berries. They are suffering greatly and
another day or two without sub

Coxeyites were committed to the House
of Correction yesterday. Being without
visible means of support the Justice held
that they came under the vagrant law OF
the State.
General Coxey paid flying visit to Camp
Lost Liberty, near Highland, yesterday.
He spoke to his half-starved followers. tell
ing them that the outlook was very dis
couraging, and that hereafter the men
would have to secure food as best they
could. He said he had done all for them he
could. and he had not received enough
money to pay his railroad expenses while So

country had promised aid. but as soon as
he got out of the towns in which
heihad spoke he had forgotten, He left for
Massillon. Ohio, and the men do not believe
he will ever return. Jesse Coxey, his son,
who has been in charge for some weeks, has
also gone to Massillon.

no use for Frye, Calvin and the rest of the

The Street and Water Commissioners met
this morning and took determined stand to
put an end to people using water and never
paying for it.
By resolution, which was unanimously
adopted, the Water Registrar was
directed to notify the Water Assessor
of every consumer who is in arrears on
August l. If a prompt settlement Is not
made or steps taken to liquidate the indebted
ness the water is to be cut off This action
is taken with view of preventing the Water
Department from running behind.

partnent running behind every year." said
President Macarthur this morning. IF
people do not intend paying for the water
they use the city mas Just as much right 10

LEGACY OF THE OLD BOARD.
''The Water Department was and is in
deplorable shape. The old board left thou
sands of dollars of bills for US to pay, and l
and my colleagues have determined
the department self sustaining.
If the water thus used is paid for there VIII
be no occasion for complaint about the de-
partment in future" The Commissioners
are in earnest and intend having their

EPIDEMIC OF CRIME In INDIA.

A mysterious epidemic Of crime is running
like wildfire throughout all India. Trees
are everywhere being daubed with slime
and filth in which COW hairs are mixed. The
Mirror asserts that the practice has grown
out of the slaughtering of kline by the
Mohammedans. this being religiously op-
posed by the Hindus and having last year at
the festival of Fed led to bloody riots be-
tween the sects Twenty Sadhas, religious
men OF the most ancient order, who 90 not
care for rewards and punishmenfs of this
world, and hold their lives very cheap, were
taken in the act of daubing trees. These
men are held in high respect even by the
Mohammedans and their persons are re-
garded as sacred. The Indian Government,
therefore, has presented to it a most serious
question in dealing with them. Phuddet-

NEW YORK, July %, 1894.-Mr. H. o.
Havemeyer returned this morning after
few days absence from the city. Referring
to the proposed placing of a IS per cent,
ad valorem duty on both refined and raw
sugar, he says
''There are at least fifty articles indispens-
able to and used in the manufacture
of sugar from the raw material. These
articles, under the proposed tariff bill,
are assessed from 25 to 10 per cent.
the result of which is to increase
the cost of manufacture of sugar by more
than one-eighth cent pound, and the diff
ferential allowed in the Senate bill is merely
in the shape of compensatory duty against
the increase of cost OF manufacture as stated
above"
Referring to the difference between the
specific and ad valorem rates, he says:-"It
is impossible to adjust specific rates
to an ad valorem system. 1t merely dis
guises the fact that many grades of
raw are taxed disproportionately to the
higher ones and is only advocated by those
who make the higher grades. The ad va
loren is the only just and equitable way OF
assessing duties and is neither i'll favor OF
nor against any grade OF raw. Naturally
the discrimination under specific
form of duty, against any particular grade
of sugar, would place the American retiner
at disadvantage to his foreign competitors
in that particular grade. Refined sugar is
not raw material and was never intended

A PALACE OF GHOSTS.
Haunted by Spirits of Women Who
Poisoned One Another.

Haunted DY Spirits OF women VINO
Poisoned One Another.
In the midst of the old ruins and palaces
of Italy, stained with countless deeds of
blood, it remains for one modern structure
to be known particularly as the home of
ghosts.
Above Agerola, which itself is almost di-
rectly above Pranjano on the southern side
of the peninsula. stands an enormous palace,
visible from the sea at great distance. 1t
is known as the Palazzo degli Spiriti (the
palace of the ghosts, and l once took the
trouble to climb up from Prajano, and go
all over it. 1t is entirely deserted, and has
neither doors nor windows, "a building al
most royal in proportions and plan, stand
ing on a vast terrace overlooking the sea, by
no means ancient, and in some parts deco
rated with frescoes and stucco work, which
are fast falling prey to the weather.
1t was built by a parsonage known as
General Avitabile who came to a tragic end
before he had completed his magnificent
residence, and whose heirs are, I believe,
still quarreling about the property. while
the building itself is allowed to fail into
ruins. 1t would be hopeless to attempt to
disentangle the tales told about the family
bv the simple hill folk There were women
in the case, who poisoned one another and
the General, and whose spirits, venomous
still, are believed to haunt the vast halls and
corridors and staircases and underground
regions of the place.
Whether they do or not, a more appro-
pirate place for hobgoblins, banshees. ghouls
and vampires could scarcely have been
created by a diseased imagination in night
mare Even at midday, under the'southern
sun, the whole place seems as uncanny as a
graveyard on st Johns eve. Bits OF stair
case lead abruptly into blank walls, passages
end suddenly in the high air, without window
railing or parapet. Lonely balconies lead
around dizzy corners to dismal watch turrets
whence human voice could hardly find its
way to the halls within. The most undaunted
explorers of the Society for Physical Re-
search might learn what 'sgoosefesh' means
in such place as this. Century Magazine.

is told on Judge Durham. The incident is
said to have happened while he was Comp
troller of the Currency. One Sunday, SO
the story goes, the Judge, who is devout
man. went to church in Washington. The
audience was an inspiring one and the SER
mon a good one When the minister had
quit speaking, he said, 'Now, let us return
thanks to the great Comptroller" No soon
Ell had the words been uttered than the
Judge, who is gentleman of the old school,
arose and publicly thanked the preacher for
the distinguished honor he had paid him.
