SEEKS SPIRITS
Mrs. Caroline Lang Of the
Holy Ghost Society StarVes
While Waiting Divine
Manifestations.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is, 1906
So faint from fasting that She could
hardly stand, Mrs. Caroline Lang and
the one other surviving member of the
Holy Ghost society conducted a farewell
service in the temple at 1928 South Elev-
enth street, where for three weeks Mrs.
Lang guarded the dead body of Mrs.
Julia Rudnan. who's resurrection she ex-
pected.
The two surviving members of this
strange society cannot understand why
their priestess, Mira Mita. does not come
in power and prevent their being turned
out of the temple, which has been sold
for factory purposes.
The house is place of mystery to all
the neighbors, who yesterday declared
that for more than an hour during the
morning they had been seeing through the
dusty grating covering the cellar windows
Mrs. Lang upon her knees before brick
pillar in the basement
Mrs. Long would not speak regarding
the final services in the house. Chief
Deputy Coroner Hammond declares that
the little old woman is starving herself
to death in an effort to appease Mira
Alita. Mrs. Langs cheeks are sunken
and her voice is 80 weak that it can
scarcely be heard
The old man who shared in the last
service appeared in but little better
plight. His face was drawn and thin,
and he was so weak that after leaving
the house he could scarcely totter to the
corner, where he waited for car. While
standing there he fell from weakness and
was unable to get up. Policeman Mason
and the conductor of trolley car picked
him up and laid him upon the rear seat
of trolley car. The conductor said he
knew the man and where to put Elm off.
In preparation for the dismantling Of
the temple the elaborate altar that had
been reared by the devotees when the
society was fourishing was removed
Saturday. Mrs. Lang refused to say
where the last services We're conducted,
and she shook her head when asked if
the spirits of the former members haG
attended the service, as she has said they
have done heretofore
Julia was with me for little time
to-day" she said, evidently referring to
the dead woman over whose body she
held such terrible watch.
''Why are you starving yourself?s she
was asked.
Il will not speak of the calls Of the
spirit" she replied. When asked where
she expected to go after the house was
torn down, she replied
4 have no fear. viii be taken care
of"
The police state that they have assur-
ances that Boston relatives of the woman
will call for and take her away. They
are hoping that there will be no delay.
| as Mrs. Lang appears to be upon the
point of death and spurns their aid.

Discussion Of the East Chino

Difficulties to Peace Pso-

SAKHALIN COMES KEz7
QUESTION OF IT'S SESSION MAY
PROVE A BIG BARRIER =
AGREEMENT on THREE ARTT-
Giles. !. :. ~. ....,...s,.....

PORTSMOUTH. n. H. August Is.
1905.-The Peace Conference. on meeting
this morning soon after $50 o'clock pro-
ceeded at once to the consideration Of
Article 4. There was considerable sur
prise when Mr.. Sato. announced officially.
at the close of yesterdays session. as rep
resenting both parties, that they had
disposed Of Articles 1. and g. Later
on he said that by disposed Of he
meant "agreed on
And while there was 40 official admis-
sion on the subject which is precluded
by the insistence of the japanese on con-
tinued secrecy, it is known that the ball
was opened with Corea in Article l.
Article dealt with the question of the
evacuation of Manchuria There was no
such certainty on the subject Of Article
3, but there is good reason to believe
that it had to do with the cession to
Japan of the Russian leasehold in the
Liaotung Peninsula. 1t was learned This
morning that Article had to do VIA
the Chinese railroad and that the Sch
would prove to be devoted to SakhaIin.
All this might be regarded as idle sncc-
ulation weresit not for the fact that tie
nature of the early clauses of the dscu-
ment proved to be such as to admit ce
phenomenally quick work on the part Of
the members of the conference. A little
consideration of the subject showed at
once the fallaciousness of optimistic the
ories based on what had been accompl sh-
ed up to the beginning Of to-day's ses-
sion.
The question of the disposition of the
East China Railway involves many diff
culties. But it is easy to see that a road
which had been built and owned by Rus
sia for strategic purposes could not be re-
garded by Japan as simple public util-
ity. Running through Chinese territory
as it does. some would naturally say that
China ought to control it. if nhe was to
protect herself against Japan. On the
other hand, the Japanese would have to
be compensated for the many improve
ments they have made since they got CON
troll
1t is no wonder that the question of
Sakha1in, like that of indemnity, is one
as to which both sides are so determined
that an agreement seems impossible. II
the peace conference is wrecked, this Is
one of the rocks on which it will so to
pieces. The Russian expansionist. No
volskoy, discovered Sakhalin in iS5f
BY one act of aggression after anoth
the Japanese were gradually crowd
out. Russia claimed half of the islam
This was but preliminary to controllii
the whole. for, by opposing delniitatiol
the military settlers from the mainland
were enabled to swarm all over the
place.
Japan protested. but she had not the
force to make her protest effeetual. In
1875 the last effort was made to bring
about an arrangement. But Russia
offered the Mikado the barren Kurilcs
in exchange for his rights for Saklaiin.

