Lu Stanton in Bouthern Tobacco Journal A DESERT MYSTERY. r Colonel Whitehead is a story teller from way back and has a reputation as a raconteur) that spreads over a dozen western states and territories and from the waters of the Atlantio to those of. the Pacific. He has had innumerable thrilling adventures, both in war and in peace, and when in the proper humor he will spin yarns of the most absorb ing interest by the hour. One story that he related as we were jogging along behind the mules on a re cent trip to the undoubted gateway of sheol i. a, the 6ulphur banks of Kern county is so uncanny and strange that I will venture to repeat it "Some three years ago," said the colonel, "I v:as engaged in making a survey from Rogers, .on the Mojave des ert, to Antioch. We made rapid prog ress toward Fort Tejon pass, and it be came necessary to check up the line, measuring distances from government corners, that the road might be accur ately located upon the filing map. This work was assigned to an odd genius whom I will call Buck, a man past 65, tough as a knot and as wicked as a pi rate. Frequently he would set his rick ety old transit with the lens wrong end to, and after trying to locate the flag for 15 or 20 minutes he would discover his error, and then such swearing as ho in dulged in i3 rarely heard outside the forecastle of a man-of-war. I sometimes think the strange manifestation which I am about to relate to you might have been due to Buck's profanity. Certain ly if man can ever have power to sum mon spirits, evil or good, from the neth er world, Buck ought to have had that power in no small measure. " "I bgan the inspection of the survey preparatory 'to th9 right of way work, starting at Rogers, a desolate station on tho A. and P. road, on the borders of an immense dry lake. We made our first camp some 15 miles west of that point The regular survey camp was at this time near Gorman's Station, under the shadows of Mount Frazicr. Our camp was a rude settler's cabin, and near it was a shack barn with a little hay stored in it. A well of fairly good water close by mado a comfortable camp a possibil ity. It was late in October, and the wa ter had risen near the surface in the bed of the dry lake. We had eaten our sup per tho first night out and Were having a quiet smoke, looking out oveMhe deso late expanse of desert toward Lancaster, a station on tho Southern Pacfic road, some 23 or 30 milesto the Southwest. Buck had been entertaining us with yarns about ghosts that he insisted haunted an old mining camp near Owens' lake end was inclined to feel hurt because I laughed at his tales. "When darkness came on and only tho outlines of the gaunt mountains across the desert were discernible in the starlight, Buck of a sudden said, 'Colo nel, I n6ver thought an engine head light could be seen so plainly at Lancas ter." " 'Nor did I, ' was my reply, as I saw close to the ground at a distance dim cult to estimate a "round, strange col ored light or ball of fire, very like a looomotivo headlight A moment 3 w atching, however, soon convinced me that the light was erratic in its move ments and was nothing more or loss than a grand display of the 'ignis f atnus' or will o' tho wisp, something I had seen many times at the ends of the upr rs or mastheads of a ship at sea, but nevm on land orin sucn magnituae. i fijii to Buck: 'It's no headlight. It's ono of your ghosts come to convince me of the truth of your stories. ' He turned white as a sheet and grasped me by the arm. saying, 'It's coming dead for us, sure as we live. ' "And so it was. Dancing up and down, it came nearer and nearer. I must confess it made even me a trifle nervou whilo as for Buck he evidently took my Joke about the ghost in dead earnest and was completely panio strick en. 'For God's sake!' bo cried, 'let get out of this," and was on thepoi.-t of jumping up and running otr into ti-o rlftfiftrt, whMi all of a sudden the light disappeared and was seen no rore that night "Buck finely quieted down, though I could sea bv his nervousness and fre- rmant omck dances in tne direction in which the light had appeared that he was 6tvl in dread oi its reappearance. "I discussed the matter with him for hours, trvins to exnlain the real nature of ! the Dhenomenon. and that no possi ble harm could come oi it cut no TO.mld not have it that war. and all that I could say did not influence nis superstitious dread of the strange ap- " nnlonel ' ha said, 'it's a hoodoo. This railroad scheme and its promoters will die suddenry. surei "I laughed at his fears, and wo lay down to rather a restless night The work in this section was not completed next day In time to return to the main camp, and half a dozen times in t he nminiA of tha work Buck snoka about .the 'ghosts,' as he persiste'd in calling the phenomenon, and ne was oven more muddled than usual in ins manipulation of the transit Finally his slowness Caused night to come on before our task was completed, and we therefore return ed at dusk to the same camping place us the night before. "After we. had eaten suDoer Buck said! "Colonel, I never vrant to sea that infernal liehtaKaui Ghosts" or no ghosts, it's no good, and no luck win come of it', . j- "Tho words were BoarcelT out of his mouth when, apparently not more than a hundred yards away, the huge balUof fire appeared like a; flash, dancing op and down and seemingly coming dead toward us. Now Buck became almost beBide himself with terror. 