Phantom F4ounds.

Conan Doyle's Hound NJ the Bas-
kervilles, ''fearsome animal,' Is said
to have its origin in the legends OF
packs Of spectral hounds (which are
popular In various parts d England
and Wales. In the north Vi England
these apparitions are know as ga.
briefs hounds" in Devon The "Wisk,
@Yest' or Heath hounds. in Wales

ally they are only heard AM seem to
be passing swiftly along In The air as
they usually choose cloudy Rights for
the pursuit Of their prey. Their yelp-
ing is said to be terrific, resembling
the note Of a bloodhound. All Of which
tends to show that the origin Of these
legends Of goblin hounds is to be found
in the terrifying noises made by Jocks

What The Press Has to Say Of Roxbury
Mans Candidacy.


The formal announcement Of the cam
didacy Of ex-I4ieut. Gov. Zed s. Stanton,
Of Roxbury, for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor of Vermont occasioned
no surprise. It has been in the air that
he was likely to be a candidate as far
back "a when there was still uncertainty
whether Allen M Fletcher Of Cayendish,
would make the contest. And some men
prone 70 political mathematics had IL
all figured ont that as the third candi
date MIR. Stanton stood very encourag
! ing chance To win, because, said they,
either Mr. Fletcher Of Lieut.. Gov. George
| H. prouty would naturally turn his
votes over to MIR. Stanton rather than
see them 60 to the other Tnis may
have been 80, The messenger will not
| pretend that ii was not, because It does
not know. II has always entertained u
| profound venefation for the awful mys.

that Mr.. Fletcher Is not in the race
and, there i, therefore, no third man

disappointment Of the other two. il
will be '.up' to tne figurers again to
show how Mr.. Stanton is to get ma
jority Of the votes.
While they are doing this The Mes
senger viii say for itself that it en-
tertains a cordially friendly estimate Of
Mr. Stanton's mental qualifications and
his wholesome character as citizen.
His candidacy Is not to be dismissed
ilippantly It may represent something
more than his own ambition for higher
political honors or even the desire Of
friends that ne shall win them. Ii may
be made the rallying point Of various
elements in the state that have been
calling for third candidate or urging
Governor Proctor to run second time.
The Messenger Is frank To say that.
apart from very loyal support that ne
will attach to himself on his own merits,
Mr. stanton Il likely To have some
hackers that are simply opposed to the

HOW TO PATCH GARMENTS.
Success of Work Depends Chiefly
Upon the Material Used.

In the majority of cases the patch
IS sewed on the wrong side Of the
garment, although in serges, merino,
cashmere, and other wooden goods it Is
sometimes hemmed or scanned on the
right side, having the wrong side over
cast. The success of patching de.
ponds upon the patch, which must be
square and which must match, to a
thread, the goods on which it is placed.
Many people suggest raveling some OF
the threads of the material for use,
and this is a good plan if they are
sufficiently strong to be worked up,
but this is often not so, and If this Is
the case thread which matches the
material in quality and color should
be used.
The edges of the patch should be as
fiat as possible. Great care must be
used not to pucker them when sewing.
The finishing touch is to lay a damp
cloth over it on the right side and
press well, making it so smooth as to
be invisible.

who were robbed some days ago was
taken to be used at the trial Of Ned
Boyd, one of the accused who is in
jail The Syrians gave their names
as Rev. Judge Johns, who calls him,
self priest. and Mithrie Jones, his
assistant. Their story was practically
the same as given in a former account.
They again positively identified Boyd
as one of their assailants. The &C
ton of Boyd since in jail has beer
most suspicious. The clothes which
he wore when arrested being very
bloody, were burned by him when they
were given him in jail, and everything
he had has been destroyed, the pris
oner evidently intending to make away
with all evidence against him. The
Syrians could give no description 0
the two other assailants. The strang
ers, after giving their testimony, took
up their work in philosophical spirit
and resumed their tramp.

The "Rotticelli" Hat.

London is going mad over the Dot
ticelli'' hat and certainly for the girl
with a clear-cut Botticelli face, oval
in shape, and framed by thick, heavily
ondule hair, which is parted in the
center, nothing can be more effective.
Let all others beware, however, for the
new hat has a very high crown, an
apology for a brim, and when it is
made of erdigris-colored satin, ar.
ranged like a high and badly draped
hat band of the typical "old clo'," to
which is attached one single inter.
rogatory plume, the effect is the most
startling of recent years.
