The various members of a Christmas
house party were sitting around the big
hail fireplace. with no other light than the
ieaping, ftful flames from the blazing
driftwood, which burned blue and green
and scarlet with many a hiss and crackle.
They We're telling ghost stories, says
The New York Tribune.
Yes, ] nave actually seen a ghost, -"
said one of the group, land what made it
more uncanny, it was in broad daylight
in practical, crowded busy New York.
That is, l feel sure that l saw one, but ]
was made 50 uncomfortable about the oc-
currence that l stopped at my doctor
before going home. and he said that it was
all stuff and nonsense and that my liver
was out Of order and gave me a preserip-
ton. But this is what / saw, or thought
I saw:
"As we have moved away up town, on
the east side of Fifth avenue, l boarded,
as l often do after shopping, Third ave-
nue. elevated train at Twenty-third street.
1t was about l o'clock in the afternoon.
The car l entered was not crowded, and di-
aSonaliy opposite the cross seat in which
seated myself was another that was empty.
AT Twenty-eighth street a man got in and
took the vacant seat, a red-faced middle
aged, burly looking mechanic, I judged by
his dress. as he wore flannel shirt with
out a collar, and was in what were evi.
IDENTIFY working clothes although clean and
respectable As he took his seat, and af-
ter the car had started, a woman in black
who seemed to have got up from another
place where she was seated. came forward
and took the vacant place beside him,
with an eager, possessive look, so to
speak, which made me carelessly think
she must be relative, and l looked to see
his gnPpfic.ad rzrba he
TO greet her. He seemed, however quite
unconscious of her presence, and what
struck me suddenly as very odd, he glanc-
ed carelessly toward the other side of the
car, just as if he looked through her, the
woman meanwhile regarding him with a
wistful look that was quite pathetic She
seemed woman of about 3d. and had an
interesting, refined face, although sharp
ened evidently by Illness, which, with
her large, dark eyes, dusky hair and black
garments gave her a shadowy appearance
that was peculiar. l also saw to my sur
prise that she was dressed in a rusty black
suit, cut with large sleeves which were in
vogue several years ago. l say 10 my
surprise, for / had noticed that women of
that class invariably follow the fashions,
and would no more wear a gown that was
distinctly out of style than would milady
of Murray Hill. All at once. without warn
ing, chill run down my backbone.
" That woman is no woman l said to
myself with conviction. She is a ghost
The man cannot see her. and 1 assure you
as l thought this / actually saw the man
put his arm, on the seat and it passed
right through the fimsy shadow of her
veil
Was I dreaming? No. There sat the
man and the woman, a commonplace
enough looking couple to a casual obser-
yer, and no one but myself appeared 10
notice them. BY this time l had arrived
a my station where l got out, and the af-
fair has ever remained a mystery. But
nothing could ever persuade me that had
not seen veritable spirit"

The Democratic Club of New York. of
which Richard Croker is The head, is to
be open to women daily after the second
week in February. It is the common ac-
ceptance that whenever Mr.. Croker does
anything a political motive exists for do
ing Il. Has Mr.. Croker reached the con-
clusion that womans political influence
is largely on the increase and that il may
not he a great while before she will WELD
the ballot on a footing with man? At all
events, the presence of ladies in the club
rooms viii have refining influence upon
the men who gather there.

Speaking with reference to the ratil-
cation Of The treaty and the policy Of ex-
pansion, the New York Tribune asks?
shall the minority dictate?" That is
usually the cry when majority feels that
IL is losing ground; that its arguments
are being weakened by the onslaughts OF
reason and justice and truth; that its
adherents are wavering. Shall the mi
norty dictator is one thong of the lash
used TO whip weakened or lukewarm
partisans to the support of the party.

Several mysterious stories are afioat re-

is that those fine hollow wires were thrown
away as junk fifteen years ago, and
that the steel cylinder under the floor had

Another is that Richard Croker of New
York knows great deal about Keeley's
secret, and may take hold of a company

Respecting the Presidents promise of
immunity to witnesses before the war in

bears upon the Eagan case, the New Or

dons any verdict of conviction by the
United States civil and military courts
after judgment has been pronounced; but
he canno. grant license and immunity be-
fore hand for any crimes that may be aft

OF our position in the Philippines the
Pittsburg Dispatch Rep) says: 1T is a
miserable business. The prospect for war
fare between the American army and the
Tilipinos could have been averted by a
simple, straightforward avowal of gem
uine American prinicples-that the Philip
pines should be independent as soon as the
details of orderly government could be ar
ranged and established. That assurance
was not given because a political element
is eager to possess foreign territory en-
joy the spoils of Office and exploit the gov
eminent concessions that go by favor of
the bureaucracy. 1t is no matter to that
element whether thousands of American
young men and other thousands of Philip
pine blacks are sacrificed on the altar of
their greed. 1t is a miserable business"
The Chattanooga Times Oem) is dis
gusted with the pocket borough state of
Nevada and would like to read it out of
the union. The Times does not like the
doctrine of "once a state always a state"
and asks: What would become of that
ridiculous political superstition if Nevada
became quite entirely depopulated? Would
Congress then accept wild burros and
grizzlies as members and senator's? Ne
vada. began business. in 1854 with some
64 eco population. This fell 10 1900 in 1870
rose again TO 1900 in 1880, and fell 60 800
in 1890 and is now rapidly receding.
Presently il will rot off the limb and the
country will be well rid of the thing"
The Nashville American Oem.) takes
the other side of the question, thus: THE
Times forgets that enough men would al
ways remain behind TO hold the federal Of
fees so that the wild burros and grizzlies
would not have a complete monopoly of
the pie South Carolina got us into some
trouble some forty years ago by insisting
that stale could leave the union, as the
Times well remembers. IL a state cannot
so out of its own volition, how can 1t be
forced out against its volition? We re-

The Dutch Housewife.

The Dutch woman is before and above
all things a housewife. Indeed, her
love of home comes near akin to Wor-
ship, and the greatest compliment that
can be paid to her is to praise the neat
ness and sweetness of the house that is
her kingdom She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanli-
ness, and even in the very poor quarters
of the cities. where the houses are small
and crowded together, the windows are
daintily decked with curtains of spot
less white the rooms well swept AMI
tidy, the humble furniture carefully
busted and polished. This desire for
cleanliness, in fact. almost amounts to
a craze, and housewives and servants
alike evince a strong Partially for
scrubbing, cleaning and washing. Even
in well-to-do families a domestic train
ing is considered a natural and neces-
Sary adjunct of the daughters educa-
ton, and each has certain household
duties apportioned to her. She is like
wise taught to make her own dresses,
to knit her own stockings, and to keep
her wardrobe in repair Nor does she
shirk these duties, as it is to be feared
so many of her English sisters do, on
the contrary, they are carried out faith
fully, 'cheerfully, and as a matter of
course, and it is due to this excellent
training in her girlhood days that the
Dutch woman makes so model house
wife. We might go further and say
that it is through this training that the
Dutch girl has earned the reputation of
being free and light of heart, and a
stranger to the feeling of ennui,'' since
she is always BEAUTIFULLY and helpfully
employed.-GirlS' Realm.
