oc31 GwS Clerk of the Surrogate's Court. OPERA IS VERNACULAR. Jerome Hopltiun' Views on the Subject To the Editor of the Brooklyn Ea'ole: Will you permit me to venture a rejoinder to your statement that there is no radical or sufficient reason why opora should not be sung iu tht vernacular? I can furnish a few reasons, and such a i your pocket would soon convince you were good if you should ever dabble in opera. Some noted exceptions te the oontrary, history shows that the music of certain nationalities is best interpreted by artists of those nationalities. Thus Hummel, Thalberg, Von Bulow have best interpreted BeethoTOn'B, Mozart'fl and Schumann's pianoforte work.

All Germans. Liszt and Rubinstein, the ono a Hungarian and tho other a Russian. Riuk, Hesse, Meyerbeer and Hanptmanu, with scores of others, have best interpreted the organ works of the Bachs, Merckel, Thiele, Schneider, etc. All Germans again. Exceptions: Guilmant of Paris, J.

Kendrick Pine of Manchester. England, and our owii Clarence Eddy. A Frenchman, an Englishman and an American. Sivori was called the best interpreter of violin compositions of Tartini, Viotti and Paganini. All Italians.

Exceptions: Vieuxtomps, Edward Mollenhaner and Saraiate. Freechraan, Gorman and Spaniard. Iu Pachmann and the superangelio Paderowski aro undoubtedly the greatost living interpreters ef the divine Chopin's pianoforte muBic. All Polanders. Exceptions: Rafael Joseffy and Eugen D'Albert, Hungarian and English, while, for the dohrioivs tonrbillons of Hungarian extravaganzaB all know that none could pretend to interpret them as did tho late colossus of tlie piano, tho immortal, unapproach ablo Franz Liszt, probably the only man that ever lived iu whom was found the bleised musi cal trinity of head, heart and fingers, all worthy of equal adoration by the faithful, because equally Godlike and equally developed.

We now come to opera, the grandest of which, however, is so complex an entity and comprises bo many requirements that, in America or England, it Beems imposaible that it Bhould be given in the best manner the vernacular. It is conceded that the grandest of all operas that an entranced world has ever listened to are those of Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz and possibly Tchaikow. sky, for we Americans bave not yet heard the operatic works of the last two. And, if a tinge of nationality is necessary for the best production of distiuctively national instrumental mtiBic, as above instanced, such a tinge, deepened into broad daahes of warmest tone color is of tenfold importance in opera, which embodies gesture, facial expression and intellect, as well as musical sounds. Tho dovout Izak Walton ouco remarked that God could have, but undoubtedly never bad, created a more delicious berry than the Btrawberry.

Even so I say that possibly Offenbach's "Orphee en Enter," sung by a Welah troupe, fresh from an Eisteddfod, and Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde'' by an English music hall troupe fresh from tho Empiro or Trocadera, might be as well done aa by foreigners and in the vernacular, but it is not probable, for no more now than in the olden time do wo seek for grapes on thorns, or look for figs among thistles. Even if the graudeBt opera could be done in the vernacular our vernacular tho public could nevor be got to believe it, for good American singers commonly have to change their names to get engagements in foreign otn cert troupes. Then, again, it must be remembered that as wo develop into a muBical nation the intellectual element Is moro imperatively demanded iu opera. We want to enjoy some stnso in it, as well as Bound. Gounod lately expressed the opinion that we were now too exacting in this demand.

Translated opera is therefore invariably a botch, and those scholars to whom the originals may be familiar are revolted by the transplanted article, while others are almost as deeply shocked by tho glaring crudities of words which contradict tho music, as was the case in the laughable attempts of Mrs. Thurber's renowned, bogus American opera company, of impecunious and instructive memory. Iu conclusion, let it be remarked how rare it Is In Germany to hear anything other in opora than Gorman opera, in France anything than French opera, while in Italy anything other than Italian opera is almost unknown. Exceptions are Italian operas, which, of course, are given everywhere, but never as well as by Italian troupes. If we want operas in the vernacular, the beat way for us is to breed 'em.

