HONEST SPIRITS.
In Trance Utterances They Recant
Former Beliefs.
From the London Mail.


From the London Mail.
Spiritualism, anti vivisection and
vegetarianism have all three received
a rude shock at the shadowy hands of
a couple of eminent but disembodied
spirits who were widely known in the
flesh as DR.. Anna Kingsford and Ed
ward Maitland.
There were no greater enemies Of
the viviseetionist than these two lead
ers of occult, psychical and mystical
research. They spoke and wrote inces-
sanity against what they believed to
be 1.-THE cowardly and brutal treatment
of dumb animals" In like manner they
preached and wrote in opposition to
the use of animals for purposes OF
food.
And now they have startled their
friends by sending a spirit message to
the effect that they have found how
wrong were their surmises, and that
flesh eating and vivisection can be in
dulged in with impunity.
These trance utterances" which
have shaken the foundation of the
spiritualistic world were given through
a private medium, and a member OF
the Society of Psychical Research who
was present has sent them for publi-
cation to the enditor of Light the
spiritualistic journal. He states that
Mr.. Edward Maitland had been per-
sonally known to two of the sitters,
who considered the manner of ges-
lures of the medium, when under his
control, as most characteristic. The
spirit delivered several messages,
among which was the following:
God does not give the world ami
mails and lower life for nothing. We do
not harm in eating the food God pro-
vides: material must be sustained with
material otherwise the mind deterior-
ate. This was my mistake; We did
not realize II. There is no harm In
killing for food: II is what nature I'M
tends. They say all are crazy on some

The significant feature of the case
was, however, it's manifestation OF the
mania which we may call speed mad
ness, which seems to possess a con-
siderable part OF the community. This
is a craze for going faster than the
law permits. # the legal maximum
were only four miles an hour law
breakers would probably be satisfied
with a speed of five miles. If it were
increased to sixty miles an hour not
one of them woul1 be happy until he
was moving at the rate of sixty-one.
To paraphrase an historic saying, too
fast is just fast enough. The passion
is one for forbidden fruit 1t Is not
that the fruit is sweet or that they are
hungry, but simply that it is forbid
den. 1t is not that they so greatly care
for driving, or that high speed has a
fascination for tnems bus that they

IMMUNE FROM SMALLPOX.
Persons Vaccinated Can Contract Disease
Only in a Modified Form.

One Of the Inspectors Of the Health
Department stated yesterday that there
is good deal of Misrepresentation in the
minds Of many people as to the nature
and effects of vaccination. In general he
said the result of vaccination was i'm
cases. perhaps one-half of them the re-
suit was that the person vaccinated could
contract the disease. but that he would
have it in modified form.
He stated that the vaccine serum is the
blood serum from a calf inoculated by
smallpox. He also said the disease is
modified in bovine animals into what is
known as 'cowpoX." The serum taken
from the blood Of the animal is what is
used for vaccination. This he said, is
indicted into the blood of the person
vaccinated and produces, generally, a
single sore, which is in reality a form
of smallpox.
After vaccination, the inspector said
the person is immune from smallpox be-
cause he has had the disease. This con-
stitutes, in his opinion, the efficacy of
vaccination. If it does not actually free
a person from ccntagion 1t places him in
condition to resist the worst effects of
smallpox. Those who have been vac
cinated, if they have smallpox, suffer
much less. are marked much less from
the scars. and frequently escape with
what is popularity called varioloid.
Tine inspector counseled vaccination in
all healthy persons as being a safe and
effective preventive from taking the
SMALLPOX.

Commissioners Not Authorized to Com
promise in JacOby Case.

The Commissioners of the District re-
quested the opinion of the Comptroller of
the Treasury as to whether they would be
authorized to accept the proposition OF
the bohdsmen of the late Mr.. John ia
CODY to complete the work of grading
Joliet Street, under an agreement to be
made by which the bondsmen shall re-
ceive in addition to the amounts hereaf-
ter to be earned under the contract, the
amounts alredy due and unpaid for work
done under said contract, or whether it is
necessary to readvertise and relet the
work to the lowest bidder.
Mr.. Tracewell's opinion is that the
Commissioners are not authorized to
agree with the sureties of Jacoby to in
demnify or to pay to them the amount of
retained percentages withheld on the es-
Inmates made to Jacoby; that if the sure
ties without resembling of the original
contract or reletting thereof complete

Details of Proposed Municipal
Institution Reviewed.
EXTENDED CONFERENCE HELD
Commissioner Ross Not Present-Whole
Matter to Be Submitted to Him Be
fore Action Is Taker-Two Months for
Competition of Architects.

