GHOST ORDERS A HAT

Strange Customer shows Rare Taste
An selection of "a Bonnet which
Has. Thus EaRr, Not Been
Called For.

That spirits do return from the
grave and appear TO mortals is a
proposition that for ages has had
its believers and diSbelievers, bat in
the little town of Dublin, Ind, there
is now only one opinion, and that IS
that spirits do walk the earth at
times in mortal form. The reason for
this pronounced belief at Dublin is
an occurrence which has recently
taken place there and which is so
well vouched for that there is not a
skeptic in the town.
Dublin. says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Is occupied by a well-to-do
and intelligent class OF people,
shrewd, hard-headed specimens of
the Hoosier type. a class that is not
led away by it's emotions. and is in
tensely practical. Among the resi-
dents is a Mrs. Sallie Smith, who has
lived there many years and who con-
duets a millinery store.
One day last May a nice-looking old
lady came into Mrs. Smiths store.
She appeared TO be about 20 years
old, and was tastefully dressed in
black. She introduced herself TO Mrs.
Smith as Mrs. M, and said that
she had oniy recently come 10 Dub
lin and wanted to order n bonnet.
The selection of this and the deter
mination of it's trimmings proved to
be long operation, for old ladies are
quite as fastidious as the young ones
when it comes to the selection of a
bonnet.
During the work of choosing the
bonnet Mrs. Smith and her customer
got quite well acquainted. In the
course of their conversation Mrs.
Smith learned that her customer was
the sister of Mrs. Rhoda Section, of
Brownsville, Ind, who is well known

to her, and that Mrs. M was well
acquainted with many of Mrs. Smiths
people. When the customer left she
said she felt rs if she had always
known Mrs. Smith because she knew
her family so well and had heard her
sister, Mrs. Section, speak of Mrs.
Smith so often. The last seen of Mrs.
M she was standing underneath a
shade tree in front of Mrs. Smiths
house.
A few weeks later another lady
called at Mrs. Smiths store to order
a bonnet. She, too, gave her name as
Mrs. M, and said that she had
only recently moved to Dublin.
There was a decided resemblance be-
tween the former customer of that
name and the last, and yet the last
had something about her that puz-
gled Mrs. Smith and made her doubt
full of the identity. Finally Mrs.
Smith became satisfied that it was
the same woman, and remarked that
ceeding was ready for her.
The customer was greatly sur
prised.
"You must be mistaken" she re-
marked to Mrs. Smith. 81 am a
stranger in the town and have not
only not ordered any bonnet of you,
but have never been in your place be-
fore"
Mrs. Smith looked at the woman
and was puzzled. She looked like
her former customer, and yet there
was a something about her that did
not appear the same. Mrs. Smith
finally became convinced that she had
made a mistake, and this led her to
tell her customer all about her previ-
GUS visitor. Mrs. M appeared
greatly interested In the narrative
and asked Mrs. Smith to describe
her former customer. When the lat
ter had done so Mrs. M said:
"You have described my dead sis
ter. She was older than I, and we
married twin brothers"
Mrs. M then told Mrs. Smith
that her sister had died at Indian
apolis in September, 1900, and was
buried in the cemetery in the west
part of Dublin. Mrs. M is 6s
years old, while her sister, had she
lived, would have been 20. She is
not spiritualist, but is satisfied
that IL was her sister that called on
Mrs. Smith and ordered hat. The
bonnet that was ordered, a small
black Tuscan straw, prettily trimmed
with black chiffon, is still in Mrs.
Smiths possession, and she does not
expect Ii to be called for.
"And I'm not going to sell It, eth
err" she says. Its the first bonnet
I ever had ordered by a spirit, or
that ever heard of one ordering,
and Pm going to keep it Just as a
specimen of the taste of spirits in
millinery"

MRS. WILCOX'S
PAPER IS OUT
An interesting Pot Pourri of
Political and Social
Matters.

