MRS. BRADLEY's GHOST.
1t Walked as Soon as Mrs. Bury Got
Behind in Her Rent.
From the Nsw York Star.


Red-faced and ponderous Mrs. Bury, who
weighs about $50 pounds and lives on the
first floor of the rear tenement-house on
Railroad avenue, Jersey City, next to Mrs.
Reynolds intelligence Office, appeared be-
fore Justice Winfield Scott Weed Thursday
and complained that the house. which is
only two stories high, was haunted oy the
ghost Of a Mrs. Bradley, a little English
woman who died Of child irth in one of the
upper rooms during the ever-memorable
blizzard of last spring. 1t was said at the
time that cruelty accelerated her death. as
she was compelled to sleep on the floor about
the time her baby was born
The rooms are now occupied by another
woman, who does not seem to fear gdostly
visitations, but Mrs. Bury is apparently
more sensitive, and she asked that Justice
Weed set the machinery of the law in mo-
ton to bag the ghost. She decl red that
poor little Mrs. Bradley, with her wee van
baby in her arms, moves constantly up and
down the scene of her earthly sufferings and
untimely death with heartrending look of
grief and suffering on her shadowy features,
now caressing the little spirit form with all
mothers devotion and again raising her
eyes to look reproachfully.
Before the new tenant moved in Mrs.
Bury expressed desire to occupy the upper
rooms with her family, consisting of hus-
band and son, but as she had not shown the
landlord, Mrs. Devlin, the color of her
money for some time, Mrs. Devlin, who oc-
cuples that part of the front house, OBJ
jected. Tie ghost had not then begun to
walk.

TIGHT SALOONS, NOT PEOPLE.
Nobody Gould Work the Growler
Yesterday-A Quiet Sunday.

"
Nobody Gould Work the Growler
Yesterday-A Quiet Sunday.
1t was a quiet Sunday yesterday. The
saloonkeepers took q holiday for the first
time for many years. The $50 fine assessed
by Mayor Lester last week sent a chill up
the spine of the snare fluid dispensers, and
it was disappointed creature who tried to
work the GROWER yesterday.
The back and trout doors of the sa-
looms were closed tighter than clam,
and the window blinds we're hard down. Old
topers went from one place to another
satisfied that they would hit the right door
after a while, but they had to do without
their leverage until after midnight, when
many of them found their way to the all
night saloons and drank between drinks.
Even the private keys wouldn't turn some
locks that used to yield.
Many of the saloon keepers staid at home
and got acquainted with their families.
Many good customer fingered long on the
street and lane waiting to slip in, but it was
whisky and beer everywhere, and not
drop to drink. Stimulants could be had
only at the Oglethorpe Concordia park,
Tybee ard Thunderbolt, and in spite Of the
threatening weather the out-of- town resorts
were fairly patronized, late as the season Is.
There was one saloonatic in the eastern
part of the city who thought he could es-
cape the vigilance Of the spies, and he will
find his name on the information docket
this morning and prepare to go down in his
pocket for fifty.
The city was almost painfully quiet yes
terday, and drunken sailors and colored
men, a sight so often seen on the Bay and
other thorSughfares, were not met with
There was not a single arrest last night up
to midnight.
There were six arrests during the day.
principally the results Of the imbiba ions of
Saturday night, and the jug and bottle
that did not run dry in time to sober up the
offenders for Sunday decorum.

dread reaper will materialize and exact the for

The First Mugwump.
L. @. BedeH in the Chicago Tribune.

d u Ltt1btE tTI Vtt CTbbttbUU ITtOUTIB
The excitement over this years presi-
Dental election induced me to bring forth
and investigate with unusual interest a
'musty package of old newspapers" relative
to the campaign of 1910, when Tippecanoe
and Tyler, too" was the war cry of the
Whip party. NY father, Scion Robinson,
published at that time in Lake county,
Indiana, a small paper rejoicing in the
name of the Great Western. In ono of his
issues, in speaking editorially Of the demo
cratic candidate for congress, who repre-
scented the party Of the ''silk-stocking arts
tocracy" in those days, he makes use of this
sentence: Then the great mugwump was
delivered of a speech which the faithful
loudly applauded."
This is the earliest record of the word we
have yet seen, bringing it back to 1910.

opening tonight. The company was booked
here for two nights but Manager johnson
has taken the Jacksonville date, aud the
company will play three nights engage
ment the last night being a benefit per-
Torrance forNthe Jacksonville sufferers.
The play is q spectacular melo-drama
One of the chief charms is said to
be its realistic mounting and the specialties,
as they are called in the profession. Mr.. New
ton Beers and Miss Campbell, who play the
leading roles, are both clever artists, but
they do not have to carry the burden of the
play upon their shoulders The sup
port, the Charleston critics say, is most
excellent. The scenic effects are striking
and original, and the entire play most de-
lightful and pleasant surprise. Mr.. Beers
and Miss Campbell were repeatedly recalled
in Charleston, and many of the cast also re-
ceived hearty applause The fourth act is
an interlude, as it were, and very agree
able aud pleasant interlude. Here the
action of the drama is interrupted and the
audience is given half hour OF music and
mirth. The sale of seats is fatteringly
large, and the indications are for large
houses.