Give us as much encouragement as you give the beBt shoemakers and car penterB and we will breed the best opera. The advance of our serious young composers during twenty five years baa been far beyond that of England during tho paBt ono hundred, and the latter's vaunted Mackenzie, Braun, HubortParry, Villiers, Stanford, Hamish, McCunn, Stainer, tho two little platitudinous Bridges and the comical childish Perry a muiical doctor notwithstanding all combined with a score or two more men who have never originated or amplified art fernis, would be nowhere in versatility alongBido of our Dudley Buck, John K. Paine, E. 0. Phelps a man of yet un sutpectod ability Chadwick, young Woodman ol Brooklyn, Deems of Baltimore, Gilchrist of Philadelphia, O.

car Weil, George T. Strtne, McDowell, Arthur Foote, Bird, Gloason of Chicago and lots ethers, all of uaiivo birth, too, aud not naturalized foreigners. England, however, like America has an army of obscure composers of originality of whom ono seldom hears for many good reasons. Among them I should place foremost Mr. E.

C. Essex of London, whose oratorio of ia a work of striking beauty, power and Bcholarship and a young man of the name of Barnett at St. Loouard's on Sea, to whose exceptional talent Mr. August MannB, conductor of the famous crystal palace orchestra, firdt called attention. That the royal English opora in London should fail was only to be expected.

Sullivan's attempt at grand opera was simply absurd. Tho night I was there tho audienco indulged in ap plause but three times from 8 till 11 o'clock. Yet his friends assured me that "Ivanhoe" was destined to become the English "Fidelio." Of course I could not deny it, but I sent a confidential telegram to Beethoven's ghost, telling him not to get excited. Jerome Hopkins. Bhooklyx, December 2, 1891.

NOTES OF THE DAI. An Illiterate Man With Peculiar Mental Powers. Rube Field of Hazel Hill, Can Neither Write Nor Read, bnt Immediately SoItos All Mathematical Problems Preseutod to Him. Although the public has heard something of Enbe Field, the mathematical prodigy of Hazel Hill, what kaa been said and written of him has generally been gnested'at. He is the mathematical wonder of the world, as regards calculations.

Rube ia as illiterate aa a savage and can instantly solve any mathematical problem. He wonid not recognize his name if it wero placod before him iu type three feet high, nor can he tell a fignre seven from a cipher, yet he can tell how many graiua of wheat piled upon each other would reach the buii if you gave him tho distance from tho earth to the ami. Such a problem he considers quite simple and will annonnee the answers by tho time you have concluded tho question. Bubo ia not easily engaged in conversation, and there is not a person in tho world to whom he would confide his secrets. No more to hia mother than to you.

Ho Believes that all mankind ia in leagne tako from him his gift, or, as he puts it, his "mystery." He regards everyman in the same way, and that ungovernable fear will no doubt keep him out of Bight of tho public, as it has for the last twenty years. Though he la mercenary to a degree in hia dealings he does notaeom to possosa any special desire for riches, but rather evinces the desire to seo "fools," as he calls tho human family, put to some expense on his account. It makes him feel big to have men hire him to be interviewed, and yet he will not make a public exhibition of himself, another evidence of his unusual composition. He cannot tell how ho manipulates figures aud computes numerals as with a thought, and his inability to explain bothers him least of all who are aware of tho fact. He aaya he ia aware if ho could write an arithmetic with his system of calculation as a bisiB he "could make moro money than ten railroads," but he can't do it and doesn't care anything about it.

Ho is satisfied with his lot and has great plans for tho future. It is his belief that he came into tbis world to herald to men that beyond their vision of tho acieuce of numbers lies tho key to the mysteries of life. The great work he is to do upon earth has not been outlined to him by the Omniscient, but will be. Taking him unawares, I asked: "Can you add 86,896,432 to 1,938,548 to 69,508,034,138 to 1,840,023,001 to 14,371 without stopping to figure?" "Thatmakos 71,473,496,494, said he on tho instant, and then ho laughed at my eurpriae. As I called tho numbers te him he added them, having the aggregate of the first two before I bad finiahed the third, and of the whole before I caught my breath after enumerating them.

Then I read a column of figures ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands, the length of a sheet of legal cap, and he had furnished me an aoourate aggrogate tho moment I finished. Such an evidence of unexplained power will astonish the most creduloua, but what must one think when such a character Bays that he is a living, walking chronometer and proves the same before yon can dispute it? He mistrusts all men and a financial consideration, together with the inducements of acquaintancea, is necessary to eet his tongue going, which dono, he keena you busy listening, for he talks like a torrent rashes, aweai'B with tho fury of a cyclone and calculate! with the rapidity of electric pulsations. I employed him to bo interviewed for ono hour and, desiring to teat him as to his knowledge of time without giving him an opportunity to couaalt a timepiece, I asked: "What is the time now, professor?" (He delights to be called "Twenty five aud oue quarter minutes after 3," ho replied. I reaohed for my watch to see if ho waa right, and before I oould see he said, "Your watoh ia one and one quarter fait." "How do yon know?" I asked. "I can't tell you, but I am right," he aaid.

