pm where did voodooism

From where did voodooism
come?
1t was formerly thought that VOC
dooism came from west Africa to the
West Indies and southern United
States, but later research indicates
that there are no recognized beliefs
and ceremonials which could be re-
gerded as a voodoo religion. but this
term is4 merely applied to various
magical practices which have been
common the world over.

What is the status of the Bag
dad Railway?

1t is exceedingly complicated. a
firm of English capitalists has &C
quired one-third of the shares Of this
railway. which shares formerly be-
longed to German interests. The con-
cessions in Asia Minor thus obtained
conflict with the Chester concessions
recently given to the American by
the Turkish government. and the
situation is even more complicated
by reason of the fact that certain
French interests question the va
Iidity of the shares acquired by the
British interests, and a conferences
has been called in London to deter@
mine what participation shall bs
given French and Italian interests.
Meanwhile the road is operated when
possible. Part is under French con-
troll, part under British, and other
parts have been torn up by raiding

HOLE-|N-WALL
WORK DELAYED
South Amboy City Sewer
Pipes in Way of Progress
Action Tonight

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 27.-Work
on the ~excavating of the roadway
south of the Hole in the Wall has
been at a standstill for several days
now due to the fact that the sewer
pipes of the city are in the path OF
the steam shovel and must be taken
care of before further work can be
done. The council it is understood
will discuss this matter at their
meeting tonight.
People interested in the compile
ton of this work are at q loss to I'M
derstand the city authorities on the
whole matter. Those Interested
seem to feel that the city has in no
way encouraged the work and IN
stead of being an asset have proved.
to be a stumbling block to the whole
program. Why the pipe ques-
ton was not settled long before TINS
no one attempts to understand, AT
any rate the people in the vicinity
of Mechanicsville know the work Is
being delayed unnecessarily and IN
all probability will send a large dele
cation to meet the council tonight at
their session.
The work of placing the huge ce-
ment slabs over the Hole in the wall
is about half completed. This work
is also being delayed at this time.
The reason it is understood is be-
cause arrangements to switch train
traffic to the already completed half
are being made at this time.
AS the slabs are laid they are being
water PROCEED.
Bridge street from Ridgeway ave-
nue. to the state road is o. complet-
ed and traffic will be allowed be-
ginning Thursday it was announced.
The work of paving Ridgeway ave
nue. will commence as soon as the
proper grade is given the contrac-
tors.
The storm sewer on Ridgeway ave-
nue. is completed with the exception
of placing the manholes, and setting
the catch basins.
