We agree with The Leavenworth Post that Admiral Evans was talking nonsense when he said in effect that whether our ships are made of steel or of leather we can whip any other nation on the sea. A little boasting may be allowed to a man like the Ad- miral, who has made the reputation he has. but there was no need of laying it on quite so thick.

A NEW PERIL.

Another danger to the much re- viled and persecuted newspaper comes to light in connection with a recent damage suit in a Manitoba court. It seems that a newspaper of Winnipeg printed a story about haunted house, as newspa pers have a somewhat con- firmed habit of doing. In fact, newspaper reporter who would not make good story about a house re- puted to have "hants" prowling about it's dark recesses would not be looked on as a competent pencil -pusher. In this case the house belonged to a man named Nagy. and the account goes on to say:
 He sued the newspaper for giving his house a bad name and thus i'm pairing It's selling or renting value. The lawyers for the defense Insisted that in order to recover damages he must prove that the house wasn't haunted. Tt is impossible to prove such a matter by evidence in the The very nature of a ghost. as under stood by superstitious people. Is that of phantom appearing at rare inter vals Unless therefore we hold that courts should take judicial cognizance of the fact that ghosts do not exist, the falsity of the statement could never be absolutely proved think that the members of a court may, and there are not such things as ghosts and that therefore the statement is necessarily false" Nagy got his judgment against the newspaper, and x1yaC affirmed a he
 Now, as all must admit, here is a real danger for the up-to-date news paper men. Let us suppose that one of The Advertisers star reporters should receive a tip that certain house in Montgomery. otherwise un- inhabited, is populated by a family of ghosts. Naturally the reporter would write it up in fine style-a style that would raise goose bumps on the read CTS of the story perhaps even describ- ing the dress and appearance of the ghostly inhabitants. Then we will suppose that the owner of the house should follow the Nagy example and bring suit against the paper for damages what could be done? How could the paper prove it's case2 It would hardly be possible, we imagine to catch a genuine ghost and have him or she, or 1t, brought into court as evidence that such things were in the house, and perhaps 1t would not be possible to find a witness who would swear that he or she had actually seen the uncanny disturbers of the quiet and peace of all good citizens. The result if the Manitoba precedent should be followed, would be that the reporters story would be pronounced moonshine and The Advertiser be con- victed of libel and made to pay dam ages. Verify there's danger in ghosts.
 That judge, too, was wise in his day and generation. We do not have very high opinion of the plea made by the newspapers lawyers who wanted Nagy to prove that the house was not

On the night of the tragedy she tel
ephoned to DR.. Auspitz at his home
in East Ninety-third street In the
guise of a patient she summoned the
physician to make a professional call
at an apartment house in West 135th
street. When the physician arrived
at the house the young woman, heav-
lily yelled, met. him in the vestibule
and without word shot and killed
him instantly.
After the killing Miss Koten collap-
sed and for days her life was despaired
of. Because of her condition she was
removed from the Tombs to the city
hospital on Blackwell's Island. There,
on September &c last, she gave birth
to a child. The circumstances sur
rounding the case aroused much pub
lie sympathy in behalf of the unfor-
tunate and friendless young woman.
This sympathy was increased when it
became known that charges similar to
those made by the young Jewess had
previously been preferred against DR..
AuspitZ by another woman who had
been in his employ. Through the eff
forts of charitably disposed persons,
able counsel has been engaged to
conduct the defense of Miss Koten.
