The Strange Experience of
Western Man with q Medium,
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
During the time the spirits were
writing on the slate l felt something
touch me on the knee, and turning my
eye i'll that direction l saw q well de-
yeloped female hand, small and deli
cate. protruding from under the table.
1t disappeared rs soon as | noticed it.
l asked the medium ii she had thrust
her hand under the table and touched
me. She replied in the negative.
| then requested her to place her
hand, sitting as she WAS, under the
table and out on theopposite side from
where she sat. She complied, but with
the slate, in addition to her length of
arm extended, she could not reach
where | had sat by from ten to twelve
inches. seated myself in her chair,
and sitting in the same position us she
did, with my long arms l could not
reach the opposite side OF the table
with the tips OF my fingers. Where
did this hand come from? l asked
permission to move the table to an
other part OF the room, which was
granted, and l placed the table sever
al feet from where it had been, and
the mediums chair l so placed that
she could barely hold the slate under
the. shawl. We took our seats, and
at once writing was received on the
slate as follows:
"No, Harry: tina was not the mediums
hand; it was our daughters. She desires
to shake hands with papa. We will all do

LuELLA.
Again the delicate hand touched me,
and by direction Of the medium l
placed my hand with open palm in
close proximity to the shawl covering
the table. AS did SO the spirit hand
took hold OF my little finger by hook
ing its little finger on to mine. Then
each finger was taken up with re-
markable timidity, and finally my
hand was taken hold OF and pressed
very delicately. When attempted to
grab it it melted away like so much
snow. Another arm then came forth,
showing the arm half way to the elbow.
This l at once recognized as belonging
to my wife from its well known shape.
Shegraspedmy hand as any one would

to critically examine it. In appear.

very fascinating. In the attempt to
grasp it the hand would melt away,
but would form again in my sight just
as held it. Assoon as my wife with

power as to press IL ring on my little

melting away.

Success in Families.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Forty-five years ago a young man
and his wife began life in Fayette,
Howard county, Missouri, in an hum
BILE way. In the prime Of life the man
died, leaving a widow, with a modern
income, and four boys. The eldest
graduated at the naval academy with
unusual distinction, rose to the rank
OF lieutenant, and died while still a
young man. The second son., Eugene
Russell Hendrix, entered the Metho-
dist ministry, and soon took rank AS
q leading pulpit orator. Elected presi-
dent OF Central college, at Fayette,
ten years ago he rescued it from in
solvency and made it one OF the most
fourishing institutions in the Nest.
A Jew days ago, at the age Of thirty
eight years, he was elected bishop OF
the southern NJ. F.. church, being the
youngest man yer elected to the bish-
opric by that branch OF the Methodist
church. The third brother, Joseph
Hendrix, graduated at Cornell
University, and did somcreportingfor
the New York Sun, which pleased the
editor so well that he placed the
young ma in charge OF the Brooklyn
bureau of that paper. When thirty
years OF age he was nominated by the
Democrats for Mayor OF Brooklyn,
and came within a few hundred votes
OF defeating Mayor Low. Since then
he has been the New York CORE
spondent Of the st. Louis Republican
ut a handsome salary, and secretary
of the Brooklyn bridge trustees at a
salary OF 81, 800. Recently, without
application, he was appointed post
master ct Brooklyn at a salary OF
5000 q year. with an enormous
patronage. The youngest of his
brothers is only twenty four. He
went to Texas several years ago, and
is nov interested in a cattle ranch
which paid him $4,000 last year, and
is rapidly increasing in value. The
mother OF these boys is a devoted
church woman, and is quoted as say.
ing that she would rather have hel
son q bishopofthe Nj. E. Church South
than President OF the United States.

who rescue him, but he saysnaught OF

that all day and all night long has
watched and waited in an agony Of

Of the hotel.
There, in the presence of all, yet
seemingly unmindfu!, overcome at
last by the sight OF the agitated loving
face, with it's passionate eyes, raining
hot tears down upon his own, he sobs
out the whole story OF his hopes and
%lonsings for her, the ardent desires
that cling so fondly about the dear,
