THE BATTLE OUT OF THE KNOTS—GETTING FEATHER WAND VOL. 24. NO. 8. SPOOK TRADE Spiritualism Out of the Doldrum Mecca. Spiritualism is out of the doldroms again, and is sailing before a stiff breeze after the period of depressing calm which followed its decline in Brooklyn. The center of activity is shifting again to Manhattan, and the exponents of the art of materializing spirits are coming from up the country and from neighboring cities to fill the wants of the ever credulous for manifestations from the world beyond. Most of the newly arrived medians are crude in their methods, and many are of the old-line variety, who have learned nothing except the simple tricks of the 60's, yet they are apparently coinning money and are finding those in the upper regions of Manhattan who are only too glad to believe in all that they profess. Simple as the "wonders" are which they perform when one is familiar with the mechanical principles involved, the gibb tongued spook guardians who have recently arrived in New York are not lacking in the gift of persuasive speech and the impressiveness of manner. Everybody can be his own medium and entertain his friends by bearing in mind how easily acquired rules and making it a gift expenditure for apparatus. Indeed, home-made materials can be employed by one who is fairly insensitive. It is well to construct a spirit-cabinet, for a few sticks of wood and a few yards of black cloth are all that is necessary. For impromptu exhibitions the back parlor will do very well, after labels and papers and seals have been impressively placed on doors and windows and transoms to show that no human agency has been called upon to intervene in causing the ghosts to walk. Between the front and back parlor or any other two rooms may be hung a black curtain. No light is allowed in the rear room, and in the front apartment one jet turned low is required. It is better to have a dim light in a room adjoining the front apartment in which the spectators are assembled. Then, enter the medium! It is well to practice the deceptions for at least a week in advance if one is only beginning his interesting career. Most mediums insist upon being tied by a comma. Only tyros and the freestlief kind of comma themselves, for it does not look well and is a shock even to the most trusting. There are from fifty to sixty ropeying tricks. The medium insists upon being bound by the committee, but he always handles one of the rope himself, and all the knots which are made are fashioned into slip knots, for no other kind can be tied under mediastatic conditions. Not only is the committee, by the manner of the holding of the cord, comfortable to tie slip knots, but the medium is all the while stealing "block." Having thus completed the tying, the next processes are largely theatrical. Directions have been given to those without to join hands in a circle and sing something of a slow and solemn meter. If there are believers present a hymn is preferable. Anything sad, however, will answer the same purpose. The joining of the hands is a guarantee that there, will be no interference with the manifestation. Holding of hands may be especially interesting to some of the spectators, and may attract their attention to each other and keep them from too closely following the details of the seance. Suppose, then, that the medium has his hands bound to his knees. He first gives some simple manifestations, such as writing on a pad of paper. The OUT OF THE KNOTS—GET A Bit of Limited. The inquisitive visitor to the studio of the famous but crochety artist pro-pounded the query, "What do you mix your colors with?" "With brains, sir," replied the painter in dignified tones. "Ah," commented the visitor, "so you paint miniatures."—Pearson's Weekly. You, too, can be, if you but try, A human clinder. seraching of the pencil may be heard by the circle without and presently a message futters over the top of the curtain. He has simply taken his hands out of the loosedenose, written his message and wound them up in a circle, and then there he is in a trance, with his writings reddening under the straining cords. Next, the medium, still bound, invites a man and a woman into the cabinet. He directs them to join hands by intertwining their fingers. One pair of assorted hands is placed upon his head as he sits in the chair, while the other pair is held at arm's length before his face. The four hands of the persons who make the test are thus occupied. Immediately the medium begins to groan and wriggle and calls upon the two to press their hands the more gently upon his head. The movement of his body under the influence of the spirit causes the purpose of preventing any one succeeding that he is very rapidly manipulating one of his hands. Presently the subjects find that some one is slipping and tugging at shirt and coat, putting their hands or stroking their faces. The effect is uncanny in the extreme. It will be noted that in all really successful demonstrations of this kind the medium insists upon a man and a woman being in the cabinet and places them at such an angle that only one of them would be likely to intercept his hands if both felt disposed to do so. Very little practice will enable a person of agility to perform the co-pulling tricks with agility. Materializations may be accomplished by the operator from behind the hands with a few bits of apparatus, which may be purchased or improvised. Two or three false faces on covered, covered with a obstructive paint, will be found to be of no service. Robes and mantles of thin gauze coated in the same manner can also be employed to advantage.

