LAID HANDS ON SPIRITS.
Claim of Lorraine Hall Spiritualist-
Kid Spirits.

The Lorraine Hall school of spiritualists
were addressed, last night, by Mrs. DIR.
Ada Sheehan. She is a middIe-aged woman.
Her address last night took a wide range
and she scored alleged" spritualistic me-
diums, admitting there were impostors. as
severely as she praised what she termed
true mediums" She said she had often
been accused of being a nonbeliever in
mediums. because she had presumed to say
that some were frauds She did not be-
lieve in the spirits that would strike one
dead if the one should presume to touch
the spirit. Her reason for this nonbelief
was that she believed the spirits to have
returned to the material world for the pur-
pose of proving to the doubter and skeptic
that they really lived in the spirit world
and could return. Mrs. Dr. Sheehan said
she always touched the spirits when she
could. The she branched off into a sort of
semi-political pessimistic view of things in
general and took occasion to announce that
justice purchasable and all elections
dishonest in this day, the whole of which
she attributed to the fact that all people
were not, and had not. for years, been
spiritualists she said spritualism would
solve all the perpleXing problems of relig-
ion, politics, labor, etc. She said the devil

one than he that would get them hereafter.
or who they feared would get them. In
her concluding remarks she said it was
arrant nonsense to say that if we were
good we were sure of heaven.
She then announced that she would at
tempt few character readings and fore
stalled the effect of failure by saying that
sometimes she could read character and
sometimes she could not. She called for
those who desired their traits of character
exposed to raise their hands and she would
try and satisfy them. They were as fol-
lows: First character-PrOud. Hampered
by circumstances in life. Required energy
to attain present position. Possessed exec
utive ability. Positive and great force of
conviction Brook no interference with
plans nor refusal to obey orders. Learn
rapidly. Desire TO travel. Tastes strong
and peculiar, eXtravagant.
Second Character-There is present a feel
ing of trouble Had more of trouble than
pleasure in life. In early life duties heavy
and others pressed you for aid and comfort.
Very early life altered by death From the
age of twenty years to twenty-eight, life
educated. Particularly interested in the af-
fairs of labOring men.
At Mansur Hall there was a small meet
ing of spiritualists addressed by Mrs. Stew
ems She spoke on the subject OF spiritual
ism from a biblical standpoint, and arguing
from the appearance of angels to the proph-
cts that they might be expected TO appear
at this day. At this meeting only two
kid spirits appeared and although the
medium said the parents of the spirits were
in the room the parents did not respond.

NO HOPE FOR R0BY.
The Governor Gives Straight Talk to
Delegation.

A delegation of Lake county men came
to Indianapolis last week, and, without reg
istering at a hotel, went direct to the Gov
ernor's office, where the members had quite
q little talk with the executive Several of
them represented that they were stock
holders in the Roby race course. and asked
that their business suffer no interference
until the associations charter expired
some time in May. They eloquently set out
the claim that, by hiring few constables
and carrying a pay roll, they were to be
considered great benefactors to Lake coun-
ty The gentlemen met a rather chilly rer
ception from the Governor, who listened
to a great deal they had to say, but gave
them little satisfaction, insisting that win
ter racing was exceedingly cruel 10 ami
mails and dangerous to public policy, and
that he believed the race track was kept
omen for the sole benefit of the pool rooms.
He said he would continue to urge the Lake
county officials to suppress the disgrace to
the State. and that If they felt unable to
cope with IL they could expect any assist
ance that the State authorities might law
fully furnish. The Lake county people re-
turned home the same day they came
The winter racing at Roby has been con-
tinued since last fall without abatement,
blizzards and snowdrfts having no terrors
for these gamblers. The Lake county grand
Jury is now investigating gambling schemes
and viii probably report indictments to-day
or tomorrow.

There is a certain morbid sentiment
among women which is admired and Guilt
waited by many of us who are otherwise Suf-
ficiently strong minded. mean a fondness
for n peculiar type of poetry and those ter
rible little books which are sent by all
ones friends the moment a bereavement
or other trouble occurs. L have known
case where seventeen of these little volumes
were received by a mourner within two
weeks. The donors had drawn heavy pencil
marks around all the most narrowing pas
sa ges, so that by chance could they be
overlooked and over those books were
spent hours and hours of weeping, that GER
tanly did not make the loss any easier 10
bear.
Nor are mourners the only women who
indulge themselves in this way. The very
happiest of women will treasure scraps of
verses from the newspapers descriptive of
the most heartrending sorrow, and make
themselves cry over them with real enjoy
ment I knew a husband who sent his
wife that most objectionable poem, by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, beginning:
1.-THE hour shall come when one Of us shall
hearken
In vain to hear a voice that has gone
And morns shall dawn, Moons fade, and
shadows darken,
While sad eyes watch for feet that never
come"
She fairly reveled in that during the six
years of her exceptionally happy married
life Her husband carried copy in his
prayer book, and married again within
year after her death.
What / desire to emphasize is that women
do themselves a great deal of harm by in
dulging this morbid sentiment. 1t takes the
place of wiser more healthful thoughts and
coincidence 1t is exactly as pernicious as
is reading medical books. study of which
will convince nervous persons that they
have every disease therein described.
There is more comfort in a verse of Scrip
ture a warm hand clasp and half an hour s
hard work than in q shelf full of the NOR
volumes. verses. n
stead of reading and crying over them, men
and women would better be laying in q.
good stock of happy, wholesome ideas ana
thoughts, to help them bear the troubles
when they actually do come.

much interested in the country, which diff

Quincy i'm n Pickle.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Senate
committee on printing this morning re-
sumed the investigation of the alleged
irregularities in letting the contract FOR
printing the Patent Office Gazette. Ex-
Assistant Secretary of State Quincy took
the oath and testified to what he had
done to secure the award of the printing
contract to the National Lithographins
Company. This contract, he said, had
nothing to do with the State Department
with which he was connected. He con-
sidered that he was acting as an individual,
and not an official. He entered gen.
eral denial of charges that he was inter-
ested beneficially in the National Litho-
graphing Company, that he knew before
hand that Mr.. Seymour was to be APP
pointed Commissioners, and that he had
sought to secure work in the department
for the National Company in April of last
year. Horate Kenney, d personal and po-
litical friend of his, had discussed the
work of lithographing for the Patent Office
with him. He asked him Quincy TO secure
Information for him as to the work with
view to bidding and securing the work
from the present company. Mr.. Quincy
related circumstances of several conversa-
tons he had with Commissioner Seymour
on the subject and his introduction of Mr..
Kenney to the Commissioner. 1t had not
occurred 10 him that ii was inconsistent
with his position in the State Department
to make such q recommendation to an
official in another department.
