1t is l76 on the DEVILS side.
You see that sensible men will

their noses tearfully to spite their

in Richie will now have profitable
meditation while their mangled

enemies of herself and her cause. Five
minutes of loquacity ensued, however,
and in that time she said that she was
constantly in the company OF h same
band of spirit guides who hal controlled
her while at the residence of Mr..
Marsh; that they consisted of six an
Gent Greeks. two indians, an American
and a Spaniard. They had promised to
continue their backing of her and to
make her proposed enterprise success
full. She thought it doubtful whether
they would produce any more pictures
for her, and it was more likely that her
seances would be devoted TO materlali-
cation.
The madame expected to go u great
way beyond anything in that line that
had been achieved by other mediums.
District Attorney Fellows was asked
| whether he would deem it his duty to
indict and prosecute Madame Diss
Debar in case she resumed business on
her release from imprisonment. He
| said it would depend upon whether
| anybody complained of being swindled
by her. If she simply gave %seances,
with an admission fee. she would only
be doing what two or threetdoAen other
mediums practice unmolested in this
city. and he should not feel IT to be his
| duty to interfere. III rested faLncf WIN
the police to raid such concerns, if they
| thought best.
superintendent Murray, the head of
| our police. said that spiritual medium
| ship, as ordinarily practlccd, was hard
ly II sort of evil for the police to try TO
abate. 1t vas IA religious matter any
how, and he felt sure that the Di5s De-
bar would not be molested ia giving or
binary exhibitions. 'i.'
Thus it looks as though the woman
will soon make rs much of II fortune as
the one which she scherned to get out
| of Marsh. and this time ia safety.

New York Letter: Nine. Diss Debar,
who is serving out a term of imprison-
ment in the p~eniteutiary on a convic-
ton OF having swindled Lawyer Luther
X. Marsh by means of pretended spirit
pictures, will, on her open
"a house in this city for seances.
She calculates that her punishment
will constitute her a martyr in the ayes
OF s~pirituafists, while even to unbeliev-
ers it will recommend her as Il famous
medium.
An agent has leased for her a house
at l5l West ~Forty-ninth street, and the
premises will be converted by her into
what she will call a temple of the
spirits.
There is in this city a Bureau of Spir-
itual Investigation, composed OF leading
spiritualists, who undertake to investi-
gate the work of mediums, with a view
of exposing fraud and endorsing hon
esty. These men are of unquestionable
sincerity, and their verdict carries
weight with S~piritualists everywhere.
They attended the trial of Madame
Dis Debar, and from the beginning to
the end; they have since looked further
Into the question of her genuineness as
IL medium, and they have managed to
convince themselves that the ''phenom-
ena" produced by her are real and true.

correspondent.
1t tacitly, although not expressly, adj
mits that the oma may have resorted
to trickery to some extent, and that her
business dealings with Marsh were
wrong; but it is asserted at great length
and with much positiveness that the
portraits produced by her are made by
spirit hands, and that her seances for
the naturalization OF spirits have been
as wonderful as anything evolved by
s~piritualism.
Such an official Endorsement is bound
to make the woman accepted as a
medium by all spiritualists.

Arrested the Wrong Man.

G.. A, son of Contractor X. l.. Williams,
sworc out a warrant at the city clerks Office
yesterday afternoon for the arrest of John
Mahar, who runs the lunch counter at the
Turf, and BILLY Walters, a city gambler, for
assault with intent TO kill. Young Williams
story of the affair is as follows: He was
going home Monday night at about midnight,
and when in the vicinity of the Methodist
church he met q woman, who asked him to
accompany her home, as she did not
like to go alone. He consented, and
the pair started down Broad
way, meeting Mahar and Walters near
the No. 4 hose house. A few friendly words
were eXch anged between the woman and
Walters, who is reputed to be her ''solid
man." The couple passed on down Broad
way, and no more was seen of the men until
they reached the corner OF Seventh street,
when they jumped out from behind the cor
ner OF the drug store, and began to beat Will
liams over the head, one, with a slungshot
and the other with a loaded cane. He was
knocked down repeatedly by the cowardly
%rufians, and finally left on the ground in
sensible. He was arrested shortly after
ward by Captain Dyer and taken to
the station house, where a charge of
disturbing the peace was lodged against
him, and ne was thrown into a cell. His
father was notified, and the boy was re-
leased about 4 o'clock. His head presented
a horrible sight, being covered with large
punches, raised by the terrific blows of the
heavy weapons. One eve was swollen ON
pletely shut, the victims face was discolored
and he was covered with blood. IL is rather
a strange proceeding to throw an innocent
man into jail, simply because he is found
almost insensible on the streets, bruised and
bleeding, when his condition shows him 10
be a better candidate for medical attendance.

