OCEAN GREYHoUNDs RACE.
The Teutonic Gains Eleven Miles in
Three Days On the Frederick


Three Days en- the Frederick.
New York, Oct. 19.-An exciting ocean
race, lasting seventy-two hours. termi-
mated at Sandy Hook this morning, when
the White Star liner Teutonic and the
North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser
Frederick passed the lightship within half
an hour of each other. The German vessel
finished first, but it is only fair to the
Britisher TO say that she cut down con-
siderably the Frederichs lead.
1t was at $3.50 Sunday morning that the
officers of the Teutonic sighted the new
German flyer fifteen miles ahead. Word
was passed down from the bridge to the
engine stokers rooms, and soon big clouds
of smoke from the Teutonic's tunnels
showed that the force there was actively
at work. The big liner fairly flew through
the water. and was rapidly overhauling
the Frederick. When those on board the
German ship perceived the move. that YES
sci also accelerated her speed. Thus the
race continued for three days, the two
ships being constantly in sight of each
other. The Teutonic managed to cut
down the lead of her rival to four miles,
but the Kaiser Frederick reached port
first and won.
The passengers on both ships watched
the race with interest, and many little
bets were made on the result.

GAMBoL OF THE SPIRITS.

Shades of the Departed Appear in
Masonic Temple.
Unless there is something wrong either
with the vision or the veracity of two
spiritualistic mediums. Masonic Temple
people of whom memories have grown
dim and whose coffin nails have rusted,
came in from the cemeteries. Some
shades came from the distant skies and
some came from graves in the deep,
vast sea- The hall seemed full of spirits.
The mediums appeared able to find them
everywhere. Many messages postmarked
in the other world were received.
1t was the sixth session of the sixth
annual convention of the National Spirit
ualistts' Association.
The first medium to call forth spirits
was Homer Altemus. He explained that
in order to open up communication with
the other spheres it would be necessary
for him to sing a song. The inference
was that Mr.. Altenlus had quite a repu-
tation as a vocalist among the dwellers
in the Great Beyond.
He sang fourteen verses of request
that Mother Should Not Shut the Door"
and then. drawing his hand across his
louhto spi'c Will a.
dreamy gaze and declared that he saw
procession of dead children coming
down the main aisle of the hail.
He described their attire minutely. One
of these children bore white banner up
on which was inscribed IN gold the letter
NJ. Becoming somewhat asitated and
making with his hand few more rapid
passes across his brow, he spoke as fol-
lows: This little child, carrying the
H., -. ~
leave the procession here in front of the
stage. Her arms are outstretched and
her hair hangs in beautiful confusion
about her fair temples. She is looking for
some one in the hall whom she knew and
loved in life. and whom she Knows and
loves in the spirit world. She is going to-
ward you. ma'am-to you-ro, not to you
and she says, Mamma, I'm so happy
and l want to help you all can hear
the name 1t sounds to me something like
Menetti. Is that right? Yes? Thank
you
Then Mr. Altemus made more passes
across his brow and discovered another
spirit crouchng in corner AT the end of
the hall. He identified this spirit as that
of man who passed out" up in Massa-
chusetts. Then, after few more passes,
he seemed to call spirits out of the chan
deiier and down from the ceiling.
Miss Margaret Gaule was the next
medium. A whole legion of admiring
spirits followed in her train. She did but
beckon and they came She would wave
her hand and a flock of spirits would
start from cover, She delivered many
words of affection from spirits to re,a-
tives in the audience.
Among the speakers last night were

Fishing for Health.

When man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition. he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing.
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He INDUCES III all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse.

A War aevenuc Tax Decipion.

An important decision relative to the
collection OF the war revenue tax in the
District of Columbia on real estate tax
certificates and on the conveyance papers
of real estate subject to incumbrance.
was received by Mahlon Ashford yesterday
from B. F. Parlett internal revenue col
lector for this district.
The requirement is. according to the de-
cision, that 10-cent stamp shall be plac-
ed on all tax certificates required by
law to issue to any person interested. and
in the case of the sale of incumbered
real estate, the tax must be paid on the
full amount, including the incumbrance.
This decision is reversal of the inter-

from Manila, where he was recently as
signed 10 duty, but was subsequently, ''for
the best interests of the service" recalled
Capt Blaine is in Ill repute at the War
Department, and when he called there
this morning in response to orders he was
accorded a rather chilly reception.
Capt. Blaine had long talk with Adjt
Gen. Corbin. He reported to the depart

Since being in the army young Blaine has
cut his swell swagger, and he now walks
with shoulders thrown back, head erect
and with quick, short, elastic step. His
skin is sunburned, and while in the SER
vice he cultivated a short bristling mus
tache and soatee.
Il is commonly reported that Capt.
Blaine is to be discharged from the ser
vice. but no confirmation of that rumor
can be obtained
When he entered the army Capt Blaine
was assigned to San Francisco. from
which point he was to sail to Manila. He
remained in San Francisco for several
weeks. and during that time he was iden-

Hawaiian port. IS alleged to have con-
tinued his wild pranks, the most unfor-
tuEate of which was giving such offense
to a Lady that it resulted in personal al
tercation with her husband. At Manila
his conduct was very displeasing TO his
superior officers. who requested the de-
partment to recall him.
Capt. Blaine is stopping az the house of
friends on X Street. near Sixteenth. He
Is awaiting further orders from the de-