'Let's go, and the quicker the better,' shouted my now thoroughly alarmed companion, but Buaaeniy, as on tne previous night, the light vanished. Bnok then recovered some portion of his eauanimitv. nnri though he was still anxious to return to camp I finally persuaded him that there was danger that we would lose our way if we ventured out on the desert after dark, while if we remained there was nothing to be afraid of. Neither of us slept much, however, for I must confess that I had a sort of 'creeDv' sensation myself, and . we were up early next morning, completed our work and got an early start back to camp. While we were on the road Buck said: 'Colonel, I don't want to discour age you, but the people who are at the head of this soheme to build a competing railroad will die suddenly, and this work will stop. In fact, I wouldn't wonder if you and I both went over tho range with them to keep them company. cut tney are going, surer 'How little you knowl' I replied. and I could say no more, as my backers were then unknown. " "Now let me tell you the strance se quel. The very same week that Buck made his prediction the Barings failed. x any in .November Henry D. Minot, the leading spirit and financial head of the enterprise, was killed in a railroad aooident while returning from Washing ton, where he had conoluded tho pur chase of General Beale's ranohes in ev ery detail save the passing of the papers ana paying the money, the intention having been to subdivide that immense estate of 264,000 acres. "On Thanksgiving day. of the same month came etders to olose the work, discharge everybody and break camp. The following year Allan Manvel, presi dent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa L e road, died after a brief illness, he having been the second backer of this great enterprise, and soon followed the death of Mr. Magoun of the great bank ing house of Baring, Magoun &Co., the third and last of the promoters of a rival railroad to the Southern Pacific system. " "What became of Buck?" I asked as the colonel paused. "Buck? Just read that clipping. ' ' and the colonel took from his pocketbook a worn bit of newspaper and handed it to me. It read as follows: Bagdad, Colorado Desert, Jan. 15, 18S9. An old inspector and surveyor known as Buck Pomeroy disappeared mysteriously from his camp at this point three days ago, and no trace of him has been found. He was in com pany with two friends and was apparently in good health and spirits. They all retired as customary early in tho evening, hut in the morning suc& was missing, and diligent search has failed to find him. He went awar just as he was rolled in his blankets barefoot ed and half dressed. One of the men said he thought he heard Buck's voice in the night Baying something about some ghosts being oft-' er him, but he thought it was a dream and eo paid no attention to It Buck has evidently joined that innumerable caravan of men whose bones whiten the remote sections of the desert and will doubtless remain forever without burial. I folded up the clipping and returned it to the colonel. He put "it back in his pocketbook without a word. San Fran cisco Call. Swells of Ancient Egypt. From what has come down to us. written, painted or chiseled, the Egyp tian lord must have been a great swell. The details of the twelfth dynasty show Egyptian elogance at its best. The lord has a male housekeeper, his miatre d'hote, called "superintendent of the provision house.)' There was a "super intendent of the baking house, and the mixer of drinks had the title of "scribe of the sideboard. " Perhaps he was a butler and regulated the supply of wines from the cellar. There were gardeners, porters and handicraft men, all busy in attending to the master. "A preparer of sweets" must have been a confectioner. The Egyptian, when ho was no longer mortal, had hopes of being well fed in the hereafter, as he believed he would be nourished in his particular heaven with abundant goose and beef. Offerings to the gods show the variety of the Egyptian menu, and in one are included 10 kinds of cooked meat, 5 kinds of bird or game, 16 varieties of bread and cake, 6 assorted wines, 4 brews of beers, 11 sorts of fruits and an endless number of sweet things. New York Times. WASHERWOMAN TO A POET. Mrs. Kate Choate, In Honor of Whose Housewarmlng Whlttler Wrote Verses. Surely few housewarmings and a housewarming is one of the most mem orable and significant of domestic cele brations are likely to be remembered with more satisfaction and pride than that which attended the first occupancy of the dwelling of Mrs. Kate Choate of Ames bury. She was the poet Whittier's washer woman, and when by persistent indus try she