a clever man of affairs, to advise the
young man in his difficulties. Prince
Alexander accordingly helped Dom Miguel
to obtain from a Bohemian bank a loan
Of 100000 or more, becoming answerable
for the amount
1t was generally understood by Dom
MiSuel's relatives that his debts would
be settled in full by his mothcr-in-law,
Mrs. James Henry Smith, Immediately
after his marriage But when she realized
that he had been compelled 10 sacrifice
daughter she declined to contribute more
than 100000 toward the liquidation OF his
liabilities. Some $4,000 of this he paid the
Bohemian bank on account Prince
Alexander of Thurn-and-Taxis was called
upon TO make good his guarantee. Hard
hit by the failure OF the Siberian gold
mining venture. which moreover had put
him in the bad graces of his royal and inn
perial fellow shareholders, Prince Alex
ander secured Austrian judgments against
Dom Miguel for the $4,000 in question,
pleading that he had been Intentionally
misled by the young Braganza
1t is in connection with this imputa-
ton OF fraud that, not satisfied with
seeking enforcement of these judgments
by the English tribunals, Prince Alex
ander has also invoked the assistance OF
the London police. His application has
been without avail since the police have
been advised to take no part In the mat
ter until the question of fraud has been
settled by the civil courts.

RUSH ORDERS IN GHOSTS
The Tomsons, Of London, Show
"FuIl Form Naturalization"
MEDIUM ON THE INSIDE
Believers Who Know the Rules
Realize Manifestation Is
g. Husk.

Under the direction Of the Rev. DR..
Richard r. Schluesner. pastor Of the
New York Temple Of Modern Spiritual
ism, Inc, In East 9th street, an "Ameri-
can debut" was presented at the temple
last night
After a somewhat conservative intro
duction by Dr. Schluesner, in which he
described the main performers OF the
evening as about the greatest people in
the business, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
Tomson, of London. took the platform
and modestly admitted that they were all
that the doctor had said about them.
Mr.. Tomson said he and his wife had
submitted to the severest tests the hui
man mind could devise and had come
out Of them all with honors. He polished
up this part OF his discourse by telling
how easily he had convinced such celeb
rites as Sir william Crookes. Sir oliver
Lodge and the late william r. Stead
that he was a dandy psychometrist.
But the real purpose OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Tomsons seance last night was full
form naturalization" or particular
form of IT, called by them "transfigura-
ton personation."
You must not consider It a trick,
said Mr.. Tomson, If the manifestation
takes place upon the body OF the medium
herself The manifestation Is only a
husk, and Il doesn't make any difference
%
The true believers did not care where
the medium was. inside or outside. as
long as they saw some ghosts. Mrs.
Tomson was to do this part. First a
committee OF six women was chosen TO
retire with her and see that she did not
have anything more about her than her
skin. They then put on coat and dress
and pair OF slippers, and that was all.
They led her back and she took her seat
in the middle Of the black cloth cabinet
in the centre OF the stage. The curtains
were allowed to fall before her and the
lights were turned out. II was on
God bless you all, and how de do,
said a gruff voice that could not have
been Mrs Tomsons voice, no. never.
Somebody began to play tune on the
organ The curtains drew back and a
white figure appeared within, a fllmy.
white figure. like a bride who never had
enough TO eat 1t did not look like any
body in particular, and nobody said It
did. Neither did anybody doubt that Mrs
Tomson was inside the white figure. Her
husband himself had said that was ac-
cordiug to the rules OF the game as they
played II. so there.
The curtains fell, and Mrs Tomson
staggered out Of the cabinet looking fran
tic and frightened and breathing hard. II
was all over
Poor thing" said a woman.
Well, what OF IT." said the men, try
Ing TO get the point.
What OF It? Well. that's full form
naturalization; that's what OF It,"
