GHOSTS OF OLD TRINITY.
How the Wind Peoples Graveyard
With Paper Wraiths o. Nights.

From the New York Sun.
The ghosts in Trinity churchy ard stir
on gusty nights. If one stands before
the iron palings of the fence and looks
across the dark graveyard TO the black
skeleton of the elevated structure he sees
them on these nights of squalls skipping
from stone 10 stone. nodding from the
blackness of the shrubs and winsing their
way eerily up into the buttressed shadow
blocks of the church.
Occasionally a lusty wind will come
tumbling up Rector street and high aloft
along the dark sides of the Empire build
ing a newcoming ghost will wave and
flop, settling, soaring and scattering from
window sill to window sill until on tan
gent course II sails over to settle among
the headstones. Often ghost Will rise
from the ranks of the stones. leap the
fence and go galloping with the wind
down into the canyon or Wall street.
Some of the thin. spdery ghosts roost
in the branches of the trees and send out
fiuttering fingers that search the winds,
finding nothing.
These restless spirits that whisper
through the aisles OF stones and fly where
darkness shields are only the discarded
waits of the city's streets after all-news-
papers and tangled skeins of ticker tape
snatched by the wind from ash can and
gutter where they were thrown.
Because the churchyard is hedged about
by piles of stone and brick II is the gath
ering place of the vagabonds. Every wind
Of the four leaves its freight there. Until
the sections men can come around in the
morning and clean up the old graveyard
remains the trysting place of these home

FOR EASY COOKING.
Vapor Stove Handy for Use in
Apartments or Sick Rooms.

Many are the uses to which the vapor
stove designed by two Connecticut men
can be put. In apartments or sick rooms
it is particularly convenient, but there are
hundred and one other ways in which
it can be utilized. This stove consists of
a stand with a hollow space for holding
the alcohol which supplies the heating
power. A globular receptacle connected
with the stand by a curved pipe and

either low or strong. This stove can be
used for hours at one filing. and is both
handy and cheap. There is no wick to
trim and no wasted fuel. When not in
use the flame is shut off and the supply
Of alcohol remains for another lighting
On top of the stand are little supports to
hold the chafing dish. saucepan or what
ever receptacle is used to cook with.

 Arizona Republican: The recent breaking of the Bluewater dam in New Mexico, releasing the flood that washed out the Santa Fe lines east of Gallup, is of greater local interest here than from the mere de- touring of trains via Phoenix. The Bluewater dam was the reservoir on which large colony of agricul- turists in New Mexico was depend ing for water, the colony being headed by c. R. flakes, formerly the president of the Mesa city stake of the Mormon church. When Mr. flakes went to New Mexico a few years ago quite a number of Mesa city people went with him. Though no definite news has been learned, it is supposed that many of these settlers have been badly damaged, perhaps have lost their all and, anyhow. have lost their water SUD- ply.
 l Graham Guardian: Burt Hunt ginger came near meeting with a serious accident Sunday evening. When moving from the house he occupied, he put four boxes of car tridges in the oven of their stove which was placed in a covered wagon preparatory to going to the mountains for an outing. Sunday evening the fire was lighted to pre- pare supper, and when the stove got nicely heated the cartridges began to explode. They blew the oven door open, and blew severa holes through the oven, and were soon shooting in every direction in the wagon. Mir. Huntzinger made an effort to get them out of the oven, and in doing so was hit under the arm, cutting an ugly gasl about an inch long. He went tC Pima where Dr. Dryden dressed the wound, after taking out a gooC sized piece of glass and a piece O cloth from his shirt.
