Pneumatic Straw Stacker,

g TWO STORIES OF SPIRITS
One of Which Might Have Been Quite
Easily and Naturally ~Ac- -
counted For.

/,
"When spiritualism was comparative
~ new, and we were youngsters, we
used to hear delightful spooky stories
about mysterious actions of furniture
and things, which one never seems to
hear 4 nowadays. rem ember one about
some people who had guests invited toa
grand dinner, The table was spread
with all the dishes, but the meal had
not yet been served. The family had
great store Of beautiful glass and
china, and it was all on the table. For
a moment the servants were all out Of
the dining-room, and just at that mo-
ment all the people in the rest of the
house heard deafening crash of fall
ing dis hes; from the dining-room there
came the sound of glassware precipi-
tated upon the floor and crushing into
fragments, and in the midst of the roar
OF this wreck there rose to the terrified
ears of the host and hostess the high,
clear notes of the smashing of much
thin china. Everybody in the house
tamlly, guests, servants-rushed to the
dlnlng-room door at the same moment,
expecting to see nothing less than the
table overthrown and every precious
dish on it broken, and what did they be-
hold?. The table set in perfect order
with not thing on it disturbed. What
had made the awful crash? Nobody
ever knew. Not dish was even nicked
IN that house that day. The spirits-so
the story ran to us-had just made
terrible ghostly crash for the fun of it
and the alarm of the household.
Il remember that this story impressed
me great deal more than it would
have impressed me if the dishes had
really been found smashed, though it
could have been proved that no human
being had been in the room at the time
had never before heard of ghost that
was crash and nothing more. fancy
the establishment of those alleged peo-
pie was not greater than that of
TREND of mine over an episode not at
all similar. This gentleman's wife and
daughter were out shopping one after
| noon, and he reached home ahead of
them. So far from feeling grieved and
outraged at not finding them there to
make him welcome, he set to work
pleasantly to give them surprise by
getting them their supper. He hadn't
much in the house, but he set out what
he had, and placed on each of three
plates nice lot of sardines, and then
went out to make them some tea. He
got it made and came back, and looked
at his table in astonishment His sup
per was gone The plates which he had
put on the table were there just whe1e
he had placed them, but they were as
clean as when he put them on. He knew
that there was not another human be-
ing in the house. What sprite had
waited away those sardines?
"This is true story. There was not
another human being in the house, but
the gentleman owned two delightful
cocker spaniels, and they were in the
house. Who can doubt that, as they
licked the plates which had contained
the sardines, they had said to them
selves: Go to; we will make it unnec-
essary for our dear master to wash
these plates? '"-Boston Transcript.

CAME AS A SHOCK.
Opening of HOstilities Not Anticipated
by the Administrations.

Opening of Hostilities Not Anticipat &c d
by the Administration.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Admiral
Dewey on Sunday cabled the navy de-
partment that hostilities had begun be-
tween the American army and naval
forces in and about Manila, and the
Philippine insurgents. The insurgents,
he said, had been the aggressors, and
had been repulsed.
Admiral Dewey's cablegram is IS fol-
lows:
Manila, Feb. 5.-To the Secretary OF the
Navy, Washington: Insurgents here inau-
gurated general engagement yesterday
night, which has continued to-day. Amer
lean army and navy generally successful
Insurgents have been driven back and our
line advanced. No casualties to navy.
DEWEY"
The news came like a shock, for the
administration, though apprised that
an ugly situation prevailed in the Phil
ippines, had chung steadily to a hope
that by tact and patience actual fight
ing mis- ht be averted, and even those
public men who felt that hostilities
would follow, should the treaty be rati-
fled and the United States attempt to
occupy the islands, believed that Aguin-
aldo would not force the fighting when
the treaty of peace was in its most crit
ical stage. Some senatorial opponents
of ratification of the treaty adhere to
their position butsthe general opinion
in Washington is that the news from
Manila insures the ratifica ton of the
treaty this afternoon ...
: Otis Master Of Situation.
- Off Gals noted one little flaw in
Dewey's dispatch, in which he spoke of
the American army and, navy as "gen-
orally successful" conveying just the
least. intimation that<,a some points
the results were not as satisfactory as
at Others. It is inferred here that this
might mean the development of weak
ness at some of the more exposed points
on the American lines, which might be
easily explained by the fact that the
attack was made at night, perhaps in
places where the Insurgents could
creep close up in the shelter of the
tropical jungle that grows nearly into
the town of Manila. Every confidence,

