THE Columbia Herald opposing the
doctrine OF eternal Hate, among
Democrats Of Missouri, edltorially
says: "The Democratic party In Miss
ouri can hope not to succeed upon the
doctrine OF eternal hate. There are
a half-dozen newspapers in Missouri
.of democratic faith that do not seem
to realize this. II they do not care
less for the success OF the democratic
party than for the opportunity Of
gratifying personal spite. In politics,
as in business, religion and love, men
must forgive and forget. We will
make enough enemies tomorrow
goodness knows, without cherishinl
those we made yesterday. 1t was
dreadful for that young fellow, Joe
Folk, TO get himself elected governor
by prosecuting boodlers in st. Louis.
Of course II was but let's forgive hin
and support the democratic ticket. II
was perfectly scandalous that Sam
Cook should have been placed on the
ticket and that Alex Dockery should
have been endorsed but let's forget all
that and vote the straight ticket fol
democracy. even with the combination
OF Folk and Cook and Dockery and
Reed and Hawes, is infinitely better
than any republican ticket that car
be named. 1t was outrageous Of
course that any democrat should not
want Cockrell or Stone for the senate
but some good democrats could be
found who were thus benighted. But
suppose we forgive them everyone and
Join hands all around for grand de
mocratic march. II any democrat per
sists in the doctrine Of eternal hate
let's charge him OF high treason, court
martial him and sentence him to be
hanged at daybreak without bentit of
clergy.u

SPIRITUALlST is UNMASKED
Woman Makes Quick Dash Into Spook
Cabinet and Captures
Eakinu Medium

Mrs. Elsie Reynolds. a spiritualist
medium, was exposed as fraud yes
terday afternoon at the Grand Pa
cific hotel. When the Reynolds wo-
man was impersonating the dead sister
OF Mrs. Selma Savoy, the woman seized
her spirit sister and trouble ensued.
Having been forewarned, the spirit
ualist prepared for the coming fray.
At her side sat man with a heavy
cane. He guarded the cabinet closely,
but the action of the woman was too
quick for the guard.
AS the police had foreseen, the Reyn-
olds woman and her guard fought their
way into the adjoining room, where
two officers were waiting. A search
of the woman's person was made and
numerous filmy white articles We're
found beneath her dress. These clothes
the medium had used in making up the
various spooks.
1t is understood that the police will
attempt to secure complaints against
the Reynolds woman.

Special to The Herald.

Special TO Ine Herald.
NEW YORK, March 22.-There was a
man at the Barnard college girls
masked ball in Whittier hall; there was
buck among the playful does. This
thrice-happy man is Hampton Lee, a
handsome young fellow from Richmond,
Va, a student at Columbia university.
Red-hot pincers-wild horses-would
not drag a syllable from the chivalrous
Lee of what he saw at the bal masque-
But Mr.. Lees closest friends have
noticed that he has been in joyous,
though silent, mood ever since the ball.
Occasionally he eXclaims, while his eyes
flash and a blush suffuses his face:
"Oh, those Gold-dust Twins! Shall L
ever forget them?"
Curves, curves, nothing but curves
thousands of curves Mr.. Lee ecstatlc-
ally cried yesterday, appropos of moth
ing, seemingly.
Many hundred young but learned
women, students at Barnard and Co
lumbia, live in Whittier hall. The an
nual masked ball is given in the great
assembly room of the hall, the stu
dents invite only their female friends.
But so it happens that Miss Sarah
Ann Delano is a student at Barnard.
On this young woman Miss HutchlnS,
an art student at Columbia, and Hamp-
ton Lee were callers. Naturally they
talked about the masked ball. Natuf-
ally, too, Mr.. Lee fervidly remarked
that he would give ten years of his
life to go.
Then, why don't you go?' asked the
practical Miss Delano. Lots of girls
will try to pass for men and wear
mems evening dress, so all you have TO
do is to wear your evening clothes ana
mask"
Lee jumped at the idea and, wearing
his swalloW-tail his head completely
hidden by a mask, he walked mincingly
past those guardians of innocence, Mrs
Farnsworth and Mother Daniels.
The students, who had exhausted
their ingenuity in devising quaint and
striking costumes, gathered in a DIE
ante-room. The orchestra struck up q
march, the doors of the ante-room were
thrown open and two-and-two the stu
dent maskers entered the hall.
There were milkmaids, shepherdesses
and fairies, Dinahs, Topsies, Queens
of Night. Never before did such an
array OF loveliness pass before the en-
tranced gaze of a single young gentle
man. The guileless young women gave
themselves up to enjoyment
Then louder shout of silVery lauSn-
ter echoed through the hall. The "Golo
Dust Twins" entered. Everybody knows
them by sight. The two merry girls
who personated the helpful pair wore
complete sets of black fleshings ano
ballet dancers skirts. Their faces were
blackened.
Lees hands trembled, the mask fell
chorused Shrek of alarm told him he
was discovered: --------
