BERLIN, Aug. 25.-"The terrible
news that the dollar crossed the
1,S00-mark line and Is advancing
trresistibly upon the 2,000-mark line,
spread alarmingly through Berlin
and the country today. .,.
Nothing else is talked Of but this
new disaster to Germany, which in
the end means nothing else but the
complete collapse of our economics" "
This quotation from one Of Ber.
Inns newspapers gives q graphic
glimpse Of the financial alarm and
agitation in Germany when the
mark made the hitherto unprece-
dented drop in one day of more than
300 points.
Germans seldom speak Of the fall
OF the mark, invariably saying the
rise Of the dollar" Todays "ad-
vance OF the dollar" stirred Berlin
as nothing else since the vital days
Of the war.
Most of the leading stories and
editorials on the front pages of a
majority of the German press yes
terday afternoon were devoted to the
dollar" and gloomy forebodings on
what next week is to bring to Ger
many.
The government sought to quiet the
agitation and nervousness toward
noon by putting out statement
that the situation was not as bad as
It looked, but II had little effect.
Before the bourse opened, curb
dealings began with quotations Of
1900 marks for a dollar, but as few
dollars were forthcoming It soon
went to 1000, then 100, followed by
1900 offered. But the dollar still
remained coy and shy. The price
crossed the 2,000-mark line and
shortly after l o'clock the price was
officially fixed as 1879.

I was born in Glasgow, Scotland
you know that old city-about
fifty years ago. Since that mem
orable day one Of the subjects that
has ever been all-absorbing TO me
is that which you so strongly op-
pose in your lectures and your
demonstrations: namely. spiritsn1.
i venture this expression at your
invitation to state that the sub
ject as handled by you, In your
capacity as the worlds most ia

ordinate opposite to the truth,
view which is but the legitimate
outcome of your life's work. For
/ am sure you will concede that
your mind has been-ever ana al
ways-intensely active in account
ing for any and all occurrences on
the natural plane as being OF ma
terial origin and to greater de-
gree mechanical.
At the early age OF eighteen
years, was engaged in Bath
street, Glasgow, as public
healer. At that time Prof. Bodie.
the electrical expert, was. oper.

sions have had successes where
the worthy professor had failed.
This was In connection with the
Spiritualist Association. Later
took up the theological study OF
the phenomena and with the
Stevensons-famou in Scotland
as mediums-inaugurated what
was then denominated the Church
of the Prophets. This, by the
way, was a celibate organization.
During that time we had exclu-
sive circles to which strangers
were never admitted. The re.
suits on these occasions were
real and true beyond a doubt.
From there I came to Amer
lea and lectured in New York
and Baltimore on the subject
that is through affiliation with
the movement. And later l spent
fourteen years in the scientific
study Of theology. The founder
OF the colony In which I lived
was the most prolific writer on
the subject-scientific.

QUITE A BUSINESS
IN HOT TAMALES

Make better mouse trap than
anyone else," says Emerson, "and the
world will make beaten track to your
door" The summer resort Of Almont
Is becoming famous for its hot tamale
manufactury. Mrs. Rosa Watzling and
Mrs. George Salisbury of that place
are SO expert in the composition of
this winter delicacy that orders are
flowing in from, not only several
stores here in Gunnison that handle
them, but from dealers in Montrose,
Delta. Hotckiss and Aspen. Others
are inquiring, but already the ladies
have business that exceeds 100 dozen
tamales week, and 1t sometimes runs
$50 dozen. The price is good, and as
they are experts in making this palate
provocative, there is good return for
the labor.
