Ghosts With No Originality.

From the London Truth.
When you have read one Of these stories
you have read them all. Although the be-
havior of ghosts may appear eccentric when
judged by the standard of conduct prevail
ing among the living, their habits are, in
fact, most regular, they seem to possess
little character or originality, and probably
their ideas are very limited. Some of them
walk along the passage UP the stairs:
others knock on the walls or furniture. ring
bells, slam doors or break crockery; now
and then you come across one who shrieks;
and there seem to be a few stray specimens
who appear land disappear). But their fac
ultics do not go beyond this. A very re-
markable proof of their limita tons. or their
slavish adherence to tradition, Is that,
though have before me at the present mo-
ment dozen authenticated ghosts who
have been heard walking upstairs, there
seems to be no case on record in which
ghost has been heard walking down. Why
anybody should think it worth while to
chronicle the movements of sueh uninterest-
ing creatures cannot understand. An ae-
count of the days doings CT flock ef sheep
would be very much more exciting

WoMEN's HATS IN THEATERs.
The Adornments Are Removed, but
Put on Again Too Quickly.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
When one woman pronounces sentence on
another for something peculiar to the sex
there is likely to be much merit in the
complaint Hence the wall of one of the
dear things apent a detestable practice
among theater goers is worthy Of the care
full consideration Of every man. woman
and child who goes to the theaters and
should present itself forcibly to the man
ayers of show houses. Every one heartily
Endorses the rule as to removing hats in
the theater.' said this woman. 1T has be-
come custom. 1 may say. for women to
remove their hats now, whereas before it
was the rule that they kept them on. This
much has been accomplished by the per-
sistent kickers.
But there. is another thing which is
even worse than keeping the hats on, and
/ am surprised that theatrical managers
have not opened their eyes to 1t. Women
mostly are the Offenders, but they are not
entirely alone. A few days ago l went TO
witness production Of the 'Manxman.' AS
you know, the denouement is always the
one thing looked forward to in drama
a story. We want to see how the tale
unfolds and ends. I have observed that
about the middle Of the last act women be-
gin to put on their wraps and hats, chat
tering to each other the meanwhile, or to
their companions. I know that a woman
will talk under any and all circumsta noes,
despite any effort that might be made by
theatrical managers.
But they could well sit quietly
through the last act of a show as through
the second act, and adjust their attire while
the orchestra plays when the curtain falls.
Only little forethought is needed to bring
about this result. My appreciation Of the
'Manxman' was destroyed by woman
just in front Of me starting to put on her
hat and wraps about the middle of the
last act l noticed that any number of wo-
men were doing the same thing. They seem
to believe it Is necessary for them to be
ready to hurry out of the theater as soon
as the curtain drops This practice is even
worse than men leaving between the acts.
I suppose that David Harum was right
when he said:
The's as much human nature in some
folks as the is in others, il not more"

There is part Of the American continent

The chances are that 1t will remain for

from which will come the birds to replenish
annually the decimated focks that winter

The Real Khartoum.


From the London Truth.
There have been some marvellous stories
of the transformation of Khartoum under
British rule. One writer saw a vision OF
"a stately city, with beautiful lawns and
gardens, wide streets, churches, a college
and magnificent government Offices
handsome palace built of red brick, faced
with stone;' a railway running into the
CITY," and fast steamers plying on the
Nile" All this where there had been five
years earlier "a reeking huddle Of mud
huts."
An unfortunate exile in the Soudan, who
has been looking for this stately city, says
Khartoum is still more than a big viii
lage; the palace and government offices are
nothing worth talking about; the churches
are non-existent; the Gordon College, still
quite incomplete, might pass for a red
brick barn; there are no roads, except just
around the palace; the railway Is a narrow
gauge track, on which a miniature engine
draws the material for the new government
buildings; the traveller can only enter the
stately city on his own legs or on the back
of native donkey; and the fast steamers
plying on the Nile would not compete with
the feet of the late Thames Steamboat
Company. Khartoum, therefore, hardly
seems to rival Paris, or even London, at
present-whatever 1t may do In time.

Six hours work day, at the rate of four

The Umbrella Nuisance.

