decorate and beautify the house which
was to be her home during the rest Of
her earthly pilgrimage. She loved to
create delicacies for her husband and
her children, and disguise it as we may,
much of the affection she received was
due entirely to her skill as a home
maker. When her children grew up
around her this lind and sympathetic
mother and the pantry We're the chief
attractions in their world. AS they
grew older the ties only grew the
of their own the old homestead, with it's
abundance of good things, still had at
fractions for them. The kind old moth
er was still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en-
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy We're
worth more to them thar gold. They
locke upon her as Il sort of venerable
goddess, and when she finally went
away from the home circle she left a
vacancy which could never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp-
tom Of rejoicing that these conditions

HAUNTED BY GHOSTS.
brooklyn Family Disturbed by sua

Brooklyn Family Disturbed by sus-
gestions of Millions in Cellar.
New York special: The Endom fam
lily, consisting of Captain Endom, wife,
and four children, have for more than
two years been visited by a family of
ghosts Of equal number who, through
their leader, have held out such ALLURE
ing prospects of hidden Jewels and
chests of gold and silver which were
buried*by pirates years ago in a cellar
at John and Bridge streets, Brooklyn,
that the captain has forgotten his en-
gtneering, the children their school, and
Mrs. Endom her housekeeping, in the
wild dream Of possible millions from
the Elusive treasure of departed years.
Mrs. Endom, when seen today at the
family home, S31 East Ninetieth street,
said that for months little else had been
though of than the offers and promises
OF this spiritual family. and that after
digging in the cellar indicated for
months, until water and loose sand
threatened the safety of the workers
and the building, the captain had been
ferced, through lack of funds and inn
plen1ents, to quit work. But he was
now trying to get help from friends or
relatives 50 that the work could be

1eO, 900 Bibles Issued.

London Telegraph: The British. and
Foreign Bible society, which in a few
months completes a century of work, has
issued no fewer than 1870, 900, 900 copies of
the scriptures, which are now printed in
nearly 400 different languages. The ac-
tual revision of the text Of the recently
completed Malagasi bible. apart from the
printing, cost the society over $4,000. This
is a trifle compared with the expense Of
translation work at the beginning Of the
last century. Grant by the society to
DR.. Morrison and his assistants for pro-
ducing the first Chinese bible totaled
s1O, 600, while to DR.. William Carey and
his associates In the various Serampore
versions the grants of money and ma
terial exceeded GSO.0 600. On the other hand,
the revision Of the Lifu bible for the Loy-
atty islands, although 1t occupied three
years and involved $3.50 corrections. en-
tailed no more expense for the six natives
who assisted the revisers than an annual
grant of six suits of clothes. The diver
sity of tongues to be found in one country
is often q matter of surprise. Last year
the society's agents sold the scriptures in
ffty-three languages in the Russian em-
pire. In twenty-eight languages in Bur-
nah, IN thirty in South Malaysia and in
fifty-nine In the Egyptian agency.

on her. What young lady in those days,
or In these days, either, could long with,
stand such q condition of things When al
man in the case was one like CaptainI
Chaffee? Anyway, Miss Annie ROCKWELL
OF Junction City, a sister of Captain
Rockwell, who served through the civil
war, surrendered, and in due time there
was a military Wedding in Junction City.
1t took place in the Presbyterian church,
1t was the first and the finest military
wedding that has taken place in that city
or vicinity. The best man was a young
first lieutenant, George S. Anderson. He
IL now colonel Of the Eighth cavalry. 1t
was a wedding where. two lovers met.
They have been lovers ever since. Mrs.
Chaffee has shared a soldiers life with
her gallant husband. She was with him
in the Philippines, and hundreds Of men
and women, 10000 miles from home, whom
she aided with good counsel, sympathy,
kind words and otherwise, will join heart
lily in congratulating the noble woman
upon her husbands last promotion. Mrs.
Chafee was a social leader in the Philip
pines. and a constant helper where help
was needed. There was no more popular
American lady IN the Philippines.
In the civil war the new lieutenant gen
eral was twice breveted for distinguished
bravery In battle. and In Indian cam
paigns he was recommended for two
more, FOR major and lieutenant colonel.
1t is a somewhat remarkable fact that
Lieutenant General Chafree succeeds a
pennsylvania man who enlisted as a pri-
Yate, and the General Young succeeded
Lieutenant General Miles, who volun-
teered when they did. but was at once
made a lieutenant. Without doubt Cen

ELECTION MANNERS,

Men Requested to Remove Hats in Vot-
ing Booth.
Youths Companion: A man may be
judged by the ideas to which he un-
covers. Even the most uncouth youth
will remove his hat when he enters a
church or when he greets a ladv. If
he raises it in difference to the passing
OF a funeral or the national flag, he
marks himself as one to whom ideas
are as potent as personalities.
Inc interior of a polling booth is not,
to the eye, an impressive or inspiring
place. 1t is commonly a vacant store or
an empty schooi ROOM, and even when
1t is a building erected for the
as in the larger cities, it's bare walls
are relieved only by the narrow alcove,
where each mar secures the privacy
which the law demands,
Until within a few years the deport-
ment OF voters was in keeping with the
surroundings. Men came in with their
hats on, and smoked cigars While they
marked their ballots. The election off,
GERS set the example. But there has
been a wholesome change. In nearly
every city the policemen on duty at
the polling place now requests voters
not to smoke in the booth, and the GUS
tom Is growing Of removing the hat on
entering the place.
DSllSl puUllC sentiment IS coming
into existence. Men are beginning to
feel that those bare board walls stand
for something besides an irksome duty
or a partisan advantage; that they
represent the civic freedom and the lib
erty of political thought and action
which are the most precious possess
sion of any people. Voters take off
their hats to an idea. The city Of New
ton, Mass, deserves credit for estab-
fishing another admirable custom. This
year, on the morning Of election day,
the chimes in one Of the city churches
announced the opening Of the polls, at
6 o'clock, by the notes of my Country,
'Tis Of Thee" Newton was the home,
during the latter part Of his life, Of
Rev. Samuel E. Smith, the author of
