PRICES VERY REASONABLE Or. Johnson and Ghosts, Dr. Johnson expressed himself with characteristic caution and common Sense on the subject of ghosts. “It is wonderful,” he said, “that 5,000 years have now elapsed since the creation of the world, and still it is undecided whether or not there has ever been an instance of the spirit of any person appearing after death.” Yet the cred~ ibility of some stories of apparitions can hardly be called in question. Hd- ward FitzGerald was far from being a superstitious man, and there is a story of FitzGerald in a book called “Tennyson and His Friends.” He once told some people “how he had one day clearly’ seen from outside his sis- ter and her children having tea in his dining room. He then saw his sister quietly withdraw from the room so as not to disturb the children. At that moment she died in Norfolk.”~Lon- don Mail. A Fiasco. The phrase “a complete fiasco” orig- inated with a German workman, who declared that he could blow glass as , well as an expert glassworker. A friend laid a wager with him to the contrary, and when the test came off the would be glassblower found that he could produce only a pear shaped flask (fiasco). Nothing daunted, he tried again, but with the same result. The story of the workman became known, and hence the origin of the phrase which is used in designating a failure.

GERMANY ELATED Pleased by American Action | ou “Naval Holiday.” HOPE FOR GOOD RESULTS Proposal Coming From a Neutral Na- tion Would Not Be Open to Suspi- cions of Hostile Intent Like One Emanating From British Sources, Berlin, Dec. 16.—The large majority by which the “naval holiday” resolu- tion passed the American house of representatives has attracted inter- est and favorable comment from peace lovers in Germany and the at- titude of the United States on the pro- posal that international naval con- struction be discontinued for one year is regarded as one of possible far reaching influence. The question just now is at a stand- still, so far as Great Britain and Ger- many are concerned, and American initiative at this juncture would have many advantages, in the opinion of certain German naval officers. Unlike the proposals to this end | put forward by Great Britain the sug- gestion from a neutral nation to dis- continue building battleships for | twelye months would be open to no suspicion of hostile intent. | Must Be Unanimous. Addressed to all nations, *it would avoid one of the. main objections to the British pian, which is that neither | Great Britain and Germany nor any other two nations can afford to stop building battleships, if other coun- tries continue their naval program. It need contain no “jokers,” such as the exception allowing England to build battleships for Mediterranean service and to accept three battle- ships or their equivalent, while | other nations were observing the naval truce. The American proposals, if made, it is pointed out, should be worded so clearly as to leave no room for eva- sion by diverting funds saved on bat- tleships to the construction of cruis- ers, torpedo boats, submarines or air- ships, or by providing for accelerated construction in following years. There is naturally little or no sym- pathy at the admiralty for the idea, but in government circles outside the admiralty such a proposal might not | be altogether unwelcome. | TAUGHT TRICKS OF TRADE National School for Beggars in Opera. tion at Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 16.—This city is the headquarters of a national association of beggars, according to officials of the police department. Lieutenant James V. Larkins of the detective bu- reau announced that the organization maintains a school in one of the poor neighborhoods of the West Side where recruits are taught the tricks of the trade. “The Gray Cats” is the official name of the organization, say the police. Although headquarters are in Chica- go, “camps” are said to be maintained in other large cities of the country. Methods of deception are part of the curriculum of the training school, according to the police. Recruits are taught how to “make up” as cripples and invalids. They are shown the use of acids in making healthy hands and arms appear scalded. ‘PICTURE VIEWED BY THRONG | Great Crowds Eager to See Recovered “Mona Lisa.” Florence, Italy, Dec. 16.—So great. | is the crowd of people striving to ob- | tain a view of Da Vinci’s painting, ; “Mona Lisa,” that the authorities have been obliged to remove many of the busts and statues from the Uf- fizi gallery to prevent them from be- | ing overturned and broken in the struggle to get near the picture. | Resentment is vigorously expressed in many quarters at the action of the | Italian government in returning the picture to France. | ORDER Hi FLOWERS Thru local dealers or | suggested to Admiral Howard that he | gust Justine, a young farmer living PEACE LOVERS IN | WILSON ANGERED BY NAVAL SATIRE Orders Investigation of Cara- boa Banquet. BAN IS PLACED ON SONG Secretary Daniels Informs Admiral Howard, Highest Ranking Officer Present, That “Damn, Damn, Damn the Insurrectos” Must Never Be Sung Again While the Present Ad- ministration Is in Power. Washington, Dec. 16.—President Wilson has ordered an investigation by the war and navy departments of the satires on the administration’s Philippine policy which featured the annual banquet last Thursday of the Order of Carabao, an organization of army and navy officers who served in the islands. President Wilson suggested to Sec- retaries Garrison and Daniels repri- mands for those responsible. Secretaries Daniels and Garrison conferred and called for a statement of explanation from Rear Admiral Howard and Quartermaster Aleshire, the highest ranking officers at the dinner. Secretary Daniels at the same time decline the presidency of the order to which he was elected last Thursday. He also informed him that the song “Damn, damn, damn the insurrec- tos,” which was sung at the banquet, would never be sung again under the present administration with officers of the navy present.

The news of the proposed investi- gation fell like a bombshell in army and navy circles. There were hundreds of officers present. Rear Admiral Howard told Mr. Daniels that they had sung “Damn, damn, damn. the insurrectos” for thirteen years, and had not met with any objection.
