months. Mr.. Balleseyus has been able
to bring off first-class concert.

MR.. ROGERS REPLIES
To a Criticism of His expose" o
Spiritualism by Register Reader.


To the Editor of the Register
Sir: In the Sunday Register "A Spir-
itualist' comments upon my expose or
so-called spiritualistic phenomena, and
seeks to refute the claims which
make. He is inconsistent in inviting
honest investigation, and in the same
article criticising me for making pub
lie the results of my honest investiga-
ton. II the claims of spiritualists can
be sustained. shall be as rea61 to ac-
cept the proof as any believers in the So
called science. The writer INDUCES in
personalities, which | shall be careful
TO avoid. a Spiritualist" states that
| secured my knowledge for a consider
alton. 1t is a fact that every medium,
without exception so far as | know, de-
mands a consideration" for develop
ing mediums" etc. IL is the CONNER
cial side Of spiritualism, and 1t seems
strange that some genuine medium will
not take advantage of the offer OF
81 500 for proof of spiritualistic man
ifestations. Independent OF its cash
value, such a demonstration might
convince many doubling Thomases,
and incidentally swell the membership
in the spiritualistic church"
"a Spiritualist" says the Chesterfield
Camp Association warned the public
against the medium whose work in
vestigated. With this knowledge, why
did not "A Spiritualist". warn the me-
dium's dupes in Wheeling? He was
here for three months, and it was not
until l made the result of my investi
cations public, that it was discovered
that this medium was fake" The
Cleveland woman who materialized
full forms was also fake" A Wheel
ing woman who is developing the same
phase of spiritualism is likewise
fake" These people were all receiv-
ed with open arms by local believers,
"a Spiritualist' probably among the
number. The writer of the card is fur
Their mistaken when he alleges that
base my expose simply upon the result
of three months personal investigation.
l have gone deeper into the subject,
and also have the authority of others
who have made Investigations.
While in Pittsburg last week, spir-
ltualists told me that | performed the
same phenomena" they had been wit
Messing for 10 years; and | was told
that | was the first man who had
shown all the phases of mediumship.
Here was evidence that they had been
duped for fifteen years and many of
them were honest enough to say so
frankly. | was also told in Pittsburg
that the Campbell Bros, to whom "A
Spiritualist" refers, gave a seance in
that city, with typewriter in the cab
met, through which typewriter spirit
messages were given. They refused
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-12-03

TO allow any person near the cabinet.
One man offered them five dollars for
a peep inside, and they answered that
no money would tempt them. as it
would break the influence" An hon
est investigator always finds when he
reaches a certain point, that another
step would break the Influence"
The Bangs sisters are also mention
ed. They materialize spirit pictures.
1t is not necessary to go to Chicago or
New York for these materializations.
Wheeling man has a spirit portrait
or his father, which he declared to be
an exact likeness; while at the Medical
Society meeting it was learned that his
father died when he was at such an ags
that he could not remember ANYTHING
about his features. There are men who
attain eminenoe in every profession
and calling; and there are smart and
ingenious mediums, whose so-caIled
manifestations" are more mystifyinR
imam those OF Others. All slight-of-
hand performers are not Kellars and
HermannS, nor are all mediums
Bangses and Campbells. So far as the
prominent men "A Splritualist" names
as Dehevers are concerned, il only goes
10 prove that even men who are great
IN some lines, can be duped by the
trickery of mediums.
"A Spiritualist" concludes his card
with the suggestion that perhaps / will
now be good. IL being good means not
to expose fraud when see il. / fear
/ shall never be better than | am.

gregation was started in December,
1875, by twenty German families. un-
til then belonging to the German indie

St. Matthews Protestant Episcopal
church was reopened to the congre-
cation yesterday, and the services of
the day possessed especial interest.
For several months the interior of
the edifice has been undergoing ex-
tensiVe repairs, which were completed
last week. The magnificent reredos
and altar was placed in position, and
the new organ, the largest and most
costly in the State, was ready for use
in the services. The reredos and al
tar were erected at the expense of the
children of the late Col. w. P Thomp-
son, and are intended as a memorial to
Col. and Mrs. Thompson. In connec-
ton with the memorial windows which
have been placed in the church during
recent months, the improvements
make St. Matthew's one of the hand
soonest edifices for religious worship
in this section of the country.
The services yesterday were very
largely attended, many members of
other congregations availing them
selves of the opportunity to see and
admire the remodeled interior. The
reredos and altar have been hereto
fore described in the Register, and
technical description of the new organ
has been given. They are similar in
design to the famous and beautiful
reredos and altar in the cathedral at
Litchfield, England. The volume of
tone, together with its purity and
sweetness, were favorably commented
upon by all competent judges of or
gans who were present at the service,
and the congregation is justly proud
of the new instrument During the
evening service, while the rector was
making the customary announcements
for the coming week, the organ made
a whistling noise, which was so loud
as to interfere with the rector. The
explanation is made that in organs
of such complicated mechanism it fire.
quently requires several weeks before
the different parts are adjusted to their
proper working order.
Holy Communion service was held
at 1880 o'clock, and the elaborate pro-
gramme published in the Register was
rvsx- IT, Do ir %ho
ganist At the late morning services
the congregation completely filled the
church. Slight confusion resulted
from an error in the printed programme
which led many of the congregation
to believe that Holy Communion would
be given. The sermon by the rector,
Rev. David W. Howard, was appro-
pirate to the occasion. In the course
of his remarks he made brief refer
ence to the Christian generosity of
the donors, commencing them for the
liberal spirit which is too seldom man
ifested by professed Christians.
Just before the close of the ser
vice, the formal dedication of the or
gan, altar and reredos took place. and
the rector offered up a very fervent
prayer, in which he thanked the do
nors and invoked divine blessing upon
them.
Last evenings services consisted of
an elaborate instrumental programme,
and a brief address by the Rev. Mr..
Howard The offerings during the day
were very large. The morning offering
was for the rector's charity fund; 1890

should be offered for the in
crease and abundance Of His
fruits on the face of the earth -"
There was dancing on the vii

observancos, differing but in
the manners of the times, char
acterized the autumn festival in

Thanksgiving Days have occurred
in the history OF all nations, but,

America alone among modern
peoples to consistently acknowl-
edge Divine mercy by an annual
season devoted to Thanksgiving.
