Katy Fox Jcnckcn arrived yesterday from
England ON the Persian Monarch and she
intends to cooperate with her sister
Margarctta Fox Kanc-in her proposed
expose Of the fraudulent methods of So
called spirituolism,
Mrs. Jcnckcn's coming was unexpected
to her sister, and 1t will surprise the en-
cmics Of both OF them.
The blow TO spiritualism which Maggie
Fox struck not long ago caused u GOOD
deal more Of CONSERVATION than spiritual
lists generally have cared TO confess. There
is ample reason for stating that underneath
a plausible surface of enforced calm thcro
have been the hurried exchanges Of fore
bodings and doubtings, and many consult
taiions and going TO aud fro. II is known
that an overture WIS made 10 Maggie Fox
suggestive Of n money consideration for
her silence, and that she rejected with
much indignation.
