it rrcixt TiLrGEAM to tiik dtspatcim
Philadelphia, Oct G. Senator Quay,
who came up from Atlantic City yesterday
fcith his wire and daughter, took a late
afternoon train for "Washington. After
breakfast this morning the Senator went to
the People's Bank and one or two other
places where he had some private business
to transact, and about half past 11 o'clock
returned to the Continental Hotel, and was
closeted for nearly an hour with State
Chairman "Watres, of the Kepublican Cam
paign Committee.
As he left the State headquarters for his
own parlors, ilr. Quay was asked for his
opinion as to the ontlook in the State, but
he declined to be interviewed. It was
ascertained, however, that while in confer
ence with the State Chairman the Senator
talked as though he were confident that the
Uepublican State ticket would win this fall,
!iut reminded the .Lieutenant Governor of
t!ie importance of having a thorough organ
ization in all parts of the State as the one
antidote for the apathy that appears to
ixht among the oters.
A QCIET CONFEREXCE HELD.
Senator Quay summoned Assistant Post
master Hughes to the hotel during the
morning, and about 12:.-!0 o'clock that offi
cial and tbc ex-national Chairman met in
he State Committe rooms and had a brief
hat on political affairs, and when the two
men separated Mr. Quav said that he would
have an interview wrth the Postmaster
General as soon as he reached Washington.
"When aked how the State ticket would
ie affected by the return to mushroom
lub of the fees paid by them, by which
cct they w ould pass out of existence, Mr.
uay replied w ith his customary brusque
less and a leer on his face: "I don't know
inything about it, and I don't care any
iiing about it I am not in the mushroom
lub business." lleports come from the
Western part of the State that ex-Secretary
.inday, of the I.eaeue of Republican
tubs, has been directed to hand their fees
jack to the clubs, and that they will hence
orth cease to exist.
WILL CAVSE A BOW.
It is believed in some quarters that this
Ktion will generate considerable ill feeling
unon the people constituting these clubs,
nd that the ellect will be to greatly preju
lice the State ticket in November. Senator
fuay evidently had no taste for the subject,
nd was glad to dismiss it. State Chairman
a:re said that he had received a letter,
ihich he believed alluded to the matter,
ut he did not seem to consider the matter
t any great importance as an element in
lie campaign.
He is quite as confident as his chief that
'ie Republican ticket will lie a winner at
no polls in November, and rejoices that the
ity ticket thows signs of increasing
rength every day. He "had several callers
uring the morning, and mot of the time
as locked up in his room with them,
onator Quay paid him a second visit just
efore train time and seemed unabl to tear
iraselfaway. Just what the purport of
is interviews was could noi be ascertained,
ut they evidently had soine important
caring on the campaign.

Newaek, O., Oct 6. Special. From
now on until the day of election the Repub
licans here will conduct a school of in
struction for the votors on their side who
propose to learn all there is to know about
the working of the "Kangaroo" voting law.
A booth has been established ot headquar

information answers all questions regarding
the new law.
The continued wrangle going on between
individuals demonstrates that nothing is
known of the law by the people in general,
and the probabilities are that the two great
parties will lose an enormous number of
votes which will no doubt be cast illegally
through sheer ignorance.

