AN EVENING WITH sPIR1Ta
An Eastern Medium Describes Shades visi-
BILE to Himself Alone.

An Eastern Medium Describes Shades visi-
ble to Himself Alone.
The hopes of hearing from long dead loved
ones filled the First Church of Spiritualists
at No. 6 Sixth street last night, as the "best
test medium in the East" Edgar W. Emer-
son, of Manchester, N. H., was to be pres
ent. The disciples OF the mystic belief wore
eminently credulous looks and store-made
or homemade garments. They were not
scoffers, and, while Medium Emerson told of
the countless shades who glided about the
heated han with golden letters and flaming
names about their hazy forms, the listeners
let their front hair stand mp most re-
Hgiously.
Mr.. Emerson had nice maidenly voice. n
trif1e shrill perhaps, and a black Prince Al
bert He folded his hands together over his
broad. white shirt BOSOM and told OF fairy
like girls, with great punches of violets in
their cloudy hands, and pins, such as mortals
use. and grav-haired men, and saG-eyed
mothers and happy boys and girls, wrapping
their arms about various peoples necks,a and
bidding everybody hope. And one
very enterprising shade entered into
predictions and told some lady in somber
black and tears that she had better not
move until fall. as spring movings would
not be advisable. Then someone else in the
audience. also in black and also in tears, be-
sought the medium to ask the shade of Mrs.
Timothy whether her husband, who IL now
languishing in a gloomy cell, really did beat
hecome tired and he said he needed rest.
Then he put his watch to his forehead to
see what time it was, and everybody went
home.

INCREDIBLE THINGS IN LIFE
Slown.ss of Mankind to Profit by tho Les
sons of History.

slown.ss of Mankind to Profit by the Les
sons of History.
DR.. Sutherland. of the Second Presbyterian
Church, in speaking of "Ths Incredible
Things in Life" last night, among other
things said: "1s it not wonderful how slow
we are to profit by the lessons of history and
experience. We constantly see the best
laid plans of shrewd men failing and yet we
go on making new plans as if nothing could
come in to disturb them and render all our
efforts of no avail We are not wise in thus
shutting our eyes to the lessons OF ex-
perience. No man can accurately forecast
or provide with absolute certainty against
all possible contingencies. No matter how
careful and calculating q man may be, his
wealth may be swept away as with flood.
We have constantly recurring illustrations
of this. The mighty tornado suddenly and
irresistibly sweeps down upon town or
city and leaves ruin and desolation in its
track. Prosperous business men who felt
secure in their possessions, and easy In
their circumstances, are now homeless.
sympythiEe with them and it may be help
them, but still the sense of loss so sudden
and unexpected all but masters them, for
the time being at least.
"Now why should we not make a religious
use Of these events just as we do of the
tory is given US to show us how we should
use the history we are making ourselves.
There is really no such thing as what people
call ''profane history" God Is in all the
events of life. 1t Is not an unusual thing to
meet in our great cities poor men who were
thousands Of dollars. The Surprises come in
both ways-fn the line OF prosperity and ad-
versity. We perhaps notice the one more
than the other, Both are facts"

w0ULD-BE GLOBE TRoTTERS
A Pair of Cleveland Lads Whose Ambitions
Were Crushed.

Warden McAleese has under his care two
boys from Newburg, Cleveland, whose
parents are no doubt distracted over their
disappearance. The boys were picked up in
this city several days ago while wandering
aimlessly about, and Magistrate Gripp sent
them to jail for ten days as vagrants on
their representation that they were orphans
from Chicago and had no money, home or
friends.
When they were taken to jail they con-
tinued telling this story, but when they
realized that they might be sent to Morganza
under the circumstances they made q clean
breast oftheir identity. Their proper names
are James McAllister, aged is years, and
Thomas Richards, aged Is. The latters
parents have hotel at sc Stafford street.
McAllister's people live on Usage street. He
stole $2l from his mother week ago and
taking the younger boy along started out to
see the world, stopping at several small
towns en- route to this city. They were each
bedecked in CANDY neckties and scarf pins,
which had used up considerable of their
cash and seemed rather out of place with
the balance of their attire. Their living ex-
penses had reduced the balance so that they
had but l6 cents between them when ar
rested. Both the lads are now heartily
homesick, and promise never to run away
again if they can get back to Cleveland.

THE FALL OF BABYLON.
A Sermon on the FuinlIment of Biblical


Sermon on the Fulhllment of Biblical
Prophecies.
The history OF the awful fall of Babylon
was most vividly recounted last night at
Christ Church. by the Rev. DR.. G. W. Izer,i
delivering the eighth sermon of the series
upon the subject of "The Bible in the Nine.
teenth Century" In an intensely interesting
manner DR.. Izer told of the grand feast OF
Belshazzar. when everyone was feasting
and reveling in wicked enjoyment and the
abrupt arrival of the frightened messenger
with the dread news of Darius and his
in the channel of the Euphrates river,
which had been turned from its course, in
the fulflllment of Daniels prophecy made
200 years before while the city was in the
zenith Of her wicked glory. "And so will
all other Biblical prophecies be fulfilled be-
fore this world goes into space" concluded
the pastor.

Inspector McAleese felt that the girl was
not bad, but in order to break her way from
her newly formed evil associations sent her
TO Morganza. She escaped from the institu-
zion soou after, but was recaptured and re-
turned.
From her own story she was only released
two months ago. She insisted that she has
been living in Oakland ever since, but the
finding OF her clothing yesterday morning
on the Washington pike indicates that she
must have been living out in that direction.
Henry Yierheller found the clothes on his
way home early yesterday morning. He re-
ported tho ematter to the police and sensa-
