GHOST STORY. * Man Appears Mysteriously in His Sweetheart's Photograph. HAS DAHG-KR IN HAND. Threatening Her Life Apparently. fit so Frightens The Young Lady That She Bresks Her Engagement, and the Young Man la Much Wort led. A letter from Lo ^don, Eng. says one of tlie weidest phononaena In the history of photography has caused Miss Gl&dy's Manning, a beautiful Southampton girl, to break her engagement with L'eut. G rdon Waters, now on service in India. 11 every one of a dcz ;n photographs the camera revealed & ghoitlv figure with dagger in hand hovering over her. Soe recognized the figu'e as her fiance ar.d immediately broke t .1 engagement, believing tn&t it w*s warning of what would bsppm should she become ids bride. The course of true love ran smooth for this couple until Lieutenant Waters was called to India. He expected to return to return to E:i gland on a furlough In a year and take his bride back to India with him for the remainder of his service. Letters were t xohanged with regularity during six months and the preparations for the wedding had been commerced. Then one day an old friend, an unsuccessful rival of the Indian cUlcer, paid a parting cah. II was on his way to America in a few days and begged for a pbut< graph. MissMumlLg had no recent pictures arm was easily persuaded to si? f AW linill An /\H rPK a ?\/v ? r .? . ? ^ ikjl iitn uucoi iuc hi'* i/ uajr mm 11 uuu time during her shopping trip In L indon to call at a well known puutographers studio. Two days later, Instead of th? expeeled proofs, came a short letter of apology. Would she please make soother appointment?an accident ' had ruined the plates. Her Loudou trips were very frequent just then. She sat again without a murmur. Again a letter of apology instead of proofs. This time the lot ter was lv)Lg?r and sp)!o vaguely ol strau^o action of the light. \ The photographers r? quest for s c third sitting was granted with the mildly expreased hope that nothing 1 would happen this time. S?vera strangers were about the studio dur i-. log the third attempt. Miss Manning s; observed with the well trained Deri phery of a woman's eyo that "thej ?vprr. watching her with evident our el ioslty. t'. Ai-ough this espionage was annoy the ing and intutlon bold her something c|lf was wrong. she showed no sign ef dls . pleasure even when one of the observ era stole up aud snapped her with i at hand camera. Miss Manning's ua> As easiness was further increased whei Vy for the third time a letter of apolog] arrived Instead of proofs. There wai y.| no explanation. The photograpnei begged her to come to his studio a \ soon as possible and bring noie on< ^ with her. He wcu d then, he said en de&vor to explain why it was lmpossl ble to photograph her. Mr>. Manning and her daughtei .took the next train to the metropol s The photographer led them Into a private room and produbed a handfu of plates. Before showing the plates to tht mvbtitied women, ha a*kcd of Misi Manning: Do you you happen toknow a very tall young lieutenant with darb skin and light hair?" 'Why, yes, I do." answered Mis* Manning, glancing at her mother. Well perhaps you cau account foi these p'atfs, ' taid the pnotographei LandiLtT them over. ('l never had anything like this happen to me but once before. With success! ve gasps of amazement the young woman jookel at the plate* and men at the proofs, which showed things much more clearly. in each ca>e her picture was clcai ^and (julte good. They were the aver age vcrk cf a tirst- class photographer. .But in every ca-ie there lximd clcse to her a strango, ghostly, yet dHtlncfc fl, urn. lathe figures rlgut t hand was a dagger. . f 'J-here was no qucstioi* of identity. y* It was Lieutenant Waters, tall, frowning and ilnster. Sometimes the ? * ' . LieuLciiaut'b figureqva.s on the left, 4 . otwetimes on the right of his fiancee, ^)ut more of ton behind her. in every folate the dogger was held close to (.'Alis> Manning. Three plates s owed J him holding it point downward just above her head. Ia others it was at her throat and breast. The poise ol the mysterious tigure showed that it was not In the act of striking a blow, but held itself balanced In readiness to stab. " So ominous and threatening was the t fTact that the two women were Quite overoome. "What do you think it means?" tbey asked. Were you thinking or worrying very bard about him?" be asked in reply. Miss Manning was quite sure that during the first two sittings her mind w?s full of shopping, and at the third her thoughts were trylug to account for the curiosit y she was Inspiring. "I hoped It might jhave been thought transference from' your mind t-o the plate," he said. "1 have of this happening often to other pho- | tographers, but It happened to jade only onoe." t/w* Pressed for details of thlB one previous