| 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.
