THE WOMAN IN BLACK.
A (furor ('hui'Hftrr Th»t ir Crutilii* ■ SpiumUon
hi Nematon.
Scranton, Penn., November 10.—For
more than a week timid and superstitious
persons throughout the city have been
kept in a constant state of trepidation by
the appearance in various places and at
unseasonable hours of an uncanny figure
that is now quite generally spoken of ns
“•The Woman in Slack.” The weird visi
tor tirst made her appearance in the Pine
Brook portion of the citv, and was seen
by two young women who were on their
■way home from a Saturday night "hop.”
At a short distance from their homes,
where the Btreet is spanned by the Dela
ware and Hudson Canal Company’s track,
the young women were stopped by the
woman in black, who said nothing,
but assumed a'menacing attitude toward
them. The girls were terrified and start
ed to run, but the woman in black over
took one of them and hugged her until she
-almost fainted. The other girl returned
with, help just in time, and the spectre
then disappeared like a Hash. Since then
the woman in black has made her appear
ance in various parts of the city—mostly
in the outskirts and in the early hours of
evening. Some of those who have seen
her declare that she fired at them, and
this having been reported to the police
they are keeping a sharp lookout for the
nocturnal disturber.
A few evenings ago a workman em
ployed near the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
Company’s blast furnaces ran up to a group
of his fellow-workmen and reported to
them with bated breath and bulging eyes
that he had just seen the woman in black,
and that she was at that moment hiding in
a lumber pile a Bhort way from the bank
of Roaring brook. Immediately there was a
rush in that direction, and although it was
rather dark several declared that they saw
a female figure dressed in black emerging
from the lumber pile and running toward
the river. Thinking they would be able to
•capture it, some of the men followed in
close pursuit, but when they were near the
river bank the woman iu black sprang over
a precipice and disappeared in the cave
of an abandoned mine. Then lamps were
procured, and some of the men ventured
mto the cave and made diligent search, but
could not find anybody hiding there. While
this exciting chase was going on a large
crowd of persons assembled on the bridge
which crosses Roaring Brook at this point,
and the pursuers of the woman in black
were urged not to desist until they had
hunted down their game.
j when I knocked at the door some impa- !
I tienoe in the sonorous invitation to come j
1 m. I went in, however, to find Mr. Baker
, correcting page proofs of his book and !
deeply absorbed in his work.
| "He met me with the inquiry, ‘ Well, ,
sir, what time is it?’ I explained that it
was about 10 o’clock. In great surprise he
asked me if I meant 10 o’clock at night,
and when I told him that I did he looked
intently at me for a minute and then sa d
in his slow, impressive wav that lie had
been sitting at. that table ever since 10
o'clock in the morning. The room was
dark a id he had lit the gas and had not
noticed t.io p.losing of time. So absorbed j
j was he m his work that the twelve hours
! were to him as two. He thanked me for
coming in on him, expressing the opinion ■
I that if I iiad not interrupted him he would
I have probably worked oil all night.
“On one occasion, after his rcLuru from
1 South America, a gentleman of some pre- j
i tensions in literature complimented Mr.
Baker on his work on ‘Montesquieu.’ The
I book, in fact, had more of Jehu linker in
! it than of Montesquieu, and it is really a
very profound work. Mr. Baker listened
to the commendation of his friends very I
quietly, remarking at the close that he
supposed that in writing t hat hook he had t
exercised less influence in this country
than it he had written a circus poster or 1
any kind of showbill.
“One occasion while in his office at
.Belleville a solicitor for a St. Louis paper i
came in to see him, and asked him to sub- '
scribe for his journal. The paper was not
a favorite one with Mr. Baker, but be lis
tened attentively to what the man had to
say, then he broke out in this way: ‘I
will subscribe for your paper, sir; I will
subscribe upon one condition. I. you will
go out into the yard and take yourself by
your boot-straps, or by the iseat of your
trousers, and lift yourself up over the top
of the court house aud come down on the
other side, come in to me, present your
book, and I will subscribe wit hout a word.
On no other conditions will I take your
paper, sir.’ ”

