HYSLOP CLAIMS HE TALKSJO SPIRIT Of the Late Prof. William James, the Psychologist of Harvard.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19. With the positive statement that he has held heveral con vernations with the spirit of the late Professor William James, the jisychologlrtt of Harvard, James B. Hyslop, secretary of the American AHHodatlon for Physical reHearch. has returned from Boston to New York with important material collected in a series of recent experiments. "I can say nothing more now," Professor Hyslop said, "except that 1 have talked with the spirit of Professor James. "I have talked with it several times In the last year. What the spirit said 1 am not ready to divulge. They have been trying over In England since Professor James died, to get in touch with his spirit, but from what I have heard, however, had no success." Professor Hyslop declared he Is Vjuite positive as to his facts, and will make his proofs public within a short time. "It would require volumes," said Professor Hyslop, ' to detail just how I communicated with the dead and to prove that I did so; yet the fact remains that I have now proved that the souls of men and women of lit tie children, in fact who have gone before are capable of communicating to us as they please. In greater or less degree they are capable of making1 us know their presence. This is not spiritualism but spiritism." Asked in a general way how he would proceed to establish the iden tity of a communicating soul, Professor Hyslop said: "It is accomplished In a way similar to they way of living. For example, I might go to London and wire a friend a year later that I wanted to borrow $50, but the friend might say I was dead and I would have to establish my Identity. I could easily do this by telling him what we had done the last time we met. "Souls or spirits of the departed take a similar course. They may turn somersaults; so do we. We are surrounded all the time by millions and billions of of souls freed from their earthly casings. Not all of them are always present, yet any of them can communicate to us at will and make their presence known, some of them, it is true, in a manner that seems laughable to those who can not or will understand. "It required years of research for me to prove conclusively that the soul Is material and that It lives after the body has returned to dust That the soul has material weight, however, as some say, has no claim in reason."

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. A certain Russian Grand Duchess has espoused the " feminist" movement as they call the "suffragette" and "votes for women" propaganda, on the continent. This exalted lady is no leas a person than the sister of the Czarina and when she took to giving drawing-room talks in St. Petersburg the Czar called a halt. "What's the meaning of all this?" says His Majesty. "Oh, just amusing myself," said the Duchess. "Well, call it off," replied her august brother-in-law. She didn't call it off so he sent her to a nunnery instead of merely recommending her to "hie" her hence as did Hamlet Ophelia. So in a nunnery in Moscow the lady proceeded to inculcate much advanc

ed thought and, since the Czar is, after all, a man, he has relented to the extent of permission to the Duchess of visits now and then to St. Petersburg from which she was temporarily banished. It is true that women are interesting themselves in the political emancipation of women in Kussia in other ways than through the bomb and dagger. But, strangely enough, the very source from which encouragement might be expected is that which hits the "feminist" head every time it puts it out of cover. And that source is the peasant representation in the Douma, Russia's alleged Parliament. The peasants, or the agricultural working classes of Russia, regard women as mere beasts of burden and a medium for reproduction of the species and every measure introduced in the Douma toward more liberal treatment of women is at once sent into limbo by the united efforts of these poseurs for the liberty of man. Here is the "rock in the pathway of

progress" as said in "The King's Game" last winter the unenlightened men of what is termed the "lower classes" abroad. These are the men who say "let woman keep her place." "Woman's place is in the home," and other moth-eaten slogans. They're no worse than the Czar, but there are more of them. The truth is, as said here the other day, women can't depend on any set or class of men. All men, except an occasional individual, are "agin" women voting. Under continued feminine pressure they will sometimes vote an amendment to the constitution as they did in California the other day. But that was after fifteen years hard work on the part of the organized suffragists. Nothing can be accomplished without organization. When women learn this everywhere much will be accomplished toward their political emancipation.

