CHURCH COURTING
The Rev. Daniel M'Gurk Favors
"SpOOning ParlOrs."

Kansas City, Sept. 81 tell you,
am very much in favor of the church
'spooning parlor.' like those recently
opened in Chicago and ST. Louis"
The Rev. Daniel McGurk made this
statement Sunday in his sermon at
the Grand Avenue Episco-
pal church. He was advocating bet
ter things for the girl who works.
all seriousness" the pastor continued.
"Spooning is divine right. If this
church was so equipped as to make 1t
possible we'd have spooning parlor
right In this church. A girl who has
no place for these things at her lodg-
ing place is seriously handicapped.
Every church should be a rendezvous
for young people"
DR.. McGurk said he visited factor
les last week and found that 81 a day
or $6 week was the average wage
of the working girl.
Every girl has a right to certain
social pastimes," he said. "She has
no chance for it with these means.
Consequently she must meet her
young men friends on the streets and

"Laurels awaits the philanthropist
who would open scent theatre that
would build up moral life as we'll as
to amuse: 1t would be such a boon
for these girls who work.
MANY girls are forced to take their
recreation in cheap theatres or on
the streets merely because the men
who pay their wages are thinking only
of the almighty dollar and OF how
they can get cheap labor.
"The working girl has a right to
the training and equipment that will
enable her to enter the rank of a
skilled worker and increase her pay

The fundamental girl question to-
day is question of saving the work.

member that her character is~her cap-
ital. So in order to save the girl we
must give her Industrial training. Just
because the state provides schools
for girl who would study methema-
tics or the languages is no reason it
should neglect to provide schools that
would teach this other girl how to
earn her living"

1NGERsoLL's SPIRIT
The Widow Of the Agnostic VIII Be.
q gin an Investigation. ts

New York, Sept 3.-That the widow
of the late Colonel Robert G.. Inger-
soil desires to communicate with his
departed spirit and is encouraging the
efforts of mediums to that end was
learned today
Mrs. Ingersoll denied that she has
been converted to spiritualism or has
any opinion on that belief, but she
wished, If possible, to be assured of
the soul Of her husband and express
ed the hope that her wish would be
gratifled.
At the same time she said she
would not allow her desires or SEN
timents to sway her reason and as
serted that she would have to be
convinced by communications cover
ing matters with which she and her
late husband only were acquainted.
This could best be done, she said, by
the imparting of information cover
ing the period between the betrothal
and marriage of herself and the fa-
nous orator, statesman and agnos-
tic.
Mrs. 1ngersoll said she felt the
deepest sympathy with the Spiritual
lists, whom she characterized as kind
ly people. She said their beliefs were
harmless and often gave great COM
fort. She numbered Spiritualists
among her hest friends, she declared,
and said that very close, intimate
of hers was woman medium who
besides her spiritualistc powers, was
wonderfully cultured and refined
woman
Mrs. Ingersol said that in the life
time Of her late husband she and he
made exhaustive inquiries into spirit
ualism. Since his death she has re-
ceived, she said today thousands of
communications from mediums and
spiritualistic believers purporting to
have communication with Mr.. Inger-
soil. She has in all cases, she said.
given these communications her most
careful attention. She said today that
she had yet to be convinced of the
authenticity Of these communications.
Those which deal with alleged ac-
tions of Mr.. Ingersoll in the spirit
world. she said she could not consider,
because they might be imagined by
spectators. Utterances in the style
of her. husband, purporting to have
been made after death through me-
drums, she said, had not impressed
her as genuine.
Mrs. Ingersoll declared her mind is
open to conviction and that she Ia
ready and anxious to establish COM
munication with her husband, but
that she is not prepared to delude
herself with insufficient proofs and
false appearances.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, widely
known as lecturer and for his views
on religion, died July 21, 1899. His
widow was an agnostic even before
her marriage to him, and she SUM-
ported his beliefs during his life.
