NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Ann Odelia Salamon.
afas Dlss De Bar, and her crew of bunco spirit
painters, have come to the front once more. In
1888 Luther r. Marsh, distinguished LAWYER
ana vice president of the Union league. was
the victim. This year the dupe is Mrs Harriet
n. beach, wife of Alfred E. Beach, editor ofthe
'o'e1'egc american. AS in the case of Marsh,
Mrs. Beach has believed in s7irituaIism for
many years. but it is within only short time
tliaO she mas come out as a bold defender of the
rat 81 ook priestess and patron of the nineteenth
century work of Titan, Rubens. and other
masters Of the brush, who, it is popularlv
supposed, gave up painting when they died

Inc mousse at West Twentieth street as they
hlled Mr.. Marsn's fine house on Lexington
avenue Unlike Mr.. Marsh, however. Mrs.
Beach has been persuaded into believing she
mas some power herself in making spirit
pictures come"
~ was on Sunday and, Mrs. Beach came punctu-
any 10 the foreground to eSpouse the cause of
the spirit painters. She had believed in them
DeIore but recently it having been written to
ner on slate through medium as she de-
ScriDes II, that the spirits of the other world
had elected her to be their champion on earth
ana IL also having been related to her through
spirits that her duty was to help sister '.in;
race popular criticism and get right up and do
some talking. She spoke at a meeting of
sprltuallstS on Sunday at AGelphia hall and on
Monoay night upon the same platform she con-
oucteo an exhibition of spirit art and q
meqlum 5 reception extraordinary"
Mrs. Beach described some of the pictures
winch were on the walls and how they came.
Seeing heavy Ann Odelia in the audience Mrs.
Beach suggested that possibly spirit picture
could De received through her mediumship. "The
lady, said Mrs. Beach. rs now known as Nine
margaret, having dropped her criminal name of
Dlss De Bar" That excited the quondam mis-
tress OF Mr.. Marsh's Lexington avenue house
ana raising her Dig form to its full height, she
hashed anger from her eyes and oudly ex-
claimed y have not given up the name OF Diss
Ne Bar L never will. L was imprisoned on
false charge, and will go there again for the
same, good cause if called to do so.'
Mrs. Beach has been called upon and chosen
by heaven TO carry on the work which the false
hearted and recreant Luther P. Marsh so igno-
mlnlously lad down. &c may may not be a
scneme OF the mediums surrounding Mrs.
beech to repeat the trick Of fleeing her as they
neoced Marsh. They persuaded him to deed
over MS house on Lexington avenue TO Ann
Odel1a as temple ef spiritualism. They are
now perSuad1ng Mrs. Beech to found a home for
the mediums Whether they hope TO get her to
give not merely ner time but some money Ann
Odeha can tell best. Now that the scheme is
out, very likely nothing will come of their plans.
Just as IN Marsh's case, Mrs. Beach says that
the public Will rldicule her But / shall not
care, she adds for il is 90 at first with all
forms. The early teachers are the objects OF
public scorn, but later centuries indicate them.
Whatever people may say shall not mind.
am sorry that my husband may be annoyed.
His brain is worked up against spirituaIisn, ne
is intelligent and has been very successful. ALL
Wish he might see the truth as / do
