WEEKLY GAZETTE Established 1870. For Terms, see Fourth Page. SPIRIT MEDIUMS. [Philadelphia Press.] Dr. Henry Slade, spirit medium, slate-writer and table-tipper, recently found himself in a large well-lighted room, surrounded by the learned men of the University of Pennsylvania, who were appointed under the will of the late Henry Seybert a commission to investigate modern spiritualism. In the presence of this distinguished jury Dr Slade performed his slate-writing trick, including this he takes two clean and apparently new slates, places them together with a scrap of pencil between, and holds them under the table. After an invocation of some sort, a scratching is heard, and when the slates were opened they were found covered with writing. After the performance, at which the learned members of the commission were much astonished, Slade was saked if he could or would, explain the phenomena which had just been witnessed. "No," he said nonchalantly, pulling his mustache. "I am merely the instrument, and know no more about it than you do. I should be glad to explain if I could but I cannot." One of the members then arose, and, thankking Dr. Slade for making the trip at the special request of the commission, proclaimed to count out to him $300 in criis wrote a lot of booth in the papers about how the committee had behold a light airy hand scar into the cabinet, do the slapping, and vanish. And those gentlemen actually believed that they had seen it." Keller said that all his clairvoyant results were reached by a system of key words, and that the answers from the spirit land were got by the medium having a good memory and the liberal use of mnemonics. "I have committed to memory," he added "whole strings of names and figures. For instance, I can tell the name in a moment of any horse that ever won the Derby. I have familiarized myself with descriptions of localities. It is not difficult at a science to turn the minds of your audience in a particular drift, so that you may be on familiar ground. This you do in a way so that they are totally unconscious of it." The endowment of a chair of mental and moral philosophy at the University by Henry Seybert, with the stipulation that spiritualism should be investigated in all its branches, caused widespread interest at the time the provisions of the will became known. The testator left an estate valued at $1,300,000. Large sums of money were bequeathed to various scientific and charitable societies. The sum which was to provide for the new chair of learning was $60,000. It was to be called the Adam Seybert chair, after the father of the deceased, who was a chemist and mineralogist. The story of Mr. Seybert's connection with spiritualism is an absorbing one. When he was 23 years of age he found himself an orphan with a fortune of $300,000, and without ties of any kind. He was absolutely free. By that time he had studied hard and made some noteworthy additions to the sum of knowledge in connection with the same produce spirit rapping in a way calculated to surprise the uninitiated. Penkniven it is said, hop about the room at his alight est nod and return to the starting point when he signifies his desire that they should do so. That such qualities as these should excite remark is hardly surprising. Exhibitions of this kind have been made by Slade in different parts of the world. No scientific man of any reputation have ever described what he does to supernatural forces though some have thought that he has some mechanical secrets of which the public are large are ignorant. In all that he does it is claimed that Slade always reserves an opportunity for trickery. Bells that ring at his seances never do so when they are upon a table within view of the audience. They must always be placed under the table, either entirely out of sight or in such a position as to be indistinctly and vaguely seen in a mirror. Slade is supposed to be the percipient of four-dimensional space. His followers claim the possibility of one solid passing through another. His manifestations include the total disappearance of objects, such as tables and books, the tying of knots in endless cords, the passing of unbroken wooden rings on to a table stem, when the rings could not possibly, as far as scientific knowledge goes now, have fitted over either the top or the legs of the piece of furniture. Kellar, the magician, says that this is but a clever trick, and that he can and will duplicate it before the commission, and also show them how to do it so that their value as parlor magicians will be as great, in that one particular, as his. A Girl Who Creaked When Hugged After the performance, at which the learned members of the commission were much astonished, Slade was asked if he could or would, explain the phenomena which had just been witnessed. "No," he said nonchalantly, pulling his mustache. "I am merely the instrument, and know no more about it than you do. I should be glad to explain if I could but I cannot." One of the members then arrose, and, thanks Dr. Slade for making the trip at the special request of the commission, proceeded