THEY look TOR GHOSTS
Objects Of the Brooklyn Psychic
al Research Society.
TO INVESTIGATE APPARITIONs.

An Interview with the President of the
society-He Believes In the Existence of
Earthbound spirits-The Power of Proph-
ecy-Abraham Lincoln's Warning.
The Brooklyn Psychical Research society,
recently incorporated, was, like its name
sakes In Boston and London, organized for
the purpose of hunting and investigating
ghosts and ghost stories-a pursuit which
seems more and more to engage the interest
of speculative minds DR.. John G. Wyman,
who has long been an enthusiastic student
OF occult and spiritualistic literature, is
president of the Brooklyn society. In an
interview published in the New York Her
aid he defines thesphere of the organization
as follows: p s.t
''The particular business and objects of
this society will be to impartially investi-
gate all psychic phenomena, to thoroughly
study psychic science and all correlated
sciences and practically apply them to the
betterment of humanlife and environments;
also to enter upon the consideration, dis
cussion and practical application of the
principles involved in social, psychological,
scientific, religious and spiritual subjects
generally
The reporter asked DR.. Wyman whether
he believed that the spirits of the dead may
actually frequent their former abodes or
places familiar to them in life and so ap-
pear as to make themselves manifest to the
human senses-to the eyes and the ears of
living beings -
II certainly do believe that there are
many well authenticated cases of such
manifestations. My belief is that there are
certain spirits, which we designate as earth
bound spirits,' which must necessarily fire.
quent certain earthly places. In doing so
they may be re-enacting momentous events
in their own lives and may doubtless also
make themselves manifest to the human
senses in various ways. While far from

decided preference for putting them also

Three-quarter jackets, trimmed with
braid and fur, and long coats are always
well worn, and one of the favorite col
ors just now is green cloth like beige.
The coats this winter are generally
double breasted, have triple capes and
are trimmed either with bsaver or some
kindred fur.

1t is a delusion to think that bad stains
on marble can be effectually removed
without calling in some professional
hand, but there are variety Of recipes
which will help to tighten the color of
stains and even remove them if they are
not of long standing. For instance:
Mix an ounce of soda, of powdered
chalk and pumice stone, respectively,
with enough water to form a thickish
paste. Spread this we'll over and beyond
the stain. Leave it on for "a hours or
more; then wash it off with soap and
warm water and polish it we'll with an
old soft rag.

Speakers have been elected this year
in the states of Iowa, Kentucky, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, New York and
Ohio.
Mr.. Meyer of Boston, chosen speaker
of the Massachusetts house, is, as his
name indicates, of German descent. He
is man of greater social distinction than
is the speaker Of the lower house of any
other state. He is the president of the
Puritan club-this alone marks him as
member Of what would be vulgarly
called the Four Hundred in New York
and he was graduated from Harvard
in 1879. During his student days he
event in" for athletic sports, and he is
still member of the Myopia Hunt club
of Hamilton, an organization that de-
feated all competitors in the noble game
of polo at Newport last summer; the Bos-
ton Athletic club, the Harvard club Of
New York, the Restigouche Fishing club
of Maine, the Eastern Yacht club, the
Riding club of Boston and the Country
club of the same cultivated city.
He knows all about fishing, shooting,
riding and dogs. he is also first class
whip and enjoys himself greatly when

well. Mr.. Boxwell, like Mr.. Malby,
first saw the light in farmhouse. But,
unlike either Mr.. Malby or Mr.. Meyer,
he is not native of the state of whose
legislature he is now speaker. He is a
college man, having been graduated from
the Wesleyan university at Delaware,
o. He studied law and began his career
as public servant as a justice of the
peace. He has been member of the
legislature for four years and was an
adherent of Foraker for United States
senator as opposed to Sherman. .i-
John I. Holt, who won in the contest
for the New Jersey speakership against
Judge Joseph Cross, is by occupation an
employing jeweler. He has yet to learn
how it feels to be defeated in fight for
place. His public service was begun as
member Of the board of aldermen in
Paterson, where he resides. He has also
served on the school board and has had
the somewhat rare experience Of being a
member of state and city legislative bod
les at the same time.

MEYER OF MAssACHU- may further the
SETS. passage of this
measure by oppor.unely recognizing the
member who is pushing it. He may
''turndown" that bill by persistently re-
fusing to recognize its promoter. He
may, by audacity, irmness and fertility
of resource, enable his own party to put
through legislation that. with weaker,
timider man in the chair, would die the
death, and he may utterly wipe out all
hope Of the consideration even Of meas
ures of which he and his party do not
approve. But the very qualities that en-
able him to drive the legislation which
he favors to its final passage may con-
tain the seeds of downfall for himself
and disaster to his party. The rulings
by which he carries his point may be so
arbitrary as to be counted unfair by the
mass Of the people, and even if the re-
sultant reaction be less than a catastro-
phe to the party that is dominant it is
certain not to strengthen it.
Few presidents have left as deep an
impression upon the laws Of the country
as have the speakers who served contem-
poraneously with them. The powers Of
the chief magistrate in this direction are
only suggestive and repressive, taking
shape in messages" and "vetoes," but
the speakers hand is constantly guiding
the deliberations Of the great body Of
popular representatives.
It is not surprising in view Of all this
that the selection of a speaker at the be-
ginning of the life of congress is con-
sidered a most important matter, nor, as
the state legislatures are in most in
stances formed on the federal model,
