PSYCHICAL RESEARCH
SHOWS UP MEDIUMS
DOINGS AT LILY DALE ARE
BRANDED FRAUD
Slate Writing, spook Photography and
Trumpet Manifestations Exposed
by Professor Hyslop and
Associate

The world-famed spiritualist camp of
Lily Dale, New York, has received the
attention of the American Society OF
Psychical Research in the quarterly
proceedings just pupllshed. Inc Irauas
perpetrated in the name OF religion
during the summer season at the camp
are laid bare in all their hideousness
and the bogus mediums who nave
grown rich on the dollars of the guilt
BILE are named and their careers pic
tured in their true colors.
Year after year Lily Dale has become
more and more the Mecca of a large
number of rich Spiritualists. The
amount of revenue that the mediums
have taken in can by no means be
measured by the geographical insig-
nificance of the place. 1t is village
about sixty miles south of Buffalo. 1t
is made up of railroad station, rev
hotels some farmhouSeS and the AS
semply grounds" These grounds are
the sacred stronghold. They spread
over ten acres and on them are the
hotel of the assembly, library build
ing, several smaller halls, a large au-
ditorium seating about 1000 persons,
and a number of cottages. In this au-
ditorium lectures in the season are de-
livered twice a day. 1t is in the cot
tages that the mediums give seances
and sittings. They do not discriminate.
Any one who calls and has the cash
can get his moneys worth. But as
business is lively at Lily Dale, 1t is
usually necessary to make arrange
ments in advance.
Not Attacking SpirituaIists
So widely had the fame of Lily Dale
been heralded that Prof. Hyslop de-
termined to have a thorough and sys-
tematic investigation made to find out
precisely what the alleged phenomena
were. AT a meeting of the council of
the American Society for Psychical Re-
search it was agreed upon to send
Prof Hyslop's associate, DIR. Hereward
Darlington, to do the investigating. In
scientific circles DR.. Darlington is ac-
counted a very able man. Some years
ago he wrote voluminous work on the
physical phenomena Of spiritualism,
both genuine and fraudulent and he
has written other important works on
the same and kindred subjects. He is
also a member of the English Society
for Psychical Research.
II wish to say at the outset" said
Professor Hyslop, that Mr.. CARING
ton was not sent there with any motive
of making an attack on either that or
ganization or it's creed, and that am
not now taking up the cudgels against
the system which believers in spiritual
ism accept Such places simply invite
investigation by the very claims they
make.
This investigation offers an oppor-
tunity to say some things which would
not be provoked by the ordinary drift
of human discussion, and especially at
this time. What / wish to emphasize,
however, is that the exposure o. things
at Lily Dale is not a gratuitous assault

or all the members or the citrus 1afn-
lily the sweet orange with it's frag-
rance and delicious flavor stands un-
doubtedly first, and many thanks are
due to those dashing Spanish con-
questadores who brought with them the
seeds and plants to make glad the gar
den land in the New World. All along
the route of the Spanish in Florida,
Louisiana and Texas sprang up orange
trees. with their golden spheres taking
so kindly to their new environment
that many have declared the wild or
bitter orange indigenous to the gulf
regions.
1t was the good Spanish fathers who
gave the fruit its start in Arizona and
California, and though they have slept
these many years in unmarked graves,
the fragrance of blossoming orange
groves annually bears witness to their
far-sighted introduction of one of our
most successful industries. Last year
the chamber of commerce of Riverside,
Cal, started a movement to establish
March / as national orange day, with
the suggestion that every person in
the United States should eat one or
more oranges as a help to the American
orange growing industry. The promo

The Sour Seville Orange
While the Seville or wild sour orange
is recognized by many housekeepers as
better than the sweet oranges for MAX
ing marmalade where one desires
little bitter tang, it is not so well
known that it is also excellent for
breakfast fruit, eaten like grape fruit.
1t is especially good in the spring and
is said to rank with the lemon in kill
ing typhoid germs. To serve it for
breakfast cut in halves, take out the
center, pit and seeds, drop in lump
of sugar and let stand two or three
hours before serving. 1t must be at
it's ripest The aromatic juice of the
Seville orange is better to serve with
Russian tea than lemon and it is an
excellent substitute for vinegar or
lemon juice in salad dressings. For
summer drinks it is equal to lime juice,
and it is a fact, though not generally
known, that our own sour southern
oranges are shipped in great quantities
to the other side to be made up in the
Scotch and English marmalades.