And bo he waa, aa the Weatorn union regulator proved. I then concluded to test him further, aud resolved that I would say nothing of it when hrs hour was ended and note if he knew it. Imagine my BurpriBO, when in the middle of a problem ho stopped mo and announced that hia timo was up. Consulting my watch I found him right to a second. Previous to that I had asked him tho time in St.

Petersburg and he stated it correctly, saying that he was conscious of tho degreos of longitude and latitude in all hiB calculations of time. He knows their location and can answer any question of time whenever asked. Often he haa boon aroused from sound sleep, and upon being asked the time he would state it accurately while rubbing his eyes. Beading the dial plate of a clock in Berlin, he Baya, is no mora trouble to him than that of the watch in my pooket, and in this he brings proofs of the assertion that he ia conacious of every clock tick in the world, whether sleeping or awake. You raar tako him by surprise and after stating that the distance from Kansas City to New York and the dimensions of a locomotive drive wheel, allowed a stated loss for slipping of the wheel in each mile traveled, and he wiil instantly tell you how many revolutions the wheel will make in traveling that distance.

His memory is almost as remarkable as his calculating genius. Having heard any statement, he will remember it, and, though ho may not understand words he hears, he will use thom in the Bame or a similar rense to that in whioh they wore used when he heard them. By this means he has a vocabulary far in advance of other illiterates. Speaking of his youth he said he remombsred no change, ao far as his knowlodge of things ia concerned, sinco his seventh year, at which time he came into possession of hia "mystery." He is not fond of hia relatives, who, ho believes, would make a fortune at his expense if he were not ao smart as to prevent it. They uaod to call him a fool and ho hasn't forgiven thom for that.

sas City Times. THE TOWERS OF SILEXCE. Tho (irnesome Places Where the Paruccu Divpose of Tltcir Dead. The Paraoea, a peculiar aect living iu Bombay, were formerly from Persia. They aro fire worshipers and give the bodies of thoir dead to be devoured by Tultures.

Heceptacles for this purpose are built resembling round towers about twenty five feet In height, the interior arranged in three separate rewi around the entire inside, varying in size to receivo the bodios of men, women and children. These towers are reolless, the edges of which are contiuually covered with vultures and birds of tho air who feed on the bodies of the Parseo dead. In Bombay those towers are on tho Veautiful eminence, Malabar hili. The aides of the road leading to them are carefully walled, flowers and terns grow in profusion out of the chinks in tho walls, the cartage road leads up to a flight of eighty atone ateps, at the top of which is a great yellow and white gate or archway. Ou tho right Bidt of thin entrance Is a large marble slab, with tho large lettera in gilt, which reada, "None but ParBcoa can enter here." We wero, however, allowed to enter and were met by a yenorablo old Parsee who had served in tbis quiet garden for nearly thirty yeais.

He bado us follow him, which, with terror our hearts, we did, he loading us through tho labyrinth of that immense and lovely garden, beautiful in every sense of tho word, with flowera, forns and trees of tropical growth, down to the walla where wo conld view the great five white towors, on the edgos of which sat or flopped the great vulture ffhouls; tho ireos, too, wore filled with these impatient creatures, who moved about restlessly stretching thoir great necks, as if to catch the sound of the tramp of feet which were drawing nearer and nearer, toiling up tbat long, ateop hill with tho remains of two bodicB which but a few days before were teeming with life and mortality and the dearly beloved of the Parsee household, now to them a thing nuclean, being borne on the shoulders of a despised sect, to be placed in ono of these dreadful towers, the prey of thoso fearfully greedy carrion birds that in one quarter of an hour will have etripned the body of overy inch of flesh and left tho bones to bleach and crumble in the scorching sun. Only Parsee men follow the remains of the dead to' this last receptacle, save a dog led by a string, and who is the last to look on the face of the departed. That, according to tho Parsee creed, will take tho soul straight to Heaven. Near tho tower a sign is placed, "Stop hero." The mournora turn back whilo the dead is placed inside the tower, while the birds in their rapid flight blacken the air as they swoop down upon their prey. Tho eyes of the mourners stream with tears, tho heart sickens and the knees trcmblo, while a ai lonce like a pall fulls upon the lonely but awfnl garden, as for tho moment the mind conceives the scene of greod within the walla of tho tower of silence.