i There is no earthly reason why wo

men shouldn't vote. All the bogeys raised by the men are easily disposed of by pointing to the five states where they have the full franchise. Has the world come to an end

there? Are women being kidnapped and corraled and coerced? Not that anybody could notice. Things are just the same as they always were. Generally women throw their votes on the side of some reform if the latter is up for decision by the body of citizenship but under ordinary conditions they vote very much like men do that is, their reasons for voting for one party or the other or for one candidate or the other are the masculine ones. There's nothing so very revolutionary in a woman walking to a voting place and depositing her particular little slip of paper in its receptacle. Nothing would be different save that the whole body of citizenship, rather than a part, would be represented in legislative assemblies. Women wouldn't necessarily run for office just because they vote. Very few do in the states where they have the privilege. Whep you observe the vacuous, de

based, degenerate, ignorant objects that didder up to the polls and cast their vote for important or unimportant measures or people or matters in general while the great body of intelligent, informed, capable and enlightened women sit by the windows and watch them go by to decide what the latter shall or shall not do with their property holdings there is manifest injustice. Hut these are time-worn allusions. It is only a matter of time when all women will be voting just as we'll all be riding in airships, making evening calls on friends in Mars and spending the week-end in Jupiter. A little run to Venus for Sunday will be nothing more than going over to Indianapolis to see a boxing bout. At this date nobody knows who will win. This column would bet on Saylor if it thought the prosecutor wouldn't mind. However since women can't vote no notice should be taken of a harmless bet on the side. It is actually said that pots are being made up on the series in strongholds of Puritanism. Demonstrating the grip the national game has upon even the most rockribbed. This is a great world and there's nothing funnier than people and nothing surer than universal suffrage.

In a statement issued by the Anderson Art association, in embryo, it was said that Indianapolis had followed Richmond, in organizing an art association. This is not the case. The Indianapolis Art Association ante-dated the local one by a decade or two. It long ago celebrated its quarter century. Long before Richmond ever heard of art with a large and bristling "A" Indianapolis was giving exhibitions of the work of noted painters and conducting a flourishing art school.

The Indianapolis Art Association manages the Herron Art Institute, erected and endowed through its activities, this being one of the best known art museums in the country.

Richmond was also said to be "the art center of Indiana and the home of several artists of national reputation." Richmond is the residence of but one artist of national reputation J. E. Bundy. As to its being an "art center" this is ridiculous. An "art center" is a community where interest in art is continuous and where a coterie of artists have their residence; where lectures on art are constantly being given; where there are galleries and museums; where people buy pictures and judge them intelligently. While Indianapolis, with all its crudities, could hardly be called an "art center," still if there is an "art center" in Indiana it is in Indianapolis. It is the home of a number of well known artists. It has a large art museum and art school where there are a series of exhibitions and continuous instruction, with lectures for the lay public. This column is not knocking but there is too much misinformation floating about concerning a lot of things as well as about "art centers." The truth Is that the public is lamentably lacking in accurate knowledge about matters of this sort and enlightenment is not going to follow mis-statements however amiable the intent in making them. This is on the order of an amusing article written by Mr. Edgar Uiff, of this city and published in the Indianapolis Star, to the effect that while standing at Emerson's gate in Concord he was asked by two tourist women with note-books "Is this the home of Thomas Carlisle?" That's about as near as people get. Its on the same principle that Richmond is called an "art center." The Andersonians have another guess coming.

(National News Association) SPOKANE, Wash.. Oct. 19. Betterment of conditions in the rural districts of America will be discussed by recognized authorities at the first annual sessions of the National Country Life congress in Spokane, November 23 to 29. Governor Marion E. Hay of Washington, will formally open the conference and executive officers of Oregon, Idaho, Montana and neighboring states and provinces wil participate. The keynote of the congress will be: "What can I do to improve conditions in the farming communitiies.' It is desired to 6how that the farm question is broader than it is generally considered, also that it involves .the welfare of capital, business and labor fully as much as it does the man behind the plow. David Brown, chairman of the country life committee of the Spokane chamber of commerce announces that every' community in the country is privileged to send delegates to take part in the deliberations, with a view to securing tangible results. The tentative program for the sectional meetings follows: Farm Home Day, Noverber 24 The National Grange will have charge of a large portion of the program and several of its officials will deliver addresses. The chief discussions will be upon how to make the farm hame the best in the world. Country School Day, November 25 Prominent educators and officials of the National Grange will taoke up plans for the redirection of the rural school. The rural social center also will be discussed. Rural Church and Y. M. C. A. Day, November 2ft. Two mass meetings will be addressed by national workers in the movement, and definite plans will be outlined for the development and improvement of the work. Producers' Day, November 27. Heads of agricultural colleges and actual farmers of the country have been

