No one liad passed up or down stairs, and every door and window was fastened. Later on my husband told me exactly what had happened.

While searching among his papers he raised his head from them and saw, just within his doorway, a little old lady standing. She was mute, her. eyes fixed upon his with a soft, sweet expression, the face very pallid. Addressing her and receiving no reply, my husband approached her, when she moved gradually and softly away. He made a quick step toward her, when, lo! she was gone.

The gas was giving a full blaze of light, so that his eyes could not have been deceived." A remarkable story of a haunted house is told by Miss R. C. Morton, an English woman of scientific training. The mansion concerned in a typical modern residence, square and commonplace. It was built in 180T).

and bought by Mr. an Anglo-Indian. He lost his wife, took to drinking and married again. His second wife, who married him to reform him, also took to drinking, and there were constant quarrels. Mr.

iS. died, and the house was sold. Soon after this event the haunting seems to have begun. An old job gardener said that he frequently saw the figure -of a tall lady in the garden. The house at that time was let to Captain Morton, who had a wife and four daughters.

The daughter who tells the story says that one night while preparing for bed she heard some one at the door. She opened the door and saw the figure of a tall lady dressed in black standing at the head of the stairs. The face was hidden in a handkerchief held in the right hand. The figure was in widow's weeds. On December 18, 1SS3, the figure was seen by a young brother of Miss Morton and another little boy.

They were playing outside on the terrace, when they saw a lady in the drawing room close to the window, and rau in to see who it was that was crying so bitterly. They found no one. "The first time I spoke to the mysterious lady," says Miss Morton, was on January 1S84. She came into the drawing room, walked to the sofa and stood there. I went up to her and asked her if I could help her.

I thought she was going to speak, but she only gave a slight gasp and moved toward the door. She walked out into the ball and all at once disappeared. On other occasions 1 attempted to touch her, but she always eluded me. Itwas not thatthere was nothing 'to touch, but that she always seemed to be beyond me, and if I followed her into a corner, simply disappeared. During two years the only noises I heard were those of slight pushes against my bed room door, accompanied by footsteps; and if I looked out on hearing these sounds I invariably saw the figure.

The cook tola me that she had seen a strange figure on the stairs one night. She described it as a lady in widow's dress, tall and slight, with her face hidden in a handkerchief held in her right hand. "One day a neighbor, General who lived opjjosite, sent his son over to make inquiry, as he had seen a lady crying in our orchard which is visible from the road. He described her afterwards to us as a lady in black, with a txinuet and a long veil, holding her handkerchief up to her face. On an evening in August we were sitting in the drawing room with the gas lit, and my eldest sister and myself both saw the figure on the balcony outside looking in at the window.

She stood there some minutes, than walked to the end and back again, after which she seemed to disappear. On the following evening my sister was singing in the back drawing room. I heard her stop abruptly and call me. She said she had seen the figure in the drawing Mnra, doxe behind her as she sat at the piano. I went back into the room with her and saw the figure in the bow window.

She stood there for ten minutes and then went across the room to the door and along the passage, disappearing by the garden door. My sister M. then came in from the garden, saying she had seen her come up the kitchen steps outside. My mother said that the saw her pass out across the lawn in front. This evening, then, four people saw her.

"Many remarkable sounds were heard from time to time," says Miss Morton. "There were bumps against the doors of the bed rooms and the handles of doors were turned. The bamps were so marked as to terrify a new servant, who imagined that burglars were breaking into her room. For a long time I kept a photographic camera constantly ready to try to photograph the figure, but, though I tried it repeatedly, I got no results. At night, usually by candle light, a long exposure would be necessary for so dark a figure, and this I could not obtain.

I also tried to communicate with the figure, but with no result. I attempted repeatedly to touch it, but did not succeed. On one occasion our charwoman saw the figure while waiting in the hall leading to the kitchen stairs. Until it suddenly vanished from her sit'ht, as no real figure could have done, she thought it was lady visitor. Up to about 1HK; it was so solid and lifelike that it was often mistaken for a real person.

It gradually became less distinct from that time on. At all times it intercepted the light. Several times 1 fastened fine strings across the stairs at various heights before going to bed, but after all otliers had gone up to their rooms. Twice I saw the figure pass through the cords, leaving them intact. Repeatedly I followed it into a corner and tried to touch it.