Theodore L. Cuyler, sev enteen of Keeley'a "cured patients" are now in the inebriate asylum.

Trov Press. When Dr.

Cuyler tellB of the Keoley oured patients who have relapsed, he ought also to men tion what proportion they bear to those who have stayed cored. As for total abstinence, it ia wise for ex inebriates to abstain, just aa it is for doaf or blind men to keep off of railroad tracks. The trouble with total abstitionce, as a general rule is, that it is a matter of every day experience that the totallera do not include tho best balanced, uor tho wisest, nor tho moat honest, nor the most temperate men. Of courso there aro many excel lent men among them, but do you happen to re call any great leader of men who waa a total abstainer? Dr. Cuyler himself is a good man, a man of ability and groat industry and very halo aud vigorous for his Teara.

But though he has no fondnoss for rum, he is said to bo decidedly intemperate in conversation. Rochester Union. r.EASS.tABLIt DOUBT. MO DOXOUGH STRiSET NEW YORK SUPREME COURT, KINGS COUNTY Emeline K. Brower, plaintiff, against Kate S.

We are llstenine every day to tho peal of merry marriage bells, and tho weddingB whioh thoy herald aro of all absorbing interest for the mo ment. "Tinted" weddings are somewhat of a novelty, and gray weddings especially so. The Boft Quaker color waa adopted upon one occasion because tho brido waa no longer in her first youth and white satin and orange blossoms wero hardly au fait, and atill she wished to have bridesmaids. So the brido was arrayed in a lovely shade of gray Bilk, bo delicate and beautiful that it sug gested one of the indescribable tints of a pearl shell. The skirt was mado with a train, and the front was draped with old Brussol'a lace.

The bonnet was of gray with white tips and lace. The bridesmaids were all robed in gowns of exactly the same Bhade of gray as tho bride, save that tho material was cloth. They had coats which reached almost to tho knees, and the vests were of gold and white brocade, with large gold filigree buttoua. They also wore gray felt hats with leathers, to match, and white ribbon butterfly bows and rosettes, while each maid carried a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. In England, pink weddings are well known, whore the gentlemen wear their hunting coats, and the ladie zouave jackets of cloth in scarlet or pink to oorrespoud.

Beoontly there was a golden wedding which created a deal of discussion. The flewer usod as the baBiB of color was the chrysanthemum of tho variety known as the "Golden Dragon." The brido'a gown was principally of white and gold brocade, affording just onongh coloring to bring out tho bride's brunette tints and give piquancy to tho effect. Two of tho maids wore white gowns with yellow bodices and shoulder knots of ribbon, two wore yellow gowns with white ribbon and bodices, and the tiny girl who actod as maid of honor was arrayed entirely in yollow. This slight diversity made a pretty and novel effcot aB a whole, and the same idea carried out in mauve would be beautiful indeed. Ella Star, tn FrunbLeslie's Weeklu.

Big Receipts and a Large Attendance on the Second Bay Au Exhibition of Wax Pignres That is Out of the Ordinary. Gifts of Many Useful Things for the Closing Hours. The bazar and doll show which was inauau rated at the Criterion theater, on street, on Thursday afternoon in aid of the Memorial hospital, bids fair to eclipse all pretieua efforts In this lin made by the charitable women who flOTOte a great deal of their time in brinsine sbout the success of one of Brooklyn's most de ervinz initiations. When the second day of tho bazar was opened ycsterJay afternoon, tho weather was quite gloomy and dark, and black clouds foreboded the heavy rainfall which followed later on in tho day. Notwithstanding tbis fact, bowerer, tho theater soon filltd up with a number of people who gratiik'd tho women manaserB of the bazar by patroniziiiK the many booths and tables with a generous spirit.

Tho inclemency of the weather in the erenins, of coarse, affected the attendance materially, but us there i ono more day left, tho bazar not closing until to nieht, tho hops is expressed that a Yinch lareer sale than would erdicarily bo had lo day will follow. So far, the success of the affair has been beyond the most sanguine of all expectations, )he receipts of the firm day bavinz reached I very hiuh finure. Tlie doll exhibition is ono if the most complete and attractive of any of its kind ever seen in this city. Dolls of every description and size can be seen here, from the very Bmall ones up to the bis beauty, which was presented to the bazar by Mrs. Georso J.

