THE UNEASY GHOST IS LAID
Mister Containing Kate Bau3ch't
Arhea from Crematory Discovered
-Tlocturnal Rapping that Drove Ten
r.r.is Away May Cease with Burial.
Ts'ew York. The g'i st that haunt
i J the home of Mrs. Mary Miller, No.
147 East Sixteenth street, for six
years, has been laid, and the loelgera
In the house feel more comfortable.
After knocking about in the ice
chest and under the counter of a sa
loon for more than four years, and
being exposed to the wind, rain and
snow in a niche In a brick wall for
about fourteen months, a tin canister
containing the ashes of a cremated
woman wa3 found, and sent to the
city Morgue. With its disappearance
from its haunts of six years it Is be
lieved that the uneasy spirit whose
poundings on the wall caused con
sternation in two households will now
rest in peace.
The canister, half the contents of
which have been lost, bears the label,
'Remains of Kate Bnusch, Fresh
Fond Crematory, April 20, 1003." Who
tin- woman was is a r.iy?:er;-, and Just
Low her ashes tame to rest for so
long in a saloon, is but little clearer.
The- Morgue authorities will hold the
canister a reasonable length of time;
then if no one claims the ashes they
will be buried in Potter's Field.
The canister first apeared in 1903,
when Thomas Moore conducted the
tjaloon at No. 166 Third avenue. A
stranger entered the saloon one day
and asked the bartender to take care
of a package wrapped in paper. The
bartender thrust it Into the refrigera
tor compartment back of bottles.
. The bartender forgot all about the
parcel. Not until repairs were being
made in the refrigerator a year later
was the can discovered. The proprie
tor unwrapped the parcel and for the
first time learned the nature of its
contents. Thinking the owner surely
would return, Moore put the can un
der the counter. No one knew about
?t save Moore and his bartender.
?vnnk Dutton, a watchman, and his
Innk rnnmq nvor th K.ilnnn Tra
-,i u'e knocking and pounding that
' r.ed to come late at night from the
. n. Dutton, on several nights,
'.. :r.l down to the saloon at his wife's
request. Every time the hour was
always long after the time of closing
and there was no sign of life. Dutton
" sriys he often heard a noise as of
i ;:.:? one Eplittinj wood in the sa
loon, but when he opened the door
at the foot of the stairs the sound
ctT.sed.
Oihers in house heard the noises,
and several tenants moved because of
the nervous strain.
About fourteen months ago Moore
oerided to lease the saloon to an
other man. In looking over the place
the prospective lessee came upon the
canister. He opened it. Part of the
ashes was spilled on the floor and
swept out with the night's collection
of cigar stumps. Moore agreed to re
move the canister.
Soon after the new tenant moved
in Mrs. Miller, whose house Is separat
ed from the rear of the saloon by a
narrow alleyway, began to hear
strange pounding noises at night, as
if a person were rapping on the Inside
of a closet door to attract attention
and be released. The sounds caused
several of Mrs. Miller's boarders to
depart.
Mrs. Miller looked up at her wall
when in the alleyway. She saw a
small hole made by removing two or
three bricks. Thinking this hole
might be responsible for the noises,
she called Patrolman Colledge, of the
East Twenty-second street station.
-Colledge climbed up, reached Into the
hole and brought out the canister of
.ashes.
It is believed the canister was put
In the wall by Dutton, who had been
told by Moore to remove the object.
The saloon man and Mrs. Miller's
"boarders are confident their sleep will
be interrupted no longer by Kate
Bausch's spirit calling for a decent
burial of her ashes.
THE FLEA CAN'T SEE.
Merely Notes a Varying Intensity of
Light Rays, Says Sayant.
Berkeley, Cal. After a series of ex
periments with the California flea.
Prof. C. W. Woodworth of the Unl
slty of California announced that al
though that insect has eyes It does
not see. To be more exact the pro
fessor stated that the flea does not
see material objects, but merely sees
a variation of the rays of lights when
near an object.
"There is no formation of Images
on the retina of the eye of a flea," said
Prof.' Woodworth. "All the Insect
sees when It approaches a solid ob
ject Is a varying intensity of light
rays."

