VERSATILE OSCAR WILDE.

The ErstwhiIe Esthete Not as Flabby as
He Used to Look.
Boston Herald.
The American public seems to have put
Oscar Wilde down as an effeminate crank
But he is really great man. A new book of
short stories by Oscar Wilde has just been
published in England and the criticisms of it
seem to be most favorable. Indeed, Oscar
Wilde is so versatile in his literary facility
that he stands almost, if not quite at the
head of the younger English writers of the
day. Andrew Lang, Stevenson, Jerome K
Jerome, and Henley are, perhaps, the other
Englishmen whose names are most frequently
mentioned, and whose work has the most in
fuence on the thought of the day.
There are many Others who have risen to
great prominence in one or two fields of liter
ature; but these four men are each blessed
with wide culture and versatile pen.
Oscar Wilde has attained, perhaps, more
varied success than his competitors, for he
has written successful novel, successful
play, and a successful series Of essays, besides
having published some quite lovely poetry
and having been recognized as good jonrn-
alist and clever editor

A GHOST that ROBBED.

Square, London.

Record of an Interesting Case In Soho
Square, London.
A ghost robbed n house in Soho
square, London, in the year 1904, in a
most approved or disapproved fashion,
and the case is worth reporting A
gentleman who appeared to be quite
wealthy took rooms in a fashionable
house in the locality mentioned, accord
ing to a contemporary. A short time
afterward he told his landlord that his
brother was dead, and asked permission
to bring the body to his rooms while
the arrangements for interment were
completed. Permission was granted,
and a handsome coffin arrived, contain.
ing what appeared to be corpse in a
long white shroud.
The coffin was placed in the dining
room. Next night, after all had retired
savs the lodger and servant maid, ar
apparition appeared to the latter. The
apparition was tall, specter-like, fig
ure, with every appearance of a ghost
The maid rushed up stairs to her mas
ter and mistress room, followed by the
ghost, who mounted sentinel at The
door, contorted his features and waved
his hands. The maid crept under the
bed and her employers hid their face:
under the bed clothing.
At this time great noise like furni
ture moving was heard in the house
and the three terrified objects came t.
the conclusion that the house had beer
taken possession of by regiment o.
spirits.
AT last all was quiet, the ghost hat
disappeared, and search was made
The house was found to have beer
stripped of every particle of furniture
and all the valuable family plate hae
gone, too.
No psychological society investigated
tho phenomenon, but the police did, ant
the lodger and sham corpse were both
hanged at Tyburn.-N. Y. Continent
