POET IN HAUNTEDHOUSE

London, July 25.-Stephen Phillips,
the Well known poet, dramatist, and
author of "Palao and Francesca"
and "Herod," has been having an ex-
perience which he thinks the Psychi-
cal Research society should set about
investigating. Phillips recently leas-
ed detached house in Egham, slee-
Ply npriver town near Windsor.
81 went there for peace and quiet'
he said, "and yet, although many peo-
pie knew my purpose, nobody had the
pluck to tell me that the place had
the reputation of being haunted. We
found it out pretty quickly ourselves,
my household and I, and no sooner
were we installed in the place than
the uncanniest noises conceivable be-
Set us. There were knockings and
rappings, footballs, soft, loud, and
hasty, stealthy hurryings and scurry-
lngs, sounds as of human creature
being chased and caught, and then
strangled or chOked The doors bang
ed, and were opened and closed unac-
countably, as if by unseen hands.
81 would be sitting quietly in. my
study writing when the door would
open soundlessly. 1t was susceptible
Of explanation, however, and I attri-
buted it to draft. l would say to
myself as I held. my breath and
watched, but the drafts don It turn
door handles, and, on my life, the han
die would turn as the door opened and
there was no band visible.
"This happened repeatedly. All the
household heard sounds and expert
enced some sensations. My little
daughter reported having seen lit
tie old man creeping about the house
but there was no such person to be
found. In the light of the story | af-
forwards heard, this is important.
Cal the details of the story are un.
printable, but it is common property
in Egham, and the members of the
Psychical Record society, if they be-
lieve in ghosts, doubtless will find in
cidents Of the story dovetail sugges
lively into our experiences. Ac
cording to common report and loca
tradition an old farmer strangled hi
child fifty years ago in the vicinity O.
our house at Egham. This tradition
| learned after, not before, our expe
riences. If there really is aghost i
explains lot.
cit is needless. to say we threw VI
, our lease on the residence and got on
of it like a shot. The servants left S,
, precipitately that they did not ever
, take their boxes, so you may imagin
how scared they We're. The house ha
not had another tenant since, and
= learned that before my advent it rare
ly, if ever, was occupied. AS man o

MORE BUSINESS
Promised by Good Crops Railroad
Men Talk.

New York, July 25.-The New York
Commercial publishes page of opin-
ions of railroad men. on crop prospects
and general trade conditions and this
is what came out of Cincinnati:
Vice President Murphy, of the Gin
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa
cifc Railway Queen and Crescent),
who is just back from a trip through
the territory traversed by that system,
speaks very cheerfully Of the business
outlook.
"There will be $4,000 bales of cot
ton along the Alabama Great South
ern branch of our system alone" said
he. "The cotton mills have been run
ming to their full capacity and have a
demand for their output. The corn
crop is very fine one and the peach
crop better than it has been for years.
The lumber industry, however, is at
present dull, owing to the low prices.
"The crop Of alfalfa is large, and
three crops of this grass can be har-
vested year. One man had 600 tons
of this hay, for which he received $12
a ton delivered at the railroad. The
cultivation and shipment Of vegeta-
bles has been the largest ever known
in that section.
"Owing to the low price of iron
and to strikes there is something Of "a
lull in the iron industry. This promis-
es to be only temporary, as the Ala
bama pig iron producers will be able
to get supply Of Virginia coke at
the same price delivered at the fur
naces as it would cost to produce the
coke. The rail mill at Ensley is run
ming full time and has orders that
will keep it going till spring. The out
look is certainly very encouraging.
John D. Potts, Assistant General
Passenger agent of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad said: "The recent
pronounced advance in securities, I
take it, is largely a result Of the fiat
tering crop reports. The reports that
I hear almost invariably are that the
wheat crop is almost unprecedentedly
large, and that the corn is extremely
promising. Everything that I hear is
along this same trend of continued
prosperity
c. B. Wall, real estate agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, said
~ hear nothing but good reports as
rs l. T.,
fact, l witnessed a practical demon
stration of crop conditions just the
other day. At our home place near
MaysvillG KY, viewed the thrashine
of the wheat crop, and it was remark.
ably large, 25 to 80 bushels to the
acre, which is a yield away above the
average for Kentucky.'
N. R. johnson, general cent of the
Big Four railroad, said: 81 have
heard some reports that crops were
very bad. I have had reports of very
excellent business and of just the re
verse, and all within the same terri
tory and about the same period o.
, time. However, the outlook seems t.
be generally considered as on thu
whole, fairly satisfactory
George Metzger, division freigh
agent of the Big Four railroad
! Passenger business is good, blu
freight traffic is not so good. All tn
reports as to crops are satisfactory
Freight business is certain to b.
much better in August, is my belief.

nephew of the fearsome Empress Dow
ager of China, has arrived here on his
way home from his visit to the United
States, with two deep-rooted admira-
tions, the one of President Roosevelt,
the other of the flower clock at the
St. Louis exposition. Not that the
prince groups them together. He is far
too diplomatic to do anything of the
sort. And should he group them at
all, there is a delightful uncertainty
as to which would come first, though
it might be safer to take chances on
the clock.
The prince is eminently practical.
In a detailed description of this Won
der of Horticulture, the hands Of which
and the figures on the dial are all
iardinieres and it's exactness as a
timekeeper, he was all enthusiastiasm.
"It is just the thing for asummer

AS to the President, the prince, with
man gestures and much waving of
Chinese embroidery, described him as
"a noble spreading tree, growing in
height and dignity.' He adds that he