Even an ordinary sheet in the hands of a skilled medium may be made to do wonders without any other aid. The fabric is thrown over the left arm, the right arm is raised and the operator, while the right arm makes the apparation fat or thin by merely drawing the right arm in or out. Spirits of all sizes are easily produced by raising or lowering the indistinct mass made by the sheet, and they can be made to disappear by slowly dropping it to the floor and then kicking it under the curtain of the cabinet. Various mechanical apparatus are used to make the expansive for ordinary practice.

In all form manifestations where there is a company present, it is neces- sary always to maintain the "battery" by the joining of hands. Private seances which are given in the dark afford the expert medium many more opportunities to deceive NG THE MEDIUM. the sitter. For instance, he may be sitting clasping the hands of his patron across the table when there will suddenly appear a white spirit hand from above the edge of the table. The extra members is fastened to the toe of the medium's shoe. One of the clever impostures perpetrated on the rapt circle is the descending of a heavy booted spork from the regions above. Under cover of the darkness the medium merely removes his shoes and puts them on his hands. Phantom hands which fit hither and thither about the room in the dark form a bewildering illusion. The mysterious member which seems to have only a part of a glistening white arm is that of an accomplice or the medium himself. The man is dressed in black tights, and his body and limbs are covered, with the exception of the arm which has been coated with phosphorescent paint. There are establishments scattered through the United States where spokes for spiritualistic seances are made on a large scale. A really mysterious spirit cabinet can be obtained for $75, while the spirit cord, all presumably costs $2. A good talking head costs $10. A spirit tie may be made for $150, and it has a knot studded with nails, and applicances for materializing a dozen spirit forms at once on the floor to full-sized forms for $55. Tables capable of being offered by the best spook factories for $25. Tables capable of being unseen in powers cost only $25. But, after all, these are not necessary to an ordinary seance as long as the medium has moderate skill, glibness of speech and audacity. "I don't know that man," said Miss Vane, "but he's been telling every one how wonderfully fresh my complexion is." "Yes?" replied Miss Cutting. "Perhaps he's an agent for it."—Philadelphia Press.

"Tetanus antitoxin is prepared from horses in the same way as diphtheria antitoxin, except that they are injected with tetanus instead of diphtheria poison. The horses suffer very little from these injections. Tetanus antitoxin has its greatest use in the prevention of tetanus, or lockjaw, as it is often too late to be of use when given in a case that has developed. On the Fourth of July all the hospitals and dispensaries immunize the wounds that occur, and in this way instead of some thirty or forty cases each year we now have but two or three. Tetanus antitoxin is also used to prevent tetanus in horses after operations. "The other sera used in the treatment of diseases are still largely experimental, and only one horse is used for each disease. Thus one horse produces an anti-typhoid serum, one an anti-rabie serum. For diphtheria we commonly use twelve or fifteen horses, for tetanus two or three horses. This tetanus is placed in a suitable percentage of all the diphtheria so that any physician can get or lose an oryx or sylringe of antitoxin, free of expense if the people find it a hardship to pay, otherwise a moderate charge is made. "After diphtheria and tetanus antitoxin, the greatest number of animals are used for the development of the Pasteur treatment. About thirty persons are treated daily who have been infected by rabid dogs. About half of these are treated at the laboratory; the other half are treated throughout the Eastern United 10 THE NEW YORK TIMES INJECTING TOXING INTO A GUINEA-PIG...

Page Defective Page "There are more vivisections performed under the authority of the city of New York and by employees of the city than in all the private institutions in that vicinity, and I have yet to hear of a case of cruelty or brutality in connection with them," said Health Commissioner Darlington. "Go down to the street and see for yourself. Take a camera along and photograph them. If it doesn't get to Dr. Park to tell you all about their Vivisection may be brutal and cruel in some places, but not here. We think we have done a great deal of good through experiments on living animals, and that the animal's lives are well lost in the search for relief from human suffering." When Dr. Darlington extended the foregoing trink invitation to a reporter it was immediately accepted. He was by photographer, he went to the foot of the Sixteenth street, and after hunting around in the labyrinth of alleyes that run in and out behind the Willard Parker hospital for contagious diseases came upon a five-story brick building labeled "Research Laboratory," and went in. There were other brick buildings up the same alley, and once a man in a long white apron flecked with blood stains came out of a door, so the reporter felt sure he was close to the place where the vivisectionists work. "And Park, who didn't look at a like a cold man, cruelhearted monster, smiled a welcome. When he learned the reporter's errand he smiled more.

