A STAGE QUEENS CoNvERsIoN.-
Miss Letla Meredith, who played the
part of Statacia, the Queen of the Gold
en- Realm, making her appearance in
tights in the living pictures of the Black
Crook Co. at Cleveland, is going TO
renouuce the stage, will embrace Juda-
ism and get married to New York tea
merchant named Lipman. She has
consulted Rabbi Machol, of the Anshe
Chesed congregation, and to him un-
folded a romantic story. She loved
and was beloved by New York young
man whose family name is Lipman.
The barrier of religion divided the low
ing hearts. The parents of the young
man refused to give their consent un-
less the young lady agreed to renounce
Christianity and embrace Judaism.
This she consented to do.
Miss Meredith's object in calling was
for the purpose of ascertaining what
steps are necessary to embrace the
faith of Israel, and the rabbi told her
that there were but few requirements.
Miss Meredith agreed to go through
the ceremony early Saturday evening,
but at 8 o'clock the minister received
a letter from her to the effect that she
had just received a telegram from her
intended husband, asking her to post
pone the ceremony of conversion. The
original programme was for the couple TO
go to Cleveland in two weeks and
get married by Rabbi Machol. Miss
Meredith wrote that Mr.. Lipman de-
sired her to 60 through the ceremony
of conversion in New York in the pre-
sence of his parents to be followed i'm
mediately by the wedding.

PEOPLE WHO SEE GHosTs.-Have
you ever seen ghost? Such, in simple
words, is the extremely interesting
question addressed by the Society of
Psychical Research to some 1900
persons, male and female. The results
are included in "a Report on the
Census of Hallucinatio ons," published
in the latest edition of the proceedings
of the society. The question, ofcourse,
was framed in much more elegant and
detailed form than the somewhat abrupt
inquiry into which most people will
translate it, but whether We call the
spook Giving being" or San inani-
mate object or "a mysterious voice" ii
comes to pretty much the same thing
so long as there is no external physical
cause to account for the phenomenon.
And now for the results. Out of the
1900 persons interrogated, 1876
answered in the negative, leaving only
IL meager per cent. of people who
had been favored by extraordinary ex-
perience.
This is, at least, consolatory for those
who still believe in the sanity of the
human race. But the relative proper
ton of men and women who saw
visions and dreamed is still more re-
markable. Only 655 males answered
in the affirmative, but as many as l ,029
females. And yet there are some
people who get angry if it be asserted
that women are more credulous and
hysterical than men. Clearly there is
some work for the "new woman" to do
in the conversion of her neurotic sisters.
