New YoRK. July 18.-Pilot Pbelan, of
the pilot boat Caprice, who brought the
bark Belt into port, reports that on
July Is, in latitude $3.50, longitude II 40,
he sighted from the masthead at long
distance balloon dragging its car along
the surface of the water. He gave
chase to it, but at shutdown, when about
threequarters of a mile from it, it coll
lapsed and disappeared from sight.
There seems to be no longer any reas-
son to doubt that Hogan is dead. Pilot
Phelan WAS seen at the offices of the
pilot commissioners, this afternoon. He
said: "At $3.50 O'Clock on the afternoon
of Tuesday last. when We were
about 100 miles south-southeast
of Sandy Hook, running before a
stiff twenty-five mile north-northwest
breeze, the lookout sighted TWO
schooners and peculiar looking obe ct
lying near them on the surface of the
ocean. We made up 10 the object and
at about half after made her out to be

diameter.

about 100 yards from it, the balloon

"When we first sighted the balloon
and drew close enough to make her out
she WAS egg-shape and Juggling very
hard at what must have been the car.
About five ropes held her to the car
which was buried several feet
under water. The balloon was

it collapsed at the end, and assuming the
shape of a pumpkin arose III the air.
There Was nothing hanging to the ropes

bound northward. We cruised over the
spot in which the balloon ana its car
parted. There were no signs of life, no
evidence that human being had found
his death in the water"
Hogan WAS As years of age and made
over 400 successful balloon ascensions
and thirty-two parachute jumps in the
twenty eight years he has followed the

as the foremost aer6naut In The world.

he NAV be alive even if injured and

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert Well-known journalist in
agricultural circles writes April 18th, 1859: Some
five years ago l wrote letter stating that Swift's
Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time I have had no return of the rheumatic
troubles, although frequently exposed to the iuiu
ences that produced former attacks. Several Of my
friends had similar experience, and are firm in
their conviction that ;. 5. s. brought permanent
cure. The searching power OF this medicine is
shown in the fact that it developed a scrotulOus
faint that conspicuous in my blood over thirty
years ago, and has removed the last trace OF 1t.
have also tested S. 5. s. tonic after severe
attack Of lnalarial fever which kept In bed for
three months, and am convinced that its curative
and strengthening properties insured ms recovery
from that Illness, as was il very low condition of
health. SIDNEY HERBERT, Atlanta, Ga.

Not So Much Money in Opera.
London CORRESPONDENCE.

LJLtlOu
The English papers say that Carl Rosa
left fortune of over $780, 900, and from
this fact adduce the assumption that En-
glish opera can be made to pay hand
somely if properly managed. But lit
tie correction is necessary. Carl Rosa
received the greater part of that amount
from Parepa at her death-it was said
at the tune from 1925, 000 to $3.50, 900
with the condition attached to 1t that
the interest should be devoted to the
development of English opera. Rosa
made money during the early part of
his career, when he held small, mex
pensive company, but his profits were
not 50 large when he went into grand
English opera and ran opera in London
for month during the season. Rosa is
proved to have been 4 good steward, to
have carried out conscientlously the
wishes of his wife, who lifted him first
to fame and fortune. 1T willscarcely do
to say, however, that his large fortune
was gained from English opera.

We Won't Go Home Till Morning"

From the Louisville PCst.
An interesting history of an old and
vell-bnown comic tune was given by
Prot. Ensel, music teacher, in q
speech in the music teachers assOci-
alton Yesterday. Hc said when the
army of the first Napoleon was in Egypt
in 1899 the camp Tor awhile vas near
the pyramids. One afternoon about
sunset ths band was playing. The in
habitants of the desert had collected
near and were listening to the music
Nothing unusual happened until the
band struck up tune which we now
hear ;tnder the name of I'VE Won't go
home Till Morning" Instantly there
were the widest demonstrations of JOY
among the Bedouius. They embraced
each other and shouted and danced IN
The delirium of their pleasure. The
reason was that they were listening to
the fsvorite and oldest tune OF their
people. Prof. Ensel tLen stated that
the ttte hsd been taken TO Europe
from Africa in iti0 eleventh century by
the Crusaders, and had lived separate
ly in both countries for over 100 years.
This is certainly enough to make We
Won't 70 home Till Morning" a classic.
Its origin Is more of mystery than the
source of the Nile.

His Proper Sphere,

An Alabama man who wanted to
find out what profession his son was
best fitted for put him in room one
day with Bible, an apple, and a
dollar bill. If he found him. when he
returned, reading the Bible he would
make clergyman of him; if eating the
apple, farmer; and if interested in
the dollar bill, banker. When he
returned, however, he found the boy
sitting on the Bible, with the dollar
bull IN his pocket, and the apple almost
devoured, and so he decided to make a
politician of him.

CINCINNATI, O., July 20-A police
court jury which tried Moritz Eichler,
proprietor of beer garden, for keep

hearing uncontradicted testimony from
several witnesses that they saw the

he opened his place for business on Sun

NJ. AssIEFF, young Russian officer of
dragons, has just performed an extraor-
binary feat; he has ridden from Pultava
to Paris in thirty-three days, by way OF
KIef, Cracow, Bohemia, Dramstadt,
Luxembourg, and Rheims. This throws
other feats of the kind into the shade,
and the Viennese, who is now en- route
from the Austrian to the French me-
troTolis in a cab-a matter of twenty
days-will be rather disappointed when
he arrives in Paris to find that he has
been forestalled by the "bold dragoon'
hailing from the Steppes of Muscovy.

n Haunted Hnuso

Chattanooga Cor St LOUIS Globe Democrat
| lhifteeh years ago three men were
hanged on Sand Mountain Tor burning a
| barn Two years ago nelghbor
named Freeman died and confessed the
crime. lie stated that two of the men
| -Gossett and Williams-were with him
at the time, but that the other man.
Smith, was not present and knew moth
! ing OF 1t. The affair created consider
able sensation at the time, but nothing
was ever done toward removing the
| stigma on Smiths name by filing the
confession for record, as was thought of
at the Tune, or by having q funeral ceTe-
mony performed over the grave, as
WAS also suggested.
lew days ago a man named Beam
was riding on horseback in broad day
light past the house in which Freeman
died. lie heard words in angry alter
| cation proceeding from the building, IL
which no one now lives, so far as is
known. He dismounted, and taking
pistol IN his hand went TO the house in
order to separate the men, thinking
that he could brighten them away with
bis pistol. lie opened the door and
walked III, but nothing could be seen.
| The voices seemed to come from the
wall OF the room which he was in. Sud-
| denly, however, a dark cloud gathered
about the apartment and a strange
sense of fear took possession of him.
| He fled to his horse and mounting rode
rapidly to the nearest house. Summon
| ing assistance he returned to the house,
there being ten men In the party
They could neither see nor hear any
| thing as they entered, but as soon as
they had fairly got into the room 1T be-
gan to grow dark. A cloud began TO en-
velop the entire place and an indetinabe
sense OF fear TO creep over them. They
could see shadoWy forms moving about
in the room, but could not distinguish
what they were. One of the men tried
| to light match, but after several had
been blown out when struck, the party
lett the house as rapidly as possible,
fully convinced that something was
wrong, although wholly unable to de-
teTmine what 1T was.
Since that time several have visited
the place and all have the same expert
ence. No blows are struck, buI the
quarreling is incessant until a person
enters the house, when the cloud APP
pears and the room becomes dark ~
the middle of the day. The mystery Is
u explainable, and 1t is believed by the
neighbors that Freeman's spirit and the
spirit of the martyred Smith are quar-
reling, and that neither will allow the
other to rest in peace.