CAN YOU PRODUCE A GHOST ?
A CHALLENGE TO SniRrTTTALISTS BT
THE PSYCHICAL SOCIETY.
The Investigators Promise Perfect Fair
ness J. T. Fletcher, of the Spiritual
Research Society, Will Reply Not
Favorably Reccli ed by the Spiritualists.
New York, Oct. C The Rev. T. Ernest
Allen, Pastor of the First Unitarian Church
of Providence, K. L, and Secretary of the
American Psychical Society, recently
organized among the clergy of various de
nominations, physicians, scientists and
others, including Rev. R. Heber Newton,
of this city, and Hers. Minot Savage and
Dr. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, has
sent the following letter to a prominent
New York spiritualist as a rejoinder to
manj- attacks on the purposes of the society
that' have appeared in the spiritualistic
press:
Talk with the average Spiritualist and
you w ill rind that his chief grievance against
the world is that it will not Investigate tho
Shenomena upon which he bases his belief,
e glows with righteous indignation
when descanting upon the biirotry of
the ministers who 'preach acainst Spiritual
ism without knowing anything about it.'
One would think then that when an associa
tion like the American Psychical Society is
organized for the express purpose of insti
tuting a scientific investigation of modern
Spiritualism, that then there would be re
jnicinij nil along the line, and that Spiritual
ism would help on the woik by offering the
societ lacilitics for study and by con
tributing money to support it. Tho
two piospectuses issued to the public
have welcomed Spiritualists as well
as others to membership Yet
the first woid upon the subject published in
a leading spiritualistic journal was an edi
torial neaaca: var Against spiritualism.'
Under date of June C last an announcement
invitnm all persons interested to become
members was sent for publication to over
COJ teligious newspapers, including all or
niost of the spiritualistic organs. Have
the Spiritualists responded? Next to none.
They notico the names of a few clergy
men connected with the society, and since,
of course, no good thing can come out of
Nnzareth straightway they assume that tho
whole movement was got up as a partisan
attack upon phitualism. So lar as tho prin
ciple is concerned, I do not see but it is Just
as inconsistent for Spiritualists to condemn
our society without a hearing as for minis
ters to dismiss psychical phenomena as the
w ork of tne devil without a careful study of
the matter. This is all wron?. There will
be time enough to condemn the society
when it has proved by its reports that it
does not wish to find the truth. Until then
fair play domands that it should be given
the benefit of the doubr.
Upon which( horn of the dilemma do
apiriniaiiFM wish me sceptics oi mis coun
try to impale them? Thattbey are afraid of
the investigation, or that, in their own opin
ion, themselves having all the truth, they
are utterly lacking In that missionary zeal
which delights to educate others? Tliev
w ill draw the one conclusion or the other, if
Spiritualists stand aloof with their hands in
their pockets casting suspicious glances at
us. An investigation is here; it has
already begun; nothing shall stop it! The
society wants to find the truth. Where
aie the Spiritualists who aro ready to meet
us in a sympathetic spirit, as they wish us to
meet them in approaching their phenomena,
to listen to our plans and to help us forward
iu a work of deep concern to tho whole hu
man race? Wheie are they and what are
they willing to do to bring before the world
in their true light the phenomena to which
they pin their faith?"
Mr. S. "W. Fletcher, of the Spiritual Re
search Society, said yesterdaw that he had
heard of the Allen letter, and he intended to
answ er it.

