The question of the end seat in a street
car has assumed more than ordinary pro
iju '.vita . sir.-,
portions in consequence of proposed legis
lative action, which will compel men to
glide along without consideration of det
erment to trousers, says the Boston
“Herald.” The discussion is a painful
cue to the lover of his race. The dispu
tants attribute unworthy motives to the
man who roots himself in the end seat
and to those that would uproot him; they
ahow temper in their arguments; they
even scream. Students of sociology in
New England are now reminded of the
peculiar honpr in. which the end seats in
it. 2V.t4^ In .4 '■ ,

There was the large box pew and there
was the ordinary straightaway-high pew.
In the former there wgsjso special sent
of honor that incited envy. All the seats
were equally uncomfortable,- and the
chairs that sometimes were.placed in the
center were sti&-BackAI and rebellious.

In the straightaway, paw there were two
seats of hoifoV-rtlie commanding seat was

glory was that at the other end. This
lesser seat was given to the oldest wo

If there was no'grandmother, the wife.

There were occasions when this seat was

There he sat in awful dignity, with one

preached was too charitable, he turned

then he would look at bis spouse, or
frown at a child ready to snicker. This

long as the father of the flock was able to
BU it. Be might have as a guest a

MME. REJANE’S TOUR.
Great French Actress to Ar
rive In New York In Novem
ber and Play Twelve
Weeks,
Mr. George C. Tyler of Liebler & Co.,
of New York is at present stopping in
Pari* on business and pleasure. The bus
iness part, he stated 80 a correspondent
yesterday, consists principally in arrang
ing for Mme. Rejane’s American tear.
Negotiations were begun last January
and the contract is now signed. Mme.
Rejane will arrive in America in the be
ginning of November, and her first ap
pearance at the Lyric Theatre in New
York will probably be on November 8.
She will give the principal pieces of her
repertory such as “Zaza.”' “La Passer
eile,” “Lu Course aux Flambeaux,” etc.,
in which Mme.Rejane Is seen at her best.
Previous to going to the United States
she will make a tour in South America
visiting Buenos Ayres, Rio De Janeiro
and Havana. Desmesnii, who played the
leading man in “Resurrection,” will ac
company her. She will take with her a
fuli company of her own choice, including
some of the best Parisian players.
Mme. Rejane is engaged for twelve
weeks in the United States, four of which
will be passed in New York. The rest of
the time will be taken up in a tour to
Chicago, Boston. Philadelphia and New
Orleans. It is seven years since she was
last in the United State*.
“I have also arranged for the appewr
anee of Miss Eleanor Robson,” said Mr.
Tyler, “at the Duke of York’s Theatre in
London next September in Mr. Israel
Zangwill’s comedy “Merely Mary Ann.”
As regards the pleasure part of my vis
it,” continued Mr. Tyler, “one of my pur
poses in coming to Pans was to buy an
automobile. I was at once taken posses
ion of by ail the dealers in the city as
soon as my intention was kpown, and
from the first day I arrived in Paris till
now I hadn't a moment to myseif.
"I was simply tossed from one vehicle
to another, spun around on big automo
biles like the doomed shades of Dante. I
made only thirty-two trips backward and
forward to Versailles. Every bone In
my system at last began to ache, and my
judgment was all mixed up in smoke and
petrol. I decided yesterday yesterday to
put an end to my martyrdom by pur
chasing a fourteen horse-power Renault.
It is a perfect beauty, but I don’t wqnt
to see it today. I have had’ crfOngh’ of
automobiling, just now and have to hick
myself up foe business.
. “In k few days I shall start on a tour
-to Italy in my new trap. I shall go to
Lilian. Florence and Rome, and by the
way. I intend to bring back Signor Er
mete Novell! for a tour in America.
“Signor Novell! strike? me as one of
the greatest actors in the world. He is
not only a great trag0dian,bnt also equal

be as much appreciated in America as he

Brooklyn Woman Driven to
California by Ghastly
Voices.