"First I'll tell you just what we do here and what we do it for, so you'll know the objects of our vivisections; and let me say in the first place that not a single animal has ever been experimented on here for the purpose of satisfying curiosity or to find out something we already knew. There is but one excuse for this work, and that is to benefit the human race, and we believe we have done something along that line and to expect to do some more. "Our principal work is the production of protective sera, and of these the most important product is the diphtheria anti-toxin. By the use of diphtheria anti toxin the actual number of cases of diphtheria in New York is now 10, it was ten years ago, and the number of death use is only one-quarter. The preventive anti toxin is only in its infancy but ninety per cent of all cases receive it in treatment. If it were used as extensively in prevention, the amount of diphtheria would certainly be cut in half. "About ten thousand cases are treated with antitoxin each year, and probably about 5,000 people in families in which diphtheria occurs are injected to prevent diphtheria. Each case has about two doses, or about 5,000 units for each case. The unit is the amount of antitoxin which neutralizes one hundred fatal doses of diphtheria poison for a guinea pig. "in order to estimate the amount of antitoxin in any quantity of serum it is absolutely necessary to test it upon a guinea pig, for no one knows as yet the chemical nature of antitoxin, nor no chemist can tell in the slightest whether any is present in a fluid.

About 300 guinea pigs a year are used in this way. Bacillus are found in about 3 per cent of the samples of New York milk. "Other animals in small numbers are used for experimental work, which is undertaken with the idea of finding out the bacteria which are still unknown, or producing protective sera or vaccines, which have not yet become successful. Thus we developed the method of purifying antitoxin, which has now been adopted throughout the United States, and the method of the quick diagnosis of rabies, so that now in fifteen minutes we can determine whether a dog was rabied by a simple microscopic examination. In this way, although a few hundred guinea pigs were used to discover the method, we are now able to avoid the use of animals and save time and expense. "During the last year studies have been made upon glanders in horses and methods of diagnosis have been perfected, and human beings through vaccines it will be possible to prevent the development of this disease.

Elevators in Public Buildings Run Mainly for Their Convenience—Amusing Point in Contest for Senate Reading Clerk. “There are many wrinkles in official life in Washington which afford those who are acquainted with them a certain amount of amusement,” said a local newspaper correspondent, “and one of the funniest, from the standpoint of those not interested directly, has been the contest for the selection of the reading clerk to the senate. “That the official whose duty it is to decide the question as to the fortune, man who would pull down the plum, after listening to the varying voices of the 80 contestants, was obliged to take a rest for a few days to recover his normal condition can be readily understood by all who are familiar with such things at the capitol. “But that he should have found three members of the nation's highest law-making body who were requested to act as a committee to determine the merits of the respective contestants, who had not made a recommendation for the vacancy in question to act as a committee it is unusual in that not a single voter could be found who had not made a recommendation. "As a rule, when a vacancy occurs at either end of the capitol, the difficulty senators and representatives have is in deciding which one of the dozens of applicants shall be shown the preference of a recommendation. This selecting committee of three will go down in capitol history as unique. "Official authority in the departments is thrust upon one at every angle of the corridors and rooms of these big buildings and forms barriers over which both the initiated and the unwary stumble, but it is seldom that it penetrates into the elevators. "I happened in one of the elevators of one of the larger department buildings the other day. It was at an hour when the car was crowded with clerks going to paint. After the door had been shut and the car had ascended almost to the first floor came a violent ring at the bell and the conductor, reversing the lever, dropped back like a shot to the ground floor, took in another passenger and jumped the car to the fifth floor, where the late comer alighted. Then the car slowly descended, floor by floor, to permit the wrathful clerks to get out. "The hurry-up passenger happened to be one of a half-dozen or so bureau officers, whose official authority gives them the right to make a runaway trip with any elevator they happen to strike, irrespective of the corridor destinations of the rest of the passengers, but the scene and sensations of being whisked past your floor, despite your calls to the elevator man, were more aggravating than amusing.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1908 "NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?" Chicago has taken the lead in a direction which all law and order advocates will favor and which we would like to see extend all over the country as the "lid" movement has. This week the Board of Aldermen voted favorably upon three ordinances designed to put an end to the carrying of deadly weapons. One of the ordinances obligates the city custodian every six months to take all weapons that come into his possession and dump them into the lake at least five miles from shore. Another ordinance requires dealers in weapons to pay a license of $50 a year, and the third forbids anybody to carry a weapon unless he is a sheriff, constable, policeman or coroner. Even persons with collections of weapons—firearms and swords or daggers, antique or modern—must take out a license under these new ordinances. The new ordinance places the ban on these weapons: Pistols, bowie knives, metal knuckles, revolvers, dirks, derringers, slungshots. There is no provision against rifles, [Picture of a man with a white beard and a dark suit, looking to the right.] HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM.