Press the juice from number of

Orange Syrup
While oranges are so cheap and
abundant 1t is a good plan to nut up
plenty of the juice for the thirsty DAYS

A Florida method of keeping oranges
we'll into the summer is to fill box
with clear, dry sand, set in a cool, dark
place and bury the oranges in 1t, taking
care that they do not touch one another.
If the box Is kept free from dampness
the fruit will appear as fresh and good
in August as when freshly gathered.
Orange Extract
This is nice and easily made. Cut the
thinly peeled rinds of three bitter or
anges into shreds, pack them in a bot
tie, crowding them down; then pour in
a pint of brandy or whisky and cork
tightly. Shake the bottle frequently
during the next month, when the ex-
tract will be ready for use and will keep

A new wrinkle at afternoon teas is
the service of crackers or waters spread

the flavor and juice of the fruit to pene-
trate the cracker and soften 1t slightly.

TurkeY,s New Railroad.

While Turkey is in the throes Of political convulsions it may be well to recall the fact tlSat she also is getting In condition to make material ad- yancement. One of the most impor- tant contributions to the facilities which promise well for the future is the Bagdad railroad, which penetrates a section that offers great induce ments for trade The line will be 525 miles long and will open up an i'm mense area, touching many prominent points in that quarter, and among other places making Damascus and Mecca much easier of access. Amer ican Consul Harris, writing from Smyrna, gives interesting particulars about the road and in conclusion says: The difficult parts of the undertaking will be oyer after the Euphrates Is crossed. It is estimated that the Sl miles of tunnel, yiaducts and bridges will average from s155,000 to $lS5,0O0 per mile. This heavy expense will be compensated by the relatively low cost of the level parts. The build ing of these four sections must be done in seven years. The cost of the 525 miles of railway will amount to about s45,OO0,0O0. The Bagdad rail way will help the commercial, indus trial and agricultural development or the immense territories through which 1t will run, and will furnish outlets for the mineral wealth of the regions traversed." The road is built by for eign capital, of course, and will be under foreign management. But it means a great deal in the way of i'm proving the advantages of Turkey, and should open the way to the traders of the nations, including the United States.

Various proposals are being made for the celebration of the Lincoln cen tenary. Lincoln and Darwin were born on the same day. and both in England and in this country the sug gestion has been made of an interna- tional observance of the birthday Some visible memorial will, no doubt, be erected to Lincoln in Washington, and it has been proposed to construct centennial highway from Washing ton to Gettysburg. Whatever the out ward and visible observances may be, there is one manifestation of interest which the individual may make to him. self in private; he may read the writ ten works of the two great men who were born on February 12, 1909. and discover the ideas that keep those men alive.

TRAVEL SHOWS PROSPERITY.
All Steamers Leaving New York Have
 Larger Lists Than Last Year.

New York, Sept. 12.-There was no reflection of the so-called hard times in the tourist travel from this port this summer.
 Figures compiled up to last Saturday show that nearly 77,000 persons went out in the first cabins of the liners for England and the Continent. All the steamships now departing have larger lists than at the same time last year, which will swell the total so that It will fall but little behind last season, which was the top-notch year In the passenger traffic.
 There has been a decrease of about 1900 persons from last year, the exact figure up to last Saturday being 76,92S first cabin passengers, as against 19,- 44S for 1907, the highest travel ever recorded

Stauuerinu Losses by Fire.

The totals of fire loss in this coun- try may signify little to the average mind, but the comparative figures should mean much. The figures is sued by the national board of fire un- derwriters show that the average fire loss per capita in the United States for the last five years was s3.02, against 33 cents for six European countries, including France. Germany and Austria It may be objected per haps that it is unfair to select this particular period for purposes of com parison, since both the Baltimore fire of 1904 and the San Francisco fire of 1906 are included in it. And yet, says the New York Globe, if these two fires, representing about $350, 100000, were deducted from the total fire loss of the country for the five years-which is es- timated at $1,257, ,955-the total would be reduced by but little over a fourth. And the American per capita loss would remain about 612 times larger than the European What is to blame for this great disparity? Are we so much more careless than Europeans? Are European building codes, fire departments and water sup plies from 6la to 10 times better than those found in the United States?

Some of these warmers are secret agents of automobile associa- tions, paid to give the warning, but others are merely specimens of chronic opposition; they take pleasure in beating anybody, even a jealous town constable.