had earned a home for herself and her family he was one of the fore most among the neighbors and friends who organized the festivities and height ened the delight of their hostess by leav ing substantial tokens of their regard, inoluding a complete set of furniture for the new parlor. Mr. Whittier was present among the guests and made the speech of congrat ulation, concluding it with the recita tion of a poem which he modestly de scribed as a piece of machine poetry in trusted to him for the occasion. It was his own, of course; and it is given in full in his "Life and Letters, " recently published. The last three verses are as follows: Thanks, then, to Rate Choate I Let the idle take note What their fingers were made for. She, cheerful and jolly. Worked on late and early And bought what she paid for. Never vainly repining Nor begging nor whining. The morning star twinkles On no heart that's lighter As she makes the world whiter And smooths oat its wrinkles. Bo long life to Kate! May her heirs have to wait Til they're gray in attendance, . And the fiatiron press on, Still teaching Its lesson Of brave Independence. Mr. Whittier's early poems accorded, in "Songs of Labor," due poetio hon ors to the professions of drover, shoe maker, shipbuilder, farmer and fisher man. It Is pleasant to find him also gracefully recognizing the worth of a profession no less useful and honorable, but less often honored. 'Long life to Kate." too, he has doubtless seoured, in transferring her fiatiron and all from the steamy ream of the kitchen to the more romantlo atmosphere or verse. Chicago Times. Great Increase In Pnblio libraries. The New Hampshire law providing for the establishment of free publio li braries through the agency of aboard of library commissioners was passed in 1891. At that time there were 60 towns and cities in the state maintaining free libraries, and 178 were without any. The present record shows these figures exactly reversed. There are now only 60 towns whioh have no free publio li brary, while 173 are provided with them. The libraries recently established l apoMlatidti cilOOi 000. Boston WOMEN DETECTIVES. IT IS SAID THEY SURPASS MEN CATCHING SHOPLIFTERS. - IN Iss Apt to Be Recognized bj Those Who Visit the Bis Stores to Steal A System , Much In Favor With the Bis; Boston Business Houses. An admirable female detective sys tem is in vogue in a number of the lead ing dry goods houses of this city. It has been proved beyond a doubt that the female thief catcher is more effective in the unveiling of shoplifters than the most sagacious sleuth in the secret service department of the city of Boston. Thief catchers like the veteran Joe' Knox, for instance, cannot ply their vocation with1 any degree of suc oess for any length of time in a large and flourishing dry goods house. This is because of the fact that their identi ties beoomo known to the dry goods thief after a time, and it goes without saying that the shoplifter will not begin' operations until all danger of discovery from that quarter has passed away. The professional shoplifter is as familiar with the figure of the inspector as she is with her own likeness. For this reason unassuming and unsophisticated maid ens are put on the qui vive to ferret out wily rshoplifters and -bring them to speedy retribution. The girls assigned to prosecute detective ' labor are well adapted for the work mapped out for them. The superintendent or chief floor walker is pretty certain to select a girl with accomplishments befitting the de teotive. If she is lacking in acuteness and fails to perform her work satisfac torily, another is substituted in her stead and the benighted one is given a posi tion in the store. Nor does the competent detective de pend entirely upon her wits in deter mining who is a shoplifter and who is not She is generally a reader of char acter and is yery apt to Ascertain by a study of a face whether its owner is a designing person or not The shoplifter often exoites the suspicion of the spot ter the moment she enters the store. There are certain airs of uneasiness in her deportment that oatch the prac ticed eye of the young sleuth at onca Women who invade dry goods houses for the purpose of larceny have not the fullest confidence in their dexterity to purloin an article from the counter without exciting suspicion. The "pro fessional" never attempts a theft with out first feeling certain that she is not watched, yet it frequently happens that when she is convinced that there is no danger of detection the eyes of the fe male spotter are upon her, and she is trapped in the act Miss Fannie Leahey and Miss Kittie MoNamee are the young detectives who are employed to keep a vigilant lookout for evildoers at a big concern in Pem berton square, and very watchful and conscientious detectives they are, as their efficient services distinctly show. Miss MoNamee is a modest little girl of 17 years, with jet black hair and cheeks like a blush rose, and is considered the most prepossessing girl in the business. Her partner, Miss Leahey, is an attract ive blond, with