to count out to him $300 in crisp new bills. Without any attempt to turn the notes into blank paper with the aid of spirits the medium took up his hat and returned to New York. He had given six private sciences, each of twenty minutes' duration, to the commission, for which he received the sum mentioned. During his stay here he remained in a private house, and every effort was made to keep his whereabouts a secret. The commission has been steadily engaged in pursuing the investigations, and much valuable material has been collected. Nearly all the local mediums have been examined, and even California has been reached in the effort to elucidate the truth. Kellar, the magician, will be the next person examined by the commission, and possibly Europe will be ransacked to furnish its medium. "If necessary," said a member of the commission, "we will go to Kamchatka. Our labors will probably occupy us three years longer, and at the conclusion we shall publish a large volume containing a full report of all that we have accomplished." Kellar, the magician, who is to appear before the commission, is not a spiritualist. He hangs at the notion, and asserts that everything he does is by sheer trickery and nothing else. He undertakes to duplicate any performance given by mediums, of whatever nature, after he has been allowed to see it done three times. He makes no secret of the way in which he accomplishes slate-writing. "I would rather not discuss this matter," he said yesterday to a Press reporter, "as the commission did not think it necessary to publish it, but since you appear to know so much about it, I don't mind giving you the facts. I have made arrangements to appear before the commission. I knew that Slade was here a week ago, and all I wanted was an opportunity to see his manifestations. I don't know much about him, but from what I am told, he is not by any means an extraordinarily bright man. There is nothing that he can do that I can't." "Spiritualists say that you are a medium, Mr. Kellar," said the reporter, "and that you are assisted at your performances by the spirits." "Neasense," the magician exclaimed, laughing. "That is all rubbish as far as my connection with the commission is concerned, for I am going to show them how all my trials are done, and they will be able to do them themselves with a little practise. There are as many different methods of slate-writing nowadays as there are of rolling off a leg. The medium perfect systems every day, but I keep up with them. One alate- at $1,200,000. Large sums of money were bequested to various scientific and charitable societies. The sum which was to provide for the new chair of learning was $60,000. It was to be called the Adam Seybert chair, after the father of the deceased, who was a chemist and mineralogist. The story of Mr. Seybert's connection with spiritualism is an absorbing one. When he was 23 years of age he found himself an orphan with a fortune of $300,000, and without ties of any kind. He was absolutely free. By that time he had studied hard and made some noteworthy additions to the sum of knowledge in connection with the same sciences that his father pursued. The influx of money, however, brought with it taste for leisure, and Seybert finding that there was no one to encourage him to stick to laboratory work, lapsed into comparative idleness for many years. He lived a good deal at Paris. At middle age he conceived the idea that he had a mission upon this earth in regard to spiritualism. This was after some association with mediums. Latterly he was very much agitated over the portions of Scripture which say that rich men shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. He thought it applied to himself, and took great pains to be convinced to the contrary, but somehow or other he retained the idea, and it had a strong influence over his whole life. It was this, more than anything else, that lead to his leaving so much of his estate to societies and to charity. The notion also possessed him that he ought not to spend much money upon himself. Many philanthropic notions possessed him. At one time he tried to arouse a sentiment in the community that soda and other mineral waters were preferable to alcoholic drinks. This did not meet with much enthusiasm, although Mr. Seybert spent both health and wealth in trying to impress it upon the public. At another time he really did succeed in raising the standard of baker's bread. It was he who gave the city clock and bell now in the steeple of Independence Hall. Mr. Seybert was one of the principal visitors of the Bliss spiritualistic tricksters, who were so completely exposed in this city. He was freely bleed, financially. He paid large sums of money for special sciences. On one occasion, when Mrs. Bliss had given birth to a child, whose father was alleged to be a denizen of another world, there was a spirit christening, at which a ghost acted as godmother. Mr. Seybert supplied the Bliss larDER plentifully with turkeys, fruit and wine, which were eagerly devoured at the christening by departed spirits in