A MOTHER AND HER BABY SACRIFICED. British Guiana Medicine Man Causes Them Tp Be Burned--A Dreadful Story From a British Possession. Georgetown, British Guiana, Jan. 7.--Savagery is certainly more primi- tively rampent in this colefiy than anywhere else in the British empire. This was illustrated by a ghastly case of double murder which was heard by the local magistrate the other day. Christie, a middle-aged Wagisiana Indian of the Rupunumi district, was charged with the murder of an infant, the child of en, Indian woman named Kaliwa. : About two years ago, or, as the In dian witness put it, about 'two heavy rains," back, the wife of a 'buck' gave birth to twins. Une of the chil- dren died, and some time afterward the mother and the surviving child be came ill. Christie, a "marinow'"' or a "paiman," was called in and askid to give his advice as a "medicine man," and, after holding an incantation, he decided that the child's father was not the woman's husband, Turuma, but an evil spirit. The child, he explained, was not a natural being, and, therefore, not to be permitted to die a natural death, ond as regarded the mother, he held that she was unfit to be a wife any | lonber. He urged her husband to take | them behind a mountain two miles | away from the village and burn them; but the man, who seemed devoted to his wife, delayed carrying out the "medicine man's" orders for about three months. Fhe "marinow," to show his displea sure at this neglect, burned down his own * house and left the immediate neighborhood; hut on several occasions he sent a few of his wives to urge the husband to burn the sick woman = and her child, lest the evil spirit who was | the infant's father should destroy the entire village. At length one day the distressed hus- band placed his wife in a basket, took her into the forest, and, after he put her into a hammock, kindled a large fire under her. Returning later, he buried the bones | and some time later took to the for est, and during his absence some wo | men in whose -care the infant was left | carried théir little charge into the | bush and burned it on a wood pile, | in consequence of messages sent by the | "medicine mon." GATHERED IN. | | Former Judge Arrested By Police For Robbery. Marseilles, Jan. 7.--An escaped con ict who lived at Marseilles for seven teen years and became a judge, has | been arrested by the police for rob | bery. { The man, who was known as Tatin, | had acquired the highest reputation as a business man in Marseilles. He was | proprietor of a bathing establishment, treasurer of a local benevolent so | cisty, a member of the Dock Owners' Association, and president-elect af the leading political club of Marseilles. Two years ago he was honored by being elected a consular judge, but wing to a hitch in the proceedings he almost immediately retired in favor of a friend. Three months ago he dis | appeared with a sum of money belong {ing to people to whom he had been | acting as (nancial adviser. He was arrested at.a hotel in Paris and brought back to Marseilles, where his examination beiore the judge d'in- | struction has revealed some extraor dinary facts, Tatin, whose real name was Ga- aud, while undergoing his military servive, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for robbery. On retir | ing to civil life hp underwent two | other sentences six months and twelve months, respectively, for similar offences. Later on, at Bor deaux, for making off with the moneys of his employer, he was sentenced to ten years penal servitude, but escap od from prison; and with false papers | came to live at Marseilles. He is now awaiting trial at the as sizes. ONLY ONE DOOR NAILED. All Other Theatre Exits Were In * Constant Use. The Grand Opera House manage- ment state that there was only one of the lane exit doors nailed up, and that was the ene leading from the "gods." It seends it was nailed up be cause it had been broken, and latterly it has not been in use. The other lane exits have been used ever since the theatre was built, being constantly opened for the purpose of airing the building. Last night every exit was thrown open, allowing the audience to leave the house in a very brief time. People should not point only to the theatre regarding the question of exits, for it is far better supplied than most other public buildings here. Some churches are tery much in need of attention in respect to exits, and also regarding the filling of aisles when the seating capacity is complete ly utilized. The theatre, being a mo- dern construction, has a goodly num- ber. of exits. The chief of police . visited the op- era house yesterday and was well sat- { isfied with the state of arrancements | for public safety. Last night's opera- | tion of the ashestos curtain and exit { doors was most satisfying. eee Won New York Prizes. 1. H.