whose queer antics have produced some-
like a panic in some portions of the
efie ”
thing li
city. It is believed by some that the woman
in black is a crazy individual at large, who
is taking this method of indulging a wild
fancy, while the more superstitious are of
opinion that it is a veritable ghost. There
are others yet who suppose that the
"woman in black” is some evil-minded
man who is masquerading in female
attire for the purpose of frightening
timid persons. Home men whose friends
have been frightened by the spectre are
looking for the woman in black with re
volvers, and will not hesitate to shoot in
•case they see anything like the apparition
that has been described to them. A mis
chievous young man named Farber tried
to frighton a few of his friends in an alley
in the Hyde Park portion of tue city the
other night by personating the worn an m
black, but he was promptly arrested by
the police and held to bail for appearance
at court. He confessed that it was his first
appearance in the character, but he is
rather fortunate that the police were first
to find him or he might have been the
principal character in a funeral.
The woman in black was seen again on
Sunday night near the silk mill by a num
ber of girls, why were chased for some
■distance by her. Whether the figure be a
myth or a reality, it has caused a genuine
sensation throughout the city and there
are hundreds of persons who fear to ven
ture out of their homes after dark lest they
should meet tie woman in black.
Proprietary Meiticlnas.
A visit to Dr. Green’s laboratory at
Woodbury, N. J., has considerably changed
•our views, and especially our prejudices in
regard to what are generally known as
"Standard Patent Medicines.” Of course
we are getting to that age in life when we
are forced to conclude Life itself is a hum
bug, and naturally distrust anything that
has not withstood long and tried experi
ences. Being a physician 1 had the curi
osity to know how such a sale of two medi
cal preparations could be sustained for so
many years. The perfect system upon
which the business is conducted, and the
pharmaceutical arrangements for the
manufacture of the two recipes with which
we were made acquainted, are sufficiently
convincing to us that the August Flower.
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, and
Boschee’s German Syrup for Throat
and Lung Troubles were, for the com
plaints they are recommended, most excel
lent remedies, and only regret that in much
of our practice, medical ethics prevent us
from prescribing them without making
the formulas public. When we were
shown the great quantity of voluntary let
ters having been forwarded Dr. Green,
from all parts of the country, and from all
• classes of people, lawyers, ministers and
doctors, (riving a description of their ail
ments, testimonials of their cures, etc., I
feel like endorsing Dr. Green’s suggestion
that the government accept such valuable
formulas, and license them for general use
by giving protection to the inventor same
as patents generally.—Copied from N. Y.
Druggists’ Circu ar of Oct., 1H8K.
JEHU BAKER.

“This Jehu Baker,” said an old cam
paigner on Friday, "is an extraordinary
man and something of a character. He is
well known as a scholarly man, industri
ous and studious, but nearly all his_ per
sonal friends know that in his ordinary
conversation he is as picturesque aud as
graphic as is Col. Ingersoll or as was the
iate Emory H. Stores. I have heard him
unbosom himself in one vivid, grotesque
sentence that would drop into a hubbub of
conversation like a bombshell to scatter all
of those opposed to him. He is given to
saying the unexpected, even to His most
intimate friends and to the members of his
family.
“On one occasion when I had not seen
him for two or three years I called at his
office in Belleville and rapping at the door
was invited, in a rich sonorous voice in
toned to tile special occasion, to come in.
I went in and found Mr. Baker sitting at a
table, toward which I moved. As soon as
be set eyes on me he began to welcome
me in that peculiar voice of his, and as i
stood at the table on one side, he oil the
other, he raised to his feet and put his
hand in his pocket. Taking out a pocket-
knife, he put it down on the table with
some emphasis, saying: ‘Sir, my daughter
found this knife in the bed-room which
you occupied when you were last at ray
house. I took possession of it as your
property and I have cared for it carefully
since. I now return it and my steward
ship is at an end. Is that your knife ?’
“I was able to identify the knife by a
broken blade, and I so informed him. He
turned it over with an affectation of great
relief, then gave me an enthusiastic wel