! Mrs. Theresa WilcoX's paper, the
Home Rule Republican, made its APP
pearance on Saturday, printed in Eng
| Jish and Hawaiian. The editor of the
English side is Solomon Meheula, late
clerk of the House of Representatives
In his salutatory this gifted man says:
1t will be the object of this paper TO
teach and reiterate the knowledge that
| the -'shiboleth equal rights does not
mean license, or the liberty to have your
own wav despite the rights and objec-
lions of others, but that it is a very pre-
| cicus privilege obtained by other races
and nations through much suffering and
| seIf-deniaI. We, the Hawaiians, nave
| willy "nirly' had this inestimable
hoor conferred on us through the ext
pencies and necessities of the United
| States in their Spanish-American war
The past is gone and irreyocable. Some
of us Hawaiians no doubt would
| gladly welcome back the former condl-
| tfons of theings, if things could be re-
stored TO Just how they We're during the
monarchy. but the majority of us recog-
nize the futility of such dream and de-
sire with all our hearts to educate such
| of our race to the point of understanding
and approaching the glorious boon OF
| .euuaI rights of the free and unre-
| stricted ballot.
/
| into any useless controversy with either
| the old republican party, the democratic
| party, or any other political party or
parties. But we do propose to stand up
for equal rights, opportunities and treat
ment for those of the aboriginal race
as for his white or foreign brother or
sister knowledge, attachments and char
acter being equal.
We do not propose to stand supiuely by
and see the white brother given ii higher
wage or position for the same work or
qualificat lions of the brown skin brother.
Nor do we propose to let the irregulari-
| ties of a white official be condoned with
out protest and a poor kanaka
official pilloried for the same or
less offense. We warn all con-
cerned that for every such exhibition of
partially. will draw the parallel and
leave it to the public to judge.
The special features of the English
side of the paper are an attack upon
the genealogical claim of Mrs. Defries
and nine local brevities, of which these
are four:

MAUD MULLER-LATER ON.

Maud Muller, older grown, and gray,
Put on some juice to boil one day
Her brow was furrowed deep with care,
Her large and homely feet We're bare.
Her hands and arms were stained with
red
And an old torn hat was on her head.
She watched that juice, she poked the
fire,
She saw the foam rise higher and higher.
1t boiled all morning. and at noon,
She took some of r. in a spoon
And set it out of doors to cool,
Just as the children came from school.
''Drat the plumsH' she said, and lit her
pipe.
Like as not the things was all too ripe,,
Her man came home-unlearned and
poor
And shuffled in through the kitchen
door.
She gave him the rude, unfeeling snub,
And he and the children ate cold grub.
And all the rest of the dreary day,
She boiled, and boiled, and boiled away.
And ever and anon she tried
That plum juice, and she sighed and
sighed
And put more in, and boiled again
TIL she was tired out, and then.
She eyed the product through her glasses.
And cried Twas only plum moIasses.
For of all sad words. as I've heard tell
The saddest are these: 1T lust WONT

PORTS IN GENE AL

There were no developments today in the
negotiations for the sale of the Washingt on
Base Ball Club to President Postal of De-
troit. Attorney Al1or. who is in the city
representing Mr.. Postal, said at noon that
there was nothing new to say, and that he
expected to finish up matters by Friday.
Notwithstanding that the story published
in The Star last evening was contrary to all
other reports regarding the future of the
club gentleman high in the councils of
the local base ball stockholders said this
morning that the article was a true state
ment of the case. The friends of Mr.. Man
ming are doing some energetic hustling to-
day in their endeavors to keep the popular
manager in Washington, and it is more
than possible that an announcement which
will please the local fang will be given
out tomorrow att #-
There will be a meeting of the stockhold-
ers this evening, and at that meeting it is
expected that matters will be brought to a
head. There Is no denying the fact that
the Washington stockholders want Mr. Man
ming to continue in control of the sena-
torial outfit, and if it is possible to bring
about such a condition of affairs it will be
done. MI Manning reiterates his statement
that he wants to get out of base ball, owing
to his relations with the American League,
but notwithstanding this fact 1t is more
than possible that he may be persuaded to
stay In Washington another year at least.

it threw over the national agreement, shut