collusion with the Blisses and their friends. It transpired that the spirit godmother was personated by a Miss Helen Suyder, who afterward publicly confessed the part she played. The tarkey feathers were used to decorate the head of Red Cloud, a bogus Indian chief, said to make nightly visits to the Bliss residence. About the time the Blisses were exposed they were preparing to materialize, as they asserted, the spirit of the Virgin Mary for Mr. Seybert's delectation. The price of the scance was to be $100. When the conspirators were tried Mr. Seybert avoided service on the subpoena. and books, the tying of knots in endless cords, the passing of unbroken wooden rings on to a table stem, when the rings could not possibly as far as scientific knowledge goes now, have fitted ever either top or the legs of the piece of furniture. Kellar, the magician, says that this is but a clever trick, and that he can and will duplicate it before the commission, and also show them how to do it so that their value as parlor magicians will be as great, in that one particular, as his. A Girl Who Creaked When Hugged I know a pair of sweethearts who have four several weeks been on hugging terms; that is to say when they meet or part—and the conditions are favorable—the kiss of decorous love is accompanied by a momentary encirclement of the girl by his arms. "I noticed soon after this sort of thing began," she said in strict confidence to me, "that after each brief squeeze he became very serious; and at length he inquired about my health. He is a medical student, you know, and has learned something about anatomy, I suppose. Well, at length he got earnestly solicitous as to my bones—wanted to know if I felt nothing the matter with my ribs or collar-bone. "What on earth are you driving at?" I finally demanded. "Isn't my skeleton all right?" "I trust so, but I feel afraid not," he soberly replied. "Everytime I hug you I feel a strange displacement of your ribs, and sometimes hear a low creak, as though the bones were dislocated." "He went off with his brow corrugated, and I'll bet he spent half the night studying the books for a solution of the mystery." What was it? Why? I was wearing new stiff corsets, and when he hugged me the catches rubbed and creaked. I changed them and now he is delighted by the absence of the alarming symptoms." Seeking Divorce From A Femen The report of the Commissioner in the divorce case of Mary E. Gottung vs. George C. Gottung, has been submitted to Judge Flinn. The defendant is serving a ten year term in prison for the murder of his wife on the 9thof June, 1881, because of jealousy. During his incarceration in the San Francisco jail awaiting trial, he was visited by Miss Mary E. Willis and others. Miss Willis became deeply interested in the welfare of the prisoner, and passed many hours in his prison cell. They were married in the jail by a Justice of the Peace on the day he was sentenced, and a son was subsequently born to them, who died. How Money Accompanies Although three, four five or six cents seems very little for the use of a dollar for a year, it is surprising what a large sum amounts to when left for a number of years; as in the case of a Connecticut man who in 1838 commenced making deposits in a savings bank. His total deposits from that "Spiritualists say that you are a medium, Mr. Kellar," said the reporter, "and that you are assisted at your performances by the spirits." "Nonsense," the magician exclaimed, laughing. "That is all rubbish as far as my connection with the commission is concerned, for I am going to show them how all my tricks are done, and they will be able to do them themselves with a little practise. There are as many different methods of slate-writing nowadays as there are of rolling off a log. The medium perfect systems every day, but I keep up with them. One slate-writer floored me once for a little time, but I soon caught up, with him. How do you think he worked? Before coming to the scene he wrote out a sentence on a slate in tar carbon, a material that on a dark surface is invisible and will bear any amount of washing without coming away. When he put the slates together he burst between them a little capsule of pure hydrogen and then quickly closed them. The gas combining with the tar carbon made the writing plain. "Slade holds the slate in his hands under the table. Now, if his fingers are in contact with it, and there is no supervision over the hand, as there isn't, it is simple for him to write. Did you ever see the thimble slate-writer?" The reporter admitted that he never had Mr. Kellar thusapon produced a thimble dangling on the end of a piece of elastic. On the outside tip of the thimble was a small piece of slate pencil. The magician rapidly attached the end of the elastic to the inside of his sleeve, about four inches from the cuff. The thimble spring up the sleeve at once. Then Kellar showed how slate-writers, with a little practice, could adjust the thimble to a finger, while their hands are under the table, and then write. When they are through with the thimble and penil they let