GHOSTS.

The closing performance Of lbsen's
Ghosts was given at the Tacoma thea
ter last night by Alberta Gallatin and a
company of actors that are far above the
average. The play is unusual in that
there are only five people in the cast, and
the scenery never changes throughout the
performance. While there are some tedi
Gus periods in the piece, there is sort
of uncanBy interest throughout that holds
the audience almost spelbound, and there
is much that will furnish food for reflec
ton for all thoughtful minds The fate Of
the transgressor and the effect Of his
wrongdoing on generations to come is set
forth in wonderfully striking manner.

STOWE NOT IN LOUISIANA.
Uncle Of That Town Receives Letter
From Peculiar Nephew, Who
Is in Virginia.

CLoUIsIANA, No., March s7.-The re-
port that Victor n. Stowe, the New
York cotton man who recently disap-
peared from New Orleans, is In this
city is incorrect. The report that he
is here grew out Of the fact that his
uncle, Colonel Clarence Buell., lives
here.
Colonel Clarence Buell. ishis~ favorite
uncle and in spite OF Stoves peculiar
ways has remained his friend and
adviser. Stowe Is about 20 years old,
and inherited a fortune from bis faith
er, ]. j. Stove, OF Audrain county,
much OF which was In land near Nor
folk, Va.
About four years ago Stowe disap-
peared and some Of his friends report
ed the matter to Colonel Buell., who
began searching for him. He heard
of Stowe in Texas, followed him 70
Virginia, and finally caught up with
him In South America at the home OF
an uncle. Stowe then came back to
New York and went into the cotton
business.
When the recent crash came he was
in New Orleans and had his board
paid in advance. He received some
money by express and walked out Of
the hotel, leaving his oyercoat and
grip, and has not been seen since. The
amount OF money he received was
much exaggerated.
Colonel Buell. says II was $500, and
the hotel man, fearing he had met
with foul play, reported the disap
pearance to the papers, and later u
Colonel Buell.. Colonel Buell. sent
few kilograms and finally received q
letter from Stowe which ran as fol
lows:
Dear Uncle: II | had known whai
a hullabaloo / was going to create b.
leaving on old coat and a grip at tb,
hotel in New Orleans, | would neyel
have gone to the town"
He detailed the situation and asked
that no uneaisness be felt abnut him
Colonel Buell. says this tit his surmis'
50 we'll that he was satisfied anC
dropped the matter from his mind
He did not keep the letter and doe
not remember the address, but think
1t was from some place in Virginia,
Colonel Buell. attaches no specia
significance to the conduct OF Stowe
but explains it as one of the younI
mans pec1liarities.

a number of property overs say they

They claim that in addition 10 the

they are used as a slaughter house.
We sincerely trust that arrangements
