A SPOOK SHARP.
ATTENDANTS AT A SEANCE WANT
HIM ARRESTED.
They Say He Promised to Prod uce spooks
and Failed and Then Refused
to Return tile Admis-
sion Fee.

At $50 South Spring street, last night,
there was an excited crowd of spiritual
isss. A DR.. Eddy. who claimed to have
exceptional ability as materializing
medium, had announced that he would
then give an exhibition of his powers.
and would excel everything in the way
OF spook producing that had ever been
witnessed.
1t happens that there is society OF
spiritusliets here which has com mmit-
tee which passes on the merits OF new
mediums, and separates the goats from
the lambs, or the frauds from the really,
truly spook sharps. This committee de-
cided TO attend the sesnce and decide
whether DR.. Eddy was true practitioner.
A dollar admission fee was charged
and about Is persons had enough MAUI
nah about them and enough curiosity
to force them to spend it for the purpose
of attending.
A committee OF three was selected to
watch the doctor and see that there was
no trickery. The frat thing the able
spookist did was to gently but ndroitly
tic each member OF the committee to
his chair, as this was condition"
that the spirits insisted upon. As it
turned out. in this proceeding the doe
tor showed great prescience. lie then
proceeded to give his show, after putting
out the lights. but there WAS marked
absence OF the desired spooks. or of any
other than very trivial tinpan changing
and the like.
Tbe audiense grew restive, and in the
midst OF a shindv the gas was turned on
and the affair pronounced fraud. The
visitors wanted their money back, and
the doctor declined to refund. During
the argument the committee tied to their
chairs had been forgotten, and made
frantic appeals to be released, one OF
them threatening to smash the doctor
when turned loose. No one seemed to
have a knife to sever their bonds, and
the doctor placidly refused to lend
any assistance. At last they were re-
leased, and the main portion of the
bilked audience. including the spiritual.
istic socety's committee on mediums,
went to the police station and demanded
the doctors arrest. and were greatly
disappointed when told by Clerk Bean
that they would have to swear out q
warrant this morning.
Most OF the complainants were spirit
ualists and denounced DR.. + Idly in
strong terms, charging him with obtain
ing money under false pretences and
vowing that they would have vengeance
on him today.

rupt political manipulations the Demo-
cratic party literally stole TWO sen ator-
ships in the etate of New York, with q
man like Senator Harris. who Tor more
than Is years has been hold, brave
and consistent defender of the true
Democracy in the south, a man who
scorns all political short-cuts. IL. to Say
the least, little humiiating 10 that
claes of Democrats who love their party
too we'll 20 desire success by methods so
corrupt as those controlling the party iu
New York. There are some OF as who
believe that, in order to be q good Dem
ocrat, it 10 not necessary to applaud any
rascally methods OF some OF our leaders.

from New York, We ask, IL they have
not been q greater detriment to the

A PROJECTED DEMOCRATIC HARLE-
QUINADE.

There are some people who have such
a contemplate opinion of the Demo-
cratic party OF California that they think
that it will submit to any excess of iu-
suit and degradation. Thus. when a
Republican candidate for judgeship on
the supreme court fails to receive the
nomination OF the Sacramento conven-
tion, he is at once thought good enough
| for the Democracy. OF course our
party has no man in its own ranks which
it could propose for the suffrages of the
people OF California II must, perlorce.
take the leavinga of its political oupo.
nents We are not enamored OF the po-
litical leadership which would result in
such infamy. Then we are told that
instead OF placing some noble Democrat
at the head of the party for governor we
should endorse the Populst nominee
for that Office, and the other Populst
nominees. Every suggestion that would
make the Democratic party too base for
further hope OF life comes to Us from the
San Francisco Examiner, and more's the
pity.
Stuff and nonsensel The Democratic
party has not the slightest idea of pros
tituting itself. All its members. who are
worthy OF the name OF Democrat. are
ready to proclaim for disbandment be-
fore dishonor. What is the matter with
the Examiner? What is the matter
with pin.headed Democratic politicians?
1t is humiliating to record the lines OF
surrender which we hear from quarters
that ought to know better. They do
not represent any Democratic sentiment
or any considerable number Of Demo
Gratis. The party in this state has con-
sented to its last surrender OF either
principle or policy. The men who think
they can lead the "Unterrifed" into the
hostile camp are reckoning without their
host. They have neither party expedi-
ency nor party wisdom. The Democratic
masses would send such treacherous
and incompetent leaders to the very
depths OF the political Avernus. The
very hin. OF such prostitution in politics
will arouse the party to the need OF
honest Democratic reorganization and
invincibie Dsmocratic rasalution. Truly,
we have dropped on curious lines when
such proposition should be even sug.
gested in Democratic circles.
