s PERFORMED
 BY WILD MAN Adirondack Community in Verita- bIe Reign of Terror Over
 Mystery Man.
POSSES HUNT IN VAIN
State constabuiary Scour the Woods in Search of His Hiding Place, but Fall to Solve the Mystery
 Appears Daily.

Malone, N. Y.-For several weeks . veritable reign of terror has existed among the people of that part of this country, called the 'back woods, " which rejoices in the euphonious name of Skerry. Women sleep ill O nights, children are kept from school, or guarded by adults on their way there and back, lonely females cover be- hind locked doors and men wag their heads in gossip as they ponder over the puzzle of the wild man. cause of all the bother.
 That there is Wild man inhabit' ing the woods, appearing and disap- bearing strangely in the more settled districts, apparently content with waving a big club and threatening children, seems beyond dispute. For has he not been seen over and over again by women and children, some times clothed only in the garb Of Adam and sometimes wearing gunny sack? And always he is way. ing that big clubj.
 Search in Vain.
 The puzzle of the masculine popula- tion of Skerfy is to find his hiding place, for he has proved veritable will-o-the-wisp. It is generally con- ceded that it must be in a big swamp on the Deer river, which is peculiarly suitable setting for modern Tarzan; but this belief Is due to the fact that he has not been found elsewhere rather than to any evidence akin to proof. Posses have been organized and search of the woods made, and the state constabulary of this village have been called upon in vain to solve the mystery.
 This man appeared in Skerry about the middle of last month. He was an Irishman, was lame, and clothed in overalls, without coat or hat. He in- quired of Abe Patton and. later, of Charles Trin, both Skerryites, the way to q lumber camp, aAd received from each minute directions to guide him. No one has ever met him since,

THE LAKE OF STARS.

WHEN all Is lovely on the lake, w No night-winds rudely pass,
 Not even gentle breezes break The waters perfect glass, Afoat, alone, from your canoe Look down and you will see Reflected there the sky of blue And all its canopy. You will behold thousand lights Now near that were afar, For only thus on perfect nights The lake receives the star, Seen only thus when perfect peace Is on the quiet tide, When all the winds that wander ceas And earth Is satisfied. But, if a breeze shall venture here, Some tiny tempest blow, Your lake of stars will disappear And all he dark below. They a1e not plotted from the skies By just a moments care o ye discouraged, lift your eyes, For still the stars are there!

recalled, also bore very remarkable physical likeness to- another of his brothers, who was said to have closely resembled the deceased infant in his youth. Shocked and stunned by an inexplicable mutual recognition, the tention, and without making any move ment or sign, until the swaying, jam ming crowd had separated them-per- haps forever. From that day to this, MT. Davies has spent an h,s time in a systematic search for his Eeincarnated brother, and in a scientific study of occult phenomena that may throw light upon his quest
 Believes in Soul Transmioration.
 He is convinced absolutely of the basic truth of the doctrine of the trans migration of souls after death, and claims to have developed, through logical and scientific methods, theory that can be, and indeed has been, he says, proved objectively and demon- strated. If he actually succeeds in finding his brother who was dead and is alive again, his theory will have re- ceived very startling confirmation.
 According to this theory, his brother Is in his present incarnation of Anglo Saxon or, Celtic race, born within a week of July p, 1895, now being in modest circumstances, and devOting his life tO the good of hfS felIOyymap I'D all persons who seem to fit this de- scription (and there are probably a great many) MT. Davies proposes to put certain psychological tests which will immediately demonstrate the pos sibility or impossibility of there being an actual ego-affinity in each particular instance.

New York Man Is Convinced That He Recently Saw Relative

 Twenty-six years ago Reid Davies and his brother, aged seven and five respectively, lay i'll of the same sick ness. One day Reid heard a voice, which he described as having sounded like "the voice of Christ on the cross," |" calling "Go to Roy, mamma, he wants you" He cried out, his mother came in haste, and they found his brother dead. Since that time Reid has con. tinually felt the spirit of his younger playmate to be closely bound to his own, through some quite definite but mysterious ties. His dead brother, he declares, has been the most powerful influence that has ever been exerted over his life.

 Two years ago this feeling of com munion with the departed gathered wonderful strength in the mind and soul of Reid Davies. Some mighty force seemed to have taken possession of all his faculties, bending them whither 1t would, regardless of his will. While in this condition he found himself one day looking steadfastly into the eyes of a stranger iR the sub way, and in them recognizing unmis. takably tile spirit, or ego, of his lost brother.

COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The cotton market
was strong and excited during todays early
trading. The census report issued at the
opening showed ginning of 2,907,95O bales
pior to September %, which was regarded
by local traders very heavy compared
with recent private estimates of the crop.
Many reports have been received, however
indicating that an unusually large proportion
of the crop had been picked before The
end of last month, and the figures evidently
failed to disturb confidence in very bullish
government figures. Buying en- that expec-
tation was stimulated by higher Liverpool
cables and reports of unfavorable weather
in the south, and after opening firm at an
advance of % to 81 points, active months
soon sold 100 to 115 points net higher, with
December touching 21.70c, compared with
1S.5Gc, the lowest level touched on the
reactions of last month.
December sold up to 81 95c just before the
crop report issued, with active months
generally showing net advances of 127 to
100 points. This evidently reflected buying
in anticipation of a condition figure of be-
low 40, and when the official report was
issued, placing the condition. at 1922 and
the indicated crop Mt 6,537, 600 bales, there
was a rush of general excited lquida ton.
For time the market was absolutely over
whelmed by offerings and inside of ten min
utes prices broke 1875 t. 100 points from
the best, with December selling off to
20.05c. At this level, however, the market
was steadied by. trade buying and later raj
lied 80 or so points from the lowest on
