AFTER THE "EvIL EYE"

The Marquis of Butte Backs the Society For
Psychical Research In Little Filler.
The Society For Psychical Research,
at the moment when the supply of
ghosts and the society s funds were fall
ing short, has had the felicity Of find
ing new field of inquiry and the mon
ey with which to explore it, They have
to thank the Marquis Of Butte for both
favors. The marquis is solid, solemn,
millionaire peer and devout Catholic
who has always taken a languid interest
in spooks.
Reading recently a newspaper para
graph describing case in the sheriff's
court at Oban, in which the defendant
was said to possess "the evil eye" he
wrote to the secretary Of the society
offering $500 toward the cost Of an in
quiry into that malignant optic in par
ticular and the questions Of second sight
and other Scottish superstitions in gen.
eral.
The society greedily snapped at the
offer and forthwith organized an expe-
dition, which is now wandering about
Scotland on lookout for evil eyes,
seers, witches and such like. Reliable
information as to the progress made
has not yet come to hand, probably be.
cause q selfish reporter who wants to
score beat with complete story is
attached to the expedition, but it is ru-
mored that the Oban defendant with
the evil eye was tracked to his lair and
gave the investigators a remarkably
warm reception, from the effects of
which they are still suffering. 1t lis said
also that the marquis has been rcbuked
by his spiritual advisers for displaying
unseemly and premature curiosity in
ghostly things, but that is probably IL
bel upon his lordship and his chaplains.

TROUBLE IN HIGH lIFa.

The Grandson of Sir Robert Peel Criticised
For Courting Newspaper Notoriety.
Bobby Peel, about as we'll known
o young fellow about town as London
ever produced, has come over here with
the avowed determination to marry Miss
Kittie Sanford, the daughter Of the
Adams Express Sanfords, who are of
course awfully rich.
These are the same Sanfords whose
action ruined John Hoey, and who have
pursued the remnants of his estate with
singular persistency.
Young Bobby Peel's ambition is a
very laudable one, as Miss Sanford is
very pretty and accomplished girl and
an heiress to boot, and better than all
has evinced very decided partiality
for Mr.. Peel
At the same time many old fashioned
people will object to the methods en-
ployed by Peel to overcome the opposi-
tion of Miss Sanford's family.
He has taken the newspapers into his
confidence and makes long statements
about his own worthiness and undying
love and calls his sought after relatives
all kinds of names for denying his suit.
1t is doubtful if he would try such
game at home in England.
If young Peel really loves Miss San
ford as he declares he does Tin the news
papers,, it would be more dignified for
him to keep her name out of public
journals.
Love is passion that needs no adver-
tising, and sweetheart's name is not
the one to be banded about in daily
print.
If young Peel loves Miss Sanford as
much without as with her prospective
fortune, he can elope with her at any
time-provided she is willing.
Love laughs at locks and bars, but
grows cold under newspaper interviews
and long winded statements.
Another alternative also presents it.
self to Mr.. Peel.
If he loves Miss Sanford as much as
he says he does (on paperh why cannot
he settle down and do something to
prove his love?
The Sanfords object to him because
he has been ne'er do well and has cost
his father lot Of money to keep him
going in the society in which he is en-
titled to live.
But by all odds my advice to Bobby
is to keep out of the newspapers.
It would be simply horrible if he
published some of Miss Sanford's let
ters to prove how she loves him. Yet
he seemed to be just on the verge Of
such insanity yesterday. - Charley
Knickerbocker in New York Recorder.

The Car Cure,

We do not know, but we strongly
suspect, that our electric railways are en-
couraging the car cure. In fact, Eu-
ropeans are gravely discussing the effects
of electric railways on rheumatism, and
many sufferers take the car cure with
regularity and supposed benefit. They
get as near the motor as possible and
cast longing eyes on the trolley. AS a
noted and eminent English physician
gave as the results of his life's observa-
tion THAT fully two-thirds Of the all
ments of humanity were purely imagi-
nary, " we can readily see how the car
cure for rheumatism is very efficacious.

More Sugar Wanted.

Eugene Field says that it has long
been his opinion that the advocates OF
woman suffrage should abandon the
rigorous tactics they have Intellectually
used for SO long a time and adopt the
milder tactics of persuasion. The wom-
an suffrage cause needs less virility and
more femininity, less jaundice and more
sugar. Bright eyes, pretty compilations.
jaunty figures and stylish costumes are,
always were, he thinks, and by God g
grace always will be. more potent in
fuences in determining the opinions
and actions of men than the keenest wit
and the most convincing logic.

VIII Miss Pence.

The next house will miss the soaring
eloquence and quick wit of Lafe Pence
of Colorado, who has decided not to be
a candidate for reelection. Mr.. Pence
won his spurs by tripping Bynum in
the silver repeal debate and later was
conspicuous when the Coxey horde con-
centrated on Washington. Mr.. Pence is
a lawyer, but has not allowed that fact
to interfere with his being Populist.
His'reason for deciding not to return
