"SATAN'S REALM is
BLAZE OF JEWELS"
Chaloner, Beginning Lunacy
Law Reforms, Also De-
scribes Hades.

Besides making public the text OF a
message which, he announced. he had
received from the uttermost depths of
Hades, and opening war on the lunacy
laws of New York state, John Arm
strong Chaloner submitted photographs
yesterday to prove that he looks Ike

spent an exciting Sunday. He was In
Alexandria, where he had invited men,
bers of the press to interview him.
Chaloner. best known to fame because
he is the former husband OF Amelie
Rives, and as fugitive from the
Bloomingdale Insane Asylum Of New
York, gave a graphic account Of his
spiritualistic experiments, and took a
characteristic fiing at his relatives, who
believe him insane. including Sherin
Bob Chaloner, who married Lima Cava-
lieri.
His message from Hades Is, he says,
from an old friend and fellowAclub-
man. who died some years ago., The
message says, "All dead game sports
enjoy II in hell" and that he did not

band of Amelia Rives, the novelist. Il
picked up a copy of an English Illus

on the Titanic. The statement, while
essentially puerile, attracted my atten-
ton because the late Prof William
James had Informed me at one time
that l was a medium. although. do not

The description of the throne room of
his Satanic majesty. which is cno-

one of the most interesting thrills fur
ished to Chaloner by his deceased
friend. :
1t follows:
"A fiery throne. Upon said throne sits

SKIRTS WHICH ARE
SKIRTS DEMANDED :
BY WESTERN WOMEN
More Skirts, Longer Skirts,
Fuller Skirts, and Higher
Bodices Are Favored.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Longer and wider
skirts, with the waist cut SO that the
bosom is not exposed. Is the remedy for
the wide criticism showered on women's
attire. While the skirt should not be
long enough to strike the sidewalk, II
should be long enough to conceal the
ankles. This Is the view Of Chicago
women, who have given the subject
study.
Miss Mary F. Balcomb, president Of
the Young Peoples Civic League,
favors the longer skirt and the higher
cut bodice.
Foolish Mode of Dress.
THE big cry Of annoyance on the
street and public places, from men,
which girls are now making, Is largely
due to their foolish mode OF dress and
manner" she said.
Year by year and month by month
the garb of women has been growing
shorter and tighter. Now big woman
looks awful in the present style. Only
the dumping girl can wear the costume,
and her figure is so accentuated that
comment and annoyance follows
THE skirt should be long enough to
cover the ankles and be at least one
third fuller about the hips. Many
skirts are now above high shoe tops.
and when the wearer sits down In pub
lie the tight mode forces the skirt
many inches higher"
Men Condemn Washers.
The Civic League has sent this reso-
luton to the chief Of police:
Clean men constantly and emphat-
ically condemn, by word and act. men
who speak Of girls and women. or treat
them in such manner as they would
not tolerate from any mar. toward their
own sister. sweetheart, wife, or mother.
That men and women alike insist
upon a decent standard of dress among
girls and Notwithstanding, charming,
girl or woman who is a true, Thought
full, lady will dress suggestively."
