SLADE'S SPIRITS.

More About the Exposure of the Great Impostor.

His Weak Defense Fully Answered by Prof. Lankester.

Story of a New Yorker Wbo Exposed Him Years Ago.

From the London Times.

To the Kditor of the Times SIR—It very seldom occurs that I fee called upon to write in my own defence To I he statements of Prof. Lankester which appear in the Times of the i6th instant, I think I may with propriety re ply.

These are the facts: On our sitting down to the table, I held the slate against the under side of the table, when, after some delay, the sound of the pencil writing on the slate was heard. On withdrawing the slate there was found to be what might have been intended for a name, very poorly written upon the upper surface. I then wiped this off the slate, saying, will hold it again perhaps they will write plainer.'' Again a little delay ensued, when I said to Prof. Lankester, "Perhaps if j-ou will take hold of the slate w.th me they may be better able to write." Me thereupon released his hand from where it was joined with my left and those of his friend upon the table, and instead of holding the slate with me, seized it, as he describes.

Instead of there being a message written, as he says, there were only two, or at the most three words on the upper surface of the slate.

Now, had Prof. Lankester listened as closely as he says he watched me, he must have heard me say, after asking him to hold the slate with me, "They are writing now." This was said while he was in the act of removing his hand from -where it was joined on the table to the slate, for I heard the sound of the pencil when the writing commenced, while I 'Was asking him to hold the slate with me. Consequently, when he seized the slate, only two or three words were found written upon it.

Had he told me he suspected I was doing the writing, I think there would have been no difficulty in disabusing his mind on that point.

That I do the writing with a piece of pencil under my finger nail is an old theory. However, I always keep my nails so closely cut as to render that impossible, to which those who have taken the trouble to examine them can testify. Therefore, all I have to say is, I did not do the writing at the sitting with Prof. Lankester, nor at any other sitting given by rwe during the years I have been before the public as a medium. Very truly yours, HENRY SLADE. A FURTHER ACCOUNT OF THE DETEC-

TION.

To the Kditor of the Times.

A correspondent who professes to be the mouth-piece of Slade, and who is known to be his personal friend, states that Slade said before the slate was removed by mc, "There is already writing on the slate." Dr. tonkins and I were the only ones present besides Slade at the time, and we emphatically state that nothing of the kind was said. Siade offered no explanation' whatever, but exhibited great aggitatioh, remained silcht and pale.

It is perhaps hardly necessary that II should point out to your readers the utility of Slade's agent, Simmons, who sit In the ante-room with visitors who are waiting for an interview, and listens to their conversation.

this way he pick

ed up the somewhat unusual ndme of fa deceased relative of a friend of mine, WBO was at first staggard by the appearance1! of this name

on the slate, but immediate

ly remembered that she had mentioned this name in the presence of Simmoiilfu. the ante-room, and that Slade had sifij sequently, before the seance commenced, conversed with Simmons.

The real question to be 'investigated |n this matter is not "By what strange agency are the spiritualistic' marvfls brought-about but "how is it thnt parentjv satie persons believe thit spiritualistic tricks are marvels due tela' strange agency The ansVref which ill history and experience gives to thejnti question is to be found in the* existence! an unexpected amount of credulity a! incapacity for observation, and of an expected amount of impudence ?and|ni dacity.

To" convict the spiritualist MipostOrofte must not approach^ him with tfcfcorjes based on "recondite principles dfi«dern science," nor should one^ put.hinv .ojh His guard as though ah horforable contest were in hand, but his habits and. methods should be as minutely and covertly investigated as those of some elusive wild

beast, and then at ihe right moment he may be siezed and brpught to the light "taken in the act"

•l_

E. RAY LANKESTER.

September 30th. A FAIR VIEW. To thy Editorofthe Times:

SIR—Having been twice referred to by your correspondents as one of the witnesses of Dr. Slade's doings,^ I musi ask your permission to state briefly that my visit to h:m was official, my duty, as, president of the Psychological society of Great Britain, beint: to report to the society upon whatever alleged psychological phenomena may invite attention.

I certainly witnessed all that your correspondents have described, and have reported faithfully what I saw. But I have carefully abstained from pronouncing

any

judgment as to genuineness or

otherwise. My report concludes thus: '•I offer 110 opinion upon their causes, for I have fanned none. If the}' be imposture, it is equally important that the trick should be exposed, as trickery can only be, by showing how it is done and doing it."

My experience differs from that of my friend Prof. R. Lankester in this—that with me the slate was not placed^ under the table, but upon it, and the writing appeared upon the side next to the table, mv eyes, as well as hand, being upon it from the moment I cleaned it until I lilted it and found the whole side filled with writing from end to end. II written previously, it could only be by some sympathetic pencil which becomes visible when the slate is warmed by the hands placed upon it. Chemists will say if such a thing can be, for it be so it is a complete solution of the mystery. But although the experiments tried by myself might be so explained, for I used the siate provided by Dr. Slade, it will not explain the instance of Dr. Carpenter and many others who have used their own slates and this should always be required by the visitor.