We have strong reason for believing that the apparition was seen by two dogs, which exhibited signs of terror otherwise unaccountable." Miss IMorton's account is indorsed by six members of her family, who relate experiences wholly similar. ea EH El a S3 3 a LT3 EV1 El a El a Ll E3 of the nursery, which is at one end of a passage, and she saw the black lady standing in the doorway of the room at the opposite end. She was much frightened. When some one came, the woman had disappeared. To the other child she appeared sitting in a chair in her room which my sister had just entered.

iMy mother saw the ghost twice on the stairs. One of my sisters and myself saw her at the same time one evening. Another time I was sitting in my sister's room, when I saw on the ceiling the shadow of a head and a hand that appeared as if it had only two fingers. Thinking it was my sister's shadow, I thought what a curious shadow her knitting made, and looking around to see what she was doing with it. On looking up the reflection was gone.

We then found that both our shadows were on the floor." Another sister relates: "On one occasion I saw the figure advancing toward me from the opposite end of a long room; she was tall, dark and pale, dressed in black. She came swiftly toward me, and was so distinct that I supposed it was some stranger. Suddenly she disappeared perpendicularly, like one who falls through a trap-door." Further testimony relating to this very interesting ghost is obtained from a nurse in the family, who writes: "About four years ago I came here to nurse a little girl 5 years of age, who was sick. It was about I A. when the child, who bad been sleeping quietly, sat up, gave one piercing scream, and then hid her face in the bed clothes.

I saw nothing, but I heard sounds on the stairs, as if somebody was going down with boots on. Opening the door, I looked out. All was quiet; the gas was burning on the lower landing. By its light I saw a woman standing at the foot of the stairs. Her face was turned up toward me.

It was perfectly colorless, and the eyes and mouth were closed. It resembled the face of a corps. Presently it disappeared." The next ghost story comes through the Rev. C. C.

Starbuck, of Andover, who got it from Mr. Richard Hill, a gentleman of eminent character, privy councilor of the Island of Jamaica, and distinguished as -a naturalist. Mr Hill, about 1840, took a house in Spanishtown, the capital of Jamaica; it was a brick house, and was thought to have been built before 1(555. Mr. Hill was a bachelor, and his sister, Mrs.

Harrison, kept house for him. One night he was lying bed awake, when he saw the door open, and a woman entered the room, crossing the floor to the window, and stood there. He supposed it to be Ann, his sister's servant. Presently she turned and went out, returning no answer when he spoke to her. The next morning he learned that it was not Ann.

Some time later the same figure appeared at the foot of the bed, looking fixedly at him. When he asked who she was, she turned and went out. She wore a garb which was in use in the colony in the reign of George I. about 115 years earlier. One day Mrs.

Harrison was receiving a visit from a lady in the drawing room, which on one side opened on a veranda. Suddenly the ladies, looking up. saw the strange woman passing the window. They went out to look for her. but she had disappeared.

The owner of the house, on being interrogated by Mr. Hill, confessed that the strange figure had been seen very often before Mr. Hill's tenancy began. One of the most grewsome apparitions was that which presented itself to Mrs. the reputable landlady of a Ixmdon lods-irtg house.

She says: "I same into this henpe in September. 1S7. One night I saw a faint greenish light, ns from a 11 a me that I could not see, coining up the Flairs and disappeared into the room of one of my lodgers. Another nijrht it was in November I woke up with a feeling that some one was in the room. I had my face to the wall, but I turned around and saw between the bed and wall, just opposite to me, the figure of a woman apparently about 50, with dark hair and eyes, a red dress and a mob cap.

I looked at her and asked her what she wanted. She bent her head slowly back and I saw what I thought at first was a very wide mouth. Thin I saw that her throat was cut. I was frightened, the perspiration came out on me like peas, and 1 called out to her in the name of the Father, the Son, and tse Holy Ghost to go away. She did not stir, however, and I remained looking at her by the light of the two candles in the room.

At length she vanished blowly like a shadow." A very remarkable haunted house is located at No. 15 St. Swithin's lane, London. An account of some phenomena witnessed there has been furnished by and Miss Vntas-Simpson. The latter says: "I remember well, when a little girl, an old lady who proved the greatest trouble we children had.

