Ghosts on the Hudson.

To NE EdIfor'
In the Summer of 1885 | started with
tiye friends on cruise up the American
Rhine on the sloop yacht Eddie, of the
Oceanic Yacht Club.
We left Jersey City at 10. 80 p. NJ. and
with light breeze started up the river.
When opposite Steyens's Castle, of Gut
tenburg, the breeze died out and left us
without a breath of AIR. MY friends de-
ciied to 20 below and leave me al the
wheel 1t was then /. 30 4. ST.

the stern OF the yacht.
Suddenly, right out from under the
blutts of Steyeus's Castle, shot a small
white skih. In the skilf two women were
handling the oars. without even a sound
from the rowlocks. Lashing the wheel. /
pushed the boom over TO port and hailed

They were then astern of me about ten
yards. AT the sound of my voice both
women looked mp and never will forget
the fearful sight that met ny gaze Roth

IKE nuns or Sisters OF Charity, in deep
black. Their faces were nothing more
than skeletons faces. with deepset hurn-

that was enough for me.

the sklt with ewes as big as moons.
Meanwhile the boat with its deathlike

A GLORIOUS EXAMPLE.

Arverne-bv-the-Sea the youngest of the
fashionable seaside resorts has done a
veterans work. which entities her TO n
crown of gratitude.
Arverne-by. the-Sen. in its gay and
happy whirl of recreation, bethought
itself Of the sick babies who are not by
the sea- Arvernes cheerful mind took i'll
the picture of the little infant sufferers In
their stuffy. dingy rooms. with no pure,
blue sky arching above their heads. and
no fresh, salty breeze from tho azure sea
making roses blossom on their cheeks.
The really generous being, who is in
he enjoyment of great content or some
particularly pleasurable mood, does not
rown or feel vexed when the misfortune
or misery which others are enduring is
presented to his mind.
No. His instinct is to feel that since
he is so richly blessed and so much good
fortune has fallen to his lot, no should
try and show his appreciation Of it by
Tightening tho burdens that others are
bearing. He is 30 happy that he wishes
to shed some happiness on Others.
That is what Arverne did. Old and
young, silvery haired matrons and rosy,
dimple6 Srls-yes, the little tots who
still plsAybh their dolls-all threw them
selves into scheme to help the sick
babies. These warm-hearted Arvcrnians
got up an entertainment which netted
$500 for the Free Doctors Fund.
This dainty bunch of homes by the re.
sounding waves of old ocean has done
something which her older rivals, New
port, Long Branch. Saratoga and the
other swell resorts have yet TO equal.
All praise to you. Aryerne- by the Sea!

He Couldn't Even Fool Greenhorn

The anxiety of newly married couples

When the train reached Ashtabula n

THE COMMODORE DIDN'T PASS.

Admiral De Horsey's Experience
with Port Royal Soldier.
Admiral De Horsey tells a good tale
against himself and the writer knows it il
true, says an exchange. Nearly twenty
years ago the Admiral WAS Commodore at
Port Royal. Jamaica. The sentry duty
there is done by one of the West India
regiments. which are entirely recruited
from negroes. These men make capital
soldiers and obey their orders to the
letter.
The Commodore thought one day that
he would walk to the point of the spit of
land on which Port Royal holds a pre-
carious anchorage, more than half the
town having dropped into the sea during
an earthquake two centuries ago.
He passed through the barracks and
reached the point. Then there came over
him wish to explore that narrowest
peninsula of the British Empire. A large
brick building attracted his attention. Ii
was reall the powder magazine. As tho
Commodore approached dusky sentry
challenged:

'Fnend,' answered the naval officer.
You earn pass hyar," continued the
sentry, bringing his rifle down to the
charge

angry sailor.

the Commodore, nov fairly bursting with
anger.

African.

officer, convinced that the information
would leave open the road to him.

Senator Stanford's Secretary's Joke
on a Newspaper Man.
The following conversation occurred
over the telephone wire between the
house of Senator Stanford and the office
of the Washington Post on the evening
the Senator returned from California:
The PUSt-Is that Senator Stanford?
Mr.. Stanford's private secretary with a
mental reservation Yes.
Can | send reporter up to interview
you on the silver question SehatorI"
Il don't know"
:" | say can | send reporter to inter
view you ON the silver question ?"
You'll have to ask your editor"

don't know what you can do. Ask
your editor
" But represent the editor. am the
editor. Can you tell me whether can
send man up to your house? 2"
You'd better ask your publisher if
you don't know"
'What?"
- say if your editor doesn't know
what you can do perhaps your publisher
does. "
:" But you don't understand. want to
know If | can send man to your house" I"
Perhaps You want to know If you may
send man to the house. Yes, suppose
you may"
will you see him z"
That's an entirely different matter.
He can learn that by coming up"
After n little more sparrIug the Post
sent man to the Senator's house and got
the interview, but the telephone editor
has come to the conclusion that even a
Senator can be too exact in the choice of
language.
