Sense of HumOr Gave Tombstone, Arizona, It's Name

Tombstone, Ariz., April S.-A pros |pector's curious sense of humor was responsible for the naming of this Town which recently has gotten into |tne news dispatches because of the [here. According to James F. Duncan, who game here in 1879, the town was Elounded in that year by Ed Schieffe- [,in, mining prOspector. Schieffe- (iin called his mine near the site oi |tne present courthouse Tombstone |Mlne," Dundan said, because the re- |glon was full of drab rocks that re- |sembled tombstones.
 Tradition has it, however, thai FFsHchleffelin's friends frequently ral- ned him for his faith in the locali- |,.y, and told him that he would find ms tombstone here. After the pros |pector had made his fortune here, in good natured irony, he said to have named the town after the fate that nag been predicted for him.
 echleffelin was found dead in a |,,oe cabin in the state of Washington IMay l2, 1897. According to his wishes, his body was brought back Ito his Tombstone" and buried hnea, Ihere. His pick-ax and ot6er tools were buried with him. Above the
 grave his friends erected simple
 monument, fashioned after the rude
 manner of a prospector's claim
 stake--merely pile of unevenly
 shaped rocks.

|ERvES OF zULU'S WOMAN S0OTHED BY |L|ON HEART POWDER
trange Superstition is Held Highly by the Ma tiyeS

Nv lady in Zululand is not whisker- a off to seaside resort or Medi- krranean cruise to restore her shat Fred nerves, but she is witch doc bred with a prescription containing hese ingredients:
 The heart and eyes of lion; the ht and flesh of an elephant; the ide of a rhinoceros; the second lay of skin of hippopotamus; these Mixed with the barks of many kinds f trees and soaked in the blood of
 COW or sheep. This prescription is urned, made into a powder and talk n internally.
 These and many religious anti otes" of like nature have been nearthed by the Interchurch Eorld movement, which is making h economic, religious and social urvey of the world, in connection nth it's primary purpose, to pro- hote closer cooperation among the Protestant churches of America in he achieving of their common world asks.
 In this twentieth century, the urvey shows, there are approxi- nately 12O,O0O,0O0 people in Africa ed in abject fear through the hundreds of thousands of witch octors who alone are believed to ave the power of casting off and smelling out' the evil spirits. ! The theory of the African native Regarding disease is that an enemy hat casts a spell which enters the ody, and it must be either smelled hut or cast out, and this is accomp- ished by the use of charms or pre- criptions such as that given above which often kill before they have the ortunity of proving their curative lowers.
 The natives of South Africa, the burvey finds, depend entirely on witch doctors and herb doctors. For ,500,000 native people, there are bnly 23 European and American hissionary doctors and 19 nurses. cattered among the millions, this little band of workers accomplish vonders. But the sway of tho witch doctors is practically unaffect-
 Portuguese Africa, covering an lrea of 100000 square miles, and FltH OI oJOOU,OOO pCO- ble holds only three missionary Doctors.
 The Interchurch World movement n stating this problem, makes a gen. eral recommendation whereby the problem may be met through the CO., Operative effort of American protes- tant churches.
 It is no uncommon sight, ac7 Fording to the survey, to see the witch doctor, squatting in tho ehade of a banyan tree with his aead insects, snake skins, wild ami nal teeth and bits of bark spread before him, calling those who have Fallen beneath the spell of the evil eye to come and be cured.
 He is symbol of the pressing need of the African natives; the need for a great union medical col ege to train native do.:tors and nurses to minister to their own people with the powers of science Instead of superstition. He is sym pol, too, the survey points out, of the need for dispensaries and hos pltals, set up at strategic points all fhrough the land.
 Such steps, the survey recom- mends, the protestant churches of America must take, if the Africans ere to be delivered from their witch Electors.

How KOlchak Army of 8O,O00 Troops
 Vanished Away

New York, April 7.-How an army of 80,000 Kolchak troops "melted away" by desertion to the Bolshe- vlkl, following speech made to prisoners of war by Leon Trotzkv in Omsk. Siberia, two days after that city's evacuation by the All Russian forces, was told here to- day by Major General I. Thord- Gray, former officer of the Brit lsh, Canadian and All-Russan ar tok.
 Trotzky. he said, addressing the prisoners as "comrades," said they would be welcomed by the red ar my If they cared to join. Captive officers, he said, who wanted to re- turn to Kolchak would be given safe escort and 2,000 rubles eal,h. A number of the prisoners accepted the offer and, returning to their own lines, told what Trotzky had done. Within two weeks, General Thord Gray said, Kolchak had prac- tlcally no army and few months later was executed.
 General Thord- Gray went to Si- beria with a Canadian expedition and was taken prisoner by the Bol- shevik when they captured Vladi- vostok Before leaving, two attempts he said, were made to assassinate him.
 Towards the last, he said, the Bol- ahevik troops showed better morale than Kolchak's men. They also had one machine gun for every 20 men, he said, whereas the Kolchak army had only three with every battalion, almost 600 men. During the retreat of the Kolchak army, a 2,00O-mile re- tirement, they were driven before machine guns but seldom before rifle fire. General Sagharoff, the all- Russian war minister and chief of staff, he said, "lost the army at Omsk without a fight"
