Frfghtens Passers-by.
Newark, n. j., June For several
weeks persons living on the outskirts OF
Jacksonville, n. J.. have taken a wide
detour after nightfall TO avoid passing an
empty house on the abandoned farm for
merly occupied by Joseph Holloway.
The house had the reputation Of being
haunted. At night those who ventured
near TO the building heard strains OF
weird music emanating from the interior,
and other strange sounds aided in ere
ating the impression that ghosts tenanted
the dlsmal-lookipg structure.
Bolder spirits OF the village finally de-
cided that they would solve the mystery
Of the haunted house. Jacob GrOwther,
Charles Spangler. and Michael Doremus
formed a committee of investigation. The
trio approached the haunted house about
9 o'clock. AS they neared the building
their ears were greeted by the uncanny
music that had alarmed the timid way
farers. Growther wanted to turn back,
but his courage was bolstered up by the
determined demeanor OF his companions,
who declared they would solve the mys-
terry. no matter what occurred.
One Of the men carried a lantern He
led the way in through the open door.
The strange music led them into what
was formerly the kitchen. A strange
form loomed up before them and hollow
rattle of the board floor marked the sud-
den termination Of the music.
Under the glare Of the light the mystery
was solved The ghost" was an old
mule belonging to Abraham Wallen. g
farmer. AS the men gazed on the startled
mule the music started again, and the in
vestigators then learned how 1t origi-
mated. The hairless tail OF the mule beat
rapidly over wires that the former Occu-
pants Of the house had left on the kitchen
window. Every time the mule switched
his tail the wires gave forth a sound like
some one strumming on a harp.
Now Jacksonville breathes easier.

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW.

The mother OF four sturdy boys told me
the other day the secret OF her long and
pleasant association with a notOriously
disagreeable family that lived directly
across the street. Everybody else In the
neighborhood had clashed with the mem
bers, because they had no patience with
either children or animals To be sure
they did not stone the former. but there
are other ways in which to touch a
mothers sensitive feelings, and that fam
ily had q gift OF making uncomfortable
discoveries.
The four boys have now outgrown the
mischlevous and curious age. and the
two families are on good. friendly terms,
because their mother had an abundance
OF good sense. She used to receive dis
agreeable notes, complaining OF her boys,
delivered so often that she knew they
were sometimes unjustly accused. She
read them. learned the facts Of the case
from the children, who were particularly
truthful. reproyed and punished, when
necessary. and calmly ignored the chance
for coldness between the two families
which the letters gave.
There is no surer road TO strained rela-
tons between nelghbors than through the
behavior Of the children or the trespass-
ing OF animals. SO many OF US carry ex-
posed nerves that rough touch partici-
pates trouble. / presume that children
have always been mischieyOus. and dogs
and cats destructive. but mothers used tC

and vote. He VIII remain there await

Friends OF Mr.. Carlln predict that he
will win out by a majority OF 1900. Mr..
Gordon's supporters make the claim that
his majority will be from 400 to 200.
Mr., Carlin has the advantage over Mr..
Gordon of having what is regarded as
almost perfect organization. and he was
materially assisted in the triangular
fight last year by the organization.
Mr.. Carlin only took the stump Mon
day last, following the adjournment or
Congress. and since then has made a
whirlwind stumping tour. speaking in
two or three places a day. Mr.. Gordon
has been on the stump for several
months past. and has practically stump
ed the entire district. Friends OF both
candidates have worked indefatlgably,
and from present indications the vote
which will be cast Tuesday will be one
OF the largest ever polled in this dis
