Profits by farming come slowly

Farmers often save as much as
they need on the farm, and Il pen
ny saved is as good as a penny
earned, and little better.

Prom an Empire to Republic.


Brazil, the largest Of the South
American Countries and the only
Empire in the New World, has
thrown Off the yoke Of monarchy
and joined the constellation Of
American Republics. Dom Pedro
has sought for more than twenty
years to fit the people for self
Government, and the transmis-

canism was bloodless andsthe new

heroically to the inevitable and
his devotion to tho best interests
of Brazil, and his love for the
people, have never appeared
stronger than in his exile in Lis
bon, and his memory will ever be
green in the hearts Of his late
subjects. The name of the new
Republic is the United States OF
Brazil, and its form Of Govern
ment will be similar TO ours. The
Empire has been grand for the
rights and privileges it has given
to tho people. Under the Rcpub-
lie We hope a fresh impetus may
be given and that brazil may be

Lulu Billings.

she concluded by singing a Chinese song
and playing chop-stiek accompaniment,
after which she shook her head several times
and arose from the piano.
She seems to undergo no unusual physi-
cal or mental strain while in the trance.
She says she experiences the most delightful
sensations, but is oblivious to all around her,
and can see nothing but her director, who
stands in front of her and guides her by
voice and gesture. She cannot recall her
visions after returning to herself, and SAYS
she has no control over her hands while
playing. Miss Billings has been handed q
harp while in trance, and has PLAYED
beautifully upon it. The same may be said
of the other instruments mentioned which
she has played.
Mrs. Billings told the reporter that about
nine years ago was the first that the family
knew that Lulu was controlled by spirits.
One night they were calling upon some
neighbors who were spiritualists, when Lulu
ing upon the piano. The room was entirely
dark. They heard her playing familiar
songs, but after time the music became Of
such an order and so strange that they went
into the room and lighted the gas. She
says Lulu sat there playing like mad, her
hair streaming over her face. She ran to
the piano and shook her, when Lulu gave q
scream and fell to the floor in fainting
condition.
AN INDIAN SPIRIT LOVER.
Mrs. Billings says that when Emma Alb
bott was playing here, she sat by her win
dow in the Powers Hotel, across the street,
and listened in amaZement to Lulu, who was
playing and singing. She made inquiries
regarding her and in company with Mrs.
Omar Gage, the clerks wife, who was a
friend Of the Billingses, called to see her
and hear her sing. She did so and Miss
Abbott pronounced the performance wonder
full and her voice superb.
Mr.. Billings says that Lulu is guarded by
the spirit of an Indian named Oneata, who
gives her strength and calls her his "little
squsw Lulette." She says her daughter
sings in Spanish, French, italian, German,
Chinese and in the ancient Hindoo dialect,
the latter fact she having learned from Row.
ley, the celebrated medium of Cleveland, o.
Mr.. Billings does not believe in spiritual
ism despite his daughters manifestation.
Personally Miss Billings is an attractive
young lady of retiring disposition and has
large circle of acquaintance who marvel
at her wonderful power. She has had offers
from well-known managers, at a large
salary, to go on the stage and show the pub
lie her spirit power" but modestly de-
clines all offers and says that she ''does not

S4kNEXHE who was for over 20
HuKVxAI years connected with the
HHES fee in this city, is Great
VIZ ing no end of excite
ment here by her won-
derfuI spiritual manifestations and powers.
Miss Billings is a>tall, slim brunette, about
% years of age, with rather pretty face
and quiet, attractive ways. She is not a
person who would be supposed to be in
league with spirits, but it seems that she is
endowed with supernatural musical power.
For several years Miss Lulu has been able
to sing while in q trance state, but 1t seems
that her parents have been so averse to hav-
ing the public know the facts, that they
have successfully concealed them, and, until
recently, but very few have ever listened to
the fair musician during one of her spirit
performances.
The young lady will take her seat at the
piano, and after few nervous movements
of her head passes into an unconscious or
"trance state" during which she plays and
sings with the greatest ease and skill tine
most beautiful and difficult songs. The
strange feature of all is that she sings in
five different languages, all of which are un-
known to her, as she can only speak and
understand her native English tongue.
CONTROLLED BY SPIRITS.
She has no knowledge of music whatever,
except what her mother has taught her on
the piano, and even then her skill as a
pianist is by no means above the average of
that of many girls of 1S years of age, yet
her playing while in the trance state is
Ioo II in fha he y1la
while under control of the spirits, the
guitar, flute, violin, cornet and harp like a
master, although she has never received
moments instruction on any of them.
She says she is controlled and directed by
an italian musician who has been dead for
several centuries, and whom she says was q
noted scholar named Ingrelio. Under his
direction, while in the trance state, she i'm
provises rare harmonies, strains of soft, ma
iestic sweetness and chords of solemn, touch
ing pathos. Her playing while not in the
trance is of q very common order, and the
style is entirely different. She has sweet
soprano voice of considerable range, but
when she is in the trance it is intensified to
double its natural power.
A DISPATCH representative called at the
home of the Billingses, in the handsome
Howe fats on North Fitzhugh street, and
met Mrs. Billings and her daughter. When
asked to play and sing she smilingly con-
sented. Seating herself at the piano,
she passed her hands rapidly before
her face several times, and be-
gan playing very pretty air and
q sweet voice sang Spanish love song in
the Hispanian tongue. She played a most
difficult accompaniment, consisting of runs
and trills that blended beautifully with her
voice. During the rendition of the piece
her eyes were tightly closed and she held
