Chicago, Dec. 9.-AdmiraI George
Dewey arrived in this city today and
with General Horace Porter, recent
United States ambassador to France,
was a guest of the Merchants club to-
night.
In a general talk this afternoon Ad-
miraI Dewey commented on the sug-
gestions that have been. made that the
internal and lake cities be fortified.
1T hardly seems necessary so long
as the treaty with England exists and
I do not think it ever will be broken
nor the ties of friendship that now
exist. The two nations are drawing
closer every day and today are closer
than ever before, just as the south
and north are closer than since the
beginning of the government.

relative strength, I will say that, aside
from England we can successfully
combat any navy of the world. 1

On my side L wish had the eloquence

Perhaps know more of the new navy

ARCHDEACON COLLEY
ON SPIRITUALISM

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, October TT am no fool and
no mere wonder monger," declared Arch
deacon Cooley the rector of Stockton whose
spiritualistic experiences are attracting at
tention throughout England. The question
OF tire compatibility of his spritualistic
belief with his position as a clergyman of
the Church OF England having been raised
in various quarters, the archdeacon said:
The spirituallsm l believe in is that of
the Bible. II the visits of angels recorded
in Holy Writ can be believed. why should
II not be believed that spirits are some
times sent from the spirit world even now
10 communicate with those on earth?
I'VE read of a spirit ministering TO Eli
jah, and we read that Christ after the res
urecction entered the room where His de-
sciples were sitting fully dressed. so that
he could be seen and touched though the
doors were shut. 1t is further recorded
that the spirits of the dead appeared unto
many"
The archdeacon describes the spirit of
lovely maiden, who, after disappearing
through the medium. left shadowy white
hlament of a garment. still resting upon
the mediums black coat
Il make an important point of psychic
clothing" he said. II hold the conviction
that spirit is rarified matter. and that the
time is not far off when the Invisible world
Will be seen and the intangible weird VIII
be felt"
No amount of talk against spirituaiism
said the archdeacan. would convince him
and he knew how difficult Il was for people
together to comprehend He had learned
by experience. patient experiment and years
of quiet study and research. and others
must do the same to acquire like results.

past; that the number of unbelievers in the
existence of Jesus of Nazareth is rapidly
growing less. Christianity has won such
marked victories. is recognized by so many
governments, that it is an acknowledged
world power and thinking men everywhere
admit the claims of Christ on them. They
know what they ought TO do, but they ex-

Now, there is nothing new in this. Jesus
Christ, in Pis day, saw the prevalence of
this weakness, and called attention to it by
means of a parable. Our text, taken from
this parable, sets before us the eastern Gus
tom of sending the servant to notify the in
vited guest that the time for the feast has
arrived and his presence desired. 1t is then
thar the excuses are given and the foolish
ness of them is very plain to all Applying
the story to our day, we realize that God
is preparing a kingdom of loving subjects
who obey His will; that there is a place in
the kingdom for every man who, in

the Spirit. will enter. That men, when con-
fronted with this invitation, offer excuses

Besides the business sessions of the bish-

cannot tell just which ones will be able
to attend, but twenty out of the total of
