ber Of edifices, the reputcd abodes OF Nght
and fleecy specters from the realms OF
spirit land who visit them III aStral form
during the midnight or early morning hours
and indulge in mysterious pranks.
In order To investigate the manifesto
tions in these houses, Mr.. George bigss
and ether spiritualists OF this city are
preparing a directory of the alleged haunt
ed houses, their purpose being To Visit
them and hold seances there. In other
words. Mr.. Biggs said lie and his associates
propoSe to reverse the usual order OF seances
and visit the haunts of the spirits to cor
verse with them, instead Of summonlng the
spiritual beings to a hali or other place, as
is the usual custom.
One Of the houses which has been brought
to the notice of the Investigators and en-
tered ON the lists is located on First street
southwest, about a stones throw from the
Capitol Park. The unusual and startling
manifes tatiuns in this house were seen and
heard 10 y at least twenty persons, but rev IL
whom are spiritualists. Not long ago III
was occupied by a comrositor, employed IN
the Government Printing Office, who Is not
a believer in the suiritualistic faith.

ON the dividing wall between his residence
and the next house. II was about l2:3O
O'Clock in the morning, and at first the
printer thnught L!S UCSJ door neIGhtors
were pounding on the wall.
After an intermissiun OF about one min
ute the three raps We're repeated at the
same spot about Two feet from his head
They were repeated, with the same inter
val between raps, for about an hour, wnen
he decided tu call his wife. whc was sleep
Ing on the same bed, and ask he To invcs-

Llevo la mano al corszon, y Iuego
sigui6 turbada, con acento leve:
No siempre puede una passion de fuego
de ageno corazon romper Ia nieve.-
Todo 10 comprendf Fresca hermoss
adornaba una rosa su vestido,
- QaieFes, le die, hacer que en- esa rosa
dos almas que Sc adoren hallen nidof
Tomo la rosa, pensativa grave,
y, besando en- seguida su corola:
-Aquf te doy, me dijo con voz susve,
un alma que en- ell nido Sc halIa solai -
