case was a very peculiar one. When
she went insane five years ago her
husband refused to allow her to be
taken to an asylum, carefully guard
ing her at home and trying by every
means possible to restore her reason,
but only at intervals has she been in
her right senses during the whole five
years.
Her insanity was occasioned by
the rupture of small artery at the
base of the skull while lifting a tea
kettle of hot water from the cook
stove. She was chatting CARLY at
the time and preparing light Sunday
luncheon for gathering of friends.
Insanity resulted instantly.

community. He talked quietly, with
out even the appearance of suppressed
excitement. He answered all ques-
tions, declaring that he had nothing
to hide. He said he carried the idea
non-resistanee into all the details of
his life and that he never went against
the stream. His idea is to become
perfectly passive; intelligence must give
place to the spirit and conscience must
ask no questions. He explained the
mode of life of the inmates by saying
that they were like himself, the spirit
reigning uppermost and the idea of
non-resistance allowing them to be
swept along wherever the impulse Of
spirit saw fit to carry them.
Beilhart produced copy of his paper,
Spirit Fruit, and also copy of the
constitution of the Spirit Fruit society.
In the former Beilhart gives history
of the doctrine he teaches and how
he came to believe it. He says he was
originally Seven Day Adventist
preacher in Kansas. Later he became
believer in faith healing and spent
sofh0 time at Battle Creek, Mich,
where he says he effected many cures
Christian Science, Spiritualism and
Theosophy were taken up by him in
succession. He says he found truth in
all of them, but gradually came to the
conclusion that love, universal love,
was the solution of the problem Of
life.
81 saw" he says, that il | lived
the life of love it must be the universal
love; it must mean freedom for me
and all who enter life. Freedom from
what? Freedom to take any one we
choose and cast them off when we want
them no more. There must be abso-
lutte abandonment, absolute non-resis-
lance"
Though the Spirit Fruit society is
now the owner of what is conceded
to be the best farm in this vicinity,
having in cultivation 100 acres of land.
when Beilhart came here six Years ago
he had nothing. He says the spirit
brought him money to buy the land
| and that as soon as the spirit within
him made it manifest that that partic-
ular farm should be his, money began
coming to him by mail from all parts
of the world. wholly unsolicited and
without his knowing where it came
from. Men of Lisbon who do business
with Beilhart say they find him wholly
honest. He does no PROSECUTING in this
vicinity. He is married man and the
father of two children, but neither his
wife nor children are with him. He
says his wife is in accord with his
views, but the home seemed to be toe
universal and she left him.

To love one child more than another

LISBON Ohio, June Con perhaps
with which the country about Lisbon
is dotted stands large, old-fashioned
country house commanding a view I'M
surpassed for beauty. This house is
the home of the Spirit Fruit society,
an incorporated religious organization,
practicing beliefs directly in contrast
with ordinary ideas of religion.
Fourteen men and women are housed
together here. According to the state
ment of Jacob Beilhart, president of
the society, and executive head of the
household, but one couple is married.
This couple is Robt. G. Wall and wife,
of Chicago. Wall was formerly
prominent labor delegate and came TO
Lisbon with Beilhart and two women
from Chicago several days ago. He and
the women are recent converts to the
religion taught by Beilhart. The other
persons in the house are either mar
ried persons living apart from their
husbands or wives, or unmarried per-
sons. Several are young girls hardly
out of the teens, some of them from
this vicinity and others from various
parts of the country.
omcial Investigation.
Non-resistance, universal love and
common ownership are the three es-
, sential tenets of their religion. Lis
bonites with high moral ideals have
from time to time tried to procure
official investigation into the affairs
but as the Spirit Fruit farm is beyond
the village limits. authorities say they
can do nothing.
Beilhart told the n. Z. A. cores
pendent last night that the reason
of opposition to his views is that they
are not understood He claims to be
in advance of the times, and says his
doctrines are destined to take root
and thrive for all time. The n. +. A.
man on his visit to the Spirit Fruit
farm found Beilhart and his followers
sitting together in the large basement
room at the home. There were gray
haired women and young women, men
and babies in the room. Beilhart was
