MISS OLOF KRARER.
The Little Esquimau Woman Who is
to Lecture Tonight.

The lecture by Miss Olef Krarer, the
Esquimau woman, tonight at the Con-
gregational Church, will close the series
of entertainments under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
The course has been above the or
binary in point of merit, and the last
will be unique and interesting. Miss
Krarer, besides being very little wo-
man, is very bright and clever enter
tainer. The price of admission has
been placed low SO that every one may
have the opportunity of hearing and
seeing her. The Mount Pleasant Qowa)
Free Press says of her:
las a psychological study the little
lady from Greenland, who gave her sec
ond lecture in this city last Thursday
evening, is probably uneXcelled on this
continent; and as a study in heredity
or the influence of vocation and environ
ment for successive generations upon
the body, she is equally so.
X
miss Krarer's body bears corrobora-
tive testimony to the claim of her being
native of Greenland, whose racial de-
velopments are as marked and as uni
,
and the induces of nationality in every
unmixed people on earth
But it is Miss Krarer as an intelligent
and agreeable lady that is most inter-
esting. The evolution from the national.
natal conditions of absolute non-eXer-
ton, into the consciousness of being a
responsible, immortal, spiritual being,
gracious in self-reliance, dignified in
self-respect and potent in an intelligent,
conscious self-hood, attractive in de-
meanor, and gracious and punctilious in
every point of social relations, she is
certainly the most interesting person
atty to the student of mind that it is
possible to find on this continent. The
school people who failed to see and hear
this speaker failed to see and hear d
most suggestive object lesson in psych
zeal development under the Christian
idea of the nature of God and man.

Farce comedy in its best expression

Tonight at Turner Hall the celebrat-
ed Dr. DeForrest of Boston who has
been creating no little excitement in
San Francisco Portland, Seattle, Los
Angeles and other coast cities with his
famous expose entitled Death of Spir-
itualism" viii appear and demonstrate.
SO he states. that all occult phenomena
is simply produced by the most ordinary
agencies, is in fact "a fake and moth
ing more" On the slate writing, spirit
rapping, table tipping, cabinet seances
and the greatest feats of Tyndall, the
bewildering occult phenomena of Anna
Eva Fay and other noted travelling me-
diums, he says will be fully exposed
and explained. The assault of DeFor-
rest upon spiritism and mediums and
the challenge he has given for them to
meet him has earned for him, says his
representative, the title OF Nemesis of
Spiritualists." Here his challenge has
been accepted by Professor Adrian
Chester and DR.. j. r. Craig, who have
met the challenge and will confront him
! on the stage of Turner Hall tonight TO
defend their belief. There is no doubt
but the most interesting and lively kind
of a "seance" will prevail.
