Olive Harper's Experiences in a New Yerk Hotel. Tn the latter part of April, 1873, I went to the Metropolitan hotel in New York, which ts sit- uated at the corner of Broadway and Prince streets, and was assigned to room “242." This Toom fronted on Prince street and was about 10 feet wide by 15 long, with an alcove for the bed adjoining the main hail. while a farrow hall led from the main hall to the room by the side of the aleove. Iam thus particular in describing the room because it has a direct bearing upon the story I shall relate. The room has but one window and beside that is the fireplace, and both togethar take up the entire wail space. An old-fashioned bureau stood by the window on the left hand on enter- ing thercom. A stationary wash-stand, with a movabie gas burner above, was placed between the bureau and the door leading into the little ball. 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-chairs and two plain chairs also stood about. On the right-hand side of the room was a wardrobe near the foot of the bed, just out- side the alcove, and between that and the fire- place was a lounge. This completed the furn- ishing of the room. I had arrived from a railroad foaries and was very tired, but in superb health. I never was one likely to induige in vision; and wish it distinctly understood that Iam not a spiritual- ist,and do not believe in spiritual manifestations in anyway. I relate what I bave to say just as it happened, leaving the explanation to any one who can explain it, T arrived, as I say, and was given this room. I had my dinner served in the room, and sat there unfil nearly midnight wriing 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 material 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 windowblind slatwork over the head of the bed for air. [left the gas turned up slightly, and the little table bv the side of the station- ary 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 bya bad conscience or digestion, I went to sleep almost as soon as I was comfortably settled in bed, and [ do not know how long I slept. Sud- deniy I awoke and sat bolt upright in bed, and saw two men in the room. The light was bright, and they were seated at the right-hand side of the room at the foot of 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 playingeuchre. I heard no words, but knew it waseuchre, because I under- stand that game fairly well myself. He who was sitting, or rather reclining, onthe sofa was a delicate-looking man, like one in poor health, and he was dressed in alight suit of clothes. He had thin, redish hair and straggling beard. His forehead was unusually broad and high, and the rest of his face was so thin that the pointed beard gave him a peculiar look. His hands were long and thin, and his left wrist was misshapen, as if it had once been broken and badly set. ‘The other man was stout, dark, with piercing black eyes,and eyebrows which seemed to stand out straizht. His hair was straight and thick and very black and shining. His moustache was thick and drooping. At one corner of the mouth—I can't remember which—was a little scar like the letter V in shape, and his face and chin had that peculiar blue tinge that some dark men have when newly shaved. He was hand- some, withal. He was dressed in dark clothing. They played out one hand ang had played one trick on the next, when I noticed they seemed angry and quarreling, though I heard no sound, and in an instant the dark man quickly drew a knife and stabbed the other in the left breast. The kn‘“e penetrated to the very hilt. He shiv- ered a little, his eyea closed, and he was dead. ‘Then the other one rose and lifted up the inert right arm and drew it forward, and clasped the hand around the handle of the knife, and pushed the table closer until it held theelbow of the dead man in such a position as would keep the arm from falling again. Then he gathered up the cards, put them iuto his pocket, took up his hat, and in an instant the whole scene had dis- appeared, and I fell back in the bed and knew no more until morning. I might give along description of my terrors and work up a thrilling tale, but as Iam simply narrating facts I must say that 1 was uot fright- ened. I was more surprised than anything eke, and the whole took place sosuddenly that I had not time to get frizhtened until it was all over, and when I awoke in the morning it had almost iets experiences,though none hadseen what A Catholic priest published an article relating te it, and accorfhting for it all by saying that he believed that the man had been murdered and that the assassin was still living, and that, as a punishment for his crime, he was obliged to enact it every night in snirit while asleep, and that it was a well known fact that one mind had influenced over another toa greater or less ex- tent. and that his mind during its free moments had forced mine to behold the tragedy. Some of the newspapers suggested that it was the ghost of Tammany; others declared it Bill Tweed, and some ridiculed the whole affair. a the little table there came an invisible shower of apparently heavy articles down on the table, scattering the cards rightand left. Another man had had pecaliar, but not startling, experi- ences there. Several years have passed since that time,and Thad almost forgotten that had ever written or seen anything, when about two months since the 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, asif a cold hand was touching me and leading me forward. A few steps further took me toward a lady of graceful mien and figure, who was standing by the side of a gentleman whose tace and figure seemed