AN APPOINTMENT THAT Is COMMENTED
IFON,-It viii be recOllected that on the = tn
Of August, last, Thomas ]. Clark, cOlOTed
man, who had been. on the 9th Of April
previous, appointed a private on the Metro
pOlitan police force. was dropped from the
rolls for alleged absence without leave for a
number Of days. 1t was stated at the time
that he had returned 20 his home in Alabama
TO take part in the political campaign of
that state. 1t appears that he was unSucs
ceSSfUl as q candidate for the state legiSla-
fUTe. and some months since returned here.
BY reference TO yesterdays proceedings Of
the Police BOard reported elsewhere il will
be seen that he has again been appointed on
the force. II appears from the record that
tlSrk is native Of Clayton, Ala, where he
was born October Sth, 1875, and that he bears
a gOOd character, bat the question which is
agitating other candidates for appointment
ON the force, and their friends, is this: How
a party who had his residence in Alabama
only few months since. and was a candi-
date for the legislature there. is eligible so
soon for a position "a private on the police
force here. when the rule is that an applicant
must have been a resident of the District
twelve MONTHS Another rule provides that
no Eer>On having been dismissed the force
shall bc rcSppOiuted.

The SPOOk Triekery Exposed.

y very remarkable private exhibition
showing up the tricks of the spirit mediums
was made at the Ebbitt House. by Prof G. w
Starr. a day or two since, in the presence of
several prominent clergyn1en of the city and
some representatives of the press. He per-
formed all the test tricks of the leading me-
d1umS-the Eddy Brothers, Foster, Katie
King, etc, etc.-and then showed the faOf,As
QPoGldi OF the receptions. Among these was
the blood writing, the bag trick, lin which the
operator, placed in bag fastened at the top
by strings sealed with wax, emergeS in sew
enty seconds, leaving the bag whole and with
ITS seals unbrOken,) and the trick of reading
what had been written by spectators upon
paper folded up in way TO conceal the
writing. The simplicity and neatness of the
expose OF the latter trick was notable, as were
also those illustrating the readiness with
which the senses OF feeling, sight and sound
may be misled by the mediums. 1t was
shown, for instance, that person blind
folded can be made to fully believe that
both hands OF the operator are pressed upon
his own, when, in fact, but one is so en-
ployed, and the other hand is at liberty to
ring bells, touch the face, and pull the hair
OF the blindfOlded man and execute all kinds
OF fealS of spiritual trickery. Prof Starr
allows yon 10 fetter him any way you please
with whatever you please in the shape of
ropes cords, fish lines, shOe-maker'S wax
threads, &c, I'LL his hands with -four, his
moulin full of water or lemonade, sit in the
middle OF the room allow You TO form n
circle around him so that he cannot receive
any outside assistance. yet as soon as the
nights go out the horns are blown, the bells
ring. and the musical instruments will all
try 10 out sound each other; light sstruck
and me Is Just as you left him-every eOndi-
ton the same.
The exhibition was in fact Overwhelmingly
conclusive in the way of showing that the
leatS of the sO-called spirit mediums are moth
ing but the grOSsest frauds; and at it's close
the following certificate was handed 10 Prof
starr. with the welcome signature OF every
minister present:
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Feb. p. 1873.
HaYlng attended an exhibition given by
Irot c W. Starr in private room at the
Ebbltt house, we are satisfied OF his ability
10 perform the feats usually exhibited as
spiritual manifestations, and believe that
those who are inclined te accept these as SUI
peTnatural tests may be entirely satisfied of
thelr human origin. and the exhibition will
be of interest 20 all citizens.
