DAYS before. but everyone demanded
miracles and hung around expecting
the cookstove to pirouette, the family
portraits to commence a conversation
or ghostly fingers to thumb tam
BOURNE.
And not thing happened more as
tonishing than the arrival of the po-
lice when they were wanted.
To those who showed any intelligent
interest in the phenomena reported,
the truth of which was reiterated by
many who had been witnesses, the prin-
cipal actors told their stories, but as
the day aged the crowd grew until the
occupants of the house had to have
someone to clear a place for them to
move in At one time yesterday morn
ING it looked as if half the children
in the city were on the lawn around
the house. .jamming the doorways,
swarming around the windows and
making general nuisances of them
selves. All day crowds of older ones
came, some rapping on the door and
asking questions of the ones answer
ing, others walking in without any
formalities and treating the place as
a sort of show.
AS vet the whole mysteriodR doings
in the house are unexplained. The
priests who were called in shrug their
shoulders when questioned and refuse
to advance any theory, and those
among the callers who are skilled In
things occult decided that there are
more things in heaven and earth and
Punchbowl than are dreamed of in the
ordinary philosophy. It twas disap-
poiutinp. of course, to have the bacon
irving in the pan in the most matter
of fact way instead of jumping out
onto the floor. and to see the cups stay
on the shelves and the pictures on the
wall. but it was some satisfaction to
handle the very stone that had been
dropped by an unseen hand through
the unpierced roof and to see the very
picture that had had sudden and mys-
FERROUS migrations only few hours
before.
Girl Denies Being a Medium.
The ghost affair, while it has inter
ested and amused the city, has not
been unalloyed joy to either Mr.. ana
Mrs. Pecarick or to Esperance Con
salves. who is now known as the
beautiful Spanish girl. - Pecarlck IS
worried. He stated yesterday that he
had neither eaten nor slept for three
DAVIS, and his looks bore out his state
ment. He is much more worried than
| his wife, although she, too, was PLAIN
| lv WORKOUT by last night. The little
| girl is the most seriously affected,
| however, and yesterday afternoon she
was in tears the greater part of the
| time. 1t was small wonder, too, for
her appearance on the street was the
| signal Yesterday for the children to
circle around her and point her out as
witch, haunting her, but stunning
'1the evil eye' carefully. 1t would APP
| near that she is due for a series of
| prosecutions over the alleged NANTES
1 tations on Sunday, which the ignorant
L ones among her neighbors are con
/ WINGED were the doings of the devil.
ANY share in the stunts and any
necromarfcv on her part the fearful
damsel strongly denies. She also re-
sents being told that she is a medium,
unconscious or otherwise.
''Those women they say I do those
things but I don t know ] don t dc
those things and / do know she says
Indignantly. ''They say that the
power it pass through me- / don t fee

things pass bzzz past my head, but

How I could do those things, Ell? i

a million dollars. and I don I have Il
