WHAT A sPRrrUAL1sT TOLD LAWYER HOUSE
4 marvellous string Of incidents in the carec
OF Orson A. House, the divorce lawyer, whit
was killed By his wife some time ago, are finding
their way into print Among the most note
worthy is one relative to visit made By House
in company with client, to Charley Foster, TIT
spiritual medium, who undertakes, for ducatt
to him duly delivered, to call spirits from the
Vastly deep, and reveal past, present, and future.
| After the usual preNminaries, House ito satisfy
! his client, who was himself Spiritualist) asked
| Foster to inquire OF the spirits how he could
prove the iundclty Of the clients wife, for whom
| he was trying to obtain divorce. The medium
turned savagely on House, and denounced him
| as everything vile. "Why," said he, 0"at this
moment above your head hangs the spirit of de-
struction. From divorce suit of your planning
will come to you violent and dreadful death.
The wretchedness you have planted in so many
hearts is growing like rank weed in your own.''
House was much incensed by this affair, and
never omitted an opportunity afterward to de-
nounce SplEtualism as q fraud and humbug
But his tragic death by the hand Of the woman
Tor whom he bad procured divorce from an-
other husband proves the fullllmcnt OF Fosters
TouNG LADY DEBuTASTRs.
It is announced that well-known society
young lady, whose father is worth million, will
make her debut during the coming
season at the Fifth Avenue Theatre.
This is all We are told just now,
but privately it is mentioned that she is a
blonde, petite in form, and her wardrobe dis
plays some astonishingly magnificent costumes.
There is furorc among certain class Of socie-
ty bellies in New York to become acquainted
with actors and actresses off the stage. There
is q sort Of glamour about the stage which
affects many young ladies just as the sun on
the water affects fair conplexions-thcy are
burnt! One of the principal causes Of the i'll
crcasing tendency among Young women iu this
city to study for the stage is the fascination Of
private theatricals, which are pet institutions
every winter. Dramatic Clubs are more prt-
tcntious affairs nowadays than formerly, when
a few familiar friends gathered together to
amuse themselves and friends by some light
comedy performance iu friends parlor Now
these clubs perform in private theatres with
regularly appointed etasc-furuiturc, aud before
critical audiences. The newspapers report
these hiEh-toncd private theatricals with
the same seriousness as il the
performers were professional. Voc butidc tho
young amateur actress who is publicly praised
upon the occasion OF one Of these private Der
forulanccs It is as fatal to her future as prus-
sic-qcid She i1nagnes herself a born Siddous,
anG is never at rest until she IS duly installed
as pupil Of Fanny N1orant or iliss Davenport,
or some other professional, ard is regularly
studying for the stage. Ii she has wealthy con-
nections it suits tac purposes of the managers
irst-rate to encourage s;.u.l efforts Nv promising
al carly engagement. Cat Of the private the
atr:cal SUCCESS the desire to- BECOME shining
light in the dramatic profession is born, and t
is stated Oh competent authority that there are
over thirty young ladies now taking lessons for
the stage, with I'LL almost positive certainty
staring them in the face that not more than
three Of the thirty. will finally succeed. But
and do not design hiding it in napkin Let us
hope some Of them may find joy and happiness
in Their ei,ucavors.