The Board of District Commissioners,
the Health officer. the Secretary 10 the
Board Of Charities. and Mr.. Edmund
Wheelwright, the consulting architect. held
an extended conference yesterday with
reference TO the final competition fer the
plans for the proposed municipal hospi-
tai.
One of the questions considered was
whether there should be any departure
from the general plans, as set forth in
the preliminary competition Mr.. Wheel
wright desired especially to get at the
views of the authorities in reference to the
matter before going on with the draft
ing of the programme for the final Gem
petition.
Details Gone Over.
The details OF the proposed hospital
were discussed more at length than they
had ever been before. Several sugges-
tions were submitted to the Board Of
Charities and by the Health Officer and
by the Commissioners. These were care
fully noted by the architect and will
form a part CT the scheme of plans to
be executed by the arcnltecls VINO Will
compete.
Commissioner Ross was absent from the
conference and Commissioners Macfar-
land and Biddle, while substantially
agreeing that there should be no radical
change from the general plans submitted,
thought that the whole matter should
be submitted to Commissioner Ross
upon his return TO his desk next week.
Accordingly the several questions in
volvcd were held back for reference to
Commissioner Ross. and the architect
will be informed by correspondence of the
final action of the Commissioners.
Plans in a Few Days.
Commissioner Mcfarland stated yes
terday that il was expected the architect
would be able to work out the programme
for the final competition within six days
after the receipt of Instructions from
the Commissioners. and that six weeks
or two months would be required for
the competing architects to draft their
plans and make them ready for the final
decision of the Commissioners and their
assistants.

SAYS DOCTORS ARE
ALL MUCH MISTAKEN
Caroline de Bursieres Tells
Court She IS Not Insane.
Claims Credit for Success of Fusion
Roberts Returned to Asylum.

THE doctors are very much mistaken if
they think my mind lis disturbed" said
Mrs. Caroline de Bursieres, whose sanity
was yesterday a subject of judicial en-
quiry before Justice Barnard, sitting for
probate business.
In statements made both to the court
and to the physicians appointed to deter
mine her mental condition, she stated
that she came here recently from New
York
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Bur
sieres was arrested at the Capitol some
weeks ago while trying to force an en-
trance into the Senate chamber to see the
senior Senator from the State of New
York. She says she is the president of
the Incarnate Society of the World; that
her breath is the spirit of God. and she
blows it upon the waters to purify them.
Claims Much Credit.
Mrs. de Bursieres stated that she was
in a great measure responsible for the
success of the fusion ticket and the cleo
ton of Mr.. Low as the mayor of New
York. This can be verified she said, be
cause the majority of the fusion ticket is
the same number as that upon the door of
the house in which she resided in New
York.
She also visited Pittsburg. she said and
was instrumental in settling the labor
troubles there. She further informed the
court that she is a divorced woman, and
received IS weekly as alimony from her
husband, through the superintendent OF
charities in New York. 1t is learned that
the woman's relatives all reside at Baton
Rouge, La.
Roberts Goes Back
Mr.. Rollin X. Roberts, who was arrest
ed in this city some time ago because
of the evident unbalanced condition of
his mind. was yesterday committed to st.
Elizabeth's Asylum for the Insane. When
the courts attention was called to Mr..
Roberts mental condition two weeks ago
he contended that he was the greatest
actor living, and was being prosecuted
by the theatrical trust.
Justice Barnard advised him that II
would be better if he would return to the
asylum and remain there some time for
treatment. Mr.. Roberts objected to this.
and said that he should not be deprived
of his liberty without a trial by jury.
ms rght was accorded MIN by tne
court and the hearing set for Thursday
last. On that day, however, the courts
took a recess in order that the justices
of the Supreme Court of the District
might attend the Mckinley memorial ex-
ercises at the Capitol.
The matter came up yesterday in the
regular course OF consideration of pro-
bate business, and Mr.. Roberts decided
that t was best that he should return
to the asylum and remain there until
cured of his decisions and Authorizations
and other mental troubles.
The others who were committed to the
asylum are Harry Green, Grace McGee,
William G. Barker, Timothy Hynes, Rich
ard !" Johnson, George II. Wickert, Will
liam II. Ernul and Joseph A. Newell.