One day I was sitting on a post on the banisters when 1 saw the old lady walk across the landing. This surprised me, because there wus a grate across the stairs shutting off the upper part of the house from the lower, and I saw that it bad not been opened. Having seen the old lady disappear into a room, I followed her, but she was not there. A few days later we were playing, my little brother and I in our play room, when suddenly we saw the old lady just inside the half-opened door, dressed as she was before black shabby dress, large bonnet, and a good deal of velvet on her mantle. Presently she disappeared in an unaccountable way." Mrs.

Vastas-Simpson kept a record of her experience in diary, from which the following extract is made: "Very often a babe is heard wailing and crying in the kitchen. We heard these wailings when we first came here to live, and imagined that a babe was really within hearing; but when, after the lapse of many months, the sounds were still those of a new-born infant, we began to wonder. Then again, close to my bedroom door, in a recess, there are notes of the most mournful singing, soft and ad, but clear and thrilling. Presently the notes are prolonged, and change into short, sharp screams of agony." Later on Mrs. Simpson writes: "My husband for several evenings has been devoting his leisure to writing.

His orders were peremptory to allow nobody to disturb him. One night there was a great tramping on the floor; the door of my husband's office was thrown open with violence. My husband in angry tones called to the servant and demanded 'how they dared permit a stranger to come in at that time of The Spirits of People Seen Immediately After Death. TAKEN UP BY SCIENCE A Class of Apparitions Indorsed by Plenty of Evidence 'Stories Gathered, With Authentic Testimony, by the Society. St.

Louis Globe-Democrat. The question of the ghost as to whether or not there is such a thing as a human phantom is still undecided after 5.000 years of discussion. Doubtless it goes back to the days of the cave men, who may be presumed to have been ardent believers in apparitions. Modern thought is disposed to reject them altogether, but the subject can not be dismissed so lightly. On the contrary, it has obtained of late a particularly acute interest, science having taken it up in serious earnest.

If there are actually such phantasms, it seems likely that something definite will be discovered before long as to their habits and mode of being. Iu a word, something will be ascertained as to what is behind the phenomena of spectral manifestations. Some of the most interesting facts gathered by the Society of Psychical Research in England and the United States relate to so-calied "death-warrants" i. specters which appear at a distance to relatives or friends at the moment, or near it, when the person who is the original of the phantom is dying. There are few families in which some tradition of such an occurrence is not accepted as fact.

In many cases where death-wraiths are concerned the dress forms a noticeable and important part of the apparition. The phantom appears in the costume which the dying person actually wore at death, and in some cases, where a violent end has inflicted scars or mutilation, there also appear in the phantasm. There is a well-au-thentieated story of Miss Maningham, a young English woman, who went many years ago to a concert in London. She was suddenly seized with illness and had to be taken home. For a long time she was unwilling to say what was the cause of her indisposition, but at length she confessed that on arriving at the concert hall, she had been terrified by a horrible vision.

It seemed to her that a naked corpse was lying on the floor at her feet. The features of the face were partly covered by a cloth mantle, but enough was apparent to convince her that the body was that of Sir J. Y. On the following day tidings were received that Sir J. Y.

had been drowned in Southhampton river the night before by the oversetting of his boat, the body being afterward found entangled in a boat-cloak and otherwise naked. First-hand stories of such "death-wraiths'' are much more valuable obviously than hearsay ones. Of this order is an account contributed by Dr. Rowland Bow-stead, of Caistor, England. "In September, 1S47," he says, "I was playing cricket and took the place of long field.

A ball was driven in my direction, which I missed and it rolled toward a low hedge. I and another lad ran after it. When I got near the hedge I saw the apparition of my brother-in-law over the hedge, dressed in a shooting suit, with a gun on his arm. He smiled and waved his hand at me. I called the attention of the other boy to it, but he could not see it.

When I looked again, the figure had vanished. I went to my uncle and told him what I had seen. He took out his watch and noted the time, just 12:50 o'clock. Two days later I received a letter from my father informing me of the death of my brother-in-law, which took place at 12:50 exactly on the day when I saw the vision. On that day he had gone out shooting, and wore the costume in which I saw him." A lady, who withholds her name, communicates to the society an incident that occurred November 2, 1S7G.

