Did Major Andre own This sword?

The people living in and around Avon
dale. y. j., have pretty well made up their
minds that the old sword which Mr.. II. ID.
Riepe dug out OF the mud at the back OF his
hotel, on the River road, near the Ayondale
bridge. was once welded by the Inflated
Major John Andre, and persons ycrsed in
Revolutionary lore have formed the same
opinion. after carefully examining the wea-
pom. Mr.. {. }. Green, Of Atlanta, Ga,
thinks that Andre never owned the sword.
He advances. as ground for his incredu-
lity. the fact that Andre, for some time be-
fore his CAPTURE, was moving abOu. the
country i'm all sorts Of civilian CARDS, and.
seeking 10 disguise himself, carried no
sword. Certainly no such weapon was
found upon him when he was made pris-
Oner.
MIR. Riepe, wien Mr.. Green's printed
statement was shown to him. showed the
sword 10 the reporter. lie had rubbed more
rust on il then when il was first described.
Besides the words "MajOr John Andre,
which are plain on the guard, the letters
"R. A." roughly cut are easily dcclpher-
able ON the blade. Whether thes initials
have any connection with the name Of the
traitor Benedict Arnold or not is matter
Of conjecture. The grip Of the hilt i silver

dents. and apparently protected It's owner

blade is richly engraved, and helmet Is
carved on brass plate Just below the name
of Andre.

sword was found are the remains Of a British

Uneasy Republicans.
Atlanta Constitution

The enthusiasm which Mr.. Blaine's reel
procity scheme has created in the West and
Northwest Is beginning 10 create good
deal of uneaslness among those Republi-
cans in the East who have made IA contract
with the manufacturers and monopolists to
give them the benefits Of the Mckinley bill.
There is "A little ripple Of discomfort among
the organs and the leaders. They are afraid
to attack Mr.. Blaine, knowing his great
popularity and his immense resources, but
they dare not remain silent while the voting
Republicans are declaring in favor OF reel
procity.

OPINIONS OF MEDIUMS.
President Thompson says the Genuine Ones
do Perform Feats.

President Thompson Says the Genuine Ones
do Perform Feats.
The genuine mediums" do perform feats,
writes J. H. Thompson, which magicans
and the best and most scientific material
representatives have failed to accomplish
If restoration to health and self-possess ion
to the insane can be called a feat. There
are as many phases of mediumship as there
are degrees OF mental requirement in the
mortal world. Those who represent and
manipulate the physical power are as dis
tinct from the mentally educated ''me-
dium" as the pugilist is from the best es-
sayist on any scientific subject.
Who are not "mediums?" Are not all
created things subject to external influ-
ences? That being an indisputable law,
the conditions and status OF mediumship o
are determined by the character of the
power exerted on and through the creature
acted upon. There are two conditions of
mediumship: The one is that in which the
medium is the mesmerized or psychological
instrument of a dtsembodied power, or the
condition is often the result of one mortal's
influence upon another. This clearly un-
derstood by the Judiciary, the medical and
the religious theorists, would advance the
condition OF humanity to a better state of
existence.
The true state of mediumship is acquired
by the education of the spiritual faculties,
which exist IN all physical beings. In
other words, the brain is capable of a higher
development than material or theological
PHILOSOPHERS have taught.
