BURNING FOR NINE MONTHS.

A most extraordinary story of a der elict which has been burning and float ing about on the eastern seas has re- gently come to light. The Fannie Kerr was a four masted bark of 2426 tons, built of steel. She left Newcastle in April. 1902. with a cargo of coal for San Francisco. After she had rounded the Horn in safety her cargo took fire somewhere in the southern Pacific, and after trying for more than a month to extinguish the flames the ship became so hot that the captain and crew were forced to abandon her and take to the boats. This was on June 6. They landed at Kaiuai, an island of the Ha- waiian group and made their way to Honolulu where the captain made his report and the crew was discharged. On March 10, 1905, the captain of the steamer Heathdede, bound from Yoko- hama to Formosa. sighted a vessel adrift from which smoke seemed to arise. Steaming forward he found that she was the long missing Fannie Kerr, which had been gradually drifting west ward several thousand miles for nearly nine months. and with her cargo still on fire.

AN uNPREcEDENrEp CASE
Ex-Chief Judge Parker to Argue Case
 Before Former Associates

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 5.-The unpreee- dented spectacle of a former chief judge of the court of appeals arguing case before the court from which he resigned to become a candidate for the presidency of the United States will be presented here on December 6, when former Judge Alton B. Parker is ex- pected to argue the first case in which he has made his appearance as coun- sef in many years.
 There is nothing particularly notable about the case itself, which is that of Elizabeth Reich, plaintiff appellant, against Edith Labau Dyer and Lillian Labau Aymar, as executrices of the last will and testament of Alice ". Labau, deceased. Mrs. Labau was an aunt of William K. Vanderbilt, and the litigation grew out of transaction concerning real estate known as the Brentwood farm, adjoining the estate of MT. Vanderbilt in the town of Islip.
 Judge Parker. it is stated, will argue it before the court of appeals at the request of Mrs. Reich's husband, whom he has known for years. MT. Reich was frequent caller at EsoDus early in the campaign, and there was talk at one time of his opening a hotel there for the accommodation of visit ors to the presidential candidate.

A CASE FOR THE PsYcHIcAL
 SOCIETY

The bones which may be said to have invented spiritualism have been discovered. Most people have heard about the Fox sisters, who, in a house at Hydeville, near Rochester, in this state, developed, in the year 1S4S, a sys- tenn of pretended communication with disembodied spirits by asking certain questions, and receiving one knock for yes" and two for mo" These young girls, Margaret and Kate Fox, and their father, John D. Fox, pretended that a pediar had been murdered in the house of William Hyde, prior to Hyde's oe- cupancy. and his body buried under the cellar wall. His ghost was restless by reason of the untoward manner of his taking, and resorted to rapping on the walls and tables in order to attract the attention of human beings of the sen-
 sitive order The Fox girls were sen sitives, and were able to make use of his rappings for purposes of communi- cation. Thousands became interested in the performance. From this begin

vardaman RepudIated In Mississippi

The subjoined letter and the quota tions therein referred to are self-ex- planatory. They confirm the belief which The Republican has always held, thar such would-be fire-eaters as Gov ernor Vardaman of Mississippi do not represent southern sentiment.
 Tempe, Ariz., Dec. 3, 1904. ITO the Editor of The Republican:
 "Sir-Two or three days ago your pa per contained a severe editorial stric- ture on Governor James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, for his discourteous re- ply to a telegram from President Fran cis of the worlds fair, conveying to him a complimentary reference to the Mississippi building made by President Roosevelt during his (the presidents recent visit to the fair.

Fir. Roosevelt to Visit the South

According to the Washington dis patches, MT. Roosevelt has decided to make a trip through the south, next spring It is to be hoped that he will not change his mind. If he affords the southern people an opportunity, they will give him such a welcome as will convince him that both he and his ex- alted office are held in the highest esteem in that section. The mere an- nouncement that he might make the Journey has been sufficient to bring forth a deluge of cordial invitations from the principal cities of the south. and the more definite news of his in tentions will now load his desk with urgent requests from every city and town in all the southern states.
 It seems that the only point decided on so far is San Antonio. MT. Roose- welt will attend a reunion of the Rough Riders in the city in April or May, and his itinerary will be arranged with the reunion in view.
 The proposed trip will be flpe thing for both the south and the president. Many of the southern people misun- derstand MT. Roosevelt. General Fitz- hugh Lee and Senator Cockrell highly approve of the projected journey. "I am one of those who are glad that MT. Roosevelt will see the southern people and that the southern people will see him; a closer acquaintance will be of service to both him and to the country" says the general 'I be- lieve as the south gets better acquaint- ed with him it will love him." says Senator Cockren

ming modern spiritualism may be said to have spread over the whole earth.
 And now for the sequel. The founda- tions Of the "old spook house. stand in soil so springy that it was said to be impossible to find whether anybody's s bones were really buried under the cell lar wall. But the constant flow of water has at last undermined the wall. It has fallen in; and there, indeed, be- heath it, the present owner of the house William H. Hyde, has discovered hu- man bones.
 This will doubtless be accepted by great many people as evidence that the Fox sisters knew what they were talking about when they said that some one had been secretly buried under the wall Ye- the skeptical may we'll re- ply that human bones are not particu- larly hard to get, and that the early exploiters of spiritualism may well enough have planted them under the wall. Whether or not they did so can not now be proved, humanly speaking by the Fox girls themselves, for they have both taken their departure for the spirit world-where presumably they are now knocking around very much as they please.
 The bones found under. the "oId spook house" will at least be interesting, and we suggest that the Psychical Society

It Hid a Luxuriant Suit of Straight
 and Very Dark Hair.

The Father of his Country concealed "a, luxuriant suit of hair beneath his queue wig. Many now wish the old fashion were in vogue, to conceal thin ned hair or baldness. Yet no one need have thin hair nor be bald, if he cure the dandruff that causes both. Dan- druff can not be cured by securing the scalp. because it is a germ disease, and the germ has to be killed. Newbro's s Herpicide kills the dandruff germ-no other hair preparation will. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect. There's no cure for dandruff but to kill the germ. Sold by leading druggists.