i invited to take the lead. The ques

tions will be considered from the standpoint of the grower and how he can obtain the best returns from his work. Transportation Day, November 28 Advocates of good roads will speak on the subject of farm road-making and there will be addresses by prominent railroad officials. Market Day, November 29. Organizations interested in improving conditions surrounding the marketing of

farm products, from the standpoints of the producer and the consumer, will be represented by speakers qualified to deal with the problems. The necessity of the farmer handling his affairs in a business-like way will be emphasised, and it also will be brought out to what etxent a farmer may depend upon receiving a fair profit for his wares, based upon the average cost of production, including labor and investment. "The entire country seems to be alive to the timeliness and importance of this movement," said Mr. Brown, "and that all may have the best guidance in carrying out the highest ideals, we have invited men whose opinions are recognized in a national way to express themselves definitely upon the leading questions. "Probably the chief problem of farming is production. The greatest difficulty now seems to be in imparting to every farmer the available information, so that he may make his work yield the best returns by using the latest approved methods of treating and caring for his soil and crops. We hope to work this out satisfactorily. "Other problems to be discussed relate to mixed farming on irrigated and non-irrigated lands, poultry growing, dairying and live stock raising and other matters that concern commerce, industry and labor. We think it is of vital interest to the city businessman and wage earner that the farmer should receive fair compensation for his labor, so that he may have the means to buy of the businessman, thereby assuring prosperity.'

A FREAK OF NATURE. The Curious Vegetable Caterpillar ef New Zealand. Among the many strange growths, apparently freaks of nature, which are to be found tn New Zealand the vegetable caterpillar readily ranks anions the foremost. This caterpillar is several Inches la length, is hairless and does not differ essentially In appearance from some of the caterpillars of ourfown land. Its claim to distinction lies in the fact that when it pets ready to die it digs a hole frr itself in the earth and completely buries itself. Ijster a slender green shoot springs from the spot. This bears two or more leaves near its top. Upon investigation it is found that the green shoot springs from the head of the dead caterpillar, and further in restlgation develops the fact that the body of the caterpillar is filled with roots. The form is retained without chance, and the roots do not pierce through the skin or enter the ground. Wher due UP this dend yet living freak pre sents a most odd appearance, for th head and even the eyes of the cater pillar are distinctly seen, yet from the head is growing the green sprout. witt tts leaves

"and I am sure that I must have been stif fering under a mental aberration to have given an afflrmntire answer to your impassioned ple:ir!ins" "I bare realised." said Bartholomew, the four-yen r-old progeny, as he stepped from the nursery "1 have realized for several years that my parental affiliations were uncongenial. I might almost say distasteful. But I have deemed It my duty to continue as 'the tie that binds.' Now I must insist that unless you show to each other the courtesies due my immediate ancestors I shall be forced to repudiate my relationship." They embraced. Again a little child had won.

ARRESTED FOR THEFT STUDENT SUES COP SOUTH BEND, Oct. 19. Basil Hayden, a student in Notre Dame university, arrested and charged with theft, has been released and has tiled suits against police officials for damages aggregating $23,000. Hayden says he was going home

late at night, when two policemen halted htm and took him to police headquarters where he was locked up without any reason being given for his detention. Hayden says an attorney was refused him, and quotes Assistant Chief Joseph Chapel as saying: "Don't you know the papers are after us? We've sot to make a goat of some one." The damage suits are against Mr. Chapel, Chief of Detectives William Cassidy, several policemen aud two saloon men, the latter having filed the alleged complaint against Hayden.

Save the Babies. JNFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realise that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-eeven percent., or more than one-third before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen 1 We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would Bare a. majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotio preparation. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead, to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but vou must see that it bears the signature of Chas. EL Fletcher.

Don't Waste Nervous Strength and Energy In Useless Fretting. The Immediate cause of neuralgia Is poison In the blood; therefore our object is to keep the blood pure and healthy, as It Is only when the blood Is poor tbat tbe neuralgia poisons develop In it Poor blood is caused by lack of sleep, lack of fresh air, improper food and overfatigue, by too little exercise and by mental worry. Nothing is easier to say tban "Don't worry" and few things so difficult to carry out But by "Don't worry" the doctors mean do not waste valuable nervous strength and energy In fretting over things beyond your control. Make a point of putting all anxiety from you during meals and above all when you go to bed. Train yourself to think of something cheerful as you try to go to sleep; otherwise your sleep will be harassed and fitful and will do you very little good.
