MYSTERY OF THE METROPOLITAN.

Olive Harper In Springfield Republican. ID the latter part of April, 1873,1 went to the Metropolitan Hotel in New York, which is situated at tbe corner of Broadway and Prince street, and was assigned to room "242." This room fronted on Prince street, and was about ten feet wide by tifteen long, witb an alcove for tbe bed adjoining the main ball, wbile a narrow ball led from the (Bain ball to tbe room by the

Hide

of tbe aloove. I am thus

particular in describing tbe room because it bas a direct bearing upou tbe story I shall relate.

Tbls room has but one window, and beside that is the fireplace, and both together take up tbe entire wall space. An old-fashioned bureau stood by the window on tbe left band on entering the room. A stationary wash-stand, witb movable gas burner above, was placed between tbe bureau and the door leading into the little bail. A rather faded Brussels carpet covered the floor, and a small oval marble-topped table stood in the center of the room. A couple of easy •hairs and two plain chairs also stood about. Ou tbe ngbt band side of tbe room was a wardrobe, near tbe foot of the bed, just outaide tbe alcove, and between that and tbe fire-place was a lounge. This completed tbe furnishing of tbe room.

I bad arrived from a railroad journey, and was very tired, but in superb health./ I never wan one likely to indulge in vision and I wish it distinctly understood that I am not a spirtualist, and do not believe in spiritual manifestations in any Way. 1 relate wbat I have to say just as it happened, leaving the explanation to an one wbo can explain it.

I arrived, as I say, and was given this room. I had my dinner served in the room, and sat there until nearly midnight, writing letters, and then calling the bell boy and giving him the letters, I closed and locked the outer hall door, and then the inner one, and after looking at several photographs of friends, I left them and my writing materials on the table and went to bed, first assuring myself that there was no possibility of any one entering the room by the window. There were no transoms, only a sort of window blind slat work over the head of the bed for air. I left the gas turned up slightly, and the little table by the side of the stationary wash stand, where I had drawn it for the sake of light, there being no other burner in the room.

Being very healthy, tired, and not troubled with a bad conscience or digealion, I went to sleep almost as soon as I was comfortably settled in tbe bed, and

ENS

do not kuow how long I slept. Suddenly I awoke and sat bolt upright in bed, and saw two men in tbe room. Tbe light was bright and they were seated at tbe right-band side of the room at tbe foot or my bed. One was on the sofa and the other on a chair, and the little marble* topped table was between them, and on this table they were playing eucnre. I heard no words, but I knew it was euchre, because I understand that game fairly well myself.

He who was sitting, or rather reclining, on the sofa was a delicate looking man. like oue in poor health, and he was dressed in alight suit of clothes. He had thin reddish hair and straggling beard. His forehead was unusually broad and high, and tbe rest of his face was so tbin that tbe pointed beard gave bim a peculiar look. His hands were long and tbin, and bis left wrist was mishapen, as if it had once been broken and badly set.

The other man was stout, dark, with piercing black eyes, and eyebrows wbich seemed to stand out atraiitht. His hair was straight and thick and very black and shining. His mustache was thick and drooping. At one corner of his mouth—I cairt remember which—was a little scar like the letter in shape, and his face and chin had that peculiar blue tinge that some dark men have when newly shaved. He was handsome, withal. He was dressed In dark clothing. They played out one band, and had played one trick on tbe next, when I noticed they seemed angry ana quarreling, though I beard no sound, and in an instant the dark man drew a knife and subbed tbe other in the left breast. The knife penetrated to the very hilt. He shivered a little, his eyes closed, and he was dead. Then the other one rose and lifted up tbe inert right arm and drew it forward, and clasped the hand around the handle of the knife, and pushed the table o'oser uutil it hela the elbow of the dead man iu such a position as would keep the arm from falling again. Then he gathered up the bards, put them into his pocket, took up his hat, and in an instant the whole scene disappeared, and I fell back In the bed and kuew no more until morning. might give along description of my terrors aud work op a thrilling tale, but as 1 am simply narrating facts I must s»y that I was not frightened. I was more surprised than anything else, and tbe whole took place so suddenly that I had not time to get frightened uniil it Was all over, and when I awoke in tbe morning, it had almost passed from my mind, as I thought It but a dreara. But when I rose and went into tbe room I taw that the table stood by tbe side of the lounge and all my photographs and papers were on the bureau. Still I did not attach great importance to that even, as I had walked in my sleep when I was young, and in the press of business the Mpxt day it went entirely out t*f my mind. r? ,\t "tight wis aroused to jpreciseJy ir.' en.- manner a* before, and I a»w tbe sam thing practsety.

