up by the anxious yachtsmen who
desired o go out and watch the course.
After the last boat had finished the
crowd gathered at the clubhouse of ex-
Commodore Morgan, where luncheon
was served. Later in the evening the
prizes were awarded to the winning

people of Kenosha. Besides these
prizes minor prizes were offered fol-
the second and third boats in the s1ooI
class by the Regatta committee of the

truth about so-called spirit phenomena

keys, and six Of US went there one
evening to watch the ghosts. We sta
toned ourselves in a dlsmantled back
room, and it was hardly dark before
strange things began to happen We
heard all manner of unaccountable
noises-stealthy footsteps on the stairs,
the rustic of dresses the creaking of
doors, sudden loud crashes in distant
apartments, and pattering as of chill
dIen running. Rats were suggested,
but it seemed absolutely impossible for
rats to make such sounds. Nevertheless
We set big cage trap next night, caught
nine monsters before day, and after
that the house was as silent as tomb
The spirits and rats ceased to walk sim

The next house we tried was said to be
haunted by the ghost of "a one-legged
gunsmith, who. according to tradition,
had been murdered there by a negro.
We heard him stumping around from
room to room as plainly as I hear my
own voice, and were sure we had the
real thing until somebody insisted on
the rat-trap test. We caught eleven,
and that was the end of4he one-legged
gunsmith ~
''It was a good while afterward that
we discovered that the noise was made
by bits, of dislodged plaster tumbling
down the walls. Our third and last
experience was in. the basement of a very
old mansion near Jackson square. We
were told that we would hear groans and
the sound of something walking to and
fro, and the information proved correct.
The manifestation was so. realistic that
We hated to set the trap We did 50,
however, and 1t took uss three whole

HAUNTED HOUSES.

HAUNTED HOUSES
Belief in the supernatural, manifested
in haunted houses, where forms are seen
and noises are heard is quite common,
even in the United States. Several years
ago the inmates Of a dwelling house in
Philadelphia discovered upon the white
washed wall of one of the rooms the
likeness of human face, which faded
and returned again. The neighbors came
in to view the wonder. Other faces ap-
peared and vanished. Crowds thronged
the house and street, and accounts of the
mystery were printed in the daily papers.
It was to no purpose that scientific
men insisted that the figures were caused
by molGy growths which came and went
with the dampnesS. and that the like
ness to the human face was imaginary.
The house was pronounced by the public
to be haunted, and the owner was I'M
able to find tenant for it for years
About the same time another mystery
came to light in one of the mountain
counties Of Pennsylvania, and command
ed public attention. 1t was a pane OF
glass in the window of a farm house, in
which appeared the face of a woman
looking out
She could be seen only by a person
standing outside at a certain angle. At
first it was declared to be the ghost OF
a former owner. but when the public
took hold of the matter it was decided
that each spectator saw different
ghost that of the dead friend for whom
he cared most. Many visitors made
pilgrim ages to inspect this defective pane
of glass.
Nor is it only the ignorant who are
moved by these cheap mysteries. One
of the most stately mansions in Berke-
ley square, in London, stood vacant for
a long time because 1t was said to be
haunted by ghosts. who appeared one
at a time, night after night, i'll an attic
window, with a single candle burning
dinlly beside them.
1t was explained that the house had
heen left in the care of crazy butler,
who chose thus to exhibit the family
portraits one after another, to the pub
lie; but in spite of this explanation the
mansion could find no tenant, even
among the educated class who occupied
the houses of it's grade.
