Around the Horn.

Philadelphia.-Thet hreemasted full
rugged ship Aryan. the last wooden
ship Of her type to be constructed In
this country, and one of the few at
present under the American flag, has
arrived here from Fort Blakely,
Wash, after a thrilling voyage OF 100
DAYS, in which she rounded Cape Horn.
The vessels arrival recalled the glori-
Gus days of the clipper ship, when the
fearless American skipper and his
crews made the stars and stripes su-
preme on the seven seas.
More than ordinary interest was at
tached to the vessels arrival because
of these features and because she
carried a cargo of 100000 feet OF
Oregon pine, the first to be received
here in Is years. The timber, some oil
1t 80 feet in length and nearly two
feet square, was packed solidly aboard
the ship. Nearly 100000 feet OF II was
stacked on the deck.

Two winters and three summers were
met on the voyage, with four hurri

NEWS FROM STEAD
Daughter of Dead Journalist Re-
ceiveS Another Message
"some Are Quiet Spirits, Some Are
Impetuous Like Myself" Say Vic
tim of Titanic Dlsaster-com-
munlcation Is Not Easy.

London.-"Those are together who
think together. Some are quiet spirits.
some are impetuous like myself"
This was one of the messages"
from the late w. T. Stead, which his
daughter, Miss Estelle w. Stead, de-
livered to a crowded gathering OF the
London Spiritualistic alliance in the
salon of the Royal Society of British
America
Miss Stead, who explained that she
was neither a lecturer nor a public
speaker, made a very promising debut
in both capacities. In proclaiming
what spiritualism means to me
she said the one fact that stood out
clearly was individual responsibility
and the unlimited power of self-de-
velopment in this life, while away
ahead lay a long road of development
for the soul. AS to the possibility Of
communion with those who had passed
over she was as certain of it as she
was of anything.
For some the veil between was very
thin, and she herself had had some
of the most splendid proofs Of authen-
tic messages.
1t was sometimes very, difficult, how
ever, to get into communication with
those beyond. Her father, in recent
message. said:
Would that you could see how rare
it is for clear direct spiritual inter
course to take place. see people
sitting in circles who are the victims
of the lower spirits"
Her father, said Miss Stead, found 1t
difficult to communicate through her,
because her mind was apt to jump TO
conclusions, but many messages had
come through others. In one OF them
he spoke of the horrors Of the battle
field and 'of all those hurried over
here untitled for the spiritual life.
They come in great bands and even
the archangels are powerless to raise
the spirit-it must grow of ITSELF"
In another message he spoke OF
the narrowing scenes witnessed by
him during the war. Some OF the
victims" he said, were higher tnan
others in the spiritual plane, but most
gravitated to the prison houses and
the darkness of the spheres"
Il think" Miss Stead remarked
that my father has found it more diff
ficult to get absolutely correct state
ments through than he had any idea
was the case when he was on this
side. Many things that we may have
taken to be correct then, i feel now
with the greater knowledge, he wishes
me to be careful about He has since
told me that some of the earlier mes
sages were distorted because his emo
ton in getting back to earth condi
| tons made it impossible for him tc
hold the Mediums brain, and his mes
sages were colored by the thoughts Of
the sitter. Just now / am very In
terested in some messages ] have re
ceived from America, for my father
has corroborated them in a very won
derful manner, which l did not thinl
possible"
These messages Miss Stead hopes Il
make public later.
