A BOGUS GHOST IN PARIS.
How He Trleked Merchant Into G1x,nR
 Him Money.


 M. Cordier, a retired merchant of Paris much given to consulting spirits fn emergencies, has been tricked in rather amusing manner by an amateur ghost, who resided in rooms contigu- ous to those of the ex-business man, says the London Telegraph. The lat ter lately told friends and acquaint- ances that he had a melancholy mes- sage fram spirit1and to the effect that his son, who traded in Tonquin, had been murdered by pirates. The dis honest neighbof, hearing this, knocked one night at M. Cardier's wall, and an- nouneed that he was spirit who wanted money for masses to be said in a certain church for the repose of the soul of the retired merchants son. 4 sum of 160 francs was required, and the phantom asked M Cordier to be good enough to put it under the first chair on the left side Virgins altar in the church of Saint sulpice. It ap- pears that NJ. Cordier deposited sev- sral 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 unharmed and unhurt. The young man had, in fact, no adven- ture with pirates, and was engaged in very prosaic business ma aters during his stay in the far east. The son laid trap one night for the g@ost. 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 a blow on the head from a big stick brandished by the traveller from Tonquin. The guilty phantom fled, but was pursued down the stairs and into the street by father and sen. The spirit r"oyed to be very snb- stantlal adFenturer, who was recog- nized by the police as a person much wanted for acts of swindling of a di- versiffed and in some instances of a very ingenious sort.

Tale of a Turkev.

From the Swea City Qowa) Herald: Along in the night large turkey climbed from the ridge af the roof on Ole Peterson's house to the top of the chimney and sat down. SO as to get the benefit of the heat from the fire below. Early in the morning Mrs. Peterson and two children sleeping in the room where the hard coal stove was located were discovered to be 1eathly sick and the room was full of gas. The turkey was soon diseov. ered and driven off, but it took quite while for the sick to recover.

Cheap Origin or Dear Brandy.

When we pay S4 bottle for brandy we are apt to overlook the fact that 1t is made of the surplus wine. the cheap. cent-a-quart stuff that nobody but peasants can stomach. This year over 5000. .000 gallons of claret will be dis titled into 2.500000 gallons of brandy.

he FOUGHT AGAINST
MEN WHO SAVED HIS LIFE

Dan Mccarthy, better known as kid
Mccarthy, took an overdose of opium
yesterday afternoon and a physician
worked over him some time at the city
Jail before he was pronounced out of
danger.
He was found in the alley back of the
Opera house and was unconscious at the
time. He was taken to the city Jail in a
hack and after a hasty examination Dr..
Cayley stated that the man was suffer-
ing from opium poisoning but he could
not tell whether it had been smoked or
taken in the form of a drug. An emetic
vas administered and heroic measures
were adopted to keep the man awake. At
times when Mccarthy was sufficiently
aroused to realize that he was being
roughly handled, he hit back and tried
10 break chairs over the heads of the
people who were working to save him.
The work Of rescue was a thankless,
fatiguing task, and the men who per-
formed it were more than glad when
the doctor stated that the man was out
of danger. Whether the opium was
taken by mistake or with suicidal in
tent could not be learned.

AT 4:27 O'Clock yesterday afternoon Mr..

above the Bronx. Edward Wasserman.
a New Yorker, offers to bet SO, 900 to
$1,000 that Mckinley will carry Illinois,.
Several prominent democrats of Butte
have wagered small sums on state cleo
tons. Few democrats, however, are
willing to bet that Bryan will carry his
own state. Several have made small bets
at even money that Bryan will carry
Montana by 5000 votes.

STUPENDOUs FAKE.
The Nome Country is DeIusion
and a Snare. Says R. R. CouI-
ter. of hannah Creek.

r. R. Coulter an old and we'll known
citizen has recently returned from the
Cape Nome region and has many inter
esting stories to tell OF the life ip that
country, which has proved such stu
pendous fake.
he says that everybody is poor there
at present. Many prospectors would
like to got out. but they cannot. They
have no money and no friends.
He said that he carried his ticket
around for two weeks making an effort
to get out and when at last he did get
an opportunity to leave on the boat he
was afraid he would never get through,
a. the boat only drew four feet OF water,
and had no ballast whatever. Mr..
Coulter states that had heavy sea
struck the vessel it would have surely
been lost and had a storm arisen there
would never have been soul left to tell
the tale.
All told, Mr.. Coulter is not sorry that
he took the trip. He said when he left
here that il he did not make a cent he
intended to go for the experience OF the
trip. He said that he had been in the
Grand valley for thirteen years and had
never heen on tho cars since coming here
and he wanted trip Of the kind under
any circumstances. He is now we'll sat
isfled to stay here.
He saw a number of Grand Junction
people at Nome, among them Fred Cor
don who is not mining at all, bat run
ming small business. but even this is
greatly overdone.
w. N. Amsbary was another person he
saw there. He said that Amsbary had
lost his claim long before he arrived
there and that even had he not loet il
that it amounted to nothing.
Great blame 10 laid upon the steam
ship companies for deludi og the people
and Mr.. Coulter said that they would
have long time ahead OF them before
they could again arouse the enthusiasm
for . country which was barren fake,
as they had for the Nome country which
was one Of the most gigantic fakes ever
talked OF in the history OF gold mining
in this country.

OPEN TO THE WORLD.
Fruit Exhibition To Be the Grand
Feature of Peach Day---No One
Barred for the Premiums.

Quite a number OF people have an idea
at the coming fa;. to be held in copjunc-
ton with Peach Day. This is mistake.
There will be more premiums and more
liberal ones than have ever been given
in this county before. The thousand
dollars which was appropriated by the
board OF county commissioners for the
purpose of paying premiums will be
used to make the most liberal premium
list.
The fact is Mesa county in the coming
fruit exhibition bars no one and invites
the competition of the world on fruit.
Theee premiums are not put up to be
hauled down by home growers alone.
1t is the understanding Of the Peach
Day executive committee that all fruit
growers are invited to participate in the
competition and the offer is open to all,
none being barred.
From present indications the fruit ex-
hibit will be the most wonderful ever
brought before the Colorado public. The
crop OF this valley and the points CONT
guous in Montrose and Delta are such
that competition will be lively and only
the very finest fruit can hope to win.
The premium list has been submitted
to the board of county commissioners
and they have endorsed same and it is
now in the the hands of the printer.
competent list Of judges will be &C.
lected who will favor no one, except
those that haze merit. There will be no
little coterie of growers obtaining all the
prizes, without those growers have the
quality of fruit to back their claims.
The Sentinel hopes to impress this
fact upon all who see this article that
Mesa county in the coming fruit exhibit
invites the world to compete. "No one
barred" is the slogan which has been
adopted and it ought to bring the finest
lot of fruit to the exhibition which Colo
RADIO people have ever seen.
