ALIVE IN HER STROUD.
A Memphis Woman Prepares to Join
Her Dead Lover.
SHE WISHES TO DIE, ALSO.
She Meets His Spirit at a Seance, and
It Says That He Is Waiting
for Her.

: Memphis Special: In linen shroud
Mrs. Louis Hale lies awaiting death.
sit is coming, it is coming" she con-
stantly says as she lies with her hands
clasped over her breast.
Before her marriage Mrs. Hale had
loved young man and they were about
| to wed when death took him from her.
The blow almost upset her reason.
But time seemed to restore her men
tai health and her marriage to Hale was
| thought to prove complete cure.
s Recently a well-knOwn spiritualist
began giving lectures here. MIR. and
Mrs. Hale went to hear him. They
went with other members of the Asbnry
Methodist church.
All the party thought it great lark
to attend seance. 1t proved to be a
sad lark for Mrs. Hale.
In the darkened closet Mrs. Hale met
the spirit Of her dead lover.
She was claSped to his breast, and
words of fond endearment were breathed
in her ear. He begged her to come to
him in the spirit land.
Heaven is not heaven without you,"
the spirit said.
Again and again she visited her spirit
lover in the darkened closet. Her in
fatuation seemed to blind her. She
never realized that the words calling
her 10 another world were uttered by a
| human voice.
Day after day the mediums assistant
held her on his knee and told her how
lonely eternity was without her.
After a while the poor lady let all
earthly things go. She neglected her
household cares and became absorbed
i'll thin gS way beyond.
Then she got slate and pencil, and
closing her eyes woul jot down mysteri-
Gus lines and figures.
sit is only the upernaturally gifted
who can read,' she would say to those
about her.
For hours she would sit in a darkened
room and receive imaginary messages
from her old betrothed. Visitors came
to the house, but they never saw her.
The family retired from society, and
the house blinds were closed.
One day Mrs. Hale called her niece
Maggie to her and said, pointing to her
slate:
''This tells me that l will soon die. In
a day OF two the spirit will tell me when
l am to CO."
Maggie paid little attention to her
aunt's fancy, but the following day she
was again called to the lady's side.
THE spirit says L shall die ON Dee.
IS at o'clock in the afternoon" Mrs.
Hale said in solemn tones.
Mrs. Hale then prepared her shrOud.
On the morning of the 18th she drew up
a will giving her cottage to her two
nieces.
She then lay down to await for death.
AS the hour for her departure drew
near she was heard to pray.
81 Will be with you sOon," she said,
and smile was Oh her lips.
But the fatal hour came and went and
the spirit still remained on earth. For
hours she remained with her hands
clasped over her breast. Then she arose
and sat in chair.
Something that he has done has
angered the spirit ruler" she said.
HE will soon be forgiven and | shall
ascend to him.
Every afternoon at o'clock she lies
down in her Shroud, waiting to be
called.
The unfortunate husband is nearly
crazed with grief.

Chins From the Tics.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road
gives notice that freight received on that line
on or after March 2G will be Taybilled at the
advanced rates II being understood that over
charges on shipments which were actually in
transit prior to March 20 shall, on produc-
ton of the original bills of lading establish
ing the fact, be adjusted by correction OF
voucher.
The president of the Dakota & Great
Southern road, ROW being constructed from
Sioux City, To-, to Grand Forks, stated in a
letter dated March Is, that the company had
the funds at its command and expects to
build road this season from Tower City to
Grand Forks and that it will pass through
Portland, Oak.
The Burlington & Northern has contracted
for 1,500 freight cars to be delivered as fast
as possible. Last year there was hardly q
day that this road could not have taken out
from Minneapolis nearly thousand barrels
a day more than it did take, but was pre-
vented from doing SO by the lack of freight
cars.

HER LOVE WORTH $1,000.
A Wife Sues Her Parents-in-Aaw

Affections.

A Wife Sues Her ParentS-in-Aaw
for Alternating Her husbands
Affections.
ITHACA, N. Y, March IA young
bride named Sarah Hauser this week
sued her parentS-in-iaw, Aaron and
Nancy Hauser, for $4,000, because they
had robbed her of her husbands love
and society. The parents of the groom
are well-to-do people, residing in Gro
ton. and the bride is the daughter of a
man i'll good circumstances, whose resi-
denee is at LudloWVille. The moving
spirit in the case was the mother-in-Iaw,
Nancy. With ostensible maternal af-
lection she brought the couple to her
home and then proceeded to make
things decidedly uncomfortable for the
Young bride by telling her of rumorS
af1Oat rejecting on her character. The
upshot of the matter was that the young
couple left the home of their mother-in-
law and went to live at LudloWville.
A fortnight later the groom was en-
ticed away from his bride by his mother
and in company with his father started
for the West, thus abandoning the young
wife. The mother-in-law had stated to
several persons thatsh would separate
the couple at all hazards, and her
schemes seemed likely to be successful,
but the young benedict, who is not yet
out Of his teens. became homesick in the
West and pined for his bride, so that
within five or six months after his de-
parture he returned home to his parents.
The young woman, as plaintiff, at once
seized the opportunity to bring legal ac-
ton.
The defense endeavored to disprove
the allegations set forth in the COM
plant, but the jury evidently believed
that the young wife had been injured,
and hence brought in verdict in her
favor for 81, 900 and costs.

