Connie Mack's Tip to Killilea Win Be
Carried Out.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 26-President
Matt Killilea, Of the Milwaukee Baseball
club, has practically arranged to have
the Brewers train at Richmond Ind,
where Connie Mack had the men get in
shape last spring Mack recommends
the place very highly as a training
ground and Mr.. KilliIea thinks It would
be much better to have the men report
there for practice than go farther south,
as the experience of many managers in
the past has been that southern weather
is none too good for baseball training
in the spring. Manager Hugh Duffy has
been given full control in the matter,
however, and If he should be Of the
opinion that a trip south viii be neces-

recently Duffy expressed himself as sat

The Daily Short Story
Sergeant Davies Ghost.

Five years passed. and the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of Sergeant Davies
had not been accounted for. Even his
comrades had ceased TO speculate over
It Nor would it probably ever have
been solved but for one man who had
sworn never to cease his inquiries and
Investigations until the murderers of
Sergeant Davies were brought to jus
tice. This man was James Small, for
merly an ensign in the Earl of Lon
don's regiment.
With patient. logged perseverance
and the keen instinct of a born detect
i've he set himself to the task of dis
covering the perpetrators of the crime
and at last succeeded. Bit by bit he
Joined together the stray pieces OF evil
dence until he had a case sufficiently
strong to justify him securing the ar
rest of two highlanders. Duncan Terig,
alias Clerk. and Alexander Balm Mac
donald. The fOwling piece belonging
TO the murdered man had been found
I'm the house of one Of them and trim
kets and valuabIes known to have been
the property of Sergeant Davies had
been seen in the possession of both
men.
The prisoners were arraigned before
the lords of session at o'clock on the
morning of June II. 1854. Then there
was made public the strange story Of
the manner I'm which the crime and its
perpetrators had been discovered.
Alexander Macpherson OF Inverey.
farm servant. aged 20. deposed that
one night In the summer Of 1850. while
in bed in a shealing dhe long turf
matched outhouses in which highland
farm servants sleep in beds ranged
along the WALL. several others being at
the same time i'm the said shealing,
there entered a man dressed in blue
whom he took TO be the brother of
neighbOr. Donald Farquharson of Glen
dee. who came to his bedside and
beckoned him to come out. Macpher-
son rose and followed the figure out
side the door. whereupon the person
turned and said:
lam Sergeant Davies" Then. point
ing to a moss. or tract of swampy land.
known as Christie's hill, he added:
You will find my bones there. Go and
bury them at once, for / can have no
peace nor will / give you any until my
bones are buried, and you may get
Donald Farquharson to help you"
Having spoken these words solemnly
and earnestly. the apparition vanished.
Early next morning Macpherson went
alone TO the spot Indicated by the
wrath, and so exactly had been the in
struetions given by the mysterious Wis
liant that before be had searched five
minutes he came upon a human body
imbedded in the moss.
A few nights later the apparition
again visited Macpherson when he was
i'm he'd in the shealing and reproached
him for not having carried out it's in
structions for burial. urging him at the
same time to lose no time in commit

ting the remains TO the earth. Then
Macpherson plucked up courage 10 ask.
who murdered you:' To which the
apparitiOn replied. Duncan Clerk and
Alexander Macdonald"
On the following day Macpherson
went TO Donald Farquharson, told him
the story and persuaded him to come
and assist to bury the body of the muir
dered man in dry ground. Farquhar-
son went with Macpherson to Chris
ties hill, carried the body away, dug a
grave in dry ground and there buried
the remains. TO all his own share in
the business Farquharson swore posi-
lively and emphatically expressed his
belief that Macpherson had told moth
ing but the truth. The only other per-
son to whom Macpherson confided the
story was John Growar of Dalhownie,
who deposed that Macpherson, under
strict promise of secrecy. told him a
few days after the apparition had ap-
peared for the second time how he. in
obedience to its commands. had. with
the assistance of Donald Earquharson,
buried the body.
But there was still stronger corrobo-
ration of Macpherson's strange story I'm
the evidence given by Isabel Machar-
die of Inverey, who deposed that on the
night on which Macpherson declared
that he saw the apparition for the sec
ond time she, sleeping at the other end
of the shealing, in the portion set apart
for the women, most distinctly saw
something naked come in at the door
and go straight to Macpherson's bed.
which frightened her so much that she
drew the clothes over her head; that
when il appeared it came in a bowling
posture. but she could not tell what it
was; that next morning she asked Mae
phersOn what it was that had troubled
them the night before. and that he had
answered she might be easy, for it
would trouble them no more"
The counsel for the prisoners was one
of the most eminent advocates in Scot
land. Alexander Lockhart. He was a
notorious Jacobite and had gained for
himself much celebrity by defending
the prisoners captured after the rising
of 1745. AS i'm duty bound he threw
ridicule upon this story of the ghost,
and he made his great points when in
cross examination of Macpherson, who
could speak nothing but Gaelic and
whose evidence had to be interpreted
to the court. he said to the witness:
what language did the ghost speak
in?"
To which Macpherson promptly re-
piled. As good Gaelic as ever l heard
i'm Lochaber."
Pretty good for the ghost of an Eng
lish sergeant" said Lockhart, and
there was general laughter In court.
His case was won. The jury's verdict
was mot guilty"

When the time came that he could be
rewarded for this servies ali the in
huence aud patronage of the McKin-
ley administration were enlisted in
his behalf in his campaign for the
senate. Not until it was seen that
this administration influence was
reasonably certain to bring about his
success did Dawes resign as comp
troller.
1t is natural that the governor of
Illinois and other eminent repu blicans
should resent this administration in
termeddliDg in state politics. Ameri-
can commonwealLhs have always teen
quick, and with good reason. to resent
such interference. An administers
tion in Washington with q control OF
the political affairs OF the various
states of the union is dangerous to a
degree. 1t constitutes a most notable
and menacing feature of that strong
centralized government on the Hamil-
tonian basis for which Mr.. Mckinley
and his followers are so strenuously
striving. The Mckinley administ-a-
ton will be strong indeed il Mr.. Nc
Kinley can in time dictate to the
senate and national house of repre-
sentatives- Such a condition would
be truly imperial.
1t remains to be seen how the peo-
pie of Illinois will solve the problem
now confronting them. At present
they are distinctly under the domino
ton of the national machine at Wash
ington. 1t is q situation repugnant
to American thought and Perilous to
American institutions. Gov, Yates
should be encouraged in his fight
against an intermeddling president.
A Yates machine in Illinois would be
infinitely preferable to a Mckinley
machine