it go, and it disappears. Then the writing is produced. "I'm a trickster by trade." Kellar went on, "and I have learned to deceive the public. What medium do is always tangled by their mystified duplex. I remember once when I was travelling with the Davenport brothers. The brothers were accurately, as people thought, tied to chairs, in a double cabined, and a committee were examining the knots to make sure. Suddenly one of them disengaged his hand from the repeal, slapped one of the committee over the eye, and rapidly replaced it. Next day Dion Boudinault, who was one of the number, it transpired that the spirit godmother was personated by a Miss Helen Snyder, who afterward publicly confessed the part she played. The tarkey feathers were used to decorate the head of Red Cloud, a bogus Indian chief, said to make nightly visits to the Bliese residence. About the time the Bliese were exposed they were preparing to materialize, as they asserted, the spirit of the Virgin Mary for Mr. Seybert's deduction. The price of the scence was to be $100. When the conspirators were tried Mr. Seybert avoided service on the subpoena, and in consequence of his great age it was not pressed. His valet testified that he had transported the poultry to the Bliese mansion. It was not known whether his faith was shaken by the exposure of the swindlers. When he died he left the bequest mentioned, and asked that his body be oremated at the Lemoyne Crematory at Washington, Pennsylvania. Dr. Henry Slade, the medium who has been posing before the Seybert commission and so thoroughly mystifying some of its members, has a world-wide reputation for his spiritualistic feats. About seven years ago he sprang into prominence, in the Bowstreet Police Court, London, where he was charged with using "snake crafts and devices by palmistry or otherwise" to deceive Prof. R. R. Lankester and others. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labor, but the conviction was afterward quashed on account of an error. Dr. Slade subsequently left England, and the prosecution has not been renewed. The circumstances of the scence, to whose guarnances Lankester took exceptions, were as follows: He visited Slade twice. The first time he thought he detected a motion of his arm, and assumed that the writing was done with a little piece of pencil stuck in the nail of one of his fingers. On the occasion of the second visit the Professor was accompanied by a friend, who agreed with his theory. They grabbed the slate from Slade's hand as soon as it was placed against the table for another message, and found writing already upon it. The verdict of the spiritualist who still asserted the guarnances of the manifestations, was that the Doctor had been unjustly condemned—"a victim of his accusation" and his judge's limited knowledge." Slade, it is alleged, possesses strange magnetic powers. He is able by waving his hand at the needle of a compass, he makes it jump about in a very cumulatious manner. They were married in the jail by a Justice of the Peace on the day he was sentenced, and a son was subsequently born to them, who died. How Money Accumulates Although three, four, five or six cents seems very little for the use of a dollar for a year, it is surprising what a large sum it amounts to when left for a number of years, as in the case of a Connecticut man who in 1838 commenced making deposits in a savings bank. His total deposits from that date until 1885 amounted to $1,962.25. Between 1838 and 1858 he drew from the bank $1,270.70; and yet, a few days since, on having his bank book written up and balanced, he was found to have a balance on deposit amounting to $11,273.33. Get Worship. Those who regard themselves as victims of catwailing here may take consolation in this thought that they would have had a worse time in ancient Egypt. A recent writer says that cat worship was carried to its greatest extent by the ancient Egyptians, whose devotion to their pets was such that according to Herodotus, when a fire broke out they cared for nothing but the safety of their cats, and were terribly afflicted if one of them fell a victim to the flames. On the death of a cat the inhabitants of the house shaved off their eyebrows, and the demand cat was embalmed and buried with great nolemity in a sacred spot. Many catummines have been found in the Egyptian tombs and come are to be seen in the British Museum, together with similarly preserved specimens of human beings and of sacred calves. Their movements and their cries were consulted as oracles, and the murder, or even the accidental telicide of one of them, was punished by death. This invites us to examine that ratio of increase could surely have been the same in this country, or cats would have assumed the proportion of one of the plagues of Egypt. The Weather: Lieut. Charles W. Minkin, Portland, Kg., states: "For twenty years I suffered with rheumatism. During the bad weather my suffering was terrible. I was about to give up. Some can suggest an application at St.John's Oak. I failed in and his sufferer was much ill but he never gave up."

