MINTED HOUSE WILL BE RAZED TO FIND GHOST

ELKHART, Ind., July 11. The haunted rectory of Elkhart Is to bo razed. This building, the property of St. John'a Episcopal church, is in good condition, but haa been unused tor many years. The strange storieB told by many persons who have stay ed all night in it have frightened all occupants away. Now, although they do not admit it is haunted, the vestrymen, have decided to tear it down Ghost Frightens Woman. The last occupant was Rev. W. W. Daup and wife. Mrs. Daup was driven almost to nervous prostration by the stalking of the alleged ghost. So severely shaken was her nervous system that the belief that a ghost really haunted the house became general and no one would occupy it. Many persons have entered the rectory to remain all night within Us bare walls and prove to the populace that the ghost theory was foolish. Some have remained all night and said they heard nothingothers have come out of the house, shaking with fright, declaring - they heard strange, noises, that electric lights were turned off and on and that bed clothes mysteriously disappeared. Spirit Belongs to Girl. A spiritualistic medium was once prevailed on to enter the rectory. The next morning she announced that the ghost was the spirit of a young girl who had committed suicide in the house while her father was rector. Many old residents recalled the suicide and the belief in the ghost grew Btronger. Workmen will examine the walls" carefully when they tear the building down to find out if any peculiarity in the construction of the building could have caused strange noises at night.

The Woman on the Cross The half naked troglodyte stalked forth from! his cave in search of a mate. He clubbed her into submission. When she proved untrue the remedy was easy, for she was the weaker. He killed her. Civilized man stalks his mate by cajolery and many promises. When she proves untrue, he slays hen He does not cleave her with a stone hatchet, as did the troglodyte. Civilization has devised more .subtle methods. He makes of her an outcast ; he tears her own flesh and blood from her arms; he turns a deaf ear 'to the agonized cry of motherhood robbed of its young; he crucifies her on the cross of convention. It matters not that he himself has sinned. tThe woman is the weaker aijl she must pay. 1 But must she alone pay? This question now is stirring the civilized world. Every woman is vitally interested; it is a potent forceiin the life of every man. "That Sort," Essanay's five act feature, deals with just such a problem. Warda Howard depicts the agonies of the woman on the cross with a dramatic intensity that strikes straight to the heart. She is ably supported by Duncan McRae, Ernest Maupain and John Lorenz.
