uou.e Of Commons "Bull.."

Two rather good "bulls" are attributed
to the late Sir George Campbell On one
occasion he had been calling attention In
the house of commons TO some abuse In
Indian administration and proceeded to
observe that he had further revelations to
make concerning other scandals in com
parison with which this one was "a mere
flea bite In the ocean" Another time,
when speaking about military affairs In
India, he declared that 1.-THE pale face OF

ga man killed on the railroad never
dies with his boots on, remarked Read
ing railroad employee at Wayne Junction
yesterday morning. "In my experience Oh
over 20 years have seen perhaps over
hundred cases where people have been
struck and killed by engines, and In every
instance when the body was picked up the
feet were found to be minus shoes. Even
men wearing heavy top boots are not ex.
empt from the invariable rule. Any old
engineer will tell you the same thing. 1t
Is mystery which nobody seems able to
solve, and is as inexpf Able as that other
strange phenomenon or the drowned man
who always floats on top of the water face
downward, while the woman floats lace
onward. "-Philadelphia Record.

MAlNe,s HAUNTED TOWN.


Nearly Every Other HOUSE In Eassea La
. Ghost Of Some Kind.
. 1t IL doubtful II. any town in all New
England has moro ghosts and haunted
houses than Easton. Me. It may well DO
called haunted town. Although the citi-
zens are sensible and well to do farmers,
with all sincerity and almost to man
they vouch for the truth of many tales OF
remarkable and startling supernatural WIS.,
itations.
For years one of the houses In the con-
ter of tho town has stood vacant. Several
attempts have been made 20 occupy 1t,
but no one has ever succeeded In remain
ing within the fated walls for any length
of time. One brave and skeptical youth
recently determined upon On investigation,
and as he Is the scion of one Of tho first
families and tells his story openly 1t Is be-
lieved In implicitly by all Easton people.
Thesflrst night after he bad gone to bed,
leaving the light burning, the shade Of
great dog came into the room right
through the closed door. Advancing to
the bedside, the canine specter regarded
him savagely. He startedup, and the phan-
tom dissolved into thin air.
But the courage of the Investigator fail
| ed him not, and he determined to brave 1t
out. Before he could get to sleep, however,
q woman all in white. with disordered
black hair hanging over her face, made
her appearance, weeping and wringing her
hands. This vivid apparition was accom-
panied by still more grewsome signs from
below. The heavy clanking of a chain re-
verberated through the still house, and
soon deep groans were heard from various
points. BY this time he was thoroughly
frightened, and getting out of bed he went
down to the dining room, where he re-
NAMED the rest of the night listening to
! the noises made by his ghostly compan-
| ions. The house has never been entered
since.
Another Easton man of undoubted We
| racity claims to have seen phantom
woman in broad daylight when the sur
was shining brightly and no thoughts OF
the ghostly were in his mind. 1t was IN
his own home, too, where all was cheerful
and nothing existed to put him in NOR
bid state. She had remarkably white
face, luminous dark eyes, and masses q
dark hair hung in wild disorder about hel
face. He raised his eyes and saw this phan
tom advancing toward him. So real did !
seem that he thought she was morta
woman. He rose and stepped toward her
when she gave him one long, searching
look and vanished into empty space. TIL
piercing glance of those eyes, which, b
says, seemed to penetrate his very soul
haunts him still, although no never ha
had a repetition OF the ghostly visitant

 A DELIGHTFUL RECITAL

Max Treumann gave the first of series of pupil recitals in his studio in the Insurance building last night. There was large attendance and the au- dience numbered several prominent mu- sical people. There was no formal pro- gramme and each pupil sang what he or she desired, MT. Treumann playing the accompaniments. Miss Scranton, Miss Brown, Miss Whitney, Miss Skin ner, and Miss Sadie Thompson were the sopranos; Miss Edith Auger was contralto, and l.. s. Tyler, a basso, was the only male voice heard. All of the pupils showed excellent qualities of voice and method, but in some cases there was such excessive nervousness ble. It is for the purpose of accustom- ing the pupils to public singing that MT. Treumann is giving these monthly additions" Of the sopranos, Miss Skinner, who is the soloist at the Grand avenue church, was voice of lovely quality and especial purity in the upper register. She sang the Jewel song from Faust" and Bartlett's Dreams" Miss Henrietta Whitney, a daughter of Eli Whitney; Miss Flor ence Brown, daughter of R. A. Brown, and Miss Helen Scranton, daughter of Charles w. Scranton, sang songs of Schubert, Newcomb and Bohm very charmingly. Miss Sadie Thomp- son sang the big number of the pro- gramme, the Ocean scene from Web CTS "Oberon" with great intelligence and dramatic fire. Miss Thompson has a voice of rich mezzo quality and wide range and she ought to be heard fre- quently. MT. Tyler is a son of Morris F. T~1er, and for a youth of seventeen has a voice of surprising quality and range. He sang the popular ballad of "Hybrias, the Cretan," and it was re- demanded. MT. Treuman sang three times himself most delightfully."-. It was a pleasant affair and the January recital will be looked forward to with interest.
