LONDON, Nov. 11.-At the second
days racing of the Liverpool autumn
meeting d. Seymour's flve-year-old bay
mare Sapling. ridden by Tod Sloan. the
American jockey, won the Liverpool
Stewards Plate by q length and half.
This race is of $50 sovereigns value for
three-yeaY-olds and upwards. Ten
horses ran. Distance, nearly six fur
longs. II. A. Oswald's Yule Tree was
second and Sir 8. Scott's Ardvourlie
third. The betting before the start was
. 10 l against Ardvourlie and 10 to
against sapling.
Sloan has won high approval here and
the newspapers which formerly criti-
cised him acknowledge that he is great
rider.
The Globe says: However ugly Sloan's
style, 1t pays, and we must admit that
he is a perfect artist In the saddle and
that at his weight we have little stock
in this country to cope with him.
The Sun says: Even the most preju-
diced are forced to admit that he knows
how to beat most of our men when his
mount is good enough. There Is some-
thing in his method deserving of con-
sideration.

pointed Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon Gov. Tanner
named the new commission of the
Western Insane hospital, and the
nominations were immediately con-
firmed. The board is composed Of
Frank w. Gould, of Moline. who will
be president; John J. McCauley, Of
Clay county. and Henry c. Clement.
OF Chicago. The trustees are all
new mon. There has been q vacsn-
cy on the board ever since Judge ]
h. Eden resigned. aud it should in
reality have been provided for first,
and as 1t was necessary to appoint
one democrat. the governor had an
opportunity to display q magnani-
nous spirit and retain President
Medill. But he is not built that way.
He wanted q board constructed as
far as possible on partisan lines, and
one that would crafty the politi-
clans from Moline. who were dead
set on having q member of the COM
mis- zion. and to this end they put Gould
forth and would hear to NO one else
So Tanner made . clean sweep, even
removing that stalwart republican,
w. Sheldon Gale, in order to make
his appointments OF the Tanner kind
In all respects. Against either Mr..
Medill or Mr.. Gale not an objection
could be raised. Both had been
faithful and capable in the discharge
OF duty. Tanner knew this, but
there were others who wanted the
Offices, and they were recognized.
Not Wise Policy.
The wisdom of the policy thus
adopted by tho governor, especially
where the work has been but lust
inaugurated and construction but
partly under way, as in tho case of
the Western hospital, is much to be
questioned. The advantage of ex-
perience and thorough familiarity
in the early stages OF an institution
of this kind should be considered OF
peculiar interest to the state.
When the routine is once esta blished
it is different, for, once completed
and systematized, q stranger exper-
fences less difficulty in stopping in

TAPPING IN THE COFFIN.

his home, a. short distance away. At
the same time a son of the late Zach
Gill claimed that the things belonged
to him, but Tom would not listen to his
contention. After Tom had the things
he was put to some trouble to dispose
Of them. He finely set the coffin out on
the porch in plain sight of the people
who pass the house daily.
For some time nothing out of the or
binary occurred. About six weeks ago,
however, strange noises began to be
heard. Tom Gill, indeed, was awakened
by rappings apparently ON his door,
which is Immediately behind the coffin.
The rappings disturbed his sleep. He
got up and opened the door, and was
not little surprised to find no one
about. He shut the door and again re-
tired. He had hardly stretched himself
when the rappings were repeated. He
again got up and still found no one at
the door. He believed that some one
was playing practical joke on him, so
instead of going Immediately back to
bed he stood UP behind the door, which
he left unlocked. AS soon as the rap
pings were repeated he jerked.the door
open, leaving no time for any practical
iokers to get out of the way. No one
was there. Then it was that his atten-
ton was attracted by peculiar tap
ping in the coffin. He got lantern and
opened the coffin, taking out all the
clothes and examining them carefully.
His search was unrewarded. As soon
as he shut down the coffin lid the rap
pings were repeated. By this time he
was in a highly excited and nervous
state, so he hastily sought refuge in the
house and tightly locked the door.
Since then not day or night has passed
that the knocking has not been heard.
The story that spirits had begun to
visit Tom Gill's home soon attracted
every viIlager to the haunted spot, and
scarcely day passes that group of
curious people cannot be found about
the coffin waiting to hear the strange
noise.
Those mysterious sounds have af-
forded diversion for about so Louisville
boarders at the Twin Caves hotel, o
short distance away. They hold might
ly ghost parties and sit about the coffin
in sofemn state waiting for the spiritto
materia1ize. They have opened thecof
fin, but have been unable to discover
any cause for the peculiar Phenom-
enon. The ignorant say that it is the
spirit of old Zach Gill trying to tell I'd
whom the clothes should be given.

