That voodoolsin In nil Its horrors Is practiced lu tho Interior of Ilultl by the superstitious natives has long been known or suspoctcd by residents end visitors to the tumultuous Island. The white men who have ever had the ex perience of seeing the voodoo worship erg In the midst of their fearsome orgies might well be enumerated on the eight fingers. One of the few who have had the ghastly experience arriv ed In New York recently. lie Is Baron Hendrik van Renken Stam, the ship's aurgeon. Dr. Stam has had many thrilling ex periences, but It remained for the voo doo worshlpors of Haiti to give him the thrill of thrills. "Talk about the spinal shivers," said the surgeon In discussing bis experi ence, "well, I had them for fulr. I bad the experience about two weeks ago, and my sleep is disturbed with frightful nightmares yet. Hobby Leads Him Ashore. "My hobby since my college days has been botany, and In my rambles about the world I have always taken tho op portunity to explore the out of the way places for botanical specimens. It was this bobby that made me a witness of the voodoolstlc ceremony. The ship was lying In the harbor of Port au Prince, and I took the opportunity to go ashore with my collecting case to eck rare flowers In tho bills back of the nnltlan capital. "I started early In the morning, and toidafternoon found me wandering About through tho hills. I started back blindly, and In a fow minutes tho real ization came over mo that I was lost "As I marched blindly through the wooded hills I hoard tho sound of drums reverberating. At first tho drum beats sounded afar, and then they came nenrer and nearer. I thought that I must bo approaching some set tlement, and at tho thought I quick ened my footsteps.

"As I ncared tho light the sound of the drumming became more and moro Intense, and then I distinguished voices raised in a wild chant Like a flash the realization, swept over me that I was coming upon voodoo worshipers 'In tho nildHt of their wolrd rites. I hnd henrd tho story of the voodoo wor shipers for years, and at tho thought of seeing the natives in the midst of their ceremony I forgot dnnger and de rided to see for myself what voodoo worship was. "The nearer I eninc to the light, which I soon saw to be n big fire, tho more cautious I became in tny move ments. I soon found it necessary to pet down on my hands and knees and crawl through the underbrush. The floating of the drums was awful, but the noise served to cover my not alto gether silent approach through tho brush. Crawls Through Underbrush, "Nearer and nearer 1 crawled toward the lire, and then I found myself In a clump of hushes from which I could see the natives In their orgy, not two score feet away. About thirty blacks were In t ho party, and they stood or sat about the lire, the half dozen drum mers pounding their Instruments for dear life, while the others raised their voices In the awful chant During all this a native, with face besmeared with vermilion streaks and with trinkets hanging about Ills neck and waist that rattled ns he moved, strode up and down before the fire, chanting soma wild Incantation. Suddenly he ap proached a native holding n bundle In bis arms. The chant grew wilder aud the drums beat the louder. "The bundle which the medicine mnn or voodoo chief seized was a living in fant. Above the sound of the voices nnil drums I caught tho infant's wall, I saw tho voodoo man ralso n knlfo uIhivc (be child, and, blind with rago and forgetful of my own safely, I sprang to my feet and dashed from my place of concealment toward tho heathen. !f tlio ilnvll himself had sud denly popped Into their nililHt those voodooists could not have been more nstouished. The chant broke off sud denly, the drums ceased their thun dering, and half of the worshipers tis'k to their heels Into tho forest. Fells Medicine Man.

With the avowed purpose of doing humanity a much needed good turn Dr. Bradford Leavltt, pastor of the First Unitarian church of San Francisco, has resigned his pulpit to reform funerals.

SENATE HACKS DOWN ON HILLS OF HOI SE SeventyHwo bouse bills, which have been passed since Saturday, will not be affected by the senate resolu tion against receiving bills from the house after last Saturday. This deci sion was reached yesterday afternoon by President Malarkey and Senator Mean, members of the advisory com mittee named to determine what bills Bhould be received. The reason for not barring any of the bills, according to President Ma larkey, Is that It would cause charges of partiality should the list be seg regated, and the bills of any member left out of consideration. To separate the worthy bills from the unworthy ones is considered an impossibility by the president nnd the senator.

With the reluctant admission by the medical profession that the live non-virulent tubercolo sls bacilli may mean a big advance ment in the treatment of the "white plague," the question of who discov ered it is developing here into a sort of "Cook-Peary" controversy. Dr. Frederick Franz Frledniann first used it upon humans, but Dr. Piorkowskl disputes the discovery with him. Dr. Plorowskl, one of the ablest bacteriologists in Germany, was Fried mann's bacteriologist for some time in 1903. It was In Plorowski's lab oratory that Frledmann is alleged to have discovered and developed his non-virulent germ. Dr. Piorkowskl says that he has been working with the germ since 1903, putting it through turtle after turtle during that time in order to make it absolutely non-virulent He claims that Frledmann followed the same oourse. He admits that Frled mann was the first to try It upon humans. Dr. Piorkowskl said: "You may say for me that I have every, reason to believe that my germ is Identical with Dr. Frledniann's bacillus." Unlike Frledmann, Plorowskl has given his culture to several persons, among them Dr. Austin H. Held 'Of Pittsburgh, who arrived in Now York February 3. For a time the question was raised whether Frledniann's germ was not an "American animal." There is said to have been a live non-virulent tu berculosis culture In the laboratory of Dr. Trudo and Dr. Baldwin at Sarannc Lake, N. Y., for years a freak germ taken from the lungs of a child. Two shipments from this culture were made to Rerlln, tho first In 1904 and the second In 1906. As this was some time after Frledniann's discovery, there appears to be no connection.

' HE THREW AWAY GOLD TO SAVE THE CHILD Patrick Kearney), aged 80, an Oregon pioneer of 1855, died Tuesday In As toria at the home of his nephew, Chief of Police Kearney, after an extended Illness. He was born In Nova Scotia, leaving his home when 25 years of age for Oregon. About 1800 he went to California, where he engaged in mining, and within a few months amassed a com fortable fortune. In 1802 he decided to return to his birthplace and sailed for Pnnnma on the Bteamer Golden Gate. On this trip the ship was burn ed off the Mnnxnnillo coast. It was during this trip that Mr. Kearney saved a 12-yenr-old girl from drowning, the feat costing him his en tire fortune of $18,000 In gold dust nnd nuggets which be had with him. Part of this wns In a grip, while $10, 000 was In a belt about his waist. When the steamer caught fire, all on board were forced to jump over board. Seeing the child helpless In the water, Mr. Kearney threw away his treasure, took her In bis arms and swam to the beach. While doing this the weight of the belt about his waist became so burdensome thnt he cast It oft and the saving of the child's life was tho result. About 12 years ago Mr. Kearney re ceived a letter from the thankful miss, who at that time was a resident of New York city and was employed as a schoolteacher. The deceased never mnrrled nnd his only living relatives nre three neph ews who reside In Astoria and with whom he made his home. Journal Want Ailvs. llrlng Results.
