been thinking, and In view of the ex-
traordinary campaign he made and
OF the enormous resources In money
and his unparalleled opportunity to
spread his propaganda espe-
cially In view of his temperament,
and his ambition, II is deemed absurd
to predict that he has been finished
as a political leader by the election
in New York. He may cut all alliance
with the democracy, and probably
will. He has nothing to lose and
everything To gain by that, from the
personal point OF view. There is no

unquestionably spoke what was in
his mind when he said that Mr..
Hearst had shown wonderful
strength and such strength that
would make him a factor in the
presidential election, either as a can

chances of the candidate.
District Attorney Jerome without
the knowledge of the opinion OF Mr.

the opinion that It is but the begin

as a powerful factor, and that he
will have to be reckoned with in the

landed at Charleston some days ago,
and they We're quickly picked up by
planters, manufacturers and others

federal commissioner of immigra-

that immigrant women taken as

Police Commissioner O'Meara, of

children of that city from stealing
rides, practice always attended with
hazard. He finds, however, that ex-
cept on street cars the police have

communication to Mayor Fitzgerald

There is complaint that Mr.. Hearst
Is running away, as they call It, that
he is going to spend time in Cali
fornia and then the winter months
in Europe. but It may be that this is
no more than part of plan he has
mapped out which has presidential
politics in view. Mr.. Hearst may be
dismayed by the result of the cleo

reflect that he made a serious mis-
take In permitting his newspapers to
assail with violent personal denunci-
alton every one who was opposed to
him, descending at times to the re-
partee of Binllingsgate. That anger
ed many democrats and the friends
of many democrats, and it was un-
necessary kind OF campaigning.

After the colored girl cooled down
a little, what was called season of

Prayed for Tongues.
Mr. Ryan took charge of the meet
ing and score of followers many of
them old men with the whiskers of
a Mormon bishop knelt down at the
altar and all began to pray out loud
for the gift Of tongues. They pray
ed as loud as did the priests of
Baal, when defied by the Prophet
Elijah. Occasionally one would get
the gift, but he would keep right on
praying for his neighbor and even in
Ia louder toue than before.
At this iuncture nearly everyone
in the room was weeping. 1t tried
the nerves of the coolest and the
strongest. The negro woman was
worked IN to white heat of fren-
zied wrath. She went from mourner
to mourner and placed her hands on
their heads and in wild and strange
way, seeming 10 possess some kind
of mesmeric and hypnotice influence
she would call down the gift of
tongues She first worked on Rev
Mr., Shipley. who has long preached
at the mission. Then she tackled
Rev. Mr.. Smith, of Dallas. He
prayed long, loud and faithfully for
the gift of languages. but at last ac-
counts he was still talking in United
States dialects and doing his pray
ing in Polk county lingo.
The mystery of all this is some
thing wonderful. Anyone can see
these people mean this. They are
not takers.
These two women from Los An
geles are too ignorant and illiterate
to put up a job OF any kind. When
the negress speaks, her face shines
like new money. Her countenance
is transfigured, so TO speak. She
could not put that on. The white
woman is too fat to get enthused,
but she looked happy. Well authen-

from disease are recorded. Its a
great psychological problem. What

SENSELESS FANATICS
SPEAK IN A JARGON
Tangled TOnguers Arrive from California and Pen
taCostal Mission People Worked Into Frenzy of Re-
lgiOus txcitement--No Color Line Is Drawn

Two of the vanguard of the
Tongues of Fire" the weird and
strange new band of religious fana-
tics that have thrown Los Angeles
and other California cities into n
frenzy of excitement, have arrived in
Salem and are preaching in
tongues" singing in unknown
words and music, healing the sick.
curing the halt and lame and cast
ing out devils at the Pentacostal
mission on Twelfth street.
They held their first meeting last
night 1t was a hot time. Rev. M.
B. Ryan, the leader of the mission
has been preparing for the coming
of the workers and he claims to have
received the gift of tongues and the
power to cast out devils. At any
rate he goes over some jargon every
night that he says is the Holy Ghost
speaking through him in an African
tongue.
Last night at one stage of the
game, twenty people were loudly
speaking in as many different kinds
of gibberish and all in different
keys. The effect on ignorant and
hysterical women can better be
imagined than described.
Both Are Women.
The two workers who arrived last
night are women. There is no dan
ger of the Tangled Tonguers" vio-
lating either the letter or the spirit
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments TO the constitution. and the
color line Is not drawn. The leader,
the more intelligent, or rather the
less illiterate of the two women is. a
rather pleasant faced mulatto. She
has three specialties, singing, preach
ing in unknown tongues and bestow-
ing the power of the Holy Ghost by
laying on of hands. She claims
that until short time ago, she was
unable to sing a word and could
neither read nor write. Now she
says that she is given power to speak
in every tongue on earth. can sing
songs that she never heard words or
tune to and can write in many lam
guages.
She made her debut in Salem by,
singing a wild, wierd, fantastic song,
in a clear and soft voice, possessing
the melody and strange creepy, wild
rythmic cadence, common to the
ignorant and uncouth people of her
race. She said she had never heard
tune or words before and that Jesus
was singing out of her mouth. The
melody was one common In the negro
settlements in the rural districts of
the southern states and the words
were not so intricate but she could
have composed them as she sang. |
They were almost senseless and had
little rhyme or reason.

| Ahh WIZ
There is a strange, fascination In
the wild and wierd melody OF a ne
gro singing religious songs and her
frenzied audience caught this and in
few moments were worked up "a
a hysterical height of frenzy. Women
were weeping, wailing and sobbing
as If their hearts would break; chill
dren were crying; old men with
whiskers and patriarchial boards
threw themselves PROSTATE before
the mulatto girl and begged for her
blessing. A
Rev. NJ. b. Ryan was the first set
speaker. He is somewhat eloquent
and he grows intensely enthusiastic.
He spoke in a dialect that was new
and different from anything ever
heard in Salem. Strange TO say the
number OF syllables in the lingo and
in the English translation are the
same; something before unknown
IN languages.
The white woman is the oldest
and biggest. She has little TO say
and says 1t poorly. She II unletter-
ell and when the spirit gave her pow
er 10 the gift OF all languages, he
must have been shy on English; for
There are maids as fair as she,
Whose verbs and nouns do more
agree"
The cOlored girl told the history
OF the movement in Los Angeles and
said the gift FIRST came 10 the col
ored people. They wrestled with
the Lord for six months and the
Holy Ghost would not come. Then
they heard OF great work being done
east OF there and they raised money
and sent for
A Big Nigger from Texas
ho came and baptised them all With
the gift OF tongues and with FIRE.
The colored girl then told OF her
experience. She said she asked the
Lord 20 give her a parable tbAti
would be easy for her 10 understand.
She said the following conversation
