THE EVIL EYE.

And How a Coincidence Helped to Rival
the Chains of Superstition.

Miss Symonds and a party of friends
had driven from Athens to the foot of
Hymettns in a carriage drawn by two
horses. The drive beingr over, the coach-
man proceeded to give corn to his
One of them, however, would
not eat, but hung hishead and refused
all food. The driver. in astate of wild
excitement, thereupon presented him-
self before his fares and declared, with
frenzied words, that one of the ladies
had “overlooked” the suffering horse,
and that the beast was about to expire.
The only way to get it cured from the
effects of the evil eye was for the over-
looked to spit upon it. The driver ap-
pears to have had 'no doubt which lady
was the possessor of the evil power ex-
Naturally
enough, the lady in question, had no
great fancy to try this primitive form
of veterinary Surgery and refused.

The man’s entreaties and adjurations,
however, became so vehement and so
threatening that at last the alleged pos- '
sesscr of the evil eye had to yield. No
sooner had she’spat upon the horse than
a. most welcome change set in. The
beast, which had appeared to be at‘its
last gasp, promptly grew better, and
very soon was eating like its fellow. Of
course 2/ the change Was due to a coin?
cidence. Probably the horse was at first
too tired to out, but during the discus-
sion “to spit or not to spit” he no doubt
got rested. By the time, then, the cere—
mony was performed he was 'qnite fit
for breakfast. It was, in fact, post hoc, .
not proptcr hoe. The spitting and the
recovery following each other'so closely
was a mere coincidence. But though
we may hold this view it was of course
not held‘ by the Greek coach'man. He,
we may be sure, felt at once completely
confirmed in his belief in the evil eye.

The coincidence gave him what he
thought ample - proof of the efficacy of
his charm against ' “overlooking. ” If
nothing had happened, 'and the English
ladies had been able to laugh at him
for making one of them do :1 disagree-
able thing without any result, the driver
might have begun to think that, after
all, his juggling rites were nonsense.
Depend upon it, the coincidence rivet-
ed the chains of superstition upon him
tighter than ever. After the incident we
have just noticed he will probably be-
lieve as firmly in the evil eye and the
way to counteract its influence as he will
in the procession of the geasons or the
following of day by night. —London

Death in Clinton Prison.-

ASSERTIID HIS" mocha.

'Most Recent Election Riot—A Fault-
'_ loss Execution -— Brief Story
"of. Bat Slica’s Crime.

DANNEMORA, N. Y., Feb. 12.—Bat Shea

» was electrocuted at Clinton prison today.

Warden Thayer had set the hour so as
to keep the man in as little suspense as
possible, and it was not yet 10 o’clock

when the bank of electric lamps was test: ‘
ed, and: the warden warned the witnesses :
to be quiet, no matter what occurred, and .

then went to fetch the prisoner.

There was Only a delay Of a moment,"

and then the shufile of feet in. the corridor

heralded the approach of the death proces-'
As it entered,:_ first the warden ‘

sion.
and his deputy, and then Shea, between
two priests, his head bowed. but with _no
weakness apparent, there was a short, cdn-
vulsive move as the chair caught his eye.
The straps were adjusted quickly. While

the priests in a low tone of voice read the.

service for the dead.

This low. monotonousintonation lasted
While the first voltage was turned On and
until the physicians pronounced the'man
dead. ' " .,

Dr. C. E. Davis of Albany was' in
charge ofthe stethoscope and announced
h

 

BAT SHEA.

the death. It was just 9:55 when Shea
entered the room, and just 958% when'he
was pronounced dead.

The current sent the body ’ tightly
against the straps, and the neck and bared

leg grew purple. For 31 seconds the con-
tact was maintained and reduced to a light
voltage for 31 seconds. When the current
was turned off, there was an escape of air
from the filled lungs, and Dr. Ransom or-
dered the current on again.

A contact of 27 seconds was maintained,

, and then the stethescope ‘failed to show

any life. Bat Shea had died in the chair
as atonement for the death of Robert Ross.
The escape of air from [the lungs sounded
like a prolonged sigh and made some peo-
ple think that there was life. but‘the phy-
sicians saidith’at, death . was instantaneous.