ter of the situation. This confidence is
based not only on Dewey's cablegram,

MILLIONS FOR AN IDEA.

British Admiralty Offers $2s, 10000
For a Yankee Rotary Cylinder.
H. M. Buck, a matchmaker Of Thomp-
sonville, Conn, has invented a rotary
cylinder which is designed to increase
the speed of steamships so per cent and
at the same time do away entirely with
the vibration of vessels. His method is
to utilize all the expansion of steam for
driving power, thus avoiding the
waste, which in the cylinders now in
use is computed at SO per cent. 1t is
this waste which requires the enormous
coal consumption of modern steam yes
sells and the appropriation of an abnor-
mally large space in the vessels hull for
coal bunkers.
Mr.. Buck has opened negotiations
with the British government. AS a re-
suit an engineer came to New York
from England about one month ago and
met Mr.. Buck and saw his model. The
British agent tested it very thoroughly
and approved it. He went back to Eng
land about two weeks ago, taking a
duplicate model with him, having first,
acting in accordance with his instruc-
tions, made the following contract with
the inventor:
"The board of admiralty is to con-
struct a cylinder and test it thoroughly
for six days. If at the end of this time
it be adjudged successful, Mr.. Buck is
TO get 80. 900. 900. If a second test of so
days is likewise successful he is to get
an additional SO, 600, 900 and a final
successful test of 80 days duration is to
bring an additional $40, 900, 900, or
$2s, 600, 900 in all" 1t is the purpose of
the British government to use the cyl
inder in it's warships. Philadelphia

NEW FOREFlNGER RINGS.
Considered Equally Appropriate For
Mel and Women.

Men ana women.
One of the New York jewelers. has
put on sale rings designed for the fore
finger, and this style, which comes from
Paris and London, is said to have made
already some advance in popularity
here. Rings for the thumb were a re-
cent fashion which enjoyed a favor al
most as brief and limited as the vogue
of the monocle for women and its sue
cessor, the walking stick. The ring on
the foreinger never before reached the
dignity of a fashion to the extent that
it has abroad at this time. 1t is consid-
cred equally appropriate for men and
women, and in both cases is usually or
namented with a single stone. This may
be surrounded with smaller stones. The
most fashionable of jewels today is
said to be the ruby, although the sap
phire cabochon is also in demand. For
the forefinger the palmer the ring the
more appropriate is it considered.
Another form of jewelry recently
popular here and confined wholly to
men is worn by those who make a point
to have the things that are latest and
most tasteful in mems dress. With the
studs worn for evening dress-and con-
siderable latitude is permissible in the
matter-it is now about the smartest
thing in the way Of dress to have the
waistcoat buttons, as we'll as the cuff
buttons, match exactly. Thus there are
sets Of these in the jewelry shops made
of rubies, sapphires and %snrquoises. The
buttons are in every case made of gold.
which is usually ornamented, although
in some cases the band about the stone
is perfectly plain. These are worn. Of
course, in a white waistcoat and are
about the only variation in the fashion
of the dress suit which the we'll dressed
Englishman or American allows him
self. 1t is always interesting to note,
in view of the various kinds of fancy
dress shirts put in the shop windows
and described in the fashion papers,
that the well dressed man wears only
the plain white bosom. In the matter
Of jewelry only is some latitude allowed.
