The Boatman of Hanover
DERHAPS the most remarkable story dealing with
supernatural premontions of demise in the roy
al family of Great Britain is that which concerns
the so-called : Boatman of Hanover" The exist
ence of this ghOstly bOatnan is vouched for, not
merely by all the Thames watermen, but also
by people of the highest rank. The great grand
father of the present Earl of Portarlington has
placed record how, when standing with friend
on Westminster Bridge on the night of June 90,
1890, both saw small wherry containing little
mutfied figure dart suddenly from the shadows of
way down the river. While they were watching
the small craft Thames waterman nearby
claimed IN an awestruck voice: There goes the
bOatnan to Hanover
On being asked what he meant, the man explained
that King George ~. must be dead, as the figure
always appeared the demise of the sovereign his
consOrt, the direct heir the throne, and that
he rowed to Hanover to carry news. On the follow
ing morning Colonel the Right Hon. George Dawson
Damer (whO by the way, was married to the adopted
daughter of King George Tvs Catholic wife, Mrs.
Fitzherbert) heard that the monarch had died
at the very hour when he and his companion had
seen the wherry set out from beneath the bridge
The ghostly boatman is said to have come over
with the house of Hanover, and to have been seen
at the death of each of the English sovereigns of
that dynasty. When the Prince Consort died in
1901, the boatman is stated to have appeared from
beneath Westminster Bridge: and again at the
very moment when Queen Victoria breathed her
last at Osborne, number Of well-educated, level
headed responsible people claim to have beheld the
messenger Of death bending to his his ghostly
errand to Hanover.

Emperor Frederick, who did not hesitate 70
talk earnestly about the White Lady, grew
grave and silent when it was suggested to him
that he should give the desired permission.
As for the present Kaiser. he has sternly
forbidden that the matter should ever be
mentioned in his presence.
That Hampton Court Palace is supposed
to be haunted is nothing new. 1t has long
enjoyed that reputation. Indeed the Cor

as having ordered twelve thousand masses

of the palace. 1t IS said that her last words took
the form of oath to be the death of everyone
of the HOhenzOllerns for all time.
Thomas CARLYLE went to no little trouble, when
writing his history of Frederick the Great procure
evidence to show that the White Lady appeared to
that famous monarch on the eve of his death The
King it is asserted was the high road to recovery
from his illness, when suddenly morning he
declared that he had her in the night that his
hour had come, and that it useless to attempt to
ward off death any longer So he refused to take
any further medicine nOurishment turned his
face to the wall and died.
The White Lady is considered sufficiently real even
by the hard headed matter of-fact commanders of
the Prussian army lead the adoption of special
measures, whenever her appearance is reported
The she IS seen, the Sentines in and around
the royal palace at Berlin are doubled. The object
of this is to prevent the sentinels from follow

Emperor Williams Attitude
XTHILE Emperor William, unlike his father, has
w never as vet given auv expression to his belief
in the White Lady Of the Hohenzollerns he displays
his superstition by his absolute refusal to permit any
steps to be taken to clear up the mystery which
has existed for more than hundred years in
nection with the royal hunting chateau of Grune-
wald which, like the great palace at Berlin, is sup
posed to be haunted. Indeed it is regarded with
considerable misgivngs by the peasantry of the
surrounding district 1t is an old castle built over
two centuries ago by the father of the first King of
Prussia and has been the of several tragedies.
The which is supposed to have led to the haunt
ing of the chateau was the killing by one of the
Princes of the house of Hohenzolern, in a fit of
passion of Prussan nobleman, who was his guest
at the time. The Prince IS reported to have run his
sword through the nobleman one of the principal
starcases from the upper story the ground floor.
Access to the staircase from either floor was inn
mediately bricked up. Endeavors have repeatedly
been made since to obtain permission from SOW
ereigns of the house of Hohenzollern to tear down
the two walls, not only for the sake of the con-
venence which this staircase would afford, but also
with the object of setting at rest the popular
superstitions and rurnors on the subject. Neither
King Frederick William " old Emperor VIII
liam would however, ever hear of such thing.

HOUSE,

A message from Gov. Vardaman reat
in the House and Senate had a whirlwinc
effect. The Legislature Immediately
turned about face and established a pol
icy entirely different from what it had
heretofore adopted.
The message related to the amend,
ment, recently adopted by both houses
after some debate, allowing corporations
to hold and W pine timber land and
standing pine timber to any amount not
exceeding $4,000 600, which was q
raise Of $4,000, 900 ovcr the present law
The opponents of the bill opposed it on
the ground that under it the corpora
tons would gobble up the timber land,
but the amendment had behind it a well
organized and powerful lobby. The Gov
crnor in his message opposed this raise,
saying it would foster the breeding OF
trusts.
Immediately after the message was
read similar resolutions were introduced
in both houses reducing the amount to
50, 900, 900 instead Of $4,000, 900. After
n strenuous debate in both houses, dur
ing which the leaders of the 50, 100, 900
raise pleaded with the members to stand
by their guns despite the Governors
statement, the resolution passed, rcduc-
ing the limit to $4,000, O00.
Mr.. Smith, of Yalobusha, called up a
bill requiring all public buildings to be
