Rumors of the ghostly visitation soon
got about. Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons have
sought to check their winged fight. but
In vain; and during the whole of this
week weird stories have increased and
multiplied with a facility which does
credit 70 the vivid imagination of Mr..
Parsons neighbors
IL Is asserted. for instance. that Mr..
Parsons went 10 Newport to buy some
peer. took il home, and placed it on
me kitchen table. He turned away for a
moment, and when he looked again the
piece OF beef had compressed Itself into
a pint Jug.
Another story is to the effect that Mrs.
PARSONS cooked four pieces of meat for
Two laborers and pat two pieces on both
plates. She left for an instant TO call
the men 10 their dinners, and when she
got back each plate bore upon its shin
ing surface only one solitary piece OF
meat After a search the missing NOR
sells were found locked in a cupboard.

PLANS TO PROHIBIT
ILLEGAL STAMP SALES
Will Include Rural Territory About
Large Cities Into Postal Districts
Under Central Office.

The booming OF business by post
masters near large cities is gradually
leading to a Postofice order making
enormous circles about these large CEN
tiers OF population and inclosing them
I'm one postal district, the center OF
which viii be the metropolitan post
Office.
From all over the country the de-
partment has found postmasters selling
stamps in all sorts of ways that are not
legal. Business men doing business in the
large cities. but living outside OF them,
have been importuned TO buy their
stamps in their suburb and use them
in their city Offices Some postmasters
have sought out large users OF stamps
and solicited their business. Others
have encouraged the use OF stamps as
money. and all OF this has increased
month after month the salaries OF post
masters. the allowances FOR clerk hire,
and the cost OF installing the free de-
livery system in many cases.

BROKERS' CUSTOMERS CONDOLE.
McCrea Safe Is Locke ed and Partners Have
been Away Several Days.


In what was the brokerage shop Of John
McCrea 4 Co., ~ Broadway, there gathered
Yesterday little handful OF men and women
who condoled one with another over the
abrupt clouding over of their bright finan-
cial prospects, owing to the cessation OF
business by the firm. The partners in the
firm, John McCrea and one Underhill, left
the offices some days ago, after locking up
the safe.
One of the clerks said yesterday that the
concern had been doing business for more
than a year, having branch offices In phiia-
delphia, Elizabeth. Newark and White
Plains, with some forty customers at this
Office whose accounts might average from
$50 to $780, There was a ladies depart.
ment," with its own blackboard and girl
to attend to it, in the firms offices.
One of the customers said that an attempt
had been made to get the customers to &C.
cept notes for the amount due them, these
notes to be used as margin for trading. with
the privilege of Withdrawing IN the first
month cash to the amount Of half Of any OF
