How the Raléts of the District Have Been Housed for Many Years. ‘The District government has never, since it lett the City Hall, in 1871, owned ahome.

Dr. Huntington and His Work, 4 WORTHY RECORD. ‘The departure of Dr. David L. Huntington and hig interesting family for San Diego, Cal., to which place he has, at his own request, recently been detailed for duty, causes sincere regret throughout their large circle of friends. During his several details in Washington and vicinity, Dr. Huntington has accomplished an amount of work of an enduring quality, which justly enti- Hes him to the highest appreciation, At Soldiers’ Home, his first post here, in addition to the regu- Jar dulies of the surgeon in charge, he supervised, in connection with Dr. Billings, the erection of thé Model hospital; transferred after the death of the lamented Dr, Otis to the city, he was chal with the editorial preparation ‘of the remaining volumes of the great, “Medical and Surgicai His- tory of the War,” Which had been left, unfinished by the untimely death of Dr. Otis; this task was in due time satisfactorily completed; he was then detailed to the office of the surzeon general and putin charge of the executive ‘business of that ‘mice, which position he filled to the entire satis. faction of Ube several surgeons general under whom he has served and of the corps generally. He has also enjoyed the confidence of the several Presidents of the United States who have been in power during his service at the capital. In addition to hts editorial and executive quall- ties Dr. Huntington enjoys the highest reputation among the meibers of bis profession for excep- ‘onal skill, both asa physiclan and surgeon, and has been consiantiy called in consultation by other physicians, Serving through the war on the staffs of Gen. Grant and other leading com- manders, Dr. Huntington 1s well known through Out the army. An honored member of the Cosmos Club, in which he has constanuy held high oftictal position, his departure will by none be more sin- cerely regretted than by its members. ‘The people of San Diego are to be congratulated upon the acquisition of himself and family among their residents, ———— hosts. To the Editor of Tae Evexrse Stal ‘On the 20th of May, 1882, my wife's aunt, sister, and nephew five years old, were walking through Whitney avenue, on their return from the Soldiers’ home, to the Whitney mansion, which we hadthen been occupying ten days. It was 8:40 p.m, twenty-tive minutes after a bright sunset, and not yet dark. Ata distance of about fifty paces they all saw comlug toward them a woman dressed in Diack, without a hat, and with plain collar and cuffs, At first they thought {0 was another sister of my wife coming to meet them, and the little boy cried out, “Aunt Chartie!” But in a moment it was evident that she was not the person. The ‘woman turned to the south side of the lane, and, lifting her skirt as she stepped over the paved gut ter, disappeared behind atree-box. The other two wolnen Were astonished and the boy was puzzled. They all went to the tree-box, and the boy ran around it, saying, “Oh! where has she gone ‘They made no explanation to him, who to this y, perhaps, has never suspected he saw a ghost. T rounger of the two women was greatly agi. tated and could not sleep much that night. She thought tt foreboded some.calamity. ‘I said, Judg- ing from past experience, “Probably it has 10 meaning whatever.” And’ now, after nearly five years nothing has happened, s0'far as any of us OW, as a Consequence of that visitation, ‘The next evening at the same hour, 8: went and examined the spot. Close box there Was an opening in the fence tothe large yasture lot On the south side. ‘The grass W2s not igh, and the only object within a great distance Was a cedar tree ahout 25 fect from the fence, But even that tree, with a truk not more than a foot in diameter and about fifteen feet high to the branches, could not have concealed a woman be- hind it. Furthermore, the two women and the boy could see any moving object through the uy right slats of the fence, and they did look throug] the fence at the moment the woman disappeared behind the tree-box; nor could she have gotten out of sight anywhere when they reached the spot where she vanished. They are all living now tn this city and can attest these facts. The tree has recently been cut down to make way for a new stree! ‘The apparition in this case was certainly not subjective, but objective, because, to my personal knowledge, all three observers described the same Woman, the same dress aud the same movements at the same time, It was not long before our folks began to hear ints of the place being haunted, but none of us ‘Were much afraid hosts, We rather courted thetr soctety, and during the three successive years that we remained there (most of us only in the summer season) there were frequent apparitions Seen both day and night, Most of the inmates, in- cluding numerous summer boarders, had some ex- erience Of the kind. It was rather a diversion to ave it. I was one of the few who saw nothing. On the whole, the ghosts conducted themselves: tolerably well, but sometimes they caused annoy- ance and fright, as, for example, When one of them ¢ame to the bedside of my wite¥sister andslapped her in the face, But, so far*ag_we all know, there ‘was no significance to any of the manifestations, Thave refrained hitherto from giving this ghost story publicity, out of regard for the two worthy female owners of the estate, but now that it has ‘Deen sold and the landmarks are being removed in ‘the march of suburban progress I give the facts to the public through Tax Stax, W.

