sPooKs WITH BAD HABITS.
How a Tobacco-Loving Spirit Worked
His Nephew for Cigars.

From the New York Times.
That a man who had a fondness for
liquid spirits while on this earth has a
narrowing and distressing time of 1t when
he himself becomes a spirit. because of
his inability to get an "eye-opener' or a
might cap was declared yesterday at
the convention of the New York State
spiritualists' association in Crosby hall,
Brooklyn.
This disquieting intelligence was COM
municated by medium from Troy. She
also made known the awful state in store
for tobacco smokers beyond THO Styx. 1t
seems that when these nicotine favored
ones get on the other side the craving of
the weed is still with them, but they are
denied even a Pittsburg stogie However
1t appears 1t is possible for a tobacco
loving spirit to arrange to do his smoking
through proxy on earth.
The men in the audience considered
that 1t would be hard on smoker to
have him die just now with the cigar
war on In New York and clear Havanas
selling for 30 cents a crate, with groups of
statuary and silk damask parlor suits
thrown in as premiums
The discussion was on the bad habits
of men. The medium told of the case Of
one man who was an inveterate smoker.
After his death he discovered that his
appetite for nicotine was still clingng to
him, but after much nosing around he
failed to find even a spiritual nickel-in-
the-slot machine where he could get a
cigar.
Then, for the first time" said the me-
dunn, he realized what an awful thing
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-03-22

it was to be possessed by an appetite he
could not crafty"
But this spirit, it appears, was cunning
to degree. and he hit on scheme to
evade the laws of spiritland and enjoy a
smoke.
He had nephew" continued the me-
dium. whom he knew to be weak Lao,
and by his spirit power he made this boy
do his smoking for him. He would hang
around and inhale the fumes
The spirit uncle. 1t appears. kept this
thing up for two years, enjoying his ne
phew's clear Havanas, while the boy paid
the bill. But one day the uncle was
stricken with remorse, and his nephew
suddenly stopped smoking. When his
friends asked the boy how he had come
to give up the weed. he explained that
his uncle had come to him and begged
his pardon for working him for a good
thing promising never to do 1t again.
IF the men of today said the speaker,
knew how many spirits hang around
the corner saloons suffering fortunes be-
cause they can't get drink they would
be more careful in fostering the danger

larger number of people in the work of
the association, and TO enlist individual
interest and cooperation.
That Birmingham can support such an
institution is indicated by the evident
interest on the part of hundreds of young
business women whom Miss Barnes ad-
dressed the past week, and the uniting
of the very forces now interested in de
veloping these plans will assure success.
Every person who has attended any one
of the meetings held the past week to
arouse interest in the plans of the assoc
citation will echo the beautiful sentiment
expressed by Margaret e. Sangster
Il can not be sufficiently glad ana
thankful that in some slight way l have
been identified with the consecrated work
and have had glimpse of the pure and
bright ideals of the Young Womens
Christian association" wrote Mrs. Sang
ster.
Miss Barnes addressed two parlor con-
ferences yesterday, one at the residence
of Mrs T. G.. Bush. and the second al
the residence of Mrs. E. T. Talaferro,
A parlor conference will be held Mon
day morning at Il o'clock at the residence
of Mrs e. n. Cullom, and on Monday
afternoon. at $3.50 o'clock, at the resi-
dence of Mrs. W. s. Brown.

will be addressed by Miss Helen r.
Barnes. one of the national secretaries of
the American committee, and by Cap
tain w. C. Ward, one of Blrmnghams
ablest speakers and who IS deeply in

Several of the ministers in the city will
assist in the devotional exercises and
Miss Mccoy, Birmingham brilliant or
ganist, has arranged a delightful musical

The ministers in all the churches win
announce from their pulpits today the
meeting and the purpose for which it is
held, and at the women's conferences of
the past week every effort has been
made to arouse interest in the meeting
this afternoon.
The concerted action that is being
taken at present in the work of the
Young Mems Christian association
should in no way absorb public atten-
ton to the extent that the plans proposed
by the Young Women's Christian assoc
SAotioi snouiu nOl receive the financial
encouragement necessary to develope the
work.
The representative men interested in
the Y, NJ c. A work, and who are
contributing to it's fund, will appreciate
all the more the difficulties now con-
fronting the young women in perfecting
their plans.
The philosophical men of Birmingham
should contribute to both funds, and the
needs of the army of young business
women in the city should not be over
looked.
The plans of the association have been
written of so fully In the papers the
past week that no one can be in ignor-
ance of the work that has been UNDER
taken by the Young Women's Christian
association, organized in this city last
Thursday
Miss Barnes has addressed audiences
every day on the subject of the Young

audiences made up of business women
and the women of leisure. She has pre-
scented every feature of the work, the
opening of reading and rest rooms the
luncheon feature for the busy woman
the gymnasium, the practical and edu-
cative side of the work as well as its
deeply religious side.
These plans so repeatedly discussed
from time to time, both in the papers
and by individuals. have through the or
ganization of the city association reached
a defniteness that precludes all thought
of failure. The meeting this afternoon
will be held for the purpose of inspiring a

Life In the Metronolis.

From the New York Press.
Somewhere between here and Bath
Beach, the dumping ground of Brooklyn s
Rapid Transit system, about 140 passen-
gers were put out to wait for the next
car" There was a lot of savage talk.
The hour was growing late. Finally a
man who did none of the talking went
to the company's telephone, called up the
superintendent. and said: Send two
cars here Immediately; people are becom-
ing restless; act in haste. else there'll be
a riot" In a few minutes the two cars
arrived. The company Is still guessing
who did the telephoning. If his identity
can be proved it is highly probable that
he will be invited to assume the direction
of the road.
After the cars were filled with grum-
