LEAVING FOR HOME
A Curious 0usrtetie at the Arcade
Depot
A Group of Hindoos Being Returned to
Their Home in India at the
Expense of Uncle Sam.

Among the travellers waiting at Ar
cade station yesterday to take trains
for the north was quartet which at
tracted much attention and called up
in the minds of the onlookers tender
recollections of the late Midway Plals-
ance, of blessed memory.
The members of the quartet were
Hindoos, who first left their own cou1-
try for the purpose of coming to the
Worlds fair, and since the close OF the
big show have kept a bazaar of alleged
oriental goods in Chicago. 1t is ex-
tremely probable that cashmere shawls,
brass work from Benares and works
of cunning device from Allalhabad did
not appeal to the cultured instincts OF
the residents in Porkopolis, for the
United States government is sending
the quartet of Hindoos back to their
home They are booked to leave on the
next steamer from San Francisco fer
Hong Kong where they will transfer TO
the +. and o. boat for Calcutta.
The two men of this little party
evidently father and son-were attired
in the ordinary garb of western civili-
cation, save for their large turbans of
black and scarlet This single pecu-
liarity of dress, their swarthy skin,
prominent cheek bores and melancholy,
dark eyes gave them an air distinc-
lively and qicturesquely foreign The
tall, straight and supple, with slender
hands and features of almost classic
regularity.
The two women completing the party
wore native costumes. A sort oe
hooded tunic of dark. dingy material
fell to below the waist, and their lower
limbs were swathed in the voluminous
folds of a red fabric. This peculiar
garb, with the many bracelets of silver
and coral. and the nose ornaments Of
brass made them objects of interest to
the loungers at the depot
Self-contained, and maintaining a
most dignified composure, the group of
Hindoos displayed the greatest concern
for an immense gray cato the Hin
docs a sacred animal. Pussy appeared
to be tenderly cared for. and the liquid
tones of these foreigners seemed to as
sumo a reverentfal tinge when address,
ing and caressing it.
And so these queer foreign folks are
about to shake the dust of the western
world from off their feet. Perhaps,
however, they have, with the acuteness
OF their race, determined to return to
their homes with ulEerior motives.
Strange sweets are pleasant to the
Oriental as well as the Occidental pal
ate, and 1t may be that they have de-
signs on the exposition of 1900 and may
figure in the motley crowd that will
throng the Paris midway"

MYs TERlES OF A MEDIUM
John Slater Continues TO Draw the
0ulIible Public
His Usual Sunday Evening Seance--Is
Not Bad Guesser but Reveals
Little of Importance

John Slater, who advertises himself
as one Of the greatest test mediums ever
before the public, gave test meeting
in Illinois hall last night before an au-
dience of about 300 people. Previous
to giving any tests Slater made a. few
remarks on spiritualism and mediums
in general, not falling to extol his own
virtues, and concluded by abusing local
papers for what he termed their unfair
treatment of himself.
He then promised to demonstrate his
unusual power, and it was evident that
some proof that this really existed would
be necessary before he could expect the
audience to accept all his statements
without at least a grain of allowance.
No spooks were to be introduced at the
meeting, but any one present who had
question he would like to have an
swered was requested to write 1t out on
a slip of paper, and after signing his
initials to bring it forward and place
it on the desk at which Slater stood.
Probably a hundred questions were
written out and carried forward. Then
the demonstration of the mediums Won
derful power began.
Among the first notes picked up was
one signed ""r NJ" Let me see," said
the medium, repeating the initials; ''oh,
yes, now have It; Augustine-but some
spirit What was that last name? Out
with it. Yes, that's it; now have it,Nat-
ivet-Augustine Nativet, and that's
your dead wife's name, "T N" Right u
gasped gray-haired old man, several
rows back in a half-dazed sort of way
"Nativet, your wife greets you, and
sends word that she is happy" contin-
ued the medium.
wv. l.. g." let me advise you to get
that tooth fixed, for if you do not you
will lose it. Take my advice and have
it attended to at once" Then contin-
uing, did you ever know me, w. L. G.,
and did l know about your tooth?" No,
SIR" replied a youth in one of the front
rows, placing his palm over the aching
member, mot that l know Of"
IN. S., I hear the spirit calling you.
Mary, that's your name, isn't it?" mo,
SIR" came a response from the back
part Of the room "Oh, yes, see, was
mistaken; you have a relative by that
name. That's it, isn't it?" Yes, sir; a
sister, was the answer received.
And thus 1t was with a score or more
inquiries. Sometimes the medium was
apparently right, and sometimes he was
not. After an hour and half spent in
this way, Slater explained that the meet
ing must close, and there will be an
other test this evening, when the custo-
mary admission fee of is cents will be
charged. Last night many of those
present firmly believed in Slater's ability
to unfold deeply hidden mysteries by his
wonderful supernatural power. but then,
provoking as it may seem, there were
skeptics there, too.

me sun Saturday morning came out
with big scare-head, Are After
Boyd's Scalp" In other words, the Sun
is helping to make fight to have Post
master Boyd ousted and have a gold
Democrat put in his place. The Sun has
a grievance against Mr.. Boyd, hence the
Willingness to help those who are op-
posed to him. The man who is mentioned
to succeed Postmaster Boyd Is Walter
Hubbard. Cleveland Democrat. AS to
Mr. .Hubbard's chances, the Sun says:
II he wants it he can probably have the
almost united support Of the Republic
an central committee"
From the manner in which some of
the Republicans talk. they will not
stand in with the Sun & Co.'S scheme
and give a gold Democrat the plum.
They want a Republican postmaster,
and they are willing to wait until Nc
Kinley takes his seat to get him. This
being the case, they will not indorse a
gold Democrat for the position. The
charges against Mr. Boyd are trumped
up and without foundation. The alle-
cation is that Mr.. Boyd posted up Of
fensive political posters in the postoffice.
This is untrue and Is emphatically de-
MED by Mr.. Boyd. The Times-Index,
also a Republican paper, says: "The
charges made through the postoffice de-
partment, that he had posted the notices
in the windows or in the rotunda of the
postofiice, the premises in his official
charge. he denies in toto, and, as far as
the Times-Index knows, no one Is pre-
pared to question the truth of his de-
nial.' Some interesting developments
are looked for before the fight is over.