The Croaked When Hugged HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Cinnamon Cookies.—Cinnamon cookies are made of two cups of white sugar, two eggs, one cup of butter, one teaspoonful of soda, six tablespoonfuls of cold water, with flour enough that will make a dough that will be soft yet smooth; roll it eat quite thin and scatter cinnamon over it; then roll it up as if you were making roll-jelly-cake; since off with a sharp knife and bake. Before these cakes are baked they should be about one-third of an inch thick. Salad Dressing.—The best known and probably the most popular salad dressing is made in this way: Stir the yolk of a raw egg for a minute or two; then add oil, until the mixture is thick and waxy; this is the only safe rule to go by; then thin it with vinegar, or with vinegar and lemon juice; season with salt, pepper, mustard, etc., to suit your taste. The well-beaten white of an egg is thought to be a good addition by some salad makers. Olives chopped quite fine add a peculiar, and to many jam agreeable flavor. Rice and Fruit Pudding.—Steam one scant cup of rice in two cups of boiling water, in the double boiler, thirty minutes. Add while hot one tablespoonful of butter, one scant teaspoonful of salt, one beaten egg and half a cup of sugar. Cook five minutes. Butter a plain pudding-mold, sprinkle it with breadcrumbs, or line with maccaroona. Put in a layer of rice half an inch thick, then a layer of apricots, or peaches or pineapple, then rice, fruit, etc., till the mold is full, having crumbs on the top. Bake twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Turn out on a platter, and serve with boiled custard flavored with vanilla or with apricot sauce. STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. In the discussion regarding pruning, at a recent meeting of the society, it was held that young trees should be cut down to a length of between six and twenty inches when set out, to ensure a healthy growth and render it possible for the top to shade the trunk. The thinner the soil the clearer should be the pruning. An open top is to be desired, since it renders the picking much easier; therefore, trees should be pruned "out." In transferring trees some of the branches should be looped off as an effect to the unavoidable loss of few roots. Laxurliousness of foliage should be encouraged, as the trees draw not only breath but also food from the atmosphere. Pruning shears were considered preferable to knives, as their use avoids straining the limbs. Mr. Shinn favored rather longer pruning of shoots intended for planting than some of the speakers, believing that the buds near the ground were partially dormant. Mr. Pryall also thought longer shoots advisable. Upon the close of the discussion, Mr. Klee, who went to New Orleans in charge of the Pacific Coast exhibition of fruit and ornamental trees, related some of the difficulties he had to contend with in consequence of the excessive dampness of the soil at the Exposition. He thought, however, he had succeeded in getting up a creditable exhibition. Altogether, he took nine carloads of fruit trees and shrubbery to New Orleans. Three Unlucky Fridays Pocono, Pa., Feb. 23.—Jim Groves of Shadesville, aged 12 years, believes that Friday is an unlucky day. On the Friday before Christmas he went out hunting rabbits.