ACTING IN JAPAN,

A Shower of Hats, Coats and
Sashes Expresses the Approval
of the Audience.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Japanese school of acting might
be called the natural one, the whole pro-
gress of the play being carried on in the
quiet, even tones of every day. There
is little bombast OF rant, except in the
classical interludes, when everything is
as stilted and conventional as possible.
PathOS is always deep and long drawn,
and the last tear is wrung from
the eyes OF the audience, that re-
spends with handkerchiefs to the slight
est appeal to the emotional side. Trag-
edy is very tragic and murders more
CORY than we quite enjoy. Death on
the Japanese stage always results from
sword cuts, and the antics of the fenc-
ers, the wonderful endurance of the
hacked victims, and the streams of red
paint that pour from all over them be-
fore they die are rather too much. The
audience enjoys this, however, and they
shout, shrek and whoop with delight

BOUQUETS at Patti and queens draw Off
diamond rings and bracelets to hand to
Nilsson. A foreigner who saw
the rain of coats, sashes, ETC., falling on
the stage after a thrilling scene, tossed
his hat over, too. 1t was an old one
that he did not care for. He had soft
cap in his pocket, and he thought it
rather nice thing to be able
to follow the fashion of the
country. At the end of the play
the manager brought his hat to him
and asked for the SO. The enthusiast
then found that all the things tossed to
the star were merely pledges, to be aft
erward redeemed by money, the actors
having regular schedule, so much for
a coat, a kimono, sash and pipe, and
corresponding sums for foreigners hats
and loose articles. The enthusiast sadly
paid his $40 and took back his abused
hat, as the manager only bowed and
continued to hold it out in spite of his
generous protests about his wishing the
star to keep it as small souvenir.

teraay.

The Burlington & Northern seems
destined to become conspicuous in all
railroad matters in the Northwest. 1T
matters not whether it is acting in re-
gard to strikes, fixing rates or forming
new associations. Ever since the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy agreed to
Join with the other roads to restore
rates there has been good deal OF IN
terest felt as to whether 1t would again
guarantee that The Burlington d North
ern should maintain agreed rates III the
Northwest. III order to settle this point
Chairman Faithorn communicated with
General Manager Stone, OF the
Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy, ana re-
ceiyed from him q clear refusal.
Mr.. Stone says: Il do not undertake,
nor can this company undertake, TO be
responsible for rates to and from tne
Northwest in either direction. This
company agrees to restore rates TO ana
from all points on its own lines. but this
does not include the Chicago, Burling-
ton 81 Northern.' The Chicago Times
does not consider this as settling the
matter that the Burlington q Northern
will stand out, and says: ''ThiS need
not be taken necessarily as conclusion
that the disclaimer prevents restora-
ton of rates in the Northwest. On the
contrary, it is probable that the advance
will be made about April l, and the
Burlington & Northern will become a
party to it. The company has already
assented on condition that seaboard
freight to and from st. Paul be prorated
via Chicago, and, as far as can be
learned, none of the competing lines
have any objection to the adoption OF
this principle. This being the case, the
way is open to an advance" A meet.

the various roads, to be held in Chicago
tomorrow, to consider what course to

A BOY PREACHER.
The Eleven-YearO Old Wonder Who
Is AStOuishin~ Kentucky

L ne Eleven. ear Olu w O1uCE w LO
Is Astonishing Kentucky.
Great and unfagging interest, says
dispatch from Williamstown, KY, has
been manifested nightly for the past
week in the eloquent and wonderful
preaching Of the boy preacher, Rev.
Pascal Porter, who lives near Madison,
Ind, and is only eleven years old. Min
listers in the prime of their ministry,
ministers grown gray in the service of
their Master hung with rapture upon
the words that fell with burning elo-
quence from his youthful lips.
such crowds assembled to hear the
preaching of one person. People OF
every creed and denomination and with
out creed, and men who had not en-
tered a church for fifteen years at
tended nightly and were thrilled with
interest and filled with wonder. He is
handsome boy, with brightsbroWn
eve and Well-shaped head. Out of the
pulpit there is nothing in his manner or
speech to indicate his wonderful gift,
but in the pulpit he is veritable giaht..
He possesses most wonderful memory
and great gift of language, and his ser
mons were logical. doctrinal and deep,
and on each night he spoke on an en-
tireIy different subject. While all here
proclaim that his preaching is wonder
fui and interesting, the community is
about equally divided as to whether his
sermons are original or whether he has
committed to memory the sermons of
another: but all admit, whether they
are original or not, that the boy
preacher is wonder and prodigy.
He is never at a loss for the right
word in the right place, and so thor
oughly doec he seem to understand and
appreciate his subject THAT if he were
not a boy the originality of his dis
courses would never be questioned.
The interest in them is not by any means
confined to the fact that they are deliv-
by boy. If they were delivered by a
minister of mature years and with the
same degree of eloquence all would be
no less deeply interested.
He was born near Madison, Ind, Nov.
6, 1876, and is the youngest OF a family
of seven children-three boys and four
girls. AS soon as he was old enough to
talk he manifested a desire to preach
the gospel and make the world better,
bat was not permitted to enter the min
istry until he was nine years Of age.
His education is limited, only having
advanced as far as the fourth grade in
the public schools.