The original mother houseis in Paris, where, about the year 1600, 8t. Vincent de Paul founded the order of Sisters of Charity, and prescribed the form by which the superior should be elected, and this form is the one followed to this day, it 1s said, without deviation or change, There’ are now some Seven or eight sisters superior at the mother house at Emmitsburg, and upon them will devolve the duty of selecting & successor of Mother Euphe- mia. ‘Their action Will then be confirmed by the authorities In Paris, ‘The fleld of selection tor the oficial positions in’ the order are not confined to any one class, Dut any of the members of the order are eligible to appointment. In the case of the present vacancy instead of selecting one of the sisters superior “who stand next nthe line of official precedence, to be the head of the order, an individual member may be selected who holds ho office. There are now in this country over 2,000 members of the order and they have 107 establishments. In this city alone they have five establishments, namely, St. Vin- cent’s Female Orphan asylum, Which is the oldest establishment of the order in this city; St. Ann's Infant Orphan asylum; Providence hospital; St. Rose Industrial school and the School of the Im- maculate Conception, A mother superior or sister superior 1s at the head of each of these institu- tions, and in turn they are under the direction of the sisters superior at the mother house. Prom that source emanates the orders which place a sis- | ter at the head of an institution in this city or in Texas, or directs an individual to proceed to some point for some special duty which 1s designated.

They must obey the orders of thelr superiors and go where they are directed and 40 ‘what they are it may that a person hay be selected to nil tte present vacancy whose personal wishes are opposed to accepting the duties and. responsibilities of such a position, Dut personal wishes must be subordinated to duty.

Smith, the government leader, moved in the house of commons last night that the Irish crimes act have precedence over all onlers of the day. ‘The measure, he said, was absolutely essential for the peace and happiness of the law-abiding people of Ireland. Referring to Uie proposed amendment offered last night by John Morley rejecting the declaration of urgency for the government Dill, Mr. Smith reminded the house how Mr. Gladstone resisted the adoption of a similar amendment in 1881. The position of the government now was Uhe same as that of Mr. Gladsione’s government then. Regarding thelr ameliorative policy to- wand Ireland, the er sald the government land bill would be divided Into two parts, One of Uhese would be introduced immediately. The other would be @ land purchase bill of wide 3 ‘Mr. Smith sald he hoped the house would ny adopt the government's measures, If the house did not adopt them the governinent would be com- Pelled to ask the opinion of the countre to either confirm their policy or relieve them of the respon- SibiLies of government. JOHN MORLEY DEFENDS THE IRISTI. John Morley, moving the rejection of the motion tor urgency, denied absolutely Mr. Smith's asser- tions as to the lawless condition of Ireland, and demanded that the government give comparative Statistics of crime in Ireland,which, he sald, would show that, beyond a certain very narrow area, the country hid seldom been quieter. ‘The land com- iulssion had declared that the people were unable Yo pay excessive rents. No matter how the tenants Might strive, this wretcued landlord system crushed them ‘The egercion proposals of the gov- erument appeared to be based upon the idea Euat the people of Ireland were Indolent and dishonest.