I speat with some friends

and returned a aixnt It o'clock, and al

tnoet Immediately retired, to go though

exactly the same experience and then in reality I began to feel uncomfortable, and did not care about going to bed. determined to fix things so that nobody could move that table.

Idid not beSeve

in supernatural agency, and I took a rope that had been around my trunk and tied that1 table f&st to the leg of the bureau, atad tied more knots than I conld have nntied in half an hour, piled some things on tbe top and went,to bed. leaving the gas fully turned on. tawoae the next morning after having been the unwilling witness of it all again, and the rope lay on tbe floor and all the tbingB with it.

I declared to myself that I would not sleep In that room another night, though 1 did not think spirits had anything to do with it. I called a chambermaid and asKed her if she could not sleep in the room with me. She said that was against the rules, but that she would speak to tbe housekeeper. So Katy did, and the housekeeper came down. I had a conversation with her and asked her if anyone bad ever complained in any way of that room. She hesitated, and finally said that a sick lady once had insisted on being changed to another room,, but did not offer any explanations. I did not either, but decided not to give up without one more trial, and this nigbt I determined not to fall asleep at all, and so I sat up reading, or rather trying to read, until nearly twelve, and then I didn't feel quite as though I wanted to remain in tbe same room, and I desired as much protection a-i tbe above room would give, thougl there were but curtains to separate tni rooms.

So 1 set up in the bed there for about half an hour. All iu an instant the whole thing was before me again, and 1 did feel somewhat queer and chilly, but I watched the progress of tbe whole tragedy again, and, as I decided for the last time.

As soon as was feasible in the morning 1 sent for Mr. Adams, the clerk, to come up, and asked bim if be would tell me whether any murder bad ever been committed in that room, aud he declared there had not but when 1 insisted on finding out whether a tragedy of any kind bad been enacted there, be admitted that once a man bad committed suicide in that room. He had been sick and was despondent, and so bad taken his life.

I felt sure, then, and told him so, that that man bad been murdered,and under just such circumstances as 1 had seen. 'Mr. Adams could not give the details of the position of the body of tbe supposed suicide.

I was then assigned to another room, and as long as I remained I saw no more of my ghostly vision. I promised Mr. Adams to say nothing about it, not that we believed in ghosts, either of us, but for the hotel's sake, and I went my way to Europe after a few days, and remained there some years. On my return, I simply passed through New York, and had almost forgotten the whole affair. Atter several years' residence in America again, and after traveling the whole leugtb and breadth of our country twice, it is quite natural to suppose that I should have forgotten all about it. One day I was writing a very lively, sprightly lettet-, and feeliug in particularly good spirits, when all at once I pushed aside that letter, and drawing other paper toward me wrote out a simple history of that affair, just as it was, and mailed it to tbe New York Sun. They took only time to vertify what they could of the story and published it. It made considerable stir, aud reporters visited the room aud interviewed Mr. Adams, who admitted all that is here told, and also added that he felt positive that I was perfectly sincere ana honest, and a particularly level-headed person, and one not given to any of tbe fallacies of spiritualism, and tb«t he did not doubt that I saw everything as I said. He had bad one or two persons who desired to leave tbat room, but he did not know why. He would not be afraid to sleep there, but never had done so. Then several rsons wbo h&d occupied that room gan to be heard from, all relating different experiences, though none had seen what I had.

A Catholic priest published an article relating to it, aud accounting for it all by saying that be believed tbat the iran had been murdered and that the assassin ftas still living, and that, as a punishment for bis crime, he was obliged to enact it every nigbt in spirit while asleep and that it was a well-known fact thut one mind had Influence over another to greater or less extent, and that bis mind during its free moments bad forced mine to behold the tragedy.

Some of the newspapers suggested that it was tbe ghost or Tammany others declared it Boss Tweed, and some ridiculed the whole attair.

An English sea captain also published his experience while occupying that room. He had been playing cards with a friend, and while at the little table there came an invisible shower of apparently heavy articles down on the table, scattering the cards right and left. Another man had had peculiar, but not startling, experiences there.

Several years have passed since that time, and 1 bad almost forgotten tbat I had ever written or seen anything, when about two months since tne whole was brought to my mind by a strange and shocking incident.

