Caused the Trouble, { Werona, Nov. 15.--On Friday a number of residents of Verona found out to their sorrow that it was a cost-| ly matter to create a disturbance on the public highway. The case in| question was a Division Court action of Dr. Genge vs. Dr. Geddes and oth-| ers for $60 damages to the house and | clothing of the plaintiff. The action] was the second chapter of the chari- vari which oecurred at Verona on| the night of the 20th of October, when two young men from Parham Were married at the home of Dr.| Genge, who was the brother-in-law of two of the contracting parties. The | court room was taxed to its utmost} capacity, so much so that after] much patience Judge Lavell had tol order the building to be cleared of | all except the ladies, and those who! were directly intérested in the case. Charles Webster, of Kingston, ap-| pears for the plaintiff, and W. L.{ Herrington, Napanee, looked after] the causeof the defendants. - { The matter had not progressed far before it was evident that Judge La-| vel] had a fair estimate of the con-| duct of the people of Verona. He characterized the Charivari as a most disgraceful, riotous state of affairs, and a condition which should not be tolerated in any community. The evidence given by Dr. Genge and oth-! er witnesses for the plaintiff was! most conclusive. His Honor gave a verdict for $40 and costs, holding Dr. Geddes, William Burnett, and W. O'NEill, the adults of the party, equally responsible for the damage] and reserved his decision as to lia-! bility against four others of tender) age. The judge in concluding ex-!| 'pressed his opifi that. Dr. Genge! Was very lenient 'With the defenders and had he so desired criminal pro- ceedings could 'have been' against them. It has been rumored that W. D. Bertram, father of one of the brides aud one of the grooms, will enter fur- ther proceedings against the defend- ants in the case. Mammoth Pine Laid Low.

In a telegram. from Petrograd. it |is stated that many Russian sentinels {declare that they have seen the fam- | ous ghost of Gen. Skobeleff in a white uniform riding om a white borse. This appearance, according to tradi- tion, always marks a critical moment for the armies of the Czar, and invar- iably causes panic in the enemy's ranks, The telegram -bas started a corre- spondence in some London newspap- €rs on war myths, and the appearance of apparitions which alter the course of battles. \ "Supernatural appearances of this character," writes one correspondent, "have marked the narratives of al- most all wars, "Thus in classical history you have the appearance of Castor and Pollux af the battle of Lake Regillus, riding on white horses. They won the bat- the news of it at incredible speed to the city. "Another apparition is that of the Saming cross which appeared in the skies at noon above the army of Con- Stantine I. at the battle of the Milvian Bridge, near Rome, in 312. The cross | bore the famous words, 'In this sign you will conquer,' and Constantine is Said to bave beem so affected by the Pprient that he had the cross inserib- on the shields of his soldiers and became a Christian, "It has been supposed that with the advent of high explosives, wire- less telegraphs, and long range artil- lery th visions would be crowded out of the modern battlefield, but this fs not so. There is the now famous story of the rider on the white horse at Mons, who is believed to have caused the Germans to retire in the middle of their victorious career. "The English sbidiers who saw this apparition say it was St. George, the French soldiers have identified it as St. Michael, although some are in- clined to believe it was Joan of Are. "Skobeleff used to wear in the Russo-Turkish war a white uniform and ride a white horse, so that his | soldiers, who worshiped him, used to call him 'the white general." It is not a method of generalship which would { last many minutes on a modern bat tlefield, but it created in the soldiers the legend of Skobeleff's invulner ability." The British Weekly, in an article | on "Angels and Demons," says that though it has "no intention of dis cussing the credibility of stories re- lating to angulic interpositions in the present war," yet "that such inter- positions may. and do, take place is a doctrine firmly rooted in revelations and in experience." Dr. Horton, in a glowing letter on the war's awakening of spiritual per- ceptions, says he asked one of his young men, on the front, if he had seen the "White Comrade," of whom 80 much has been heard in the French lines. "No," hessaid, "I have not seen him, but I believe in him. Nothing is impossible here, for the unseen be- | comes seen in times like this." EASTER ISLAND. Mystery of Its Ancient Relics Still aa Unsolved Problem. Easter Island, which beloogs . to Chile, is about 2,000 miles from the mainland of South America. To archaeologists Easter Island is one of those unsolved problems with which they grapple more or less successful- ly; and stone images, remains of ter- raced structures and other evidences of a race that formerly dwelt in the island continue to draw investigators to the barren spot in the Pacific ocean. The relics on Easter Island find archaeologists of opposite opinions regarding the people who occupied the place centuries ago. As it is at Present the island covers about 42 square miles in area, and ft is looked upon as the most edsterly of the Poly- nesian group. It/ derived its name from the on which it was discov ered by o Jacty Roggeveen, a Dutchyskipper, who in 1722 is sup- posed to have been the first to sight the land. Present inbabitants of Easter Is- land have distinct Polynesian charac: teristics, but to these few hundred people the . antiquities, with then curious signs, mean nothing at all. As to who were the builders of the truly remarkable remains of a form- er civilization, this is the great puz- zle found by all investigators. Some of the terraces, erected on headlands, with a wall toward the sea, must have been 30 feet high when built and their length is indicated at from 200 to 300 feet. The terraces were constructed of large cut stone, fitted together with cement, and the large Stone pedestals with images evidently served as deities. No less than 550 of these stone images have been found. There are three craters of extinci volcanoes on Easter Island, and one of these is nearly 2,000 feet deep. In- side one of these craters are about half a hundred of the stone images, and the wonder is what means were employed to get others like them out, as at the foot of the slope of the crater are more images, some of them in various stages of formation. In height they range from 4 feet to nearly 80 feet. These figures clearly are all of the same type and general characteris tice. The head is long and the eyes close under the heavy brows; the nose large, low-bridged and very broad at the nostrils, the upper lip short and the lips pounting. The head is nearly always tilted back- ward. The forms generally end at the waist, and some only at the shoul: ders, very little work having been done below these points. Wooden tablets found on the is- land, specimens of which are now in the Santiago Museum, are incised with hieroglyphics, which show that the carver must have been very skill- ful. Figures of men, animals, geo- metric designs, constitute the alpha- bet. Ii is easily believed that these tablets contain the history of the an- cient people, but thus far no archaeo- logical expert has been able to de- cipher them.
