USRESTFUL SPIRITS.
Proceedings of a Dusseldorf Spirit
ualistic Society Lead to Duels.

The usually quiet town OF Dusseldorf is
at present greatly excited by ulai, In
which spirtualism, horse whippings, swords
and pistols are mixed up in hopeless confu-
sion.
some months ago i spiritualistic society
was formed, the members Of which con-
sisted Of retired officers, painters and we'll
known business men in the town. One OF
these IA Capt Won Ehrhardt, was convinced
that friend of ms. young magistrate
named Won Ewcrs. was an excellent me-
dium, and invited him to join the society.
Herr Won Ewers did so, and most marvellous
manifestations took place. All sorts Of
things began To find their way into the
pockets of the mem bers Of the society;
tables rocked, noises were heard; In a
word. the spirits gave most active proof of
their existence.
Anera time. however the manifestations
took humorous turn, the spirits began to
take liberties with the members or the So
Ciety. advertisements of patent me diciles in
the form Of banknotes, etc, began TO be
found in The pockets OF the spiritualists, and
other things inconsistent with the dignity OF
the inhabitants o. the neither world. Itthen
began 10 dawn Oh the members Ofthe society
that Herr Won Ewers was making a fool OF
them. Capt. Won Erhardt taxed him di-
rectly with this. Herr Won Ewers then ad-
mitted that he had led them all by the
nose
The result was a challenge TO duel from
the irste captain while Herr Won Ewers on
his side administered horse whipping TO i
painter named Hecker. who had publiiyex-
pressed Indignation at his conduct. Then the
whole society took sides. and challenges to
mortal combat We're exchanged in ali direc-
tons. The local press took the matter up,
articles for and against We're written. with
the result that three Journalists were charged
with libel on account of the criticisms they
passed on the findings of the ''iuries OF
honor" that sat in connection with the
affair.
All this led to Herr Won EwerS. Baron Won
EhrhaTdt. Lieut.. Won der Rhein Herr Heck
er Herr Becker and Herr Hroufeld and
Herr Vessel appearing before the court, the
first for for sending challenges To duclS and
the thrceiattcr fortheir writings in the local
press. After a two days hearing, at which
the leading inhabitants of Dusseldorf ap-
peared as witnesses for the defense or the
prosecution. they We're sentenced to terms
of imprisonment ranging from zine to three
months and To fines Of various amounts

4 Reasoning Dog.

Talking about dogs" said Il Woodward
avenue lawyer, Il have Cne that reasons
nd has memory. Last Sunday | went
down to the postoffice and my dog went
with me. On the way he caught spar
row and walked to heel for some time with
the bird in his mouth. AS did n OF take
any notice Of him he darted into vacant
lot near the park, and l saw him dig
hole and bury the bird.
"ItwaS late afternoon when went back,
as | dned with friends in another part OF
the city. had entirely forgotten the cpl
sode of the sparrow when | missed my
dog. ! looked about and whistled for him
and heard him bark in answer, and then
saw him digging with all his might in the
vacant lot, and he soon followed me with
the bird in his IN outh.
"Now don't you see he had to do a lot OF
thinking and reasoning to first place the
bird there and then remembeg It, ana stop
on LIS return TO get it. He was a hunting
breed OF dog. but had never been trained,
as 1 do n OF hunt. How do you acc count Tor
all those human-like facultcs?''
"Instinct," said one OF the company; ''it
is often o safer guide than rea SON"
ANY dog will bury bone, said another.

Il got everything in that line that 1

Editor Times The article in The
Times yesterday on the subject of trans
fers seems Il little unjust to the Traction
Company and Mr.. Dunlop, its president.
The settlement of the transfer question
is the result of the labOrs of the executive
committee of the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens Association, in which the president
and directors of the Traction Company have
given US their cordial support.
They were as anxious as we We're to get
a satisfactory adjustment OF the question,
and, believe are just as glad as We are
that Il plan las been agreed upon that gives
usthe rights we have obtained
We would never have had to ask for
cards for transfers If it had not been for
the fact that when the company originally
adopted liberal transfer system SO many
persons rode around and around by the
hour that stop to all transfers on trans
fers was made necessary to put an end To
this fraud and petit Y stealing.
The present arra ngement seems to be en-
tirely satisfactory, and if the holders of the
cards should try to do any riding that they
are not entitled to, their cards. will be taken
up and hope the holder exposed
An abuSe of this system might result In
our again having to pay two fares, and, If
so. the public ought to know who it is that
brings this about.

John Minor Was Not pIssolute.

Editor Times: / would ask on behalf OF
Hrs. Harriet Minor and family, and in
justice TO the memory of John, her dead
son, to state that your first publication OF
John Minors death by murder at the hands
of Frank Turner does him an injustice
which you did not mean. In your notice
you said that he was crap shooter and
of general bad character, and that when
he was found without razor OF a pistol
something was wrong"
John Minor was everything hut bad,
worthless and dangerous. For six years,
to the day of his death, he was in regular
employment He was the son of the late
Deacon Edward Minor of the First Baptist
Church, whose Christian parents not only
taught how to love home, but how to re-
spect himself and society.
AS one of the ministers who conducted
his ceremonies and one who believes in
the fairness of your widely circulated jour
nal. ask you to give space to the facts
Of his life. Z. s. LsANS.

Hunting on the Highway.

/ must apologize to the Carbcry Hunt, in

are not complained OF for making the course
too stiff, but, on the contrary, because they
have developed too great fondness for
the queens highway. Now that they have
got to know the roads, the two sagacious
beasts find the going so much more COM
Portable that they absolutely decline to
strike across country. / don't blame them.
especially when they find that the hunt
has no fancy for canter along a few miles
OF turnpike road There is a little point
that should like to know now, however
and that is, why this particular failing OF
the two animals was not mentioned when
they were offered for sale. Did the vendors
seriously suppose that there are some
hunts which would prefer a couple of
deer warranted never to run off the roard?