THE DAI OBSERVED IN WASHINGTON
Foet Madison, Ia., Oct. a Thia city
is given over entirely to-day to the German
Americans, who have thronged here in
grc3t numbers in spite of the threatening
rain. The trains coming in this morning
were loaded down with excursionists. Tho
number of people in the city is about 2,000.
Governor Boies came in at 10 o'clock
from Keokuk, and was escorted to the hotel
by Co. F., L N. G., of this place. The
parade formed at 10:30 in the drizzling rain,
and consisted of carriages containing local
committees, General Seigel, Governor
Boies, visiting delegates with bands, floats
of business houses here and members of
various German secret orders. The pro
cession, about one mile long, proceeded to
Central Park, where an elaborate pro
gramme had been arranged.
Eain was falling rapidly at this point,
but it was determined to proceed.
gf.ni:kat, sieoeis speech.
The keys of the city were delivered to
President Stempel by Mayor Hamilton in a
neat speech. Governor Horace Boies was
then introduced, but he made no speech,
simply telling the people that he w as here
to-day as one among a thousand to pay a
tribute to the great German-American hero.
Then General Franz Siegel made a speech of
an hour's length. He said in substance:
German Day is one dear to our hearts, for
on this day, the first Germans landed on our
coast and founded a colony. At this timo
tne iuriS were Knocmng at tne aoors oi
Vienna and France was expelling Germans
from her borders. Thirty thousand went to
Holland and then to England, and about
half of this number came to America. Ger
mantow n was their first settlement, whore
they were made welcome by William Penn.
Germans proved good colonists. They
assisted in building np the country and dis
played solid achivements as tho result of
their presence.
Alter the Revolution of ISIS, emigrants
from Gonnany came to this country in a
veritable torrent. Their presence in Ameri
ca, since that date has been fixed nnd cer
tain. They will not disappear in America.
They will retain their chaiacteristics as Ger
mans, while gaining an unswerving loyalty
to their country, America.
In the late war they were found wholly
identified with the Union cause, and fought
as truo soldiers. Espeeiallv in tho AVest
was the German influence "beginning to be
felt the strongest, and the West is the future
great section of America.
A CELEBRATION IN THE BAIN.
A few songs and short addresses followed
and the great audience, covered with um
brellas, went to dinner. In tho afternoon
the rain ceased falling and a concert was
given in the park by the various German
singing clubs. Thisevening General Siegel
is holding a public reception at the hotel.
Firew orks are being displayed on the Mis
sissippi river, and dancing is the order of
the evening in many halls.
A. dispatch irom Washington says: Ger
man day was celebrated with great enthus
iasm by the citizens of this city of German
birth and descent The principal feature of
the celebration was an industrial parade.
The procession was the largest and best
seen in Washington for a long time. A
contingent of the National Guard of Dis
trict ot Columbia, several benevolent asso
ciations and pleasure clubs, and the Veteran
Volunteer Fireman's Association partici
pated. The parade also passed through the
"White House grounds, where it was re
viewed by the President and Secretaries
Proctor and Busk.
A CELEBRATION IN THE SNOW.
A dispatch from Omaha says: Six thou
sand people marched in the German parade
this afternoon in spite of the fast-falling
snow. The storm, nowever, soon ceased,
and the rest of the day proved pleasant.
All the German societies of the city and
surrounding towns were out with banners
and floats, and the procession was an im
posing one. The day's festivities closed
with a monster meeting at Germania Hall,
at which an extensive musical programme
was rendered, and addresses were delivered
by TJdo Brachvogel and E. Rosewater.
A CHAMPI0K "WHISKY TESTES.
Career of the Man Who Knows All There Is
to Know About Liquor.
St. I.onls Globe-Democrat.
The most successful authority on the
quality and proper grading of liquor in this
country is a man with a funny history. He
is recognized as the greatest authority on the
quality of whisky and brandy in the world,
and deserves the credit, too. I don't sup
pose there is another man on earth who
knows as much about whisky as he does.
His knowledge was obtained in the right
way, too, because ten years ago he was a
common drunkard in a Minnesota town.
He was famous all over the Northwest as a
drunkard and worthless vagabond, who lived
only for the whisky he conld get to drink.
He is now 50 years of age, and for 30 never
did anything but drink whisky, until, as he
says, he was thoroughly saturated with it
About six years ago, when there appeared
no chance of his redemption, he began to
pass upon and criticise the quality of
whisky for a Chicago saloon keeper, and
finally attracted the attention of experts by
his remarkable knowledge of the Kentucky
fluid. He was employed by a Peoria dis
tiller and, strange to say, stopped drink
ing. He tests liquor by rubbing it on his
hands and breathing the odor, and you
can't fool him on any brand of whisky made
in this country. He can grade 50 different
whiskies by smelling of them, and makes
more money in a year now than he made in
20 during his drinking days. He is now
cmploved by the largest liquor house in
New York,

Knlthts of Labor Favor Fighting the
Maker of American Tin.
St. IX)Uls,Oct. 6. District Assembly No.
4, Knights of Labor, has taken the first
steps toward having a general boycott
placed upon the manufactures of
the St. Jjouis Stamping Company.
At the meeting on Sunday the
Secretary was instructed to correspond with
General Secretary John "W. Hayes, calling
the attention of the Executive Board to the
labor troubles in the tin plate mills of the
stamping company. The follow ing resolu
tions were unanimously adopted:
Kesolved, That District Assembly No. 4.
Knights of Labor, expresses its sympathy
with the men on strike at Nicdringhaus'
works.
ltesolvcd, That District Assembly No. 4
appreciates the manly stand taken by the
imported workingmen who refused to take
the place of their fellow workers.
Ilesolvcd, That District Assembly No. 4
offers its moral aid and encouragement to
the men on strike at the Niedrlnghans'
works.
The action of Niedringhaus in importing
workmen has aroused great indignation
among the laboring classes of St. Louis, and
it is upon this ground that the Knights of
Laborwill be asked to declare the general
boycott.

