REAL SP0OK VALUED AT S1OO
Spokane Clergyman Offers Cash for
Spirits Presence in Speech
of Defiance

Special to The Herald.
SPOKANE, Wash, April 1S.-Dr.
Henry A. Rasmus, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church of this
city, has offered $100 to any spiritualist
who will produce a real. genuine, up
to-date spook. The spiritualists and
clergy of the city are in a hot discus
sion over the assertions of the spirit
ualists that spirits visit Spokane.
Each side is engaged in a great deal
OF ridicule, and each side is quoting
the Bible as proof positive of its as
sertions.
81 defy any spiritual medium on
earth to bring to life any disembodied
spirit, where the environment has not
been arranged and mental atmosphere
created for this purpose, and l Will
give $10O to any one who does it."
This defiance was hurled at the
spiritualists by DR. Rasmus In an
hours address at the Central Chris
tian church. Continuing, the doctor
said:
"To come down to modern spiritual
ism there is no phenomena connected
with 1t that cannot be explained by
psychology or trickery. Fully 80 per
cent of the craft is mere trickery and
deception. There is something in the
psychological law; scientists realize
this and have demonstrated 1t. Its
branches are mesmerism, hypnotism,
mind reading and clairvoyance. BY
these psychological processes the mind
can be deluded into believing a great
many things. Men used to believe in
witchcraft. just as they now believe
in spiritualism."

100000 TO RESTORE ARM
New York Man Suffering One OPP
Grafton, With Another in Pros

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-william J..
Burlee, president of the Burlee Dry
Dock company of Port Richmond, S.
l.. has offered to pay 100000 to any
surgeon who can restore him the use
of his right arm, which was severely
fractured by a fall from his horse on
his Virginia plantation several weeks
ago.
One operation on the arm has been
performed and another probaly will
be necessary, but the attending sur
geons fear that the nature of the in
jury will deprive Mr.. Burlee of the
use of the limb for the remainder
of his life.
After receiving treatment in Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Burlee came north and con-
suited Prof. Stimson of Cornell uni
versity, who advised that the fracture
be broken and reset. This was done
in st. Vincent's hospital, West New
Brighton, where Mr.. Burlee is a pa
tient, but the broken parts did not
knit satisfactorily and complications
were threatened. Mr.. Burlee protest.
ed against a second operation, but
consented when told that otherwise
he might lose his arm. Thus apprised
of the seriousness of his condition, he
made the 100000 Offer but it is con-
sidered not likely that he will be called
upon to pay.

HAVE A FREMzIED MARRIAGE
Chance Acquaintance and Courtshlp
of Four Hours, Then Wedding,
Is a Colorado Episode
SnecLal tn The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
| PUEBLO, Colo, April 1S.-A secret
marriage, following a chance ac-
quaintance on board a Colorado &
Southern flyer and a courtship of four
! hours that progressed as fast as the
train was moving, came to light last
evening, when William S. O'Brien, a
civil engineer of this city, announced
that he and Miss Myra Buffers were
enmeshed in cupid's net August 2 last.
Pater Buffers was terribly indignant
end threatened to kill O'Brien on the
spot when he was told his daughter
was matron.
OBrien and Miss Buffers were pas
sengers in the same coach on Col
orado & Southern train running from
Denver to Pueblo August 2, 1905. They
occupied seats. The sultry weather
made Miss Buffers i'll and she tried
to raise the window near her seat. The
thing would not bulge. O'Brien
asked to be allowed to assist her. The
window was finally raised and the
young people soon became well ac-
quainted.
1t was a case of love at first sight.
BY the time Colorado Springs was
reached O'Brien was ready to pro-
pose, which he did before the train
passed through the yards at that
place. Miss Buttera accepted.
Upon reaching Pueblo OBrien mas
tily secured a marriage license, and
with Miss Buffers, drove to the First
Methodist Episcopal church, where
they were married by Rev. S. Fl. Kirk
bridge.
Miss Buffers, or Mrs. OBrien. then
went on a visit to Cleveland, o., her
husband accompanying her. In the
Buckeye city they experienced much
trouble III keeping their true relation
chip from relatives of the bride.
The visit over Mr.. and Mrs. O'Brien
returned to Pueblo. The bride went
to live with her parents for the time
being. O'Brien called frequently. but
the task of lodging inquisitive friends
of both himself and wife finally be-
came too difficult, so the secret mar
riage was publicly announced.

WAY THEY HAVE IN THE ARMY
No Pullman Provided for an lrate
Officer, but He Gets One
With Bayonets
Special to The Herald.

