A BOGUS GHOST IN PARIS.
How He Trlcked q Merchant Into GIvln.
Him Money.


M. Cordler, a retired merchant OF
Paris much given TO consulting spirits
in emergencies. has been tricked in a
rather amusing manner by an amateur
ghost. who resided in rooms contigu-
Gus to those of the ex-buslness man.
says the London Telegraph. The lat
ter lately told friends and acquaint-
ances that he had melancholy mes
sage from spiritland to the effect that
his son, who traded In Tonquin, had
been murdered by pirates. The dis
honest neighbor, hearing this, knocked
one night at NJ. Cardier's wall, and an
nounced that he was a spirit who
wanted money for masses to be said in
a certain church for the repose of the
soul OF the retired merchants son. A
sum Of 100 francs was required, and
the phantom asked NJ. Cordier to be
good enough to put II under the first
chair on the left side Virgins altar in
the church of Saint Sulpice. 1t ap-
pears that M. Cordier deposited sew
eral donations for the ghost under the
chair, and the money was regularly
taken away. In the meantime, the
son supposed to be dead came home
from Tonquin unframed and unhurt.
The young man had, in fact, no adven-
ture with pirates, and was engaged In
very prosaic business matters during
his stay In the far east The son laid
a trap one night for the ghost, who
was invited by Cordier senior to walk
into his fiat in the dark. No sooner
had the spirit entered the room than
he received blow on the head from a
big stick brandished by the traveller
from Tonquin. The guilty phantom
fed. but was pursued down the stairs
and into the street by father and son.
The spirit proved to be a very SUBJ
stantial adventurer, who was recog-
nized by the police as a person much
wanted for acts of swlndling Of a d.
versified and in some instances OF Il
very ingenious sort.

AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY
Dark Continent Is Undergoing Won
derfuI Transformation.

From the Forum: The twentieth
century Africa promises startling con-
trasts when compared with the Africa
Or the nineteenth century. With an
area four times as great as that OF the
United States, population Of $50 co.,,
0OO, a soil and climate capable of in
Unite variety Of production. a rapidly
expanding commerce, and the greatest
known supplies of ivory. gold and dia-
monds, its development under the mod
ern methods which are now being APP
piled to it is practically assured. The
home of the Oldest civilization it is
the last of the continents to yield to
the touch of the newest civilization.
But yesterday enveloped in darkness
Of mystery without and ignorance
within, it is today Illuminated by the
searchlight Of modern methods, and as
its Importance and attractions are be-
ing recognized, with this recognition
must come development. With 1000
600 Europeans scattered over its vast
area, acquainting themselves with its
natural conditions and requirements,
with the steamer, the railroad, the tele-
graph and the telephone carrying light
and knowledge and civilization to its
darkest corner, Africa cannot long re-
main unknown or unknowing II was
only after the explorers-Livingstone,
Spoke, Stanley and others-had dis
covered, through persistent and heroic
effects, that there existed vast navig-
able water ways above the falls near
the mouths of the great streams which
flow from the interior that European
nations awoke to the physical and
commercial possibilities of Africa, and
then, in twinkling, the dark continent
was seized upon and divided up and
became, as by magic, vast European
"hinterland." Between 1884 and 1898
an area two and half times the size
Of the United States, and containing a
population of 1OO,000,000, was par
celed out by an agreement of the Eu-
ropean powers. At present scarcely a
foot of African territory remains I'M
claimed.

SABLE ISLAND PONIES.
Their Names Arc In Some Instance.
Three Yards Long.

Their Names Are In Some Instances
Three Yards Long.
The story OF animal life on Sable
island Is strange. Roaming the sandy
wastes are herds OF wild ponies guard
ed by patriarchal stations, says Aims
lees Magazine. These ponies resemble
The horses on the sculptures of Nine
veh, and approach the beholder SEEM
ingly out of the framework of antiqui-
ty. They are stocky and remarkable
for their long names, which in in
stances have been known to grow to
the length OF three yards. These po-
MES are the remnant of a stock thought
to have been left by some Portuguese
Observation-Disclosures" the oil &C.
ords quantity call them-who t. aei
at the islands on their fishing ,di-
ton at even an earlier date tn; tho
Marquis de la Roche. At one time there
were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the
island, but their number has been de-
creased by expectation, the severity Of
the winters and, some people think,
by the importation OF improved, do
nesticated stations, which have made
the stock less hardy and consequently
more susceptible to death from expos
ure. There are now between eighty
and 100 wild ponies and about thirty
for domestic use. Mounted on ponies,
the life savers gallop over the dunes
and among the hillocks on their long
patrols, and the liteboats are drawn to
the scenes OF shipwreck by teams Of
five ponies, three at the shaft, and two
leaders. Some Of the ponies are sent
to Halifax every year or two, and
are sold at auction at an average price
Of from SIS to SIS.

DISTRICT COURT NEWS,


The April term OF the district
court has been in session now
about two weeks and is presided
over by his Honor Judge Steele
who is transacting the business
rapidly and satisfactorily to oil
parties. Nearly all tho attorneys
of:the county have been present dur
ing the greater part Of the time so
far, and express themselves a. being
highly pleased with the Judges
manner Of transacting business at
this term.
The grand jury brought in a
number of true bills and most Of
the parties have been arrested and
brought into court, and with the
exception of those who were un-
able to give bonds, are now on
bail pending their trials. The
sheriff has been very busy
gathering up Witnesses and parties
charged with criminal offenses.
There is an immense grist Of bust
ness to be transacted, and the
session promises to be q highly
interesting one.
Nearly all the criminal cases
have been set for trial within the
next two weeks. The case of the
people against Holt for grand
larceny, cattle stealing, was called
for trial on last Friday and after
some preliminary motions, q jury
was called and the state proceeded
with it's evidence. Saturday
evening the state had concluded
its evidence. Holt, although ably
defended by attorneys McNamee
and Worth, was found guilty on
Monday evening and next Satur-
day morning was fixed as the time
for passing sentence By the way
of explanation John Clugston, who
was held also, turned States evil
dence and while the evidence
showed he was implicated in the
matter, it appeared necessary to
have his testimony in order to
force one of the material witnesses
for the state to attend the trial,
and possibly without the evidence
OF Clugston the strong case against
Holt would not have developed.
There was not sufficient evil
dence against Williams or Mcleod
to justify the state in putting them
on trial.
In the case of Mary L. Basrick
against Willard Il. Barrick a decree
Of divorce was granted for the
plaintiff.
Reg arding the gambling cases
the one against Cooper for per-
hitting gambling in his house. is
liked for Monday the 21st. The
other against Gordon and Harris