The Sandwich Islands, as the Hawaiian
group are known, have of late years become
very popular as a resort for fashionable
people who want to enjoy the pleasures of
social intercourse without the excitement
and care of an organized set, says a native
now-traveling in America. The events in
Honolulu during the winter months are as
brilliant as they are in New York or Paris,
nnd I have seen balls and receptions at the
palace of the Queen which would compare
with those given in the royal palaces of
European countries for splendor.
ARANSAS HARBOR BUBBLE.
THE END OF KUSSFXI. HARBISON'S
GREAT FROJECT.
A Boom That Was Frodieious "While It
Lasted Fancy Prices for Town Lots
Now Activity Has Given Flace to
Quiet.
St. Louis, Oct. 6. The St. Louis JRcpuUic
prints a history ot the Aransas Harbor
scheme in which Kussell B. Harrison is
concerned. The correspondent, who writes
from Aransas Harbor, after having made a
thorough investigation of the matter, first
gives a brief history of the efforts to have a
first-class seaport at Aransas, reciting the
conventions held and the work done.
"As a consequence," he continued, "when
Russell B. Harrison's star combination
came along a year ago with the caravan of
'noted financiers, capitalists and prominent
statesmen,' and when they published in
tons of advertising literature and car
loads of printed pamphlets that they
would secure deep water at the pass and
built a great city at Aransas Harbor, no
body doubted their integrity or ability to
fulfill pledges, and in expectation of an
early boom everybody was roped into buy
ing town lots at 25 to CO times their real
worth."
The officers of the company were paraded
as follows: Russell B. Harrison, President,
New York; T. B. "Wheeler, (Lieutenant
Governor of Texas,) First Vice President
and General Agent; John "W. Rife, (Con
gressman,) Pennsylvania, Second Vice
President; A "W. DeBerry, (ex-Secretary
of the State of Texas,) Secretary; C. O.
Knowles, Kansas, Treasurer; B. H. AVilson,
Missouri, and C. A. Sanders, Missouri,
managers. In their circulars long lists of
prominent capitalists, financiers and states
men known on both sides of the ocean were
given. The correspondent describes how
Lieutenant Governor Wheeler opened the
sale of lots with agreat speech, and says:
'The people at first nibbled and bit. and
before the sale closed the second day they
had swallowed Aransas Harbor dirt to the
amount of 5120,000. The conditions of the
sale were: One-third cash, the balance in
one and two years with 6 per cent interest."
In passing it may be excusable to state
that, according to the advertisements
used to catch people outside the State and
which have gulled many, there were no less
than seven great railroads heading this way
and the man who put his money in the town
was sure to reap a rich harvest. We were
to have grand drives along the beach; a big
hotel, to cost $100,000; a national bank, an
electric light and power house, an ice house
and cold storage establishment, and all the
etceteras that go to make up a modern city.
Like the fabled capital of ?G,000,000, these
promises proved delusions. But the first
sale took place, and it was a pronounced
success.
"Land that cost tho comnany $6 CO per
acre netted it about 519, and with its 120,
000 in money and notes derived from tho
sale and the boom that had seemingly come
