Bernhardt began by being an ordinary
spectator at spiritualistic seance on
Thursday night, but before the close she
was the "star" performer. and every one
else including the medium, the members
of her company. the French scientific men
present and perhaps the spirits sank into
insignificance while she walked up and
down the room in tragic rage:
M. SAWYER, No 232 West Twenty-frst
street, at I1:30 that night for the purpose
of witnessing spook seance. The per-
formance was of the usual order, but
Bernhardt couldn't understand how the
spirits were materialized.
She denounced the members of her
company as confederates. She became
livid with rage aud took each member OF
her company to task for deceiving her.
Nine. Bernhardt left the house in a
taring rage, and the members OF her COM
pany followed her greatly chagrined at
her conduct and humiliated at the sug-
gestion she had made that they were In
conspiracy against her.
Immediately after the close she made a
demonstration. :" You didn't do this
properly" she screamed, addressing M.
Darmont, her leading man, who had as
cabinet. You didn't have the medium
locked up. 1t was an optical illusion.
You thought she was in the cabinet, but
she was not IL she was locked up these
manifestations could not have occurred.
You must be in league with the medium.
II Is impossible" She epreampulated from
north to south, followed by NJ. Darmont,
who was greatly agitated.
"Madame," he exclaimed, II swear to
you that locked the medium in the cab

taken; She was there and closed the
"No," screamed the actress. 'Tt can
not be. 1t is impossible. 1t must be the

confederates."
" But, madame" put in NJ. Darmont,

federate. / am member Of your COM
pany.
Nine Bernhardt made a rush mt the
cabinet and tried to find out IL it was
ghost proof, She ran all round il and
banged at 1t with her fists. There must
be a confedrate," she howled. 1T is a
trick. You say that the medium cannot
speak French. Bah One of the spirits
said to me, 'Ah, Sarah, c. est tot How
can that be? You must all be confede-
rates. / cannot believe it,

pace with her in her frantic march up and
down the room, you are unkind. have

The recent reorganization Of the Young
Mems Republican Club is already pro-
during good effect and the membership
is steadily on the increase. Under the
cheering influence of its new president,
John II. Wetherell, renewed interest Is
added and the roll now numbers nearly n
hundred men. all vigorous and willing TO
put their shoulders TO keep the political
wheel sqinning In the right direction for
effective campaign work, both for the
municipal campaign in September and
the national election in November.
The vicc-president, REPRESENTATIVE IeAH

months, especially In the work Of regis

For the past few weeks Smith has been
doing an enormous business. much great
er than that Cue to man OF his calibre,
and this, with the uniform premiums at
tracted the attention Of j. w. Stanton,
superintendent Of the Rhode Island branch
of the company.
In one case applications were present
ed for policies for five members in fam
lily named Martin, their addresses being
given as 20 Atweli's avenue. In each in
stance the payments were 20 cents and the
uniformity OF the payments coupled with
the fact that each member was purport-
ed to have paid for three months in ad-
vance aroused the suspicious of the OFF,
cials and an investigation was made.
No family by that name could be found
at the address given, and Smith was
questioned closely by Mr.. Stanton. He
first said that the family had moved to
Woonsocket, but upon being pressed
stated that they had gono to New York.
About this time a woman named Mrs.
Weeks. having policy in the company,
came into the Office and showed an applica-
tion made out to her husband, Edward w.
Weeks, but which she claimed had never
been authorized by her husband A peru
sal Of the application showed many dis
crepancies, both in the age and other
points, while the name was incorrect, Mr..
Weeks right name being Edwin instead
OF Edward.
An investigation was made in this case
and resulted in the discovery that the ap-
plication was bogus.
Smith was confronted by these evil
dences Of his guilt and broke down. He
was arrested by Constable Mckenzie and
was arraigned in the Sixth district court
this morning charged with issuing bogus
certificates on the Peoples Industrial In
surance company. He pleaded not guilty
and was held in 500 surety for trial
Friday.
Smith was about Al years Of age and has
been in the employ OF the company since
May 25, 1891. When he first came to work
he could give no references nor bonds and
was taken in by Mr.. Stanton out Of
charity.
His operations have been in existance
since February 20 and have been growing
in extent. 1t was discovered in investi-
eating the Martin episode that Smith
owned the boarding house at % Atwells
avenue. He is married and has two child

Do you want the polls to close at o'clock If not

An attempt has been made by garbled

favor Of the bill. This is utterly untrue,
as the record of the committee and the

The Nstiok swindisr Bound Over Ssr Sem
tsnos In Nay.
BosroN, April 23.-"Guilty," was ths
verdict of the jury who heard the case
against Walter 8. Richards Of Natiok,
which was on trial before Justice Al
drich In the United States District court,
for the past three days. Richards was
charged with using the mails in connec-
tion with scheme to defraud.
Women came from the different cities
where Richards had worked his fraudu-
lent scheme, and were present at tho tri-
al. The court room had the appearances
of q woman's club rather than OF o court
for tho transaction OF criminal business.
Richards advertised to give them work
that would realize to them f6 to e12 q
week. Before sending the outfit or di-
rections for doing the said profitable
work, he demanded of his correspondents
a payment OF 80 cents as deposit or earn
est money.
The advertisement reached the homes
OF several women in Natick, Lynn, Wal
than and other places and they wrote in
answer to Nm "ad," enclosing in some
80 far as to make deposit received In re-
turn piece of white cloth with floral
design stamped out on II which they
were to nicely finish with silk and return
the embroidery when complete to the
Natick Novelty Company, under which
name Richards did BUSINESS signing his
name as treasurer. The company having
received the finished work in many in
stances sent it back to the ardent money
Garner with the suggestion that 1t was
not up to the standard required. This
return Of the work was too much for the
less credulous women and they were
bound to see to 1t that no others were
treated as they were and they made Q
complaint which led to Richards arrest.
Richards was held in $500 bail for SEN
tencs at tho May term Of the court.
