"Tulkltiff nboat funny nnd odd adventures ,
y , I have liad enough whiles on the road to
fill n big volume. "
Some Imlf a dozen drummers wen seated
In tlo corridor of an uptown hotel , when some
one su ggcsted n story ,
They nnd arrived In town In the afternoon
and worn taking a rest preparatory togettlnR
to work the ncit day. In the party wens a
representative of a western woolen goods
house , a publishing house , a fur house and a
hardware firm. Several other drummers
who wcro in town some ttono Joined the
party.
"Lot Loy tcllsomoof his yarn * , " suggested
the woolen goods man.
Loy liiid uttered the opening sentence ,
nd lie wts known to bo brimful of anec
dotes. All hands Insisted on hU breaking
the Ice , and the party adjourned to the read-
Inp room , where ho began his story.
"Boys , I have been on the road a good
many years. I have tramped from one end of
thh country to the other , been to Europe nnd
Canada , but tbo funniest experience I ever
had wns In veil , never mind , I won't men
tion the place , but It was In Connecticut. "
Ills samples , ho explained , consisted of a
line of first-class goods , nnd ho had made sev
eral profitable sulcs. so when Sunday came
Jio determined to tnko a ride into the suU-
* Urbi.
"All went on well , " ho continued , "until I
was about ten miles out and then a thunder
storm caino on. "
"I hud no umbrella , " ho explained , "and
had on a new $10 hat , which I dldnH want to
( rot wot. 1 looked about nnd espied n preten
tious farmhouse. 1 put for it nnd when near-
Ins It I discovered n great crowd about the
door.
" 1 Imvo got lots of gall so nave you , boys ,
nnd I illdn't mind the people. I pushed
through the crowd. The door lending to the
farm house was open nnd in I walked. An
Old typical Ynnk strode toward mo , and ex
tending Ku baud , said , 'How d'ya do1 ] I
noticed the old man wai pl.id to see me.
' "Take oft your things,1 ho said , 'and come
In. Mary's nigh crazy at your not coming oil
time. '
"This sort of paralyzed me , hut I didn't
jnlucl it. nnd after hiking off my duds I fol
lowed the old man Into the parlor.
"A crowd of people was there , and at one
Ido was a young girl all dressed In white.
\Vhon wo entered they nil rose and bowed ,
and my Kiililo slapped mo on the back and
Bald to the company :
" 'I knowed ho'd show up. *
"Tho thing began to puzzle me , " continued
Irtio nurrutor. "Tho whisperings of the com
pany and the old man's remarks about my
Cot disappointing , staggered inc. The girl
Inwhlto sat still anil eyed mo in a curious
way. but the old man fixed things.
" ' what's the matter with
'Sny , Mary , you ,
jrlrl , ' ho said. 'Don't you recognize hlinl I
guess you two people are bashful.1
"Mary wnlued over to mo nnd shook my
hand , nnd wo sat down side by sldo and
talked for about two minutes. Pretty soon a
priest -walked Into the place.
" 'Father John. ' That's how tbo old fel
low Introduced him to the company , " ex-
plnlued the drummer.
"Ho put on his robes nnd then sat down.
" 'Let's wait half nn house'said the former
to mo. Then conlldcntially ho whispered :
" 'Whore's the ring , John ? Have you got
thorliiKl'
" 'Tho ring,11 said. 'What rlngV
" ' Yu'ro all excitement , ' ho answered ; 'the
\veddinp ring , of course. '
" 'A wedding rlngl' I asked In surprise. I
thought the old fellow was going mad. 'What
ao I want a wedding ring for ) '
" 'Well , I swan , ' replied the old fellow ,
while u puzzled look crept over his face ;
you're a funny follow ; never got a ring , and
liow are yon going to be married ! ' J
"It all'flashed on mo hi an Instant , thcro
was u mistake ,
" ' 1 am not going to cct married , * I said. I.
qcver was In this House before. I came la
out of the ruin. " The old follow was dumb
founded. Suddenly n voice called from bo-
ow :
" 'Father , fatherl Hero ho is. Here's
ffohn. '
" 'John , ' said the old maa to ino , 'ain't ' you
JohiU'
"That was my name , and I told him I was.
Ho rubbed his hands across his eyes and
aid :
" 'Now quit your nonsense. You're ' jok
ing. Como down. '
" \Vo went down , nnd when wo reached the
entrance there stood a man with a girl on his
arm. Slio was smiling sweetly and I wished
to bo in the other fellow's place just then.
The old man looked sharply at mo , then at
other inun.
" 'Pu , don't you know Johnl' said the
girl.
" 'B'gosh , is that you. John ] ' ho said , slap
ping the other mun on the back. ' 1 thought
this wus John.1 and ho looked nt mo.
"The girl blushed , mid so aid 1. 'Why.
pa,1 she said , 'I know ho was not John , nnd
thought ho was a friend of yours. '
"Then explanations followed. The old man
declared ho was nearsighted ; that 1 looked
like his son-in-law ; that ho hud seen the lat
ter but cmco In n year nnd got mixed up kin-
dor. I stayed for the wedding and hal a
good time.
"It was a narrow escape , boys , was It noli"
ho concluded.
All hnnds laughed , nnd then "Dlcli" Mc-
Cartlo "Handsome Dick , " as they called
him related one of his experiences , which bo
Bald was the oddest ho over had.
Ho xvns stopping hi the Dclevan house at
Albany n year ago , ho said. Ho arrived In
town early In the morning , and , nfter on-
( racing a room , started off to make n sale. Ho
tnct some of the boys and they had a pretty
peed tlmu until about 1 a. m. next day. when
ho started for the hotel , Ho reached it In
safety , ho said , nnd proceeded to the third
" " jir , whore his room was located.
'I hail neglected to lock the door , and to
tell you the truth , " ho went on , ' 'rcallv I bad
forgotten the number , so I thought I would
take chances on the Jlrst door I found open.
XJolsoiessly 1 walked along the hull , trying
the doors. Suddenly ono opened and In I
valked. I throw off my overcoat and dl-
Vested myself of myco.it audvost without
going to the trouble of lighting the gas.
"An I was about to sit down nnd take oft

