cHucAco,s LUMBER INDUSTRY
succumbIng to the Changes Brought
About by the Iron Horse.

CHICAGO, March 30.-"Chicago is slowly
but surely losing its place as the largest lum-
Der market in the world" Thus spoke the
secretary of the Lumbermen's Exchange, I
F. Swan. In support of his statement he
furnished the names of several lumber firms
that have recently either gone out Of the
lumber business entirely, removed to other
places, or which will do so in the near future.
In the whole of the British Isles only 900,-
OOO, 900 feet of lumber changed hands last
year. Chicago alone sold over 1000, 600
feet or more than twice as much. The cap
ital invested in 1t in this city amounts to
hundreds of millions of dollars, and many
thousands of the population find lucrative
employment in handling the lumber. When
1t is considered that there were, ON January
1 last, only eighty-three lumber dealers in
Chicago, and that out of this number dozen
are leaving this city or the business this
spring, it will be apparent that grave dam
gers must be threatening the lumber inter-
ests of Chicago.
A. G. Van Schalck, not many years ago
president of the Lumbermen's Exchange and
a member of one of the largest lumber firms
in the world, says In explanation of these
facts that the great increase of railroad facil-
tiles in the last few years has kept on until
now there is no important lumber manufac-
turing point not supplied with direct railway
communication. 1t is now costing a great
deal less to ship from the mills to the con-
sumer than by way of Chicago.

NINE. DIS DEsAR's VICTIM.
The Strange HallucInation Of Luther
Marsh, a New York Lawyer.

New YORK, March 50.-A score Of inquis-
tive gentlemen assembled at the home Of
Luther r. Marsh, the well known lawyer
and poet, No. 166 Madison Avenue, Wednes-
day night, to examine some Of the paintings
which Mr.. Marsh claims were produced by
spirits. Mr. Marsh was in the best Of hu-
NOR and took great delight in exhibiting
some hundred paintings which hungin every
available part of the room. to his guests.
Most of the pictures. said the poet, had ap-
peared before his eyes on an unstained and
immaculate canvas held above the head Of a
person, without the aid Of any visible artist.
Nine. Dis Debar, who, he continued, pro-
duced the picture by means Of a spiritualistic
power, was not spiritnalist but deyotee
Of new school. She said she did not know
how the power came to her, but she could
produce the pictures and other phenomena,
such as spirit writing on pad of paper and
the passage Of matter through ma tier, almost
at WILL After the guests had viewed the
pictures which consisted of some very bad
copies of the old masters, number Of pads
containing messages from the spirits were
shown. When Mr.. Marsh was asked If the
spirits had directed him In his earthly affairs,
he said that they had, and that he had deed
ed his house in such manner that the new
idea could always be kept in IL.
Nine. Dis Debar is well known to a num-
Der of people in New York DR.. Ferdinand
Seeger has got her record from 1871, when
the doctor was chief of the medical staff of
the Hahnemann Hospital, and he yesterday
told reporter some very interesting remin-
iscences Of Nine. Debar.
Early In December Of 1870 she appeared at
the Hahnemann Hospital, said the doctor.
It was then located In East Fifty-fifth street,
between First and Second avenues. She
brought a letter of introduction from DR..
Zetlinski, requesting she should be admitted
for treatment, the statement being made that
she was suffering from hemorrhage of the
lungs. 1t was found, however, that the
blood, which was supposed to come from her
lungs she sucked through cavity in tooth.
Afterwards she became so violent that 1t
was necessary to put her In straight jacket,
At that time Nine. Debar was well built
woman, about 25 or % years of age and quite
good looking. On Sunday night, her devout
pupil, Mr.. Marsh is to lecture at Chickering
Hall, where he will exhibit on a large screen
Photographic shades of the original spirit
paintings as they come on the canvas which
he holds over his head while Nine. Debar
stands by. watching for tiny electric spark
to light on the frame. The apparition of the
spark is signal that the spook painter has
finished his job.

THE FLAM ES.
Dangerous Work for the Chicago
Firemen-one Man Killed.

CHICAGO, March 30.-A five story building
at the corner Of Peoria and Lake streets,
Chicago, took fire at an early hour this morn
ing. 1t was filled with infiammable material.
Soon after 2 o'clock, the fire spread to a
couple of residences west Of the burning
block, and soon after row of wooden tene-
ments across the street began to blaze. The
occupants were able to save but little Of the
furniture. 1t is believed that one man was
burned to death. While the fire was raging
most fiercely large section of the Lake
street wall of the burning building fell out
and two or three firemen were quite serious
ly injured.
men who were preparing to leave the fourth
floor, were knocked down and badly bruised
by terrific explosion of hot air. They hard
ly got out before the floors fell to the base
ment. The fire was the most stubborn the
firemen have had to encounter for long
time.
The losses on the buildings and to the oc-
cupants aggregate $300,0 Davis d Rankin,
dairy supplies, the Skinner Refrigerator
Company, Licnp, Weaver 81 Co., tinware,
and the Goss Printing Press Company are
the principal losers. The insurance is small.

SOCIAL PURITY.
Yesterdays Topic Before tho we'
mems Council at Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-At to-day's ses-
sion of the women's council, Annarche
Powell. of the New York commission for
the prevention and regulation of vice, spoke
in condemnation of the licensing OF prostitu-
ton. She then spoke of the ageof protec-
tion in the various States. and paid tribute
to Kansas as having made the age Is, while
In one State it was as low as seven.
Mrs. Armiston Chant was introduced. She
had been in this work 25 years and
vouched for the truthfulness Of Mr.. Stead's
charges in the Pail Mall Gazette, saying she
would stake her life on their correctness. She
spoke principally of the work OF the social
purity societies in Great Britain. Since be-
ginning her work she had seen marvellous
results She denounced the British govern
ments blue book as containing stories OF
the wrong doings of the peers of Great
Britain even worse than those published in
the Pail Mall Gazette. II any one says, 1T is
dangerous Tor women to engage in the work
OF this kind, the answer is that the women
who have been engaged in it, stand forth to-
dav with whole hearts. She preferred to
speak to mixed meetings because men and
women were equally responsible for the COM
mission of sin. She also said that dress for
our children should be a moral as well as a
physical covering. The address was en-
Enthusiastically received by the audience. Mrs,
