A True Ghost Story.

The truth of the following story is
youched for by London paper:
A young lady arrived late at night
on visit to a friend. She awoke in
the darkness to find white figure at
the foot of the bed. While she watch
ed, the bedclothes were suddenly
whisked off, and the apparition van
iShed.
After an anxious, not to say chilly,
night, the visitor went down to break
fast. At the table she was introduced
to a gentleman, very old friend of
the family, who had, she learned, also
Deen sleeping in the house. He COM
planned of the cold.
Il hope you will excuse me- he said
to the hostess, '.but I found it so cold
during the night that, knowing the
room next mine was unoccupied, took
the liberty of going in and carrying off
the bedclothes to supplement my own"
Inc room, as it happened, was not
unoccupied, but he never learned his
mistake

The students of the University Of
Rochester in New York State have not
obtained much notoriety for "hazing,"
but this appears to have been due to
accident rather than to lack of energy.
An episode of student playfulness
which has just been made public shows
that these young men at Rochester are
worthy of high rank in the college
world for their ingenuity In devising
methods of torturing each other. A
freshman was the victim, and when he
had been finished" he was "raving
maniac" He was beaten by some So
phomores so severely that although he
did not lose his life he lost his mind.
This must have been rare college sport.
One can picture the zest with which
these young men entered into the game
of pommeling their fellow-student I'M
til his physical endurance and then his
mind gave way under the strain. 1t
must have been a spectacle something
like that in the cell of DR.. Ruiz in Cuba
when Spanish brutes were beating out
his life. Now let the police department
of Rochester show the world how fast
they can avenge this outrage. Pour the
entire detective machinery Of the city,
If necessary, into this college and hunt
out these demons who are masquerad
ing aS students It is time an example
should be made Of such brutes as these,
and few opportunities could be better
than this.

There occurred in Chicago recently
a siX-day bicycle race which seems to
have been merely contest to see how
much pain and fatigue the riders could
stand. The spectacle of number of
men, dizzy with pain, morphine and IA
tigue, struggling through the cruelty
Of protracted physical strain, sleep
less and but lightly fed, for six days
and six nights, ought to bring vigor-
GUS protest from all sane riders of the
wheel and from the public in general.
The modern prize fight, with its short,
quick knockout" may be brutaliMng,
but it is all over in an hour or so, and
the contestants punishment is trifling
compared with the six-day torture of
the racing wheelmen. There was about
as much "sport" in the bicycle race as
there would be in public exhibition
of human vivisection, the prize to go to
the man who could endure the most
pain without screaming. The race is
not defensible on any grounds what
soever. 1t proves nothing; it is no fair
test Of riding powers, and, as exercise,
1t is immensely damaging to the health.
Bicycle riding is good thing. Bicycle
racing, when conducted fairly and
sanely, as other athletic contests, may
be commended. But this six-day torture
exhibition has injured both.

An electric car going at full speed col
lides with a railway train, also going at
full speed. AS q result three persons
are dead, one fatally injured and sever
al others badly hurt. The gates were
closed and the accident was caused by
the motor car. which is one belonging
to the Calumet Electric Street Railway
Company, Chicago, becoming unman-
ageable, bursting through the guards
and rushing upon the track in front of
the express train. 1t is said that this
same motor performed the same trick
at the same place the prior Sunday,
happily without fatality at that time.
The officials of the company deny this,
and say that it was another motor
which gave the Sunday performance.
The company had, then, two unman-
ageable motors instead Of one and kept
them running over this dangerous
crossing. One naturally asks how many
more wild trains the company owns,
and what assurance passengers have
that trip over it's lines may be made
with safety to life and limb.

Congress is again in session. The or

The election of Mr.. Reed to his old posi-

than half an hour, including the nomina-
ton and his speech of acknowledgment of
the honor. There was nothing strikingly
picturesque or suggestive in the remarks
of Gen. Grosyenor putting Mr. Reed in
or in the Speakers acceptance.
The latter merely said that he would en-

Candidates for the dishonor of being
the meanest husband are, fortunate
ly, not abundant in the United States,
but occasionally they enter the lists.
One Kentucky benedict gave his wife
on the twenty-ffth anniversary of their
wedding four yards of domestic" out
of which she was to make him shirt,
this being the only gift from him in
the quarter Of a century. A strong
competitor is the Ohio man who gave
his wife but $40 in four years. Out Of
this she had to expend SIS to replace a
parasol for her sister, which the man
had lost. and he borrowed the remain
ing S. of her to get his trunk out Of
pawn and forgot to pay it. The only
money he ever spent for her in any
way was a nickel paid for sack of
peanuts, of which he took the lions
share. The wife was forced to clothe
herself and pay for her own board.