Senior Senator From Illinois, Who Has Offered Amendment to Appropriation Bill Making Appropriations Nearly $2,000,000 for Consular Buildings in the East. In accordance with recommendations by Secretary of State Root, amendments to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill were presented Monday by Senator Cullom making appropriations for buildings for the consular service in the Far East. One omnibus amendment authorizes expenditures not to exceed $1,373,643 in China, Japan and Korea, and another not to exceed $500,000 for land and buildings at Shanghai. The ordinances make it unlawful to purchase, own, borrow any of these weapons without a license, but even with a license they may not be carried. It seems pretty well settled that anarchists killed the King of Portugal and the Crown Prince. They also assassinated Alexander II. of Russia and King Humbert of Italy. Not content with thus expressing their hatred of monarchies, they came over the ocean and destroyed President McKinley as they had President Garfield. Republics and monarchies alike fall under the ban of their murderous hatred. Thus and truly, reasons the Washington Post. But it must be remembered that the good people who are horrified by the horrible deeds of the anarchists often aid in producing the conditions which enable the anarchists to carry out their designs. Every man who defends the killing, unlawfully, of a human being is an ally of the anarchist. Every newspaper which justifies lynching in the South is lending the anarchist aid and comfort. Every politician who favors the "unwritten law," favors the very law which the anarchist executes. And, finally, every individual who attempts to obstruct the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by the humblest of his fellows has within him the germ of anarchy. Senator Tillman recently met Mr. Rockefeller and strange to say did not find it necessary to pitchfork the multi-millionaire, nor did the octopus degilitate the senator.

Accorded to the terms of the bill, the hall is to protect "the humble-water-worn log cemetery" which Abraham Lincoln was born and all such other relics as tell the story of out of which Lincoln came." The memorials are to be dedicated in 1900, the centennial of the birth of Lincoln. It is stated in the bill that $100,000 already has been raised by the association. shotguns, or cannon. ANARCHY.

Educating the "hill billies" is the only means of breaking up the solid stolid South. The little old rotten borough of Portugal seems to be going to "the demnition bow-wows." The king and his oldest son having been killed by a long suffering people, the boss Franco being put to flight and the general condition being one of double, double toil and trouble. While the other rulers have gone through with the usual conventionalities, we fail to see that the status quo has cast much gloom either at home or abroad. By their horrible cruelties in Africa, especially on the Cocos Islands, the Portuguese seem to have been heaping up wrath unto the day of wrath, which has come upon them. "God's dice are always loaded" says the old Greek dramatist. The following account of the manner in which the Portuguese civilize and Christianize a portion of Africa is given upon excellent authority: Chiefs of powerful Kaffir tribes are hired by Portuguese slave traders to war on the weaker tribes. Men, women and children are captured and turned over to the slave traders for arms and ammunition. Then a mass of the captured are stood in the public square, a Portuguese official reels off rapidly in Portuguese the form of a contract which binds them to labor three years for 50 cents a month on the Cocoa Islands, where the climate is murderous. The Africans do not know a word of Portuguese, and are decoyed by black servants of the slave dealers into shouting "yes" when the question is put to them if they agree to the form of the contract. None ever returns from the Cocoa Islands. Recently, the city of Richmond, in the more or less grand old common- PORTUGAL. wealth of Virginia, needed some money very badly. It tried every white bank in the city for a loan and was about to give up in despair, when some one suggested that the "nigger bank" be asked for funds. Surprised but gratified they were told they could have the funds. The bank in question was The True Reformer's Bank. The Associated Press did not notice the incident, as it was of much less importance than an alleged assault case or even a raid upon a chicken coop. Those state which have tried the Primary system have found out that it fails to banish all political evils. We know of a Southern community in which the Baptists are assailing old Satan in front, while the Methodists are twisting his tail in the rear; they have imported foreign evangelists who are casting out devils and doing many other wonderful works. They are converting the vilest class of non-political sinners, but they cannot stop the Democratic brethren from cheating each other in the primaries. Our southern brethren ought to notice the fact that the Austrian government has issued circulars warning its subjects to beware of the South on account of the peonage existing in that section. Italy has done the same thing. But it seems that the South takes special pride in devising plans to make itself a stink in the nostrils of the world. The temperance wave is still raging over the country. The latest is an order by the Pullman company, prohibiting the sale of liquor on its cars on one of the big eastern roads. If it works all right on that road the order will be extended to other roads. ```markdown ``` G. P. GEORGE WASHINGTON, The Father of His Country Whose Birthday Anniversary Occurs Today.