I was walking along one of the busiest streets in New York, and it was very hot, and I did not wish to get unnecessarily heated, when I became aware of an uncomfortable sensation, as if a cold band was touching me and leading me forward. A few steps further took me toward a lady of graceful mien aud figure, who was standing beside a gen tieman whose face and figure seemed strangely familiar to me. I caught his look, w&ch was fixed upon me, and he drewhislips back in an attempt to smile, which was so ghastly a sight that alt who saw it shuddered, and then he fell to the ground dead.

Of course everything was done that could be done to restore htm, but uselessly, and the doctors said he died in a fit. 1 was the only other woman present, and, as such, I felt it a duty to stay by the woman, who seemed to be stricken with a palor of death, though she did not faint or cry when they said he was dead. I took her band and asked her if she was able to give orders, and asked wbat could be done for her. She replied wearily but simply, "nothing." She would have the body taken to-an undertakers and buried from there, and then she would go home.

I turned to go and gave her my card, staying that I should be but too happy to be of service, and started out but as my eyes Ml upon the face of the dead man. I saw, with a shock tbat I fear I shall never forget, that it was the murderer of my vision, without any shadow of doubt.

The next day brought me a package by post, In which was a pack of card* and a slip of paper, on which was written: "It Is all over now, and the unhappy sight you were forced to witness has wrooght it* result.* The man you saw ^lie yesterday slew bis hatf-brotber for a fancied wrong, tbe pretext of a quarrel at carda being a oubterfnga.

He was a Jetfan of powerful will, and conld o^ntroiMimselr while awSke, .but aa soon as be fiouldyjeep it seined as if his will escapee fr©tffhiaboJ|r and seemed to fly through space, and no matter where we were—and we. traveled everywhere—be would return in spirit to that fatal zoom. He told me all, and I loved him well enongh to love htm still and, to/pity him indefinitely, and of all he ever saw, you and one other woman were all to whom he could ever show the tradgedy plainly. He has told me that sometimes in his baffled rage he would long to be there in body to be able to kill the sleeper. This other woman died and at last you made public what convinced the father that his beloved son had not been guilty of self-destruction, but he never dreamed of suspecting his elder son, so that he died oontent. We were on our way to Savanab, where we both were born. I send you this to thank you, and to ask you to publish it as a true story which may work good among passionate ones who let unreasoning anger and suspicion have their sway. You will not see me again. Before you receive this I shall have joined my dear husband. Perhaps God will be merciful to bim in pity for his suffering. Good-by."

Tbat was all. No address no name. The papers the next day recorded the death of an unknown woman at a lodg-ing-house. She, was buried from the money found on her person. At tbe same time the corpse of the strange man was also buried by the undertaker. It was a sad and unsatisfactory ending to this singular mystery, in which I was unwillingly made an actor.

If any one can explain how suoh a thing could be I should be glad to know it. In tbe meantime I assure such persons as may read this tbat that every word written in this story is actually true, as far as I am concerned, and as for tbe rest, I believe it, though I cannot understand it.

AND

In human life there are few scenes so trying as a wife begging for money. She is perhaps educated and refined, her husband perchance coarse and tobacco soaked. But he does the outside work. If you have tbe heart, listen: "John, dear, I hate to speak to you about it, but I put it off till I can't put it off any longer." "Well, what is it now? Come, out with it!" "John, dear, don't look so cross, it frightens me."

What are you up to this time? Some more gimuracks?" "No, my dear, I must have a pair of shoes. I took a dreadful oold yesterday from getting my feet wet*"

Well, bow much is it? Five hundred dollars?" "I can get a pair for |3." "What do you get such miserable trash for? The soles are nothing but paper." "If you are willing, John,I can get a splendid pair for six dollars, and they area great deal easier."

Well, there is |2.90 make him throw off the ten cents." This is a faithful report of an actual conversation. It is more exasperating than the violence of a drunken brute.

Talk of economy! The men of America waste more money on tobacco and drink in one day than our women waste on all their appetites in a year. A few women spend a good deal on dress but outside a limited class, women spend less even on dress, than men.

A great many wives are treated so like children that' they have children's notions about money. They have no idea of its value. But let the husband fully explain his financial condition to bis mate then let him place his money in a drawer, and give her a duplicate key, telling her with convincing sincerity that all his spare cash will be placed there in other words, let him take her into full and loving confidence, and be will be astonished and touched by her painstaking economy.

We are told tbat thousands of men are ruined by the extravagance of their wives. If we could know the number of men who suffer from tbe extravagance of wives whom tbey have taken into their full confidence, I am satisfied it would turn out to be smaller than the nnmber killed by lightning. Tbe inconceivable stupidity with wbich men managein this business is oneof the marvels of human pig-beadedness.