Gould, the daughter in law of Jay Gould. This doll is nearly as larce as a 6 year old child and is dressed in tho rich baby clothins of Mrs. Gould's first born. This consists of beautiful valon ciennes lace of a modern and costly pattern and a bonnet, which, to nso a feminine phrase, can nly be called exquisite. It is made of ostrich tips and silk.

Mr. Gould also sent a letter to Mrs. Blazo, who, tosether with her daufthter, Miss Lillian Blazo, devotes all of hr time to this branch of the bazar. In it she expresses the hope that the efforts of the manacors will bo crowned withsnecess. Another immense doll, which weighs at least fifteen pounds, is placed risht in front of Mrs.

Gould's dnation and also attracts a great deal of attention. Tho clothinz of a baby 1 yearB old fits it beautifully and on its tiny finger glistens a solid gold ring. This is a present of Mrs. I. M.

Ward. The little scene of hospital life at another table is pronounced "real cute" by the woman visitors, many of whom say that the wax flgni of tho uurs in the scene reiem bles the features of Miss Durham, the head nurse of the hospital, in a remarkable degree. Donations of wax figures are still comiue in and the exhibition by this evening promises to be even more elaborate than at any time of the show. A doll to which quito a bit of history is attached is oalled the Jennie Linrt doll on account of the manner iu whioh iis hair is dressed. It was drawn for at a fair held on Bleooker street, New York, fifty years ago and has been treasured as a sort of heirloom by the persons who have loaned it to the exhibition.

The managers report a large nunibar of dona tiens whioh have arrived since tho openiug of the bazar and which in a groat measure fill up tho space that has bean made vacant by the articles already aold. The utility table has been re inforcei by many prcBonts sent to tho theater and this, in fact, Is the general report made by all occupants of the booths. Mibs Wilder, a Bister of the celebrated humorist, Marshall P. Wilder, will be present to nicht to give a fow of her readings. Many people who have heard her say she li one of the best elocutionists in this vicinity and that she is gifted with much of that rare humor and wit which has made her brother so famous.

MrB. Annie lSymond, better known as Annie LouiBe Cary, tho well known singer, has asked to be enrolled among the annual bazar subscribers and in otb.tr ways has evinced a deep interest in the work undertaken by the hospital.

Horace Gunn Goes Gunning for Specters in a Georgia Homestead, but Sars That He Will Not Do It Again Some Inter esting Parts of His Experiences. The little hamlet of Oakville, lying seven or eight miles east of StateBborousb, on the Savannah river, ia muoh agitated at present over a ghoBtly sensation which appears to be more substantial thau ia usual with snch excitementB.

to use a paradoxical expression. About throe weeks ago tho family of a small farmer named Walsingham began to be annoyed by certain disturbances In their household matters, which they at first attributed to the malice or mischievous propensity of some outsider. These disturbances generally took tho form of noisos in the house after tho family had retired and the light was extinguished, continual banging of the tloors, things overturned, the door ball rang and the annoying of tho house doe, a large and intelligent mastiff. It was the oonduct of this animal that first caused the Walsinghams to behove there.was aomothing more in these occurrences than appeared ou tho surfaoe, though they were reluctant to attach any supernatural significance to them, being a family of education, practical persons and avowed ekepticB ou tho aubjeotof spooks, etc. Don Canar, the mastiff, would be soon to Btart suddenly from a nap and run at full tilt as if from some ono, or start suddenly back whilo walking leisurely down a path, as if he again met with some one.

But he soon lost his temper and varied these pacific proceedings by snarling at CTery door, as if he expected an enemy to enter, and often drawing back with a threatening bark and displaying fangs to warn his unseen annoyer from him. Ono day he was found iu the hallway barking furiously and briatling with rage, while bis eyes seemed directed to tho wall just before him. At last ho niado a spring forward, with a hoarse yelp of ungovernable fury, only to fall back as if flung down by somo powerful and cruel hand. Upon examination it was found that his neck had been broken. The home cat, on the contrary, seemed rather to enjoy the favor of tho ghost, and would often outer a door as if escorting some visitor in whose hand was stroking her back.

