Spooks Fail to
Show in Paris
French Actress Holds Exhibi.
ton to Convince Parisians
There Are Spirits.

Paris, July 18.-Paris today pos
sesses its theater of spiritualism
where a French actress, Madame de
Ghimel, and her husband are to put
on daily shows. to convince French
people that spiritualism is no longer
myth.
Before the curtain went up on a
spiritualistic play called "Sous
I'Epouvante," musical concert was
given and by its applause the audi
ence showed it evidently enjoyed the
musical part of the program the
most. There was also a long con-
ference on spiritualism by Madame
de Ghimel, which seemed to fail to
convince her hearers of the wonders
of spiritualism, although during the
talk couple of tables began to move
across the stage, the leg of one OF
them coming to rest on the speakers
foot.
AS for the star piece it revealed
nothing. As the curtain went up
one could see low bed in the far
corner of the stage on which lay the
body of French soldier killed in
the war. His widow and child stood
over the bedside. Nothing and no
one moved for fully 10 minutes and
then the curtain was lowered again
and Madame Ghimel came forward
to say she had not done any practi-
cal demonstrating, but would give
her audience an opportunity later on
to see how true spiritualism was.

Stillman Riddles
Lead Quiet Lives
At Home Of Nurse
Spend Their Waking Hours
Making Sand Pies With
Other Children in Vicini-
ty of Their Residence

Niagara on the Lake, Ont, July
lS.-Happy as the day is long, play
ing on the beach and watching the
waves of Lake Ontario swish upon
the shore, Guy and Alexander Still
Man live very simple and quiet lives
here. They play with other children
of their own ages and spend a great
part of their time on the beach max
ing sand pies, building sand houses
and fortihcations, bathing and pad
ding in the water.
Their movements are always
watched with care so that no harm
will befall7them.
Alexander Stillman, 9, is sturdy
little chap with dark hair, dark eyes
and a clear complexion, pink with
health. His baby brother, Guy,
whose parentage is the main issue
in the famous Stillman divorce trial,
is as fair as Alexander is dark,
possessing a very fair skin, clear
blue eyes and his head is covered
with light curls. ..
Claims He's Canadian.
If one asks what he is he will say
without hesitation, II am a Ca
madam" This is because he has
spent great deal Of his life in
Canada with his nurse, Miss Ida
Oliver, of this place. His associa-
tions here, where he also spent last
summer, has given him an admiring
affection for this place.
The Stillman children lead very
plain lives. They rise at 9 o'clock
every morning and retire as the cur
few is ringing at 9 o'clock at night.
They eat simple, wholesome food,
spend all day outdoors and are
healthy and strong as any normal
child.
Guy plays with nearly every child
of his own age on the beach or
shares his little tea parties on the
lawn with the mud. Often he is
one of several who meander to the
the garden, where there are delicious
berries and picks a-plenty. The
owner is very good natured when
such raids are made.
Have Nice Home. @
The nurses home is located on "A
grassy knoll shaded by lovely old
trees, an ideal spot for a children's
playground.
Here the little millionaire baby"
as he is called, his brother and play
mates play happily as the days GO
by, untroubled by the family disturb
ances.
When seen today Guy was trot-
ting up quiet street with his nurse.
dressed in cool shantung suit and
talking happily of the cone he would
get when he reached uptown.
The two children have been here
with their nurse since last May and
there. is no child here any happier
or more popular than little Guy. -.

the proposed compensatory duties on
ali kinds of cotton. The criticism of
the lack of any demand for a duty
on short staple cotton. caused the

pound, but in the Fordney bill, all
kinds of raw cotton are left on the
free list.

the point of order. Chairman Ford
