HOW EVER DID SIZE KNOW?
WONDERFUL AND CONVINCING
REVELATIONS FOR ONLY
TWO DOLLARS.
I Detroit Free Press. |

Two women with a bag OF
broken candy and another OF
peanuts between them sat in a
Detroit street car the other day.
One OF them had just had a
"wonderful experience" and was
relating it to her companion in a
voice loud enough to be heard
by every one i'll the car. A re-
porter sat opposite. and this is
what he heard:
Il don't care how much mud
folks want to fling at fortune
tellers an cla'rvoyants. know
that some Of 'em are genuine.
I've just come from one an the
things she told me fairly took my
breath away"
"Do tell me about it,"
can mind you, she never laid
eyes Oil ME until to-day, an she
told me things no livin' human
being could of told her"
"What did she tell you?"
"Well, first she went off into a
trance, and she looked and
groaned so awful 1 was scared at
first, but she told HE to be calm.
Then she said, You are married,
aren't you? Now, how'd she
know l was married? But, of
course, l told her I was. Then
she says, You have children,
haven't you? Now, how did
she know that?
1T was wonderful" !"
II should say 50. Then she
up an says, Your husband is a
laboring man isn't hep Now,
how'd she know he wasn't
clerk or a doctor or mebbe
bank president? 1 told her Jim
was laboring man, an she says,
He does not know that you have
come here to-day, and he didn't
know thing about it; but how'd
she know that?"
Sure enough p
"Then she says, You have an
enemy; a tall, dark-eyed woman,
and | know exactly whom she
meant. And she says, your
husband is a man who would
rather be away from home than
to home Now, how did she
know that about Jim? For he is
always on the SO somewhere.
B'1ongs to six lodges, an all
that, an jaw him good for that.
But how did she know but he
was a regular home granny ?"
"That's so.
s"Then she says: You are fond
Of going to the theatre and reads
ing novels, and I am. You give
me a bag of candy and a good,
exciting novel and let ME go to
see a real stirrin drammy like
the "Two Orphans" and I'm
happy, but how did she know
that? Then she told me to be>
ware Of small, blue-eyed wo>
man, an | knew exactly whom
she meant. She said I'd be mar
ried twice and my next husband
would be rollin' in wealth, an
I'd ride in my carriage yet. 1t
was just wonderful the things she
told me-"
Il should say So"
iii admit that I've been taken
in once or twice by these sham
clairvoyants; but | didn't be-
grudge this one a penny OF the
So | paid her, for she was genu-
uine. But Jin'd make an awful
fuss if he knew I'd spent So that
way, and | wouldn't dare tell
i'm bout my second husband.
He amt what you might call one
G. the jealous kind, but | don't
think he'd like it. 1t was a Won
derful experience. "

Not an Honest Dollar.

The New York Journal has taken
front rank amongst the New York
newspapers, and its tremendous
growth in circulation and influence is
chiefly due to the fact that it makes
common cause with the masses Of the
people. 1t has taken an advanced
position on the question of free silver
coinage, as can be seen from the fol-
lowing editorial expression. The
Journal says:
"The fact of the matter is that out
in the West, men regard this currency
question in a fashion not at all har-
monious with the average Eastern
man. They thing out there that
honest money not only means money
which is valuable to day, but money
which is no more valuable to-day than
it was ten years ago. A good many of
these folks borrowed money . decade
or so since, and are now paying it
back, and good many o! them are
wise enough to see that the dimes and
the dollars which they return now
have vastly more purchasing value
than the dimes and the dollars they
borrowed originally.
Facts such as these are things
which it would be we'll for the Eastern
man who is himself q lender rather
than borrower, to keep in mind.
There is too much inclination on the
part of the people resident in the
money-lending section OF the country
to dismiss with . sneer the demand of
the debtor States for very material
amendment of the monetary system
to the end that the dollar paid today
may not be worth more than the dol
lar borrowed yesterday. 1t is easy to
preach about the " honest" dollar, and
it is very easy to make Of the phrase q
fetish which shall bring to the support
of the principle therein expressed the
entire community of money lenders.
But the really honest dollar is the
dollar which is neither better nor
worse to-day than it was q year ago.
No man who has studied the effect of
the single gold standard in our none
tary system can be blind to the fact
that the dollar as established under
that system increases in value daily.
1t is not an honest dollar; it cannot
be an honest dollar"

Eastern silver Sentiment.

