The Washington critic. (Washington City, D.C.) 1890-1890, 1890-02-15

10 the square inch In WOnn's Hall last
night than ever surrounded even
Madame Diss Debar for the ediication
of the celebrated lawyer, Luther Il.
Marsh, in New York City. They held
high carnival, too, and brought many
endearing messages from the spirit
land. and held lights enough in their
hands 10 put million candle-p power
electric light to shame
There were old-time ghosts, young
ghosts, golden haired CHESTS and dark
eyed ghosts, baby ghosts and ghosts Of
youths and maidens that were sum
moned from the spirit land to talk with
their earthly friends and bring them
words of good cheer. The trouble of
1t was, however, that nobody could see
or hear them but young lady, who Is
pleased to call herself materialist,
named Miss Maggie Gaule. She spells
her name g-a-u.le, because it looks
+. better in print than the usual gross way
of spelling 1t.
Miss Gaule gave test seance for the
benefit of the Ladies' Ghostly Union
and this was the occasion for the al
legged appearance of so many shadowy
bodies from the other world. Fully
twenty subdued looking and aged
people crowded themselves into the
dimly lighted little hall and looked as
if they were ready to see or hear any
thing that might be told them and throw
up their hands in wonder and delight.
Miss Gaule, the ghost dealer, walked
in about 0 o'clock and the air immedi-
ately began TO feel clammy. THE
CRITIC reporter inadvertently turned
his head. expecting to see long, chilly
ghost sitting beside him with elammy
hands and sepulchral voice, but while
/ the ghost manufacturer claimed that
the room was full of them none were
very distinct, even to the man with a
veryviyid imagination.
Her ghostly highness took a seat on
% little platform elevated above the
floor about foot, on which stood three
tables. She was woman of probably
30 years of age, and rather comely
Her eyes were dark and shrewd looking
and her hair was jet black. A bottle
of smelling salts hung pendant from a
little chatelaine at her waist and across
her breast was tiny gold watch chain
that encircled her neck. This was
Miss Gaule, and according to her own
statements, she cen interview more
zepbyry spirits in a given space of
time than probably any ghost dealer in
America.
The ball was set rolling when tall,
