TO TALK WITH SPIRITS.
Duluth Man Thinks MarcOnps Plan
May Lead to Com m uni alton.


A n. McGindley of Duluth, spiritual.
list, lawyer and student Of occult phi
losophy, believes the time Is approach
ing when the inhabitants Of the mate
rial and spiritual worlds will establish
communication and hold conversation,
as Ineligible and satisfactory as may
now be held over the telephone.
ut is difficult to get an expression Of
belief thus advanced into the public
press" said Judge McGindley to a rep.
resentative of the Chicago Record Her
aid, lowing to the bigotry which pre-
walls so largely in church organizations.
1t is only within the last forty years
that person could express the convic.
ton of spirit return without having his
mental soundness questioned.
THE spirit world spreads all about
us, and science will open up communi-
cation with our immaterial brothers
before many years have elapsed. am
of the opinion that within five or six
years the communication will be as
easy and Ineligible as conversation
over the telephone. Marconi's discov-
cry of wireless telegraphy is long
stride in that direction, believe, and it
would not surprise me If through 1t the
communication Is to be opened"

PEhRY STILL WILLING.
II Backed with sI5O.OOO, He Offers to
Make Dash For the Pole.

Despite the fact that he recently an
nounced his intention of never again
attempting TO find the north pole. Lieu
tenant Robert Peary, the arctic eXplor-
er, declared the other night at the con-
clusion OF a lecture upon his last jour
ney TO the far north, delivered before
the Philadelphia Geographical society
in Witherspoon hail. that, provided any
one would place Sl50,o00 at his dispos-
al, he would be willing TO undertake
another expedition next summer in n
final endeavor TO reach the pole, says
the New York Times.
He said that he believed the discov-
cry of the pole was practicable, al
though IT was his opinion that there
was no land there and that the pole
could be reached by the man who could
secure a footing on the northern shore
of Grinnell Land with proper supplies
TO enable him TO make IA dash across
the ice packs" He expressed his be-
lief that be had reached the farthest
point of land toward the pole during
his last expedition and that a trip over
the ice to the northward would realize
his dream of discovery during sixteen
years.

LORD BERESFORD EXPLAINS
Deemed Anglo-German Union In Ven
ezuela Case Imprudent.

Deemed Anglo-Germ Union In Ven
esuela Case Imprudent.
Lord Charles Beresford when seen
by reporter for the New York Herald
the other day was somewhat peraurbed
over what he said was misunder-
standing of his remarks on the motive
Of England and Germany in proceed
ing against Venezuela and denied that
he had ever said or intimated that the
underlying motive was an attack on
the Monroe doctrine.
II never said that Germany and
Great Britain joined together in an at
tack on the Monroe doctrine" Lord
Beresford said. What | did say was
that l thought 1t imprudent for two
great nations like Germany and Great
Britain to join together over small
affair like the Venezuelan dispute for
two reasons:
First, that Great Britain might
quite conceivably do something to irri-
tate Germany or Germany might do
something to, irritate Great Britain.
This could not occur If both nations
worked on their own bottoms sepa-
rately.
"The second reason was that the
mere fact Of two great European ma
tons joining together in matter prob
ably requiring armed forces and con-
nected with state situated on the con-
tinent Of America might reasonably
arouse American susceptibilities with
regard to the Monroe doctrine.
I'm fact, the words that used were
almost identical with opinions express
ed by the press Of Great Britain and
the United States when discussing the
question and also represented large
amount of press opinions in Germany.
1t was quite impossible" Lord Beres-
ford continued, ''for me to have infer
red that the British government was
anything but a supporter Of the Mon
roe doctrine.
MY government declared to that ef-
feet In the house of commons In De-
cember. | am thoroughly aware Of its
feelings on the question and knew that
the sentiments of the British people
are most certainly in sympathy with
the government"

well guarded to make prospecting prof.
veloped new trick the other day TO
get anthracite. A dozen or more ur-
chins, clad in rags, gathered in the Vi
cinity of Manhattan street and Broad
way, where the large wagons laden
with several tons Of coal each pass
continuously. Very little coal fell from
the carts us they rumbled along, and
scraping the tops of the loads with
sticks and rakes did not yield much OF
a supply, says the New York Times
Finally one boy, seeing an unusually
large load OF nut coal heaped high on
three ton wagon, climbed over the
tailboard and, throwing himself down
In the coal, fioundered about like one
In fit, scattering the fuel in all di-
rections. The astonished driver turned
lie the clever trick until he saw the
crowd gathering the plumber; then,
making wild leap from the seat, he
started after the crowd, which disap-
peared around the corner before he had
taken twenty strides.
The next wagon that came along
was treated in the same manner, each
boy taking bis turn at throwing fit
in the coal" as they called it, while his
companions gathered up the spoils.
Citizens stopped to watch the fun and
seemed to enjoy 1t immensely. The po-
licemen on post either did not see what
was going on or, if they did, paid no
attention to it. During the afternoon
at least a ton and half of coal WAS
scattered through the street Every
piece was gathered up and carefully
hoo rdad

