Habeas Corpus For Ryan,

Ex. Congressman Handy made applicn-
ton for writ of hebeas corpus In behalf
of Chas G. Ryan, an inmate Of the Ferris
Industrial School, before Chancellor
Nicholson this morning md obtained the
order on which Ryan will be brought into
court tomorrow at 10 O'Clock.
Mr.. Handy seeks to have Ryan released
from the school Of which ho has been an
inmate for several years
The school trustees will vigorously re-
sist the application. The case is tho first
one of its kind In the history of tho school.
and the trustees claim that to release Ryan
would DO u dangerous precedent for the
court to establish. Much other business
was transacted iu both the Cbancery and
Orphans courts.
Several tru tees and guardians of minor
children were appointed, and motion to
dismiss the bill Of Mary Bringhurst vs..
the Delaware Bank Union Bank, Ed dy ard
Tatnall and tho Charles Warner Com
pnny was made.
Action on tho motion was deferred how
ever until the court considers u motion by
Hoffecker and Hoffecker counsel for the
Delaware Bank,
In the Crumbish case the court decided
that the head Of trusts which caused liti-
ca ion should stand.

A SPOOK PHOTOGRAPH.
1t Was Easy to Make, but 1t Puzzled
the ExDerts.


A photographer of this city opened q
little drawer in his roll top desk and took
out somewhat battered carte de visitc
of the size and shape popular 80 or 40
years ago 1t represented young man
seated at table. and behind him was
the very dimly outlined figure of u wom-
an. The young man wore the costume of
the antebellum dandy, and the woman
seemed to have crinoline under her vol.
luminous skirts. She was barely discern
ible, and the legs Of the table could be
seen through her dress
That" said the photographer smiling
ly, "is good specimen Of the spirit pho
togrnphs' which once created such fu-
rorc in this country. AS you may see by
the stamp, it was taken by John U. Gait
on Broadway, New York, and consider
ing the progress of the art in tLose days,
it is a very creditahle piece Of work from
a technical standpoint.
'"The spirit figure, which puzzled scicn-
lists and gave rise to all sorts Of prepos-
ferrous theories, is such palpable trick
that it is hard for modern operator to
understand how anybody could have been
deceived by it. The plates of that period
were very slow, ana an exposure OF from
60 to so seconds was necessary to secure
fairly sharp image.
"In this picture the woman was evil
IDENTIFY given an exposure of about five
seconds and the plate laid away in the
dark against the arrival of the dupc.
When the litter took his place. the cam
era was uncovered for the full time, and
the result you can see before you. The
spook picture was made Intentionally
very dim so that the face could be recog-
nized for almost anybody, and the whole
thing was as easy as rolling off n log.
Any modern amateur could do the work
with S. machine, yet these little cards
were eagerly purchased at $50 apiece in
gold. The world has certainly moved
since then, hasn't it"-New Orleans
Times Democrat.

SeafOrd Defeated,

dred Cambridge people went on an excu7-

cured players from the cities and was
confident of victory. The first Of the game
was watched with breathless interest but
it became apparent after awhile that Sea-
ford was ou classod at every point and
had hired the wrong players. Brown and
Manner were tile battery for Cambridge
and Townsend and Marine for Seaford
On tho arrival at home of the Cambridge
players they were met by 1900 people
with brass bands and horns, A supper
specially prepared for them was served
