Roundsman Moore is a courageous Off

is afraid of 1t is ghost. This morning at
O'Clock when Officer Kflburn entered
the station house to report the rounds
mau was found sitting in the chair
with his eyes swollen TO twice their nat
ural size. PeIspiration was rolling down
his cheeks, aud he was shaking like a
person suffering from chills. Moore could
not talk, but managed to point upstairs.
Kilburn rushed up the flight OF stairs
and returned unharmed. This brought
Moore to his senses and in language
which made the front door rattle and the
gas 90 out he described the ghost he had
seen in the officers waiting room balf an

Kilburn laughed, but Moore was Sc

Governor the necessity of giving by legis-

vice require, from among those boat
keepers who by long and faithful service,
sobriety aud exemplary conduct, after
full examination, may be found worthy

board says. is an entire failure, and un-

of the State government In compara-
tlvely few years the State of New York
will have a monopoly of this business.
Many of the pilots are getting old, and
at the present time, when the full mem
bership as compared to New York should
be fifty-six, there are hut fifty-one. with
no means to recuperate. Since 1887, when
seven apprentices were credited upon the
Associations books, all have been strick.

since that time, only one Of whom can be
eligible as pilot during the next three

There were no deaths on the force dur

Property to the value OF more than S5O, goo

Mrs. Mitchell. an aged invalid, who re-

rescued Just in time TO save her life. Sew

nearly all their household effects.

were consumed or damaged beyond re-

When the fire broke ont, there being no

nefore You Clean House.

Long before the calendar says IL is time
to begin house cleaning, says The Ladies
Home Journal, you should look over the
magazines, papers, disabled furniture,
discarded garments and household orna-
ments, which even in twelve months ac-
cumulate so wonderfully. Be brave and
do not save an indiscriminate mass OF
articles against the possible needs of the
seventh year Of which we hear SO much.
Give away the best of the old garments
and sell the rest to the junk man: The
magazlnes and papers which you do not
intend to have bound or utilize in your
scrap book, will be eagerly read in some
hospital or other institution. Even the
furniture and ornaments VIII greatly

tents of trunks and boxes. Dispense
with non-essentials and systematize the
remainder, and your reward Will have q
