THE "sPIRlTs" TALKED.
The State SpirituaIist Convention Has
Little Excitement

| Dcs Moines, Jan. 21.---Ghosts have
so far kept modestly behind the scenes
AT the meetings OF the State Spiritual
| list Association in the Y. M. c. A. aud
itorium. In fact they have behaved
very modcstIy, and confined themselves
! to "messages' of consolation for rela-
| tives present In the audience. But in
| teresting revelations and manifesto
| tons are promised before the seance Is
over.
| The address, Of Rev. Harry ]. Moore
| of Chicago, delivered yesterday after
noon. was the feature Of the meetings
He discussed the relation of living be-
| ings to discarnated spirits and endenv-
ored to make clear to his audience how
phychic phenomena was best explain
ed by communion with spirits and per-
sons whose peculiar powers enable
them to hold such intercourse.
There were more "inspirational
poems by Mrs Jennie Hagan on sub
jec,s proposed by the audience. The
jingle rhyme and meter were all there
and Mrs. Brown proved herself ar
entertaining reciter.
"Spirits" Stood in Line.
At the seance In the Y. M. c. A.
| auditorium last evening Spirits" stood
i'm line and waited to bring message
to relatives in the audience. Condit-
ions didn't seem to be just right for
| communication from the spirit world
and nothing occurred that was partlc-
ularly convincing to n skeptic auditor
The disembodied spirits were provok-
ingly modest. and so far from concern
ing themselves with marvellous revela-
tons the following is sample Of the
messages" delivered thru Mrs. Rva
I Mccoy:
"In the bureau In your room at home
is a pair Of spectacles that belonged
to your sister that has passed over"
YES" replied the little old lady IN
the black bonnet who was receiving the
message"

that one OF tho lenses Is broken out

Well, at any rate, the glass IL loose

Max" as he Is affectionately called
by his followers, claims that he gets
his messages" from the spirit world
principally thru the mediumship OF an
Indian who lived close to nature In the
American forests three hundred years
ago. The walls of Mr.. Hoffman's
rooms are hung with spirit pictures"
of this ex-warrior. A picture, he says,
was obtained in Chicago, only few
weeks ago, the features. feathers,
and blanket OF the redman being de-
lineated by spirit hand. An observer
OF the portrait IL not impressed that

they retained the ceremony Of divorce.
The result was and Is that widow
who Is an orthodox Jewess cannot
marry until she has secured a formal
release from her brother-in-law. all
tho she is forbidden to marry him at
all.
One result of the custom has been
that brothers who We're not over
scrupulous would blackmail their sis
ter-in-law by refusing to attend the
ceremony until they had received a
specified sum. Again 1t has happened
that the only brother was child, and
the widow had to wait for years before
marrying, because he could not take
part In the release ceremony until he
reached a legal age.
Because of these hardships. and be-
cause of the expense attached, the

AN ANTE-MoRTEM DIVORCE.
Merchant of tho New York Ghetto In
vokes Old Jewish Law.

New York jan 21-Samuel Sabel, a
merchant of the Newark Ghetto and
an orthodox Jew. has been at the point
of death for weeks. Yesterday he call
ed three rabbits to his house and had his
wife divorced from him under the Jew
ish law in order that she might not
be under the obligation imposed by the
Mosaic law of marrying his brother
after her husbands death.
Sabel and his wife have lived togeth-
err happily. In fact, it is only husbands
whose love for their wives is strong
who ever resort to this peculiar ante
mortem divorce. 1t is an extremely
unusual thing. Rabbi b. Hailperin, the
leader of the Newark Ghetto, has
granted it once to the wife Of a con-
sumptive.
Cancelled If He Receivers.
Although Sabel is paralytic and a
great sufferer, he determined to have
the ceremony performed. 1t is long
ordeal, and the rabbits had to ask many
vorce is that if the man RECEIVERS the
whole proceeding is null and void.
Just how such a divorce has become
possible is due to complicated but
interesting phase of the Jewish relig
ious history. In Deuteronomy XIV, 5,
it is laid down In substance that if one
of the brethren who dwell together
should die and have no child, the wife
of the dead man shall not marry a
stranger. but her husbands brother
shall take her to him to wife.
This provision was made. it is sup-
posed. to perpetuate the husbands
name and property interests In the