Richard, son of Patrick Hannifan. died
yesterday morning at his fathers home near
Underwood, aged twcnty-three years. The
deceased was in the city on the preceding
evening, and news of his death excited gen
eral surprise among those who saw him on
the street so short n time previously. He
was in the habit of drinking heavily, and it
is thought that the exec ssive use of liquor
may nave had something to do with his early
death. The time OF his funeral has not yet
been announced, but due notice of it will be
giyeu later.

During the month of January last w. G.
Mead filed an information against II. c.
Barnes, charging him with larceny. Barnes
was then an employee of j. f. Sieberling &
Co., of Chicago, and the alleged larceny was
of the company's money, which the accused
was charged with collecting and converting
to his own use. TIL case was brought be-
fore Judge Barnett. Various preteXts were
assigned for securing c"ontinuances, and the
case was set for trial a half dozen or more
times. Later, Attorney Sims filed two other
informations of the same import: but a hear
ing OF these cases was never secured. Dur
ing the latter part of May an agent of the
above firm came here and told the justice
that the cases were settled, and ON the last
time set for the trial there was no appearance
of anyone representing the prosecution and
the cases were dismisseds the costs
being taxed 10 the plaintiff. Yesterday
the costs were paid and Barnes now has the
annoying record cleared up.
1t is understood that the same course is to
be followed in the James Il. Lee case. Col
onel Daily, the county attorney, is reported
as determined to push the case to the end and
not allow any patching up. If he prosecutes
it seems that it will be no easy matter to
settle it, as ii is said the state has in its
possession an admission of Lee that he actu-
ally helped himself to money belonging to
the Boston Tea company. His justification
is said to be that the firm owed him and he
took this peculiar way to secure his pay.
There seems to be a growing practice Of
using the criminal arm of the law to force
the collection of debts and the settlement of
| financial difficulties. Just how far this sort
of practice can go is not determined. 1t
seems that there is a great recklessness here
in charging men with crookedness, or else
| those who file informations are not so anx-
ious to have the guilty punished as to secure
enough cash to make them whole.

Alleged Child Murder.

BISMARCK, March 17.-One of the
most horrible and atrociOus affairs that
ever agitated this city has just come to
light here. Some time ago the daughter
of John Millett died very sud-
denly and under suspicious circum-
stances. The funeral was surrounded
with mystery, and public curiosity and
suspicion was considerably increased
when it became known that instead OF
the child being buried in the graveyard
the body was inferred in a lot owned by
Millett near the town, where he has a
truck farm. Public opinion became so
pronounced that cor0ner's jury was
impaneled and the body Of the child
exhumed. The whole body was ter
rible bruised, and bore the marks OF
severe beating. Everything about the
body indicated that the child came to
its death through the cruelty of it's par
ents. Tn examination was conducted
by Drs. Parter and Petit. When Mil
lett was brought before the jury he de-
MED the charges which were made
against him. There is much public in
dignation over the matter, and the case
will be brought before the grand jury.

THE THREE-sTRIKE RULE.
s'BiIly" Halves Thinks 1t Will Not
Lessen the Batting.

i "Billy" HAYES, first baseman of the
Minneapolis team, has written an inter-
esting letter On the subject of the return
to the new three-strike rule. He says:
GAS to the three-strike rule and its
effects on batting, l think it will make
little difference in the number of actual
hits. Of course batting averages will
fall ON account of doing away with
phantom hits. The fourth strike made
no especial difference in actual batting;
it was only an incentive to wait for a
base on balls, and that was thing
that Minneapolis people did not like to
see. Thep wanted player to hit the
ball. Last season at most any stage of
the game a player would not hit at the
first two strikes, and consequently the
fourth strike was only a delay to the
game. The way to increase batting
would be to return to the high and low
ball, and, with the restrictions placed on
the pitcher last year. it would make
good, lively batting. | am satisfied, for
one, with the three strikes, and [ think
the people will like it much better, as it
Will shorten game. Last year some
of the games must have been very tire
some to the spectators. | think l can
get as many actual hits this year as |
did last, if not more, as the low ball will
not bother Inc as it did last spring.