Everybody has seen him, for he is a ia

holds his folded umbrella by the handle so
that it Is inclined backward at an angle of
forty-five degrees. and swings it as he
walks This position Of the weapon brings
the ferule exactly on a line with the shins
of the person behind the wielder. and If
there be no intimate and painful contact
between them it may be attributed to the
nimble lodging of the owner of the Shins
than to the fault Of the owner Of the UNI

KIRIN.
A Beautiful City on the Banks Of the
Sungari.
Correspondence London Times.


Correspondence London Times
Kirin itself is a beautiful city. pictur-
equely situated on the banks of the Sun
gari. The river is navigable during SIX
months Of the year to steamers of low
draught. There is weekly steamer to the
railway, and so quickly are distances being
shortened in Manchuria that recently the
chief engineer, NJ. Jugovitch, covered the
journey from Kirin to Hardin by steamer
and train in twenty-one hours. 1t is five
years since I was last in Kirin. UndoIbt-
eddy the city Is larger, richer and more
prosperous than it was then. Every ere
admits that. It Is now great city, throb-
bling with activity. Suffering nothing dur
ing the Boxer trouble, 1t has since been
enriched by the presence Of foreign army
which spends money with almost ostenta-
tious freedom. Harvests have been good,
prices high and prosperity universal. Ruble
notes circulate in Manchuria literally by
millions. They are the most favored cur
rency. They are easily carried and easiy
concealed, and are familiar from one end of
Manchuria to the other. 1t Is virtually
gold currency that has been given to the
Chinese in Manchuria. The city being n

to be seen everywhere. The troops are I'M

NEW YORK's NEW GHETTO.
Exodus Of the Well-to-Do Jews From
the Tenement District.

From the New York Evening Post.
The tremendous pressure which has made
the East Side the most densely populated
district on the globe compels a steady ex-
odus from Its numerous tenements to other
parts of the city. The prosperous go up
town to more expensive homes; the less
favored migrate to neighborhoods where
rents are lower than around East Broad
way. Small communities of Russian Jews
are to be found in 'Helrs Kitchen" In York.
vile. Harlem. and the Bronx. Other colo-
mics have come into being in Brooklyn near
Catherine and Hamilton ferries, and in that
part of Williamsburg known Dutchtown.
BY far the largest is to be found in Browns
vile, district between east New York and
Canarsie some six miles from the city hall
of Manhattan. Not so long ago the terri
tory was farm, meadow and marsh A fer
tile soil rewarded those who titled 1t and
added to the agricultural repute of New
Lots and Flatlands, the two towns where it
lay. When real estate began to boom, this
district did not share In the movement. Real
estate spectators went out and viewed the
broad fiat fields, muttered malaria" "fe-
Yer and ague," drainage" and went away.
Yet no better site could have been desired,
the dead level made unnecessary the cutting
down and filling in which has marked near
ly every new field opened by the builder.
The soil, too, favored the esta blishment OF
a city. 1t was a rich loan devoid of boul-
UeTS resting on SaNO ana SraNal strata. Inc
first settlers were poor people attracted by
the cheapness of the land and the lowness
of rents. They put up shanties and novels
and attracted others like themselves. Then
came the cheap saloon and cash grocery.
Ere long it was a settlement like those in
older days known as Goa tville in Harlem or
Darby's Patch and Jackson's Hollow in
Brooklyn.
The early population was a curious mix
ture. The chief men were the farmers, who
were of Knickerbocker stock, Dutch and
English. The new corners were Irish, Ger
man, Italian and Russian Jew. Each stock
increased from month to month. the ar
rivals being New Workers rather than i'm
migrants direct from Europe
The Jews increased much more rapidly
than the rest. AS early as 1895 they were
in majority, and today they constitute
probably three-fourths Of the population.
They have crowded out most of the Ger
mans and many of the IRISH but are rum
ming an even race with the Italians. Near
ly all were desperately poor when they
came to Brownsville, but industry frugal
ity and thrift have begun to bear fruit on a
large scale. Most of the novels have been
replaced by neat homes of one, two and
three stories. Improved tenements and at
tratcive flats are to be found on the leading
streets, and handsome, well-lighted stores
are already in evidence. All the children
are neatly dressed. and the ragged and
barefooted urchins have disappeared.
