DOUBLE MURDER.

Lambertville, N. j., Feb. S.-Joseph
Douty, colored, 80 years old, and
Eva, his 25-year-old wife, were
found murdered in the field adjoin-
ing their home, on the outskirts of
Lambertville, yesterday morning. The
bodies were found by neighbor, the
young woman with her head shot al
most entirely away, and a shotgun
lying alongside her, and Douty a
few! PAGES distant. face downward,
with an axe between them. The
house was open and the furniture in
great disorder, tables and chairs
thrown about and lamps and dishes
broken, indicating furious fight,
eliminating in the killing outside.
When the alarm was given and the
authorities went to the place, they
were unable to get in the house be-
cause of a ferocious dog which stood
guard.
Nieghbors advance the theory that
Douty had considerable money in
the house, the fruits of frugal saw
ings.

KAISER SEES GHOST.

j Mysterious "White Lady of the no
henzollerns," Influences Wilhelm.
u Does the "White Lady of the Ho- !,
henzollerns," mysterious ghost OF
a yelled woman, hover over the
kaiser and direct his hand in the !
world war? This question is being
asked on all sides, following the
story just carried to London by re-
sponsible persons from Berlin, that
the "White Lady," ghost that for
500 years has been an omen of trag-
edy to the royal house of Prussia,
visited the kaiser three times before
the war and gave him warnings of
the approaching conflict!
No one knows the ghost; no one
except the kaiser, it is said, has seen
her. Her movements and cause for
her existence are shrouded in mys-
terry.
The mysterious ghost first ap-
peared to the kaiser when he was
alone in his chamber at midnight, !
late in June, 1914. The sight of the
White Lady almost paralyzed him
with fright. With shrek, the !
kaiser drew back and shielded the
apparition from his eyes. AS the
ghost remained fixed in silence, the
kaiser jumped to his feet, drew forth /,
his service revolver and was about
to shoot, when the White Lady dis
appeared. Guards, who had heard the
cry, rushed into the chamber and
found the kaiser on the floor in a
faint, his arm still over his eyes.
No zone knew what caused the
kaiser's mishap until the story
leaked out two years, later. With it
went the stories of the two later
visits of the white Lady to the
kaiser. The White Lady's' second
appearance was by day, in July, 1914,
when the kaiser was in his art gal
lery at Berlin, nervous and excited
over the. international situation that
was becoming more serious day by
day.
Her appearance .paralyzed every
muscle in the kaiser's body. All he
could do was gaze wild-eyed and
dumb at her as she walked up to
him, with a warning look in her
eyes, passed him and disappeared.
AS soon as the White Lady was
gone, the kaiser found his senses and
uttered weird cry that brought the
servants to him in a hurry. He or
dered them off and went to his room.
EThe third appearance of the white
Lady the report is, happened in a
forest, while the kaiser was hunting.
1t was a few days before the war,
and the kaiser had sought y short
Test from exciting day and night
SvigiIs over the war situation. The
Ykaiser'ss attendants were riding be-
! side him, when they suddenly saw
The kaiser jump back with fright and
were just in time to catch him as
he fell from the saddle. They had
Z seen or heard nothing.
1t was the white Lady again!
For the third time she had tried to
warn the kaiser of the coming trag-
edy:. This time, the story is, she ap-
peared before him and blew horn
when sthe kaiser jumped back with
fright. She disappeared immediate
ly. But the warnings of the White
Lady of the Hohenzollerns' were in
vain. A few days after her third
appearance, the war began and now
the question uppermost in high cir
Giles in Berlin to<ay is whether the
White Lady is still directing the
kaiser's hand over the tragedy which
she tried to prevent.

Hen Made Good.

The telegraph messenger at Ashland.
Ky, Gerald Tharp, says the Western
Union News. is familiar with the prin-
ciple embodied In Ebert Hubbard's
story, "a Message to Garcia" although
this will probably be his first intima-
ton that such story was ever writ
ten.
A local confectiOner called for mes
senger TO go out to a farmhouse for
two dozen eggs. Gerald was detailed
for the errand, which ordinarily would
consume thirty minutes. At the end
of three hours he returned with the
eggs, and was promptly called on the
carpet by the manager to explain his
long absence from the Office. In round
Irish brogue Gerald explained that the
farmer had only twenty-three eggs, and
he had waited two and one-half hours
for a Plymouth Rock hen to lay the
other egg.

NOT HIS KIND OF A CANNON

One of the admiral's favorite selec-
lions was a duet, called in musical par
lance canon, where one voice is an

throughout the piece. He seemed par

caoon was sung and would unfaiiing-