Prof. Cappon, of Queen's, writes as follows to the "Toronto News : "At a recent meeting of the -special committee of the educational board, it was resolved by a majority vote that the examination of candidates for specialists' certificates should be conducted by a provincial board at Toronto. This might seem, on the surface of it, to be a reasonable de mand. In reality it is a serious blow dealt at the etficiency of university teaching in Canada. The board would be mainly appointed from Toronto University, and would, therefore, con- stitute practically a system of outside examination for all other Canadian universities enga, in the work of p ving specialists for the schools. "Everybody now recognizes the cramping, and indeed fatal effect which the system of external examination has on the teacher. It destroys his bigher energy and originality, and compels him to do the work of a crammer. It must be kept in mind also that the specialists' courses are not only for teachers, they are also general courses open to ordinary stu dents and rather popular with them. Even if they were not fo, the univer: sity teacher is put into the disabling position of having to work at one and the same time for two different " ctandards. "The logizal consequence of this st would be the establishment of i exawiving boards in every province of ---- Why should not = other provinces adopt the princiule of "pro- tection" as well as Ontario ? No uni: versity wotll be able to equip teach- ers except for one province. e only possible form of an examining board, therefore, would be a dominion board, impartially chosen from the whole country. That would be fair at least, but it would still, of course, exercise the detrimental influence on teaching whith is inseparabl: from the system of external examination. "The occasion of this yesolution ccems to have been the application of McGill University to have its gradu: ates admitted as teachers: in Ontario on specialist courses, similar to those of the Ontario universities. The re- solution is a veiled forms of "protec tion" for a particular university, and introduces a principle of provincialism in education which' will be an injury to the national life. "1 may also notice that the resolu- {ion is in open contradiction to the present policy of the education de partment, which for some years kas been condemning the system of exter- nal examination, and has just framed a bill to abolish it entirely in the schools." -- 'CLOCK KINDLES THE FIRE. Automatic Device Which is a Bles- sing to Early Risers. Saturday Evening Post. An automatic lire kindler, the opera- {ion of which is regulated by an ordi- nary alarm clock will doubtless appeal to every person whose duties include getting up carly to start the fire in ithe kitchen stove. With this new contrivance installed in a house it is necessary, upon Te tiring, simply to assemble the fuel in the stove or any fireplace, connect an attachment to the clock, and set the latter at any required hour. When the alarm sounds a fulminate is ignit- ed, which, communicating with an in fiammmable substance in the stove, range, furnace or grate, immadiatcly starts the fire. By the time the house holder or servant is up the fire is burning briskly, and the water is boil ing. It is claimed that these new devices may be so set that they will set fires whenever wanted, and thus have a home thoroughly heated before the oc cupants stir from their beds. From the back of the clock used in comec tion with the automatic fire kindler extends a shaft on which is mounted a rotary friction disc or pulley, the periphery of which is milled or other wise designed to create friction whin rotated in contact with a relatively stationary member, By the of eration oi a pivotal arm, a lug on spring and other attachments in copnection with the rotary dise, this entire gxter nal mechanism is set in motion .when the alarm i4 released. Instantly a fuse, with an easily ig- nited fulminate at its end, and\held in place in a slot opening ainst the friction wheel, is set afire. The flame, properly confined within the metallic slot, travels instantly over the ful minate strand, which is saturated with a freeburning ingrdient. The clock may be set on a nearby shelf or on the back of the stove or a furnace projection. As« even a small and cheap alarm clock may be utilized, and as the tube incased fire started may be safely controlled, that part of the problem is very simple. Moreover, any kind of kindling substance ordinarily used may ba utilized. The fuse may be employed-merily to ignite paper under the regulaiion kindling wood fire, with coal or cord wood on top. In such cases the action is similar to that of a match, or, rather, several matches lighted simultaneously and burning longer than ordinary matches. a-------- The Scotchman's Reply. At an evangelistic service at Glas. gow the other day the preacher at end of his address cried: "Now all vou good people who mean to go to heaven with me, stand up." With 'a surge of cnthusiasm, the audience sprang to their feet--all but an old Scotchman in the front row, who sat still, The horrified evangelist wrung his hands, and, addressing him, said : "My good man, my good man, don't you want to go to heaven?" Clear and deliberate came the answer, "Aye, Awm. gangin'. but no with a pairson- ally conducted party." eee The Age Of Advertising. Philadelphia Record, Lord Rosebery, in a speech to busi- ness men, tried to induce British mer- chants to advertise their goods more extensively. Everybody, he maintain. ed, is engaged in advertising himself, and this is distinctly the advertising age. "It seems hard," he said, "that we should fall short in doing for our goods that which we do so successful: ly for ourselves." The family cat aroused an Otisco fa- mily by her cries, and thev. found their house on fire. All escaped. DAY. - JANUARY 7. BIG EXPLOSION!" DISASTER ON THE CFUISE2: AWALLAROO AT >FA.
