s. Assuredly, herr captain, he re-

serve you and your men with some of
my new ale. Without giving them
time TO answer he hustled toward the
big butt IN the dark corner and straight
way dispensed generous measure of the
beverage to them. Not having such high
opinions of the power of his satanic
majesty as the citizens. they quaffed it
down, but pronounced it stale and fat
Then began scene of turmoil and
confusion, enough to make the vrouw's
heart break with anguish. But though
the iron bound linen chest was turned
upside down and emptied of its contents
in an unseemly manner, and though
closets were upturned, beds overthrown
and the whole house pulled out at cor
ners, she never murmured or complained.
But nothing was found, and though
the taproom was lightly passed over
there was no place in it that man
could hide-except possibly the big butt
in the dark corner. That, however, was
full of ale-for had they not drank some
of it?
And so the watch marched away emp
ty handed, and left to the host and his
vrouw the task of putting things to
rights.
The gray cloaked demon was seen
several times thereafter, but no con-
certed attempt was made to follow it
up. About two months from the time
of the fruitless search the few faithful
adherents of the Wursthaus noted that
both Hans and his wife wore very grave
faces. In a few days they announced
that young traveller from Boston was
dangerously ill in the darkened bedroom
up stairs, and the Dutch physician
who had but Just arrived from Holland
was sent for. He came again and
again, and the faces of the worthy
couple showed deep sympathy for the
youthful guest. Finally the doctor came
in the middle of the night and staid till
morning, but the soul of his patient fed
before the dawn.
Heavy grief o'erhung the Schneist
household, and the Wursthaus was
closed till after the funeral Even then
old Hans showed a settled grief in his
altered demeanor.
observant neighbors noted that the
big butt in the corner was never used
after the soldiers drank from it, and
when few months had sped, and COM
parisons came to be made, it was found
that the gray cloaked phantom had
never been seen since the young stranger
was taken sick. 1t was also commented
upon that no one came from Boston to
inquire about him. But there was a
many who believed till their dying day
that it was genuine ghost that had
been seen by Jacob Twiller ct al, GID

Tho submarine Detector.

When the sinker trailed at the bot
tom of the sea approaches mass Of
metal-a lost anchor, a parted iron
chain, broken telegraph cable; still
more, sunken ironclad-the electric
indicator in the mahogany case on ship
board sounds more or less loudly, ac-
cording to the nearness of the sinker to
the submerged mass, and so the posi-
ton of the latter can be pretty accurate
" ascertained before divers are sent
down.
Much time wasted in painful CROP
ings in the dark by the divers under the
special difficulties of their condition
may thus be avoided. The submarine
detector was primarily designed to en-
able warships TO discover anchored tor
pedoes, and the connection established
by the sinker was intended also to serve
as a means of firing in safety a torpedo
discovered by the "detector. Cham

LIVER REGULATOR, the .sKING OF
LIVER MEpIoINEs2" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. 1t is sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when thewaste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-

CAPTAIN JACK CRAWFORD
The Poet Scout in His Original
Entertainment
A Recitation OF His Own Poems and Stories
Rendered in the Most Unique
and Pleasing Tanner

Captain Jack Crawford, the poet scout,
appeared before large audience at Simp-
son tabernacle last night in an entertain
ment given under the auspices of the
Young Mans Christian association.
Captain Crawford was the only person
on the program, and fur that everyone
was pleased. His method of entertain.
ing is unique and original.
1t consists OF a running recitation OF
poems of his own composition, stories of
frontier life, of eastern and foreign travel
and brief sketches and quotations from
the great men with whom he has met in
his varied and eventfnl life. These are
all given in style peculiarly his own,
which is a pleasing com bination of the
broad plainne.s OF the frontiersman, SO
blended with the refinement of the cultur-
eu genius that the effect is one of re-
fTeshing originality.
Captain Crawford appears in his scouts
uniform OF long buckskin coat and firing
ed trousers. at bis waist is the regula-
ton sixshoOter with which he takes ncca-
sion to display some of the dexterity of
the genuine plainsman by illustrating
one of his vivid stories with bit OF
Iapid firing.
Mr.. Crawford's poems are realistic and
somewhat ON the line OF Walt Wnitman's
verse. Like his short stories. they cover
a wide range, from the two extremes OF
jovial, whole-sutiled mirth to the most
touching rathos. They are to poetry
what Hamlin Garland's stories are to
prose. The poets rendition OF bis own
verse is splendid. He has dramatic
presence. and there is great deal of the
artist in what he does. He passes from
one piece to another with marvellous
smoothness, and the eyes which nave
been dimme by one of h. is sad stories
are brishtened in fash with his WIN OLE
some humor. The underlying thought
OF most that he says may best be ex.
mans man for a that" There is
moral tone to all of his work He stirred
up great deal of patriotic enthusiasm
among his hearers who listened to b I'M
with alternating applause and wra pit at
tie. ON for more than two hours.

Tho bishop stated yesterday afternoon
that he had placed tho matter OF the To-

on Boyle Heights come years ago for
cemetery purposes, but it cemetery

would, so far as he was concerned. The
location had been selected for sanitary
reasons and because it had become ne

new site.

Lots of Crooks Here

In speaking OF the numerous burslaries
that have been committed in the city for
a month or so past, Chief of Detectives
Moffatt said that there are probably moro
crooks and thieves of all kinds here now
than ev er before in the history of the
place. In addition to petty Operators
a large mum Der of excOnvicts are at work.
The cause for snch a heavy influx of these
dangerous mel is that the severe senten-
ces OF Judges Wallace and Murphy of San
Francisco have scared them away from
that city.
This information was had from an ex-
convict who resides here. but who is
not concerned in any Of the crooked work
that has been going on. Tho man said
further that when Judge Wallace found
out that prisoner before him for
sentence had previously served term in
the penitsntiary the cuIprit would re.
ueive about twenty years. Down here if
the fellows are caught in any job they
can plead guilty and generally get a light
sentence of three or four years. The differ
