GHOSTS WORK A TYPEWRITER.
Scaly Business Executed at a Seance IN He@,
York Civ.

New York. Oct 15-There was a seal
OF excitement at a meeting of the New
York Spiritualists' society in Carnegie
hall this afternoon. At the same time
there was a fresh manifestation of the
idiosyncracies of presences from the
other shore" 1t was that spirits are
now using typewriters to communicate
with friends below.
Trouble began al this meeting when
the Venerab bic president of this society.
Mr.. Newton, announced that the big
wire cage on the stage was so security
built that not even a tiger could get
out OF it. He called upon one Dr. Smith
and a Mrs. Mont 10 act as committee
of investigation for the audience.
The skeptics present wanted more
impartial committee, and called for the
appointment Of a gentleman who has
had considerable experience in expos
ing the tricks of bogus mediums. Old
Mr.. Newton stamped his foot and wax
ed wroth. He said if people did not like
the way things Were going they could
get their money az the door None
OF the Subsequent messages from the
spirit land called for louder applause
than this.

Months passed and waxed into years.
Five years We're gone and the woman
had done her part. She wrote regularly
to the officers in charge of her husband
and also made several vista The chill
dren never accompanied the mother OF
these visits as she only wanted them to
see their father when he was free.
Ten years passed and still the woman
kept up her hope and her duty at home
The son had grown TO strong boyhood
and like all boys raised by widowed
mother early developed into the stay
and support Of the household. What
changesl The young wife was now
fully matured woman and honored, res
pected and loved by all.
Fifteen years were passed and still
tine noble woman held her resolution
firm. One day she received q letter
from DR.. VanNuys at the asylum bid
ding her take hope. The letter stated
that Baker had began to improve under
the treatment, and though there was
but small grounds, yet there was hopes
that the husband and father would be
able 70 come home by another year.
This was too much. She READ the letter
containing no promise, but when this
one came the woman who had success
fully managed the farm, and raised
her children to manhood and woman
hood swooned and tainted for joy. The
letter was read by bystander and all
could appreciate what the woman had
suffered.
No time was TO be lost everything
must be got in readiness for the home
coming of papa. They could not wait
the arrival of the train on the Wichita
and Western and yesterday morning
bright and early the Baker family car
riage was standing at the Santa Fe
depot When the train pulled in the
mother and her two grown children
stood on the platform watching the
passengers alight.
In short time a man with iron gray
hair was seen TO step from the car and
the woman approached him. An ex-
change of glanceS was made and the
recognition was complete. The chill
dren did not know the father, nor did
the father recognize the children. The
impression left on his mind was the
children as he left them. The girl threw
her arms around her fathers neck and
wept tears of joy. The son approached
strong in frame and Of noble bearing,
but he did not stop at the conventional
handshaking, but throwing his arms
around his fathers neck kissed him
while the tears freely flowed down his
cheeks.
The family soon entered the carriage
and were driven to the homestead. And
let it be hoped that the happy home
coming of George Baker may become
permanent. He has had much
to suffer and will find many changes,
and the sacredness of the happy house
hold will not be entered at this time
even by a newspaper reporter.

OMAHA, Sept 1.-THE Omaha Bee
has a column editorial today discuss
ing the Pacific railroad question and
the probable solution of the interstate
subject by the next congress. The ar
ticle is devoted mostly to the possible
future of the Uni1G Pacific. After dis
cussing the history of the road from its
inception and the imperative demands
for change, the editorial refers to
the numerous efforts OF railroad rings
to wreck the property and adds:
During all this time congress has
been saving wood. The officers of
the federal government, who should
have interfered ID project the govern
ment and moved for the recovery os
the property diverted and stolen, have
not lifted finger. The only thing at
tempted up to date is the suit in Cali
fornia against the Leland Stanford es-
tate, and that has already turned to
farce
I'm dealing with the Pacific railroad
debt, congress should, as preliminary
step, require the Union and Central
Pacific roads to be operated as one
continuous line 1t should first and
foremost compel the Huntington syn
dictate which controls both the South
ern and Central Pacific, to take hands
off the throat of the Central Pacific
and give it a chance to do business.
AS it now is, and has been for years.
the Central Pacific is being starved to
death, and the Union Pacific is being
seriously crippled, by the policy which
the Huntington syndicate is pursuing.
Not only has there been a SYSTEM
attic diversion of freight from the Cen
trail to the Southern Pacific, but the
whole road has been so shamefu1ly
neglected as to make it impossible for
the Union Pacific to compete for the
through traffic from the coast The
very latest effort to hamper the Union
Pacific IS the proposed abandonment Of
all but one passenger train daily be-
tween Ogden and San Francisco.
AT the same time, the Southern Pa
cific has recently supplemented its pas
Senger trains by new palace coach
flyer, which is advertised to reduce
time and afford luxurious accommOda-
lions. How can the Union Pacific be
expected to earn operating expenses
under such conditions unless they lay
up surplus to pay off it's bonded
debts? Something must be done by
congress if the governments interest
| in the Pacific roads is to be protected.
and people in the central belt. who de-
pend on those roads for an outlet to
and from the coast, are to. have the
| transportation facilities to which they
are entitled"

