THOUGHT-READER BISHOP.
His Celebrated Street Test to Be
Given TODAY,

Washington Irving Bishop. the world
renowned thought reader, who begins a
three-nights' engagement at the Peo-
pies tomorrow night, is stopping at the
Ryan. Mr.. Bishop has reconsidered his
determination not to give his street test.
He has decided that no distinction must
be made between St Paul and Minneap-
oils. He will consequently drive pair
of horses from the Ryan at 2:30 this
afternoon and, blindfolded, find needle
previously hidden by committee of
citizens. In Minneapolis last Weanes-
day it will be remembered that Mr..
Bishop was overcome by this test, and,
after succeeding in it, fell in catalep-
tic fit. He was unable to appear in The
evening. To-day, however, Mr.. Bishop
is in better condition physically and
will take the precaution of carrying
with him, as member of the commit
tee, physician fully prepared to treat
any condition that may arise. 1t is Mr.
Bishops custom to invite a number of
prominent citizens to meet him and help
form committee. His late decision to
give the test to-day has not allowed him
time to do this personally. The clergy
men, physicians and other citizens of
st. Paul interested in the physical and
physiological phases of his experiments
are therefore invited to meet him at the
Ryan to-day at 2:30 p. m. and witness
and assist in his experiment Mr..
Bishop in preparing the test will be
blindfOlded with cotton bunting over
his eyes, silk handkerchief tied over
this, and then black silk bag cove ring

STRONG IN THE FAITH.
Spiritualists Drink in the Words
of an Inspirational Speaker.

Oh an lnSpiratlOnai speaker.
AT the meeting of the Ramsey County
Society of Spiritualists and Liberals
held last evening at the Wacouta street
chapel, there was large attendance,
the feature of the evening being the
lecture by Mrs. Aldrich, who was
quoted on the handbills distributed at
the door as an inspirational speaker.
Mrs. Aldrich outlined the history of
spiritualism from the time of its alleged
discovery some fOrty-One years ago,
described the progress of spiritualiStic
faith, going back into period at which
she asserts men and women were wont
to crawl round under cover of darkness,
trying surreptitiouSlY to attain knowl-
edge upon matters which according to
the doctrines of orthodox religion
they were forbidden even to investi-
gate. Mrs. Aldrich gave it as her
opinion that hundreds of people in this
city who are mediums, and know it, are
engaged in the unworthy practice of
the truth. They are in many cases
afraid of the ridicule of their fellows,
consequent upon an avOwal of their
ability to communicate with the inhab-
itants of spirit land. ''Spiritualism,"
said Mrs. Aldrich, "has established the
fact of Immortality beyond all perad-
venture. 1t has exploded the orthodox
illusion that the spirit of a departed
one had no resemblance in the spirit to
its earthly shape or feature. 1t has
been the meaDs of comforting and aid
ing in their lonely struggle through
life, many bereaved wife, many an
orphaned daughter" All the great in
yentors OF the age were put
down as owing most of their
the spirit world and being inspired
thereby. 1t had, since the advent of
advanced Spiritualistic belief, become
possible to bury the bodies of departed
relatives without the sense of separa--
tion hitherto felt. go out among the
churches" said the speaker. ''you will
find that the most popular preachers,
and those with the largest cOngrega-
tions, are the ones who lead their floeks
nearest the borders of spiritual faith.
The reason is that while the orthodox
church preached hell, fire and perdi-
tion at its people, the new and en-
tightening influence preached only
ofskindness and fOrbearance, asking no
blind Talth in its doctrines, producing
facts to substantiate its claims" In
conclusion Mrs. Aldrich said it was not
claimed for spiritualism that it was as
yet thoroughly understood, even by
those who had studied it most. That
no great science could be brought to a
state of perfection in forty-one years,
but that the rolling away of the great
fog banks of prejudice, and they were
rolling away, would reveal to the world
possibilities hitherto undreamt of. A
business meeting was announced for
next Sunday at 80 D. m.