She says: "I had just arrived at my brother's house, and at about 12 P. M. I went to my room. I found I had left something I wanted down in the hall, and so I went downstairs to get it. Ou returning and entering the corridor in which my room was, I saw, standing beyond my doorway, a figure.

It looked misty, as if, had there been a light behind it, I should have seen through the mist. This misty figure was the likeness of a friend of ours whom I knew to be on a voyage to Australia. I stood and looked at it, and presently it passed away. Next day I told my sister-in-law what I had seen. On returning to my own home three weeks later my mother showed me an account in a newspaper of our poor friend's body having been cast ashore and buried as an unknown castaway at the very time that I saw his figure.

We were the only friends he had in England." A Mrs. Clark, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, contributes an account of the apparition of a young gentleman who has asked her to marry him. She married somebody else, however, and in the course of time a baby was born. When the infant was about a week old, early one morning, Mrs. Clark was feeding her when she felt a cold waft of air through the room and a sensation as if some one touched her shoulder.

Her hair seemed to bristle all over her head and she shuddered. Raising her eyes to the door she saw the young Akhurst standing in his shirt and trousers, looking at her. Presently lie seemed to pass through the door and disappear. Some weeks later news arrived of Mr. Akhurst's dealh, which, it appeared, had occurred on the day and at the very hour when the vision appeared to Mrs.

Clark. He was found dead on his bed, with his shirt and trousers on. Mrs. George T. ITaly contributes a story of an apparition which she saw in full day light.

She says: "I was lying in bed when I saw, like a shadowy a very long coffin stretching quite across the ceiling of my room. I lay gazing at it, when suddenly my eyes fell upon a shadowy figure of my absent nephew. He had his back toward me and was searching apparently in my book-shelf. The next post brought the news of his death in Australia. He was feet 2 or 3 inches in height, and a book had been my last present to him on his leaving England, taken from that very bookcase." Mr.

Robert Raywinson, of Cheltenham, England, contributes a peculiar experience of his own. He was dressing one morning in December, 1881, when a feeling came over that somebody was in the room, lie looked around and saw no one. But then, instantaneously, a figure appeared before him having the face and form of his old friend, William Stanley, of Ponsonby Hall, Cumberland. It disappeared presently and Mr. Rawlinson went at once to his wife's room and told her what bad occurred, at the same time stating that he feared William Stanley must be dead" Next morning he received a letter from George Stanley, brother of William, saying that William had died at 8:45 o'clock that morning.

This was the very time of friend's house, and, sitting on the veranda after dinner with the other guests, in conversation, I all at once distinctly saw before me an open coffin, with a favorite sister of mine, then in England, lying in it. Though believing it to be a mere hallucination, I made a note of the circumstance and the date. In the following May I received a letter from home announcing my sister's death as having taken place on that very day, March 24." The next account is furnished by Mrs. Elizabeth Broughton, of Edinburgh. She says: "One night, in 1S.53, I roused my husband, telling him that something dreadful had happened in France.

He told to go to sleep again, but I assured him that I had seen something frightful, which was not a dream, inasmuch as I had not been asleep at the time. First I saw a broken carriage, a crowd collect, a figure raised and carried into the nearest house, and then a figure lying on a bed, which I recognized as the Duke of Orleans. I saw friends collecting around the bed, among them several members of the royal family, all tearfully watching the evidently dying duke. One man, obviously a doctor, stood bending over the bed. feeling the pulse of the patient.

Then all passed away, and I saw no more. As soon as it was daylight I wrote down in my journal all that I had seen. It was before the days of the electric telegraph, and forty -eight hours passed before the Times anounced the death of the Duke of Orleans by an accident exactly similar to that whose details I had witnessed." The modern theory of apparitions recognized not only ghosts of dead people, but phautoms of living persons, which under certain conditions are projected to a distance, appearing to others. Usually some danger to the individual seems to be connected with the phenomenon. An instance of this sort is furnished by Rvv.

Canon Warburton, of Winchester. He says: "In lStS 1 went up from Oxford to stay a day or two with my brother, then a barrister living at No. 10 Fish street, Lincoln's Inn. When I got to his chambers I found a note on the table apologizing for his absence and raving that he had gone to a dance somewhere in the Wet End. and intended to be home soon after 1 o'clock.

