FOREST RESERVATIONS.
King Advocates the Revocation of
Cleveland's Order.

Washington. May 10.-The house to-
day resumed the transaction of public
business, which had been suspended
since the Indian appropriation bill was
sent to conference three weeks ago.
The consideration of the senate
amendments to the sundry civil ap
preparation bill was entered upon under
a special order providing for recess
each day until disposed of. Mr.. Simp-
son of Kansas pursued his tactics of
the last week, attempting to harass
the majority with points of no quorum,
but without success, and the Demo-
cratic lack OF harmony on the subject
of party policy was again in evidence.
Mr.. McMillin and Mr.. Bland both crit
icized the method of procedure pur-
sued by the majority. The latter de-
clared that it was an outrage to force
legislation through the house without
consideration or information from the
committee. In the Indian appropria-
ton bill, he said, two or three jobs had
been found The most conflicting state
ments were made on the floor and
members could not vote intelligentlv.
He said he would continue to oppose
and protest against such procedure.
On the question of the adoption of the
order the Democrats divided Mr.. Bailey
and his followers voting with the Repub-
lcans and several of the Democrats, in
Guiding Mr.. McMillin and Mr.. Bland.

vote resulted III to 10.

complete success for few mumeuts.
johnnie Coleman gave all the evidences
of mortal anguish customary to such
occasions, He squirmed and twisted
and rended the air with lamentations,
protestations and CALCULATIONS of peni-
tence.
Stella Coleman, a stout girl of 16
years, sister of Johnnie, heard the walls
of her brother and appeared as arescue
and punitive force. She dashed into
the room like young whirlwind and
attacked the teacher with a rush. The
boy took advantage of the diversion to
rub himself few times where he felt
that rubbing was necessary and salu-
tary and then joined in the attack.
Miss Coleman scratched vindictively
and reached for her teachers hair. Miss
Hart proceeded methodically and ac-
cording to the most approved principles
of pedagogics. She first captured the
girls hands and then tripped her up,
threw her and sat on her. Then she
reached for her whip and thrashed
Miss Coleman until all the fight and
most of the family affection were
thrashed out of her. After that she
caught Johnnie Coleman and began on
him all over again.
Having completed her work conscien-
tiously and thoroughly, she expelled

tinctly. When l mentioned this, my
mother rose trembling to her feet and
nearly tainted away. With tears stream
ing down her face she exclaimed that 1
had indeed seen my sister, as no living
mortal but herself was aware of that
scratch, which she had accidentally
made herself while doing some little
act of kindness after my sisters death.
She said she well remembered how
panied she was to think she should have
unintenionally married the features of
her dead daughter, and that, unknown
to all, she had carefully obliterated all
traces of the scratch with the aid of

The world is chock-full of ghosts.
The only wonder is that living persons
have room enough to move around.
The whole question having to do
with these phenomena is afioat, scien-
tifically speaking, at present 1t is

of gentlemen in England who call
themselves the Society for Psychical
Research. The society has branch in
this country which is located at Bos-
ton.
Prof. W. L. Barrett, OF Harvard, has
personal knowledge of a ghost which
appeared in a certain Anticipated New
England house in 1873. The dwelling
was occupied by two brothers. One of
them woke up about three o'clock one
morning and saw before him the fig
ure of woman. He says: "Her head
and shoulders were wrapped in gray
shawl | looked at her in horror, but
dared not cry out lest l might move
the thing to speech or action. Behind
her head i saw the window and the
growing dawn, the looking-glass on
the toilet table and the furniture. After
few seconds she went backward to-
ward the window, stood at the toilet
table, and gradually vanished. Imean
that she grew by degrees transparent,
and that through the shawl and the
gray dress she wore / saw the white
muslin of the table cover.
az did not mention this circumstance
afterward either to my brother or to
our servants, because feared that the
latter would leave us, while the for
mer would certainly ridicule the story.
A fortnight afterward, sitting at break
fast, ] noticed that my brother seemed
ont of sorts. He said: Il have had
a horrid nightmare. But indeed it
was no, nightmare. 1 saw it early this
morning just as distinctly as see you.