Experience shows that no judgment can be safely formed of experiments of any kind upon one trial. They must be witnessed under various conditions. The very strangeness of the exhibition should make us slo to come to an opinion whether what is there seen is conjuring or psychological.

I can only repeat what Dr. Cnrpenter has stated of his own visit—that I could detect the imposture, nor find any explanation, mechanical or otherwise, either of the writing, the rapping, the floating chairs, or the hands.

But knowing how a clever conjurer can deceive the eye of a stranger, I should be reluctant to form an opinion until I had 6een the exhibition twice or thrice, so as to be able to keep the eye steadily upon the exhibitor, and not upon the phenomena—watching what he is doing instead of observing what is done—by which process alone can sleight-of-hand be discovered. Yours obediently,

EDWARD W. COX,

President of the Psychological Society of Great Britain. CARI.TON CLUB, Sept. 18.

From The N«w York Wc rid. Mr. J. N. Tifft, who got for himself quite a reputation some years since for his exposure in the World of New York spiritualist quacks, was visited yesterday by a reporter and questioned in regard to the recent exposures that has overtaken the well known New York medium, Slade, in London. As recent extracts from the London papers show, that Worthy has been detected in his famous trick of slate-writing, and by so simple a process as grabbing his hand when it was in the very act of doing the writing supposed to be performed by spirits. Mr. Tifft said that the London investigators had only discovered what he had known two years and explained in the World. He, however, had only discovered bv induction what they had informed themselves of empirically. To show Slade's modus operandi he put the reporttr close as a chair could be brought to a table, with both his hands extended quite to the middle of the latter, and held beyond a possibility of motion by the left hand of the personator of Slade. In his free right hand Mr. Tifft held a slate concealed from view under the table, and which he demonstrated was perfectly possible to write upon with the aid of the least knack at sleight-of-hand. When he aimed at exposing Slade Mr. Tifft said he did so by -pppdudng the same mysterious effects—nrf^.by concealing a portion »f pencil under4Hhe nail of one of his fingers, and afterward by having a ring containing a pencil up his sleeve which could be let down and fastened to the top ef the index finger when desired. By means of this arrangement he could pixpduce in a second's writing, messages from the departed with all the facility of Slade. Having thus, as he was sure, discovered the trick, Mr. Tifit made an offer, which was published the papers at.thp time, to give $500 to any charity if Slade would write on his little slate witfiout touching it, which, as has been noted, was not his usual practice, but which some enthusiastic spiritualists claimed he had done and could do again Thjs Slade, although besought to attempt it by scores of the faithfui, refused to!do, only once making an efforj, which proved a iailure. That the English investigators had caught Slade in flagrante delicto, only confirmed Mr. Tift's opinion that he was a delusion and pare. In connection with the subject hand, Mr- Tift gave an amusing retrospect of his first experience as an exposer of mediums. Always having a taste for legerdemain, he had gone into the occupation of proving certain spiritualistic prophets to be delusions for the iirpose of rescuing a young friend from leir toils, who for two years had devoted his days and nights to investigations to the alleged phenomena of these so-called pianifestations. Accordingly he had successively visited every medium in the •city, including Slade, and had learned to perform as successfully as the originator the peculiar trick of each. After he had

erfected himself in the specialty of all, bo'.dly proclaimed that he was the medium of mediums, and gave seances in his office every afternoon, which were attended by hundreds of true believers. When he had irrevocably committed a sufficient number, he threw off the mask and showed himself in his true colors, as was narrated at length in the World at the time. All of this, published in pamphlet form, he had sent to England, and as Slade naturally occupied a conspicuous place in his revelations, it was to be inferred that the present expose of the party of the second part WPS due in a measure to the hint contained therein.

An old gentleman went out to ys.hoot partridges, accompanied by his son. The gun was charged half way up. to the muzzle, and when at last the old gentle man started some birds, he took a rest and blazed away, expecting to see some, fall, of course but not so did it happen, for the gun recoiled with so much force as to "kick" him over. The old man got up, and, while rubbing the sparks out of his eyes, inquired of his son, "Dick, did I point the right end of the gun to the birds?"

The PITTSBURG, CINCINNATI & ST. LOUIS RAILWAY, popularly known as as the "Pan-Handle Route, in connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, is materially shorter than any of the trans portation lines competing for through business between the West and commer cial cities and popular resorts of the East. This advantage in distance, together with the fact that all the lines embraced in the Pennsylvania system, extending from St. Louis, Louisville, Vincennes, Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Illinois State Line, and Chicago in the west, to Pittsburg, llarrisburg, Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, and New York in the east, are virtually under one management, enables the company to offer facilities and present advantages to the traveling public never before equaled. The directness ol its lines to the East, the speed and regularity of its numerous Express trains, the comfort found in its celebrated day and sleeping coaches, the recognized superiority of its roadbed and equipment, the beauty of its scenery, and the exclusive facilities enjoyed at the Main entrance the Exhibition Grounds, Philadelphia where passengers are landed at a Grand Centennial Depot, in close proximity to large hotels and boardiiw house.?, entitle the Pan-Handle and Pennsylvania Line to a large poportion of Centennial trave
