"sltLY GHOST" HE SAYS

New York. April 10.--It was learned
yesterday that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
attended seancc last Friday night at
the American psychical Institute and
Laboratory, at which he talked" with
the spirit Of Nine. Eusipia Palladino,
world. famed medium. dead three years.
The scance was held IN a. dimly
lighted room. Nino Bccoraro, .
young italian medium, whose hands and
feet were bound with picture wire, was
placed In Q darkoned cabinet. There
were blood .cufdling shrieks, toy piano
on the table tinkled at the touch Of
ghostly hands and between intervals Of
hymn chanting Sir Arthur spoke en-.
courasinsly to the spirits.
SIly Spirits, He Says
"Come, spirit" he said, when the
ghost Of Palladino appeared reluctant
to speak, I'VE want you to know that
We love you. We want to help you.
We are your friends"
Sir Arthur afterward conHded to DR..
Carrington> that II the Manifestations
were genuine they seemed more like the
antics Of silly and Aippant spirits.
In his lecture yesterday afternoon
Sir Arthur said that in the land beyond
the grave there were SILLY spirits and
stupid ones" -.st
"People who were silly and stupid
in this world, he said, will be silly
and stupid In the life beyond the VEIL"
Every one jumped when a blood.
curdling shriek emanated from behind
the curtain, The silence that followed
was rudely shattered BY the rattlins Of
tambourine which, without warning,
was suddenly tossed out Of slit in the
curtain Of the cabinet and clattered
to the outer table: "A bell was heard
and the toy piano began to play.
Through the slit in the curtain some.
thing else crashed into the outer room.
came his collar.
A minute later little table rolled
out and fell over on its side.
''Palladino! Palladino!" came the
voice Of the medium from the cabinet.
Once more It spoke: "Palladino is
here, she is here. She will try to show
her hands-her face"-the voice died
Then came the voice Of Palladino
herself. Here's what she said:
II who used to call back the spirits,
now come back as spirit myself"
Fdiadinos-Suro
"Is that you, Nine. Palladino?"
asked DR.. Darlington.
Yes came the reply in q whisper.
- Then Sir Arthur spoke:
''The power Is getting stronger.
Palladino, We send you our love and
our best encouragement"
I'VE ore glad to. meet you again."
said DR.. CarrinRton. "Y0u used to
produce wonderful phenomena and I
h;!st hcIs . you will VII try to help us to.
II WILL" promised Palladino.
disappeared. Later Sir Arthur and
Dr.. Darlington went, into the cabinet
and found the medium slowly, coming
out Of his trance.
Sir Arthur's conception Of heaven. MS
he described it in his lecture yesterday,
is interesting. A kind hearted. gem
erous man who leaves this world i'm
mediately finds himself surrounded be
fiocks Of his friends on ''the other
side.' They swarm about him like
homing doves and he is happy and at
peace.
Unregenerate Left Desolate
Far different is the reception await.
ing the sinister, unreceptive man. The
cold, self absorbed, heartless man. No
kind spirits are on hand to greet his
advent into the land beyond the grave.
He IL left to himself, des0late and
alone, to wander and to ponder over
his mistakes on this earth; and finally.
when by this process he has been
chastencd, he is gradually admitted to
q higher sphere, where he slowly at.
tains happiness.
After leaving this earth the spirit
sleeps three days. Sir Arthur ex.
plained. This Is necessary to prevent
any shock to the mind that might be
sustained by too sudden transition.
Sir Arthur was in communication
with a spirit. he said, who was tell.
ing Of the glories Of the 'land BE-.
yond." The lecturer asked him II
Christ had punished him for his sins,
and here Is the message that came back:
"God Is far too good and far too
kind to worry people after all they've
been through on earth.'
