A SPIRITUAL SEANCE.

Slate Writing and Essay Reading
in a Chapel, All Done by Spirits.
The Spiritual alliance gave an opposi-
ton show to Kellar last evening i'm the
little chapel on Wacouta street. near
Ninth. and it didn't cost anything-at
least no more than the dropping of
nickel or Odime in the contribu-
ton slot. 1t was a good show,
if it was holy show. The audience
was large and intelligent-loOking. and
no doubt believed that the manifesto
tons given were from the spirit world,
while the few cynics present were
equally as strongly convinced that the
materialiZed spirit of Ananias was
abroad in the land. Bishop A. Beal
opened tn exercises with remarks upon
spirituaiism, during which he said twas
attacking the old creed, the horrible
doctrine of infant damnatiOn and eter-
nal punishment. Sectarlanism teaches
immortality. but does not demonstrate
it. SplritualiSm was a reforming creed
and was rolling on and over the stone
walls OF sectarianiSm as mighty tidal
wave. He thought in the spirit world
we would appear In the same habili-
ments, the same development and
intellectually as in this. 1t
man was fond of his horse or dog, he
did not see why they should not be en-
joyed in the hereafter. MIR. Beal did
MT assert that the domestic animals
were there, but asked this question,
Why shnuldn' they be? MIR. Beal's pic
ture of the world beyond was not cal
leading IN that direction, but
rather calculated to make him
take to the woods in preference.
The speaker in appearance
suggested somewhat, Roscoe ConkIing
the tall, commanding figure, polse of
the head, and leonine hair. Mr.. Beal
was, however, sans whisker, sans
voice, sans imprisoned flow of elO-
Q..ence that marked the great states
man. He is an earnest and by no means
unpleasant speaker; AT the commence
ment of his remarks he sat down at the
| organ and sang "Only a Thin Veil
Between U.s." playing his own ac-
! compartment. As singer Mr.. Beal is
not as bright and brilliant a success as
Sig. Bingbinga, of baritone fame. He
chased from crescendo to diminuendo
with the most reckless disregard of rules
musical.
Mr.. Beal called upon Paul A. johnson
for few manifestations. Mr.. John
| son, smooth-faced. fair-haired young
man with corrugated brow, went forward
with a bundle OF states and called upon
Messrs. Newson. Pruden and Kent to
act as an examining committee. He
also declared he would give $500 to KeI-
lar if the latter would reproduce his
slate writing. Keiiar being occupied
with manifestations of his own at the
Newmarket, the bluff was not called.
ThereupOn he produced messages
upon states sealed together to
the satisfaction of the committee:
reproduced the messages, blind
folded. upon blackboard. read mes
sages on other peoples states and did
divers funny and inexplicabie things.
He announced that a man i'm the audi
ence had letter in his pocket OF pri-
vate nature which he would read il con-
sent was given. or he would call the
name of the man il the man was will

We arrived in st. Paul one Saturday
evening about 5 o'clock from little
village in Iowa. We had just graou-
ated week previous from the high
school, and, armed with our diplomas
and references from the best citizens of
our native town, we concluded to try
our fortunes in this city. Bewildered
by the noise and hustle of people hurry
ing to and from the trains, we scarcely
knew what to do. Following the crowd,
we soon found ourselves ON the street,
and heard several hackmen calling out
vociferously, ''Haek, ladies and gentle
menw
1t was cold and stormy, but, as we
wanted to find boarding place, we
thought we would walk and look about
us. Finally, after tOilIng around the
streets for couple of hours. we sue
ceeded in obtaining small furnished
room at moderate price, with the priv
ilege of taking our meals with the fam
lily if we desired. There was a stove in
the room, but we had to furnish fuel if
we wanted fire. After trial of the
breakfast the next morning, we con-
cluded to cook our own meals, or to take
them at restaurant.
We bought several of the morning
papers and examined the want columns.

WORDS FAILED HIM.
A Husbands Defense Against
Wife's Charge Of Misdemeanor.

A Husbands Defense Against a
Wife's Charge Of Misdemeanor.
An illustration recently drawn from
the scenes in one of our police courts,
constitutes an interesting phase of the
life of an industrious, but apparently
much abused Swede, who. failing to
provide for his wife and nine children,
was brought before the bar of justice
on the charge of misdemeanor. Upon
arraignment he sought counsel in the
person of Abel DUNCAN, an able and
enterprlSing young attorney of this city.
The prisoner was allowed to consult his
attorney upon all matters pertinent to
his sad plight, and given a certain
time for his appearance and trial.
During the interim our embarrassed
pater tested to the utmost the Subtlety
of his mental faculties in connecting
defense which would not only eXculpate
him from the charge, but one which
would land his alleged faithlesS spouse
so far beneath the respect of her sex as
to forever humble her to the conditions
which he felt he, and he alone, had
right to throw around her. He was once
the poet laureate of Swede hollow,
where his presence always seized upon
the canine curiosity to such deafening
degree that his brethren looked upon
him with an eye of envy. Naturally
enough, with the distinctions of his
own notched career as a shoe cobbler,
he entered into the spirit of his defense
with an unusual zeal and then and there
insisted upon drafting formal plead
ing in defense of the charge which
hung over him. So on the morrow he
presented the following paper to his
counsel:

That roses fall and time is fleeting.

