GHOST AFFECTS a SALE,

Buffalo House Sacrificed Because 1t
Was Said to Be Haunted.
1t has leaked out that Buffalo has
ghost, and a most remarkable one,
being that of no less person than the
late Harry H. Koch, an upright bust
ness man Of this city, whose rotund
form did not suggest spooks, though
he was in the shoe trade and was once
sheriff of Erie county, in either of
which callings he must have heard a
great many genuine ghost stories, says
the Buffalo Express.
EX-Sheriff Koch hanged himself
dozen years ago in his costly house on
Delaware avenue, but the story Of his
ghost did not become public property
till the other day. The old Koch home
stead in the avenue had been sold by
order Of court to settle the estate, and
some of the interested persons de-
INJURED because it had been allowed to
60 so cheap.
The judge replied, by way Of excus-
ing himself from possible blame, that
it had been necessary to sell it under
price. He said that the house had
the name Of being haunted. So many
people declared that they had seen the
former proprietor wandering about
the rooms since his death that it had
been found impossible to obtain high
price for it, in spite Of it's great cost
and it's location in the wealthiest sec
ton Of the city.
There was no further objection, and
the property was allowed to 60, ghost
and all.

The Cuban Sufferers.

An American lady, residing in
Guantanamo, Cuba, has written a
letter to Oneida chapter Daughters
OF the American Revolution, speak
ing OF some OF the misdirected CHAIR
ties, and stating that among the
starving people three things seem to
be ssentlal-cOndensed milk, Quinine
pills and Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil.
The request for the SCOTS Emul-
sion was emphasized by the following
statements: "A boy to whom | gave
some, when actually on his last legs,
has just come in looking so bright
and happy that it has done me good
OH if | had some money! 1t is
terrible not to be able to help the
suffering" This attracted the at
tentlOn OF the n manufacturers, who
entered into correspondence with the
Cuban Relief committee and found
that SCOTS Emulsion was being
used In the cases of extreme starVa-
ton where solid food could not be
properly assimilated; whereupon
they made arrangements for sending
500 bottles, to be distributed free, in
each relief ship that the committee
should send forward, and it is now
being used in Cuba with wonderful
efficacy.
The estimable ladies of Oneida
chapter have been very much graft
fed at the prompt response with
which their appeal was met. The
example set will probably be used
effectively upon the larger manu-
facturers of quinine pills and the con
densed milk people

WILD POST OFFICE CATS,


fuse to Leave the Site
During all the time the old federal
building was being torn down and
since the foundations for the new struc-
ture have been in progress the cats
that made their home in the old build
ing have chung tenaciously to the site,
reports the Chicago Post. They have
become wild as animals in the Jungle.
While the old structure was being
taken down they sought refuge in the
coal vaults under the sidewalks. The
foundation contractors have torn down
the vaults, and half a dozen of the cats
have their haunts under the piles of
timber and under the temporary offices
inside the inclosure.
Building Inspector Canman has made
an effort to redomesticate the cats, but
he has given up the attempt. Two of
them were placed in his office week
ago and imprisoned in a closet They
were fed twice a day and the door was
left partly open to accustom them to
the place. The other day the inspector
thought they had become accustomed
to their surroundings and the closet
door was opened to let them out They
darted out into the room and leaping
over the top of desk sprang out of an
open window and disappeared under a
pile of timber.
There were a score or more cats in
the old building, petted and fed by the
employees. They made themselves at
home in every office in the building.
Some of them were taken to the tenn
porary post office. The neglected ones
probably will cling to the old place
and make their habitation in the new
structure

RAG OFFERINGS,
An Odd Old W0rId Custom That StiII
Obtains.

Obtains.
The singular custom of leaving rags
and other worthless objects a wells has
not entirely fallen into disuse. The su-
perstition, in a modified form, exists i'm
ether portions of the world, says Co.
dey's Magazine. A traveller in Persia
found a tree with rags tied to it's
branches. They had been left there by
the inhabitants of a province infected
with ague. tree hung with rags was
found by another traveller in Africa
Crooked pins, old clothes, pebbles,
shells, rusty nails, small coins, and even
bundles of heath were considered ap-
propriate thank-offerings at shrines in
earlier days, for it was believed that the
saints and apostles did not care for ar
ticles of value.
Such was the superstitious alteration
of fountains that it was forbidden by
the sixteenth of the canons issued in
900, in the reign of King Edgar, and it
was condemned by the canons of st.
Anselm. 1t was also interdicted by
laws passed in the reign of King Can
ute. Since the reformation the prac-
tice has not been prevalent, except In
Ireland, where many old wells conse-
Grated to saints and martyrs are yet
made places of pilgrimage. There is
scarcely a parish throughout the land
that has not its own holy we'll, where,
despite practical admonition, the faith
full and the faithless come to pray for
physical or mental relief, and leave be-
hind them a scrap of rag as an offer

Shipping Over The 500.

The Bismarck extension of the 500
Ids fair to cut into the stock ship
alents of other roads in the future.
The Kuhn Messenger says: The anric-
mated stock shipments over the 500
extension began early this week. Here
after the N. P. and G. N. will have to
reckon on the sharp competition of the
500 line in this extremely profitable line
Of transportation. The 500 line has a
wide reputation for fair treatment to all
its patrons and there is no class who will
appreciate it more or sooner take steps
to avail themselves of it than the stock
men and shippers of western North Da-
kota.
The first heavy shipment over the new
%'Etension took place Monday. The cat
lie were owned by the well-known firm
Delaney Bros. and by them sold to
slcr, Of Carson, Iowa.
The shipment consisted of 1!O45 head
mixed cattle for feeders, and required
wards of 40 Street stable cars to ac-
immediate them.
