Il Mystic Phantom.
So. PARIS, May 20, Il

SO. PARIS, May -, 1915.
a few days after Easter Sabbath an
artist WAS invited to Photograph the Con-
gregational Church al South Paris, with
the flowers just as they were arranged on
the previous Sunday. Three different
styles were taken-One, a view from The
outside, another, view OF the interior
with the flowers in front OF tue pulpit and
one taken after the flowers had been re-
moved The views OF the interior disclose
portions of the side galleries as they have
remained Tor nearly half century. In
the first Che one having flowers In tEonD.
in the gallery on the left and near the
eud of the same, may be distinctly ira ced
the outline OF human countenance to-
gether with the upper P, rtien oil the body.
In this style it mostly resembles a woman
with hat on, but With closed eyes and
slightly bending forward as if iJtent on
the words spoken from the pulpit below.
Her nose. cheeks, chin and neck. and the
generous form OF her shoulders are very
marked. Sitting there in the gallery
pew, she seems more like an inhaoitant
OF a purer world than likeness OF one
who moves about and enjoys life In our
social world.
In the other interior view-the one
without the fowers-is distinctly seen
the form OF an elderly man (for his hair
is gray, quite thick-set, and having
full smooth face; his body erect. his head
slightly inclined backward. he gives Us
the impression that he. too, has long since
passed away. but now. as the old church
is about to be repaired, he has returned,
to once more view the ancient structure.
There were quite number present when
the views were taken but all say that
the pew in which the mystic form appears
was empty at the time the camera wss
set. The matter is at present wrapped

by rigorous abstention- from party strife.
Instead, it has done its utmost to unite all
Republicans and to compel them to sub
ordinate their opinions on all minor ques-
tions to the duty of saving the country
from Democratic revolution.
V. The very existence Of such a party
as the Democratic again proves itself to
be, Is a greater danger to the country than
can come from the errors of any law
abiding party. So long as revolution Is
threatened, every other question is sub
ordinate. The President and Republican
leaders in Congress have no right, by any
dispute on other topics, to run the risk OF
electing single Democratic revolutionlst
to the next House. The people have no
right to forget that any Democratic can
didate, however fine his pledges or con-
servative his record, must be expected,
under the temptation ofparty success and
the pressure of party discipline, to break
every pledge, forfeit all honor, forget every
conviction, and vote as the madness OF
his party may dictate.

MANY excellent men hsve had the
impression that il greenbscks were sim

would bridge over the difference between
paper and gold, even when that differ
ence was rs much as twenty per cent
To satisfy this class that 1t would have
little effect ~ 10 this. Sec. Sherman two
or three weeks since, when greenoacks
were only half a cent less than par. is
sued al order Tor the equal exchange OF
the new silver dollar (Which Is receivable
for duties) tor gIeenbacks-which prae-
tically allowed the payment OF duties IN
greenbacks. The result was that not q
dollar OF gold was paid at the custom
houses. and no silver dollars went into
general circulation, orig enough being
taken in exchange for greenoscks 10 pay
duties. while greenbacks and gold have
not cJme mill nearer 20 each other. In
other words, il has been demonstrated
cODclusively that receiving greenbacks
for duties, when their volume Is so large
as II i, does not have the effect TO In
crease the value OF the greenOack hall

advertising was good thing as ladder.
it was of no great benefit to him. as his
name sold the goods. As test. one de-
partment only of his establishment was
advertised. It's business overtopped that
of the others SO Immediately and so
largely, that he concluded to get the full
power OF his name-it must appear in
