GhOStS Disappearing.

The breed of ghosts is running down
and out, there is no doubt about it.
There was time within the memory
of many Of us that n ghost had some
style about him. We used to know OF
haunted houses that we could put our
hand right on, where windows were
shaken by unseen hands-farm hands,
perhaps; where doors opened at dead
hours of the night, ard pale ghosts,
candle in hand, looked in to inspect the
condition of things. There were local.
tiles, too, where they were seen very
often, sometimes on q white horse
which snorted fire
Children used to huddle in the cor.
ner to hear those stories, and then the
blood did not stagnate. No, indeed it
coursed very lively through the veins
at these recitals. 1t is so different
now. Those good old ghost stories
which grandmas used to begin with
when | was a girl" are all laid aside,
as ghosts have been laid, " not by holy
water but by science. Tell girl Of
the present day about ghost with a
fiery breath being seen down in lonely
swamp at night, and she will immedi.
ately proceed to give You scientific
explanation of the ignis fdtuus, and
like as not hasten down there all alone
to investigate the phenomena.
There isn't decent ghost to be
found now. The old New England
Primer is thing of the past, with its
skeleton and scythe and couplet;

The large equipment of arms for
the officers and prlvates of the United
States infantry is ga spontoon and a
sword or hanger as he may elect" for
the former and "a musket or fore.
lock with two spare fiints, sufficient
bayonet and other wsrlike gear" for
the latter. The law designating such
arms for the country's soldiers was
passed by congress in 1889. By an
oversight The law was never repealed
and is the law of the land to-day. The
law, however, has been a dead letter
for three-quarters of a century.
Changes were made from time to time
through rulings by the war depart
ment and by reason of the nation
trying to keep up with the times by
purchasing improved arms, but The
law stands like solid rock just the
same as it did century ago. Just
what the lawmakers meant by "v:her
warlike gear" is unknown at present.

Crowds attended the funeral of
Colonel Goodloe, the dead Kentucky
duelist Tuesday afternoon, and it is
said 10000 people were along the
line of march. 1t was not mere Curl
esity which drew the crowd either, as
might be supposed, but rather it
seemed as if the people were anxious
to show in someway that they con-
demned such practices and we're desi-
rous of giving the condemnation ex-
preston. Many spoke of the affair
and it was generally conceded that
Kentucky had been called the "dark
and bloody ground" long enough, and
it was high time to change the appel
lation. The world at large is of the
same opinion.

Senator Wade Hampton has wri

Senator Wade Hampton has writ
ten a letter to Hon. John Wanamaker
in regard to a pos.office, which it ap-
pears he had been promised for a
friend, but which went elsewhere, and
among other things says:
"The newspapers state that besides
managing the great department over
which you preside you are running a
Sunday school in Philadelphia. and it
occurs to me that you might with
profit to yourself select as the most
appropriate subject of a lecture to
your pupils the instructive story of
Ananias and Sapphira. This would
give you a fine field for your eloquence
in explaining to your young charges
the Importance of combining them
selves to the truth-except when some
fancied advantage might be obtained
over a political opponent"
While it is possible Senator Hamp-
ton had just cause for indignation, yet
it betokens q very small mind which
twits man of his work in Sunday
school and the better class of people,
no matter what may be their partisan
views, will look upon Senator Hamp-
toms attack, in this particular, as sense
less and uncalled for.

Columbia, Mo-:

The following is a dispatch from
Columbia, Mo-:
"A case of special interest TO the
newspapers and county courts of Mis-
souri, was argued in the Boone county
circuit court to-day. The county
has for several years construed as dis
cretionary the statute regarding the
publication of detailed statements of
the receipts and expenditures of the
county, and has failed to publish such
statements. The Columbia Herald
called the attention Of the people to
the matter, and a number of the lead
ing citizens of the county united in a
petition to Judge Burkhart praying
for the issuance of peremptory writ
of mandamus compelling the court to
publish the detailed statement. The
matter was argued this forenoon by Col.
Squire Turner on behalf uf the court,
and Messrs. III. B Babb and Well
ington Gordon for the petitioners.
Judge Burkhart decided that the
statute was plainly mandatory, not
simply permissive, and ordered the
issuing of the writ of mandamus
prayed for. This disposes of the mat
ter. as 1t is not probable that an ap.
peal will be taken"
The thanks Of the people are due
to Editor Stepens of the Herald for
his timely action in the matter and
the decision of Judge Burkhart will
also meet with approval. The BAzoo
has for long time urged the publ
cation of detailed statements of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the county
by the court, believing that the peo-
pie have rights in the matter which
cannot be overlooked and hence it is
glad TO know that it is possible to
compel such statements by man.

Judge McConnell's decision In the
Cronin trial concerning the admission
of evidence which bore upon the
CIan-na Gael organization, because
it expelled DR.. Cronin four years ago,
will be regarded as wise one, since
it would merely drag out the trial
without materially helping the testi'
mony either for or against those &C.
cused of Cronin's murder. The
State has only one more witness in
the case and it is a matter of great
concern at present, what line of evil
dence the defense will introduce. Ii
is probable that whatever it may be,
the plot to kill Crenin, which the
State has shown, will be difficult to
disprove.

aged to kill himself. The pecu-
liarity of the mans act would seem to
carry out the idea that all suicides
have faint of insanity in their blood
and the question again come up con.
corning their responsibility. That a
man could be in full possession of his
senses and take three days in which to
kill himself, when he could have
killed himself in few minutes by the
use of a bullet, seems incredible and
yet the deliberate purpose shown
would indicate that his mind was still
capable of forming such a purpose
and hence not overthrown. "Science
