Der that about a year ago big sensation
was sprung at Dalton over case involv-
ing wholesale robbery of railroad cars,
and that on the trial several prominent
merchants of the town were accused of
completely and convicted, mainly on the
testimony of Walter BohannOn The
charge against the merchants was that
they received the stolen goods and knew
that they had been stolen. Prominent
among them was Capt. r. J. Peoples, al
that time freight agent for the Western
and Atlantic railroad at Dalton. There
were seventeen true bills against Bohan-
non, to all of which he pleaded guilty inn
plicating nearly a half score of business
men in and around Dalton. Capt Peoples

Washington, Dec. Notwithstanding
bids fair to become the ruling passion of
Washington society, and those expecting
invitations for the Christmas holidays are
hoping that the host win live in a haunt
sed house.
The theory of society is that ghosts al
ways abound, even il not at all times in
evidence. The fortunate owner of a peak
ed house roped with ivy and densely sur
rounded by trees will at once issue cards
for Christmas specter-hunt. If the place
is endowed with a fair share of rats and
bats and a few hoohng owls, so much the
better.
The Christmas ghost-hunt is imaorted
from England, where the houses are an
cient enough to harbor specters who were
there before William the ConQueror The
comparative newness of this country leads
some to predict that the fad over here
will fail. We have no Danish towers. nor
Norman keeps, nor Elizabethan dungeons,
nor "any other old thing" where ghosts
may pr0wl around in costumes to match
the architecture.
The Washington specter has to choose
between q sheet and his best suit Gud
the poverty of the choice win most likely
unfit him for"the spectacular part fash
ion bids him to play.
There are exceptions. however, for even
in Washington there is one of the treas
safeguarding ghosts-an out-and-out buc-
cancer of the Spanish Main variety, with
cooked hat. gold lace, rufies high yellow
boots red jacket and an odor of antiquity.
Those acquainted with him say that he
clinks his chains of stolen doubloons and
would not be half bad to have around If
it were not for a habit he has Of wearing
his head in his hands.

claimed, enthusiastically: II feel like

as ten years ago, and his literary Ia
crs since then have sprinklcd the gray

tut, alas! not one of those stories has

rought only tile response: "We are

.iis. best work in the stories, and was
naturally anxious to have them add to
bis reputation-he addressed this note
to the editor:
"Will my stories ever appear2"
The associated editor answered.:
"There is a conspiracy here to hold
them until you are dead, as they would
naturally have greater interest then.
How is your health?"
Harden tore the note to tatters and

Decline of . Health Resort.

The town of Mentone, in the south Of
France, has long been q resort for con-
sumptives. Latterly, It is reported,
they have failed to derive much benefit
from stay in its borders, and the num-
Der of such visits is greatly reduced.
1T is claimed that the soil of the neigh
borhood has become impregnated with
germs, and that instead of giving re-
lief to sufferers it is now the last place
on earth to which they should resort.
II is even stated that the natives of the
locality, who once presented such
vigorous and hardy appearance, have
acquired the look of invalids them
selves, and that disease is now req,
nant where the best Of health once pre-
vailed. The decline of Mentone as
health resort is cited as a conclusive
proof OF the germ theory Of disease"
