Block Island on the Atlantic Coast of
the United States. was alleged to have
its ghostly ship. which, rising in three
pyramidal flames into the representation
of ship, was supposed to be per-
petual reminder of the wickedness of its
former inhabitants, who in the Colonial
days, crueIly lured an immigrant ship
on to the rocks, with great losslof life,
ard then looted and burned it. Another
phantom ship, so the story goes. appears
occasionally off Cape d'Espoir, in the
Bay of Gaspe. in the Gulf of St. Law
renee. She is crowded with soldiers,
conspicuous among. whom is an officer
pointing shoreward with one hand and
supporting a woman with the other.
Suddenly the lights go out, there is a
shrill cry and the ship sinks. This is
supposed TO be the ghost of British
transport which was lost at the time of
the Anglo-French wars in Canada

He leaves a wife and three grown up

husband and appreciative father. Mr..
Fletcher lived to raise a family of six
children, three of which preceded him
to the grave. The names of those hat
have gone on before are Courtney,
Cora and Temp; the names of those
living, Mrs. George Nichols, Richard
n Mrs. Lee Orr.
How sad to say goodbye to the
friends we love, and we feel hat Mrs.
Fletcher surely has passed through
deep waters of sorrow in the loss of
her husband and three-grown up chill
dren in the lapse of a few years. But
we are glad that in h hour of her
great grief she can look beyond this
veil of tears, for her greatest %consola-
ton now is to live so that she can
meet her husband and children V
on the other shore, where there will
be no more parting. The funeral SER

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Among six sui
sides or attempted suicides reported
to the police yesterday, the methods.
adopted by Frank Foley, were the
most elaborate n unusual.
Foley obtained employment in the
stockyards, then o through the
strike district telling all whom he saw
that he was a strike breaker. His
hope that he would be attacked by riot
ers and killed, was not realized, and
in the afternoon he quit his job, n
in a pawn shop shot himself in the
left side with a revolver which he pre-
tended to be about to purchase.
Even then his desire to die was
thwarted. for he inflicted only a flesh
wound. Foley said hat his determina-
ton to die resulted from a quarrel with
his wife.