a natty figure. Each has her own district to patrol daily, but sometimes both can be seen in deep con versation in the little office on the Pem- berton square side. The most cautious shoplifter would fail to detect in the demeanor of the twain the nature of their calling, and thus it is they are able to expose more wrongdoing in the store than any of the inspectors at po lice headquarters. When a shoplifter is caught dead to rights, she is asked if she will not "pay for the articles" stolen. This interroga tory is merely made in order to elicit an admission of guilt from the thief. She is then taken to the office to await the arrival of an inspector from police headquarters. If she has the appearance of a woman of means, she can easily procure bail and thus escape the pain and dejection of a night in prison. In speaking of her experience, Miss MoNamee says that a large percentage of shoplifters are women of good fam ilies and comparatively well off in worldly goods. "We have to watch pretty carefully to catch the professional shoplifter, " she began. "You jee, they are up to all sorts of chicanery and can easily hood wink the salesgirl, who may be busy with half a dozen customers atthe same time. You would never believe, to see those women on the street in all their finery, that they would steaL Some of the shoplifters are born thieves. They haunt the dry goods houses and steal ev ery time they get a chanca You may not believe it, but I can tell at first glance the woman who comes here to steal deliberately. "Her eyes are a sure index to her thoughts, and when you see a woman glancing searchingly about her you can depend upon it thatishe means to steal. Women with an untroubled conscience do not act in this way. " There are three detectives in one store, and still the pilfering of the firm's property goes on from day to day. There is the woman who carries off artioles in a closed umbrella, and there is the woman who manages to convey property to a neatly arranged re oeptacle in her under dress lining. To be on to these tricks the female detective must be ever on the alert and nip the thief on the fly. There are a thousand and one devices performed by: shoplift ers, but not one is unknown to1 the cun ning spotter. Then, again, the female detective officiates as a sort of forewoman over the employees. They are certainly looked upon as superiors by the girls. yet it is not known that vthey ever re ported any inattention on. the part of employees to customers. It (has been al ways their policy to prefer charges only when the evidence is very strong, for if their claim is not sustained trouble fol lows. It is olaimed that it has never oc curred that the detectives were in fault in accusing a person of theft Bostoo Traveller. -L. Douglas S 3 SHOE FIT FOR A KINS, j ST.

A party of horse racing followers were standing in Willard's lobby when a tall, soldierly looking man with white hair and snowy mustache and imperial strode in and advanced to the clerk's desk; "See that feller?" said one of the elderly men in thegroup. "That's Lucky Jack Doty. Never hear of him? Well, he's got a story that is worth knowin. Thirty years ago there wasn't a higher roller in the south. His people had died out ono by ono till only a sis ter was left, and Jack and her had loads of money and lots of negroes. She got religion tho worst way and all of a sudden went into a convent. "As I said, Jack was a high roller, but he'd kept within bounds up to that time. When tho girl had left the world, as they call it. Jack was crazy. He was devoted to her, in spite of his runnin around, andlio just cut loose and raised a fog. He played the limit, and it wasn't long before the brace players had layouts fixed for him in every town he struck. His money went and his negroes, too, and the time came when he didn't havo the price of a shoestring. He drifted np to Memphis one night broke and desperate. He went into a farrer bank and watched the gamo for awhile, but he didn't get a nod whore not long before the negroes used to break their necks to shove a chair right in front of tho layout for him. "Old man Galloway had a farrer streak on him that night and was playin blues at a hundred a stack. Jack sat down near him and seemed to flustrate the old man, because he bet 19 chips on a double seven and got split. He was madder'n a hornet, irat he laughed just the same and said to Jack as he handed over tho split check to him: " 'I reckon ydu want a stake and made me bet odd chips. Seo what you can do with that. ' "Jack grabbed the 02.50 like a hun gry man catchin a bulf and shot, it into the square. The king won on the turn. Then the deuce won twice. Jack let the $20 lay. The deuce won again. Then the king won twice, and then the deuce won again. Neither tho que6n or ace had showed, but tbo $320 in blue chips were still untouched. The dealer thought he had a cinch ' and never spoke about the $200 limit The queen won on the turn. '"Draw down to $200,' said the dealer, and Jack took $440 away. Well, the last king and all tho queens and aces won, and