WASHINGTON GHOSTS.
Specrers Which Haunt the City
and Suburbs.
SPIRIT OF THE CAPITOL CRYPT.

Weira Phantom. Said to Have
Int rest Chastity Legends Along
the Potomac River.
Washington is said to have more
ghosts than any other city of its size IN
the " 3rld. The corridors and corners.
the crypts and vaults of the capitol itself
are the scenes of many such creepy"
stories :. Even the busy chambers them
selves are not exempt, and the spirits of
the mighty dead. we are told on good au-
thority. may sometimes be seen fitting
restlcssly among once familiar scenes.
On a busy all night session. about 3
O'Clock IN the morning, more than one
new member has nervously asked a
neighbor if he does not hear queer noises
and, CHANGING toward the statuary hall,
has vowed that the statues of the old
heroes of debate make him creep with
their eerie grooming.
In the very spot in the old house where
the new member may be standing Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams died at the ripe
age of 81. They laid him the sofa
against the wall, where a little tablet
marks the place. and ever since then
about that hour of the night. amid the
noise and hustle of business. the ring of
voices and the darting TO and fro of
pages, fretfHl murmuring and weary
signs from dim corners and recesses be
tray the presence of impatient ghosts
longing To ningle once more in the famil-
lar battle of brains.
The ancient suburb Georgetown has
had more time for accommodating good
lasting ghosts, the linga- shira variety.

purpose that at least is admira BILE in its
assidulty. Some of these are older and
more established specters than the 9th
ers. and one of the greatest standing in
the community is located above the
town. 1T the Great falls. He is known as
the drummer boy of the Potomac" and
is the representative of a Revolutionary
regiment.
The story, which. far as the story
goes. is well authenticated. is that the
boy was drowned while crossing the riv
at the falls under circumstances which |
attached a suspicion of foul play to his |
disappearance. Since that time he has
not been seen, but on stormy nights his |
drum is heard above the roar of the falls |
and quite distinct from the rushing of the |
water beating out ghostly long roll that |
sends 1, thrill to the hearts of the hearers
and is supposed To betoken misfortune to |
the one who is unfortunate as to be an |
audience at the spectral serenade.
Another specter of the same region is /
a headless horseman. like the ghostly |
trooper of Sleepy Hollow. made famous /
by Irvtn='s story. The stamping ground |
of this rider is the strip of land known as
the Lowgrounds lying between the river /
and the canal above Georgetown. This /

This bit of road. not quite mile in

The use of the fan originated in China
anu sprang from the following incident:
\ royal princess. very beautiful, was as
slstlng at the feast OF lanterns, her face
covered with a mask. as usual The ex
cessive heat compelled her to remove it,
and in order to guard her features from
the common gaze she moved it quickly
to and fro in front of her face. thus
simultaneously hiding her charms and
cooling her brow. The idea was at once
adopted throughout the kingdom. Cath
crime de- Medici carried the first fan from
Italy ever seen in France. and in the
time of Louis XIV the fan covered with
jewels was worth a small fortune.