( Some ono struck n match , and the next In
stant I felt nn Iron grip on my throat. Thcro
was a struggle. A hall-man cumo running

in."Ttio gas was lighted and I was In the
hands of n big man. 'You scoundrel , ' he
unlit , ' 1'vo ' caught you now ; I am going to
murder you. " A pretty young girl was sit
ting up in the bed , speechless and whito-
rfuccd.
" 'What nro you doing in this room ! ' the
snan demanded.
" 'It's my room,1 I replied angrily , 'and
hero's the key.1
"He looked at the key and then at mo. My
room was uoxt to his. I explained matters ,
nod he allowed mo to Icaro after giving mo
some friendly advice.
"In the morning I asked the clerk who ho
was.
" 'Oh , that's ono of our assemblymen , ' he
answered , 'wno was married a week ago. '
"I tjion apologized to the assemblyman ,

A Kllok Uobbcry.
Last week a salesman for an cistern Jew
elry house left Now Castle for Youngstown
via the Pittsburg & Lake Eric railroad.
At Now Castle Junction his sample cases ,
which had been choclrcd through to Youngstown -
town , were taken off the baggage car to bo
transferred. While- lying nt the depot a thief
or thieves stole ono of the most valuable of
the number nnd carried It to a sand house
near by , whore ho cut It open nnd abstracted
several thousand dollars' ' worth of gold
watches and chnlni.
It Is not known how far the salesman got
before ho inissodhls grip , but it was aomo
time before It was found. It Is said that
some few pieces of tbo Jewelry were found
where the thief had dropped them. At pres
ent there is no clue , but a biff scarcn is being
made to catch the thief. It is altogether
nrobnblo that the railroad company will bo
liable for the loss.

of E. A. Oakes , a traveling man who died of

I met her in a Pullman car ,
In section number nine ,
Each eye shown like a morning star ,
With radiance divine ;
So when I placed my bags and traps
In section number ten ,
She looked so tempting "mid " her wraps
I sought her face again.
She glanced at mo with roguish , pose ,
Yet innocent of guilt ,
Then colored liken blushingroso
And I tried to hide a smile ;
The sweet confusior but enhanced
Her dainty tint of pink ,
And qulto by accldentlsh chanced
The nearest eye to wink.
"When she refused my proffered card
With scorn and proud disdain ,
I tried my best and ploadud hard
My error to explain.
She listened to my mumbling crude ,
Then tossed her nose on high ;
"I think , " she said , "you'd wink if you'd