KANSAS CITY, April 1S.-An argu-
ment arose yesterday morning at the
union depot between Captain William
T. Littlebrant of the United States
Twelfth cavalry and his 131 soldiers on
the one side and the crowd of pilots,
switchmen and depot employees on the
other. Before it was settled Captain
ployes to move three cars in which his
soldiers were quartered and threatened
to wire the war department.
The army captain and his soldiers
were on their way to San Francisco
from jefferson barracks and arrived
late at the union depot over the Mis-
souri, Pacific. They were to have been
transferred to the Santa Fe and sent
on west, but because of a delay in
reaching Kansas City missed connec-
tions and had to wait here nearly
twelve hours.
This left the army captain in no
amiable frame of mind and when he
was told that there was no Pullman
ready for the accommodation of him
self and his staff, his irritation in
creased. He was told that he would
have to seek accommodations in a
hotel.
"What, leave my soldiers alone and
without discipline in these three tourist
cars" exclaimed the captain. Never;
I'll wire the war department and see If
I cannot have a Pullman attached to
the soldiers cars or know the reason"
The threatened telegraphic commu-
nication with the war department had
it's effect upon the courage of the rail-
road employees and they sought terms
of capitulation.
'We'll have to switch these tourist
cars" said a pilot.
Not unless you run them through
line of fixed bayonets," replied the
army captain.
would you fire on us?" meekly
asked a switchman.
NO" replied the captain; "but you'll
not move those soldier cars unless you
give me and my staff a car so that
we may go with them"
Here was a chance to make terms.
A Pullman car for the accommodation
of the captain and his staff was 'kicked
in" at the rear of the soldier cars,
the four cars switched to the yards and
the captains anger was appeased. The
soldiers left for California yesterday
at noon.

LIES TO SAVE CHILD SHAME
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 1s.-There was
a dramatic scene in Judge Taylor's
court today when his honor, in pur-
suance of duty, relentlessly unmasked
a black-garbed wife seeking divorce
on the grounds of cruelty and drunken
ness, and revealed her as one of Mrs.
Warren's Profession" And the scene
was not without an element of pathos.
The woman confessed to the judge in
the end that she had lied under oath,
deliberately and repeatedly, to hide her
own real self from her own child, now
a child of IS, reared in convent in the
firm belief that her mother was all
that every mother should be.
Mrs. Florence Knecht, the woman,
said she was married to Samuel Knecht
in 1898 at Waterloo, Ill. She said he
drank to excess, mistreated her and
deserted her after three weeks. Her
case seemed strong until Judge Taylor
cross-examined her. Then, after fore
ing admissions of her mode of life from
her, he dismissed the case.

NEW YORK, April 1S.--John Hal
loran of "a Central avenue, Jersey City
advertised for wife several days ago
and last night he was invited to be the
guest OF honor of the ladies of the Star
of Union lodge, Shepherds of Bethle-
hem, at their regular monthly meeting
at Union Hill. He is worth 100000.
The shepherds are really Shepherd
esses, many of them with shepherds of
their own. The Star of Union lodge
numbers fifty fair danes and damsels.
success, the Star of Union lodge unset
fishly extended an invitation to their
sisters of the Whispering Stars of Wee
hawken, the Twin Stars of Grantwood,
the Rising Suns of Hackensack and the
Falling Stars from across the Meadows.
In all there were 200 shepherdesses to
greet the lonely old bachelor.
1t might have been a joke with the
Shepherdesses, but 1t was serious bust
ness with John Halloran. He knew
that once he had met his affinity, the
divine spark would announce itself, and
way down in his heart he was grateful
to the Shepherdsesses for their kind in
vitation of inspection. He brushed up
his pea-jacket, and his Fedora nat,
which he bought when Grantwood was
barren acres.
The wife seeking bachelor arrived at
9 o'clock He walked into the middle
of the lodge room and gazed at the
galaxy. 1t took his breath away. He
fled toward the door, covering his face
with his Fedora hat But he didn't get
to the door. He was corralled by a
circle of twinllling stars, and seated in
a chair. They told him to be calm and
make himself at home. John crossed
first one leg and then the other, and
finally gasped:
"Well, / swami"
John never before heard such peal
OF silvery laughter.
"And ali you women folks want to
get married? Well, L swami" repeated
the bachelor when he found his voice
again.
Now one of the features of the meet
ing of the Shepherdesses is that they
eat their own cooking. Every soul,
whether she was dame or damsel,
asked John Halloran to try some of her
cake, her bread, her ice cream or her
pudding. The bachelor acquitted HIM
self nobly, they all voted. When break
ing-up time came they asked him if he
had made his choice.
Ladies'" said the bachelor. Il never
dreamed there were so many charming
lonesome women folks in the world. L
am overcome in the confusion of my
admiration. 1 must go home and sleep
over it"