She would ako climb upon a chair rubbing herself and purring as if well pleased at the presence of some one in the seat. She aud Don Ct03ar invariably manifested this eccentric conduct at the same time, as though the mysterious being was visible to both of thom. This kept up until no doubt conld he entertained that tba animals saw something of a supernatural character, which was also making itself Tory disagreeable to the Walainghams. It did not long content itBelf with petty annoyances, but finally took to rouBing the family at all hours of the night by making Bucb a row a8 to render any rest impossible. This noise, which consisted vf Bhouts, groans, hideous laughter and a peculiar, most distressing wail, would sometimes proceed apparently from under tho house, aomotimos from the oeiling and at other times ia the very room iu whioh the family was seated.

One night Miss Amelia Walsingham, a young daughter, was engaged at her ttilet, when she felt a hand laid softly on her shoulder. Thinking it her mother or sister she glanced in the glass before her only to bo tnundorstruok at Beeiug the mirror refleot no form but her own, though she conld plainly Bee a man's bread hand lying on her arm. Sha'brought the family to her by her screams, but when they reached her all signs of the mys. terious hand was gone. On another occasion the girlwaa Btartled by beholding the knob of her door turn softly, the door open aud then close aa if someone had entered and shut it behind them, She strained her eyes trying" to make out somo form or the cause of the phenomenon, but nothing appoared.

She vacated the room, however, feeling sure nothing was in it with her. Mr. Walsingham himself aaw footsteps form beside his own whilo walking through the garden after a light rain. The marks were those of a man's naked teol and fell beside his own as if the person walked at his aide. After Borne minutes the steps left him aud led toward the house, where Don Cfosar was lying on tho front piazza.

The dog sprang up, barking furiously, but retreated aa the steps approached him. Mattera grew so serious that the Walsmehams became frightened and talked of leaving tho house when an event took place that confirmed them in this determination. The family was seated at th supper table with several guests, who were spending the evening, when a laud groan was heard in the room directly overhead. This was, however, nothing nnusual, and very little notice was taken of it until one ef the visit, ore pointed out a stain of what looked like blood on the white tablecloth, aud it was Been that some liquid was slowly dripping on the table from tho coiling overhead. This liquid was bo much like fresh shed blood as to horrify thoso who watched its Blow dripping.

Mr. Walsingham, with several of his guosts, ran hastily upstairs and into tho room directly over the one into which the blood was dripping. A carpot covered the floor and nothing appeared to explain the souroe of the ghastly rain, but, anxious to satisfy themselves thoroughly, the carpet was immediately ripped up and the boarding found to bo perfectly dry and even covered with a thin layer of dust. And all the while the flior was being examined tho persons below could swear the blood never ceased to drip. A stain the size of a dinner plate was formed before the drops ceasod to fall.

Thin stain was examined next day under the microscope and was pronounced by competent chemists to be human blood. Tho WalBinghamB left tho house the next day and since then tho place has been apparently given over to spooks and evil spirits, which make the night hideous with the noise of revel, shsnta and furious yollB. Hundreds from all over this comity and adjacent ones have visited the place, hilt few have the courage to pass a night in the haunted house. One daring spirit, Horace Gunn of Savannah, however, accepted a wager that he conld notBpend twenty four hours in it, and (lid so, though he declares that there is not enouch money in the county to make him pass another night there. Ho was found tho morning after by his friends with whom he mado tho wager in an insensible condition and was with difficulty brought out of his awooa.

He haB never recovered from tho Bhock of his terrible experience aud Is still confined to his bed snfforing from uervoua prostration. His story iB that shortly after nightfall ho endeavored to kindle a fire in ono of the rooms and to light tho lamp which ha had provided himself, but to his surprise and coniternation found it impossible to do either. An icy breath which seemed to proceed from some invisible person at his side extinguished each match as he lighted it. At this peculiarly terrifying turn of affairs Mr. Gunn would have left the house and forfeited the amount of his wagor, a considerable one, but was roBtrained by the fear of ridicule and of his story not being believed in.

He seated himself in the dark with the calmness he could and awaited developments. For some time nothing occurred, and tho young man was half dozing when, after an hour or two, he was brought to his feet by a sudden yell of pain or rago that Beemed to r.omo from under the house. This appeared to be the signal for an outbreak of hideous noises over the house. The sound of running feet could be heard scurrying up aud down tho fitaira, hastening from one room to another, as.if ono person fled from the pursuit of a second. This kept up for nearly an hour, but at last ceased altogether, and for some time Mr.

