THE significance of Lincoln's picture
here" said member Of the association lis
that his career was a monumental and ev-
erlasting contradiction OF the statements
and the general public belief that Spiritual
lists are all cranks and fools. Lincoln. as is
well established by history, was as f1rm
believer in spiritualism as any member OF
this association. His new friends know that
all of his actions, both in war and peace,
were directed by those in the spirit land.
He knew Of the exact result Of every great
battle of the war through the spirits before
IL was conveyed to him by the ordinary
means Of telegraph and mail. But only a
few Of his most intimate friends knew OF
this knowledge he had. Had he made 1t
public he would never have been President
Of the United States, for the prejudice
against spiritualists was even greater then
Lincoln once wrote a book on the sub
ject, but friend who knew he had great

pamphlet Of six essays, purporting to come
through him from those in the spirit land.

NJ. S. Beckwith, of St. Louis. was the next
speaker. He spoke on the lines of advance

now there was a vast difference. Such
advanced magazines as the Arena have
taken 1t up and are giving 1t serious discus

MADISON. Ind, April 2.-The exemp-ih-
cation OF the ritualistic work by Juniata
Tribe OF Red Men last evening was an
event that will be long remembered The
members OF the local tribe were delighted,
and the visiting brothers had their eyes
opened TO the beauties OF the work, such
as they had never seen before. and were
lavish in their praise of the way IL was
done. The four degrees were worked off
in rapid succession, and in spectacular eff
feet was a magnificent four-act drama.
Mr.. Thomas G.. Harrison, of indianapolis,
great chief of records of Indiana, says that
no tribe in the State has ever put up such
fine work. Great Sachem Mendenha,l. of
Kentucky. has seen the famous team of
Lynn, Mass, work. and he pronounces the
team work Of Juniata Tribe superior to
that. New members were added to the
tribe and the banquet which followed the
work was fitting close TO beautiful and
successful event In the history OF Red Men
In Madison.

John Graham. manager of the Bosto
Better than the Curfeyy.
Call-T eader

Some of the surrounding cities are think
ing seriously of adopting Curfew ordi-
nance, which means that when the Curfew
bell is rung at o'clock p. m. all children
under certain age must not be allowed
on the streets. This appears to be getting
back to the old blue laws" The better
way is for the parents to use a single or
slipper on the children who persist in stay
ing out late at night. And also 1t would be
a good idea for parents to make home so
attractive for the children that they will not
care to CAD the streets. A great deal Of
blame should be placed on the parents, who
permit the children to grow up on the streets
because they are such bother at home"

Alleged Bribery.

CHICAGO. April 2.-Every member of the
Board of County Commissioners was to-day
summoned to appear before the grand jury.
This action on the part of the grand jury
is said TO be due TO a statement made by
Judge Payne, of the Superior Court, that
he had documentary evidence showing that
Commissioner McNichol had accepted bribe
of $500 to use his influence to prevent the in
dictment of a wife murderer. Judge Payne
has also been subpenaed. Developments of a