BIRDS SHUT OUT THE eRAYs
TORONTO AND BUFFALO DE
FEATED MONTREAL AND RoCH-
EsTER-THE CLUBS STAND
ING.

The Skeeters and the Sailors tackled
each other yesterday, and the Skeeters
won out. The game, in a measure,
demonstrated what the Skeeters can do
to a Jerseyman The Sailors are in the
employ Of the Board Of Health and have
devoted their efforts throughout the sea-
son to help exterminate the pest The
pest is still with us and is likely to be
for awhile at least. He's resting still
on the topmost branch Of the tree calm
ly waiting a safe descent on his victim.
His enemy is the Bird. and the Bird is
wide awake and is also in the topmost
ing in the immediate vicinity. Yester-
days defeat of the Sailors put the Skee-
ters 1874 points ahead Of the Sailors. TIE
Sailors have little chance to win the pen
nant, but it would do them good if they
could help out the Birds and Providence
in overcoming and downing the pest
Newark can scarcely be blamed for
hating to see Jersey City win the pen
nant for second time, and she net shar-
ing in the glory, but in spite of the fact
that Providence took big hand in the
games straight, Jersey City will win out,
unless things that the fans are not let
in on prevent it. The Sailors attributed
their defeat yesterday to their own er-
rors, and Jersey City's good luck. 1t
is the same old excuse of every man
beaten. The Sailors started off by scor-
ing in the first inning. They had the
bases filled during the inning and should
have scored more. Mailing was caught
off third He had been given a pass and
had trotted to second when Olmstead
struck Swander with an inshoot. A Tex
as Lacquer by Gatins filed the bases, but
Mailing was nipped, Jones failing to
hit the ball for squeeze play. Jones
sent the ball past Woods and scored
Swander Then Cockman was given a
pass and the bases were again filled,
but Murphy famed and the light went
out. In the second, Hesterfer. the Sail
ors's slab artist, took trip in a balloon
and allowed three Skeeters to make a
circuit Of the bases. Halligan hit him
for two bases and advanced on Pattee's
bunt to O'Hagan. Pattee reached first
safely. Woods raised fly to Connor
after Vandergrift had walked. The
bases We're again filled when Olmstead
sent a fly to Mailing. Clement hit a
| slow one toward first. but Hesterfer
threw wild to O'Hagan and before the
ball was recaptured three Skeeters had
lit ON the home plate and Clement was
| holding down the second bag. The
Skeeters scored again in the third inning
With two out, Halligan got scratch
hit. went to second on Pattee's single
and scored on Connor's wild throw to
catch him stealing third. It looked as
though the Sailors were going to have
another look in in the fourth. but snappy
fielding on the part of the Skeeters shut
'em out. In the seventh. with two out.
Mahling's error, Merritt's single, which
scored Clement. and Connor's wild throw
to third, gave the Skeeters two more
runs.

Some one started the report that the
recently organized Democratic Club in
the Eleventh Ward was formed for the
purpose Of helping along the candidacy
of John ]. Heavey, the anti-organization
candidate for Sheriff. This has been
denied BY the members, who say it Is
strictly an organization club, and will
stand BY the candidates favored by the
party leaders. Some Of the most in
huential Democratic workers in the Hud-
son City section are among the members
of the organization, which promises to
play an important part in the coming
campaign. While it is rival of the
Fioneer Democratic Club, the two organ
izations will work together for the one
cause-Demoeratic success.

There will be nothing done in the mat
ter of the appointment of a successor
to the late Police Commissioner, Thomas
w. Tilden, until after the outing of the
Samuel D. Dickinson Association. A
well-known Republican SO informed a
Representative of The News The reason
for this is that Mayor Pagan, even
though he intends tosignore the organiza-
ton, does not want it tolappear that he
acted with undue haste. While every
body is speculating as to the probable
appointee, Mayor Pagan is keeping MS
own counsel, and if he has any one in
mind for the place no one has an inkling
as to who he is. A boom was launched
yesterday for James W. Mccarthy, and
it was favorably received. Mr.. Nc
Carthy is a brother of George NJ. Nc
Carthy. He is at the head of the local
branch of the Order of Eagles. and al
though not so we'll known politically as
his brother, he is not lacking IN popular
ity. His friends are urging him as
candidate, who, while friendly with
Mayor Fagan, would not, they say, be
offensive to Col. Dickinson. inasmuch as
he is a consistent organization Republic
can. The impression prevails at the City
Hall that ifsthe appointment goes to the
Mccarthy family, Jim and not
George, will be the one t. get. it.
The Jersey City news., 1905-08-15

Andrew Knox thinks the appointment
ought to go to the Eleventh Ward, and
that he ought to get it.. His candidacy
is not regarded seriously as the friends
of the Mayor realize that to give Knox
the appointment would be inviting
quarrel with the Heiney faction. The
Mayor has enough trouble on his hands
now. He doesn't intend to pile it on if
he can help it.
