Presentations by a Medium Which
Were Not Re.iShed.


Rev. Miss M. E. AIdrich opened the
spirituaist meeting last evening at the
stone chapel on Wacouta street. near
Eighth. with learned dissertation on
lncorporeal bodily service. music of ma
ture, harmony of the spheres and other
things ethereal. Upon closing her re-
marks, she introduced TO ali audience

of man who has On his staff all of the
most noted Sponks, from the brainy

struck Billy Patterson. Not only is the
doctor able to see and understand the
feelings of the large circle of spooks of
his acquaintance. but he greets them
all in that offhand manner and open
cordially with which q buncO SteeIer

many spirits that the doctor observed

old lady. who informed him that she de-

place, and located in the dense timber.
The old lady was slightly deformed-
had very short upper lip and very
long under One-and this may be the
reason why the grandchild she claimed
to have in the audience failed to recog-
niZe her. The medium explained that
people of the earth felt the insult deeply
when cut in this manner, but that Spir-
its were much more deeply ggcyed
when sighted, particularly by their re-
lativeS He also stated that the audience
could do as they saw fit about recogniZ-
ing their spiritual friends, but that he
would not desist from introducing them.
The next party presented was man

| to the medium. Several friends of the
spirit were known to be present, but
they snubbed him TO man.
Another spook who presented himself
! was a Jolly old member from the rural
| districts OF Maine. The medium stated

That's Jim Goen," shouted big
man from the rear of the hall, and the

tenance of the medium was something
! wonderful to behold.
Several other spooks of DR.. Trow-

services closed by passing the hat.
The meetings will be continued for

A Horses Ear for Music.

Chicago Herald.
The following story is told by Fred
Grant: In his last year at West Point
he held the position of captain of artil-
lery. One day the visiting officer, who
happened to be his father, Gen. Grant,
held an inspection and drill. After the
cadets had assembled on the parade
ground it was decided to give the COM
mands by bug}e-call. The officers
would then deliver them by word of
mouth to the men.
Fred Grant had a VIGOROUSLY bad ear
for music. He had never been able to
master a single tune, and, worse still,
had no idea of time. When the an
nouncement of the mode of giving the
orders was made he rushed up to
comrade and said: "Great goodness
what shall | do? ! can't tell the diff
ference between the charge and the
retreat"
His friends advised him to change his
horse for MaZeppa, a horse of one of
the SergeantS. She would carry him
through. He hastily did so, and watched
every movement of his animal during
the ensuing evolutions. When the bugle
sounded forward" the knowing ami
nal advanced, and the command was
accordingly given to the men. When
the call of "halt" came Mazeppa stood
like rock. and the proper order was
issued by the officer. In this way the
horse, by its ear for music, told its rider
the orders of the day, and carried him
safely through the complicated move
ments of the drill.

of one who gives utterance to self-evi-

every one present to hear:
why, Mrs. Handley, how homely
you are"'
While the victim was hiding her con-
fusion as best she might, and the rest
were trying hard to conceal their
amusement, the young lady herself was
hastily taken from the room.
Once in the hall she was dealt with
somewhat severely, and made to feel
enormity of her unintentional rudeness.
Then she was taken back to apologize
Walking straight up to Mrs. Handley,
while all the ladies held their breath to
