to reach Bolton in time for my lecture

had run down and killed pedestrian

Another story. in which ghost was
never seen, but which snlacked strongly
of sPooks, was the Conway murder on
East Eighteenth street, between Oak and
Locust, in 1855. Mrs. Conway, a young
woman. and her little girl were beaten
to death with coupling pin. The Iaur-
derer or murdcrers were never caught.
Suspicion pointed toward two mc,l, but
there was no evidence Both of them

the CHAMBERS and the other Of cancer.
The ghost Of the victims never walked
openly, but that section Of the city was
given wide berth by the true belicv-
ers for many months afterwartl
Last, but not least, were the ghosts of
Clark and Jones, the men hung for muir
dering Nine. Wright in 1898. These
ghosts materialized in the jails, one at
Independence and one in Kansas City.
The scare lasted for some weeks, and
the negro prisoners were thrown into a
state Of terror by any strange sounds
One night, when the Jail was in state
of comparative quiet, drunken pris-
oner, who had just been brought in, had
an attack Of "jimjams. By some
strange coincidence he was placed in

Telepathy Opens . Great Field For Inves.
tigation BY Metaphysicians.
No field of investigation so pregnant
with interest has been as timidly aban-
doned to charlatans as the domain Of
telspathy. Until very recent times it
has been almost entirely in the custody
Of mouptebanks, empires of the worst
type, whose claims to consideration
rested on cunning, shrewdness and lack
Of scruple. If we pause to consider that
the phenomenon Of thought transference
both in the waking and sleeping condi-
ton was the initial inspiration that
evolved the science Of metaphysics, we
may more nearly appreciate how fool
ishly workers in the higher spheres Of
thought have reiinquished the keystone
Of psychology to sho most blatant types
of quackery.
Telepathy means the transference Of
thought, feelings. sensations, ETC., from
one person to another by some means
other than the recognized sense percep-
lions Of tho recipient. It is the commu.
nication between mind and mind other
wise than through the known channels
Of the senses.
The first notable fact in conjunction
with this class Of cases is that we inva-
riably find keen, sympathetic bond be-
tween the "agent" and "percipient"
that is either the result of blood ties, as
in the case of relatives and between hus-
band and wife, or it ia cultivated inter-
course, as between friends, or is the
outcome of a joint aspiration found
among these who seek a common goal.