The Strangely Tragic Story of a YOUDJJ Hew
Yorker's Death.
STILL HAUNTED BY A PALLID FACE ,
Itoth Itrido nnd Groom nro Gone , but
in Their Mansion Her Spirit
Ever Watches for Ills
Return.
At No. 321 West Ono Hundred and
Twenty-sixth street there stands nn old-
fashioned Iiou30 , says the Now York
Morning1 Journal. Evidently It was
built moro than an hundred years ago ,
for It is the style of architecture popu
lar In old colonial days.
The house la square In Its construction
nnd Is two stories In height. A wide
veranda runs around the exterior of tlio
bulldinfr , which Is covered with viuos ,
which from the street look like a canopy
of preen cloth.
The house Is unoccupied now , nnd In
fact has boon so for the past thirty years.
No ono cares to Hvo in It for the ronsou
that Ills said to bo haunted.
But it Is a wide , roomy mansion , and
if it were not for Its reputation would
lonff since have boon occupied.
Fifty years or more ago Edward Jam
ison lived In this old homestead. Ho
was a young man when ho moved into
the house , which was part of an ances
tral fortune Inherited from his grand
father , who built the structure.
Jamison was a young man about town ,
well known to the residents ol tlio city.
Uo had been educated at Harvard college -
lego and afterward wont to Europe ,
where ho spent several years hi travel.
His father was a member of the Jamison
fatnily , for years veil known In the po
litical and social world of old New
York.
The older Jamison was an only son of
old General Jamison , the founder of the
family , who died in France , leaving- his
fortune to his son , the young intm al
ready spoken of.
Young Jamison did not keep the for
tune Inherited from his father for any
length of timo. Horses , carriages , dogs ,
wine and women soon exhausted
it , and ho was , at the time of his grand
father's death , down almost to his last
dollar.
The death of old General Jamison ,
however , put him in possession of btlll
another fortune , and it was with a glad
hoartthatho moved Into the ancestral
homo from his bachelor apartments
downtown.
A year after coming Into his grand
father's fortune Jamison's friends were
surprised at receiving invitations to his
wedding.
It was a most fashionable affair , his
bridoboiiiff Miss Caroline Edwards of
Newport , II. I. , a daughter of one of the
most exclusive and wealthy of Puritan
families.
The young couple started in life at
the ancestral homo of Jamison
most happily. They entertained
largely and wcro noted for the lavish
manner with which they greeted their
friends.
Jamison used to drive a team of white
blooded horses around Harlem , and they
could reel off the rnilos nt a pace ivhicli
left everything else on the road far bo-
hind. Eoople living there used to com
ment on the way Jamison drove the
white horses , and used to say there
was no doubt that some day the
team would run away and kill their
owner.
Mrs. Jamison used to remonstrate with
her husband for the careless way in
which ho drove the team , but ho would
only smile and reply that ho-was perfect
ly able to take care of himself.
Ono stormy winter afternoon when the
ground was covered with snow Jamison
started out behind his pair of flyers. His
wife begged him not to go , but ho only
laughed nt her and waved a gallant
good-by to her as aho stood at a window
in the upper part of the houso.
A few hours later Jamison was
brought back to his homo dead.
His team had run away with him , and
ho was thrown out of his sleigh to the
ground and instantly killed.
The terrific shock of the death of her
husband seemed to change Mrs. Jami
son's character entirely. Her reason
was not exactly lost , but she would stnnd
for hours looking out of the window
where she last waved good-by to her hus
band , awaiting his homo-coming , She
did not seem to understand that her hus
band was dead , but with a white , anxious
face , day after day , stared blankly put
of the window in the vain hope of seeing
him.
People passing the handsome mansion
used to look up at the window where
stood Mrs. Jamison and would say with
bated breath : "Thoro is the mad Indv. "
Ono day the news was circulated
around Harlem that Mrs. Jamison was
dead. She had hanged herself , it was
later learned , in an upper room of her
homo.
Whether she had suddenly realised
that her husband was dead , or whether
her wild madness had taken a suicidal
turn , was never actually known , and
from the social standing and wealth of
her family the matter was hushed un.
No coroner's inquest was held and noth
ing was known about the tragedy except
to the Jamison family and a few intimate
friends.
As neither Mr. nor Mrs. Jamison had
children , the estate and fortune passed
to a distant branch of the family living
in the west.
The old mansion was rented and poo-
'plo wore rather surprised at the end
of a week to see the now tenants move
out.
out.Forawhilo the mansion was not occu-
cupiod , but finally another family
moved in. Three days later they also
moved out and to friends told a remark
able story.
They faald that when they first occu
pied the mansion they constantly heard
strange noises. First would bo heard
the patter of feet walking around in an
upper chainbor , which would bo
followed by a low sobbing cry. When
the fatnily wont into the room from
which the noises came nothing was to bo

