LAWYER MARSH LECTuu ING.
Says He is Going to be a SpirituaIiStI
 Preacher the Rest of His Life.

says He IS GOl0g To De a Sp1fiCu3llStic
 Preacher the Rest of His Life.
 BOSTON, Oct. 5.-Luther R. Marsh, the well-known New York lawyer, made his first appearance as a lecturer at the Spiritual Temple, yesterday, speaking in the morning and evening. Among other things he said that he was himseh the real medium of the spirit pictures and other marvellous manifestations credited to Mme Diss Debar. She was the pivot on which the spirits worked in connection with his organism. h proof of this assertion, Mr. Marsh pointed to the fact that it was only after meeting him that Ann O'Delia obtaine any remarka ble manifestations of spirit power, and that she has received none since they parted, while he has continu ed to receive even more marvellous mani festations without her.
 MT. Marsh says he has over a thousand pages of manuscript written down by him at the dictation of the spirits oi Aristotle, Cicero, Christ and the woman of Samaria which he will shortly give tc the world in book. His spirit bride he says, is the Queen of Heaven, and his spirit consort in earth life the Quee n o1 Sheba, who was reincarcerated in the person of3the late Adelaide Nelson ,ea and who is constantly with him, inspiring and cheering him in his work. He be. 1ieves that he is obeying the command. of his guiding spirits in taking the spir itualistic platform, and that he will when speaking, be surrounded by a guard of his familiar spirits.
 Next month he will make a tour of tht Western cities, speaking in Rochester Buffalo, Colum bus, Cleveland, Cincin nati, Indianapolis, Chicago and St. Loui is He has been invited to lecture in Nev York, but has declined, desiring tC avoid the comment and criticism of the metropolitan newspapers, believing tha outside of New York his public appear ance on the spiritualistic rostrum vii be less likely to be associated with tht sensationalism of the Diss Debar episode.

The Masonic Fraternity to Present Pe-
 titiOn to the Prince of Wales.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-A movement is to be at once set on foot by which the mem bers of the Masonic fraternity will sign a petition for the release of Mrs. May brick in England. Prince Albert Ed ward is & Mason, and petition to the Queen through the crown Prince would be presented by him directly to the Queen.
 Although more than 800, 900 loyal sub jscts and free Americans have besought justice and fair trial for this unfortu- nate woman, it is doubtful if the Queen has ever heard of the Maybrick case. This concerted action of the Masons, it is thought, will carry great weight, and re- ceive consideration from the English powers that has never yet been vouch- safed the cause of the helpless little American who is in the clutches of the English law.

It was impossible, however, for her to re-
main in bed longer In fact, patients had
already begun TO arrive when she arose. It
was a busy day for her. After seeing the
patients she had a number Of calls to make
which occupied her until late in the after
noon, when there were more patients to see
in the Office and mere calls TO make.
By 9 o'clock that night she was completely
worn out, and was just about TO retire when
another call came from patient who was
described as being dangerously ILL., This
time it came from a fiat house on the east
side of Third avenue. Again there was no
hesitation, although the prospect was not at
all pleasant. Minnie went along this time,
the neighborhood into which the doctor was
going to go being too dangerous for
woman unescorted. The woman VINO had
sent for her was suffering greatly when she
arrived, but fortunately iI was a case that
yielded readily TO treatment, and she was
not detained more than half an hour Still,
it was nearly midnight when she got back
to her room again, having been on the go,
with only short intervals of rest for twenty
four hours. She did not have TO WOO sleep
long after her head touched the pillows.

NOT INDISPENSABLE.

Prospects for a Hairless and Tooth
less Race.
From the January North American Reuiep
With us there is, to say the least, strong
and decided prejudice in favor of luxuriant
tresses and pearly teeth. But it is only a
prejudice, and by no means universal. We
see no lack Of beauty in the infants naked,
rosy scalp, or in its sweet little toothless
mouth. We even see a kind of majestic
beauty in the ivory dome that covers the
sage's busy brain. A white. shining billiard
ball is by no means unpleasing to the eve
and no one can fancy its beauty improved
by covering half of it with coat of hair,
however soft and silky, lustrous, brown or
golden. Birds had teeth once; how should
we welcome the prospect of a return, q
retrogression, to their former ssmi-reptilian
condition? Would you think your canary
or your brIlliant-hued cockatoo improved
in its appearance if the smooth, even edges
of its bin were garnshed with saws of
pearly teeth like a little feathered and
winged alligatora The possession of full
complement of teeth has always been re-
garded as an Indispensable condition
of perfect health. To our pre-
historic ancestors, who had no other
grain-mills than their molars, it must have
been so, and the modern soldier in active
service would find his bareback and leath~
cry salt beef rather Unsatisfactory fare
without the dental integrity which the
examining surgeon SO properly insists upon.
But the constantly improving science of
cookery supplies the remedy for the civilian,
and as to the soldier, he is, like his teeth,
relic of undeveloped civilization. The dogs
of war" must go, teeth aad all. Experience
has Demonstrated that the luxurious diet of
civilization, which gives so little for the
teeth to do, is on the whole more conducive
to vitality and longevity than the hard fare
of savagery. Long before toothless gums
shall have become the rule all occasion for
teeth will have passed, either for beauty or