They report that the rise in the river caused its water to get so muddy that the fish were forced to the top in order to get air, as the water was too impure to allow them to breathe sufficiently. The negroes report that they took sacks, nets and in some instances used merely their hands to scoop the fish out onto the banks of the stream.

VICTIM OF RIDING TEST. Major in Army Ordered Before Retiring Board. Maj. John R. Lynch, of the Pay Corps, one of the few Afro-Americans holding commissions in the army, has been ordered before a retiring board in the Philippine Islands, where he is stationed. Maj. Lynch is chief payman of the department of the Visayas, with headquarters at Iloilo. Maj. Lynch is a victim of the recent horsemanship test in the Philippines. LEG Mai, Lynch was born in Concordia Parish, La., on September 10, 1847. After serving in the Mississippi State legislature, he was elected to the House of Representatives in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses. In the Forty-fifth Congress he was again elected, but is said to have been counted out. He was later appointed Fourth Auditor of the Treasury Department by President Harrison. During the Spanish war he served in the volunteer establishment as a major and paymaster. A Sweeping Assertion A Canon City paper makes a sweeping assertion in this week's issue.

P. P. Thrives Everywhere and in Favor With Highest and Lowest The onion need have no fears. Its position is secure. Born of the lily family, probably in Asia in the far-off centuries, it grows all over the world. It was well known to the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings and in Pentateuch. When the Israelites in the wilderness grew weary of manna they sighed for the good things they had left behind and they distressed Moses when they lifted their voices in weeping and cried: "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes." It was not so much the fleshpots of Egypt that they signed for as for the succulent leek, the pungent onion, the odorous garlic. The onion is the Welsh national emblem. In Spain and Italy garlic, which is merely a condensed onion, enters into nearly all dishes of both the rich and poor. The onion thrives in Siberia and in Honduras. It flourishes on the Nile and on the Mississippi. It was the favorite with the Ptolemies of ancient Egypt and it finds favor with the highest and the lowest in Macon and Charlotte. The Lady of Shalot died of a broken heart because she ha' to give up either onions or her lover. Her lover was one of those finnicky fellows who objected to the odor of onions and she would not give up the shalot. The onion is all right. It never seeks to conceal itself. It is about the only thing in hash in which one can have confidence. — Nashville American.

There are many burlesque troupes on the road today that boast of originality, but when things are brought to a fine point it is quickly discovered that all the so-called novelties are merely poor imitations of those that have done excellent service on the stage years and years before. "The Americans," which is to hold the boards at the Star Theater next week, is one of those shows that entirely different from its competitors. Consequently it is only natural that it should attain the success it has thus far. In the first place "The Americans" present a screamingly funny two-act musical comedy entitled "Mixed Pickles" that keeps the comedians on the go from start to finish. The musical numbers are very light and of the kind that are easy to whistle. The company includes such clever people as Will H. Ward, the happy Dutchman; Wilbur Dobbs, the famous funmaker; the Two Graces, Comedy Four; exponents of fun and harmony; Mlle Mozelle, Europe's latest sensation; Sisters La Tour, comediennes, and a score of show girls. Mr. A. K. Clark, the progressive proprietor of the Kendrick Restaurant, has secured new quarters at 156 E. Third street, where he will on next Monday open a first-class hotel and cafe. The hotel has 30 rooms, steam heated, and has all modern conveniences. There will be private dining rooms on the second floor, while the cafe will be devoted to the cafe, where meals may be served all hours. There will be a regular dinner from 12 to 2:30 at 25 cents. Old and new patrons are cordially invited. THE STATE SAVINGS BANK. Tetal Deposits. $3,000,000—Surplus Fund. $60,000.