soon.But as soon as they loft the room again
would bo hoard the sound of weeping and
the steady tramp of feet.
For two days the family stood the un
canny sounds , believing that they could
discover that the noises were made by
human agency.
On the morning of the third day , a
member of the family was Bitting in tlio
chamber whence the noises came.
Ho hoard the sound of foots tops com
ing un tbo wide staircase. Softly but
steadily they advanced , nnd ho could
also hear the soft rustle of fcminino gar
ments.
Suddenly the door of the room opened
and with the rush of cold air a woman
entered.-
She was young and fair , and was
dreaped In a quaint gown of colonial
fashion. Her face was white and drawn ,
aud her tearless eyes turned neither to

into vacancy.
She walked toward the window and
stood for a moment , looking out into the
street.
Frozen with horror , the voung man
seated in the room watched her. At
last , gathering his wits about him , ho
jumped and ran to the window for the
purpose of seeing whether the woman
there was flesh and blood.
But when ho reached where she was
standing she had disappeared , and lie
foil to the floor iu a faint.
On the following day his family
moved out of the house , and the story of
what ho had seen was told to a few inti
mate friends.
From the description of the woman lie
had soon , it was evidently Mrs. Jamison ,
for when ho was shown a picture of her
lie immediately identified it as being the
same as the mvstorious woman ho had
seen.
Since then no ono has occupied the
house , and It is rapidly fulling into
decay.

bor the story of Airs. Jamison , and it is
said that often can bo soon the white

How to Educate Women.
Once give full scope "to'the expression
of woman's powersv in any nnd every
form of activity that' may correspond to
those powers ; rolievd nlike from fear of
poverty and dependence , and from , the
tyranny of enforced' inactivity , and
womanhood will blossom into beauty
and strength and lovliness of character
hitherto undreamed' , writes Mrs.
Helen E. Starrctt in 'the Forum. Es
pecially in the homo relations of women
will this 'bo apparent ; As an earnest
thinker upon tlio subject has said , "It Is
Inevitable that the removal of any ex
ternal pressure of necessity to marry
for the sake of a homo nnd support will
have a tendency to clevato the standard
of marriage , first among women , and
then among men. " One of the greatest
foes to happy marriages is the existence
of the mercenary spirit on the part of
parents and daughters. Nothing will so
effectively remove itns the possession by
young girls and women of satisfactory ,
honorable , remunerative occupations ,
and the countenance and approbation of
society in the pursuit of thorn. Mar-
caret Fuller said : "No woman can give
her hand with dignity until she has
learned to stand alone. " The day is
near at hand when the thoroughly-edu
cated woman will be the ono admirably
described by Goethe as "able , if neces
sary , to bo both father and mother to
her children. " Hero will bo found the
true conditions for forming lovo-inspired
marriages , as a consequence , the cens
ing to bo of any other kind. And while
wo open to them tlio door of freedom to
find the highest heaven of earthly hap
piness the homo builded upon love and
a happy marriage , wo nt the same time
furnish them with a key of escape from
the bastilo , that hell a marriage from
which love and respect have departed.