AND WIVES.

Many husbands, from indifference or indolenoe, allow their wives to manage at home as they please. But the husband who thinks that his wife has the same right to manage his business, is a very rare man. Some men are goodnatured aboufit besides they may think they fare better when they recognise the wife's independent responsibility. Such husbands usually pride themselves upon' their amiability. You will hear them say: "I let her manage pretty muoh as she pleases." To show how that sounds, reverse it. The husband is a builder of houses. The wife says, with a gracious condescension: "Oh I let him manage pretty much as he pleases."

Two men engage in the grocery business. One sells, the other buys, delivers and collects. One does the inside, the other does the outside work. This is a common division of labor. Now imagine one of these men to say: "I manage the outside to suit myself, but I let my partner manage tbe inside pretty much as he pleases." If the partner happen to be a man of spirt, and hears this remark, he will probably make short work of his companion's impudence.

If one of the grocery men were beard pleading with his partner: "Please let me have $5 I promise you I will spen it prudently," the listener woula exclaim: What does it mean? I thought they were partners but I see they are master ana slave, or at the very least employer and small boy."

THE DEATH

ANCES.

I&NG8TON, NOV. 10.'—Ulstercounty,N Y. is just now having quite a sensation in tbe possession of a somewhat marvelous individual redding a few miles from this city who appears to have wbat is known as "second sight. For some time he has been creating great consternation among the farmers over a wide section of the country by his prophecies. He is constantly making predictions of approaching deaths, ana from tbe correctness of all his prophucies thus far he is already becoming an object of aversion, and people dread to have bim about their premises. He frequently seespass before his vision in funeral processions of those who are about to die. This often happens within a week of tbe actual death.' One of his performances is described as follows: He will, while passing along the road, ail of a sudden stop, reverently take off bis hat and appear completely lost in a reverie. When asked wbat he means by tbe strange action, he will say that the funeral of So-and-so-is passing by. Woe to the individual of whom rhis is said, for with in a short time he will furnish work for the undertaker. A few days ago this eccentric individual predicted tne death of a lady prominent in social circles iu this dty. He had known her in childhood, and her immediate disease has been foretold by him the week before she died.

One of the most .striking illustrations of his power of foreseeing death was npted a few weeks ago, and nas gone far and wide over the county. Ihe prophet is a farm laborer, and is employed from time to time on different farms in Ulster county. It was while engaged at work for a certain rich and prominent farmer tbat one day, as the dinner bell rang and the men were called in from the field, he started toward the house, but had not proceeded very far when he suddenly Mood still as a statue and remained utterly motionless and limp. The other farm hands asked him what was the matter, thinking that he had suddenly been taken ill. He, however,witb an air of profound sakness and melancholy, informed them that he (referring to tbe farmer for whom be was working) had always been kind and good to him, and that he did not want tc see him again lace to faes, as he wascertainlygoiug to die within a week. His companions, although well aware of his gift of prophecy, only laughed at bim tor his untimely fears, as the farmer was then hearty and robust and somewhat noted for enjoying the very best of health. The prophet persisted in doing without his dinner that day, and refused again to lay eyes on tbe farmer. Within tne next week the farmer was taken suddenly and alarmingly ill, and before its close W88

dead. The affair created no little excitement at the time, and has been the subject of frexuent talk ever since.

The prophet, who is quite well advanced in years, says that he would give $10,000 if he had it, to be effectually and forever rid of this fearful and unpleasant power of foretelling the death of his friends. It has seriously impaired his health, and at times, for a long period, he finds it utterly impossible to sleep. He is an old bachelor, and spends the most of his spare time reading. He has been foretelling deaths now for a year or two. Aside from this melancholy gift, he is said to be one of the most popular men in his section of the county.

DAVENPORT X/JVG.

FANNY

WREST-

THE ATHLETIC EXERCI8E8 SHE INTRODUCES INTO "FEDORA."

