French Ghost Hunters.

Members Of our own Society Of
Psychical Research, which, by tina
way, has not been much in evidence OF
late, should be interested in the fate
which has befallen the French body
with identical aims known as La So
ciete des Sciences Psychiques. The
latter has just been reduced to state of
hopeless disruption by the conduct of a
section Of its adherents who, presum-
ably weary Of combining their psychical
researches to the chasing Of elusive
"spooks have gone astray after such
livelier branches Of occult science as
the preparation Of talismans, the con-
cocting Of love philters and the telling
Of fortunes. !
The earnest ghost hunters, disguised
By this descent to the methods Of the
common or commercial charlatan, have
resigned in body and formed new
society Of their own. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that those who remain

His Life on the
Craft.


Mrs. Jennie Donaldson, of No. or Uc.
llud street. Ches ;er, has received letter
from her sou Al,rel who Is one of the
crew OF the gunbCat Wilmington. The
letter tells many things of interest which
have not before appeared in print, we
therefore publish it in full: U. S. 5. Will
mington, Key West, Fla,
May 2Sth, 1893.
Dear Mother:
lam in receipt of your letters and am
very glad to hear from you. A few DAYS
ago when we were with SIMPSONS squad
ron looking for the Spanish ilee;, four of
the boilers on our ship played out. Our
engines are almost gone We had to come
into Key West harbor with steam under
only two boilers. 1t was about all we
could do to get to the port and when with
in about a mile Of the harbor our stea.-
ing gear became disabled Our ship is IN
a very bad condition in relation to steam
power. The way things look now it will
be some tina before We can leave Key
West, possibly five or six weeks aud per-
haps longer. The government will send
our ship TO Norfolk, while we sailors
will be detailed for duty on other vessels.
am very sorry that we have broken
down for with the rest OF my comrades
wanted to stay on the Wilmington, as we
like our captain and another reason for
l.
we are all anxious to be one of SIMPSONS
fleet SO that We could help to whip the
Spaniards. Ceryeras fleet cannot last
long If Sampson meets If. They have but
five ships while Sampson has fourteen
good ships. Admiral SIMPSONS fec
comprises two batteshps, three monitors,
five cruisers and four gunboats.
do wish that we will be with Sampson
when he bombards Havana, as don't
want to miss Anything of that nature.
You ask Inc in you letter If was afraid.
will answer by saying, no. 1t i, fun
for me to fire the guns. The only thing
that bothers me is tho noise the big
guns make when they go off. The noise
almost deafens person, l do not exp CT
to get hurt and will come home all right,
safe and sound.
To-day is pay day and all the men are
happy. The only other thing we want is
a big battle with the Spanish feet, when
we will show them how we Americans can
handle big guns. l will close now, SO
goodbye. Your Son,
ALFRED

OLD MESA LIFEr
The Pueblo Woman Was Always the Head
Of the Household.

The Pueblo Woman Was Always the Head
Of the Household.
When the men went down to the
fields, the pueblo was really in control
of its rightful owners, the women. In
these old communities the woman was
the important partner in the household.
She was the owner Of the house and all
it contained She built it and furnished
1t with its utensils Of daily use. The
children traced descent through the
mother and took her clan name. The
mans position, other than mere pro-
wider, was that Of an honored guest,
and If he presumed disagreeably on his
position more likely than not he was
sent back to his own home. Far from
being the general slave and pack animal
that is her sister of the plains tribes,
the Pueblo woman's duties were purely
domestic, and if she ever worked in the
field it was for the common good, to
save the scanty harvest in time of need.
The grinding of the many colored
corn for bread, the weaving and the
making Of pottery were her principal
occupations and are to this day. The
Pueblo Indians are par excellence the
potters Of the southwest, and it will be
confessed that they come fairly by the
title, as an examination of some of the
old time ware will prove, although in
this case, as in some others, tho evolu-
ton has not been for the better.
In the small house cell or in the white
sunlight the potter sat, and, with
scarcely any tools at all, fashioned such
specimens Of the potter's art as to chal.
lenge admiration from us with all our
appliances. The use Of the potter's wheel
was unknown, and the throwing" of
shape by this means out of the ques-
ton; but with hollow bit of basket
ware or piece of broken pot for sup
port all the forms from simple food
bowl up to the largest and most elabo-
ratio water jars were built up by coil on
coil Of clay, smoothed or modelled in
pattern as tho vessel grew, and when
one examines some of the ancient pieces,
notably those excavated by DR.. Fewkes
of the Smithsonian institution, one can
but marvel
Then came the decorating, and in ev-
cry case, frorl tho simplest to the most
elaborate and intricate symbolic design,
ono must confess that the Indian uses
the trucst ircoptive and fundamental
crt principles. There never is any waste
of energy in EFFECT" The design al
ways means n concrete thing, which
appeals to the understanding of the In
dams for whose use tho utensils are.
Through these same pottery ferns and
their decoration runs one of the stron-
Gest chains binding the old to the new.
Near ne arc two tinajas or water jars.
One is many generations, perhaps cen.
turios, old, tho other perhaps five years,
and yet i'll shape and general decoration
they arc much alike, and if the newer
enc was properly toned" they would
pass as of the same period. -Fernand
Lungren in Century.

Trenton, June Frank A. Mcgowan,
Jr., son Of exMayor Mcgowan, yester-
day instituted suit for $4,000 damages
against Assistant Secretary of State
Alexander H. Hickey. Mcgowan was
arrested some time ago on a charge
of completely in the robbery of Rickeys
house. Several hundred dollars in
money and some valuable papers were
taken. The papers were afterwards re-
turned by mail to Hickey from New
York. Two experts claimed that the
address on the envelope containing the
returned papers was in Magowan's
handwriting. The recent Mercer county
grand jury failed to indict Mag6wan,
and yesterdays suit is the result.