Climbing Mount Tjiconia.
Mount Tacoma , Washington , rises tea
a height of 14,414 foot , aud up to the
present ti.no only twenty-nine persons
have climbed to its summit , of whom
Miss Fay Fuller of Tacoma is the only
woman. The party with whom Miss
Fuller made the ascent on September 10
consisted of Kov. E. C. Smith , R It
Parish and " \V. O , Amsdon of Seattle
and Leonard Longmiro , the guide , of
Yolra , says the Now York World. Ex
perienced mountalneors sav that Mount
Tacoma is the most difficult American
peak to climb. The nscont of the first
7,000 foot was made on horseback ,
through dense forests , across dangerous
streams and beautiful natural parks ,
known as the lower gardens of Eden ,
consumed nearly four days. Then began
the ascent on foot , which was perilous
in the extreme. At 12,000 feet the wind
blow a hurricane over the snow and
blue-green glacier. Several crevasses
had to be crossed , some of which were
largo enough to drop n house in. The
summit was reached at 4:80 : p. m. Aug
ust 10. It is about two miles across.
Standing on the top tlio climbers could
BOO below them two largo craters look
ing like immense bowls with a central
common rim. Tlio largo crater is about
three-quarters of a milo across. They
are filled with i-now and solid ice , witli
the rime around the circumference of
the bare rocks rising about feisty foot in
some places. The steam keeps the
rocks bare all the time. Coming
down from the summit , where
they could hardly stand on account
of the wind , they were sheltered in
the crater and examined the steura jets ,
looitinff as it a row 01 ooiiing teakettles
were placed along the ridge. They sat
on the rocks and were soon damp with
moisture nnd parboiled by the heat , and
it was necessary to move. At G o'clock
Miss Fuller's account of the expedition
&ays : "On the east cdgo of the big cra
ter wo entered an ice cave between the
snow and the rim of the ci'atcrand thcro
with steam beside us wo spread our blan
kets , which sopmcd light enough now ,
took oft our shoes , bathed our feet in
whisky and began the night. After hav
ing reached the summit I began to feel
sick from cold , exhaustion and the sul
phurous odorand for some time sulTored
from a chill and nausea. After vomiting1
I felt all right and ready to enjoy the
night. Some of the gentlemen wore very
tired and very cold. Eating had no at
traction for mo , but some ate a little.
Tilr. Smith molted some ice in a cup over
the steam , heated the water , dissolved.
some extract of beef and served a good
hot beef soup for supper. Two "blankets
over us seemed little protection for the
night. Through the small opening in
the cave nbovo wo could watch the stars
and meteors and all night long hear the
awful avalanches roaring down the
mountain sides. I was the only ono for-
tunnto enough to bo able to sleep. When
wo awoke our shops were frozen still and
liad to bo molted in the steam before wo
could put them on. The blankets where
the steam had been were icy. "
The descent was oven moro perilous
than the ascent had been , but it was
finally accomplished without serious.inis-
liap. Miss Fuller's exposure had caused
her lips , rose and face to swell badly and
the skin peeled off , but bho feels well re
paid for what she endured by the novel
experience.

Science Overcome * Deafness.
Just now the medical world is engaged hu-
discussing the new device for deafness
called Sound Disc. No invention of late has
attracted so much intorosc amonp the med
ical profession. Its perfection , \shlch Is now
nn established f net , has resulted in the over
throw ot many pet theories of tuero helnp no
relief for a vast number of cases of deafness.
This ingenious discovery was made hy II.
A. Wales of Bridgeport , Conn. , and coining
as it does with the approval cf some of the
leading Aurists of the world it can hnrdly
fall to prove of preat value to both the pro
fession and the nfHictcd.
Died of Oriol' nt His Noplicw's Dcntli.
Andrew Ycrkes , a prominent young
man of Northvlllo , Mich. , died at a late
hour the other night. His uncle , Clark
Griswold. a pioneer in this place , stood
by the side of the corpse , moaning like
a child. Suddenly ho tottered and fell
dead to the lloor. As fnr nn the doctors
can decide , there was nothing to cause
do-all but grief , says a dispatch to the
Phllndolphia Press.