Instead they left him in an outhouse. In
the morning lie was found dead. Exam

Washington, D. C., November 9.—The
New York Herald to-day astonishes the
natives by the announcement that Speaker
Carlisle will resign the seat which Mr.
Thobe proposes to contest, and stand lor
another election.
It says that in case Thobe contests Car
lisle can j.ot well be a candidate for speak
er, because if elected speaker he would
have to appoint an election commission to
sit, iu his own case. To get around these
difficulties, it says he will resign on receiv
ing a certificate of election from the gov
ernor of the state, and there will be a new
election.
This remarkable statement is met here,
however, with the counter statement that
a man who has been served with a notice
of contest cannot end that contest by re
signing, because it is not yet finally deter
mined whether he has any seat to resign.
The question can only be determined by
the house itself, which house does not or
ganize until December, 1887.
Northern Methodist Enterprise.
Philadelphia, November 11.—The
twenty-first annual meeting of the general
committee of the board of church exten
sion of the Methodist Episcopal church
was held here this afternoon. The com
mittee is composed of the bishops of the
church, thirteen ministers from different
sections of the country and thirteen dele
gates from the board located in this city.
The following bishops were present at the
meeting to-day: Bowman, Harris, Mer
rill, Andrews, Warren, Foss, Walden, Mal-
lalieu and Fowler. The annual report of
the board to the general committee makes
a very favorable showing. Two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars is needed to
carry oil the work of church extension
during 1887.
The Shipping and InilimYrial Langur.
I Pensacola, November 11.—At to-day’s
session of the Shipping and Industrial
League resolutions were adopted favoring
the re-establishment, of the American mer
chant marine, and Hon. John M. Martin,
of Alabama, was appointed chairman of a
committee to present them to congress.
The delegates visited to-day the mouth of
the harbor, the navy yards and forts. This
evening Dr. Holt, of New Orleans, address
ed the delegates and citizens upon the
subject of "Quarantine,” and E~. L. Cor-
thell, of New York, spoke on ship rail
ways.

Chattanooga, Tenn., November 11,—
The remains of Rev. Father Ryan, late of
St. Peter and Paul Catholic church, were
re-interred here to-day in the new Catholic
burying grounds. Father Ryan died here
in 1878 of yellow fever contracted while re
lieving the sick and burying the dead. The
relief committee of the city, largely made
up of Protestants, attended the ceremonies
in a body. High pontifical mass was sol
emnized by Bishop Rademacher. The
ceremonies were the most beautiful and
interesting ever witnessed in this city.
There was a large general attendance.
Another Explosion.
Chicago, November 11—A Times special
from New Orleans says : At the Myrtle
Grove plantation, in Plaquemine parish,
owned by Congressman-elect Wilkinson,
tlie boiler of the draining machine ex
ploded yesterday, killing the engineer in
charge and badlyscalding and dangerously
injuring the fireman and another hand.
The boiler was blown up an eighth of a
mile and the concussion was felt for miles
down the river.

"It has been said that Mr. Blaine is here

The interests of humanity seem to de
mand the publication of the following
facts: Two months ago my attention was
called to the case of a poor woman who
was said to be afflicted with a cancer. I
found her with an ulcer on her shoulder at
least five inches in circumference, angry,
painful and giving the patient no rest
day or night lor six months. I obtained a
supply of Swift’s Specific, which I per
suaded li r to try. She has taken five bot
tles, the result of which is that the ulcer
is entirely healed up, nothing remaining
but a small scab not larger than one’s fin
ger nail, and her general health is better
than for five years past. She seems to be
perfectly cured. 1 consider its effects
wonderful—almost miraculous.

Poisoned with Potash anil Mrrcury
Is the tale of a large percentage of sick
people in the world—such a large number,
in fact, that it is hard to tell whether there
are not as many victims to this mineral
poisoning as to diseases of the blood and
skin.
“I took potash,” said one, “and while it
partially dried up the eruption temporari
ly, it came near drying up my vitality for
ail time. It drove the disease in my sys
tem, only to break out again on some other
part of my body.”
To such sufferers Swift’s Specific is the
remedy which is worth more than all the
world besides. It drives out the poison of
blood taint, eliminates this mineral poison
and builds up the general health.
Be sure to get the genuine, and send for j

Opinion of a Loading Editor.
Almost all the diseases that afflict us
from infancy to old age have their origin
in a disordered liver. A really good liver
medicine is the most important in the
whole range of pharmacy. We believe
Simmons Liver Regulator to be the best
among them all. We pin our faith upon
the Regulator, and if we could persuade
every reader who is in ill health to buy it,
we would willingly vouch for the benefit
each would receive.—Ed. Cincinnati Ga