. Shea’s Last Hours.

Shea. retired quite early last night and
slept scundly until shortly after 7 o’clock.
He had ham and eggs for breakfast.

. Before he was served his spiritual ad-
viser, Rev." -J. J. Swift of St. Patric {’5
church, Troy, and Rev. Father Berlanger,
the local Catholic priest, arrived, and the
final rites of the church were administered.
Shea received the sacrament, shook

hands with Father Swift and said, “I am ‘

innocent. hither—innocent.” Then, - as
the last rites of anointing were perform-
ed, n tear started down hischeek, and as
Father Swift held his head in his hands
and blessed him he gave a. convulsive sob
and repeated his assertion of innocence.

When the priests had finished, be quick-'
ly recovered himself, and when the break-
fast of ham, eggs and coffee and toast
was brought to him he ate heartily.

The electric light in the rather dark cor-
ridor of the condemned house took on a
sickly glare, and the eyes of the condemned
man looked for almost the last time 'upon
the sunlight. , After breakfast he sat on
the edge of the cot in his cell While his two
guards stood just outside, their eyes never
once taken from him. .

It was, shortly after 9:30 o’clock when
the Witnesses were summoned to go to the
death chamber.

They were: Dr. C. E. Davis. Albany;
Dr. J. C. Shaw, Hooslck Falls; Dr. G. W.
Spoor, North Granville; Dr. V. G. Stren-
ton, Glens Falls; L. B. Thayer, sheriff of
Albany; Dr. Van Hoesen, L. H. Fancher
of Troy, and a number of newspaper rep-
resentatives. -

A. Letter of Thanks.

Just before going to the: death chair
Shea. handed a letter to the_ representative
of a newspaper in Troy. The letter
thanks his counsel for their eflorts to save
him and says: . _ ,

On the verge of death, I desire to say that
I do not think I had a fair trial. Extraordi-
nary means were taken to convict me, and
testimony given by Mr. Lansing was absolute-
ly untrue. I am sorry for Ross’ family and
fer the gloom it has cast over them, but I- did
not go to the polls on election day to shoot
Robert Ross and had no intention of injuring
him. I die for a erimeI did not commit. I am
an innocent man. I bid you all farewell.

BARTHOLOMEW SHEA.

The crime for which Shea suifered‘the
extreme penalty today was the result of
an attempt by the better elements of both
political parties in Troy to put an end to
the election methods that had for years
disgracedthe city.

mittee’ of Safety was organized, and all
good citizens were urged to help purify
the ballot.

Shea, McGough and several others, who
had for years led parties .of repeaters, were
warned not to try it at any of the polling
places and were told that they would be
resisted even with arms.

It was in the Thirteenth ward of Troy
that the man who died today appeared and
tried to vote in violation of law. A gen-
eral melee took place, in which William
Ross,.Robert Ross, McGough and Shea,
with half a dozen others, were engaged. .

Revolvers were drawn, and while Rob-
ert Ross lay prostrate upon the ground it
is alleged that Shea deliberately shot him
in the back. of the head, killing him.

McGough shot William Ross, and for
that crime was sent to Dannemora'prison
for 18 years.

Since_McGough confessed to the Ross
murdér he has been in solitary confine
ment. Today, however, he was put back
to work in the shops, the law having been
vindicated by the death of Shea.

LONDON,‘ Feb. 12. ——The queen’s speech,
which was read to parliament today in the
customary manner, is as follows:

,“MY LOBDS AND GENTLEMEN—I con-
tinue to receive from other powers assur-
ances of their friendly sentiments. An
agreement has been concluded between
my government and the government of
the French republic having for its princi-
pa’l objects a more secure establishment of
the independence of the kingdom of Siam.
A copy thereof will be laid before you.

“The commissioners for the delimitation
of the frontier which separates my Indian
empire and the territory of Afghanistan
,from the dominions of " the emperor of
Russia have agreed upon a line which has
been accepted by myself and the emperor.