the loud peal Of the doorbell which
startled the household was answered
by Mr.. Brewster from front window.
He was hOrriicd 10 see flames Issuing
from the windows OF the floor below.
The policeman ON the beat screamed TO
him to hurry all out before it was too
late. The opening of doors and win
dows created draft which helped to
feed the flames. and 1t seemed impossi-
Die that some lives would not be lost.
Cries of Fire screaming servants,
questions of frightened guests, volumes
of smoke and tongues Of flame made
horrible picture.
The tlrcmCn rescued all the inmates
and were congratulating themselves
that every one was saved when the ag-
onizcd face of Alice was seen at an up
per window. How she got back they
did not know, as she had been brought
out among the first, but II was soon I'M
dcrstood, In her arms was her pet
squirrel. She had gone back. not appre-
eating the danger to herself, TO save
this little brute, knowing that he would
otherwise perish in his cage.
How could they save herr 1t seemed
impossible. Even the tree in front of
the house was now beginning TO burn.
and there was scarcely a f0othold left
on the building safe under the weight
of a man. As they gazed and tried to
decide what to do Alices cry for help
was suddenly answered.
Keep still. missus! Tonys comm
Before the little dcformcd creature
could be stopped he climbed the burn
ing tree like yertable child OF the
woods. and while a GREATNESS crowd
watched him he swung himself into the
window. his garments honeycombed
with burning patches.
"Stan' on de sill, quick! Doan' be
skeered."
Alice mechanically obcyed, From the
sill Tony caught the largest limb near
him, and, swinging out, he clasped one
arm around it, holding out his other
hand to Alice.
Swing right ober, quick, missus.'
She again obeyed, and at once the
fremen held their net, as they realized
the intention of the boy.
"Fo' Gods sake, ketch her. Doan'
mine me"
With that Tony told Alice to jump,
and as she rose to obey he covered his
eyes, as If dreading to see what might
happen. In his excitement he loosened
his hold on the tree, and Alicc's jump
was almost immediately followed by
groan of horror as the brave boy fell to
lower branch, to which he managed
TO hang with one hand. Slowly and
painfully, for the fall had bruised his
! arm, Tony dragged himself on to the
limb. All seemed safe when a cracking
| noise sent thrill of horror through the
watchers as the branch gave way be-
meath Tony's weight. Though the net
was held to catch him. he fell outside.
| The fearful shock rendered him uncon-
scioHs and his badly burned body was
beyond the aid of Il physician. Alice,
who was heartbroken. was untiring in
her devotion, but before another dawn
Tony gazed at his young mistress and

THE EMERSON CENTENARY.
Tive Tribute. Proposed In Memory OF
sreat~ss American Phtiosoph~r.

MAY ~. 1893. will h. the one hun
dredih anniversary 81 the birth Of
Ralph Waldo Emerson. poet. lecturer
and philosopher. How his birthday
shall he commemoraied is just now a
question agitating literary Boston and
especially that part Of il that moves
and has Its being out at Cambridge. In
the precincts Of Harvard university.
for. since Emerson stands forth as per
hans the most distinguished literary
man in the entire list Of Harvard grad
yates. Il has been thought fitting that
he should in some way be especially
honored by his alma mater.
Two tributes have thus far been pro
posed. An Emerson hall for housing
the department OF philosophy was sug'
gested some time ago by Professor HUI
40 Munsterberg. the chairman OF the
Harvard philosophical department. and
a good start has already been made to-
ward getting together funds for Its
erection, so that IL is now expected that
the cornerstone will be laid on the date
Of the centenary.
The other tribute that has been pro
posed is a general celebration by the
college itself, though there is possible
objection in that the university never
yet has had an anniversary jubilee over
any one individual and that distin-
guished alumni are so numerous on the
college lists that once a precedent OF
celebrating a birthday is established 1t
will be hard TO refuse TO do so again.
But this difficulty will probably be sur
mounted and exercises held that will
delight the spirit of the Concord phi
losopher. II he hovers over them, in
spite of his own stanZa:
Far or forgot to me are near.
Shadow and sunlight are the same.
The vanished gods to me appear.
And one to me are shame and fame.