MISS KEMPSON’S EXPERIENCE
Extraordinary Story of a
Business Woman While
Employed in a Priv
ate Family,
“You go uptown and see Miss Fannie
Kempson and she’ll give you the best
ghost story you ever heard. I say the
best, because I know it’s true.”
It was a business man, hard-headed
and keen, who spoke, says a writer in the
Newark “Sunday News.” He had just
arrived from California, and Miss Kemp
son had taken advantage of his coming to
take the trip East with the intention of
locating some friends of her earlier
years. She is now a well preserved wo
man of sixty years, of a cheerful dispo
sition and plainly a person not easily
frightened.
Though somewhat surprised when the
writer called and made known his errand,
she, on receiving the card of her friend,
readily consented to tell her story, insist
ing, however, that her true name be not
given.
“I doubt if there is any one living to
day besides the gentleman who sent you
to me who knows the story of njy life
since the day I fled from Brooklyn,” said
she. “I never expected to give it to the
public. My troubles began more than
forty years ago. I had beeu employed
for several years in the home of a weal
thy resident of the city as a seamstress
when I was startled one evening on my
way to my room on the top floor of the
house by hearing the rustling of silken
skirts as if a woman richly dressed pass
ed me as I ascended the stairs.
“It was quite dark, all the lights hav
ing been extinguished. I had never be
lieved in ghosts or spooks and had no
fear of them. I knew no one had really
passed me on the stairs, and I retired
somewhat puzzled. I had about forgot
ten the experience when two week* later
I again heard the sound of rustling skirts
distinctly. I called out asking who had
passed me, but received no answer. Most
young women, I suppose, would have fled
in terror, but the sounds only excited my
curiosity, and, getting a lamp from my
room, I searched the lower part of the
house, thinking it possible that some of
the other servants were trying to fright
en me.
“I discovered nothing, and I went to
m.v room, beginning to wonder if there
really was a ghost in the house. I was,
however, soon convinced of the superna
tural origin of the sounds, for they be
came gradually more frequent until they
were of almost nightly occurrence.
“I never was troubled with nervous
ness and grew so accustomed to the
sounds that I paid no attention to them.
In fact, I' was surprised when I did not
hear the rustling. I was certain none of
the other servants had heard the noises,
because none of them would venture
alone out of their rooms at night in the
dark. If they had heard anything the
whole household would have been quick
ly aroused. I decided not to speak of
my experiences, hoping that they would
come to an end as suddenly as they were
begun.
“But1 worse was in store for me. I was
sound asleep one evening when I was
awakened sharply by the door of my
room being suddenly thrown violently
open. Thinking it might have been done
by a gust of wind I got up, shut and
locked it. I had just settled comfortably
in bed when it was again thrown wide
open. This time I got up, lighted my
lamp, searched thejhallway, peeping into
the other rooms, blit every one else was
apparently sound asleep.
“I felt considerably upset and mysti
fied, but in no sense did I fegl what is
called a ‘creepy’ feeling. Once again
again it was thrown open after I had re
turned to my bed. This time I vras thor
oughly aroused and angry. I determined
to stop the door opening, and going soft
ly np to the garret, which was large and
stored with trunks and odds and ends of
nil kinds, I got a-piece; of heavy twine.
With this I ffied the door from the knob
to a staple that had been driven into the

