considered one of the greatest crimes as much so as murder robbery or any other serious offense against the late and the belief In It was shared by the whole human rail until the latter part of the seven- teenth ¬ century- In England In 1664 two women were tried before Sir Matthew Hale charged with bewitching several girls and a baby and they were put to death for at that time the evidence seemed per- fectly ¬ rational In 1015 In Genoa 500 people were burned to death on the charge of witchcraft It was the proud boast of a noted executioner In north- ern ¬ Italy at this limo that In fifteen years he had assisted In burning 000 persons charged with sorcery In Scot- land ¬ between 1CCO and 1000 8000 peo ¬ pIe were put to death an average of 200 a year The last execution for witchcraft In England took place In 1712 In Scotland In 1722 Germany in 1740 and In Spain In 1781 On the whole It Is remarkable that- so hew were sentenced to death during- the sixty years after the settlement of Boston there being but twelve In all The first case was that of Margaret Jones of Charlestown in 1048 This woman had some advanced Ideas in re gard to the practice of medicine cur Ing by herbs barks etc and so gained- the enmity of some of the doctors She was accused of being In league with the devil and was convicted and Hanged On the day of her execution a terrific gale happened In Connecticut blowing down trees and doing other damage- and tills Gov Winthrop deemed evi- dence ¬ of her guilt In 1050 Mrs Ann Hutchlnson was tried before Gov Endlcott found guil- ty ¬ and banged on Boston Common In tho next twenty or thirty years there were a number of cases tried and strange to say a number of those charged with the crime were acquitted- John Bradstreet of Rowley was ac- cused ¬ of Intimacy with the devil and sentenced to pay a fine or be whipped- A noted case was that of a woman employed by the Goodwin family In 1CS3 In the fact that Cotton Mather took an active Interest In the case This woman confessed thinking that clem- ency ¬ would be shown her but she was hanged Proto Flake gave a brief resume of Mathers life and said that early his- torians ¬ had not done him justice and that his memory had been held up as that of one who more than any other man stimulated the delusion of witch- craft ¬ This tho speaker said was not so and the first man to do him justice- was the poet Longfellow In 1808 and later William Poole the lat ¬ ter giving a most accurate view of the case The speaker tbcn came to the Salem cases He said that in 1002 the cir- cumstances ¬ favored an outbreak of witchcraft Everything In Massachu- setts ¬ was going wrong It was believed that the devil was In their midst and the reverses In Indian wars and other afflictions had wrought the minds of the colonists up to a high pitch Sagacity Shown by Diet A tag had been turned out before a pack of hounds and when somewhat pressed by them I observed It twice says a contributor to Our Animal Friends to go among a flock of sheep and In both cases to double back evi ¬ dently with the intention of baJQIIng the pursuit of the dogs It would thus seem that the animal was aware of Its being followed by tbo scent and not by sight Mr G S Erb writing from Salt Lake City tells of tho sagacity of deer- In that district In avoiding gun traps The deerare very partial to the tops of maple trees and when food was scarce- on account of snow It was the custom- to cut down a maple tree and to place- a gun connected with the tree In such a way that the deer could not pass be ¬ tween the tree and the gun without pressing the line so as to discharge the gun with the result that he would get snot This experiment be says he tried at least sixty times but never succeeded in killing the deer until he substituted a black linen thread for the fish line which he had first used and then he had no difficulty In killing thom as the thread was so small and black that they could not distinguish It Ptn > ix Fioauss Dn prodnsM the taitaet and brightest colon of any known dJS staff Bold by eMdtugglsa His Experience Mrs OoidAhl there U nothlnc which CAOMI much miter as liquor The

