| His son's suspicions and a can opener | |convinced Andrew Sherrer last Saturday | |that he had been fleeced out of $500 by | |two clever manipulators of an ancient | |"get-something-for-nothing" swindle. So | |strong was the victim's confidence, etc. | | There's a stubborn, unlaid ghost, a | |gnome, a goblin, a swart fairy at the | |least, who has settled down for the | |winter in a perfectly respectable cellar | |over in Brooklyn and whiles away the | |dismal hours of the night by chopping | |spectral cordwood with a phantom axe. | |Instead of going to board with Mrs. | |Pepper or another medium and being of | |some use in the world and having a | |pleasant, dim-lighted cabinet all its | |own, this unhappy ghost--or ghostess--is | |pestering Marciana Rose of 1496 Bergen | |street, who owns the cellar and the house | |over it--over both the ghost and the | |cellar. Etc. | | The gowk who calls up 3732 Rector today | |will get a splinter in his finger if he | |scratches his head. Nothing doing with | |3732 Rector. From early morn till dewy | |eve Mr. Fish, Mr. C. Horse, Mr. Bass, Mr. | |Skate and other inmates of the aquarium | |will be inaccessible by 'phone. Etc. | | Under all the saffron banners and the | |sprawling dragons clawing at red suns | |over the roofs of Chinatown yesterday | |there was a tension of unrest and of | |speculation. It all had to do with the | |luncheon to be given to his Imperial | |Highness Prince Tsai Tao and the members | |of his staff at the Tuxedo Restaurant, 2 | |Doyers street, at noon to-morrow. Etc. | | Man and wife, sitting side by side as | |pupils, was the interesting spectacle | |which provided the feature of the | |elementary night school opening last | |night.
