seen no explanation of the cause OF any

they were of incendiary origin. IL IS proo-
able that they were the result of careless

IT would not be surprising if the insur-
anoe companies should increase their rates
for cotton in warehouses. They are not
slow to avail themselves of an excuse 70
raise their rates. 1t is probable that mana
gers of warehouses take every possible
precaution against fire. If they DO not
thew ought to. This years eXpe-
rience is sufficient to teach them the
necessity of prohibiting smoking and the
use of matches in their warehouses
Writers in insurance journals are begin
ming to inquire whether it pays to insure
cotton at any price in warehouses that
are not built in fire-proof compartments.
The time is not distant when both insurers
and insured will demand the safest ware
houses that can be constructed.

CATCHING A GHOST.
The TerrOrs Created by a ShrOuded Spec
tire in an Ancient Graveyard.


About two miles from AndOyer and per-
haps five miles from Lowell stands an old
stone church that has seen a hundred
years feet over its antiquated roof, and in
the nelghb0rlng graveyard IePv7C tho
bones of genuine descendants Of Plymouth
pilgrims.
Until within the last few weeks this re-
spectable old edifice and its surroundings
were considered eminently guileless and
innOcuOus, But about December l de-
cided sensation was created by the APP
Dearance of what was called a bona fde
ghost, A sheeted spectre had appeared a
number of times in the road leading past
the graveyard, and had frightened many
horses and more men almost out OF their
alleged wits. On several occasions the
apparition was chased by adventurous
rustics, but it always succeeded in elud-
ing their grasp and disappeared in some
mysterious manner within the church
tower, a solid structure rising some 90
feet from the ground, the top surmounted
with a bell said to have been cast from
Lord Corvallis cannon.

now been traced to him.
Leroy was man of some means, but
his property is now in the hands of the

JEwEssEs BY CONVERSION.
Three Young Girls in White who Entered

ArtD cTO AefUtWs
sThree Christian young ladies Will be
converted to Judaism this Friday evening
at s O'Clock in the Temple Gates OF Hope,
Eighty-sixth street, above Lexington
avenue" read the notice.
'eThree young ladies,'' said Rabbi
Browne at the temple last evening to a
large congregation, shave been instructed
by me for the last six months in the faith
of Israel. | have examined them and
found them worthy TO be accepted as jew
esses."
The three young girls, attired in white,
were standing in a row before him. One
of them was about u years of age; the
other two were under 20.
cit is of your own free will and accord
that you are here to embrace the religion
of Judaism ?" the rabbi asked them.
eyes, SIR" they responded.
eIn the name of Jehovah the God of
Israel, you promise solemnly, in the pre-
sence of God and His people, to adhere to
the teachings of the religion of Israeli"
''Yes, sir"
s'You will faithfully observe the lessons
you have received. and so demean your
selves as to be worthy of Gods church, so
help you God?"
Eyes, sir.v
81 will state, as l have stated often"
continued the rabbi, "that Judaism
teaches no dogmas or mysteries. Juda-
ism does not damn those that are outside
of our religion. One of our first lessons is
that the righteous of all nations are des-
tined to be saved, even like we ourselves
are, though we only have that covenant
which is the historic, oldest covenant in
the world. Now | will give you the bene-
diction," and he held his two hands eX-
tended over the girls.
Rabbi Browne said, when questioned,
that the girls were sisters. He under
stood that they had been Catholics,
though their mother was of Jewish de-
scent. 1t was the first time that such
converts had been received. They had
not been solicited, and it was only after
repeated solicitation that he had consented
to receive them.

Dakota's Governor.

The material out of which territorial
Governors are made is not always the
best. Every once in a while one of these
officials goes wrong. A patient and torgiY-
ing administration tries to cover up the
delinquents croOkedness, but does not
always succeed. Gov. Ordway, of Da-
kota. the land of the big wheat farms, IS
lust now irving to make the President be-
lieve that he is a saint, while the D2-
kotians are asserting, in lengthy petitions,
that lie is a very wicked sinner. The
charge against Ordway is that he is try
ing to amass wealth by appointing County
Commissioners who are pledged to locate
the county seats of new counties in places
where the Governor has bought
up good share of the land.
The charge, Of course, remains
to be proven, but there doesn't appear to
be much doubt that damaging testimony
viii be forthcoming when it is called for.
The Governor is fighting back and does
not hesitate to present his accusers IN
ANYTHING but an enyiable light. The peo-
pie of Southern Dakota, he says, are per
iurers, forgers, regulators and generally
scamps of every degree" Ills story IS
that he has conferred on them whatever
blessings they enjoy. The wide difference
of opinion between the Governor and the
Dakotians makes it evident that the days
of usefulness of the Governor are over.
He is in Washington trying to patch up
the holes which the indignant Dakouans
have made in his record, and he ought to
be allowed 10 remain there. The policy
of filling the governorships Of the terrific
ries with broken-down politicians and po-
HticaI favorites is a vicious one and ought
to be abandoned. Able and honest men
can be obtained for those places and the
people of the territories are entitled to
