Passing of the weems Line.

The passing of the Weems Steamboat
Company said to be the oldest steam trans
portation company in this country from all
connection with the Weems, Williams and
Forbes families. who have been so init
mately connected with its direction and
success, will be completely accomplished in
Baltimore today, when City Collector
Henry Williams, the former manager. and
his sons. Mason l.. Williams and Henry
Williams, jr., who also held high executive
positions in the company, will remove for
good and all from the offices at pier 2.
Light street, where, since 1874. the direction
of the fleet of steamers which are the pride
of Baltimore has been carried on so sue
cessfully to the great advantage of the city
and of vast areas in Southern Maryland
and the Old Dominion. Thus today, for
the first time in eighty-seven years, there
will be missed the guiding hand Of some
member of the Weems family connection.
which has never before been out of the
hands of the family which established it.
will bid the Messrs Williams adieu as they
relinquish their offices to the exclusive use
of the Pennsylvania railroad officials, who
now enter upon their full devoirs.

Fxneriments in the Telepathy.

Translated from Paris Cosmos for Public oplhloh.
In nv efforts to discover the mechanism
of teIenathy communication l used Ro-
man medium, Politi. taking him to the
house of NJ de Albertis, al Joinville. HaV-
ing read that Mesmer had at one time put
q woman to sleep by placing his cane In
basin of water, the woman having placed
her umbrella in the same basin, decided
to see If the same effects could be obtained
with nv medium. ! went one morning with
Politt to the border of the Marine. and re-
quested him to put his cane in the water
where 1 also placed my own stick at some
naces upstream, at the same time making
a muscular effort. The effort on my part
produced a violent contraction of the arm
of the medium, who nearly fell into the
water although I subsequently discovered
that the interpositlon OF ooat between
myself and the medium succeeded In ar
resting the effect. We then returned to the
garden of the house and proceeded to make
a series Of tests.
M. de Albertis joined us In our promenade,
and the following is his account in an 1tal-
ian journal of the experiments made: DE
Rochas, Politi and myself went to the bor-
der of the Marine, river with breadth of
$50 feet and depth of from fifteen to thirty
feet, being very rapid. De Rochas was
rowed to the middle of the river while Po-
liti and myself took another boat and de-
scended the current, stopping at a distance
of about twelve hundred feet from De
Rochas l had agreed with De Rochas that
when he made signal by raising his cane
was to request the medium to place his
own stick in the water, the back of the me-
dunn being toward De Rochas. All of this
was done. De Rochas gave the signal, l
gave the order to Polit., who placed his
cane in the water and waited. A few Sec
onds passed before the medium felt any eff
feet, then suddenly his arm was violently
shocked, his hand contracted, he resisted
with all his strength, but 1t was evident
that the cane was powerfully drawn toward
the bottom of the river. This experiment
was repeated many times, and gave with
every trial the same result. The following
days experiments were made on the tracks
of railroad, which experiments seem to
Indicate that the effects may be transmit
ted for a much greater distance along this
sort of conductor"

Motives in churchgoing.
From the Christian Register.


The people who frequent our churches,
whether lay or clerical, may be divided into
two classes-the giyers and the getters.
Those who are really called to the service
Of the church usually ask first of all: What
can do? How much can give? How can
I help others along so that the cause for
which our church stands will have honor
able furtherance. and result in blessing to
the world? The getters, whether lay or
clerical, always ask themselves-and some-f
times they are indiscreet enough to ask
Others-If go into this thing what shall /
get out Of 1t? How is 1t going to make me
more happy, or prosperous. or successful
or popular? A man of affairs took pew
in Unitarian church, but at the end OF
year gave 1t up. with a contemptuous re-
mark that he had attended that church
year and hadn't got cent out of 1t in the
way of business. This was only an extreme
case of disposition too commonly mani
Tested in other ways for the good OF the
church. The person who stands OF and

monty cares nothing for the souls of others.
Ii he sought the church for the opportunity
Of doing good his complaints would cease.