to stay, everything presented a roseate hue,
and 'Prince' Russell and his merry men
'the management' sighed for other worlds
to conquer."
"Will the matter end here? is now the
Question the Aransas Harbor Citr and Im
provement Company ought to take to its
bosom. Probably not, as it is reported that
the County Attorney is to report Russell
Harrison and his associates to the grand
jury with the view of having them in
dicted." BEENHABDT IN A BT0BM.
She Took the Drenchmcs of Old Neptune
Tilth Screams of Delight.
Some queer stories are told of Sarah
Bernhardt's voyage on the Mariposa, which
brought her to San Prancisco. One after
noon when great waves were breaking over'
the ship Bernhardt came from her room at
tired in a loose white wrapper. For half an
hour she clung to the rigging.her hair tossed
by the gale and her clothing whipped by
the wind about her limbs until she appeared
to be attired in tights. Every great wave
that dashed over the ship drenched her
completely, but she actually screamed with
delight. All nerves and emotion herself,
she was intoxicated with the tumult of the
elements in the midst of which she 'stood.
It was only when the waves began to carry
away boats and smash things generally
that she conld be persuaded to go to her
cabin. ,
On the upper deck of the Slariposa they
have a tank bath, where such of the male
passengers as desire may enjoy a plunge
once a day. The bath is a real luxury In
passing through the tropics, and the enthu
siastic descriptions of it by members of her
company so excited Bernhard that she de
termined to enjow it. Of course.Bernhard's
will was law on the JIariposa.and when she
told Captain Hayward that she was going
into the plunge the next morning the Cap
tain proceeded to make arrangements.
Pieces of sail cloth were stretched a short
distance away from either end of the
tank, extending from the rail to the
deck houses, and screening the tank from
view in all directions. The next morn
ing the tank was put in position and filled
at daylight, an hour earlier than usual.
Accompanied by her maid Mme. Bernhardt
stole around to the tank, and in a few min
utes the deck fairly rang with her laughter.
She splashed in the water like a porpoise
and declared that she never had had so
much fun. It was only by the mot per
sisted coaxing that the maid could get hor
mistresss to leave the tank in time to avoid
being seen by the men as they czs?e up from
their dip. All this, of course, was "buff"
bathing. Bathing suits are a nuisance in
that water, which is often as warm as 85
Fahrenheit.
PEIMIIIVE WHALE KILLING.
Indians in Washington Captnre Six Mon
sters In the Easiest Fashion.
San Francisco Examiner.
Last Friday, as the schooner Robert
Lewers, Captain Penhallow, from Hono
lulu, was entering Fuca Strait, she passed
five canoes filled with Indians, who were
attacking a whale in their primitive style.
The harpoons are fitted with a socket, into
which the harpoon staff of solid yew is in
serted. A lanyard about five fathoms long
has one end fastened to the harpoon head
and the other end secured to a buoy made of
hair sealskin taken off whole, with the hair
side in. The holes made by fhe flippers and
neck aro closed up air-tight, except that the
neck has a hollow wooden plug, through
which the Indian blows up the skin while
fresh and soft till it is full of air, and when

