SPIRITUAL BRIDES NEAR EXTINCTION
Only Two Men and 52 Women
 Left in Strange Cult

Spaxton, England, Nov. LPI - Once again death at Agapemone has drawn popular attention to this strange walled colony of mystics who profess belief in the immortali- ty of the flesh.
 aged 70. who vas carried out the ponderous gates of the Abode Of Love" for an upright burial after the fashion of the cult.
 Thirty three women and two men followed the coffin. Douglas Hamil- ton. present ruler of the Abode, :" read a few prayers at the grave side, the women shed tears and scattered flowers. and the dwindling band of Agapeminites returned home.
 Spiritualization of the matrimonial state was the avowed object of the sect when the Rev. Henry James Prince founded it in 1S46. and ever since the spiritual brides of the colony have been a potential source Of disagreement with the outside world.
 Prince styled himself messiah and sent a proclamation to all countries notifying mankind that flesh is saved from death"
 At one time he had 500 followers. Well-to do women were the chief contributors.
 When Prince died, in 1899. there was a great falling off of those who had accepted literally his assump- tion of immortality. His mantle was seized by the Rev, John Hugh Smyth- Piggott, who had great mag netism and attracted new women devotees to the colony. His taking of spiritual brides" and his en- couragement of the custom aroused great indignation.
 Once a mob got past the walls and tried to tar and feather the prophet. The mob was in such a hurry it tarred and feathered the wrong man.
 Smyth- Piggott died two years ago. and was succeeded by Hamilton. Hamilton and one other man are the sole male survivors among the in mates,

Talkies Win Filipinos

Manila, Nov. 2 LP-The talkieS have made up for their poor start here and are going over strong ex- cept in one theater. Two more houses have installed them and a fourth is to follow suit. The two latest theatcrs 10 show them are drawing the largest crowds ever at traCted to the play houses in this city.
 D The musical numbers are highly popular and apparently the matter Of language is not such q difficulty as vas expected. Either the Fili- pinos understand English as it is spoken on the films or they do not ind it necessary to understand the players, for they are taking in the new entertainment in far greater numbers than they ever went to the still pictures.
 The one exception 10 the popu- la rty Of the tslkies is the first theatcr to install them. The acous- tics are bad and even the owner says that the situation. so far as his house is concerned. is not likely 10 improve.

YIGo, SPAIN. June 2t d.N.sl.--
A movement has been set on foot
in this city to organize an lnterna.
tionai exposition Of the fishing in.
dustry.
The idea Of fishing expedition
dates q good many years back, but
only now, stimulated no doubt BY
the international expositi0ns hetps
held in Seville and Barcelona, It has
been decided to make this eKposi.
tion international. rather than limit
It to Spanish fisheries, as has been
originally planned,
The fishing industry il Of prime
lrnportanee In Qalicia, reaching out
as 1t does. both north and west into
the Atlantic Ocean. And Vigo Is
ona of the principal sentaFs Of
this industry in Galicia, conse'
uuent1y an admirable location tor
an exposition Of this character.
Archaic Methods
In spite Of its great Importance,
fishing is still carried on IN Spain,
for the most part, by the erudest,
most archaic methods, People are
coming more and more TO realize
the efficiency and output Of the
industry. 1t is believed that an IN.
ternatienAl exposition will prove
great stimulus to the mpdernlzatlon
Of their fisheries,
And it would not be al all sur,
prising IL other more yindustriallzed
nations learned something useful
from the Spanish fishing industry.
One thing that greatly amazes
tourists when they visit Madrid or
Toledo, situated In the very center
OF the country, farthest removed
from any coast, lis the fact that no
meal is complete without a plate Of
fish.
Surprises Newcomers
What surprises SO many new
comeFs, the fish in Madrid and other
cities of central Spain Is extremely
fresh and palatable.