NO COON DOGS FOR LIBERIA

Negroes From Georgia Have to Leave
Animals Behind on Sailing.
Great was the sorrow Of party of
negroes from Irwin county, Ga, when
they had to part from their dogs the
other day, says the New York Press.
The White Star pier resounded with
their wailings. The howls of the dogs
added to the outburst
How can we get along without dogs
in Liberia?" was the plaintive query of
one of the men. There We're tifty-four
persons in the party-thirty-tWo men,
twelve women and ten children--bound
for the African land of promise. They
had two bloOdhOundS and two power
full fine coon dogs" But when they
trooped aboard the TeutOnic the man
at the head of the gangplank said Get
Out!' to the dogs.
They're ours" said the leader of the
emigrants. He was panied to learn that
his ticket didn't include dogs. He was
told he must get a government permit
before the dogs could be received at an
English port. He communicated that
fact to his companions, and then the
sounds Of sorrow arose.
'"Them boodhounds has followed a
scent fifty miles," moaned George
Scott. But, under orders, he tied the
dogs in the waiting room. When the
Teutonic left her pier, the animals
strained at their ropes, but couldn't
break them, and their masters and mis-
tresses soon We're far away.
''Pity they couldn't take the coon
dogs with them" said pier hand.
'"Thered be great sport in Liberia.

BAER'S DOUBLE HONOR.
Railway Head Wished For a Grand
son and Got Two In One Day.

George F. Baer, president Of the
Reading railway, has often said, Il
would rather have grandson than any
other honor that is possible to have
conferred upon me In this world"
While Mr.. Baer was at the office his
wife received a sudden call to Lancas-
ter, Pa. says Philadelphia special to
the New York Herald. Before she ar
rived there her daughter, Mrs. VIII
liam y. Appel, had given birth to
son, Mrs Baer had scarcely had time
to telegraph the joyful news to the
president of the Reading when there
came an urgent message from Reading.
The second message stated that an
other daughter, Mrs. Frank l.. Con-
nard. had given birth to son. IL
report published some time ago Is cor
rect, Mr.. Baer will present $4,000 to
each of his grandsons both of whom
have been named after him.

PLAN TO CHECK INSANITY.
Londoner, Alarmed by ScourGe, Calls
For International Conference.


Apropos of the reported discovery
by Dr. Arthur Macdonald Of Washing
ton Of the cause of the increase in in
sanity, which has been cabled to Lon
don, an article by w. J. Corbet, which
appears in the January issue Of the
Westminster Review. comes pat:
From year to year, from decade TO
decade. from generation to generation
says Mr.. Corbet, "in spite of every eff
fort made to stop the ravages Of the
disease, the insane continue TO increase
in great numbers. The leayen spreads
annually, with cumulative force ap-
parently, under the influence of the nat
ural law of reproduction. The qucs-
ton has to be faced How long will it
take before the whole mass is leav-
ened?"
The lunacy returns show an appal!-
ing increase during the last generation
and a half. The number of registered
lunatics in the United Kingdom in 1883
was 47,992: in 1902 the number had in
creased to 1861, of these llU.Il1 be-
ing in England alone, where the year
ly Increase works out about 1000 vic.
tins.
The official view is that the increase
is more apparent than real. that the
case is rather one of accumulation
that If there is an increase it is not out
of proportion to the increase of pOpula-
ton. Mr.. Corbet repels this view with
1dnlgnation and scorn. The present sys.
TEN, he declares, is sadly wanting, and
he maintains that the marriage of Il
person who is or has been insane should
be prevented by law. lie thinks, more
over, that the question is so important
that an international conference of
qualified persons should be called to
consider it.

FRANKS After some time the boy jumped
TO his feet and as noiselessly as an
animal scaled the nearest tree and
quickly concealed himself I'm the thick
foliage of the topmost branches. This
peculiar conduct was soon explained by
the appearance Of some negroes. The
sound Of their spproa ching footsteps
had sent the frightened child into hid

through the woods was taken by many
returning home from their days work
in the fields, and this knowledge kept
the boy safe In his retreat. Soon par

them was negro Of middle age. armed

leaving Scip said:

When all was once more quiet, the
little wanderer crept cautiously from
the tree and made sort Of bed Of the
leaves and branches. When about to
lie down. a sudden thought seemed to
strike him. Knesling down. he clasped
his hands and raised his eyes In prayer:

Winter,

The north, unfriendliest wind Of all that
blow,
Sweeps the wide plain with keen and
ruthless blast
Like tiny footballs hurryng DER the snow,
The ghosts of summers leaves 60 whirl-
ing past.
There is no sound of nature, many voiced
The snow claims all the landscape for
his own;
The singing birds that all the year re-
joiced
Are hushed, and, 10, the winter reigns
alone.
AS far as eye can reach the land Is white
And gray sky bends to shrouded earth

The only note Of color. glad and bright,
Where bitter sweet shines out against