Jack had $200 on every one. He kept on playin and turned the box down and carried off the $7,000 bank roll with him about daybreak. He got the blue split he had started on and had a hole bored in it and put-it on the chain of the watch he bought next day. He went to New Orleans and won $60, -000 in five weeks. Then he went on a bank breakin trip up the river, and he reached St. Louis in the spring of 1869 worth $200,000 in solid cash. He was oomin out of a farrer bank the day after he got there when a little woman dressed like a sister came up to him. " 'Jack,' she said, 'gimme that thing you've got on your watch chain and hang this there instead, ' and she held out a little medal. He broke the blue split off and took the medal and put it on. There were 20 crooked games fixed for him in St Louis, but he never played against farrer again. Ho wears that little medal yet!" When Doty came out a few minutes later, half a dozen pair of eyes searched his vest Dangling from the heavy gold chain that crossed it was the little medal. Washington Star. Theology tLn1 Politics. The Worcester Gazette says that " in 1843, when the Millerites predicted that the world was surely coming to an end before the close of the year, and many worthy men and women so ear nestly believed in the prediction that they prepared their ascension robes, political feeling was running high among the more worldly minded. One day two devout Millerites and a stanch old Whig politician were passengers in a stagecoach in one of the sections of New Hampshire not then reached by railroad. As was natural, the Millerites fell to discussing the expected approaching destruction of the world, -and one of them, turning to the politician, said solemnly, "My friend, did you know that before another month is passed the great Jehovah will have returned to reign on earth forever?" The politician drew an old leather pocKetDooK rrom his trousers, and after deliberately tak ing account of the contents turned to the Millerite and said, with great warmth and earnestness, "I'll bet you $10 that the New Hampshire delegation don't vote for him." The discussion ended right there. Douglass and the Negro. Douglass had no patience with negroes who bemoaned their hard fate as settled by the color of their skin, or who look ed to the interposition of laws as their only means of being socially uplifted He used to preach the gospel of labor and money making. In a lecture deliv ered to the negroes of Staunton, Va., several years ago, he expressed his re speot for their religions aspirations, but urged them not to trust altogether to prayer, but to go to work honestly, sys tematically and conscientiously. He himself, he said, had prayed for three long years' that freedom might come to him, but it never came until prayers got down into his legs and carried him away. He did not approve any "exodus" of the colored race from the south either, but said: "Stay where you are, and so conduct yourselves that men will be bound to respect you. Work with head and hands. Seek to acquire knowledge as well as property, and in time you may have the honor of going to con gress, for, If the negro can stand con gress, congress ought to be able to stand the negro."

If the professional or the business man should undertake to put upon his library shelves the special treaties, which would cover as wide a range of topics as those gathered in the Bri tannica, relating to his own pursuits, his purchases would extend over scores of volumes, some of them rare and expensive, and many of them not brought down to date. Of all the works of reference now in the market, the Encyclopaedia Britannica is not only the most com prehensive, but by far the cheapest, even at The STAR will for a short time furnish this great work in Cloth bind ing at $1.60 per volume; in fuil sheep at $2.20 per volume, and will deliver the whole set upon payment of $5 cash, giving you long time to pay the balance. The purchase of any Encyclopae dia short of the best is not only bad judgment, but worse economy. The STAR will furnish you this, the greatest literary production of the century, at one-third the former price and on terms so accommodat ing that none need deny themselves the great advantage of owning this mine of information. Remember that the present is the only time we can call our own. "We reserve the privi lege of withdrawing this offer at any time. It is made as a favor to the STAR'S readers, and for the purpose of increasing our circulation. You are invited to call and. examine the books, or send us your address for further particulars. Out of town subscribers can order by mail, and the books will be sent prepaid. Tie Oripal Price of $8 Per Yotoe. Heretofore this work could be ob tained only at a great cost from $125 to $200. It is now, for the first time, placed within reach of the masses. A saving of only 15 cents a day gives you this never-failing foun tain of knowledge. Is it not worth such a slight effort to obtain it? i The Star Britannica Department, 9 and 11 Princess Street, Wilmington, N. C. Mortgage Sale.