Child Wife-Mollier from
Octogenarian
FOURTEEN AND EIGHTY WED
Mother of Girl Scored from the Bench
for Having Schemed to Ensnare the
Old Man Divorce Granted on
Ground of Personal Indignities.
Seattle, Wash. A divorce on t!i9
ground of personal indignities lias
been granted to Mary Lanrierr,, v'io,
In 1905, at the age of fourteen an J :
half years, was married to Lcroy O.
Landers, a man in his eightieth year.
Judge J. T. Ronald, of the Supro vo
Court, in his decision, characterised
the union of childhood and old age as
a crime, scored the Girl's mother tta
having schemed to ensnare the o'.d
man and get his money, and statcu
plainly that he believed Lander was
I robbed of $1,200 by a sister of the
wife. The plaintiff was declared to
have been perhaps the most innocent
! of all the parties concerned. Yet she
j was characterized as ignorant of t'.io
I value of money, und incapable o
! handling it in trust for vr two-ytar-t
old boy, the fruit of the marriixse.
I The wife was ordered to deuel bad:
to the old man property r.e had given
her, and this, with the remainder oC
Lander's property, is to bo i .laced in,
! a trust fund for the use of the npeU,
I husband nnd father and the s.:sicn-
ance of the child.
j The couple were married A;-. 24
I and lived on Lasders's larch, :. r
Burton, on Vashon I.sI.miJ. ilnr.y U :-,t
! spring the wife left Ladders, r.r.d v ..'a
her baby and her sister aiid J 1.200 or
the old man's money came to e..
Landers accused her of larceny, h.i'.
afterwards withdrew th co.r.piv
and the matter was settled by i e..
promise.
Then ' the young wife co:r.:rc.-...i
divorce proceedings. Cn the v. .- .i
! stand she told the court thai Lar.i'.e. i
j was cruel and abusive when lie t.j
drunk, which was often.
Landers piteou.siy appstled to the
court to "give him back his little
wife." "Mary is all right; t-'ne 13 a
good little woman If they would Cu'.y
leave her alone," said Landers.
The aged husband told the cc.-.rt
that the mother of the girl was to
blame for the trouble and was con-
1 stantly at him for money. Accordlus
I to the plaintiff's statement. Landers I
i Is worth 525,000 and owns a valuable
patent on "Landers's logging Jack."
Judge Ronald's decision, as render
ed, was In part as follows:
"This marriage, la the first place,
was a crime. The girl is perhaps the
most innocent of a:l the parties con
cerned, and she is not altogether inuo
cent. I think the marriage was Insti
gated and brought about by the ma
chinations of the mother of the wifo.
"In answer to the question by the
court as to why this mother permit
ted this marriage, even -going her
self with the old gentleman to pro
cure the marriage license and swear
ing falsely to the age of her daugh
ter, she answered to the effect that
she had four children to support ami
'what was she to do?' This answer
6hows that the mother's motive was
one looking toward relieving herself
of responsliblity of supporting ths
daughter. -
"He gave the wife a note and mort
gage which he owned for something
like $950; he gave her some lots
which cost $1,003. As the result cf
that marriage she has one boy nearly
two years old, and one child unborn.
"If I don't divorce these people It
will be but a few months at the long
est until the old man Is dead; then
what he has left will be dissipated by
this child wife, who doesn't know the
value of money.
"I will grant the wife a divorce on
the ground of personal Indignities,
which have rendered her life burden
some." JUDGE HIS OWN ALIENIST.
"Find End of Your Nose with Your
Eyes Shut," His Test of Sanity.
New York. An unusual physical
test as an index to one's sanity was
introduced by a police magistrate
when Mrs. Harriet R. Berry, a trained
nurse, was brought to court on a phy
sician's application that inquiry be
made Into her mental condition.
"Close your J-yes, madam, and
toueh the end of your nose with the
index finger of your right hand," de
manded the magistrate.
It was only after several attempts
that Mrs. Berry succeeded, and the
court ruled that the result of the test
was sufficient to warrunt her commit
tal to Bellevue for observation.
Her case Is said to be one of "per
secutory delusion." She thought a
friend had sold the manuscript of. her
book, "The Design of Life," to Presi
