WANTS TO SET PUBLIC RIGHT


"When a lecturer talks about a moro
or less unpopular subject" he began.
,"he is bound to catch few brlekbats
and he must expect them. But, / should
like to set tho public right before enter
ing upon this, by third lecture In New
York. '...'. ...-
1.-THE chief magistrate of this city"
here the audience began to chuckle
in anticipation-'tlias made reference
to my private affairs. He says. be.
lieve, that l am 'raking in the shekels.
I should like to say this for his benefit.
I never in my life took one shi ling
for the platform work I have done in
this cause"
When the applause subsidized and Sir
Arthur made a few remarks meant to
define his general subject, the lights
went off and the pictures went on.
The picture that Sir Arthur said I'M
pressed him Nest and which he said.
was only authentic picture Of its sort
he knew Of, showed a ghost stalking
tn" lcnght of room at noon anil ho.d
ing in her hand lighted candle Sir
Arthur admitted it looked like the first
unsuccessful efforts OF the ameteur
photograph kind that forgets to
turn the film and takes exposure after
exposure on one negative.
"But this was q photograph taken by
a skilled pilot ographer. said Sir Ar
thur. "He knew his business. 1t simply
goes to show that; you can see ghosts
and sometimes with the naked eye"
The audience 'gasped at first! Tho
glrost appeared to be a white clad
nurse. In the foreground she was quito
apparent and OPAQUE You could see
+. the chair that flesh and blood would
have hidden. Five duplicates OF her fol
lowed after the first, each little less
distinct and more nebulOus.
When there was a picture Of Katie
King, the spook discovered by Sir Will
liam Crookes. Katie was shown in
snowy garb, arm in arm with Sir Will
liam. Then she was shown stepping OUT
Of the sleeping form OF Miss Gallagher,
Sir Williams medium. Katie appeared
to be much larger than Miss Gallagher.
Sir William clipped lock from Katies
head. but 1t disappeared when light
struck 1t. Katie died 200 years before
her picture was taken said Sir Arthur.
One Of the impressive moments Of
the evening came when Sir Arthur told
Of going to Crewe to seek a picture OF
his dead son Kingsley. The first thing
produced no young man, but 1t did
show a clearly written letter from
Archdeacon Colley who had passed on.

cause the hall was not big enough to
receive them. For an hour the British
'spiritualis showed stereopticon repro
auctions Of the pictures that he says
should leave no Intelligent mind In
doubt Of the truth Of his preaching.
The darkness Of the theater, the
spookiness Of the subject, tho ,ncan.
ny effects produced by the pictures and
the impressive sincerity Of Sir Arthur
rs he told the history Of the subject
on the screen had weird effect upon
the crowd. There was little applause,
but always a dead silence-so deep
that a cough Or n rustic startled. Tho

just the kind that would show white
after drinking a glass Of frothy
beer. Senator Thomas J. Walsh Of
Montana exemplifies the walrus
type Of mustache, extremely long
and droopy, the kind that must be
hard to keep out Of soup. Senator
Charles Curtis of, Kansas has an
interesting mustache Of the abbre-
Waited walrus type; it is bushy and
dropping. but the tufts are not SO
long.
The combination mustache and
short beard. of the type exemplified
by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts, comes next in popu-
larity. This style has been adopted,
with slight variations, by four Sen
ators and twelve Congressman.
Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of
Louisiana has a neat little beard
with a point to 1t and his mustache
doesn't wander to such lengths as
does Lodges. Congressman George
II. Tinkham of Massachusetts, has
a combination slightly suggestive Of
Trotzky. Congressman Frederick
w. Dallinger Of Massachusetts, Of
fers still another variation in facial
adornment-the stubby type of
beard. Tortoise-shell glasses help
to set off this style. Congressman
Charles M. Stedman Of North Caro-
lima adds snow-white side whiskers
to the /mustache and beard combi-
nation. producing ans ensemble sug-
gestive Of Andrew Carnegie. A
trimmed and somewhat pointed
beard of the conventional cut en-

are partly bald, twenty-six Of them

Thomas E. Watson of Georgia and
Senator Robert M. LaFollette of

Ice from the neighborhood of his
ears, his whiskers," and SO forth,
but Mr.. Gathorne-Hardy declared
that in the conditions to which he
refers neither /spicules Of ice nor
whiskers were present.
Referring to the alteration in the
character Of the inhabitants, Mr..
Gathorne-Hardy stated that when
the first Moravian missionaries In
1852 tried to found a station, the
ruins Of which have recently been
discovered in the neighborhood Of
the present settlement Of Makovik,
their leader, with the captain and
five Of the crew Of the ship which
brought them, was murdered by the
Eskimo.
Undeterred by this failure, the
mission returned a few years later.
and, thanks to Its efforts, the Eskimo
Of Labrador Is now as peaceable
and truthful a Christian as one
could wish to meet. The quality of
truthfulness, indeed. he carries to
almost absurd lengths.

statement, II is said, he will apol.

request Is refused, but on further
consideration granted. he viii not

This was the outstanding thing
that impressed the delegates to the
arms conference-not that WASH
ington had broad streets and fine
trees, but that Congressman were
shorn of the conventional hirsute
marks, of distinction. that most of
them were addicts of the old facial
lawn mower.
OF the ninety.six gentlemen who
grace the upper chamber Of Con.
gress, exactly fifty-nine are smooth
faced. And in the House there
are precisely 1877 clean-shaven
gentlemen. This all may be gravy
for the Capitol barber shops.
and It may be excellent propa-
ganda for the Public Health Service
in its war on germs, but 1t Is moth.
ing less than shocking to the dis
tinguished bewhiskered foreign visi-
tors in the Capital. They just can't
understand how a man can make
good laws without even the aid Of a
Charlie Chaplin mustache.
Next in popularity to the clean
face among Congressman Is the
short, well-cropped mustache. or
course, it gets in the coffee and har-
bors germs, but 1t tickles some Of
the ladies and perhaps adds just a
wee bit OF distinction. you know.
Twenty-Five Senators have close
mustaches and sixty-seven Con-
gressmen are thus adorned.
wALRUS FENDER is THIRD.
The long mustache wins third
place in popularity, eleven Senators
and thirteen Congressman being
thus decorated. The long mustaches
are of sundry styles. some imposing.
others horrifying. Senator Duncan
u. Fletcher Of Florida has an
aristocratic little upward twirl at
the ends Of his well-groomed mus
tache. Congressman Andrew j.
volstead of Minnesota has a some
what droopy and bushy mustache.
