Is sPIRIrUALJ5M FRAUD2

4 remarkable challenge has just been made
to all who believe in spirituallsm as procticed
at sGnces-whethor in spirit forms, paints
try, spirit writing, te,epathy, clairvoyance,
or the visions OF trance mediums. 4 well
known investigator, Mr.. William Marriott,
now comes forwa d to prove his opinion that
every s6luce at which such phenomena occur
is simply an exaggerated conjurin8 entertain
ment.
MIR. zIarriot declares that Of twenty-one
mediums with wuom he has sat IL has
prove! twenty to he fraudulent And he
at1irms tn he is able to produce 10y physi-
cal or natural means all the effects Of tAe
spiritualists.
He issues a challenge to such distinguish
ed Investigators as Sin William Crookes, Sir
Oliver Lodge, and Professor Alfred Russell
Wallace who. with others, have lent Their re-
pututIous to the turtherance of spiritualistic
beliefs. Can they produce evidence Of gen
uine phenomena, and will they or any one
else allow Nj. Marriott to investigate sean
ces which in their Judgment are above sus-
picion?
He points out that many people who 80 to
seauces have suffered recent bereavement.
They are attracted by the chance of commu-
|nicating with departed friends, And it is
on THOR emotions and affections that the me-
drums trade.
At one s6anco Mr.. Marriott ctught a bogus
spirit in his arms while IL friend turned on a
strong light-reyealing a medium dressed in
flmy robes. At another, a ghost who whis-
tied without moving his lips was found to
have an accoInplice who whistled for him.

of the day when he would occupy
his handsome residence on South

After a while the clock struck

all was still again.
A dog howled; he howled again:

and he turned over: hiding his
head beneath the covers. (The
howl of dog is a fearsome thing

The dog howled again, CRYING
pitifully, as though exhausted from
a long race.
There was a splash as of water.

The Attorney sat up, wide awake

Water splashed, and the dog

Seeing, with his minds eye.
exactly what had happened, the
Attorney struck the floor and
reached for his pantaloons.
That COMPOUNDED cook went

conclusion.
Fear for the watery death of a
dearly beloved bird hunter lent
speed to his feet. and in a twink

and reaching down to pull the dog
out.
But, alas, the water was too far
away for human arms to reach.
Remember this was Berryville in a
dry time, and cisterns were being
used extensively by rich and poor

old basket, lying nearby, was tied
10 the free end of the rope and
lowered away.
The dog, wise in his danger,
climbed into the basket and was
carefully raised to the top. but
just as the hand reached out to
grasp the canine, the basket slipped
loose from the rope and tumbled
back.
The basket gone, the bucket
was lowered, but each time the
the dog climbed into the bucket
it tilted over and spilled him out.
The dog, apparently realizing
that he was nearing his end, con
tinued crying, as though to urge
speed in his rescue.
A light ladder was quickly found
and lowered into the cistern.
The dog swan up to it, laid his
lower body upon one rung and
hooked his neck over the one
