SPIRITUALIST SEANCES
IN PAMLAND'S COLONY
Two Hundred of Faith Gather
to Hear Ghosts- Play
Auto-harp ill Dim
lit House
WORD FROM McKINLBY.
Weird rapplngs, nlleged conversations
with the shades of lonB-dcparted statesman
and awesome musto on an auto-harp, played,
apparently, by Invisible lingers, are said
to be somo of the Incidents which aro dally
stirring residents of a little Spiritualist
colony at Parkland, Pa,
Some of the residents of TarUland have
become so unnerved by the "doings" the
last few days that they were talking of
moving to less spooky surroundings. Folks
. of Parkland who don't tako any stock In
spirits, ghosts and the like, received a
shock when thoy attended a "circle" at the
homo of Henry Thomscn, spiritualist me
dium, and heard the old refrain, "Homo
Bweel Home," played on an auto-harp There
was no Blgn, they say, of the Instrument
being In contact with any human agency,
and yet tho wires vlbrnted as If played
by Invlslblo hands, and the room was
flooded with the old song which has stirred
tender memories In many a homesick
breast
Mckinley brings news.
Another uneasy thrllt ran through Parle
landMvhen It was reported that the shado
of President McKlnloy had dropped In on
the "circle" at Mr. Tliomscn's home and
announced that tho United States was going
i to be plunged Into a great war within a
year
But perhaps nonsplrltuallsts of Park
lahd BUrtorod tho worst shock of all to
their superstitious fears when It was an
nounced that Thomsen never employed a
medical practitioner of tho earthly kind,
but summoned an Indian medlclno man,
dead 300 years, from tho spirit world to
admlnlstor to bnckacho and rheumatlo
twinges. Tho acutely superstitious were
cbout ready to pack their goods and go
whon thoy heard tills. It made thorn feel
creepy to think of an Indian who has been
dead and burled 300 years stalking around
Parkland.
The Spiritualists' colony Is conducted by
the Spiritualists' Homo and Camp-Mcctlng
Association, of which Frank Luce, 1724
Columbia nvonuo, this city, Is president.
In tho summer, 200 or more Spiritualists
assemble at Parkland and hold camp meet
ings. The members of tho colony gather nt
Thomson's homo Friday nights to receive
messages from "spirit frloniR" Some
times residents who arc not Spiritualists
participate In tho "circles."
"There nro mysterious thrills aplenty,"
Parkland folks say, when Mrs. Martha
Ilhnencck goes Into a tranco. Sho Ii
known nmong tho Spiritualists of Park
land as a "trumpet medium " After Mrs.
Bhaoncck has passed Into a state of
tranco and the lights aro turned dim. a
trumpet,, made of pasteboard, Is seen to
float mystically from one person to nn
other. A spirit fcom the "other side" Is
supposed to take posjesslon of Mrs.
Rhaoneck'a body; and speak through tho
floating- trumpet. In describing the np
pearanco of the spirit of President McKln
ley, Mrs. niineiieck said:
"Of courso, knew nothing of what was
olnR on I hvas in tho tranco state and
my spirit hafl flown, and tho spirit of Mc
Klnley had . taken temporary residence In
my body After I camo out of my trance
a Wllmlngion Spiritualist told me that Mc
Klnley hid predicted that this country
ivumu ofs invoncu in war within ono year,
THE TITANIC DISASTER.
330 hours before tho Titanic wont down
Jfcflflctured this great marino disaster while
111 trance. 1 described thn Rrnnnn whlph
occurred when the great steamship struck
tho Iceberg In the northern seas."
Mrs. Thomas Beck, a member of the
Union Church at Parkland, Is not a Spir
itualist and says she docs not believe In
any of the tenets of tho fnlth.
"But I have seen things," she said, "that
were very queer. I attended a circle tho
other night nnd nftcr tho lights wero turned
low heard music from an auto-harp which
lay on the table In Mr. Thomson's home.
"After listening for a while, I Bald: 'If
this thing can be done In tho dark It can
bo done In the light; turn up tho lights.'
Mr. Thomsen turned on tho lights, and I
was astonished when tho harp kept on
playing. I could sea tho strings vibrate
In tho making of the tune, but no Angers
were visible or any other means by which
the harp could be played by human agency.
It was a decided shock to mo, and made
me quite nervous."
Thomsen saya that the spirit of his
daughter Emily, who died In 1902, Is a reg-
-ular visitor nt the Friday night "circles."
"When I call my daughter," said Thom
sen, "she always comes. The indistinct
lines of her spiritual form are always visi
ble to me. She floats through the wall of
the houso as easily as If no wall ovli.,i
She looks Very happy and always the first
thing sho says when sho arrives Is Papa,
I am here, dear.'
"Then we sing tho last tuno Bho played
on the piano bofore she passed into the
' spirit world, and sho acompanles us on
the harp which lies pn the table. That
tuno Is 'Home, Sweet Homo.' She played
It beautifully when she was an earthly
being, but the rendition Of Cmlly the spirit
ta far more wonderful. She gives 'Home,
Sweet Home' a quality of heavenly sweet
ness. Sometimes the spirit of daughter
Emily will play Wearer My Qod to Thee,'
and the old song, 'Sowing the Seeds of
Kindness.'
SOLDIERS AMONG SPIRITS.
"Lately Kmlly has been speaking much
about the war nnd Its effect on the spirit
world.
'y'lt Is hard on tho spirit world,' she said
ti) me Jast Friday eventnr. 'the way the
spirits of soldiers are coming Into spirit
land. We are not prepated to receive
them.' "
Here Mrs. Thomsen broke Into her hus
band's narrative.
"But Emily," she said, "has very little to
do with the spirits of war. When she Vaa
on earth she loved children dearly, and
since she has been In the spirit world she
has. made the spirits of little children her
especial care, ane nas classes of these
children, and my little grandson, who died
some time ago, Is a member of one of these
classes. I often ask her about my little
grandson and she always tells me that he
is ery happy. He romps about with other
child spirits, she says, and lias a good time,
as ha did while on earth. Emily has moth
ered many a little chick who never knew a
mother's care on earth."
"I was a freethinker," he said, "and I
used to scold Emily when she attended
these spiritualist camp-meetings. But she
kept going just the samo, and after she died
I felt a longing to have her with me again.
Then I called to her, and Bhe came forth
from the spirit world to comfort us in our
olii aera.
"Often I say to Emily, "What Is the
spirit world hkbt 00 jou nave houses
there? Do you have food? Don't you ever
want to come back?'
"Emily would reply: 'Father, dear, It Is
hard to explain the spirit world, only I
can say that I have no desire to return to
tn earth. We have spiritual houses, of
course, and our food is of the spiritual bind
I shall be so happy when you and mother
van be with roe.'
"A little while ago a young man who kept
company with Emily bofore she entered
the spirit world attended one of our Friday
evening circles. This young roan was
startled when he heard the voice of Qrally
say 'Fred, you did not keep your promise
and give me a rose that ust time wo were
together. But you did plant two rose
bushes on. my grave in Forest H Us and
today passed over the cemetery I saw
that two rosea had bloomed I .U1 talc
one at them The next day Its ted too.

become an Important country for all meats
except pork that Is, although' other meats
are exported, they nro imported in greater
quantities.
"Tho failure of meat production to keep
pace with the growth of population, com
bined with the Increased cost of production
and diminishing purchasing power of the
mouey'unlt, haB contributed to high meat
prices all over the world," says the report.