strangely familiar to me. I caught his look, which was fixed upon me, and he drew his lips back in an attempt to smile, which was 80 ghastly a sight that all who saw it shuddered, and then he fell to the ground dead. Of course everything was done that could be done to restore him, but uselessly. and the doc- tors said he died inafit. I 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 pallor of death, though she did not faint or cry when they said he was dead. I took her hand and asked her it she was able to give orders, and asked what could be done for her. She replied wearily but simply, “nothing.” She would have the body taken to an undertaker’s sna buried from there, and then she would go jome. I turned to go and gave her my card, saying that I should be but too happy to be of service, and started out; but as my eyes fell upon the face of the dead man I saw, with a shock that 1 fear I shall never forget, that it was the mur- acre of my vision, without any shadow of joubt. The next day brought me a package by post, in which was a pack of cards and @slip of paper, on which was written: “It isall over now, and the unhappy sight you were forced to witness has wrought its result. The man you saw die yesterday slew his half-brother for a fancied wrong, the pretext of a quarrel at cards being a subterfuge. As soon as my husband knew that his brother had not supplantea him in his father’s affections he became the victim of a remorse as terrible as imagination could paint. His father became almost a maniac when he heard of his younger son's supposed suicide, and as my husband dared not own himself a murderer to that poor old father, he suffered such tortures as you can imagine. He was a man of powerful will and could control himself while awake, but as soon as he would sleep it seemed as it his will escaped from his body and seemed to fly through space, and no matter where we were—and we traveled everywhere— he would return in spirit, to that fatal room. He told me all, and I loved him well enough to love him still and to pity him infinitely, and of all he ever saw, you and one other woman were all to whom he could ever show the tragedy plainly. He has told me that sometimes in his affied 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 con- vinced the father that his beloved son had not been guilty of self-destruction, but he never dreamed of suspecting his elder son, 80 that he died content. We were on our way to Savan- nah, where we both were born. nd you this to thank you, and to ask you to publish it, as @ true story which may work good among pas- sionate ones who let unreasoning anger and suspicion have their sway. You will not see me age Before you receive this I shali have joined my dear husband. Perhaps God will be merciful to him: in pity for his suffering. Good- by.” The That was all. No address; no name. papers next day recorded the death of an un- known woman ata lodging-house. She was buried from the money found on her person. At the 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 such a thing could be I should be glad to know it. Inthe mean- time I assure such persons as may read this that every word written in this story is acta- ally true, as far as Iam concerned, and as for passed from my mind, as I thought it but a dreain. But when I rose and went into the room I saw that the table stood by the side of the lounge and all my photographs and papers were on the bureau. Still I did not attach ofthe skirt in the back, attached to the waist- bansl.

That night I was roused in precisely the same manner as before, and I saw the same thing precisely. In the morning the table stood by the sofa again, and all the things that had been on it were on the bureau. This surprised me a good deal, and I must confess ¢o feeling a little “‘crawly” about it; still much occupation during the day almost effaced the impression before night. The third evening I spent with some friends. and returned at about 11 o'clock, and almost immediately retired, to go through ex- actly the same experience; and then in reality I began to feel uncomtortable and not to care about going to bed. I determined to fix things 80 that nobody could move that table. I did not believe in supernataral agency, and I took a rope that had been around my trunk and tied that table fast to the leg of the bureau, and tied more knots than I could have untied in half an hour, piled some things on the top and went to bed leaving the gas fully turned on. I awoke next morning after having been the unwilling witness of ital! again, and the rope lay on the floor and all the things with it. I declared to myself that I would not sleep i in that room another nist, though I did not think its had anything to do with it, 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 the housekeeper. So Katy did. and the honsekeeper came down. I had ‘a conversa- tion with her and asked her if any one had ever | complained in any way of that room. She hes- itated, 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 bight I determined not to fall asleep at all, and so I sat up reading, or rather trying to read, until nearly 12, and then 1 did not feel quite as though I wanted to remain in the same room, and { desired as much protec- tion as the alcoye room would give, though there were but curtains to separate the rooms, So I sat up in bed there for about half an hoar. All in an instant the whole thing was before me aain. and I did feel somewhat queer and chilly, Sut T watched the progress of the whole tragedy again, aad, as 1 decided, for tie last time. As soon as was feasible in the morning I sent for Mr. Adams, the