New York City and the East is not
so united for the gold standard and
the Cleveland idea as some would lead
Westerners to think. The Financial
Record, of New York, the Financial
Information OF Boston, and the Bank
ers' Review, of Chicago, are giving
valuable assistance to the advocates
OF honest money as advocated by the
friends OF free silver.
The New York World, with charac-
teristic fairness, has given one OF it's
pages TO the public and each week OF
the letters that appear therein fully
eighty per cent. advocate free silver
coinage, and the letters are not all
from the Western subscribers of that
paper by any means.
Alonzo Garcelon, Ex-Governor oil
Maine and delegate atlarge to the
National Democratic Convention a,
Chicago from that State, is an avowed
adherent to the cause OF free and un-
limited silver coinage.
7. E. Wilson, the political econo-
mist, who, as the author OF the Tar.
iff Mule" letters in the New York
World, probably did more toward the

any other agency, is writing free ell
yer letters to the World.

A PHILOSOPHICAL MISSION.
Will Leave New York June IL for q
Tour Around the World.

Will Leave New York June IL for a
Tour Around the World.
The Theosophical societies Of Amer
ics have resolved 10 undertake q prop
agandist tour OF the world. With this
object in view a party will sail June
13 in the steamship City of Paris.
This will consist of Ernest Temple
HargrOve, visible head OF the cult;
Mrs. Kathrina A. Tingley, head of the
esoteric section, sometimes referred to
as the adept" Claude Falls Wright,
president of the Aryan Theosopbical
society; Mrs. Wright, H. T. Patterson,
president of the Brooklyn branch;
Mrs. Archibald Keatey and others.
The Theosophists will land at South
ampton and 60 to London and from
there to Liverpool. Returning to
London they will visit Glasgow, Cork,
Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and Brad
ford, making halt of some days in
Dublin, where they will attend the
great European Theosophical conven-
ton, August 2 and 3. There will he
also convention held in tho Queens
hall, Regent street, London.
Leaving Dublin they will visit Paris,
Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfort, Munich
Vienna, Buda Pest, Rome and perhaps
Florence and Venice. From the island
of Malta they will 60 to Egypt. From
there the party will 60 to Ceylon,
where it is said the most powerful OF
all the Mahatmss has his home. They
will sail up the Arabian sea to India
and visit Bombay, Allsnabad, Benares,
Calcutta and Madras, after which they
will proceed to Australia and New
Zealand. They will take in Java,
Sumatra, and the PHILIPPINE islands
on their way to China and Japan and
in February will leave Yokohama on
their return to San Francisco.
"This is not to be . pleasure trip
by any MEANS" said President Har-
grove to a reporter. 1t is undertaken
to spread knowledge of theosophy,
its fundamental teaching of the
brotherhood OF man and to carry a
message of unity from nation to ma
ton. On our journey home from San
Francisco we will visit the site selected
for the college to be dedicated to the
revival of the lost mysteries OF
antiquity"
On juno II, the day before their de-
parture, there will be meeting iu the
forenoon OF the esoteric sec ton and a
mass meeting at night in the Madison
Square Garden, to which the public is
invited.

Springfield, ILL.,, was the birthplace
of the Grand Army of the Republic
During the winter of 1866. q con-
siderable number OF soldiers who had
served in the armies of the United
States were gathered in the vicinity Of
Springfield, and DR.. B. F. Stephenson,
who had served as surgeon of the
Fourteenth Illinois infantry, was 80
prominent in perfecting the orgsniza-
ton that to him belongs the credit of
having started this powerful associa-
ton. The first post was formed at
Decatur, ILL.,, on the night of April 6,
1866, and the entire staff OF compost
tors of the Decatur Tribune being, as it
happened, eligible to membership.
was mustered in. The first printing
for the order was done by these mem.
bers, whose circulars thus announced
the objects OF the order, viz:
"First-To preserve and strengthen
those kind and fraternal feelings
which bind together the soldiers, sail
ors and marines who united to sup
press the late rebellion. and TO perpet-
uate the history and memory of the
dead.
Second-To assist such former
comrades as need help and protection,
and to extend needful aid to the wild.
ows and orphans OF those who have
fallen.
Third-To maintain true allegi-
ance to the United States of America

and fidelity to the constitution and
laws; to discountenance whatever

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
q blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quickt allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