The voter now stamps the name of the
candidates party through the Office
slots.
To vote for man not on the ticket
often taken advantage of in local cleo
tions-he. writes his name in full, to-
gether with the office, on a slip Of pa
per and deposits it in large slot at the
bottom of the machine. He then writes
or stamps his initials in the slot OF the
office for which he voted.
That voting machines would simplify
and render safe elections, and are a
possibility of the near future, there can
be no doubt, since fraudulent votes could
not be cast, and every vote would be
counted exactly as the voter intended,
the result being determined in as many
minutes as it now takes hours.
This would avert the difficulties In
the recent elections of South Dakota,
Wyoming and Tennessee, as disputed
ballot would be impossible.
The result would have been different
in Kentucky. Mr.. Bryan carried an
elector by over 1000. Had machine
been used he would probably have car
ried all. AS it is evident that when
voter votes for the first elector his in
tention is to vote for ALL Had Ken
lucky been a pivotal State this would
have been a grave national question.
The same thing happened in 1892.
When Mr. Cleveland carried the first
elector of Ohio, but lost the balance.
The people are entitled to perfect
system Of voting, but 1t has not been
realized in the Australian method, as
it Is open to fraud in many ways, be-
sides causing the voter to vote in such
way that thousands Of disputed votes
are thrown out, sometimes enough in
some States to turn the scale if all had
been counted.

In our early youth, while yet we live
only among those we love, we love
without restraint, and our hearts over
flow in every look, word and action.
But when we enter the world, and are
repulsed by strangers, forgotten by
friends, we grow more and more timid
in our approaches even to those we
love best. How delightful to us, then,
are the caresses of little children! All
sincerity, all affection, they fly into our
arms; and then, and then only, we feel
our first confidence, our first pleasure.

hope to please all members in all things
at all times, but that he would do the best
he could and would endeavor to administer
the duties in a spirit of absolute fairness.
Galleries Crowded.
AS is usually the case at the opening of
Congress, the galleries of both House
and Senate We're crowded to their utmost
capacity, and hundreds and thousands
who neglected to provide themselves with
tickets or were unable to secure one of
the coveted pastboards were turned away
by the doorkeepers, whose instructions
were ironclad to admit Only those who
were entitled to seats. For an hour be-
fore Clerk Mcdowell called the House to
order the floor was crowded with visitors.
The wives and daughters of the members
and especially favored visitors were mass
ed in the aisles and open spaces. The gen.
eral public had small opportunity to view
the proceedings.
The most striking feature of the scene
on the floor was the number of new faces.
Old familiar figures, conspicuous in the
shock of many a parliamentary battle,
had disappeared, and in the new lists were
new and untried knights. The change in
o'clock the reserved galleries, with the eX-
ception of those for the diplomatic corps
and the executive, We're walled in, tier on
tier. The bright costumes of the ladies
gave lighter color to the animated scene.
AS the hands of the clock pointed to II,
Major Mcdowell, the clerk of the House,
raped the House to order. Rev. Mr..
Couden, the blind chaplain, then delivered
the invocation, appealing to the throne for
Gods blessing on the work of the new
Congress and the new administration. The
clerk of the House. then read the Presi-
dents proclamations convening Congress,
after which the roll was called.
There was an abundance of flowers on
the desks of Senators when, promptly at
II o'clock, Vice-President Hobart called
the Senate to order. There was an excep-
tionally full attendance of Senators. The
public galleries were packed and the re-
served galleries were well filled. The
chaplain's opening prayer invoked divine
grace and blessing on the Senators and
members about to take up the work of the
extraordinary session and on the Presi-
dent and Vice-President. The roll-call
disclosed the presence of sixty-eight Sen
ators. Senator Hoar and Senator Cock
rell were named committee to wait on
the President and inform him that Con-
gress was in session and ready to receive
any communication from him. The Sen
ate then, at 1890, took recess until
o clock