case, the photographer reluctantly gave them. They were fir from reassuring. A man just befoie Ms wedding had sat for his picture. The figure of a woman appeared on every p*ate- She too, was slnster ?and had a^revolver instead of & dagger in her hand. The man rechgnized her as one who believed abe had & claim on his affection was much disturbed by the plates and insisted on destroying them, He was married, and soon after set out with his bride for Sydney, Australia. And what happened?" asked Miss Manning when the narrative paused at this point. "He committed Euioide and was burled at aea," he answered. That is all I know. Hut he did know more. There w*s d' uM. as to whoever It was a cu?e of suicide or murder. The woman who j * - nan appeared mysteriously on toe plates had been a passenger on the steamer, and the youhg widow had stated that It was her oplulon that she wan Implicated even If she had not done the shooting herself. The photographer, wishing to test the phenooieua more throughly, had brought several witnesses to observe Miss Manning's third shtlog. One i f these witnesses had made a sep\ra<e exp )su-? simult-neouslv with one of the regular camera's pictures. This p'ate showed the ghostly visitor standing behind the girl, with the dagger above her head. The large camera revealed him In the same position, though In one case It was a rrout view and In the other a pre tile. Miss Mannihg is not a student of psychology or metaphgs'cs. If she has any theory for the explanation of her strange pictures It must be gue-is ed at, fur she will not discuss the sub loot, Hut der mental processes, whatever they were, resulted In speedy tc ion. Not twenty-four hours after examining the plates a letter was on its wa> to Lieutenant Waters notifying turn that he might consider himself a free man. It Is said that she frankly admitted the photographs were the cause. Lieutenant Waters has by no means given up the tight.

FLAYS OIL TRUST In Message to Congress Presi dent Roosevelt Brands as COLOSSAL ROBBERS The Standard Oil Combines. Which He Says Has Enriched Itself by Crimes. Commissioner Garfield's Proof of Monopoly's Guilt the Basis of Charts. President Roosevelt, in a message to Congress Friday indulged In a sevor^ denunciation of the Stand vd Oil monopoly, charging Hand the railroads of toe Cjuutry with ail manner of of fenses against, the Interstate Commerce and Antl R?bate laws. The c large* against this vicltus monopoly were timed psychologically with the approaching vote in the Senate on the raiir' ad rate bill, the P'es'dent's pet measure, which he U determin? d shall go on the Federal statute books. B it Ltiis belated laying bare of the Hi/rant and persistent violation of the. law by the Riokefeller monoply is two years behind the times. In 1904 the same cha-g-\s against the O.l combine were made by Congressman William Randolph Hearst in all bis newspapers, and in Decom ber of last year he proposed a remedy In the shape of a bill to Increase the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission and to or ate an Interstate Commerce Court, whleti would have made impossible a continuation of such defiance of the United StaUs laws. The hill served as a model for the Esch-Townserid hill, and was killed by it e Administration. For jetrs the Goverum nt has paid no attention to ti e repealed accusations against the Standard O.l Company, whose crimes are calmly enumerated by the President and Commissioner Garftild today. Despite the suoerlatlveness of the denunciatory adjectives used by tlie President and Commissioner Gaifield, which accuse the Standard Oil monop oly of divers and sundry offenses against Federal laws, the Department of Justice, In almost the same breath, announces that It will try to prosecute only under tho Anti-Rebate law, of whicn the maximum penalty for conviction is only a fine of a sum. Which at most would be considered paltry by the millionaire defendants. In other words, should all the C t n t?fln ?/1 /til t ill / I n In nil # . \ n vit (1 *aa /I OL'AiiiiAiii v/ti on iiii: i c* 11' ur\i i chiefs of the country be convicted, they would merdy have 10 Boraten their pens across the bottom of chicks for suras Infinitesimal as compared with the prodts secured from toe ille gal and secret rates and rebates, and go on committing the same crimes against the laws of the land Then, by putting the screws under the price-list anew and tacking a cent or two on to the rate for oil, the trust would get all Its money back .vith enormous interest. Commissioner Garfield's lnvestiga tlons unearthed undeniable proof of the guilt of the Oil Trust and the ral'roads, and his specific charges formed the basis for the President's message and recommendations to Congress. T T a vultmorl r?r? uun?rlu nnrl naorl r?n M A Vf "IliWI/U UV ??