NTGLYNN As A SLUGGER.
He Floors Big Brute and Saves a
Small Baby.


There was crowd of noisy, pushing
bows, men, women and girls on the plat
form of the Third avenue elevated rail-
road station one night this week, says a
New York letter. 1t was few minutes
after O'Clock. There was a scramble
for an incoming train. Men showed
and pushed, boys yelled and jOstled, and
crowd. 1t was an ordinary night scene.
AS usual, the strongest pushed the
weakest aside. In the crowd was a
stOck-buiIt man with a clean-shaven
face.
Don't push" shouted the guard.
:sEasy, friends" shouted the clean
shayen man. Il beg of you be easy"
BY this time the train had stopped.
The gates few open and narrow pass
age was cleared for those on the train
to leave it. Before the last person, a
young and pale-faced woman with a
year-Old child in her thin arms, had
stepped off, rush was made by those
on the platform for the car.
Take your time there" yelled the
guard, and he slung his burly body
against the throng to prevent them
squeezing the woman's child. But no
attention was paid to his words. On
the rushing, roaring army OF men, boys.
women and girls, and down went the
woman and child in the crush like SOL
diers before Napoleon's old guard.
There was a mOmentary panic. A
stified % save my baby? My God, don't
kill me y from the fallen woman, and
then the clean-shaven man swinging
his big arms over his head, yelled,
Stand back, all of youn' i'm tone of
command and pushed his way through
the crowd. He reached the woman just
as a strapping big, ill-natured brute of
a workman tried to step over the pros
trate form into the car.
Back, sir" yelled the clean-shaven
man.
go to - returned the burly
brute.
Then big fist shot out in the air. 1t
was aimed by the man with the clean
shaven face. 1t landed squarely on the
brute's jaw with whack that made the
platform tremble. Another, and another
whack followed it, and six feet of So
called manhood lay sprawling on the
platform. The crowd had fallen back.
The clean-Shayen man stopped down
and tenderly picked up the trembling
child. The guard helped the mother to
rise, and slowly, with the utmost eau
ton, passage-way was opened for the
party. The big man picked himself up,
vowing vengeance iii expletives that
would have make pirate blush with
| envy.
ssWho hit me?'' he shrieked. II can
kill the man, and FL do it, too" and he
pranced up and down like wild horse.
81 did" said the clean-shaven man,
as he returned after leaving the mother
and child in place of safety; land it's
the best job I've done in many day."
The big brute covered before the
speaker. who stepped inside the car and
pulled out an evening newspaper, and
the train ratified on.
His name?
Oh, yes. 1t was Rev. Father Edward
McGlynn, who was deposed from st.
Stephens church for espousing Henry
Georges land theory, and as soon as the
passengers saw his face by the light of
the car lamps they gave him ire
mendous cheer. The burly brute got
out at the next station.

SEVEN LOVELY IRISH GIRLS.
They Live in Howell and Feed on
Potatoes,

She was woman of fifty years, but
still strikingly handsome, says a Dublin
letter in the New York Sun. Her eyes
would have done credit to Corsican
beauty, and her figure was rounded and
shapely. The villagers were massed in
a confused crowd in the shelter of a
bowlder gazing efficiently at the visitors
from afar Mrs. Finnegan adj
dressed them in Irish. and called
out the names of her seven
daughters in rapid succession. One by
one they came out of the crowd and
Jagged toward us bashfully. AS they
drew near they formed veritable
beauty show. They ran. ed from eight
to twenty years in age, and four of them
were magnificent looking women. They
would set East Broadway ablaZe and re-
duce the men about town OF Grand street
and the Bowery to pulp in single Sun
up-bare legged and bare armed.
They stood erect, but their heads
dropped slyly, and they did not raise
their eyes till their mother spoke, when
the lids were raised in unison. and a
battery of appalling effectiveness was
turned On us.
''Sure," said the mother, turning to
me, ''they're fit t. make their livin' in
Ameriky; amt they, sur??''
''They're fit to marry milliOnaireS."

Davitt, suddenly.
The question plunged Mrs. Finnegan
into deep thought.

softly, ''is somewhere-O. yes!" ~
She dived into her cabin, dragged q
recumbent figure vigorously out in the
daylight. and, pulling him into an up
right position, leaned him against the
wall.
"God speed you, Mr.. Davitt," cried
Mr.. Finnegan, courtesying promptly,
''may vel heart be open to the poor of

"He's timid," said Mrs. Finnegan con-
fidentially; "wus hit wild club whin