SPIRITS IN KENTUCKY.
The Disembodied, Not the Disem-
bottled, Variety.
They Made Heaps of Excitement for
the Natives-Nisht1y Ghost Parties
Held by Curious Visitors
from Louisville.

The residents of Muldragh, summer
resort much frequented by Louisville
people and located about 2s miles from
that city ON the Illinois Central rail
road in Meade county, are just now in
the midst of a six weeks sensation, says
the Courier-Journal, in which spirits
other than the kind Kentucky has made
famous figure. Tom Gill, who occupies
a small cottage near the town, is the
present possessor of rough wooden
coffin filed with clothes and trinkets
which formerly belonged to his dead
brother, but about which there has been
from time to time considerable contro-
versy. For the past six weeks mysteri-
Gus l1nocldngs have proceeded from the
coffin, and in spite of watchful investi-
CATION, both by the enlightened and the
ignorant in the neighborhood, no one
has yet been able to account for the
noises. The story back of the rappings
and the one upon which the theory of
spirits is built is quite an interesting
one.
Nine years ago Zach Gill got into
quarrel with Widow Mccarthy about a
COW. He waylaid her on the road and
shot her dead with shotgun. He was
arrested and convicted, but through the
testimony of the late DIR. H. K. Pussy
he was adjudged insane and sent to the
asylum for the insane at Lakeland. He
died two years after he was taken to
the asylum and his remains were placed
in one of the rough wooden collins pro-
vided by the state and sent to the mans
widow. In the box were placed the
mans clothes and other belongings.
The body was placed in a coffin pro-
vided by the family, and the clothes and
the trinkets were left in The rough
wooden box.
Tom Gill, q brother of the unfortunate
man, claimed all these things, but the
dead mans widow refused to give them
up. She set the grewsome relic in the
attic, and there it reamined up to few
months ago, when she died. Tom Gill
at once took possession of the coffin
and its contents and removed them to

New religion in Russia.

A new religious sect has been found
ed in the province of Saratov, in the
southeastern part of Russia tits called
the Panjaschkovtzi, and its central idea
is that there is in every human being
an immortal soul imprisoned in devil
owned body. The members of the sect
therefore believe that the body ought
to be neglected, and they do not wash
themselves, comb their hair or change
their garments. They will eat any
thing, frequently partaldng of offal.
Their houses are never cleaned, with the
result that they live in Understandable
filth. Only the most primitive morality
is observed by them. The sect is finding
willing converts among the peasants of
the province.

Gus. The agent at Fort Cudahy
thought it would be a pity for any
woman to get such worthless chap
for a husband, but he communicated
Simpsons order to the purser of the
next boat that came along, and was
surprised to hear him say:
Il know the very woman for him.
I'll bring her up on the back trip if he
will advance the fare"
Simpson put up the money and on
the return trip the purser escorted
ashore a stalwart woman of 40 years
who had been working as cook in a
camp down the river. The courtship
was short. Simpson had good pros
poets and the woman knew it. They
were married in due form and went to
keeping house at once. For two days
Mrs. Simpson did not interfere with her
husbands comings and goings, but on
the third morning, when he gave signs
of starting for the saloon, she put her
self before the door and said:
Take your tools, Mat. and go to
work in the shaft"
Mat was foolish enough to say that
he hadn't married a woman to be
bossed by her. When he recovered his
senses he had two black eyes, bruised
nose and big lump on his head. With.
out word he shouldered his tools and
went straight to his claim, Mrs. Simp-
son following to see that he did not
get off the road. For three months he
worked hard, and when he asked the
agent to take care of little matter OF
100000 for him he said:
That's fine woman you brought
me for a wife. She's the best in the
country"