Thr revelations in the report of Commissioner G.irlield ai-e almost asrounding. They expose, so fir as the Standard O 1 Company is corcirned, exactly the same methods that Wil llam R. Hearst has urovereiln the coal roads trust and the alliance between the S'K'ar Trust and fie great railroads. It is significant to note that Commissioner Garflold'B exposure illuminates the situation with examples of precisely the Hame kinds of rebates, r^fone's and other ll)p?al fav or as the coal c ises and toe si gir oa^s have dcvJopvd. Inotherwords.lt tends to prove what Congressman Hearst and many writers and investigators have con tended for a long time?that the Standard created the system ami pi rfected it and the coal roads and the Sugar Trust and the other trusts are only imltoturs und followers of the mos gigantic trust of them all. Seldom has organized capital been so ruthiesSiy plltoried. Oimmisston* er Gartield presents an array of facts and figures that would convince the most skepptlcal and he does It with a clearness that a child could understand. He nos only convicts the *011 Trust of ilagrant and persistent violations of the law, but accuses lis officials of deliberate lying. He says that at the beginning of the investigation the officials of the Standard Oil said the company had not obtained and was then not obtaining secret rebates from tne railroad*. Ht then prooeeds to Bbow tl at the com par y has habitually received aud is still reoeivlrg , suoh rebatef, and he oitee case after case Id proof. Probably no more opportune time oould have been elected by the Preei dent to send the report to Congress 1 Just as the Senate is about to begin 1 voting on the railroad rate bill. The 1 President believes the factf revealed 1 by Commissioner Gartield constitute toe best argument yet presented that 1 the ynly effective remedy for secret 1 rebating and open preferential ratings I Is through government regulation, < with only such restrictions as arc neo- < ces^ry under the Constitution. I Oae of the mostslgnlticant features i of the report is that when the attention of the railroads was called to certain spec!tie Instances of rebating 1 discovered by Mr. Gartt Id, uhey discontinued the practice thereby ac- 1 knowledglng their guilt. 1 The President's only reoommenda 1 ttons in his message are that the lm- 1 munlty law be corrected, that the free alcohol bill be passed, which would be a set-back for the Standard < and that the further by the trusts of coal and oil land* owned by the Government be prevented. Alread/ the Department of Jus Mre bas taken up the matter of pros rout Jons of the Standard Oil Company and the various railroads involved, on the f-ots learned by Commls*ton?r Gartield. In this connection It should 1 he noted that tne report presented to. i dav is only on one phase of the oil situation?ghat relating to transpor 1 t&tion and freight rates. There are six other branches of the general suhj ot that fchA Hireau of C'-rp>rslions :s st,111 considering and on which It j will report later. TILLMAN PLEASED I *T TUK III-MJLT O ?' T1IK ItEC KNT CON VKN I IO NH pays He Will Continue to Fight t) 1 Purify tUe State Dispei sary System x S mator Tillman is greatly pleased with the result in the ccuity coven lions throughout South Carolina, says the Washington correspondent of the Columbia Utcord. Ho has been so busy with railroad rate legislation he has not had much time to analj /r the situation county by county, but there was an expression of satisfaction throughout. Naturally he Is pleased with the strong endorsement given him in many counties and the evident lack of anything like opposition to h'm among the people of the state. yonu this, however, he is greatly natistied with the showing made by the dispensary people In all directions lie Is more tirmly convinced now than ever, he says, that in the c junties where the dispensary was voted out there was tu real expression of a ma jorlty of the people. He predicts that practioahy every county in the s ate wih, as quickly as possible, desert the prohibition farce it lias in v Jgue and return to the control of the whiskey trulllc uDdar the dispensary system. Senator Tillman said that it was plainly evident that the wave of opposition to the dispensary that ran through the state for awhile is petering out and he believes that the in stitutlon, under promise cf better management and laws that will pre vent corruption and fraud, will be sustained by a larger majority than over before known in the state. The senator renews his promise to lead a tight that will mean rurifl:aiion of the dispensary system and the enaction of laws that will prevent a re turn to corruption. II* belle v ?s that the people have wisely concluded that it is uot the system that is at fault, but the lack of proper laws and the administration of the business by enemies of the institution. With stricter laws and lu the bands of its friends in the future there ought not to bo a recurrence of the things that j i. ? * disgusted many people fer a locg time. The moral effect of the results of thecmnty conventions will be good throughout, the state, it is believed by the senator. It demonstrates the strength of the dispensary fotoas and sho/vs to them that if they will turn out at ti e primaries they have the votes to forever settle the question in the right way. Senator Tiliin&n believes that ? very friend of the dispensary system should unhesitatingly insist on candidates for the legislature answering direct!), without evasion, Questions showing how they slaad 01 the dispensary question.