“The government of the United States
have expressed a‘wish to co-operate in ter-
minating the differences which have ex-
isted for many years between my govern-
ment and the republic of Venezuela upon
the boundary of that country and my col-
ony of British Guiana. I have expressed

my sympathy with the desire to come to '

an equitable arrangement, and Itrust that
further negotiations will lead to a satis-
factory settlement. . '

“Thesultan of Turkey has sanctioned
the principal reform in the government of
the Armenian provinces which, in, con-
junction with the emperor 'of Russia and
the president of the French republic, I felt
it my duty to press. I deeply regret that
a. fanatical outbreak upon the part of a
section of the" Turkish population has re-
sulted in a series of massacres in those
provinces which have caused the deepest
indignation in this country. Papers on
these transactions will be laid before you.

The Jameson Outrage.

“A sudden incursion into the South
African Republic by an armed force from
territories under the control of the British
South African company resulted in a de-
plorable collision with the burgher forces.
My ministe a at the earliest possible mo-
ment intert- sad to prohibit, through the
high commissioner, this hostile action and
to warn all my subjects throughout South
Africa against taking part in aid of it.
The origin and circumstances of these pro-
ceedings will form the subject of a search-
ing inquiry. The president of the South
African Republic, acting in this ‘matter
with moderation 'and wisdom, agreed to
place the prisoners in the hands of my
high cOmmissloner, and I have undertaken
to bring to trial the leaders of the expedi-
tion. The conduct of the president upon
this occasion and the- assurances which
he has voluntarily given. lead me to be-
lieve that he-recognizes the importance of
'redressing the legitimate grievances of
which complaint has been made by a ma-
jority of ' the person's now inhabiting the
Transvaal.” 2 .' :

The following 'references are made to
the Chitral and Ashanti expeditions:

' “While I rejoice to be-able to announce.

that the objects of the Ashanti expedition
have been achieved without bloodshed, I
hav’eltodeplore the loss from the severities
of the climate of some valuable lives,’ in-
cluding that of my beloved son-in-law,
Prince Henry of Battenberg,~who volun-
tarily placed his services at the disposal of
myself and his adopted country. I and
my dear daughter .are greatly touched and
comforted in this heavy bereavement by
widespread sympathy, shown by' my sub-
jects throug‘..out the empire at home and
abroad.” 7 1- .

In that part of the speech addressed to
the house of commons the queen says:

“The estimates have been prepared with
the utmost regard for economy, but the
exigencies of - the times require an in-
creased expenditure.”

In Conclusion.

The conclusion of the speech is as fol-
lows: '

“The extension and improvement of the
naval defenses of the empire are the most
important subjects to which your efforts
can be directed and will doubtless occupy
your most earnest attention. I regret to
say that the condition of husbandry is dis-
astrous beyond any recent experience.
Measures will be laid before' you with the
object to mitigate the distress in that in-
dustry.” '

The speech then announces the ap-
proaching introduction of bills for the as-
sistance of voluntary schools, providing
compensation for injuries to workmen, to
amend defects in the various Irish land
acts, for the avoidance and settlement of
trade disputes, to facilitate building light
railways in the United Kingdom, for
checking the importation of destitute
aliens. to institute a board of husbandry
in Ireland, and other minor bills.

There was an unusual amount of inter-
est in the opening of parliament today.
Owing'to the many important questions
that will come before the present session,
nearly all the members of both houses
placed themselves on record before the
party chiefs as having heeded the calls for
a full assemblage. During the interval
between the last session ‘and the present
both houses had been thoroughly renovated
and additional electric lighting provided.

Both houses assembled at 2 o’clock p,
in. There were many early arrivals anx-
ious to secure good seats. R Ashcroft,
Conservative. representing Oldham, ar-
rived at the house of commons at 5:40 a.
m. and was the first member to appear.
By 9 o’clock a. large number of seats had
been taken. The Irish benches alone were
not crowded. Many supporters of the gov-
ernment were obliged to stand, owing to
lack of seats. The speaker, the Right
Hon. William Court Gully, took his seat
at 1 :55 p. m., and the members filed past

' and shook hands with him.

At 2:05 p. m. the members of the house
of commons were'summoned to attend the
house of lords for the reading of the
queen’s speech. The reading of the speech
was finished at 2:25 p. 11].

The Parnellite members of the Irish
