STRANGE GRAVEYARD LIGHTS.
WtIl-O'-the-Wisp Badly Frightens
Watchers i'm a~Cemeterv


Watchers i'm a~Cemetery
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
This community is wrought up to a
high pitch of excitement by strange
lights which fit nightly between the
old and new Episcopal cemeteries. Sup
erstitious persons believe them to be
warnings of some impending calamity.
There are residents who declare that
similar lights were seen just prior to
the flood of 1SS9~and the smallpox epi-
demic of 1894.
On Wednesday night Mrs Shoemak-
err an aged resident, was returning
TO her home after spending the even
ing with a neighbor, when, nearing
vault in the old cemetery she was
startled at seeing a brilliant red light
leave the vault, move slowly across the
street directly in front of her and lose
itself in the new cemetery. Badly
frightened, she made rapid steps for
home, but had taken only few steps
when she again saw the same light
some distance away on a hill This
time it was waved up and down in such
manner as trainmen give signals,
Then it disappeared. Before she was
half way home Mrs. Shoemaker fell
and rolled into the gutter. When re-
gaining her feet and senses she saw
the same light apparently hanging in
the middle of the street only a few feet
from her. Almost frantic she ran,
screaming, to the house of a neigh
Dor, where she recounted her expert
ence. Thinking she was the victim of
mischievous boys pranks, her friends
paid little attention to the matter.
Thursday morning the story of the
lights flew like wildfire. and before
noon several hundred persons had Wis
tied the scene. That night three or
four prominent residents stationed
themselves near the cemeteries to
watch for the lights, but were so badly
frightened by repetition of the scenes
of the previous night that they for
got what they had assembled for The
following night and last night the same
antics We're witnessed by hundreds of
persons, who had gathered from all
parts of the town, but before any at
tempt could be made at capture the
lights would vanish, and their source
remains a mystery.
Although no grasses or phosphoric
minerals are known to exist in this
locality, eX-Sheriff William Ryan and
other prominent citizens say they have
seen these lights at various times, and
that all former efforts to gain a clue
to their origin had proved futile.

B0WLERS CROWD ALLEYS.
HusSars' Club to Have Final Club
Match Last of Month.

Match Last of Month.
Though the bowling season can hard
ly be said to have begun yet, and the
teams of the Tri-Club League have not
been selected, yet there is a great deal
of playing being done and all of the
alleys in the city, as we'll as those of
the Yacht Club, are literally patron
lied every night.
At the Hussars' Club the sport has
been fostered all summer by a series
of hot-weather contests. to which all
club members were eligible, and for
which prizes were offered in each of
several classes determined by qualify
ing scores.
Another of these contests is to be
bowled the latter part of this month
and already twenty-five or more play
ers have qualified for it, This match
will be divided into four classes: the
expert, consisting of those who make
a qualifying score of 200 or more;
first class, those making IT'S or over
but less than 200; second those who
qualify with $50, but less than u.s. and
the third, in which will be ranked all
who make between 125 and $50.
Already the number that have quail
fed is so great that it has been de-
termined to bowl off the finals on diff
ferent nights, such a plan being neces-
sary in order to allow each of the
entries a chance.

THE CURIOUS MES T BUILDING FISH.

Sometimes, If one gets a particularly
large and thick cluster of it, strange
living things are found. They are
creatures that rarely if ever are to be
caught anywhere else except in the
weed, for they dwell there in the Sar-
gasso sea only. Among them are very
tiny but wonderfully gorgeous crabs.
One of the crabs has a. shell
that is as shining and rich as
the skies at sunset. Another still more
curious creature that dwells in the
weed Is the Mouse Fish, also known
as the Marbled Angler.
This little fish is so strangely shaped
that, when he lies among the weed il
