DR.. Alexander ]. McIvor-Tyndall lee
tured at Elks' Hall last night on the sub
ject ''The Truth About Spiritualism'' be-
fore an audience that taxed the capacity
of the hall. He explained the difference
between the phenomena and the phloso-
ply of spiritualism, and gave due credit
to the followers of the philosophy of spirit
communion for their influence upon ad-
vanced thought. DR.. McIvor-Tyndall says
that the custom of ridiculing spiritualism
is one that should be beneath the dignity
of thinker. In fact, it is so common as
to be classed with the mother-in-law
joke. While admitting that many So
called spirit messages either trivial
or possibly fraudulent, he nevertheless
holds that the only possible assurance
of immortality must come from those who
have passed through the change called
death. DR.. McIvor-TyndalPs regular
course of lectures will begin next Sunday
at the same hall.
Following is the programme for the
coming concert of the Zech orchestra on

Another fascinating programme is prom
ised tonight by e. A. MacDowell the
composer-pianist, at his sec
ond recital at Steinway Hall. The de-
mand for seats has been so extraordinar-
lily above the seating capacity of the hall
that Mr.. MacDowelPs manager here has
arranged, by the canceling of some East
em dates, to present the pianist at a
third recital on Thursday afternoon. Fol-
lowing is to-night's programme, in which
