with a team of white horses advanc-
ing toward them. They drew aside
and as the coach passed them the two
ladies screamed and fell almost faint
ing in the arms of their companions.
One was the daughter Of the house.
All retired to rest about II o'clock,
some, no doubt, to think over the mys-
terious appearance of the coach, and
others to sleep. Early in the morn
ing telegram, which had been dis
patched too late the previous night for
delivery, came to hand, conveying the
intelligence that the only son of the
house had been drowned while wild
fowling in the Fens.
It was nearly 40 years before that
the coach had last been seen, although
It had been heard to drive up to the
front door and away again down the
avenue in the middle of the night.
On this occasion the head of the fam
lily had died in his sleep the next
night
The Sea Flower, bark of some $50
tons, was, in the early hours of the
twenty-third of June 1854 bound for
Bristol under the command of the
FIRST mate. her captain, John Ellis, hav-
ing been left behind at Kingston suf-
fering from yellow jack" It was
about four bells in the middle watch
Tor 200 a. NO., when the mate, who
was standing near the pinnacle giving
the helmsman his course suddenly be
Of +c7.iO
I'm the waist of the ship. At the same
moment his companion clutched him
by the arm and, pointing, shrieked:
Dye see him, sir?''
Before he could reply the mate be-
came aware that the dark shadow he
had lust before observed had so far
materialized that it bore the appear
ance of Capt Ellis. The figure Of the
captain advanced along the deck and
disappeared slowly down the COM
panion.
Recovering himself, the mate left
the helmsman and hurried down into
the cabin, meeting, just coming out of
it. the second mate, who told him he
had been awakened with start after
dreaming that the captain had come
aboard and was calling him. Both men
then made a complete search of the
saloon and the other cabins, but it is
needless to say without result. Later
it was found that Capt. Ellis had died
between 100 and 200 a. m. in the
morning of June %.
The story got about and the ship OBJ
tanned a reputation for being haunted.
Consequently difficulty was found in
obtaining crews and, in the end, it
was renamed and sold to foreign
firm.

THE SPEED MANIA.
Sensations That Come With a Ride In
Racing Motor.

Racing Motor.
Imagine yourself in a big racing ma
chine plunging over a course at eighty
miles an hour. For the average man
the sensation is awful, but the speed
kings revel il it, Down the road
streaks the car. Lashed into a
typhoon by the appalling speed, the
still air roars in your ears. You think
you will never regain your hearing.
The resistance Of the atmosphere is
fearful The slightest forward move
ment is an effort. Distant objects
loom up suddenly before you and jump
by. The landscape is a streaky line
of green, blotched here and there as a
house is passed. The gale seems to
cut your face, and you feel yourself
being gradually fattened out against
the back of the seat. 1t seems that
the glass in your auto goggles is on
the point Of breaking. Particles Of
dust are driven back in your eyes. You
may become blinded. The vibration
of the engine is terrific. Mysterious
indicators fuctuate alarmingly. It
may mean that the engine is on the
point of exploding. What makes the
floor tremble SO? Surely something
will happen now!
And then you hear explosions boom
ing from the exhausts as the drivers
shut Off" A sharp turn is ahead.
The noise is deafening. The terrific
speed does not seem to have been
checked. The outline of the turn
grows more distinct It is sheer folly
maybe death-to rush at it at such
a pace. You dare not breathe as the
car tears into the bend. 1t skids and
a wall of dirt is thrown up alongside
you as the driver, with a sharp twist
of the wheel, sends the car once more
back in the middle Of the road. You
are safe-until another turn is encoun-

The Vital Question.

New York club women considered a
resolution that the woman's page in
the papers had too much about FASH
ions and complexion care, but they
found a difference of opinion when the
matter came up for discussion. If
some of those women could know
how many of their sisters write per-
sonal letters to the editors of such
columns for more information on such
subjects they would forever cease to
discuss the subject. The few women
may be in high-brow class where the
complexion and dress seem of little
account, but to the great mass of
them, judging from the number of let.

What can I do to make myself more

In the Illinois primary election
held last week the regular" repub-
lican nominees for congress were
successful in % out Of the % dis
tricts, only three insurgents being
winners. Boutelle was defeated in
the 9Th Chicago district, but Foss,
against whom a determined insur-

Speaker Cannon was renominated

was chosen by coalition of republi-

deadlock of several months, in

maries was turned down, were

ton. Lee O'Neil Brown, democrat,
was one of these. In his first trial
for bribery the jury disagreed, and
IN the second trial he was acquitted,
just few days before his renomin-
alton at the primaries. In spite of
these 'vindications" the evidence
against him and the charges of jury
fixing have been of such a char

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

For the first time in thirty years
the election in Maine last week re-
suited in the choosing of a Demo
cratic governor and Democratic
majority in both branches of the
legislature, which will mean a
Democratic u. S. Senator to succeed
Senator Hale. A number of causes
have contributed to this result. One
is the drastic enforcement of the
prOhibitory law by the party in
power (the Republicans, and an
other is the fact that the opposing
factions of the Republican party
have given more time and effort to
fighting each other than to the de-
Tending of Republican principals or
supporting Repu blican candidates.
The present high cost of living is
blamed to the new tariff law, not
wlthstanding there is little real rea-
son for such contention, and Sena-
tor Hale was one Of the most earnest
supporters of that measure, which
accounts for much Of the opposition
that was aimed at him. It has been
the history Of all tariff legislation
that in the state elections first fol
lowing the enactment of a tariff
law, the dominant party has suf-
Tered more or less serious reverses
at the polls We all remember that
aftel the Mckinley tariff bill be-
came a law, VIM. Mckinley, it's
author, was defeated for a re. cleo
ton to congress. and that fact. had
much to do with bringing him out
as candidate for president. later.
The passage of the Wilson Cor
man low tariff law, under the Cleve-
land administration, was followed
at the next election by wholesale
defeat OF Democratic congressman
and the election of Republicans in
their places.
IL has been common saving for
many years that "As goes Maine, so
goes the Union" It has also been
frequently asserted that when the
Republican majority in the Septem
Der election is less than 10000 Re
publican. it means Democratic
victory tn OughOut the Nation in
November This does not always
prove true, however, as Maine went
Republican two years ago by only
1000 and yet the country gave Taft
aDdlthe Republican ticket tremen-
dOus majority in November.
The result in Maine last week
may cause the question to be seri-
OUsly considered in other states as
TO what Democratic victory will
mean this fall If it promises better
conditions, an increased expectancy
for the future, more work and as
good wages as now prevail, then
there should be no general regret
even if Names example is followed
IN other states but election results
which Indicate resentment rather
than serious affirmative desires are
not glad tidings even though they
cause great joy to the victorious
candidates and their fellow par
t1saus.
L. is more to be hoped that the
Democratic victory in Maine may
have the effect of SOLDERING and
solidifying contendlng Republican
factions In other states, and it may
cause a serious view to be taken of
the possibilities of a general Demo
cratic victory. But if it is to come,
we as Republicans feel that it would
be more desirable to have it in 1910
than two years from now.
