MAETERLlNcK ON SPIRITS.
HIs Opinion About Those MstsrIalized
by Mediums.

HE Opinion About Those m0terialtAoo
by Mediums.
Maurice Maeterlinck, writing about
life after death in the Fortnightly Re-
view, makes these remarks about the
30 called ''spirits" that are materialiZed
by mediums:
TT Is a remarkable thing that they
appear to be much more interested in
events here below than in those Of the
world wherein they move.
"They seem, above all, Jealous in es-
tablishing their identity, to prove that
they still exist, that they recognize us,
that they know everything. and to con-
vince US Of this they enter into the
most minute and forgotten details with
extraordinary precision. perspicacity
and prolixity.
'They are also extremely clever at
unraveling the intricate family cOnnec-
tons Of the person actually question
ing them, OF any Of the sitters, or even
OF a stranger entering the room. They
recall this ones little inhrmities, that
ones maladies, the eccentricities or
tendencies OF a third.
'grhey have cognizance Of events tax
ing place at a distance, but there
comes from It all no breath. no glim-
mer OF the hereafter. not even the
something vaguely promised and
vaguely waited for.
1--WE shall be told that the mediums
are visited only by inferior spirits, In
capable Of tearing themselves from
earthly cares and soaring toward
greater and lOftier ideas. Il is pos
sible, and no doubt we are wrong %
believe that a spirit stripped OF its
body can suddenly be transformed and
reach IN a moment the level Of our
imaginings, but could they not at least
inform US where they are and what
they feel and what they doT'

Kentucky used to tell a story OF a ma

mountain murder trial where Knott

gave his name, his age and his place
Of residence. Then one of the lawyers
asked him to describe bis first meeting
with a certain person who figured In
the case.

STRENUOUS BANKING.
clIonts Faced a Cooked Gun While
Handing Over Their Dust.

Handing Over Their Dust.
Many years ago gold was discovered
at Hokitika, on the west coast Of New
Zealand There was a rush to the
small Maori village. and within few
weeks seventy vessels. Of all rigs and
tonnage, were waiting to get over the
dangerous harbor bar. The author OF
"Antipodean Notes" describes the firBt
bank established in the little town.
With the vessels came two agents OF
a local bank. Their bank furniture
consisted Of a safe. a pair OF scales, a
tent and a couple Of revolvers. The
two agents set up their tent, put the
safe In the back part and plank. laid
across two tree stumps, in front
The bank STAR sat down behind
the plank; before one man were the
scales, a bottle OF acid and a note
book; the other held cooked revolver.
The digger brought his gold to the
plank Counter" where It was weigh
ed and tested. When the value was
determined the testing clerk unlocked
the safe. placed the gold In II, brought
out a bundle of dirty banknotes and
handed them to the digger.
During this transaction the clerk
with the revolver looked carefully
about to see II any suspicious persons
were lurking near.

Woman suffrage was indorsed and a
plea for representation in congress of
the 10,000,000 negroes in the United
States was made in the annual address
of Rev. e. C. Morris, president of the
national Baptist convention, at the
session of the organization at Phila-
delphia. "The suffrage movement had
its foundation in the fact that taxation
without representation is unjust, and
no class or race is better prepared by
experience to sympaathize with such a
movement than the colored people"
"Fhe capital of our nation" he said.
lis a hotbed of race hatred, and from
there it will continue to spread to all
sections of the country until the negro
men shall be elected to congress and
speak for themselves.
"As Christian workers." the speaker
added, 1--WE are for peace, and we pray
for the time to come when nations
shall study war no more, and yet as
true Americans in the face of all dis
examinations we stand ready to de-
fend the flag of our country against
any foreign foe"
More than 5000 delegates from near.
ly every state In the Union were in at.
tendance upon the convention.
