and a few minutes later kerosene

apparent cause
The following morning the family
discovered that the pictures in the
family album had all been taken out
and torn into minute pieces. Next
day the servant discovered that her
dress, which had been hanging in a
closet, had been torn into shreds, and
on the following morning the gar

marked that he would have to hurry

"Let me give you my card before

RUSH FOR TITLES
LONDON OFFICIALS EAGERLY
GRAB FOR KINGS PLUMS.
Public Pays the Expense of the Cer-
emony - Would Be Called
Graft in the United
States

London. When a new public build
ing is opened by the sovereign the oc-
casion is always concentrated by
the comforting of various titles. These
dignities seldom are bestowed ON the
folk most concerned In the work.
those who really deserve them.
The architect who designs the build
Ing, the contractor who builds 1t, and
the sculptor who beauties Ii are
usually ignored and the honors are
reaped by some pompous BUNDLES"
whose good fortune II is to be in Office
when the opening occurs and to figure
conspicuously in the ceremonies.
The new "Old Bailey" which occu-
pies the site of the grim historic senti-
nel which so long stood as a warn
Ing to evildoers, will not be ready for
business until next year is well adj
vanced. Indeed, certain parts of the
building will probably be far from
complete until 1908, AT present II Is
little more than huge empty shelf.
1t stands within the bailiwick OF
that quaint survival of medievalism,
the corporation OF the city of Londes,,
which rules supreme over one square
mile of the heart of the metropolis.
Most of its gorgeously uniformed fg-
urehead officials, including the lord
mayor himself, hold Office for one
year. If the royal opening should not
take place until the building is really
ready for public use, they would lose
all chance of getting knighthood or
some Of the other royal favors that
will be distributed on the occasion.
So they have fooled the king and
stolen a march on their successors by
arranging to have the opening take
place within month or two.
The squabble for empty titles among
these fussy fossils would be welcomed
as providing something to laugh at In
this somber old city but for the fact
that It involves fleeing the ratepayers
to the tune of $4,000. To put the
building in shape for this premature
opening--to 'temporize" 1t, as 1t IL
called--will cost all of that sum, and
1t will be a sheer waste of money.
The exposure of such unjustifiabN
squandering of public funds In any
American city would start prodigi-
GUS row, but the top lofty, incorrupti-
BILE officials here treat 1t with indiner-
ence. It cannot be called stealing, and
so 1t does not matter, though as far an
the ratepayers are concerned II
amounts to the same thing.

tale of ghosts that has ever appeared
in print, and, although related az
the truth by the man who has suf-
fered most from these supernatural
visits, it appears incredible. Mr.. Sur
rency, who is a living witness, is pos
sibly so or So years old and has
charge of the railway station at Sur
rency. He possesses the quiet courte-
sly and dignity of manner of the true
gentleman of the south, and his story
is as follows:
"My fathers name was A. f. Sur
rency. He built our old home there
in the '40's, and he with my mother.
brothers and sisters lived here many
years before the troubles came which
finally drove us from the place.
Zone afternoon In the summer Of
1870 my mother was sewing in her
bedroom when she heard an unaccus-
toned noise. Again and yet again IL
came with ever lessening intervals.
and when my mother, interested In
spite of herself finally glanced up she
was amazed to see the pitcher in tho
bowl on the washstand rocking back
and forth. She got up and went over
to the pitcher to see If any string
or wire were attached to it, for a
mother of mischievous boys is rarely
taken by surprise, but she found
none, and investigation assured her
that all her boys were out of the
house and she was indeed alone.
"She resumed her former seat and
her sewing and was about to con-
clude that the strange occurrences
would not be repeated, when she was
amazed to see the pitcher lift itself
several inches from the bowl and ther
settle down into it again with loud
noise.
This was repeated several times
then the pitcher was lifted entirely
out of the bowl and placed, with de
liberate care. beside it on the wash
stand.

HAS MAMMOTH STURGEON.
Eight and Half Footer, Weighing
800 Pounds, in New York
Aquarium.

New York.-The Aquarium has now
the biggest sturgeon ever shown here,
this specimen measuring eight and
one-half feet in length, while its esti-
mated weight is placed at fully 300
pounds. This big sturgeon was taken
in a pound net in the bay back of
Sandy Hook.
1t has been placed in the Aquarium's
great central pool, where 1t has for
company, among other fishes, four
other surgeons ranging in length from
three and one-half to seven feet each.
In tank on the gallery tier is a live
ly lite sturgeon one foot in length,
so that now the Aquarium has va
ried assortment of these striking
fishes.
The little sturgeon on the gallery
was eight inches in length when
brought in, two years ago. The stur-
geon no doubt grows faster in free
dom, where it can find its natural
food and have room for exercise, than
In captivity. The sturgeon is sup
posed to live to an age of from 50 TO
/ rs years. 1t attains a length of IL

Dinner Table Disturbed.

"These insignificant beginnings
we're only the preludes to larger and
more disastrous results. Frequently
it happened, when the family was
seated at meals, milk, water, tea, cof-
fee and soup were flung into the faces
of various members, in several in
stances infiicting painful scalds and
burns, and at the same time the
spoon were broken or suddenly twist
ed out of shape in their nands."
Impossible? Well. science has late
