circumstance was that they we're all OF
the same size. One after another OF the
men were invited to go Tor
ward to the cabinet and meet
these spirits. After they reached
the curtains they could be seen to grasp
the supposed spirit forms, and the num-
her of kisses exchanged was too great to
be counted. This was kept up for some
time. One Young lady went forward and
met man whom she declared she rec
opnized, in fact all those who were called
forward said they recognized departed
friends. The reporters were not lnviteo
forward
The three great events Of the afternoon
closed the seance. The first OF these was
the supposed naturalization OF a woman,
who walked around the circle and shook
hands with the people. The reporters
could not reach her hand, but they could
see that her arms, which were bare, were
very material, and her face and neck did
not appear as spiritual as might have
been supposed they would under the cir
cumstances. She walked back to the
cabinet and disappeared. The medium had
walked around the room with the spirit
close by. The next was an illustration
of how spirits form. From distance II
appeared as if a spirit grew out OF the
floor, but the deception is old, having
been performed with black curtains in 9
dark room many times in public and ex'
planned. The supposed spirit then sank
into the floor apparently, the curtains
gradually closing in front of white
dress. The last manifestation was the
drawing of pictures on the paper before
mentioned by spirit artist. At frs
sight these pictures which were distrib
uted among the audience, were rather
peculiar, but short study showed how
simply they were made. They had beer
prepared before hand in about the SAM
manner that splatter pictures are pro
duced. This closed the performanc,
with the exception OF a collection OF 81
cents per head from the audience, th'
| medium clearing from $12 to SIS for tw'
hours work. The whole arrangement
was so simple that it is wonder g
many people are deceived by it.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-18
THE SPIRITS.
How Easily They materialize in
This City.

This City.
There seems to be number of SO.
called spiritualistic mediums in this city
who are drawing a support for them
selves and families from the credulous
people who believe that what they gee
and hear are manifestations made by
friends and relatives who have departed
this life. 1t was with view of seeing
how easily people are ''gulled," that 9
couple of reporters visited a seancs held
on Byron street yesterday afternoon. II
was not easy to gain admittance to the
circle, for the reporters did not look like
the rest of the twenty-five or thirty peo.
pie who were there, and they were
strangers. A short parley at the Coor
they were there simply as investigators,
and they were ushered into a
room whose walls were COW
cred with black paper, when they
were given seats as far away from the
cabinet as possible, and behind the row
OF chairs where the faithful were seated.
At 2 O'Clock the doors and windows were
heavily battened, and shades OF heavy
black material were tackled over them,
excluding every ray of light. The only
light in the room came from small oil
lamp which was placed on small cup
board, whence its feeble rays shone on
the audience, and not on the cabinet
The medium had carefully abstained
from inviting inspection of that p ri of
the room set aside as cabinet, and for
all any one knows, there might have
been several doors leading into it.
After the light had been arranged, the
medium exhibited what purported
to be . number of blank sheets
of paper, stating that a spirit
artist would probably appear and
draw pictures on them. Tnen the paper
was placed on stand near the cabinet
and the familiar song Of "Sweet Bye and
Bye" was sung by the circle while the
com posed herself in q chair
directly in front of the black curtains
which divided the cabinet from the
main room. A few seconds later the
curtains shook and what purported to be
the spirit of a child called Milly ap-
peared as shadowy white substance. A
piping voice announced her presence
Then the white ghost disappeared and the
medium got up and went behind the
curtain. Then commenced q series OF
mRterializations Of grown
women, Ill dressed in white. A curious