A New York letter in the Albany Journal says that Mautell is a six-foot man, rather slim, but very supple and active, and weigh about 175 pounds. He is 27 years old, and in excellent physical condition. Fanny Davenport is 5 feet 10, of a powerful and shapely build, weighs 180 pounds, and her age—not a point worth deciding in so beautiful a a woman. She bas ridden herself of so much fat that she, too, may be put down as in first rate physical order. You have, no doubt, seen this actress for yourself, and I describe her appearance thus particularly only because I wish to show her as she is now. Physique tells in a wrestling match, such as tbat which I witnessed between Miss Davenport and Mantell. It was a catcb-as-catcb-can encounter, in tbe presence of a thousand spectators. They first grabbed each other around the shoulders and bugged for a few seconds line bears. They then struggled across the stage, bending and writhing with all their might, as though each was trying to bend the other to the floor. The next phase of the contest was an effort on tbe part of Mantell to break away, but he old not free himself from the enveloping arms (they were taperingly covered witb suede gloves reaching to the shoulders) without a persistent use of all his strength. And his freedom was brief. Miss Davenport caught him from behind, lifted him nearly off his feet, and threw him down. First fall for the actress. Both were a good deal winded by the work, but there was half an hour of rest before the next round, and they came up smiling. This bout was brief and scarcely fair, for the man used some violent language that took pluck out of the woman. After five minutes of pulling and hauling over sofas and choirs, she went suddenly into a heap at his feet, clinging wildly to his legs. One fall for Mantell. The wrestlers were short of breath ou facing each other for the third and last round. They clasped round necks and waiats with manifest feebleness, and seemed to mutually lack tbe strength necessary for a decisive effort but at length the man showed a wonderful access of vigor. He seized the woman by the throat, wrenched and flung ber bead this way and that, bent her form backward until it looked like a contortionist's in a difficult feat, and then, quickly pulling ber forward, slammed her on the floor. She lay there an instant, as though stunned. A winning fall for Mantell. But his antagonist went at bim again witb a fury that was aimless and impotent. Then, catching up a glass, she hastily drank the contents. It was drugged with a deadly poi«on. Her hold on Mantell relaxed and she fell on the sofa, tumbled tbence to tbe floor and died. But ber demise does not prevent a repetition of tbe wrestling every evening, for the match Is incidental to the dramatic part of Fedora, which she is now playing. Of course, tbere is dialogue between the characters personated t?y ber and Mantell, but tbe physical portion of their performance bas exactly the aspects of wrestling that I have described. Such an ex pro—ion of emotion boats all that I baveever seen on the stage. If that alh.eUc sort of love making should be adopted in country villages, tbe front gates would inevitably be torn from .their hinges aa though by cyclone*

A HUMAN FIRE.

THE PHENOMENON OK BURNING MINE REPEATED IN THE PHYSICAL SYSTEM. 3 I

A few years ago one of the most Important coal mines in Pennsylvania caught fire. It started slowly brt soon obtained such headway that it spread through the greater portion of the entire mine. To flood it with water would extinguish the fire, but well nigh ruin the mine and still the flames continued to increase. At tbat juncture a young man stepped forward and suggested that all the entrances and vent boles of the

There is but one way by which this fire in the blood can be extinguished, and that is by shutting off the supply of these poisonous acids. The lactic, lithio and uric acids come iu to the blood through the liver and kidneys, and they remain in solution in tbe blood producing inflammatory rheumatism, sciatic, lumbago, neuralgia, gout and all rheumatic fevers and afloctions. When th6y are deposited as gritty crystals In and neai tbe joints, they cause articular rheumatism when in the muscles, muscular rheumatism and lumbago when in the tissues covering tbe nerves, sciatios: when in the face, head and nerves gen erally, neuralgia. In every case they are

fnflammatory

ainful iu mo§t instances, dangerous, rheumatism is likely to locate in some joiutand become chronic, or suddenly attack tbe br«in or heart, causing apoplexy or heart disease. Tbe fire in the blood must be extinguished— the supply must be shut off. This can only be done by guarding the portals to the blood—tbe kidneys and liver: and no means bas ever been found for accomplishing this which can equal Warner's Safe Rhuematic Cure. It acts direct upon the seat of the disorder it extinguishes the fire by the coutrolling the supply and removing the cause.

The well known standing of H. H. Warner & Co., of Rochester, N. Y., the remarkable success which,Warner's Safe Cure has achieved, being indorsed by no less a personage than Dr. Robert A. Gunn, Dean of the United States Medical college, New York, and the fidelity with which they have carried out all their promises to the public, should be a sufficient warrant that the above statements are true. They, however, guarantee to Cure ninety-five per cent. of all rheumatic troubles, especially acute, knowing full well that the demonstrated power of the remedy justifies them in so doing. Nothing can be fairer than this, and those who suffer in the future from rheumatism with such an offer before them, do soon their own responsibility, and csn blame no one if living pain and untimely death are the results.

How it originates, it may be impossible to say but that it burns and rages with an increasing fury, the one who is its victim ouly too painfully knows. Tbe biood is tbe life.
