TO PRAY OUT THE DEVIL
Proprietor Mitchell Wants
the Temperance People to
Take PythagoraS Hall.

There is a man who lives in New York
and whose name is Frank Mitch ell, who
owns the building ct No. $50 Ne wark In
which Pythagoras Hall is situated. Mr..
Mitchell some time since purchased the
property from Jersey City man. At
the time of its purchase q druggist occu>
pied the lower floor. Mr.. Mitcnell
came to buy the property in
peculiar sort of way. lie was
conversing with a certain. gentleman
who refuses absolutely to allow the use
of his name. aud Alderman Max Sallia-
ger, one windy March day about one year
ago. Conversation drifted towards real
esGate TRANSACTIONS, aud mention was
made OF the place in question. The man
had never seen the property nor heard of
1t, as he recollected, but he was struck
singularly by the fair price wanted for
It. and made the purchase through
Alderman Sallinger. The day of the
transaction the druggist moved out. He
had not heard Of the new purchaser and,
being dissatisfied with the proprietor
who ad charge of 1t, decided to clear
out. Mr.. Mitchell was slightly sur
prised on learning that the man had
vacated.
THE Hoo-Doo.
He soon had a tenant, however, in the
person OF Jack Lynch, who set up beer
drinking establishment. Soon after. the
place caught fire and considerable dam
age resulted. Mitchell footed the
bill. The fire spread to adjoining
houses. They were not fixed
up again and they stand unoccupied
yet. The fire occurred last fall. Since,
Mitchell has been unable to find renaut
Ee has idea that Lynch hoodooed the
place somehow. He imagines that spirIls
are having fun in the building the whole
time, and he cannot induce any body to
pay rent and inhabit the place. 1t stands
now unoccupied. The front Is painted
green, and the place does not look as If
