HIST0RIA DE APaRECID0S
IA MUJER DE- NEGRO

I'm la pr1n3vera de 1884, mn padre
y mi madre Sc nudaron & una ca sa
de cuatro pisos, en- una calle adya-
Cente & la Quinta Avenida (Nueva
York;
La casa era igual & otras mil cons-
frufdas en- la misma epoca, y contaba
de una sala y un comedor en- Ell pri-
mer piso, y dos cuartos grandes, dos
dormitorios, 6 TN cuarto y baio en-
cada uno de los pisos superiores.
Como yo estaba en- la escuela la
mayor parte del tempo cuando dor
mia en- case Sc me daba uno de los
cuartos del piso alto reservandose ell
del frente para dep6sito de libros.
Ia pieza grande del mismo piso
que daha al fondo, estaba ocupada
por dos slrvientes, que hacfa mas de
uieZ amos que eotaban con su familia.
Apenas nos habiaAaos cambiado de
casa, ambos sirvientes naanifestaron
deseos de cambiar de habifaai6n. me-
gandose al principle 4 dar razoaes
Sc les interrog6 cparadamente y de
clararon que en- ese Cuarto Dian rufdos
curiosos de dfa y de noche, que los
muebles Sc movian misteriosamente
y que podfan eScucharse conversacio-
mes en- voz baja cuyas pala bras no Sc
entendfan. Ninguno de los sirvien-
teS guerra entrar solo al cuarto de no.
che, y manifesto ban que a1lf sentfan
Ia presenc;a de una tercera persona,
no sucediendo 10 mismo en- el resto
de la casa. Sc les concedio fnalmen-
&c que cambiasen de aloiamiento, v
no volvienron aquejarse de NADIA.
T'odo este habia sucedido rnientras
20 me encontraba en- la escuela y
cuando volvl casa para las iestas de
Navidad ignoraba todo al respecto.
FUe despues de haber ocurrido Ell in
cidente que yoy narrar que mi pa
DIRE me informo de las .quejas de los
sirvientes. Hacfa una semana que
dorm{a en- mi pequeflo cuarto, sin que
sucedieSe NADIA extraordinarily, GUAM
do la vispera de af1o nuevo me des-
perte. y la claridad viva de una luz
ihabia apagado la lampara al acostar-
me). vi una muje1 al lado de Ia ven
tana y miranda hacia la calle. Era
alta, delgada. vestida rigurosomente
de negro y con hermosos cabellos de
nm rubio pronunciado. Tenfa las
manos en- las sienes, como para pro.
fejer sus ojos de la luz Y yer me ior
en- la oscuridad, de modo que no aou-
de yer sus facciones.
En- mi casa no habfa persona seme-
sante, y cuando iba hacer TN esfuer-
NO para preguntarle quien era y que
querfa, de proDto me encontre senta :
do en- la CANA rodeado por la mas
alAA IL \
desaparecido.
Salte de la cana, encendi la luz v
mire 4 mi alrededor. Todo estaba
an orden en- ell cuarto y no habfa hue
Has de que nadie hubiera entrado 6
ssalido. Quise persuadirme de que
era un suefio-aungue bien Saba que
no--y regrese q mi cana, metiendo-
me en- ella sin apagar la luz.
A la mafiana siguiente la hora
: del ayuno, conte mis- padres 10 que
me habfa ocurrido, pero ellos Sc rie-
r6n de mis- temores achacandoles 4
d6s6rdenes digestivos. Sin embargo,

YOKOHAMA, June 4-The BRAZILIAN
cruiser Benjamin Constant (2707 tons,
training ship, arrived in Yokohama
on the afternoon of the Bird under COM
mand of Captain F. Comes Pereira.
She has a crew of $780, including 80
officers, and will stay here about one
week, after which the vessel will visit
various Japan ports. During her trip
from Honolulu. which she left on May
9th, the cruiser sighted Wake Island,
a desert isle lying long distance from
nearer approach showed a tattered red
flag flying and as this was naturally
taken as a distress signal the ship
went closer in and saw a party of
japanese making signals. The danger
Gus nature of the coast prevented the
japanese being taken off by boat but
rope was finally passed ashore and
cable way fitted up. The work of
rescue began Immediately but it was
three days before all the men were got
aboard. Ihey numbered twenty ana
We're the survivors of the wreck of
the sailing vessel Toyoshima- maru
which left Tateyama, Boshu, about the
middle of January last for trading in
the southern waters and was reported
missing. 1t appears she encountered
heavy storm which rendered her help
less and carried away the captain and
five of the crew. The ships full com
plement was forty-two and of these
the remaining thirty-six managed to
effect a landing on Wake Island. Very
little food was obtainable and the men
suffered great hardships, disease and
starvation reducing their number by
sixteen. OF the twenty rescued men
two are dangerously i'll.

A MONTH OF "NO" TN TOWN OF
 GREAT HARRINGTON.

A MOlN II UT NV IN " " " VT
 GREAT HARRINGTON.
 "A Month of No-License" IS the title of an article ir last weeks Berkshire e Courier. It has to do with conditions existing in Great Burlington at the present time and the presentation may be accepted as an impartial and truth ful one.
 The article is reproduced here:-
 Great Harrington has now dragged its length along for single month un- der the no-license experiment, which some told us, would surely prove ruin ous to trade and therefore be big high impeachment in the road of progress, while others contended that the money usually turned over the saloon bar would be placed in useful channels of trade or saved, and that there would be noticeable lack of disorder and drunkenness.
 "Those who predicted the need of less police protection prophesied alright, although their prediction carried with it large element of chance. It has been customary in many places which have voted against the open saloon for the eternal habitues of those places to turn out en masse in drunken disord- CT just to show the "dry" folks that booze could still be obtained and to make others who voted no-license change their minds. That has not been the case here. After the closing of the saloons things remained pretty damp around the corners as the result of stocks carried over, but there has been dearth of everything in the fine of wilful disorder for political pur- poses.
 In fact the police agree, the court records show and observation proves that during the month of May the streets have been unusually free from drunken men, both in this village and in Housatonic. It is true, however that April was also a very quiet month in general. due no doubt to the conservative times in which hilarity cost too much to be purchased by many. In the district court during May there was only one case for drunk enness and no cases arising from drunkenness.
 Talks with business men are not con- vincing that any unusual lack of trade has been noticed in general, although conditions have changed and trade may have been shifted. A noticeable fact is that business closes at an earlier hour Saturday evenings, and it is agreed that some business places on Railroad street have not done so much business as before. Otherwise, con- ditions appear to have been. about nor nal for conservative times, although the following statement from E. P. Hunt i & Co.,, with reference to their annual May sale indicates a radical change for the better in their lines:
 The business on the first day, Satur- day last, of this sale almost doubled that of the first day of the sale one year ago. This is the face of what some call hard times, seems to prove our statement made when we adver- tised this sale as the largest stocks, the best assortment, the finest qualities and the greatest values hereabouts.
 That statement IS copied from the firms advertisement in the Courier of last week and is statement of fact made by the company for purely ad- vertising purposes, without intentional reference to no-license conditions. ''
