He Never Went There Any More.
An unfortunate young man of that
class Of beings who finds it impossible
to keep their fingers still called on a
young woman the other evening. He
waited for her in the raWing-room ana
drummed nervously on the Louis
QuinZe table for awhile. Then he
knocked Chinese idol over, and finally
his eye was caught by tiny basket Of
gilt wire filed loosely with violets. He
pulled a violet out. 1t came with diff
ficulty, but that merely spurred the
young man on to fresh efforts. In ten
minutes all the violets were out, and
then the young woman entered the
room. She greeted him cordially, and
then her eyes fell upon the scattered
violets.

GHOSTS OF IMAGINATION.
Specters That Are the Offspring of a
Disordered Mind.

Disordered Mind.
To many persons at some time and to
some persons several times come APP
partitions that are considered out of the
usual or scientifically unexplained, and
are thus relegated to the domain of the
supernatural. 1t may be as we'll to adj
nit that the ocular sense sometimes
sees these spectral appearances.
But it does not follow that they are
not one and all expIainable on other
hypothesis than as wanderers from
the mysterious ghostly shores, recon-
veyed by Charon on his return trip
across the Stygian tide, to inspire the
timid with fear and terror without
substantial consequences.
Of all the tens of millions of mental
machines that are running at all stages
and in all conditions, it is not suppose
BILE that they can all be run with such
precision as not at some time or other
to be subject to abusive action in their
workings.
What peculiar phantaSmagOria often
comes in sickness and what is knOWn
as delirium tremenS, weird and hOrrid
mental pictures that present them
selves to the wakeful brain, but which
is involuntary ratiocinatiOn, although
produced by abnormal physical brain
conditions.
1t is more than probable that much
of what is known as phantasms is of
this character-a temporary touch of
unconscious mental arrangement
Those are wonderfully peculiar and
Elusive pictures that are presented to
us in dreams, and yet they are closely
allied with the occasional wakeful spec
tiers, lacking only the intensity neces-
sary to be projected on the vision of
Wakefulness. But another oruer of
spectral apparitions may be of alto
gether another character.
It is just possible that the seemingly
spectral form is the result, in a small
way, of what is known as a mirage,
as much and as clearly so as the Fata
MOrgana often seen in Italy, and other
mirages often seen elsewhere.
These are real and veritable illusions,
yet little study enables us to trace
out that they are reflections, although
objects are sometimes represented of
whose eXiStenc we know nothing.
The reflection in a mirror, so faith
full to every minute detail, is Of an illu-
sorry nature, but the cause and the eff
feet being both near and closely relat-
ed, we understand the phenomenon
which then occasions no surprise.
What else could these apparitions be
than what on these and other similar
grounds is eXpiainable? The forms al
legged to have been seen are as well
animal as human, sometimes neither,
and too grotesque to allow Of mental
reproduction in describing them.
The image in the mirror can make
pantomime, but it can make no voice;
it cannot utter a sound. Being only
an apparition and not real tangible
entity, its scope is thus restricted, and
the spectral apparition is invariably
lacking in intelligence because it is
only the mirage-only the semblance
of something.

Appellate Court
The new appellate court judges met
in Topeka and discussed the work-which
awaits them. Judges Carver, Clark and
Gilkeson met in the supreme court room
and talked over the work of the court.
Judge johnson will preside over the de-
alterations of the southern department.
and Judge Gilkeson, being the eldest of
the three judges in the northern depart
ment, viii preside over that court. The
southern department could not be or
gained until after the legislature closed.
Judges Cole and Dennison are members
of the legislature, and will be compelled
to resign those positions before qualify

son has appointed Lochiel Scott, of
Oberlin, brother of 'Fully Scott, as his
stenographer. Judge Carver has APP
pointed Paul Hurd, of Abilene, as his
stenographer. Judge Clark has appoint
ed M. F. Burge, of Topeka, to the posi-
ton in his department. Senator Den

pher, and Judge johnson has selected

senator Elkins visits Us.

Senator Elkins, accompanied by his
wife and son, arrived on the Regulator
yesterday evening. The party came as
far as the Cascades in their private car,
arriving there at IL o'clock. AS the SEN
ator was secretary of war at the time the
contract was let for the completion of
the locks under the contract system,
and as he had urged the adoption of that
plan, he was much interested in the
work, which he examined very thor
oughly. He is very practical, and at
first glance expressed astonishment at
the stupendous character of the work.
He pronounced it the finest piece of
work in the United States, but added !:
/ "The trouble is that the work has
been done on too large scale. The
canal should have been made smaller,
and had this been done, it would have
been completed years ago. As it is am
convinced that next spring will see the
work com pleted and realize that it means
great deal to the people of Eastern
Oregon"
Commenting upon the boat railway
proposition, he said:
ST am opposed to it, for at the best it
is but an experiment, but am heartily
in favor Of canal. Not such a canal as
you will have at the Cascades, but a
canal that will pass boats of 500 or 600
tons, big enough to do the business OF
the country for years TO come. The

\ much more expeditiously than the rail.
way, and besides it would save the cost
of operating probably 500, 600 a year.
The party were the guests of Mr.. I. N
Day, who took them for drive over the
city. Many of our citizens called to pay
their respects to the senator and many
more would have done SO had they
known positively of his coming. The
senator's special ear was attached to the
passenger last night, and the party lef
for Salt Lake, delighted with their triI

measures pertaining to the speedy open

License Them.

The country is being oyer-run with
peddlers, to the damage of everybody
concerned, except themselves. The
parties who buy of them are generally
more or less duped, as the stocks Of
goods peddled are generally old-fash-
ioned shopwo stuff that is dear at
any price, and the merchants who haye
good stocks have their trade curtailed.
AS none of these pay taxes it is highly
proper that their business should be
licensed, SO that they are placed more
nearly under the burdens that our mer-
chants have to bear. A tax of not less
than 800 a quarter should be levied
upon them, and in the meanwhile those
who have goods to purchase had better
patronize their local merchants whether
of The Dalles or otherwise. Your home
merchant will generally do better by
You than anybody, and besides he, and
not the peddler, is the man who carries
you when you need it.

irony OF Fate.

Professor Bischof, prominent physi-
clan, was vehemently opposed to the ad-
mission of female students at the Uni
versity of st. Petersburg and in general
to any concession made to the woman's
rights advocates. He argued that it was
wrong to put woman on on equal foot
ing with man as far as mental capa-
city was concerned, and gave as a reason
for this statement that the average
weight of woman's brain (three pounds
four ounces) was three and a half ounces
less than that of man.
He died not long ago and upon an
autopsy being performed his brain was
weighed. How odd that its weight was
even trifie less than the average claim
ed for the sex he despised.-St. Peters
