A Startling Greeting.

A few nights ago a local newspaper
youth was sent 10 secure an item of inter-
esting news from a lawyer who lives in
the East End, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer His nome isn't far from Wilson
avenue, and IT isn't far from Euclid ave-
rue.
The reporter. who wanted to secure the
latest Information obtainable for The morn
ing paper deferred his trip to the lawyer
home until late in the evening. In fact. it
was pretty close to IL o'clock before he
reached The proper cross street.
It was a dark night, and most of The

striving 10 make out the numbers, and
finally thought ne had struck The right
one
He assembled the steps and crossed the
porch and felt around until he touched the
bell button and then gave a quick push.
He could hear the bell responding noisily,
but then, before he could breathe twice the
gas suddenly fared up in the dark hall,
The door was thrown wide open and the
dazed and startled youth found himself
confronted by feminine figure arrayed IN
"A snowy night dress, while a voice with
a dreadfully rasping note in it, cried;
well. this is a pretty time of night for
you to get hOme!"
For a moment the reporter chOked.
Then ne managed 70 sputter:
"It-it isn't me, ma'am. I'm only re-
porterr'
AT these words the door was suddenly
slammed shut and The reporter again
found himself in the dark.
But as he went down the steps a slender
ray of light appeared and the same voice,
much toned down, asked him what he
wanted
He gave the lawyers name and was told
the residence he sought was close by on
the opposite side of the street
He is still wondering for whom that
white rObed rod was in pickle.

Ghosts Drove Him to Suicide.

1.-The fear of ghosts has made me nervous
and I decided to take my life" With blood
streaming from two great holes in his
forehead as he lay on a couch at his home
last night Edwin Thorn gave this eXpla-
nation of his attempt at suicide, says the
Philadelphia Enquirer.
Thorn is a night Waterman at the
grounds of the export exposition. He has
been there since the opening day, always
stationed at the far end of the Enclosure,
near the potter's field. The proximity to
the home of the nameless dead revolted
Waterman Thorn. Then a great dread
came over him and through his weary
midnight vigil preyed upon his mind
He was paid off yesterday He return
ed home at o'clock Then ne left the
house. He walked to Twenty-second and
South Streets where he purchased a re-
vOlver. He returned homeward. On the
curb in front of his home he rested.
Drawing the revolver from his pocket
Thorn placed it at his temple and drew
the trigger. Two shots rang out in quick
succession. "Oh, it's papal it's papar
walled a voice. and a little woman knelt
beside the man who lay bleeding in the
street
Thorn was carried into his home. AS he
lay resting, though conscious, he told why
he attempted suicide. 1T was the ghosts, -
said Thorn. They made me nervous.
The man was taken to the Presbyterian
Hospital, where he was pronounced out of
danger last night. Neither bullet took eff
feet, both grazing the frontal bone, with
out penetrating the brain.

DID MIR. BRYAN MAKE A MISTAKEN

1t was said particularly in the Repub-
lican papers, that Mr.. Bryan would make
a very great mistake if he took part in the
campaign in Kentucky and Ohio. He is
back In Nebraska and has begun a wind
ing-up campaign of two weeks in that
state. The papers are now discussing the
question of the effect of his speeches in
Kentucky and Ohio.
From the contradictory statements
which appear in the public prints il Is
very difficult matter TO form an opinion
that is at all valuable as TO the effect
of his efforts in the two states named. II
seems to be pretty generally accepted that
he did not do the cause of Mr.. Goebel
the regular Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor of Kentucky, any good. The feel
ing among the Democrats hostile to Mr.
Goebel is so bitter, that it is practically
impossible to reach them with arguments
or influence them with eloquence And It
may be that these anti-Goebel Democrats
will endeavor to injure Mr.. Bryan when
the time comes for selecting delegates to
the Democratic National Convention, if
the opportunity to do so presents itself
to them. If, however, the Democrats sue
coed in electing their ticket the Celega-
ton will without doubt be for Mr.. Bryan.
In Ohio that he did the cause of Demoo-
racy good there is no doubt. His anil
imperiaHstic and antitrust speeches
aroused the people greatly and alarmed
the Republicans. The Republican papers
said that his remarks in behalf of free
silver met with We little response. That
may be true The 16 to l idea has not a
very strong hold in Ohio. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Bryan did not devote much
time while in that state to discussing the
silver question. He is too good a cam
paigner to fail to study his audiences.
There is a strong sentiment In Ohio
against making a permanent possession
of the Philippines and against trusts. SEN
ator Hanna is trying TO explain his posi-
ton in respect to trusts to his Ohio con-
stituents, but he does not seem 10 be max
ing much Roadway. He is in favor OF
trusts which do not hurt the people, he
says, but is against other kinds of trusts.
AS matter of fact the people know that
he is in favor of trusts, and they are be-
ginning to believe that the Republican
| party is in favor of them. That Is the
reason that he makes out SO poorly in his
effort to explain his position in respect to
trusts.
The election in Nebraska will disclose
| quite accurately whether Mr. Bryans
! speeches have been effective this fall. II
the Republicans are defeated in that state
| the oDinion that he was a poWerfuI in
| fiuence for Democracy in all the states
| in which he took part in the campaign
will be a pretty correct one.

Daniel H. Chamberlain, VINO resides at
Brookfield, Mass, has been nominated by

Chamberlain will be remembered in this
section Of the country as the last Re
publican Governor of South Carolina, hav-
ing been defeated for reelection in 1876
by Gen. Wade Hampton. At that time Mr..
Chamberlain was affiliated with the car
pet-bae Radical-Republican gang that dis
graced South Carolina during the recon

shown that he was implicated in any Of
the gangs nefarious operations. During

Convention. There are few men who man

Some queer things are happening up in

ed a real lively, stirring campaign, but II
is having one now. The ex-Speakers for

nominated by the Republicans to be Mr..
Reeds successor, while Parson Luther
Mckinney is the Democratic candidate.
Mr. Allen has declared himself in favor
of the administration Philippine policy,
and is making speeches along that line.
Parson Mckinney, on the other hand, is
praising Tom Reed and denouncing the
philippine war, employing many quota
tons from Reeds expressions in so doing.
As a consequence the district is pretty well
worked up. 1t remained faithful to Reed
and his convictions for a good many
years. and Parson Mckinney is now point.
ing out to the voters that ne, and not
