TESTS SPIRIT VISITATION
Russell II Conwell Tells of Visit of
Shade of Wife

Russell II. Conwell, pastor of the
Baptist Temple and president of the
Temple University, told the story to
the New York Times recently of how
he was convinced of the reality of the
visits of the spirit of his wife who
died thirty years ago.

must inevitably follow such clear
case" he said, ARE of the deepest
significance to religious thought"
In a thoroughly deliberate way Dir.
Conwell calmly stated his belief in the
existence not only of spiritual world
but the visitation of spirits to this
earth on purposeful errands.
"Time and again | would see my
wife" said DR.. Conwell, sitting on
nv bed. as she did when she was
alive, and looking much the same.
When she had first come ] had the DIS
tinct feeling that was merely talking
to myself. but the startling fact that
she was actually spirit grew upon
me.
II finally asked her whether she
cared to test her spiritual presence,
and she smilingly said that she would
MT mind at all. So ! asked her If she
could find my discharge papers from
the civil war which | had lost. She told
me that they were in black lacquer
ed box behind the third shelf OF the
bookcase in my library.
Il got up Immediately and found
them where she had said they woula
no never can remember having
seen this lacquered box, and she mad
apparently put them there in her own
lifetime.
Gwen this did not satisfy me.

sity. and knew how easily it was Tor

possibly that it was my unconscious
memory at work.

She consented. Then asked ner
whether she would come again the
next morning. After some hesitancy

infection on the word tomorrow, and
the look on her face, impressed me
with the feeling that ! could not keep
nm this experiment indefinitely.
Before l went to bed that night

not to tell me where she put it. In
the morning my wife came at the us

RELEASE GERMAN TREASURE
Gold of French Indemnity Found liz
Treasure Tower

The war has released from Ger
were locked up during the entire life
of the German Empire, says the New
York Sun. These are some gold pieces
put away in the Julius Tower of the
citadel of Spandau after the Franco
Prussian war, when France had paid
its five milliards to the victor. The
Prussians did not go to the trouble to
melt down the coins. They put them
away as they came, whether in the
form of French napoleons or English
sovereigns. Perhaps the junkers of
that day had in mind what later filled
the ambitions Of the junkers of 1914
the occupation of Paris and Lon
| dom
Here were even the coins in readi-
ness for dealing with the tradespeople
of the conquered cities; sovereigns
with which to buy beef and ale in the
English capital; French gold pieces
for footing the bill of that Christmas
dinner in Paris which William & Son
never ate. We do the Plusians the
honor of assuming that in the fashion
able places of the conquered they
would pay for what they took from
civilians, although the record in Bel
GUM squints at the assumption.
A. n
must be rubbing their eyes after near
ly half century of darkness, are now
coming into the United States to pay
for food and other supplies which
America has sent to the distressed re-
gions. 1t is a commentary on the diff
ference between what the elder Prus-
slams thought war would cost and
what it really did cost that the $780,
900, 900 which was ordinarily kept III
the imperial treasure boxes at Span
dau would pay less than fifth Of the
present German debt to the United
States for supplies.
Germany came by that gold through
the pursuit of the ancient Hohenzol-
lern business of war. She took it
roughly and she parts with it in pain
But the chances are that some OF this
very metal will be going back to her
soon; perhaps not in the form OF SOW
ereigns or napoleons, but rather as
American eagles and gold bars. She
will win it back by a quick return to
industry. Her people know that there
is no such thing for Germany, or for
any other country which wishes to
live, as impossibly short work hours
and impossibly high wages. The Ger
mans will get trade with the outer
world by turning out goods cheaper
than their neighbors. For their goods
they will get gold and for the gold raw
materials.
II a PSYCHOLOGIST were in charge Of
the worlds minting he might insist
that these gold pieces be not melted
down but instead stamped with the
word "Reichskriegschatz.' Every
time one Of the coins returned to Ger
MANY on its errand the Germans
would be reminded Of the folly of
their old masters in establishing a
war bank which, like tie Kaisers
great army, was a constant temptation
to start something.

Rev. Charles +. Bedard read his an
nual report of st. Mary's parish, Sun
day morning. The report shows not
only that the parish is free from debt,
but that there is a substantial cash
balance on hand The report was
gratifying both to the pastor and to
the people, and this is the first time
in years, if ever, that the parish has
been absolutely free from debt,
The amount received during the
year, including cash balance of
$4,000 on hand, amounted to s40,-
4s3.33.
During the year the balance of the
debt, $500, was paid off. This
pleasing statement was first made on
May 10Th. when the pastor celebrated
his silver jubilee.
There has been deposited in the
Putnam Savings Bank $4,000 to be
used as a nucleus for fund to be
used in building a needed addition tt

Rev. FIR. Bedard came to Putnam in
August, 1912, at which time the par
ish was carrying debt of approx
mately $4,000. Not only has this
debt been entirely wiped out by his
untiring efforts, but ne has also caus-
ed to be erected reetory at cost of
about $4,000, spent hundreds of
dollars in redecorating and remodel
ing the interior of the church. remod-
eled, renovated and repaired the old
convent building for occupancy of St.
Mary's school, bought large piece of
ground for an addition to st. Mary's
cemetery, had the entrance to the
church remodeled, and caused many
other minor changes and improve
ments. And the large expense has
been met and, as already stated. there
is substantial sum on hand with no
outstanding bills.
While the Pensioners are well
pleased at the stewardship of the pas
tor, he, in turn, is encouraged by the
generous response of his people to all
appeals for financial aid, we'll realiz-
ling that without their cooperation
such fine record could not have been
made. But it is due to their conf
dence in the pastor that has caused
the purse strings of the people to be
Iloosei and such a generous flow of
money to the parish,

Man o. War Favored
Over Older Horses
I'm $4,000 Match

IL seems practically certain now that
early next month there will be staged
at the Kenilworth track, near Windsor.
Ont, ons Of the greatest match races
known in the history OF turf on shis
continent.
Samuel c. Riddle, J. K. L. Ross and
Willis Sharpe Kilmer have virtually
accepted terms from the Canadian
ssportsmen to send Man o. War, Sir
Barton and Exterminator to the post
for test at mile and a quarter. Tho
Aenilworth people are ready to guar
antee prize of $50 900 as an incentive
FOR this titanic struggle among ac-
knowledged champions.
Such race would bring together, on
9 weight for age proposition, three OF
the greatest thoroughbreds the Ameri-
can turf has known throughout its
glowing history. And every one of tho
three. at the moment. seems on the
very finest edge OF form.
Though threeyear- r-olds. as a rule, do
not rate with older horses over a lone
distance of ground. Man o. War is such
an exception to all rules and standards
that very few. if any, who have watched
has great performances as q three year
old would not concede him the favor In
such a test.
Man O. Wars great victory at Havre
de Grace in the Potomac last Saturday,
as much as any other great achieve
ment this season, stamps him the super
horse all over. Weight cannot stop
hinn.
Within the last few days improve
ment has been noted in the entry lists
daily at Aqueouct, and unless there 10
an unusual amount OF scratching to.
