The Independent hears that citizens
living at the farther end of Center
street in Bath claim to have seen an
apparition all in white several times
late at night recently. Some say it is
a man who has been dressing up in
white sheets as a joke, while Others say
it is woman. but nobody seems to
know who or what it is. as an investi-
crn lion has NOT hear made.

A Bath man whose duties cause him

thai during the present year he has
found the mu.ilated remains Of nearly
30 cats on the track where the trains

of these gruesome finds is that OF the

OUR STATE AT THE FtfR.

Yesterday Connecticut gave the as- sembled multitude at the St. Louis Fair something to think about and talk about. The State appropriated s1OO,OoO for the Fair. and $sO.OOO of this went into the State building which was so appropriately dedicated yesterday. It is a fine building. worthy of the fine State which is the home of ore of the Worlds Fair Commissioners. Connec- ticut's part in the Fair is entirely cred itable and commendable so far. and it will be so continued when more of her high-minded men and women go there. as they will if there are votes and money enough. The Fair will be a great sight for all the Connecticut people who visit it, and we make no doubt that they will suitably impress the people who will be there from other States and other lands. Connecticut was one Of the thirteen original States and she is just as original as, ever and just as useful. She and her products will command much attention at St. Louis.

SEEN BY GERMAN SpnorAcLEs

It is occasionally interesting, if not always profitable, to take q look at our selves as others see us. Dr. Emil Reich, an eminent German savant who has returned to his native country after a five years sojourn in the United States, has given out some of his impress sions," and as he doesn't join in the al- most universal chorus of praise of us 1t may be worth our while to consider his sayings. One thing pr. Reich finds fault with us for is cur pride and faith in our institutions. He says he has heard speakers in this country question the existence of a God and the truth of Christianity, but has never heard great future of America. At the same time, he asserts, we look with contempt on all the institutions, political and in- dustrial, of Europe. Dr. Reich does not admire the American woman. He says she has become defeminized, that she has lost the 'self-effacement' that marks the European women, that she wants to win recognition for her bright intelligence that she lords it over her father her husband and the other mere men around her, and that she is ceasing to bear children. pr. Reich likes our men as little as our women. He says they lack a we'll l-balanced emotional

life" and are ~sensation-riddep." Our German critic also falls foul of us for not having produced a great literature
 It is all right enough for this learned German to turn up scornful nose at our institutions and our men. There may be room for a difference of opin- ion about them. But when he sniffs at the women Of the United States he shows that he sniffs without knowledge and without taste Perhaps, however, he is more to be pitied than eensured. It may be that he has not had the ines tilnable boon of a real acquaintance with any of the bright and beautiful beings whom he so ignorantly maligns.

HOW THE KOREANS DRESS.

HOW THE KOREANS DRESS.
 It is only the lower classes of Korea whose garments are dirty. The better class Korean wears an attire the immaculate cleanliness of which is probably unexcelIed anywhere on earth. It is certainly the quaintest in the Orient. and as it's owner invariably swings along with a supercilious swag- ger, as if he and he alone were the owner of the street and all he surveyed besides, the incongruity of his manly gait contrasted with his exceedingly effeminate dress is a thing which must been seen to be thoroughly appreciated. He is clothed in white from head to foot. the white being sometimes varied by creana-colored silk, every garment being of spotless cleanliness. He wears the baggiest of baggy brooches frightened just above the ankles, and his padded white socks are partially enclosed in white and black cloth san dals. He wears-in summer-a silk or Srass-cloth coat of gauzy texture, which is frightened under the armpits and spreads loosely, from there down. wards, and, being stiffiy laundered, stick out in a ridiculous manner all round his legs like the starched frock Eof little child. On his head he wears Ia hat not unlike that formerly worn by Welsh flsher-woman, only the crown is not so high. The hat is black and glossy, and a close inspection of that of a yang-ban (aristocrat) showed that 1t was made of finely woven silk and bamboo in an open mesh that re- sembled crinoline. while those worn by the less prosperous are made of horse hair The truncated cone does not fit the head, but perches jauntily on top of it.

4 PofSoNhD RUNNEn.

The foes of rum will be cheered by a discovery which has been made in Bos- ton, where hotels cant sell rum after Il p. m. They have in Boston running match classically called the Marathon race. This is an event that was sug- gested by the visit of United States athletes to Greece and their competition in the sports there, and is trial that grows more popular with the athletes and with the general public year after year. In the Unicorn, the official pub-
 lieation of the Boston Athletic Associ-
 ation, the following interesting remarks
 are made in regard to training for this
 twenty -five-mile run and the effect of
 alcohol on contestants: There was
 again an interesting example of the se- rious effects of alcohol when used as a stimulant in such an event as this. A boy of eighteen years began taking raw
 brandy at South Birmingham. He had TOUT urlnkS or the brandy, and perhaps
 more, on the way to Boston. He had never taken liquor before. As a result he was pale, stupid, with a very slow.
 poor pulse, reflexes diminished, and d low temperature for some hours after the finish. He presented picture of extreme exhaustion. The physicians |reaffirm their unanimous belief that all cohol taken as a stimulant in such events as the Marathon run acts liter |ally as a poison.
 Of course the race of life isn't exactly Hike the Marathon run, but there is much evidence that all the contestants
 in that race can we'll afford to abstain from alcoholic stimulants.

4 DREAM w1rH REAL MoNEYISI1.

A few nights ago John Stonbruner of Beatty, Ohio. had dream in which was revealed to him the location of buried treasure. He did not pay any attention to the dream until he had a second one, and then he decided that he would make an investigation. Ston- bruner says he went to the spot indicat- ed in his dream, and, after digging three feet in the earth. discovered quantity of gold coins. They were dated in the eighteenth century, and alto gether amounted to $1,5O0 in American money. Among them was a s22 gold piece. The money is supposed to have been buried by the French in 1745. MT, Stonbruner will exhibit the treasure in the Ohio building at the St. Louis ex- position.

General Dragomiroff, one of the chief military authorities in Russia, is said to have been from the outset in favor of the abandonment of Port Arthur and to have declared after the first Japanese attack hat it was untenable and that efforts to hold it would prove costly and finally ineffective. Drago- rniroff would have had the fleet make for the open sea and fight there.
