LONDON, May 17--Sir Gilbert Parker,
who asserts that he saw the astral body Of
Sir Came Rasch in the House Of Commons
while the latter was i'll at his home, is re-
ceiving confederation of his extraordinary
hallucination. Sir Arthur Hayter writes
as follows:
Il beg to say that not only saw Sir Carne
Rasch myself sitting below the gangway but
/ called him to the attention Of Sir Henry
Campbell BannerInan with whom was
talking on the front opposition bench, say
ing 1 wondered why all the papers had I'LL
serted notices of Sir Carne's illness while
he was sitting opposite, apparently quite
we'll. Sir Henry replied that he hoped his
illness was not catching
1t seems that this is not the first instance
of the sort that has occurred in the House
In 1897 Mr.. O'Connor, an Irish member,
went to Ireland to be present at the death
bed Of one OF his parents. Swift Mcneil
saw his wrath in his usual seat on the third
opposition bench. 1t was also seen from
the press gallery
Thirty years ago a member who was
abroad suffering from an acute malady
received an urgent five line whip. He re-
piled that he would attend the House at
whatever cost to his health. The House
divided on the matter at issue and the divi-
sion lobby tellers saw the member and
counted his vote. The next day it was
found that the number of votes recorded by
the division clerks was one less than given
by the lobby clerks, and on the list of the
former this particular name did not appear,
as 1t did on the list OF the latter. At the
time the division was taken the member

An elderly woman who sailed yesterday
for Liverpool in the steerage OF the White
Star liner Majestic ran up the gangpank
just as it was being moved away from the
ship and made an effort to leap the space
to get aboard. As she left the edge OF the
plank John Anderson an employee OF the
line, grabbed her by the back OF her dress
and held on. She was suspended about
minute over the river, forty feet below,
and then hauled up TO the plank by mon
who came to Anderson's aid. The plank
was moved back to the ships side and the
woman, somewhat fustered, but not hurt,
got aboard. A moment later lelated
second cabin passenger Bessie Flannagan
of Brooklyn, also tried to jump from the
end Of the gangpank az it was being swung
out from the ship. She had run up the
plank with Anderson at her heels. he
got her on the very edge and dragged her
back. The plank was swung toward the
