The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1907-07-27

A story is told Of a New York car
conductor who had once been in the
ministry and who retained some of his
former ways of speech in his new call
ing. He had been at the front of the
car collecting fares, and when he re-
turned to his platform well disposed
person told him that man had board
ed the car at Houston street and had
found a place inside. The conductor
stepped inside the doorway and ran his
mild gaze up and down the car, but
could not be sure which of the tightly
packed passengers was the late arrival.
"Will the gentleman who got on at
Houston street please rise?" he asked
calmly.
The gentleman rose involuntarily.
and, with bow and a THANK your
the conductor collected his fare.

TRIAL MARRIAGES.



"Handfasting' was custom that ex-
listed for ages in Scotland. The con-
tracing parties met ut the annual
fairs in their several districts There
young men chose the maids who best
pleased them They joined hands and
by that act became maE and rife until
the corresponding day Of tie following
year. III the love and fortunes of the
pairs had prospered during the year.
on the anniversary of their meeting
they were legally married by the
priest; if ell had not been well, then
they parted.
The practice Is supposed to have
arisen from the scarcity Of clergy. If
the pair decided to part at the end Of
the twelvemonth, the bride was at lib
erty to marry another man, her ap-
premiership to matrimony not carry
ing with 1t any reproach to her. Such
marriages were by custom made legal.
Any issue resulting from the union
would In the case OF a second marriage
be taken by the father and rank as
heir after the children Of the marriage
which lasted for life.
Many weddings were unmade at the
end Of the year, but it was dangerous

man who had welded the kinswoman

Sleat awaited himself of his right to
send back the sister of a Macleod Of

FEAR or GHOSTS.
Harmless Visitors From Whom We All
Shrink In Terror.

Shrink In Terror.
Deep down In the heart of man there
abides a firm belief in the power OF the
dead to walk upon the earth and af-
fright, If such be their pleasure, the
souls of the living Wise folks. versed
in the sciences and fortified in mind
against faith in aught that sayors Of
the superna turaI, laugh ideas Of the
kind to scorn, yet hardly one of them
will dare to walk alone through a
graveyard in the night. or if one be
found so bold he will surely hasten his
footsteps, unable wholly to subdue the
fear Of sheeted specters which may
rise from the grass grown graves o.
emerge from moonlit tombs and follow
ON, for, strangely enough, the dead, IL
not actually hostile to the living, are
esteemed dangerous and dreadful 10
encounter.
1t used to be the fashion, says a writ
er in Lippincott's Magazine, to sweep
away all such notions by saying that
they had their origin in the childhood
of the race and that they sprang from
fear of the unknown. This unques-
tionably was the easiest way to dis
pose of them, but was it fair? The
subject possesses intense interest for a
great majority of mankind, and, though
the existence Of ghosts is improved,
there is undeniably vast deal of ties
timony in their behalf that deserves
serious and respectful consideration.
Fortunately, within the last few years
the attitude of science toward the
problem has altogether changed. and.
actuated by new spirit of inquiry. the
wise men have been enga ged, thought
fully and without prejudice, in study
ing it out.
While 1t cannot be said that any final
and definite conclusions have as yet
been reached, an immense amount of
evidence has been sifted, enough to
show pretty conclusively for one point
that the traditional specter of the Cock
Lane school, with clanking chain and
attributes disagreeably suggestive Of
the grave, has no basis in fact. On the
other hand, there are certain phantoms,
altogether different in their character
istics, in whose behalf mass of testi-
mony Is adduced far greater than
would be required to establish COM
plete proof in any ordinary case in
court of law. Nothing short of abso-
lutte demonstration in such a matter
can be satisfactory. but the evidence
in question certainly staggers incre-
dulity.
Our fear of phantoms appears to
spring from Il dread of the unknown,
the mysterious and the intangible.
That 1t is a groundless terror is proved
by the fact that in many thousands of
cases Of alleged spectral appearances
subjected during the last few years to
painstaking investigation not single
instance has been found in which an
injury was inflicted by the ghost upon
the person or persons to whom it pre-
scented itself. So that even if we are
to accept apparitions as veritable, we
ought to regard them with curiosity
rather than with apprehension, and in
stead of trying to avoid such supernat-
ural visitors we should eagerly seek an
to be haunted for the sake
of observing for ourselves phenomena
so intensely interesting.
