THE ONE MAN HOLD UP.

Much has been written, and more
said of the reckless daring OF the man
who held up an entire train, well
equipped with officials and filled with
MESSENGERS. and forced another to
corrv his stolen treasure to a place OF
safe retreat. And it was indeed
display OF courage, if we may dignity
if with such name, rare courage, among
thelchildren of men, and as we read OF
if at safe distance, we wonder that the
daring should result in success.
There must have been other
"puns" among the passengers on that
train. and it is mystery that some OF
them we're not brought into action.
But the Wall street variety OF hold
ups are as mysterious, though not at
tended with the same amount OF per-
sonal danger. Most any fine morn

NONE BUT HE RICH CAN AFFORD

Dpring the recent canvass for noml-
ra-ion the election to follow Judge
Mann spent Sl1, 294.3 30, and Mr.. Tuck
or Sin 500 40. And this means that the
gentlemen spent Sc, S23. 20 in excess OF
the salary as governor for the pryi-
leoe Of seeking a nomination. The
whole affair is atrociously bad. In
nrevious canvass Judge Mann spent
something over $40, 600. so that for the
nrivilege of making $40, 600 he has IN
vested more than the amount Ana
vet his investing days are not over
70, he is still involved in a canvass
in,o which it is said that Messrs.
slemn and Martin will put large sums
of money, while Mr.. Taft will be on
hand to dish out government pap
lavishlv. and with liberal hand.
But few Democrats in Virginia who
are worthy to be governor are worth
sl5 coo oil told, and this perniclous
practice simply shuts the door o.
opportunity to nine-tenths OF the
worthless. The primary is right
in principle, but in practice Wei
ously wrong. Or are we to be
told that honor will buy a
breakfast ?" and a dinner and supper
too ? This is not written in criticism
of the two gentlemen who saw INT to
spend their money, but in emphatic
condemnation of a practice that IS evi
and that continually.

An editorial note calls the As

the vital Importance of its attitude

The organization comprises 700

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July = A-Jor-
dan w. Lambert, millionaire
chemist, and his wife, whom he
believes to be born medium.
shortly will join Prof. Jas. H..
Hyslop, world-noted spook expert,
at Narragansett pier, where the
rich st. Louisian will try to solve
Prof. Hyslop's latest spirit mar
vel.
The professor, who is president
of the American Society of Psychic
Research, has astounded ghost in
vestigators by his discovery.
1t is of plain craftsman who,
being incarnated with the soul of
a dead artist, seized brush and
palette, and struck out master
piece, whereas he never had any
idea of what art was before the
famous painters death. s
The dead artist was r. Swain
Clifford, whose soul, Hyslop says,
now is In the body of Frederick
Thompson, a New York goldsmith.
In st. Louis society this has re-
vived the old question: What is
the strange force that exists in the
Lambert family, which enables
three members of the household to
conjure up spirits at will?"
1t was Prof, Hyslop who first
brought out the power of the Lam
berts when they entertained him
at their summer home. in Rhode
Island.
Jordon w. Lambert, jr., S-year-
old son of the millionaire, and his
caretaker. viii Hannegan. both
are psychics, Mr.. Lambert and
Prof. Hyslop declare.
Have the ghosts conjured up by
Hannegan and the spirit of Artist
Clifford anything in common?
This the expert will try to un-
ravel this summer.
Hannegan has made spirit hands
place fresh roses on the Lam
berts' dining table daily; he has
stretched down through the cell
ing of the room to grasp his.
Mrs. Lambert recently had a
strange vision wherein she saw, a
boy hurt in a Welsh colliery,
though the ocean separated them.
Agents of the research society
yelified the accident to the boy,
and Mrs. Lambert sent the family
of the lad sum OF money to help
them while deprived of his aid.
The boy, j. w. Lambert, jr.,
also has shown evidence that he
possesse powerful psychic control.
Once Hannegan misplaced the
football with which young Lam
bert was playing. The boys
psychic powers located the foot
ball In the Lambert home. His
father believes that the psychic
power of his child is inherited.
Prof. Hyslop. who frequently
has been q guest of the Lamberts
here, wants Mrs. Lambert to help
him solve his latest mystery ot the
spirit world.
r.. Swain Clifford died four
years ago. A half-finished land
scape stood on the easel OF his
Nonquitt. Mass. studio. 1t was
not disturbed.
Suddenly Frederick Thom ps,on.
the untutored goldsmith, was
seized with q wild desire to paint
u Landscapes. He thought he was
going insane. and IN despair
called In Prof. Hyslop, who recoe-
nized at once that he was II the

control.