side of the,, door frame for some
purpose, and returned to jj^jr rjj&t.j ^ was

falling into a doze when again the door
was thrown open, the twine being snap
ped as if it were thread. I sat up in bed
thoroughly amazed and trying to solre
the mystery for half an hour, but gave it
up and tearing the door open rolled my
self in the plankets and went to sleep.
That night I was disturbed no more, nor
did iny ghostly visitors bother with the
door again.
“On the following night I was enter
tained in a different way. It wanted
twenty minutes of 12 o’clock when I re
tired, ad I had just settled myself when
I jumpnd to the floor thoroughly alarmed'
by the racket ever my head. The noise
sounded as if a couple of boys were rac
ing around the garret, drawing after
them those little four-wheeled wagons
children havei Every moment I expected
the other inmates of the house to come
rusiiing into my room to learn the cause
of the racket. This was kept up for
fully five minutes, but it seemed that no
one in the house but myself was dis
turbed. Far from being frightened. I
was disgusted and angry, and seizing my
lamp, I tiptoed softly up to the garret
and peered around in every corner, but
e.tild se nothing unusual. Nothing had
been disturbed. In a little while the noise
was repeated, and I noted that the dis
turbances lasted about one hour each
night. In the morning 1 studied my face
long in the glass, for it dawned upon me
tiiat possibly 1 might be going crazy, but
I could see nothing except n dullness in
my eyes resulting from loss of sleep that
was much needed, for I worked hard in
those days.
“I recalled ail my actions during the
! past few days, but could remember noth
ing tending to show anything mentally
wrong with me. I concluded that if any
thing had gone wrong it was not my
brain., and I resolved to fathom the nays
tery, if possible.
“The following night the garret was
again the scene of the ghostly pranks.
It seemed ns if they waited for me to
get ready to go to sleep before commenc
ing. On this occasion it sounded as if
several men had eacli taken a bushel
basket of potatoes or apples and hurled
them, one basketfuil after the other, roll
ing over the garret floor. Suddenly X
took a humorous view of the matter and
in a moment I was laughing heartily
over the idea of such a fuqny proceeding.
But I soon recovered myself at the next
bombardment and retired to wnlt patient
ly for the end of the performance, which
came in about an hour and I promptly
fell asleep.
"The last manifestation seemed to be
the result of a ftlMidish determination to
’dri^e mggoot of my room. I had gone
' fU )ear«surl» spgsidinf J^ioh^er' time than
^iiaI}HPmy'arf««tona fa*he iigpe ^at I
' migh^'lse' allowed to sleep in-peace. At
about the usual time I was awakened by
a tugging at my pillow as if some one
were trying to pull it from under my
head. I got up in a temper, and, lamp in
hand, searched the room and halls with
the usual result. Again I got into my
bed defiant and determined to go to sleep.
The moment the light was extinguished
the tugging was resumed. I got up.
lighted the lamp and retired again, but it
made no difference,
“Again I arose and sxttnguished the
light. As I put my head on the pillow
there was an extra hard tug at it, and,
thoroughly exasperated, I cried out: ‘For '
heaven’s sake leave my pillow’ alone and j
go to my feet.’ I don’t know why I said ,
this. It was the first thing that came to
me, I suppose, but what astonished me
was that my reuest was instantly obey
ed, and the tugging at the foot of the bed
was kept up with such wicked persist
ence that I had to give up and sit in a
chair for an hour before I was permitted
again to sleep.
“Now I come to my final experience in
that house, and I often have wondered
that I did not go mad or my hair turn
, white from fright. The next day was
the eve of Christmas. There was to be
a gathering of friends of the family in
the evening. It was about 2 o’clock in
the afternoon when one of the gentlemen
asked me to go to his room and get him
a paper he had left there. When I en
tered the room I saw the paper on his
bureau, with his razor lying opened upon
it. He had just finished shaving when
he was called downstairs by a visitor. I
picked up the razor to lay it one side,
and at that instant I heard hissed in my
ear, it seemed to me in tones of devilish
vindictiveness: ‘Cnt your throat—quick!’
“Instinctively I hurled the razor from
me and out of an open window, and drop
ped on my knees shaking with terror. But
in a moment I recovered and fled from
the room. In the hall I stopped to re
gain my composure. Then I swiftly en
tered the room again, seized1 the paper
and carried it downstairs. That was the
last service I rendered theire. I immedi
ately packed my trunk and'left tae house,
to the amazement of every member of
the family, who thought much of me.
But I would give no explanation otlier
than that I hud to leave the city, which
I did immediately, going to California.
“But never after that terrible day
could I touch a knife without hearing
those same words hissed' in my ear. For
' tunately I had some money saved, and
this I invested profitably in California,
so that I have always been able to have
my food prepared so that I shall not need
to use a kuife. But for that one thing
1 have everything I want, and am per
fectly happy.
“I know of no reason for the manifes
tations in the house, and as far as I
know no other person knew of any. The
family was an excellent one, and I nev
er heard of any misdeeds by any mem
ber of it such as are popularly supposed
to lead to spectral antics: nor do 1 know
of any reason in my own life or the lives
of those who have gone before that could
even remotely explain what I have been
the victim of. That is all. It may be
| taken as other ghost stories, with, much
■salt. Bnir°I know too well how meal,
though stfSjlOtvy, it all was.”

From the Chinese. '
Here is a famous passage from the
writings of a Chinese philosopher.
More than twenty centuries ago it
gained the author the sobriquet of
“Butterfly Chung.” The philosopher
tells of a dream: “Once upon a time I,
Chung Tea, dreamed I was a butterfly,
fluttering hither and thither, to all in
tents and purposes a butterfly. I was
conscious only of following my fancy
as a butterfly and was unconscious of
my Individuality as a man. Suddenly
I awakened and there I lay, myself
again. Now, I do not know whether
I was then a man dreaming I was a
butterfly or whether I am now a but
terfly dreaming I am a man.”
The Speed of Sense.
Hirsch proved that a touch on the
face was recognised by the brain and
responded to by a manual signal In
the one-seventh part of a second. The
scientist also found that the speed of
sense differed for different organs, the
sense of hearing being responded to in
the oae-sixth of a second, while that
of sight required only one-fifth of a
second to be recognized and signaled.
In all three cases the distance travers
ed was about the same, se the natural
inference is that the image travels
more slowly than sound or touch.

The Oak.
The oak chooses a horizontal direc
tion for its limbs so that their whole
weight may tell and then stretches
them out fifty or sixty feet so that the
strain may be mighty enough to bo
worth resisting. At 90 degrees the oak
stops short. To slant upward another
degree would mark infirmity of pur
pose; to bend downward, weakness of
organisation. Other trees shirk the
work of resisting gravity. The oak de
fies it—Dr. Holmes.
