MISS NORA SHEEHAN,

MRS. L. SULLIVAN.

Judge Strong, of Chicago, has address,
ed an open letter to President McKin-
ley, setting forth some sound reasons
in opposition to territorial expansion.
AS Republican who voted for him he
says: Right here beg leave to caution
you against receiving unchallenged the
opinion Of those who tell you that the
country is in favor of our taking, hold
ing and governing the Philippine Is
lands. On the contrary, after careful
and extended inquiry among all classes
Of men, l feel convinced that large ma
jority of the most intelligent, thinking
men of all classes, are opposed to such
an undertaking. Beware the Ides of
March," the fast approaching November,
1900. Then this deluding, bewildering
mirage, called territorial expansion, will
have been dispelled and the American
voter will see how utterly illogical and
misleading the argument that because,
as an incident of the war, we wrested
the people of these islands from Spanish
oppression we are therefore either re-
Quired or authorized, at an expense of
$40,O0O,0O0 yearly, to keep them in mill
tary subsection as a colony until we can
teach them the ways of American life
and American politics, and thereby in
crease our commercial advantage.

open can tell whether the financial strain
is lOosening up or not. When see woman
buying two dresses where she used to buy
one, and getting little better material
at that, know that things are easier at
her house. and when this greater liberality
becomes general, it is plain that the whole
community is better off. 1t is just as simple
as watching the flying straws to tell which
way the wind is blowing.
Another leaf out Of my philosophy Is to
keep track Of the amusements. They are

hesitancy in managing your affairs as

hard. But we're all right on that score.

GHOST YARN FROM GREENLAND.
1t Relates to Skulls Secured by Lieut..
Peary for Chicago.

The following remarkable story of the
supernatural was told by a member of Lieut..
Peary's arctic expedition:
The Greenland section was partly subsi-
died by seceral scientific societies on the
understanding that skulls and skeletons and
botanical and geological specimens should
be secured for their various museums. Six
Eskimo skeletons were promised to the
Chicago Worlds Fair authorities in return
for a grant toward the Peary expedition.
Eskimo skeletons are rare, especially Of
those types known as the Arctic High
landers." and as the Eskimos are a super
stitious people our endeavors to obtain
skulls and skeletons by legitimate purchase
failed utterly, and we had to steal them.
When the Kite sailed from Godhaven we
had 10 fine skulls aboard, and one of our
hunks WAS converted into a regular grave
yard, each specimen being separately bag
ged, securely sealed and the cabin care
fully locked. 'u..'
After the shipping 10 skulls we encoun-
tered terrible weather.. The crew mean
while had their suspicious as to "uncanny''
influences aboard and one morning at break
fast an officer told a strange yarn. He
said he was on watch during the night
when he noticed a kyak padded by an
Eskimo alongside the vessel. It was bad
weather and he knew it must be ghostly
kyak for no such craft could have been
out 20 miles from land on such a night.
~A0NSSA
had no difficulty in keeping up with the
ship. The Eskimo hailed the watch and
kept waving and reckoning with mysterious
gestures and a threatening tone in his ex-
CARNATIONS. Suddenly he vanished, to re-
appear alongside a few minutes later, hail
Ing the ship with a mournful wall The
sky was lit up by the vivid Northern lights.
so the officer stated that he saw distinct-
ly what subsequently took place.
Out OF the hatchway came a procession
OF six Eskimos. walking noiselessly along
the poop deck They passed through the
bulwark-not over it-and vanished The ky
aker disappeared at the same time The
scientific party left the breakfast table
and went to the locked graveyard bunk,
Six of the skulls were missing from the
bags. The seals were unbroken and were
apparently the same that we had affixed
The remaining bones and skulls, with the
chiefs skeleton, are now the property of
the Academy of Natural Sciences in Phila-
delphia. The six missing skulls have never
been heard Of. Most Of the crew refused to
go another voyage on the Kite which they
declared to be haunted by 'Huskies" in
search Of their desecrated bones.
I give you the story just as it occurred
We cannot explain it. If the crew has con-
spired to steal the bones to "lay' the ''Hus-
ky ghosts why did they take only six
skulls. and how did they manage not to dis
turb the seals? The abstraction of the skulls
made no difference--so the sailors declared
to the Husky apparitions with which they
said the ship was constantly haunted.
