wOMAN'S HAND IMPRINT.
Declare 1t Is a Warning from the
Spirit World.

Boston GLOBE.
The humble home of Thomas Cross in the
tenement section of the South End was
visited to-day by hundreds of people to see
what many hold to be a striking Spiritual
istic manifestation.
On a pane of glass in a kitchen window
can be plain seen what appears to be the
imprint of a woman's hand, the palm. the
fingers and thumb, and even the lines OF
the palm being distinctly visible. All eff
forts to remove the imprint have failed.
Mr.. Cross is a Spiritualist. He is en-
ployed in one OF the cotton mills. but on
Sundays and when other occasions permit
his doctrines.
Mrs. Gross died two months ago. She too
was an ardent S~piritualist, but the chill
dren. of whom there are six, three boys and
three girls, know little of the doctrine. The
Oldest, n girl of ten years named Eliza. is
skeptical of the faith of her parents. and
S~piritualists interpret the appearance of the
hand on the windowglass as a sign to the
doubling daughter from the mother.
The hand was discovered by the girl as
she was washing the window, and repeated
water and soaps, acids and muscular effort
have so far served only to make the hand
stand out more plainly.
The fingers are spread wide apart, and
the knuckles are large as though the hand
had been used to hard work. The more
enthusiastic among the believers in Spirit
ualiSm who have witnessed the phenomena
do not hesitate to say that they detect the
mark on the third finger showing where
the wedding ring was long worn.
The merely curious who have visited the
place have bent their energies TO hiding an
explanation of the mystery. and have even
its place TO permit a more thorough exami-
nation. One after another have given up
the puzzle.
Mr.. Cross does not attach great import
ance to the matter, as he says he is accus-
toned to receiving still mere wonderful
communications from the departed

TILE IND1ANApoI1s JoURNALs sArURDAg, NOVEMBER IA. 19os.

Wilmington, N. c., that a new swiiSdling
scheme is being worked upon the uflsus-
pecting people by certain alleged ra9road
ticket brokers.
The scheme is explained in a commiinica-
tion received by the head passenger .raftic
officials of the Coast line from Mr.. q. T..
chairman of the Westernt Pas
Association. 1t is as follows.
THE broker opens a shop in a city Ehere
there are a good many excursionists cstming
in; he usually has some correspondent in
Mexico, or some bank that handles Nc xcan
money, and through this method Obtains
three or four hundred dollars worth of
Mexican money, which he secures for 80
cents on a dollar, or even a shade LEST, and
when the farmer, or sucker as he Is
called, comes into the Office to buy n ticket
he gives him this money in change
"As an illustration, say a person :came
into Chicago from Joliet on a rounl-trip
excursion ticket and wanted to go to ;kan-
kakee on a visit. He dropped in on 9le of
those brokers who made a rate of half or
even less than the regular fare, which
would probably be about 81. Il the pi,ssen-
ger handed him a so bill he would giyh him
in change, placing the American monky on
top; the purchaser would in all probability
see that he had the correct changd but
would not notice the Mexican money! as it
looks like ours, and as the Mexican money
is worth half of ours the broker would make
a profit of 81 on the money itself.
This scheme was worked in ChicasS and
is now being worked in Kansas City IL two
brokers, and it is said that over s., 900 worth
of Mexican money has been fioated III that
city"

