Jesse Miller, farmer living in GreenvilIe
Township, Somerset county, Penn, is ready
to swear that his household is afflicted with a
witch. Some time ago he found a saddle
hanging on hook by the chimney. He had
placed it on the ballusters This occurred
three times, and every member of the family
accused solemnly declared that they had not
touched the saddle. Mr.. Miller took it 10

When Peggis Fell Dead

Mr.. John +. Fries tells remarkable story
in connection with the death of little Peggie
Miller. Peggie Miller will be remembered as
the little girl who played juvenile parts with
Joe Emmett, and who fell to the floor dead
while executing a dance at Williamsburg. N.
y, on the night of the 9TH instant. Mr.. Fries
has number of pictures of Mr.. Emmett sur
rounding large photograph Of Little Peggy
which she gave to him herself. These pic
lures were inclosed in a glazed frame, which
has hung undisturbed in Mr.. Fries room for
six months. AT about 10 o'clock on Wednes-
day, evening last this frame fell. the glass was
broken and the frame itself was shattered by
the fall. The strange part of the story is that
at the moment the frame fell little Peegie
Miller, according TO the dispatches, fell dead
on the stage in the Williamsburg theatre.

ALMOST simultaneous with the Rev. DIR.
Howard Crosby's denunciation, before New
York audience, of all theatres and theatres
unfortunately, his idea being that 'Even
the best of them (theatres) are haunts of
vice" the Rev. Thomas X. Bacon, of New
Haven, as learned and almost as influential a
clergyman as DIR. Crosby, was speaking from
the pulpit in another strain: "The church
has borne false witness against many worthy
persons, in that it has denounced all actors.
card players, billiard players and dancers, to-
gether with their actions and games. This
denuncialon is too sweeping and is conse-
quently UNJUST" Mr.. Bacon's opinion is
undoubtedly that of a majority of the people.
Discrimination should be made between good
and bad plays just as between good and bad
persons for associates. ....

Bernhardt Under the Shadows .,

Sara Bernhardt is peacefully gliding Under
the shadows while unavailing art still strives
with nature for its accustomed mastery in the
illusions of night She has passed through
plenty of tine distracting trials that wait on i'm
prudence in business, her jewels dead loss,
her debts a live and lively factor in all her
plans. But it is yet not that. Growing re-
dundancy of physic and a mental absence
from the scene unite to bring to her audience
sense OF change, consciousness of some
thing lost that is not jewels and that can not
be reclaimed. All who recall her know how
she filled the intervals of every scene, when
not of it, with the negative power of her
emotionalism. That gift has passed away,
gone with her trinkets, and in another season
The glamour will depart and all the enchant-
ments OF sense and soul dissolve TO empty
nothingness. So is it ever with the vanities of
the world

A commercial traveller who has had
long experience in the hotels of the north
western states, in an interview mentions
some twenty-five, in cities of medium size,
which are worse fire traps, If possible, than
the Newhall House. He considers the
hotels of the west as lamentably unsafe.
Advices from Iowa indicate that bliz-
zard set in last night, and extreme cold
weather prevails in the state. A cold wave
and high winds also infest Minnesota and
Dakota
Judge Rogers this morning, in the case
of Capely, keeper OF a gambling room at
the store, 175 Clark street decided that the
statute under which the city police sought
to destroy the gaming instruments taken
from his place, was unconstitutional: that
the city police had no power to execute a
warrant directed to the sheriff or constable
as the police found Capely dealing for a
game The court, nevertheless. decided to
hold him to the grand jury. The effect of
the decision is that gambling implements
may be destroyed only after the owners
are indicted by the criminal court.
Galena special: James FL. Earnest, of
Shullsburg, once a member of the Wiscon-
sin legislature and prominent democratic
politician and railroad man, is doubtless in
the ruins of the Newhall House.
Dubuque special: The fund started
here for their heroic fremen who labored
to save the inmates in the servants quar-
tiers of the Newhall House, is likely to
reach a considerable sum.

slightest supposition who the bodies are.
All remains found so far were discovered
in the excavations started from the main
entrance on Broadway. 1t is supposed
that many bodies will be found near the
area, back of the Office.
At meeting at the chamber of COM

YELLOWSTONE PARK.

The Tribune saws the form of lease for
the privilege in Yellowstone Park which
the secretary of the interior has drawn up,
has, s;ngularly enough. the approval of the
hotel men, who have already considered
themselves as good as in possession. It
may be taken for granted, therefore, that
the lesses have much confidence in their
own integrity and ability to give their
guests the worth of their money. The
contract seems to guard against the mo
nopoly of the park, and most important
clause is that which gives the secretary of
the interior supervision of rates at which
tourists are to be charged, and the plans of
