Several titues in the last three years there have been published iu the Sun descriptions of the various J singular shadows that have appeared fro hi time to tiiuo on ihe north or main poreb ot the Whtte House. One of these shadows represented the protilo and bent form of an old woman, with one hand resting on an * t ^ * niuisiiuci/ oijt/ci, iiim reseinoiea a sp'ntiing wheel. 3 his shadow, cast by the hun's rays shinning through the railing, which is a put of tlio colonial structure al the top of the tuntihioti, apjcuied duiiy at a certain Itour for two or three weeks, and as it was at that time tbatPresi lcLfc McK in ley's mother died tht phcn- inenon made a deep iuipressiou on in my superstitious persons. Last fall another shadow appeared, at.d it required no effort of the imagination to lecoguizu it as u human forearm and haud, with beut lorelinger upheld in the attitude of warning or reproach. Superstitious folks who suw it every day for a fortnight or so again had a chill, while others remarked faceticeomly that the inci" deut ought to be a comfort to the aotiiuiperiali.-ts, who have so long been predicting calamity If the public has regard1 d theses publications in the Sun as being of a mythical order or mere \shadow" fctories, the affidavits ct ail the messengers und gua;di at the VVni c House can be brought forward to substantiate tin ui.

The silhouette was so striking in its accuracy that many persons who saw it remarked tfiit a more coricct profile drawing of Mr McKinley pou >il pot he nuitle by any nitist. The likeness was not u correct one for more than two minute-.