Gunn sat in darkness and quiet aud had ibont concluded that the performance was over for the night. At last his attention was attraoted by white spot that gradually ap peared on the opposito wall from him. This apot continued to brighten until it seemed a disk of white tire, when the horrified Bpectator saw that the light emanated from aud surrounded a human head which, without a body cr any visible means of support, was moving slowly along tho wall at about tho height of a man from the floor. This ghastly head appeared to be that of an aged person, though whether male or female it was difficult to determine. The hair was long and gray and matted together with dark clots of blood, which also issued from a deeo, jagged wound in sue temple.

The cheeks were fallen in antt the whole face indicated Buffering aud unspoakablo misery. The eyes were wide open and gleamed with an unearthly fire, whilo the glasBy balls Beemed to follow the terror stricken Mr. Gunn, who was too thoroughly paralyzed by what he saw to move or cry out. Fiually the head disappeared and tho room was onco more left in darkness, but the young man eonld hear what seemed to be half a dozen per sous moving about him, while the whoie house shook aB if rocked by some violent earthquake. The groaning and wailing that broke forth from overy direction was something terrific, and an unearthly rattlo and banging, aa of china and tin pana being flung to the ground floor from tho upper atory, added to the deafening noise.

Gunn at last roused himself sufficiently to attempt to leave the haunted house. Feeling his way along the wall, in order to avoid the beings, whatever they wore, that filled the room, the young man had nearly succeeded in reaching the door when he felt himself seized by tho ankle and was violently thrown te the floor. He was graaped by icy hands which sought to grip him about tho throat. He struggled with his unseen foe, but was soon overpowered and choked into insensibility. When found by his frrenda his throat wsb blaek with the marks of long, thin fingora armed with cruel, curved naili.

The only explanation that can be found for these mysterious manifestations 1b that about throe months ago a number of bones were discovered on the WalaiDgham place, which some declared even then to be thsse of a human being. Mr. Walsingham pronounced them, however, to be an animal's, and thoy were hastily thrown into an adjacent limekiln. It is supposed to bo the outraged spirit of tho person to whom they had belonged in life is now creating such cousteruatiou. Philadelphia Times.

"Hi yeel Hi yee! Two largo fat catB came running from the barn, straining every musole to answer the summons they had heeded. One was Stranger, a tiger striped, half Maltese cat, with the prettiest bead and eyes not in a picture. The ether was Tom, a calico cat of black, white and gray; a little less bid, but more active than Stranger. "These aro my pets," aaid Mr. Charles Walcott, whose inimitable call is given abovo and which ia aB familiar to the residents near tho corner of Illinois and Second streets, where Mr.

Waleott'a homo is, as tho gongs of the electric cars. "But these are more than mere pets," continued Mr. Walcott, aa he caressed them, to the intense displeasure of Max, his water spaniel. "TheBe cats are hunting cats aud retrieve small game better than the best trained dog. There's Max, a good retriever, but he's not in it with my two peta here.

Ib he addreaaiug the cata. "Do yon want a bird The cats evidently did, for they rubbed Mr. Walcott's troueerB and mewed so beseechingly that their owner Bteppod inside the door of hia house and seized a small rifle barrel Flobertgun. Tho sight of this brought the catB and tho dog both to their rear legs, tho cats crying and the dog barking in anticipation of sport. But Mr.

Walcott has been busy in his neighborhood for many weeks, and it was eoine time before a sparrow was found. When the gun waB sighted both cats crouched, lashing their tails from Bide to side. Their erea watched the spnrrow as it eat unsuspiciously in the tree, and at the snap ef the cartridge, Stranger was on the spot to get the bird as it fell. OE course, it must be parenthetically said, Mr. Walcott never misses a bird.

Hc'o been shooting too long to de that. But though Stranger got the bird she had to reliquish her claim to Tom, who carried it away and munched it regardless of tho annoyance which Max kept up. Another bird was found after much searching. Mr. Walcott shot this one at a distance of forty feet, and Stranger brought it back to him in a jiffy.

For tho performance aha got the bird as a lunch. "Now, that ia a sample," Mr. Walcott continued, setting his riflt down, "of the instinct that has been educated into these cata. Tho mother oat, Stranger, ia so named because she came hero one day a dirty and abused kitten. My children petted her and I had to keop her.

