Face Of Woman Seen on New Hnmp-
shire Gravestone.
The residents OF Amesbury, Mass and
the people of Scabrook, N. H., are greatly
excited over strange appearance on a
gravcstono IN the little cemetery at the
edge of Seabrook. Tho stone. bears the
name of Jonathan Walter, who died In
1894. On the stone can be seen very dis
tinctly the face Of q woman said 10 great
~ resemble Walters first wife, who died a
few years ago. The Stone was placed In po-
sition by his second wife and other rela-
tives at that time.
Nothing strange was seen on the stone,
and 1t looked no different from any other
stone in the yard. The face was first Seen
on Memorial day, when Mrs. William Ea-
ton, who was examining the headstones out
of curiosity, stopped ia amazement in front
of this stone aud saw what she then
thought was picture Of a woman engray-
ed In the stone. But, going up to the stone,
she found nothing.
1t seems that the face can only be seen
when a short distance away from the
grave. The maker of the stone stated that
nothing of the kind was on the stone when
most excitement is that the face resembles
Walters first wife in many ways. The
face is perfect in lines, and the eyes, nose
and mouth can be seen plainly. The hair
is also very distinct and falls loosely down
on the shoulders.
The superstitious people Of the town say
that 1t is the work of God, while te3 spir-
itualists of the locality say that it is the
dead wife come back to watch over her
husbands grave. The appearance of tho
picture has caused more than 1 900 persons
TO visit the little town since the day 1t was
first seen by Mrs. Eaton.
paid the cemetery a visit TO ascertain
the truth Of the report and found it was
true in every respect. The face was almost
perfect. Many residents say that it is only
freak of nature, which undoubtedly it Is,
but 1t is the strangest freak nature has
taken for many years and promises to at
tract more attention than anything in the
locality for years.--New York Herald.

The most successful season OF the Brown
University Baseball Association closed
yesterday with victory oyer Holy Cross
by the score Of 3 to O. The most success
full academic year in the history Of Brown
University also closed yesterday with the
12sth annual commencement and the
graduation OF moro thau 100 students.
These two statements are not without re-
lation 10 each other. Ia considering the
factors which have promoted the good Of
the college during the past seven years
athletics cannot be left out.
DIR. Andrews has now completed his
seventh year as chief executive officer
of the university. lie became its presi-
oent in the fall OF 1889. The number Of
students was small previous to that time,
and during the preceding ball season
Brown had been subjected to the jibes
and jeers OF other colleges. With AN
DREws as president came in the class OF
'93 which gave Brown that prom
inence in the baseball arena which for
seven years has done so much to rtUact
favorable attention to the institution. In
the class which came in with DIR. An
DREws as president we're SEXTON, WEEKS,
JONES, McCLANE, McGILL and DowD
and they set pace which has been kept
up ever since by the players OF sue
ceed ing classeI until this year old Brown
holds first place in the list of all Ameri-
can colleges
And this has something to do with the
academic success OF the university, for
after all the increase OF the student pop
ulation is the first essential for the devel-
opment and growth Of az educational in
stitution, and what will attract wide
awake voting men Of the sort that are
worth having quicker than a good record
on the diamond?
Browns Improvement in the lecture
hall ana recitation room.is as marked as
1t is on Lincoln field. The young man
who enters the college Influenced by the
sole fact that Brown can beat Harvard
and Yale on the diamond finds himself
matriculated in university that is up
to-date in other respects than the ational
game. Brown university" is no
longer misnomer, for the instit ution
has outgrown the limitations of the "col-
lege" The list of names OF the faculty
is as long as the roll of students has been
within the memory OF many graduates
who "returned to the shrine" yesterday.
The benefits of the elective system are
open to all undergraduates and the devel-
opment OF the graduate departments has
been remarkable.

The senatorship.

The senatorship contest promises to be
one of the most notable that has occurred
in the state in years. From what has de-
veloped it is evident that there viii be
quite a number Of candidates, and that the
successful one will be the best trader
that is, the one who can make the best
combination of those who have friends
seeking places in the gift Of the legislature,
and who are interested in having certain
men for supreme court judges. If the gov
ornor becomes senatorial candidate the
question Of his successor also becomes a
factor in the contest The indications are
that he Will be a candidate, and very
strong one. In fact, it is believed he is
so strong that all the other candidates
will combine against him.
one thing with which the governor will
have to contend is the feeling against an
other gubernatorial election so soon after
the October election. The people are get
ting tired of politics and elections, and If
they had their way they would let the gov
ernor stay where he is, if for no other
reason than to avoid another gubernato-
rial election.
It seems to us that the legislature, in
the interest of the people, should insist
upon a promise from the governor in the
event Of his becoming a candidate for SEN
ator, that he would, if successful, resign
at once, so that a governor could be elect
ed in December at the election for supreme
court judges. 1t would be an easy mat
ter for the state executive committee to
change the date for holding the judgeship
mass meetings from Nov. IA to a later
date, if the senatorshp question should
not be disposed of by that time, so that
delegates could be chosen with the under
standing that they should nominate can
didate for governor as well as candidates
for supreme court judges.
The expense of holding general election
is very considerable and should be avoid
ed if possible. In fact, if the governor be-
comes a candidate for senator he would
improve his own prospects of election by
having it understood that if chosen SEN
ator he would resign at once, so that a
governor could be elected in December.
In the contest that is going on at Atlanta
however, there is but little chance that the
interests of the people will be regarded.