MARTYRS TO THEIR DUTY
GOVERNOR OF WYOMING PR Asses
OFFICERS SLAIN BY INDIAYS.
Says Latter Fired First on Miller and
Party, Who Had Demanded sur
render of the Red Men.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. BIN als inter-
view tonight Governor Chatterton: made
public the result of his investigations dur
ing his recent trip to central Wyoreing in
regard to the responsibility for the Sioux
outbreak.
The Governor ascertained that shortly
before the light it was reported to Sheriff
Miller, at New Castle, that a band o, Sioux
Indians was not only Illegally hunting game
along the border of Weston and Converse
counties, but was also slaughtering the cat
tie of the ranchmen. These reports were
so authentic that the sheriff ordered a
posse of six men and started in seSrch of
the Indians. meeting them on the Dry fork
of the Cheyenne river. When the ~oficers
first reached the Indian camp the, bucks
were out hunting. Upon their return the
sheriff demanded their surrender. Some of
the Indians were willing to come IN, but
others were not, the latter saying that
they were under Charles Smith, OF Eagle
Feather, his Sioux name. smith 0ecame
defiant when the sheriff told him that the
Indians were violating the law, and replied
that Miller had not men enough 10 take
them. He then ordered his party To break
camp. As they started the sheriff and his
posse went with them for some distance,
urging them TO surrender and submit. to the
law. Smith refused, and the sheriff: retired
and added five ranchmen to his party.

Indians to halt and surrender. This was re-
peated three times when the Sioux opened
fire. the officers replying Immediately. The
Indians fed as soon as they saw thst some
of their party were shot.
The Governor states that there can be no
question as TO where the responsibility lies.
The Indians were violating the lava of the
State of Wyoming, knowingly ami will
fully, and the murdered officers were mar
tyrs to their duty. The Governor. declared
that he would insist on a thorough trial. if

mus. 1t is argued that this plan is more
polite than the original proposition TO
give the United States a fee simple title TO

toward confirming the suspicious OF some

SUIT OVER FARM TENURE.
Carroll County Jury Seemingly Finds
for Both Sides.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DELPHI, Ind, Nov. ia jury of the
court returned a peculiar verdict yesterday
in the case of Charles Arion against Miss
Margaret knettle, suit on contract. Arion
claimed he had rented q farm of Miss Knet-
tie with all the rights of the premises, and
that she afterwards tried to deprive him of
his rights in the premises by locking the
barn 10 keep him out, taking the handle off
the pump TO prevent him getting water,
turning cattle in his oats field and other
acts OF like character. The case occupied
the court for four days. The jury returned
a verdict for the defendant after being out
several hours, but made several concessions
to the plaintiff. TIL suit was for 1000
damages.
The plaintiffs attorneys to-day argued a
motion for a new trial, which probably will
be granted or the verdict set aside, as Miss
knettle conceded to all the claims of the
plaintiff but averred that the contract had
been changed, which should nave given her
all the rights of the farm at any and all
times.

There Is Much Discomfort.
The Century

That there is much discomfort with work
among the so-called middle classes in Amer
lea Is due in large part TO the pampering OF
children, to the supplying of their natural
and artificial wants and to the sentimental
idea that their day OF toll will come soon
enough" In general, work Is not a curse.
One can hardly begin too early To impress
upon children lessons OF self-help by tasks
appropriate to their age and forces and To
beget IN them scop of idleness and OF de-
pendence on others. To do this Is TO make
them happy through the self-respect that
comes with the realization OF power, and
thus 10 approximate Tennys0n's goal of

Hundreds of pension bills. private and OF
a general character, have been already pre-
sented TO both houses of Congress. AL
though spasmodic attempts have been made
TO shut off private pension legislation. 1t is
evident that sucn bills will be passed for
years To come unless. a service pension law
is enacted. Two pension bills introduced In
the House during the past week have at
tracted attention. One of them proposed a
service pension law, and the other a limited
service pension. The large number of bills
on the subject of service pension and. the
Endorsement of the policy by Grand Army
posts indicates that there is strong senti-
ment for such a law. One of the bills in
question provides that all soldiers who have
reached the age of sixty-three years shall
be paid not less than $2 a month. The
other. offered by Representative Hemen-
way, of the First Indiana district provides
that all honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors who served at least ninety days
in the military or naval service shall be
entitled to receive a pension of s2 a month,
and that the army record of such soldier
shall be the only voucher necessary TO
entitle him TO such pension. The bill also
grants a pension of S12 a month to widows
whose incomes do not exceed 81 a month.
This bill was introduced at the last ses-
sion by Representative Hemenway at the
request of old soldiers in Indiana, and
the First district member has received
hundreds of letters OF Endorsement.