Instead of going to bed, I dozed in an armshair, but started up, wide awake, exactly at 1. ejaculating, 'By Jove, he's No longer asleep, a strange scene was vividly presented to my eye. I saw my brother come out of a drawing room into a brightly illuminated landing, catching his foot in the edge of the top stair, falling headlong, and just saving himself by the elbows and hands. The house was one which I had never seen, nor did I know where it was. Half an hour later my brother came in and said: 'Oh, there you are! I have just had a narrow escape of breaking my neck.

Coming out of the ball room I caught my foot and tumbled full length down the In her "Memoirs" Georgiana, Lady Chnt-terton, tells of the appearance of the phantasms of a living person. She says: "My mother had not been very well, but there was nothing alarming in her condition. I went to bed early one night, leaving her in the drawing room in excellent spirits. I slept unusually well, and when I awoke the moon was shining brightly into the room. On the white curtains of my bed I saw.

as if depicted there, the figure of my mother the face deadly pale, with blood flowing on the bed clothes. For a moment I lay horror-stricken, until, thinking It might be a dream, I raised myself up and touched the curtain. Still the appearance remained, as if reflected by a magic lantern, though the curtain on which it was depicted moved to and fro when I touched it. In great terror I got up and ran through some rooms and a long passage to my mother's room. When I entered her room I found her lying just as I had seen her on the curtain, pale as death, and the sheets covered with blood.

Two doctors were standing by the bedside. 'She has been very ill," said one of the physicians, 'but I trust all danger is over A lady intimately known to some of the members of. the Pyschical Research Society, who will not permit her name to be published, telis the following story of a haunted house, which was written out ia her presence after a careful examination of her evidence. "In 1ST2," she says, "my husband and I spent one night in the house of my aunt, in a suburb of London. The house being small, my cousin gave me her room, and my husband had to sleep upstairs.

In the middle of the night I awoke in a cold-sweat, and saw in the dim liulit a man standing close to my bedside. I put out my hand to turn up the gas, but the figure disappeared. I jumped out of bed. found the door locked, and searched the room, but to no purpose. Thinking I must have been dreaming, I got into bed, and must have gone to sleep again.

Twice more that night I was awakened, and saw the same figure standing by me. I now clearly saw the features and general appearance. It was a tall, well-built, good-looking man, in a frock coat, with a long reddish beard. At breakfast time I spoke of the matter; and my cousin exclaimed: 'Now, mamma you will believe my story; I told you the room was haunted. Afterward I went into the dining room, which I had never before entered, and there I saw a iucture of the man who had appeared at my bedside.

It was the portrait of the late owner of the house, who had died of delirium tremens a few months before, in the bedroom which I had occupied. I learned the fact then for the first time." Another haunted house inquired about by the society is in Ireland, but names can not be published, though the facts seem to be well authenticated. Testimony was obtained from several observers. One of them, a governess, says: "Ou a day in April, about P. I was going to my room, when, just as I reached the top of the stairs, I saw a figure of a female dressed in blask, with a large white collar or kerchief.

She went into my room, the door of which was open. I thought it was Marie, the French maid. When I entered the room nobody was there. Some years later, as I was going to bed, I saw distinctly a lady in black leaning over the fire in the room occupied by the eldest daughter of the family. She was shading her eye with her hand, and seemed looking for something by the fender.

In a moment she disappeared. Another time I was sitting in the school-room, with the door open, when I saw the same figure standing by the stove in the lower hall. I got up to see who it was, but it vanished. Each time I have seen the "black lady" she has been dresed in what appeared to be black serge of cashemire, soft and in heavy folds." This ghost is said to be that of a young lady who lost her life when the house was burned partly in 1752. She tried to escape by a window, but the sash fell down on her hand, cutting off three fingers.

One of the young ladies of the family writes: 'Two of my sisters saw the chost when they were quite youDff. One of them was coming out hour until Christmas Patent Beavers $2 and $2.75 a yard. Chinchillas blue and black $2 to $3 a yard. 0 Cloaking Plushes very E3 fine $3-50. $4-50.