Early Closing Movement to a
Finish.
The regular meeting of the grocery
clerks of the city was held yesterday at
A. o. U. W. hall, ON Seventh street.
The attendance was larger than at any
previous meeting, and large number
OF new members were admitted. The
committee appointed at the last meet
ing to wait on the grocers with the view
of getting signatures to petition for
closing the stores Oh and after April /

have signed the petition, and the
committee was instructed to
continue the circulation of the petition.

being, by popular consent, deferred.
Several speeches were made regarding
the purposes and possibilities of the
organization, the opinion being ex-
pressed by one speaker that this associ-

resolution was passed calling upon the
ladies of the city to aid the clerks in
obtaining the end for which they are
struggling, and inviting their presence
at the meetings.

RESCUE THE PERIsHING.
Representative Hoyt, Ex-Nayor
O'Brien and Others Give the
Crusaders Good Advice


O'Brien and Others Give the
Crusaders Good Advice.
The Crusaders held rally yesterday
afternoon in the Cretin school hall, at
which about nine hundred were pres
ent. President j. e. Twohy took the
chair, and after the regular religious
and business exercises a delightful
musical and literary programme was
given by the members, and speeches
were made by Hon. T. w. Hoyt, Hon.
c. ID. O'Brien and Rev. Father ShanIev.
Hon. +. w. Hoyt said, though almost
all those present were strangers to him,
he was glad to know they were all en-
gagged in trying to suppress the evils of
intemperance. There is no man, how
ever low he may have fallen, whether
he be rich or poor, whatever may be
his creed, but | am ready to take by the
hand if he has taken the temperance
pledge and is trying to overthrow the
saloon power. No nobler work could
engage the heart or hand. Every
body knows of the evils of intemper-
ance, and the speaker thought it was
not necessary for him to deScant upon
them. The homes of misery and want :
are those of the drunkard, while the
homes of comfort are those of temperate
men. The jalls are filled with men
whose downfall has been caused by the
use of intoxicating liquors. He told some !
true stories OF prominent men he knew
who had been ruined by drink in Red /
Wing. saying what is true of Red Wing
is true of all the world" There are
widows walls, SighS and tears of sisters
and mothers for the victims of drink;
and the people who are working on
practical lines are accomplishing the
greatest results. The temperance work
must begin in the home. A boy brought
up in Christian home with right influ- /
enceS around him, rarely becomes /
drunkard. In the schools the work
must be carried on. Suppression by
law should also be brought into effect.
The Catholic church has taken a grand
stand on this question, and the noble
archbishop has earned the gratitude of
the whole state by this, if by nothing
else. He knew of Catholic township
which used to be all drunkards. A
Father Mathew society was organized,
and now there is
SCARCELY A DRUNKARD THERE.
What a grand influence these young
men must be exercising! Suppose some
one: if such thing were possible,
could place spell upon all the boys of
st. Paul and throw them into the river.
how few could be rescued with skiffs.
Let us keep the boys away from the
saloons and they will never become
drunkardS. A man can break the spell
OF drink. but it is hard. Jerry McAuley,
of New York, is shining example. He
had been sent to jail for crime, but was
converted, went back to New York and
started total abstinence society, res
cuing tens OF thousands from the terri

Chief S first murder was OF John King,
his keeper, at Charlotte. n. c., in 1879.
King was very fond of Chief and would
never whip him, therefore the murder
showed not only bloodthirstiness, but in
gratitude, and had Chief been brought to
trial and convicted the judge would
doubtless have discoursed on this in his
sentence. Indeed the elephants vicious
character was manifested two months
before the murder Of King. A small

to the woods. Away he went. out of the
town, over hill and dale, through barbed
wire fences, terror to all he met, doubt
less pursued by the haunting face of the
man he had murdered.
Two elephants, Old Mary and one
named Princess, were constituted a posse
and sent after the fugitive. They over
hauled him in the woods. Mary went
up beside him, and the men, by keeping
under her. were at last enabled to chain
him.
AS Is often the case with murderers
who are worth" a great deal, Chiefs
value saved him from paying the death
penalty for this offense. He was quiet
for a while-perhaps to restore conf

murder was done in the same wav that
King had been killed. The elephant |

OF coal whizzed past them and crashed |
against the side Of the stable. A can
nonade had begun which lasted as long
as the ammunition held out. OF course
the men got from under the fire in
hurry, and If the stove had not been Sc
curely fastened it would have been
knocked over, and perhaps justice would
have been defeated by the burning Of the
stable, with the prisoner.