Cadereyta Mendez In the State of Queretaro Mexico which has attractS ed great attention not only In the lo- cality ¬ but also In the city of Mexico owing to the extraordinary fact that the perpetrator was at the time In prison on a charge of robbery and persons la that position as a rule have not the means nor the opportunity of doing bodily harm to people who are outside of prison The victim of the assassins bullet was a gentleman of the name of Jose Llaca a prominent and substantial resident the locality Mr Llaca had recently had some difficulties with persons la the vicinity owing to clashes inbusiness interests and a man by the name of Olvera had been put In jail on a charge of stealing certain mules belonging to Mr Llaca from his hacienda known by the name of La Llave Mr Llaca naturally supposed that after being put In prison the thief would be disarmed and In going about his dally business Iu the town he of course never hesitated about passing In front of the prison On the day of tho murder he was passing on the op ¬ poslte side of the street and the pris ¬ oner seeing him from tie Jail shot at him from behind with such good aim that the bullet entered near the spinal column The wounded man tried to draw his pistol but just then received another bullet In the breast and fell back In a dying condition- The sister in lnw of Mr Llaca who had seen whet had occurred from the balcony of a neighboring house ran Into tho street to render assistance to her kinsman and at the same time the murderer who through Inexplicable carelessness was allowed to get out of the prison npproached Mr Llaca and shot him through the head causing In ¬ stant death When he received the first shot Mr Llaca was walking along reading a newspaper which he had Just received from the

rational In 1015 In Genoa 500people were burned to death on thecharge of witchcraft It was the proudboast of a noted executioner In north-ern

¬

Italy at this limo that In fifteenyears he had assisted In burning 000persons charged with sorcery In Scot-

land¬

between 1CCO and 1000 8000 peo ¬

pIe were put to death an average of200 a year The last execution forwitchcraft In England took place In1712 In Scotland In 1722 Germanyin 1740 and In Spain In 1781

On the whole It Is remarkable that-so hew were sentenced to death during-the sixty years after the settlement ofBoston there being but twelve In allThe first case was that of MargaretJones of Charlestown in 1048 Thiswoman had some advanced Ideas in regard to the practice of medicine curIng by herbs barks etc and so gained-the enmity of some of the doctors Shewas accused of being In league with thedevil and was convicted and HangedOn the day of her execution a terrificgale happened In Connecticut blowingdown trees and doing other damage-and tills Gov Winthrop deemed evi-

dence¬

of her guiltIn 1050 Mrs Ann Hutchlnson was

tried before Gov Endlcott found guil-

ty¬

and banged on Boston Common Intho next twenty or thirty years therewere a number of cases tried andstrange to say a number of thosecharged with the crime were acquitted-John Bradstreet of Rowley was ac-

cused¬

of Intimacy with the devil andsentenced to pay a fine or be whipped-

A noted case was that of a womanemployed by the Goodwin family In1CS3 In the fact that Cotton Mathertook an active Interest In the case Thiswoman confessed thinking that clem-

ency¬

would be shown her but she washanged

Proto Flake gave a brief resume ofMathers life and said that early his-

torians¬

had not done him justice andthat his memory had been held up asthat of one who more than any otherman stimulated the delusion of witch-

craft¬

This tho speaker said was notso and the first man to do him justice-was the poet Longfellow In 1808 andlater William Poole the lat¬

ter giving a most accurate view of thecase

The speaker tbcn came to the Salemcases He said that in 1002 the cir-

cumstances¬

favored an outbreak ofwitchcraft Everything In Massachu-setts

¬

was going wrong It was believedthat the devil was In their midst andthe reverses In Indian wars and otherafflictions had wrought the minds ofthe colonists up to a high pitch

Sagacity Shown by Diet

A tag had been turned out before apack of hounds and when somewhatpressed by them I observed It twicesays a contributor to Our AnimalFriends to go among a flock of sheepand In both cases to double back evi ¬

dently with the intention of baJQIIng

the pursuit of the dogs It would thusseem that the animal was aware of Itsbeing followed by tbo scent and not bysight

Mr G S Erb writing from SaltLake City tells of tho sagacity of deer-In that district In avoiding gun trapsThe deerare very partial to the tops ofmaple trees and when food was scarce-on account of snow It was the custom-to cut down a maple tree and to place-a gun connected with the tree In sucha way that the deer could not pass be ¬

tween the tree and the gun withoutpressing the line so as to discharge thegun with the result that he wouldget snot This experiment be says hetried at least sixty times but neversucceeded in killing the deer until hesubstituted a black linen thread forthe fish line which he had first usedand then he had no difficulty In killingthom as the thread was so small andblack that they could not distinguish It
