the believers clapped their hands In
admiration.
A woman dressed in deep mourning
sitting in the front room was the next
person for whom Miss Gaule had mes

MRS. PEPPER APPEARS.
Here Miss Gaule came out of her

said:

The man nodded his head and said
that was right; he had his fathers
watch.
He says he has followed you all the
way across the country-have you come
across the country recently?" asked the
medium, and the man nodded his head
Yes, he says he came with you all
the way from San Francisco to New
York, and stopped at the ranch on the
way" added the medium.
SEES HEARST'S SPIRIT.
1.-The spirit is talking about Hearst
do you know Hearst-Senator Hearst?"
asked the medium, and the man said
he did.
''The spirit says:
"'Old man Hearst is here said.
We'll, Senator Hearst! Are you here,
too?' He says, Hello. DR.. Perrine. Yes,
I'm here, too" i haven't forgot about
his water schemes in San Francisco
yet"
Everybody laughed at this, but the
medium went on:
He is talking about your family.
Isn't your family all mixed up, or
something's"
Again there was a laugh. The man
who had known Senator Hearst blushed
and looked confused.
well, there's some mix-up that he's
talking about said the medium.
Haven't you been married twice and
have two sets of children, or something
like that; and hasn't one of them
something the matter with its throat?"
The man acknowledged that this was
umphantly upon him.
Several more tests were made, and
then the meeting ended. Miss Gaule
and Mrs. Pepper announced that they
might be seen during the week by per
sons who desired private seances or
who wished to converse further with
their departed relatives
They gave their addresses, and told
the audience to beware of imposters
who pretended to have communication
with the inhabitants of the spirit world
Scores of persons f1ocked to the plat
form to make engagements for private
seances, and the mediums filled their
date books with enough appointments
to keep them busy all week.
