all the help
possible from the American people and
congress, meeting Of the inhabitants
of the Virgin island was held here.
Resolutions were adopted calling the
attention of the shipping board to the
facilities of the port, ouch as pier
3,G20 feet long with thirty-one feet Of
water alongside and all up-to-date ap-
pllances for the quick dispatch of yes
sells wanting coal, water, fuel oil and
other stores.
The resolution was carried to Wash
ington by Darwin O. Curry, collector
OF customs, who laid 1t before the ship
ping board. Mr.. Curry has since re-
turned and reports that that board
members Of congress, and American
business men have promised to do all
they can for the island.
Another oil depot is being erected
here to meet increased demands. The
| people Of st. Thomas believe 1t pos
sesses far better facilities than most
other West India islands, and are de-
termined to make known its availabili
ty as port Of call for supplying
steamers.

tie where she was one of the four at

weeks taking private lessons from this
great Russian composer, master teach
er and concert pianist.

McCool and Miss Keen. Later, those
Joining we're Mrs. Green, Mrs. Patriee
asi Miss Giensch, some of whom had
had previous instruction in Europe.
Miss Keen considers her summer
we'll spent and this great opportunity
since she was the only person from
Eastern Oregon or Washington who
was fortunate in being able to re-
main during the entire course and en-
JOY the instructive lectures of the last
week. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
August 10th, says: "Godowsky is the
first concert artist to be booked ON
the other side Of The Atlantic, follow
ing the war;"
Mrs. Keen accompanied her daugh-
ter during her two months stay in Sc
atlte. Miss Keen studied expression
at the Cornish School of Expression

man Sacrifices by the
Worshipers.

Havana, Cuba.-With the recent sud-
den outbreak of cannibalistic practices
by voodoo worshipers, which have re-
suited in the deaths of at least three
Innocent children and half dozen Of
the voodoos, the latter by the applica-
tion of 'lynch" law for the first time
In this country's history, fathers and
mothers are living in constant fear
that their little ones may be spirited
away by the superstitious negroes to
be offered up in sacrifice to "Chango,"
the god of the "Brujos," as they are
called in the Castilian language.
The voodoos are divided into vari-
GUS sects, each with its separate god.
The latter include "Babagueye," god
Of sickness; "Elecua," god of injury;
"Olorruun" god Of misery, and
Change the terrible god. to whom
human sacrifices are made.
"Chango." according to the voodoo
belief, was the son of Olorruun and
Anaragun. He was slain by Elecua,
the "god Of injury" and ascended into
heaven from ceiba, or god tree, in
the month Of May. 1t is in the month
of May, therefore, that the 'Brujos'
observe their holy week, when Change
Is expected to make a weekly visit
to the earth, descending by the ceiba,
his sacred tree. always on Monday.
The followers Of Elecua do not d.
rectly offer human sacrifices, although
their healers sacrifice the lives Of some
patients by giving them poisonous con-
coctions, supposedly mysterious cure
for some ailment, in order to restore
to health some other patient. Elecua,
being the "god Of injury" his follow
ers believe that good can come to one
person only through injury to an
other.
voodooism is not practiced by the
negroes alone. Many white persons
also are said to secretly take part in
their religious meetings, and accusa-
tions have been heard in various quar-
ters Of the difficulties encountered by
officers seeking to break up their tenn
pies because of the obstacles placed in
their way by persons Of influence.
An active campaign by the authori-
ties in Havana and other parts Of
the island have resulted in the cap
ture of numerous "Brujos" and the
seizure of many curious and weird OBJ
jects used by them.
