market was taken In hand today with
more vigor and determination than
Tor some time past. The initiative
was supposed to lie largely profes?
sional, but the appearance of confi?
dence even amongst professional op?
erators was a distinct change from
the. recent profound apathy of the
market. Rumor wuh busy with the
probable origin of the suddenly de?
veloped activity and while the Indi?
vidual group varied In I ho differ;
?>nt surmises there was n gonernl
agreement In the rumor pointing to
organized professional operations ns
concerned in Ihn upward movement
of prices. A rebound of 1.1 by 10 In
Investment feeling In London. Ap?
parently fear of troubles at the fort?
nightly stock market settlement In
progress there- have subsided, Dis?
counts receded, although the London
uto'.-ks were steady at the close.
The continued drain on the bouVt
reserves It Is held In some quarters
?cannot fail to complicate the local
money situation in connection with
Remlanniial settlements. The slock
market Ignored this Influence. The
weekly bulletn of the weather bureau
was a hip to the market. The driv?
ing In of a short Interest also helped
tho growing strength. Tills bad be
ciinie pronounced and generally by
the last hour of the day, and num?
erous gains of 10 to 13 points were
shown by all classes of Becurltlos.
These gains were hnld and active

A GHOST STORY.
The Crowd of Phantoms That Dazed
Thrco Young Women.
Au experience wherein phantoms
1 presented thoiVlPolvos to view In pro?
digious numbers simultaneously Is re?
lated by a young lady whoso name, at
her request, Is withheld, the narrative
being Indorsed by her sister, who was
with her at the time, She writes:
"One autumn night my sister nnd
myself, with nur maid, were returning
from evening service in the vlllag.
thurch. There was a thick fog. Tlw
moon was full, but it made a sort of
Et cam In the fog Instead of shining
brightly. Suddenly 1 snw a man at
my sister's side, who hud come there
without making n sound. I pulled bei
Sleeve, whispering, 'Let the :nnn pass."
As I spoke the man disappeared.
"In another moment WO were nil bo
wilderet! at the sight around us. II
was as if wo were in n crowded street,
Innumerable figures surrounding us
Men. women nnd children were mov?
ing briskly about, some singly, others
In groups, but nil without a sound
Some seemed to rise out of tho grass
on either side of us and to come out on
tho other side. The women were
dressed In bygone fnshlon, with high
bonnets and shawls and largo flounces
on their dresses.
"There was one very tall man who
took great strides, though perfectly
motionless. We nppronched our own
gnte, where we should turn In, nnd
then we bad a long driveway to walk
up before we could roach tho house. I
think that by tho time we had reached
the goto all tho figures hud disappear?
ed except this one tnll num. He had
quite a different look from any of tho
others?more borrlblo altogether. As
wp entered our gate, to our intense re?
lief, ho passed by,along the rond and
vanished. Of course wo were nil very
frightened. The maid nnd ray sister
were crying alotld."
In 0 case like tills, where the same
spectral phenomena nre witnessed by
BOVerqI persons, the value of the testi?
mony obviously Is multiplied a hun?
dredfold, for, while one Individual may
bo a victim of n hallucination, such an
Illusion can hardly be shared by many.
What, then, is to be said In answer to
such evidence, furnished by deponents
of unimpeachable character and repu
Lit Ion for truthfulness? To suppose
that they nro combining In the manu?
facture of n He Is scarcely reasonable

Tho Way to Fame.
"80 you are going to Europe?" "Yes."
answered the man who aspires to bo n
prominent citizen. "I don't care much
about the trip, but the reporters nover
seem anxious to interview you about
American affairs nntll you have been
abroad long enough to lose track of
them."?Washington Star.

and eat the larks, which by that time
