American and Anglo-Indian Ghosts
The ghosts that wait upon Mrs. Be-
SAINT can't hold a candle to those that
attend upon Nine. Diss Debar. But
perhaps Anglo-Indian ghosts do not
care to hold candles. 1t cannot be a
very exhilarating occupation-unless
the hot tallow runs down upon the
holders fingers Then it is likely to
prove lively business for the mo-
ment. Spirits probably wouldn't mind
little thing of that sort, particularly
if they were ''spirits from the vastly
deep of Tophet. But that American
ghosts are superior to the Anglo
Indian product, as has been substan-
TALLY demonstrated, is probably due
to protection.
The demonstration began in this
city when corporation of American
ghosts took Madame Diss Debar,
who weighs over two hundred pounds,
out of Tavlor's Hotel and deported
her to Buffalo without material
agency of any known or visible sort
1t was the greatest beat on the rail
roads ever known, and If ghosts could
only be brought into competition
with the various traffic lines, rapid
transit and cheap freight would i'm
mediately become accomplished facts.
When Madame Diss Debar's ghosts
carried her to Buffalo they
clearly established their immense
superiority over Mrs. Besant's
spirits, who have thus far
only succeeded in carrying few let
ters, none of them weighing over a
pound apiece.
But more than this, when the Diss
Debar ghosts reached Buffalo with
their precious freight they immediate
ly caused the lady to disappear from
mortal ken-thus breaking another
Indian record, the much vaunted bas-
ket trick.
But that did not exhaust their abil-
ity. 1t now appears that the Ameri-
can ghosts carried Madame Diss Debar
to Chicago, where they palmed her
of as Miss Vera Ava, wealthy Eng
lish philanthropist, supplying her
with record that befooled several
wide-awale residents of Chicago, and
