COLLINS ABROAD TONIGHT.
Wit chcs and Ghosts Are Said to Fit
on HallOwe'cn

Many of the younger generation
will start out upon Its saturnalia OF
fun and frolic tonight. There will be
weird and wild happenings; goblins
will stalk stealthily about, witches
will swoop down with brooms and
ghots, skeletons and masqueraders
will rouse the town.
This is the night of all nights when
supernatural influences are supposed
to prevail.
The boys and girls continue to be-
lieve, or make believe. that there is
such thing as ghost; the youth
and maiden are still guided by the
light of the phantasmaforia; the
spinster is prone to put her faith in
spectral apparitions.
The police have forbidden any unto
ward tributes being paid to those
things which love darkness and con-
cealment and come forth only on this
night of nights, to dwell in the world
of reality; but in doors there will be
many kinds of "doings," for the
shelves of the stationery and confec-
tionery shops have been shorn of
things which suggest All Hallows'
Eve
Little fol xviii "bob' for apples,
ana hear recited by older lips tales Of
the witches that ride on brooms DER
crescent moon, with d brush in her
hand to sweep the cobwebs from the
sky And on the straw of the broom
will be cats that emit weird news.
The little folks that hear will be as
sured of the truth of the tales when
beans crack against windows like the
crack of brush on the sky, and when
a denizen of the back yards protests,
against the undue caresses Of friend
ly feline.
Apples too. will be used by the youth
and maiden, who "are just at that age
But it would be undignified to have
these apples in lowly tubs. They must
needs be suspendei. from the chande-
lier OF the door frame. The youth
will Try to bite one of iue rosy cheeks
of the apple. The maiden will try to
bite the other cheek.
The police will be on the lookout for
practical jokers and such as take
pleasure in defacing property or an
noy people tonight.
Tie throwing of flour, the remov-
ing of signs, the use of tictacks.
putty blowers, and other indignites
have been particularly frownel upon
and all will constitute violation of
the regulation for Halloween.

plan us in reality central bank plan.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

After having been in a grave for
nearly nine years the body of Patrick
Dugan was Yesterday found to have
become completely petrified. Its
weight was estimated at more than
900 pounds. 1t required the combined
efforts of four men to raise The body
from the grave in st. Vincent's Gem
etery, Baltimore. As many men had
all they could do to lower the body in
"a grave at Holy Redeemer Cemetery,
to which it was transferred. When
taken up, the name plate and handles
still shone as they had when it was
lowered into the ground. The casket
top was raised, and the laborers
around STEPPED back and gasped IN
amazement. The body seemed to be
alive, with clothes ani all covered
with u fine gray dust. The face
and hands showed a light gray, while
the clothes were several shades dark
er. The petrification had spread to
some part of the silken lining of the
casket which touched the body.

I shown no preference over the Virginia
volunteers in case it becomes neces-
sary to pour troops into Mexico.
"The Virginia militiamen are as
well equipped, disciplined, drilled and
efficient as the National guard of any