SWEET PEA GIRL.
HER IDENTITY IS AT LAST MADE
KNOWN.
Is Married Woman, Who Never
Knew Durrant, But Who is Will
ling to Stake Her All on His In
nocence-CIear Case of Wheels.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15-The
identity of the Sweet Pea, Girl" the
mysterious young woman who has con-
stantly attended the Durant trial, and
who has attracted so much attention
by her devotion to the alleged murder
er, has been discovered. She is Mrs.
Grace Bowers, the wife of an insur-
ance clerk. Last Wednesday she left
her husband as a result of her infatu-
alton for Durrant. Mr.. Bowers says
that his wife never knew Durrant, but
that from the beginning she has taken
a great interest in the trial, and be-
lieves Durrant innocent.
It is thought that her mind has be-
come affected, and that she IS not re-
sponsible for her actions.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia terrific wind
and rain storm struck this city at 6
o'clock this afternoon, and for more
than an hour numerous small craft
that had been caught some distance
out in the lake were in danger of
capsizing.
The yacht Jag, with a, party on
board, was caught off Hyde Park, and
as darkness settled over the lake af-
forwards it was reported that she had
been lost with all on board. At a late
hour, however, the yacht ran in at
South Chicago, having run before the
wind to that point under bare poles.
Shortly before O'Clock this even
ing. the Evanston life-Savfng crew
were notified that two men in a small
boat that appeared TO be unmanage-
able had been sighted off the Evans
ton shore. The crew manned the surf
boat and went out, but when they
arrived at the point where the boat
had been last seen, it had disappeared.
1t is believed by the life savers that
the two occupants of the boat lost
their lives, as it was said no small
boat could live in the sea that was
running.
Rain came down in torrents for
more than an hour, and the storm was
ACCOMPANIED by a brilliant electrical
display. Four or five houses We're
struck by lightning, but no fatalities
were reported.
At south Chicago one woman was
rendered unconscious but was re-
stored after short time.

No Secret Races.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia special to
the World from Stamford, Conn, says:
Commander Smith was interviewed at
his home tonight. He said:
81 am perfectly justified in saying
there will be no more races between
Defender and Valkyrie. That is posi-
tive.
The only object of the meeting Fri
day night was to talk over the late
match and see if it was possible to
have them re-saiied. 1t was decided
that they could not be re-sailed.
1.-The unsatisfactory end of the cup
races will not necessarily put an end
to international yacht racing. The
New York Yacht club course is the
best outside course in the world, ex-
cepting none.
1.-THE people ought to see the race
for the Americas cup. 1t was won
with the world looking on and the
world has watched all the races ever
since. To sail races in secret would
hold the custodians of the cup to uni
verSal contempt.

ANOTHER EXHIBITION OF HIS
CHURLISHNESS,
A Vigorous Attempt to Set Himself
Right Before His Friends Across

ply to letter from Mr. A. Garfield,
dated September u, has been cabled by
his lordship to the royal yacht squad
ron for their information.
INote-The substance of Mr.. Cam
fields letter was partly indicated by the
statement posted at the New York
Yacht club on Thursday, and signed by
Commodore Smith as chairman and Mr.
Garfield as secretary of the cup conn
mittee. This was to the effect that two
members of the committee. had orally
discussed with Lord Dunraven the pro-
positions contained in his letter of Sep
tenber II. on Wednesday evening; that
they regretted not having been able to
reply to his letter on Thursday morn
ing, before the race, but as the re-
ply would have been the same as that
conveyed orally the nightb efore they
did not consider the fact important that
no answer had been made. Lord Dun
ravens letter of September IL, it was
said, was delivered at the New York
Yacht club at / a. m. on Thursday, and
it was not received by them until 8 a..

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-It is
learned today that President Cleve-
