Foulke To be sure, 10 Smith was not
a lunatic.
Foulke is now in the prime of life, a
pronounced blonde, tall and good look
ing. Those who knew him in Phila-
defphia recall the admiration which
his unusually attractive figure never
failed to arouse. 1t is hardly six years
since he first became interested in
mysticism. He was then a convey
ANGER. earning thousands of dollars
yearly and living luxuriously in
the Quaker City. He had risen
from poverty, for his father could
afford his son no early advan-
tages. Mr.. Foulke never married.
Theosophy and spiritualism first en-
gagged his inquisitive intelligence.
The writings of mysticists OF every
school soon had such powerful hold
upon his mind that he would sit for
hours in recess of his magnifceltly
furnished apartments, brooding over
the world of the dead. At last he de-
ciared himself & thcosophist. He
organized society and plunged into
the intellectual vortex of esoteric
Buddhism. His house on Walnut
street became the resort Of all who,
sincerely or otherwise. manifested an
interest in the occult. and finally
Foulke became generally known as
crazy man, so far as this hobby was
concerned. Otherwise. he was sane
enough. as the real estate owners OF
Philadelphia found 70 their cost All
this time he was clearing many thou
sands of dollars yearly out Of his bust

from that again to leadership of hui
mainly in the capacity of messiah,
was without following. his notoriety
never amounted to more than mere Gu
riosity regarding an extreme case Of
lunacy. Now, however, the discovery
that this man is organizing, in the SOL
itude OF his hut at Onset, a little set
tlement in Plymouth county. Mass, an
expedition into civilization with the
aid of various converts more or less
well to do, will precipitate a novel
crisis. For on the one side is this calm,
rational. plausible man, surrounded by
his disciples, about to start through
the country, proclaiming himself a
new messiah, come to save mankind,
and prepared to spend plenty of ready
money in propaganda, and, on the
other, the friends and relatives Of Mr..
Foulke, with very few of whom he is
now, on amicable terms, anxious to
keep him from what they deem a final
act of madness.
Such plans as have already been
made certainly justify apprehen-
sions. The messiah's ha bitat at Onset
has been alternately the local hotel
and little cottage wherein he lived
on very modest scale. Mr.. Foulke no
longer has an income of fifteen thou
sand dollars year, as in his palmy
Philadelphia days, and only contribu
tons from the converts he has made
enable him to push forward his new
crusade.
His tour will cover the whole United
States and may continue six months.
After that he means to visit India for
Buddhistic consultation. He claims to
have been in India already, but his
friends declare he has never been any
nearer that country than Paris. In
America Mr.. Foulke proposes travelling
only short distances at time, long
journeys being contrary to his tenets.
He will visit the settlements of the
neutrality-suspicious. Enthusiastically
and announce himself as the new
prophet. A feature of his propaganda
is the delivery of public addresses in
vindication of his claims. The expenses
will be met partly by the little COM
munity at Onset. partly by the Cali
fornia converts and partly by Mr..
Foulke himself. The brothers Falken-
stein, once warm adherents of his,
seem to have no interest in this expedi-
ton, but the Meldons, followers of
Henry Meldon. together with a few Of
the dupes of the Bester woman, who
confessed to being a spiritualistic inn
poster when placed on trial some
time ago in Hartford, are in the
Foulke advance guard.
The weird mysticism of these go
ings on, the combinations of imposture
and honesty in which these people are
mixed up, make their coming crusade
far more striking than anything con-
nected with the founding of Mormon
ism. 10 Smith did not bring Socrates

drilling three holes IN the door and
using high explosives. They secured
between 800 and $500, a lot Of jew

Nothing else was taken. Seemingly
money and yaluables were their
specialties.
Their next exploit was to relieve
the postmaster Of all the stamps he
had, consisting principally of the new
Columbian issue Of one and twos,
amounting to about $50 in value.
They also took $15 in cash, belonging
to the postmasters private account.

AN IMPROVED PLow STOCK.

We have been shown by Mr.. A. W.
Abbott the workings Of valuable
patented combination plow stock, for
which he is sole agent. The stock is
an invaluable implement to the pro-
gressive farmer, possessing as it does
all of the necessary adjuncts or parts
to a perfect cultivation Of the soil.
First the stock has strong iron foot
for making single furrow; this NOV
able foot can be replaced by combi-
nation one, to made three burrows; or
side harrow with seven points; or a
double V shaped harrow with fifteen
points. The combination stock is
sold at nominal price, within the
reach of any farmer,
Mr.. Abbott will remain in Texarka-
ma awhile, to sell state, county, or
township rights for this invention.
He will take pleasure in showing the
workings Of this splendid implement,
to any one desiring same. 3-4-lw.

IMPORTANT BILL DEFEATED.
McRae's Swamp Land Bill, After
Passing the Senate, Fails
to Pass the House.

Yesterday Congress unceremoniously
gave Arkansas "black eye" or rather
the lower house did. The Senate act
ed fair and passed measure, giving
us simple justice. But before making
comment, we will give the latest press
report as to the very important meas
ure so defeated:
"a bill for the adjustment of the
famous land swamp claims, and to
compromise the debt due the United
STAGES by the State of Arkansas, and
the amount claimed from the Govern
ment by the State, passed the Senate
yesterday, on motion of Senator Ber-
ry, he having succeeded in getting the
same attached to bill reported from
the committee on public lands.
At 5 o'clock same evening Mr.. Nc
Rae obtained the floor of the House
and called up the bill. Mr., Tracy, of
New York, raised the questson Of con-
sideration, and Mr.. Holman moved
that the House take recess until s
o'clock, which motion prevailed.
The fight on this bill is likely to be
a bitter one, though it is thought that
it will pass.

THE BILL DEFEATED.

11tE BILL DEF
The Speaker has just decided that
the question of consideration raised
by Mr.. Tracy, of New York, ON the
swamp land bill to be well taken, thus
defeating the bill. This is a serious
blow to Arkansas, for if the bill had
become a law it would have placed
over $3000,000 to the credit of the
State.
Mr.. Tracy and Mr.. Holman fought
the consideration Of the amendment
bitterly with the above result. For
six long years Mr.. McRae and Senator
Berry have stood up for the State in
this matter, but under the Dictator
ship of Holman in the House. the
State is again deprived Of its rights"
Hon. Thos. c. McRae, as stated in
the dispatches above, has for years
given diligent and unceasing efforts,
in behalf of Arkansas, by pushing this
bill, and it is too bad that it failed at
last on question of consideration,
during the rush of the last hours Of
this Congress, when so many meas
ures are clamorous for action. lie de-
serves the lasting thanks Of every true
Arkansian, for so persistently work
ing for her interest The nation owes
the State for swamp lands, sum suf-
fcient to cover the debt that the State
owes the nation The next Congress
will no doubt, give us justice, and
pass Mr.. McRae's bill We specially
commend Senator Berry also, for his
good work for the measure in the
Senate.
We had hoped that Speaker Crisp
would see that a vote was reached on
this very important matter, especially
after having promised Mr.. McRao and
other Democrats that it should. The
editor Of this paper wrote Mr. Crisp
early in January, asking him to give
Mr.. McRae vote on it, and we have
his personal letter saying: 81 will do
what | can to enable our friend McRae
to get vote ON the Swamp Land bill
** | will aid him in every way |
can" TO use no stronger language,
we are very much surprised at his
action in deciding against Mr.. McRae
yesterday. But not knowing all the
circumstances surrounding the matter
we can not now condemn the decision.
AS stated before, we hope for better
things from the next Congress.
