IL. -Aln LADY.
Tho German Court Excited by the Reap
pcarance of q Specter.


pcaranoe of specter.
Considerable dismay is being felt at Ber-
lin in court circles by the ominous appear
anco of the famous white lady at the old
castle. The white lady appears at stated
intervals and Is supposed to herald misfor-
tune. OF course there are many people,
especially those who are of IA scientific turn
of mind, who are inclined to scoff at ghost
~ and supernatural appearances of this
character
However, the white lady Is considered
sufficiently of reality by the hard headed,
matter of fact commanders Of the Prussian
army so that whenever her appearance is
reported the sentinels around the royal
palace are at once doubled, no man being
left on guard alone The object of this is
not so much to protect the royal family
from harm as TO prevent tho 'sentinels
themselves from following the example of
those two who shot themselves while on
guard in 1883, the one shortly before the
death of old Emperor William and the
other few days before the demise of EN-
peror Frederick tho men in each case do.
claring before they expired that they had
seen the white lady.
Tho appearances of the white lady are
kept rs quiet as possible The matter is
refcrrtN 10 in whispers ct court, and
nothing concerning her is permitted to ap-
pear in print in the Berlin papers
The white lady in question, whose ap-
pearance forbodes evil to the reigning
house of Prussia, is supposed to be the
ghost of the Countess Agnes Orlamuendc
a murdcress who killed her two children
that constituted an Obstacle TO her mar
riagc with one OF the ancestors of the fam
lily of Hohcnzollcrn. The palace in which
the spectcr Of this titled murdcress appears
Is huge and massive structure of gray
stone, the walls Of which are pierced by
over 900 windows and that contains at
