MADE A MANIAC BY SPlRlTlSM.
Prospective Bride Driven to Insanity BY
Fake Manifestations.

A curious story Of fake spiritism has
come to light in New York. and II the
story Of the complaint to the police be
true, the spook-evoking had the effect
Of making prospective bride ravlng
maniac, says the Buffalo Express.
Martin Delbergcr, clgar-maker, told
the police that his young aunt, Louisa
Goldstein, who was about to be mar.
ried, went TO a certain Nine. Rodling TO
have her horoscope cast. The seeress
considered a second visit necessary and
told Miss Goldstein that she must bring
S25 with her. The girl went again, but
had only Slj Then, according to Dol
berger's story Nine. Rodling took the
girl into n dark room, where two men
were concealed. The astrologer told
Miss Goldstein that she could raise
devils by simply calling for them, and
that she would do more II she failed to
come again and bring $50 with her
Then Nine. Rodling produced some
kind Of spectacle In the dark, accom-
panied by queer lights and noises.
When Louisa reached home she fell
upon the floor in faint and afterward
told of her experience All night long
she rayed about the devils and In the
morning was a maniac. She was re.
moved to Bellevue hospital and then to
the insane hospital at Wards island.
When detective was sent to Nine.
Dodling's house to investigate the won-
an denied that any such girl had been
there. Moreover, she denied that she
claimed TO be fortune teller at all,
but read peoples lives from their
palms. TO the detectives she showed

stein was received there and afterward

SETTLERS Must PAY UP.


The long pending case between white
settlers and the 0toe and Missouri
tribes of Indians, involving large tracts
Of land in Kansas and Nebraska, is
nearing settlement. The matter has
been before the interior department
for about Is years Settlers purchased
these lands from the red men, but have
never paid them in full, and in many
instances the interest on principal was
never paid to the Indians. Numerous
attempts have been made TO reach
settlement, but without avail. The
other day, however, the secretary Of
the interior instructed the commission
er Of the general land Office to direct
the local land officials at Beatrice. Neb..
to notify the settlers on the lands who
are in arrears in payments that to all
those who will in. 90 days from notice
make settlement in full, rebate OF
ten years interest on the amount OF
principal and interest due at the date
Of settlement will be allowed them,
and TO further notify them that on their
failure to settle as proposed within the
time prescribed, their entries will be
cancelled.

SIMPLE SUMS FOR sILvERITEs.
Problems Which Can Easily Be Figured
Out by Voters.

A farmer raises 1000 bushels of
wheat, for which he now gets $500.
With that money he buys various kinds
of manufactured goods at low prices.
With free coinage at sixteen to one he
might get $1,000 for his wheat, but
would certainly have to pay nearly
twice as much for the goods he would
buy. How much would the farmer gain
from a cheap money scheme which
doubled the price of the things he
got in exchange for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law Of 1890 pro-
vided for the purchase by the govern
ment Of j4,OOO,000 ounces OF silver per
year. Under the operation Of that
law the price Of silver, after a short
speculative rise, fell steadily from sl.16
to 70 cents per ounce. If the purchase
and storage Of practically the entire
American production Of silver could
not prevent its price from falling, what
reasons are there for believing that the
mere act Of coming silver into dollars
and returning them to the owners of
the bullion will double the price of
all the silver in the world?

CHINA MUST SETTLE.
Indemnity for Outrages on Mis-
sionaries to Do Demanded.
VIII Also Insist on the Punishment Of
Those Concerned In the Riots-R
port Of Lieut.. Waiter Nc
Lean Received.

The New York Herald's special from
Washington says: Not only must China
pay an indemnity for outrages commit
ted upon American missionaries in
China, but the United States will in.
sist that adequate punishment be
meted out to those concerned in the
riots This is the position Secretary
Olney has assumed In connection with
the case Of the outrage committed OIL
the American missionaries at Kianc
Yin in May last. when the missions
were sacked and the missionaries as
multad.
The report Of Lieut.. Walter Mclean,
Of the steamer Boston. who was de-
tailed at the request Of the state depart
ment to make a special investigation,
has been received by Secretary Olney.
The report does not bear out some sen.
sational statements originally made
about the Kiang Yin riots. nor does it
substantiate all the claims made by the
missionaries for pecuniary losses. 1t
shows. however, that they were roueh h.
ly treated. being compelled to fee for
their lives. Their buildings were
sacked. some OF them destroyed and
their personal effects stolen or in
jured. No one, however suffered any
severe personal injury. Lieut.. Mclean
estimates the total loss of property at
about $4,000, which is considerably
less than the losses at first reported.
He fixes the responsibility upon the
officials in charge Of the province in
which the riots occurred. The Chinese
government made an investigation OF
the investigation, and as a result will
pay all damages. 1t has not, however.
according to the report, punished the
principal offenders and the officials
who neglected to give proper protection
10 the missionaries. The state depart
ment will insist that this be done.

Find Out n Planet Ia Inhabited.
Perciva Lowell. Boston's famous
astronomer, who is now on his way 20
Flagstaff. Ariz., is at the head of the
most important scientific expedition
planned for more than half a century.
The object of the expedition is to make
observations on Mars and to procure,
If possible, evidence to support the
theory held by Mr.. Lowell and other
astronomers that the "Red Star of
War is inhabited by human beirgs.
For several years Mr.. Lowell has de.
voted all his time to the study Of the
planet Mars. In 1894 he made the most
complete map of the planet ever drawn.
His statement that the canals Of Mars
were made by human beings and are
not glacial or surface assures created a
stir among the astronomers Of Europe.
Since then his researches have re-
ceived great consideration from astron-
omers the world over, and his coming
observations under such good circum-
stances are awaited with the deepest
interest.
