IDOL HAS BAD REPUTATION Guatama Figure, Made of Carvtd Teak, Oaid to Walk Around the Houia at Night. London. —For months paat the at tendants in the Indlam section of the Victoria and Albert museum hare kept observing eyes on a weird look ing Guatama Buddha figure, which en tered the museum a year ago with a sinister reputation. A lady sold It to the museum autborltiea on account of its supposed uncanny ways in her house. So far the figane, which Is made of carved teak and stands seven feet high, has exhibited no signs of unrest In its new home, but the at tendants, primed with a knowledge of its past record, have not yet relaxed their attention. Its history, so far aa he knows it. WSB related recently by C. Btanley Clarke, tbe officer in charge of the In dian section. "The lady from whom we purchased it," he said, "told me that it belonged to her father, a aea captain, who acquired it In lower Bur ma about 1853. He sailed with it for England. Near Liverpool the tship caught Are and tbe superstitious sail ors, believing the Baddha to be the cause, threw it overboard. "The ship was brought safely to harbor. Boon ufter the Buddha wash ed ashore near tbe vessel. The cap tain succeeded after great difficulty in satisfying the authorities that tbe figure belonged to him. "When he died it passed to bis daughter. Then the trouble began. Everybody in her house, she told me, had become frightened of tbe Buddha. Tbe servants stated that at night it walked about tbe house; friends who stayed with her declared that Its eyes haunted them and at times appeared to move. Her children were scared out of their wits. She was therefore compelled to part with It its be havior here, however, has so far been exemplary." WOMAN REFUSES HER LEGACY Fiancee of New York Man Turn/ •20,000 Over to Heira-at- Law. Newburg, N.