Cornmeal Breakfast Rolls.—One and a half pints of flour, half a pint of white cornmeal, one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one tablespoonful of butter, three-fourths of a pint of milk. Sift together flour, cornmeal, salt and powder; to the butter, cold, add the milk, and mix smoothly into a rather firmer dough than usual. Flour the board, turn out the dough, give it one or two turns to complete its smoothness. Divide it thus prepared into pieces the size of an egg; divide these in halves, which roll out under the hand until they are long and half the size of one's little finger, lay on a greased baking tin, so they do not touch each other, wash them over wjish milk, and bake them in a quick oven seven or eight minutes. English Stew.—Take a piece of beef—the rump is the best for this purpose—cut about three pounds of it into small pieces, throwing out the fat. Now make a good stock by dissolving four ounces of Johnston's Fluid Beef in one quart of water. Put this into a stew-pan with the beef and let it stew for two hours. Then season to taste with cayenne pepper and salt, and add the grated rind of a lemon and the juice of half of it, a tablespoonful of rice flour smoothly mixed with three tablespoonfuls of mushroom ketchup, a teaspoonful of soy and a teaspoonful of Lea & Perrina' Worcester-shire sauce. Then add a glass of port wine and allow the contents to stew gently for fifteen minutes more, when they may be dished up and served. An Ancient Colony. More than 200 years have elapsed since the first German colony was planted on the West Coast of Africa. In 1681 a piratical adventurer named Benjamin Raule persuaded the Great Elector to sanction an expedition to Guinea under the Brandenburg flag. Raule landed near Cape Three Points, a few miles to the west of Cape Coast Castle, made a treaty with the natives, who engaged to acknowledge the Elector as their suzerain, and, for a slight consideration, obtained a grant of land. In 1682, upon the strength of this, the German African Company was formed, one of the shareholders being the Elector himself, and in 1683 Major Von Groeben, the representative of the home government, built a fort, which he called Gross Friedrichsburg. In 1684 a negro embassy appeared in Berlin, and Von Groeben, who accompanied the mission, created a great sensation at the Court of Brandenburg by presenting his negro wife to his overseer.

Three Unlucky Fridays Pocono, Pa., Feb. 23.—Jim Groves of Shadesville, aged 12 years, believes that Friday is an unlucky day. On the Friday before Christmas he went out hunting rabbits. In climbing over a fence one barrel of his gun was discharged. Part of the load went through his foot, taking off the big toe and the next two toes to it. On the Friday before New Year's a number of his schoolmates were shooting at a mark near his home. He was unable to get out and join in the sport. One of the boys came to borrow his gun. He was showing the boy how to work at the breech when a cartridge was exploded, and three fingers on Jim's left hand were taken off, and the boy whom he was instructing in the management of the gun had one of his eyes put out. Young Grove had not ventured out with his gun since until last Friday. Then his mother wanted some chickens killed, and he took his gun and went out to knock them over for her. He climbed on the barnyard fence, and sitting on the top rail, fired at a chinken. The recoil of the gun was so great that it knocked him off the fence. He fell on a stone and broke his right arm at the elbow. The Milky Way. Boston Bulletin: Bad name for a milkman—Gottschalk. New Orleans Picayune: Watering milk is a misdemeanor in New York State. Laws are so loosely administered, however, that the statute gives very little rest to the pump handle. Detroit Free Press: Elmira, N. Y., has fined a milkman $25 for putting one quart of water and three of milk together and shaking 'em up as a gallon of creamy liquid. A milkman can go too far. Boston Times: A farmer who has been taking summer boarders this season and treating them like members of his own family was reproached the other day for watering his milk. With a burning gaze he replied to this reflection as follows: "Do you take me for a creamatory?" Chicago News: Sardon hired a house in the country to pass the last summer, and went in search of a farmer, who had a milch cow. Having found one, he said: "My good man, my servant will come every morning to buy a pint of milk." "All right, it is eight sous." "But I want pure milk—very pure." "In that case it is ten sous." "You will milk it in the presence of my servant?" "Then it is fifteen sous." Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph: The milkman is being neglected, and he feels it keenly.
