their mysterious movings about, it had
gotten out that the house was haunted,
and myself was pleased to verify my
past feeling that some one, unseen,
was present.
Well, they all went to prison for
several years, and the secret entrance
to our house was securely stopped, thus
doing away forever with its reputation
of being haunted by evil spirits.

BOY HAD PLENTY OF NERVE.
Was Not Discouraged by the Mad
kush Of Infuriated Bulls.

kusn OF 1ufur1ated Bulle.
There was an accident shortly after
the close of a novillada at the Plaza
Mexico that came near resulting In the
death Of few young hopefuls who
took it into their heads that they would
like to join in the national sport.
Shortly after the crowd left the ring
a half dozen young boys of ages rang
ing from II to 10 years got down into
the bull ring to play bull fight. One
Of the number thought the game was
too slow, SO while the ring attendants
were busy about other work he entered
the pen where the bulls were confined
and slyly let one of them into the
ring.
With mad rush the big black bull
entered the ring. One of the little
boys had been using his plush linen
cape for capa in his plays with the
other boys and he was near the door
when the bull entered. Although one
of the opposite gates was open the bull
made no effort to get away, but rushed
| at the boy with the cape.
There was but one thing for the boy
| to do, and he did it. With all the
knowledge which he had gained by
| watching the matadors in the ring he
let the bull charge the cape. But his
arms were too short and the bull
struck him hard blow, knocking the
little fellow fully fifty feet and tearing
his shoulder with his horn. The angry
bull then turned his attention to the
red cape.
When the other boys saw the bull
charging them they fed for the fence
and climbed to safety, where they
watched the bull tearing the cape
Finally it occurred to one of the older
boys that by all charging for the bull
he might possibly be scared away
from the PROSTATE body Of the injured
lad. So with clubs and boards they
drove the bull from the ring. They
gave their attention to the bull none
too quickly, for he had tired Of paving
the cape and was making for the boy
When the doctors got in their worl

Angel Morelos, they found that thu

BREWER DECIDES CASE.
Finds That q Railroad Can Hold
Freight to Collect Charges.

Washington, Jan. 14.-In an opinion
by Justice Brewer the supreme court
of the United States has decided the
case of the Wabash railroad company
versus William N. Pearse, executor of
Charles e. Pearse, involving the Ques-
ton as to whether a common carrier
retains a lien on imported goods
shipped in bond to a given point and
on which tariff charges have been paid
by the company in transit. The goods
involved in this case consisted of four
boxes of curios purchased in Japan by
Charles E. Pearse and shipped by the
Canadian railroad company'S steamers
to Vancouver and thence over the Ca
madam Pacific and connecting lines to
ST. Paul. Mimi, where the railway
company was required to pay the tariff
charges, 1854. The goods were trans
ferred to the wabash company and by
it delivered at st. Louis. Pearse re-
sisted the claim of the railroad to hold
the goods until the money paid on ac-
count of the tariff should be refunded,
and the st. Louis court of appeals sus-
tanned this view. That decision was
however, reversed by the opinion, in
which it was held that it is common
law duty of the carrier to receive, carry
and deliver goods and by virtue of this
obligation it is entitled to retain pos
session until its charges are paid. Nor
is this lien confined to it's charges for
transported ton.

organized here under the name of
Daughters of the Faith" It's purpose

these usages and customs that are the
evident causes of the spread of moral
evil in society,"
Women of the best families and most
distinguished Catholics in New York
city are among the charter members.
The most severe structures are con-
tanned in the manual, open only to the
members, which contains a foreword by
Cardinal Gibbons, Monsignor Falconio
and Archbishop Farley. In the manual

consult with the officers of the Jewish
Agricultural association regarding a
movement to establish homesteads in
the west for Jews from Russia and
Roumania. One of the principal OBJ

relations between the Jewish Industrial
Aid association here and an association
of similar purpose in Milwaukee.
Our plan,' he said, lis to buy tracts
of land to be cut up into farms; to
equip these farms and put newly ar
rived immigrants in possession, with
the opportunity of buying these homes
from the association. The money thus
repaid can at once be invested in ex-

that it will cost about 81, 200 or 81, 400

FITZ LIKES SHARKEY.
Thinks the Sailor Is a Hard Man to
Defeat.

New York, Jan.14-Bob Fitzsimmons
has a very exalted opinion of Tom
Sharkeys fighting ability. I was talk
ing with the freckled champion on the
subject of fighting and fighters in gen
eral, says Robert Edgers.
"Sharkey is one of the most danger
Gus fellows I ever fought" said Fitz-
simmons. II met him twice, and 1
found out that 1 had to watch him like
cat. There is never any way of
knowing what he may do next, when
he is in a corner, because he does not
know himself, and he's got a wallop
that will knock a mans head off if it
lands right.
THE only way to fight Sharkey is to
watch him close, never let him get at
you at all, and knock his head off
when he is coming at you.
1T takes a man who can punch a
hole in him to beat him, and that is
the only way it can be done.
"Munroe? Just you wait. Sharkey
will wallop Munroe alongside the jaw
the way he did Rubin, and there will
be a sick miner"
"Munroe has improved since you saw
him in Montana" 1 suggested.
F'itzsimmons shifted and looked far
away. well, he'll need a lot of Inn
proving to beat Sharkey. The sailor is
as hard game as 1 want to find, and
no amateur is going to have the wal
lop needed to put him away with.
There's only one thing 1 hope, and
that is that Munroe will have fair
chance, and there won't be any Wyatt
Earps around. If Munroe Eks Tom
guess I'll have to take a chance at the
miner Idl rather fight him than take
a chance with Sharkey, anyhow.
Last time Tom and fought he
landed one on me just the way he die
on Gus Rubin, and nearly cracked my
head He's a dangerous fellow, for he
doesn't fight like a boxer. He swings
so fast that he is apt to land one any
time when you aren't looking out FOL
it, and then the next thing you know
you are listening to the count.