clerk, to come up, and asked him if he would tell me whether any murder had ever been committed in that room, and he declared there had not; but when I insisted on finding out whether a tragedy of any kind had been enacted there, he admitted that once a man had committed suicide in that room. He | had been sick and was despondent, and 60 had taken his life. Ifelt sure, then, and told him go, that that man had been murdered, and under just such circumstances as [ had seen. Mr. Adams could not give the details of the position ot the body of the supposed suicide. I was then assigned to another room. and as Jong as I remained I saw no more of my ghostly Vision. I promised Mr. Adams to say nothins about it, not that we belleved 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 throuzn New York, and had almost for- gotten the whole affair. Atter several year: residence in America again, and after trayel- ing the whole length and breadth of our coun- try twice, it is quite natural to suppose that I should have forgotten all about it. One day I was writing a very lively, sprightly letter, and feeling in particularly good spirits, when all at once I pushed aside that letter, and drawing other paper toward me wrote ont a simple his- tory of that affair, just as it was, and mailed it to the New York Sun. They took only time to verify what they could of thestory and published it. It made considerable stir, and rej visited the room and interviewed Mr. who admitted all that is here told; and also added that he felt itive that I was perfectl: sincere and h and a particularly level headed person, and one not given to any of the fallacies of spiritualism, and that he did not doubt that I saw everything as I sald. He had had one or two persons who desired to leave that room, bat-he did not know He would not be afraid to sleep there, but never had done so. Then several persons who had occu; that began to be heard frou, all reletiog: Toom the rest, I believe it, though I cannot under- stand it. ———— + GIRL BARBERS. The Latest Thing in Shaving and Hair Dressing. From the New York Sun, It was rumored in Wall street yesterday that four women were shaving customers in a barber- shop in the neighborhood. Two curious men with clean-shaven faces mussed their hair with their hands, and sneaked Into the hall-way of a Broad street building when they thought they were unobserved. There was a black and gold sign under the windows of the second floor, reading, ‘Hairdressing and machine shaving.” The barber shop was on the second floor, front. Four neatly upholstered barber chairs stood in front of a long black-walnut sideboard. The fixings were like those of other barber shops. Two young women stepped forward. Their fair hair was frizzed, and neatly fitting dresses showed their trim figures to advantage. They were modest in their language and conduct. ‘The two visitors sat in chairs and grinned while their hair was dressed. The girls brushed the hair, rubbed bay rum on it, parted it neatly in the middle, turned up love locks on the sides, and whisked off the aprons. The next customer was a stubble-bearded truckman who had been attracted by the sign. He was rather confused when the girls offered to shave him, but he submitted with a good grace. The girls used what is called a safety razor. It is an gblong piece of sharpened steel, with the razor edge protected by a steel comb. A young man dropped in during the afternoon and seated himself nervously ina chair. One of the girls tucked a napkin under his chin and ken the ends of the towel down the back of is-neck. She lathered his face gently, and tried to keep out of his line of sight. Then she drew the razor over his face, and was troubled by the wrinkles made by his grin. She bathed his face in bay rum, powdered his chin, and brushed his hair. Areporter of the Sun questioned the girls, and they said they had obtained the situation by answering an advertisement for operators on a machine. There had been many applications, but only four girls had been selected, two fair- haired and two dark. The latter are to begin work to-day. Al last week they took lessons in shaving and hairdressing, and prac- tised on the head of the Spanish proprietor: They are dressmakers by trade. a A Duel About Mrs, Frank Leslie. Paris Correspondence London Globe. On Tuesday morning the Marquis de Leuville, whose name I had occasion to mention last week, fought a duel on the Belgian frontier with a nobleman who was supposed to be Lord Anglesey. The Marquis de Leuville’s real ad- versary was Count Almensegg, well known in [282 Paris and London society, aud an assiduous fre- quenter of the German ‘baths, where high play prevails in private, if not in public. Whatever may be stated to the contrary, the quarrel that led to an encounter was bap apes one, though both parties would wish it to ap- ear so. It arose from the name of a fair American being taken in vain by Count Almensegg. The combatants met near the Belgian town of Furnes, The Mar- quis’ seconds were MM. Rodocanachi and Vavas- sour; the Count'e were two Englis! Messrs. Howard and Vauchan. Atter some splendid fencing on both sides, M. de Leuville wounded his 9) pear inthe arm. The latter was con- veyed to Furnes, to an inn that bears the un- mistakable English sign of “Ye Red Rose,” and shows still traces of the architecture that cb- tained in the days of York and wars, The former proceeded to Bor , whence he crossed over to England. The Marquis de-Leu- ville is an Angio-! and one of the best known shots allover the world. He was to have married Mrs. Frank Leslie. The match has been broken off us differences. ————— +7.