as a bladder.
In attacking a whale the harpoon is
driven into the blubber with great force,
and the staff ot the harpoon comes out of
the socket, leaving the barbed head firmly
fixed in the whale's carcass, with the skin
buoy floating on the other end of the lan
yard. The Indians get as many harpoons
into the whale as they can and the buovs
prevent him from sinking. The Indians
then kill the whale with their long lances
and when dead he is towed ashore and the
blubber and meat taken off and divided.
The Indians were whooping and yelling,
and finally the whale headed for the schoon
er and passed directly under her bottom,
buoys aud all, giving those on board a fine
chance to see the circus. "When the whale
again came up the Indians were ready with
their lances, and soon the water was dyed
with its blood, and before the Lewers had
got out of sight they had killed their huge
game, and all the canoes were fast to it,
towing it ashore, with songs and shouts of
victory.

WESLEY'S DISCIPLES.
Representatives of All Branches of
Methodism to Meet in
A- GREAT ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
Twenty-Xine Denominations of Two Conti
tinents to Assemble
FOR DISCUSSION, K0T FOR ACTION
"Washington, Oct. C To-morrow the
Ecumenical Methodist Council will begin
its sessions in this city. Once before in the
history of the Church, founded 100 years
ago in England by the "Wesley brothers,
have the branches springing off from the
parent stock come together, and, laying
aside all differences, listened to the sugges
tions of the best men of all divisions and
sought to find means to promote the com
mon cause. That was in London 10 years
ago, and so fruitful was the seed then sown
that it was resolved to reassemble for con
ference at the expiration of every decade.
The council which convenes here to-morrow
is, therefore, the second in the history
of the Methodist Church. All denomina
tions and branches of this great church in
all parts of the.world will be represented
by COO delegate's. No less than 200 of these
are expected to come from the British
division, the oldest wing of the Methodist
church, including in its rank;, besides
ecclesiastical dignitaries, many statesmen
of renown and men of world-wide scientific
and legal ability. There will also be dele
gates, representing 12 distinct branches of
Methodism, from Prance, Australia,
Ireland, South Africa and the "West Indies.
Then, more numerous in sectional division,
there will be 300 delegates from the New
"World. They represent 17 branches of the
Methodist Church in this continent. So 29
divisions of the Methodist Church will be
represented in the council.
Among the American church men are
many bishops. Among the English there
are none, as the office is unknown to them.
This council, like its predecessor, is to be
confined to discussions. From its nature
there can be no legislation. No delegate or
organization will be bound by what is said
or done here. The animating purpose is to
bring out the brightest nnd most practicable
ideas of the most thoughtful aud wisest rep
resentatives of the church, and the applica
tion of these ideas will be left to the dis
cretion of the separate divisions.
The most radical differences to be noted
between the coming council and the one
held in London is revealed in the list of
subjects selected for discussion. "Whole
days are set apart for the consideration of
questions relating to temperance, education,
missions, Romanism and social problems,
the issues between capital and labor, the re
lation of Methodism to scientific thought,
and practical church work.
Two hundred delegates from foreign
churches have arrived, and it is expected
that all of the delegates to the conierence
will be in the city to-morrow. To-night the
four permanent Secretaries of the confer
ence were chosen by the Business Commit
tee. They are the Rev. J. M. Kind, D. D.,
of New York; Rev. E. B. Ryckman, D. D.,
of Ottawa; Rev. John Bond, of London,
and Thomas Snape, of Liverpool.
ALCOHOL WITH DINNEES.
A Physl clan Says Claret Ig the Worst Form
in Which It Can Be Taken.
If you want to be healthy, wealthy and
all that sort of thing, stop drinking claret
with your meals, says Dr. S. T. Marcoe, of
New York. It is the worst enemy that di
gestion ever had. You would be a great
deal better off if you substituted neat
whisky or gin. Most people imagine they
can't digest their food without rendering it
mushy by pouring in a pint or more of
thick, ugly claret They are entirely mis
taken, and if they could look into their
stomachs half an hour after dinner they
would be horrified.
The majority of people drink claret be
cause it is the thing to do so. They don't
like it, and I doubt if they would drink it
did they inquire into the matter. It is un
wise to drink much of any liquor with your
meals, but decidedly dangerous to clrug
your food with claret. Good beer, Rhine
wine or champagne is better than claret;
nothing is worse.

TURNED OVER TO. THE CITY.
The Fourteenth Ward Station Bouse Com
pleted by the Contractor.
The new Fourteenth ward station, located
on Forbes street, just beyond Atwood
street, is completed at last. That is, the
the building proper is finished and the
painting done. This work was completed
yesterday, and the building was turned over
by the contractor to the city. To-day the
telephone and electric wires will be putin,
and then the work of furnishing the, build
ing will begin. This will take but a short
time, as the furniture, carpets, eta, are
ready, and a few days will suffice for this
work.
The new station has been in the course of
construction for nearly a year, the work
having been delayed from time to time by
strikes, etc. The new building is a very
handsome one, with rough stone front, and
will more than rival in beauty the Nine
teenth ward station, which is considered one
of the finest in the country. It is expected
that the new station will'be ready for occu
pancy in the course of a week or ten days at
the latest.
Boomers' Outfits Washed Away.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 6. The heavy rains
in Western Kansas have caused all the Ter

boomers camped along streams have lost
their horses, wagons and cattle. Over a
mile of the Santa Fe Railroad track is
washed out near "Wayne. The bridge at
Purcell is in great danger of being washed
away. "

cured. After three months' treatment from
the physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia
