told me that If my sister was sick in the
hospital it could find out and let me know.

TROUBLED BY ROGUE SPIRITS.

They Come From the Bad Place and Play |
Franks With Paimirie.
Henry Palmirie of Chicago deserves the
thanks of benighted world. He has been
exploring the mysteries of the spirit land
by a system peculiarly his own and has ex-
planned his discoveries with a nonchalance
and perspicuity that stamp him as no Or
dinary pioneer of extramundane spheres
Mr.. Palmirie says he is no spiritualist, yet
he talks with spirits His scheme of COM
munication is by means of movable
board or dial, with the alphabet promiscu-
ously arranged in circle around it. With
the ends of his fingers resting lightly on
the board, it is moved by the spirit back
and forth from one letter to another until
the answer to his question is spelled out.
For convenience the words yes" and
no, as they are more frequently usede
than any other have a place outside the
circle.
Now, want you to understand" " he
said to Chicago Tribune reporter that
these spirits all came to me entirely unso-
licited. / am not spiritualist and don't
attach the same Importance to spiritual
ism as the believers therein do. But 1t is
| intensely interesting to me, and l consider
the results of my experiments remarkable.
About one year ago l began these Sc
ances with the assistance of my wife, But
she soon became SO nervous that it was
impossible for her to do anything or even
remain in the room where the seances were
held Then began 1t alone. My appara-
tus was extremely crude and poorly adapt
ed to the purpose, but achieved results
right along. One night 1 placed my hands
on the board and Immediately received a
response. l said: Yes. Who is it" The
name of an uncle who died in New York
some years ago was spelled out. l wanted
him to tell me something of the mode Of
existence where he was, but the conditions
evidently were against us then, and
couldn't get much satisfaction from him.
1 asked him to tell me whether there were
any other inhabited worlds besides the one
in which we live He said there were two
others, Jupiter and-but the name Of the
second could not CATCH The people IL
them resembled us, and their spirits min
gled with ours.

The Senate TARIFF BILL.
Sugar and Coal viii Be Protected.
Articles Transferred from the
Free to Dutiabe List.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 The Demo-
cratic senator's met in conference this
morning for one hour aud half and
this afternoon for almost four hours
without reaching a positive conclusion
in any matter connected with the tariff
bill,
Sugar today, as it has been in the
past, was bone of contention, and
while the committee has gone some
distance to meet the sugar men. they
have not, as those senators look at 1t,
gone far enough. This committee Of
fered duty of cent pound on raw
sugar and an addition of one-eighth Of
cent on refined.
The Democratic senators are con
vinced they must give duty but are
opposed tc yielding the cent and a half
the Louisiana men demand. The latter
believe, however, that they will get u
fairly good duty and are inclined to
believe 1t will not fall below It cent.
1t is definitely settled that coal will
have a duty of 80 cents a ton. A num-
Der OF other changes have also been
made by transfers from the free to the
dutiable list Among them may be
mentioned apples, green and ripe, dried
and evaporated; pineapples, dates, co
coanuts, olives. green or prepared. In
addition to these fruits boiling cloth.
bone and charcoal and coke are made
to yield duty. Gambiir, plaster of
paris and sulphate of lime unground.

Some very important changes have
been made. however, to the free list,

horn, died in the electric chair at II 80

of breaking down as the time for the
elsctroCution approached, He surprised
his guards and Warden Durston with
his marvellous coolness. In all their
experience with condemned murdorers
they could not recall man who seemad

Indian negro, who had no friend or
relative near to cheer his last hours
except the colored Baptist preacher,
who was but slightly acquainted with
the convict prior to his arrival here.

nitted two other murders for which he
was never tried, nor 81 far rs he knew,

twelve years ago he was intimate
with a married woman named Lizzie
Frazer at Kay West, Fla, and on one
Of his visits to her during the absencs
OF her husband he wished to get her
lO-year-old daughter out of the way.
He accordingly took her few yards
away from the house to the dock and
pushed her into the water. The girl
was drowned
He left Key West and went to place
on the west coast of Florida called Cho-
koliska. While there he worked rs a
charcoal burner Ho got into quarrel
over woman with Samuel Kellogg,
another charcoal burner, and killed
him. He then came north and never
heard OF the Florida murders again.
On Dec 8, 1892, Johnson murdered
Emil Kuekelhorn. engineer at the
eIectrotyping establishment of Thomas

York. johnson entered the place early
in the morning for the purpose Of com
hitting a burglary. He hid in the lof
until night, When the works were
closed he went down into the cellar
and there met Kuckelborn. Knowint
that he would be arrested, he strucl
Kuckelhorn on the head with an irol
bar, killing him.
Johnson was arrested q few days af
terward, tried and convicted. He wa
sentenced to death on May 1S last.
