Her First Pay Seance Fails TO Convince
the sceptics.
Eusapia Paladino gave the first OF her
pay seances last night in room S2S in the
Lincoln Square Theatre building. There
we're thirteen persons present besides
the medium. She started calling John.
the pirate spook. at $50 O'Clock. IL was
1880 this morning when the seance was
over and the exhausted Paladino sank
back in her chair while those who had
gathered began to tell one another what
they thought OF her.
s. s. Mcclure, the magazine publisher,
was among those present. There. were
two doctors-Dr. Saram Ellison and DR..
Bosworth, representing Kellar. the ma
gician. There were five women, OF whom
Mrs. Darlington. the wife OF Eusapia's o man
ager was one. and Miss Allen. the stenogra-
pher, another. The doctors representing
Kellsr didn't seem particularly impressed
One man, who asked that his name be with
held, said that while IL was interesting
for a time really he would not care to
attend a second seance.
Il couldn't understand some OF the
things that were done. l could see no

said. Il was surprised when l was struck
violently in the breast. especially as men
asserted that they were holding her hands
all the time. Then ono OF the women
was struck over the head with a tam

Paladino. do not believe in spirits. and
as this seance seemed faky OF course 1t
does not convince me.
Il will admit that queer sort OF feeling
came over me when I saw a small cleo
trio light against the curtain. but that
probably was because everybody else
in the room was so worked up that i
might have been influenced myself.
The Paladino when calling upon John
spoke very much as one does when en-
couraging a dog to do a trick. In fact
all the persons who were assisting her
spoke in the same way"
Across the hall from the room where
the seance took place is the studio Of
Prof Shields -Aslachen, +. II. g., president
Of the Society for Philosophical Quiszical
Research. The professor rpent a good
part Of the three hours OF the seance walk
ing up and down the hall IN pursuit Of
quizzical knowledge. Somebody asked
him what he was going to do when the
building was closed and he was left alone
on the third floor.
Damn the spirits said the professor.

DISPUTED BALLOTS BURNED.
Gary. Ind, May Have 20 Hold Another
Municipal Election.

GARY. Ind, Nov. 16.-The fling OF a
petition for a recount Of the votes cast
at the recent city election developed the
fact to-day that all the ballots. including
disputed ones. had been burned.
The election followed a primary which
was so bitter that the Governor had a
company OF militia ready to come here
to keep order.
The burning OF the disputed ballots,
which is contrary to law, will invalidate
the election, IL ts thought, and make an
other necessary.
The Democrats elected the Mayor and
Clerk, but by majorities so small and with
so many ballots thrown out that recount
might have changed the result.
