WnnderfuI Seances.


To the Editor OF the TELEGRAM-HERALD.
Permit me to call the attention of the
readers OF the TELEGRAM HERALD TO the
wonderful spirit manifestations that occur
in the stances held by Messrs. Herrick q
Barus, at the residence of Mr.. Caleb Urich,
at 81 Bosrwick-st. ! have attended the
seances of many of the most noted physical
mediums, but for variety Of manifestations
| think Messrs. Herrick & Barns seances
are the best Mr. Herrick is well known,
not only in this city but throughout the
United States, as one of the best spirit por-
trait artists and physical mediums, and
Mr.. Barnes as an independent spirit voice
medium IS equally known. These gentle
men combine their forces, and really the
result is beyond pen description. A
guitar, harp and mouth organ float about
the room over our heads playing music,
and at the same time bells float IN the air
keeping time TO the music and two or three
spirits would be writing in an Independent
hand 10 some one sitting in the circle. the
spirit always signing his or her name, and,
too often in a hand that is as well known
a. the spirit who writes, then the message
j. carried by the spirit from the table on
which ne OF 5uc wrote. 10 the one 10 WHOM
IL is written. There was also singing by the
spirits in an independent voice, one Of
whom sang IN full. round tone, Home.
Sweet Home accompanied by another
spirit on the harp that lay on the table in
the center OF the circle. We all sat IN a
circle each holding the one next 10 him or
Der By the hand, Including the mediums
We also had naturalization of hands and
arms 20 the elbows. and full Inaterialzed
faces. and had the pleasure Of shaking
hands with one 5. whom J well knew be-
fore ne passed 20 spirit life. and vino, dur
ing the evening. wrote me a letter signing
his name that covered three sheets of paper
This in my humble opinion, answers the
question. If a man die shall be live
again. and shows the error of our Ad

sleeps in the grave until-weu. no one

PunicaIiy spea king water Conundrums"
-Hero IL one of Ch.n.

Pun'cAIy Speaking ""'aier Conundrum,''
Here H. One of Tl.m.
The water question is the all absorbing
topic of the hour. Dire is the contention
and great the perturbation of the public
mind. Propositions. arguments, questions
and counter questions are flying thick and
fast, and the average citizen is tired and
broken up and ceases trying to formulate
the situation. except perhaps by concluding:
Something Is rotten in Denmark
Under these circumstances il cannot. Of
course, be expected that the subject. which
is serious and has several complications,
should be inteiligently considered by the
people. For thorough and intelligent ap-
prehensiOn of ii We must have time and
facts.
The TELEenAN-HE aims to give the
public ali sides of the question with a view
of getting at the facts. "Supposing." said
an old citizen yesterday first that the
charter of the Hydraulic co. is valid. and.
secondly. that the Council rejects the com
panys proposition 10 purchase what will
be the result 10 the city financially"
Certain things are conceded. VIZ.
insuiticiency OF the present supply
and It's bad quality. and hence
the necessity Of a new source. improved
works. and an extension OF them, and
hence large extra outlay Of money esti-
mated At from 0ue-half 20 three-Q quarters Of
a million dollars. This. let us say, viii
pat the city works ia running order. with
ability To furnish the needed supply. and
here would begin ils competition with The
hydraulic company. The effect Of this
competition IS the point IN question. II is
a question purely economical. patriotism
cuts no figure ~ II, every man is going TO
buy water where he can get the most and
best Of IL for the least amount of money.
