A PALACE OF eHosTs.
Haunted by Spirits of Women Who Pos-
soued One Another.

Haunted by Spirits Of Women Who Poi
soned One Another.
In the midst of the old ruins anS
palaces of 1taiy, stained with count
less deeds OF blood, Il remains for ON
modern structure to be kno~a Yer
iicularly as the home of ghosts. This
interesting building is described by
Marion Crawford in an article in The
Century devoted to the wonderful
italian coast between Sorrento and
Halerno.
Above Agerola, which itself is al
most directly above Prajano, on the
southern side Of the peninsula, stands
an enormous palace, visible from the
sea alta great distance. It is known
as the Plazzo degli Spirit (the pal
ace of the ghosts, and I once took
the trouble to climb up from Praja-
no and go all over it. It is entirely
deserted and has neither doors nor
windows, building almost royal in
proportions and plan, standing on a
vast terrace overlooking the sea, by
no means ancient, and in some parts
decorated with frescoes and stucco
work, which are fast falling a prey
to the weather.
1t was built by parsonage known
as General Avitabile, who came to a
tragic end before he had completed
his magnificent residence and whose
heirs are, believe, still quarreling
about the division of the property.
while the building itself is allowed to
fall into ruins. 1t would be hopeless
TO attempt to disentangle the tales
told about the family by the simple
hillfolk. There were women in the
case who poisoned one another and
the general and whose spirits, ven
omous still. are believed to haunt the
vast halls and corridors and stair
cases and underground regions Of the
palace.
Whether they do or not, a more ap-
propriate place for hobgoblins, ban
shees, ghou]s and vampires could
scarcely have been created by dis
eased imagination in a nightmare.
Even at midday, under the southern
sun, the whole place seems as uncan-
ny as graveyard on st. Johns eve.
Bits of staircase lead abruptly into
blank walls, passages end suddenly
in the high air, without window rail-
ing or parapet. Lonely balconies lead
around dizzy corners to dismal watch
turrets whence human voice could
hardly find its way to the halls with
in. The most undaunted explorers
Of the Society For Psychical Research
might learn what goose fesh' means
in such a place as this.

A Murderer May Inherit From HI. Victim

After six years litigation the su
preme court has decided the case Of
Ransom versus Shelenbarger, in.
volving the point of whether or not
a murderer can inherit property
from his victim.
Seven years ago Lee Shellenbarger
murdered his daughter in order that
he might inherit some valuable prop
erty left her by her mother. Hewa
convicted and sentenced to be
hanged, but while the case was pend
ing in the supreme court he was
lynched. Before this tragic episode
he had decided his interest in the
dead girls estate to his attorneys,
Frank Ransom and John c. Watson
The other heirs contested the at
torneys' rights. asserting that the
Jaw would not allow murderer to
profit by his crime. The attorneys
contended that in this country crime
worked no corruption Of blood and no
forfeiture Of property and that Ne
braska's statutes contained nothing
to prevent Shellenbarger's transfer.
The trial court found for the attor-
neys, but the supreme court reversed
this holding. Since then the person
mel of this tribunal has entirely
changed, and when the case came up
the second time the court upheld
the attorneys contention.-Lincoln

THE SILVER FAD.

The use of seed pearls with silver is noted in many brooches and trinkets.
 The silver slides for the wrinkled neck bands now in vogue show no decrease in popularity.
 Swords in silver are more prominent and undergo new enrichment, with turquoise, seed pearls and enamel.
 Silver gilt is decidedly on the increase. It is carried furthest in antique rings, copied from Indian designs, with colored stones sunk in.
 Clasps for slipper bows are in numerous enamel, with saw teeth that a spring lets loose and catches the ribbon in its grip.
 Among other conspicuous ornaments are the new long silver chains. Many ars punctuated with turquoise and pearl. But these arc no more attractive than those that depend on the character and plait of the chain alone.
 Beltpins have established themselves co long as tho present fashion in costumes continue. The advantage of the beltpin Is that when its use in the back is over it can come forward and adorn the corsage or pin the bsby's bib.
 Flower pins are among the most desira- ble of the novelties and bid fair to hold their own through changes of fashion. These are in enamel, bound with raised silver edges, and the enamel may be chosen to suit the gown or the hower.-Jewelers' Circular.

M.

No one could tell what proportion of the boats could be made ready. or how soon.

Never Could Spoon.

 Susie's fars turned as crimson as her jacket. Could he be in earnestt How delightful She really felt like grown up young lady in n novel. She looked at him with big, round eyes, but he was look ing at his oars, and his hat brim hid his face.