And Wait-and waIt-to give h er greeting
For youth is sunshine on the dial,
And love is but an old, old story;
The years may dance with lule and VOL
The shadow moves-so ends their gloryi
Go. Cupid. beckon with your wingl
That sweetest chance may watt her hither
For we must WOO, remembering
How fast the roses fall and wither.
And Oft the dial long ago.
The pavement sunk with messy edges,
Saw Youth and Love meet all aglow,
And whisper by the old yew hedges.
Go, Cupid, tell the maid prize
How many in the courtyard wandered,
What laughing lips and witching eyes.
In loves delight their beauty squandered!
The RIFFS, brocade and buekled shoes,
How softly down the paths they battered
With gallants gay in old-world hnes,
When crowns and kingdoms little mattered
Co. Cupid, sleep; your cheek is pale;
And we can WOO among the Sages;
Romance is but q weary tale,
Mouotonous from all ages.
NY hearth She comes from yonder door,
And time and shadows fit forever:
Whv, there was never youth before,
And love like ours. oh. never-never!

TO ELEVATE MANKIND.
Rousing Rally at the Fortnight.
Meeting of the Crusaders.

housing Halfy at the FOftnlglIy
Meeting of the Crusaders.
There was large attendance at Gre
tin hall yesterday afternoon. the at
traction being a musical and literary
entertainment given by the Crusaders.
An extensive and pleasing programme
had been prepared, in which about a
dozen young men participated. The
opening number was piano solo by n.
Murphy. He played with his usual
power and eXpressiyeness and was
loudly applauded, responding to the
encore with selection from Trovatore.
MIR. OReagan read 1.-Two Views of Ma
ture." from Chateau BRAND, in excel
lent style, and was followed with a
vocal solo by Mr.. Fendel.
Il. j. MarkOe delivered carefully
prepared address on ''Capital and
Labor" taking a somewhat more mod
crate view of the d differences existing
between the two gieat elements than is
often heard. He believed the gap capa-
BILE of being bridged by arbitration, aud
deprecated strikes. except where the
latter were absolutely necessary by the
refusal of employers to submit differ
enceS to arbitration. He referred to
the emancipation of labor which had
occurred during the past decade, and
had been gradually coming about ever
since the American republic came into
existence. The salutary effect of Or
ganiZation. by labor in America upon
the laboring classes of other countries
was commented on, and held to be par
ticularly noticeable in France, Ger
many and England, in which coun-
tries the condition of labor was
at this time better than it
had ever been in the history of either.
Mr.. MarkOe inStanced as indicative of
the fact that labor was beginning to
recognize itself as the greatest power
on earth, the successful issue of the re-
cent dock strike in London. The de-
mands of the strikers were just, and the
refusal of tine dock owners to arbltrate
in the first instance was evidence of
their justice. In America the value of
arbitration for the settlement of differ
ences between employer and employe
had been thoroughly established, and
a strike was the last method to be re-
sorted to for obtainining justice from
the controllers of capital. The address
was listened to with great attention
throughout, and the speaker was loudly
applauded at the conclusion of his re-
marks.
John Cayanagh took for his subject
''The Crusaders Temperance Society,""
and referred to the great work that had
been accomplished in the cause of tenn
perance. to the fiatteringly large MEM
bership of the society, and TO its brill
liant prospects for the future. Follow
ing these addresses solo was sung by n.
Murphy. who possesses fine voice and
was given all the applause due him for
his performance. The proceedings con-

Is the latest product of an advanced CIV

citation the charges for funerals are
raised from So to Sc for hearses, and
from S1.50 to 81 for carriages. The price

christenings is fixed at $3.50.
A. R. Bushnell-Within very short
time the industrial union will have ac-
complished some good work for the city.
The small factories already located here
will be assisted by additional capital
being placed into them and several big
manufacturing concerns are certain to
be secured. 1t is surprising the num-
Der of applications received for sites.
The plan submitted by the GLOBE for
an auditorium building was almost uni
veFSally Endorsed by citizens yesterday.
There is no doubt if such a building
was erected, while supplying a felt
want, it would also add materially to
the stable character of the city. 1t
would pay the merchant princes of st.
Paul to build the auditorium and pre-
sent it to the city. There is no question
that they could afford to do it. But
will they? The citizens are anxiously
awaiting some action in one direction
or another. Is st. Paul to have pub
lie auditorium worthy of the city or
not?
Four months are before us ere the ed
ucationaI convention is held in this
city. but the way in which Secretary
Sherin and large staff of assistants are
working would lead the uninitiated To
believe that it was next week. 1t is
surprising the vast amount of detail
work to be accomplished to complete
the organization for the success of the
convention. Besides $1,000 to 10000
people are difficult TO handle. particu-
larry when quarters are to be provided
for all. The system adopted by Secre-
tary Sherin is an admirable one, as, at
q moments notice he will be able TO
ascertain during the convention where
any particular delegate is located.

Great Musical Treat by Prof

Seibert's Orchestra.
The usual large audience attended the
ninth sacred concert Of the Seibert Sc
ries, given yesterday afternoon at the

and prepared the listeners for the must
cal treat in store for them. Miss Ida
SeiDert played eXquisitely selection
from Beethoven, and was followed by
Charles Hubbard with the clarionette
solo "kondo Caprice" Both perform
erS were greeted with great applause,
and responded to encores. The playing
of the string orchestra was as excellent
as the work of that body invariably is,
and no fault could be found with
the performance, either in its
selections or their execution. The either
obligato by Herr Emil Geist was the
success of the afternoon, and brought
down the house. He played the "Gigerl
March (Wagner) and played it eX-
quisitely, being compelled at the conelu-
sion of the piece to repeatedly bow his
acknowledgements of the applause that
was shoWered ON him. Hereafter the
concerts will be given weekly instead of
every two weeks, and there is no doubt
that the hall will be filled upon every
occasion upon which a concert by this
excellent organization is announced.