Tom is tier kitten and instinctively followed hia mother when wo went Bparrow hunting until he knew how to retrieve as well as bis mother. "How did 1 teach them? It was somewhat accidental. Being sick and confined to the premises, I used to shoot tho sparrows for sport. I would give them to the cat, and thus she learned to follow mo whenever I had my gun in my hands. When she had eaten one bird she would drop tho rest near me.

and now both she and Tom take it for granted that the first bird is for them. I believe that cats, properly trained, would make bttter rotrieveri than dogs. My cat Stranger will follow a wounded bird until it ia exhausted, or will go up int a tree after one. I have seen Stranger follow a bird a block until it dropped. She knows and Tom knows, too, when a bird is wounded.

They work together beautifully." All the neighbors will bear Mr. Walcott't statements out, and it is a common thing on the north side to ask: "Have yon seen Charley Walcott hunt birds with his cats Indianapolis Jfews. BAD FOR COLONEL BUB. A Little JBistako That Cost lagcrsoll 810,000 or 13,000. Charles H.

Arms, assistant United States attorney for the District of Columbia, was found at the Grand hotel this morning and told the following interesting reminiscence of Colonel In gersoll and the late John McSweeney, tho wily orator and lawyer: "When Colonel Ingersoli undertook the defense of DorBey of Star route notoriety ho was given a check for $50,00 0, with tho understanding that he was to employ some one to assist him and pay for such eervioes. Ingersoli determined to employ the late John McSweeney of Woostor, O.i who waa the foremost criminal lawyer in the United StateB. Ingersoli had never met McSweeney, but he telegraphed him to come to Washington. McSweeney, although a full blooded Irishman, had spent several years at a Gorman university and looked like a German. Dorsey's confidential man, George Eakers, was a German and waa expeotod tho day before McSweeney would arrive.

As Bakers had some important knowledge Colonel Ingernoll waa anxious to see him. Ho went up to tht Arlington, where all of the Dorsey party were quartered, and awaited his man's arrival. Soon there entered a tall, stout man, with hia trousers tucked into a pair of No. boots and his olothing bespattered with mud. Hi hair fell in ringlets to his shoulders and his whole appaarance was that of a journeyman Texas cowboy.

The stranger had scarcely had timo to look around before his hand was in tho grasp of tho famous orator, who said: "I am Ingersoli." "YeB," returned the other, "I was loeking for you." "Ah! I thought ao," ohucklod the colonel. "Come right up to the room." and without giv ins the guest time to register he escorted him to the room. "One of the first things I wanted to Bay to you, Mr. Eakera, was in this matter of my foe. It won't be worth while to mention the amount I received to ilcSweonoy whon ho comes, as ho will naturally do his utmost.

I propose to employ him as cheaD as I can. Of course I inust have him and if it comes to a pinch I would pay him tab, 000 to assist me, but I thiuk I can get him for $5,000, perhaps, and I am satisfied he won't refuse $10,000 in such a caae as this if he thinks that is all he can get. He's an awful stickler for fees, though, I hear. So just oblige me and don't tell him what I got." "Oh, certainly not," said the staid individual. "Well, I'll see you again in a few miuutoB," aaid IngerBoll, as he left the room.

A Bhort time after that ho saw the name John McSweeney on tho register and sent up hia card. He waa directed to tho samo room. "Whore's McSweeney? inquired Ingersoli, looking around hurriedly. "That's my name," aaid the aunposed Eakers, with a comical drawl that grated on Ingersoll's ears. What followed need not bo told.

Of course they divided the feo equally Seattle Press. DIDN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT. J'lio fSloude You hx Alau aud Ike Talkative Stranger. A. large, middle aged man, with a kind of how are you everybody look on his big, round face, ateppod into a South side street car yesterday morning aud sat down by the side of a laddery youth whom, after a few remarks of a preliminary nature pertaining to the weather, be addressed iu this style: "I reckon you woro born and raised a blonde, warn't you, young man?" "I I suppose so," answered the other.

"I don't often make mistakes about things of that kind," rejoined tho large man heartily, "I can spot a bloudn as far as lean boo him. And thero'B another curious thing about that," he added, turning half round in Mb soat, crossing one leg over the other and growing confidential. "Nature never makes any mistakes, either. When nature gives a young fellow a sort o' pinky akin and light brown hair she doesn't givo him a blue blaek mustache. That's why" The slender youth hastily oroased the car and sat down on the other side.

"You're right," said tlie cheerful middle aged party, following him over. "It's altogether too sunny on that side. Now this thing of a blue black mn.Htache on a blonde face, you know, with light eyebrows aud" "I'd like to know what difference," interrupted the now painfully blonde young man fiercely, "it makes to you" "Certaiuly, certainly.