WIZARD AT WORK.
HIS SUCCESS IN PERFECTiNG THE
ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The New FIu0rescent Lamp-It Is
Cheaper and Better Than the
Incandescent Tungstate the
Medium OF Transforming the
Current Into a Pure White Light.
Thomas A. Edison in an interview
on the I'd inst, said:
"I have succeeded in solving the
problem of the new white light. The
lamp is finished; that is, the scientific
part of the work, and that solves the
problem. The remainder is mechani.
CAL"
The new light or fuorescent lamp,
as Edison has named it, is somewhat
similar to the incandescent lamp now
used everywhere. There is not so per-
feet vacuum as in the incandescent
lamp. Unlike the electric lamp, the
whole globe glows with pure white
light of marvellous illuminating power.
The light comes from a metallic
crystal known as tungstate." The
slightest rubbing of these crystals will
make them glow. Said Mr.. Edison:
81 have succeeded in fusing these
crystals into the inside Of glass globe
by heating the glass until it is soft
enough to receive the tungstate. which
it holds firmly when it cools. The
wires enter the globe at one end, but
don't meet. BY means OF an induc-
ton current generated in a faradic
battery the molecules of the wires are
thrown into motion and the impulse
thus given travels along the wires until
it reaches the ends inserted into the
globe. This molecule impulse is com.
municated to the molecules of air
within the globe. These air molecules
are driven with almost inconceivable
rapidiiy against the crystals of tung-
state, welded into the inner walls of
the glass. The impact caused by q
single blow of these air molecules is, of
course, but slight, but it multiplies
thousands of times, and the blows
repeated continuously in an enormous
ly rapid rate, produce the new white
light.
"The new incandescent transforms
50 per cent. Of the electrical force into
heat and only 5 per cent. is turned
into light. With my new lamp, I alb
solutely can discover no heat. Not
satisfied with one test and concluding
my instruments were at fault, used
other instruments, but with the same
result. l am compelled to believe that
nearly the whole force used in the
new lamp is employed in producing
the light. / do not attempt to explain
it; only accept it as fact. The
high amount of electricity required in
the incandescent lamp to overcome
the tremendous loss Of electrical energy
and which is turned into heat is not
needed here. This means an astound-
ing cheapness in lighting and conse-
quent commercial gain. The new
lamp will last as long as the globe
lasts. There are no expensive films to
consider.
at is o singular fact that q two
candle new light lamp, according to
my photograph motor, gives out to
the eye almost twice the illuminating
effect that two-candle incandesceni
lamp does.
IA two candle tunsgate lamp will

pure white light, the whitest evel

Home Of the Satans.
London Public Opinion.

The greatest natural wonder in Java,
il not the entire world, is the Justly
celebrated "Gheke Kamdka Gumko,"
or Home of the Hot Devils" known
to the world az the Island of Fire"
This geological singularity is really q
lake of boiling mud, situated at about
the center of the plains Of Grobogana,
and is called an island because the
great emerald sea OF vegetation gives
it that appearance. The island" is
about two miles in circumference and
is situated at q distance of almost ex-
actly 80 miles from Solo. Near the
center OF this geological freak, immense
columns OF soft, hot mud, may be seen
continually rising and falling like
great timbers thrust through the boil
ing substratum by giant hands and
then again quickly withdrawn. Be-
sides the phenomenon OF the boiling
mud columns there are scores OF gigan.
tic bubbles of hot slime that fill up
like huge balloons and keep up series
OF constant explosions, the intensity
of the detonations varying with the
size OF the bubble. In times past, 80
the Javanese authorities say, there
was tall, spire.like column of baked
mud on the west edge of the lake
which constantly belched forth pure
stream of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything is
now a seething mass of bubbling mud
and slime, marvel to the visitors who
come from great distances to see it.
