Staad Expacts to Send Riessagss to Other .World.- CHICAGO GHOST IN CHARGE. Whole Scheme, According to London Editor, Is Idea of Mrs. Julia A. Ames, Once Editor cf Union Signal, A. W. C. T. U. Organ Consolation For Mourners and Joy to the Mourned. v William T. Stead, the noted English editor, acting under the direction of the spirit v of a well known Chicago woman who died seventeen years ago, has established a spirit telegraph office iu London where mortals can commu nicate with the shades of departed loved ones. Mr. Stead has relinquished all busi ness affairs to give himself entirely to the work. He declares that he is merely the servant, acting under the complete direction of the Chicago wo man's shade. The spirit is that of Miss Julia A. Ames, formerly editor of the Union Signal, the official organ of the W. C. T. IT. in Chicago. According to Mr. Stead's statement, he has been discuss ing means for the spirit telegraph bu reau with her ghost for fourteen years. Mr. Stead in explaining the whole scheme declares that the bureau would be at the disposal of any one who wanted to talk with dead friends or relatives in the other world. "The world into which we pass at death is neither up nor down, as the ancient theory had it," declares Mr. Stead. "It Is very near to us. In fact. it is right here. We have a veil over our eyes, so that we cannot see it now. At death that veil Is lifted, and we come Into the other world as a blind man would come into the light were the shadow lifted from his eyes. - 'People who die go on living with the same personality that they had in this world. We are merely unable to perceive them, though they move In our midst. The bureau will establish communication between the two worlds. I became well acquainted with Miss Ames some time before her death. Like many another pious soul, she had made a pact with her dearest friend that she would, if possible, return from the other side and manifest her- seif. She did so." "Twice she came, and at the second Instance .1 happened to be staying at the castle where her apparition had been seen. As my hand was beginning to write automatically then, I placed It at the disposal of Miss Ames, and she has used it as her own ever since." Mr. Stead quotes a "letter" from Miss Ames In part as follows: . I wanted to ask you if you can help me at all In a matter in which I am much interested..-- I have long wanted to -establish a place where those who have passed over could communicate with the loved ones behind. At present the world is full of spirits longing to speak to those from whom they have been parted. It is a strange spectacle on your side souls full of anguish -for bereavement, on this side souls full of sadness because they cannot communicate with those whom they love. What can be done to bring these somber. sorrow laden souls together? What i3 wanted is a bureau of commu nication between the two sides. Could you not establish some such sort of office with one or more trustworthy mediums? If only it were, to enable the sorro &ng on earth to know, if only for once, chat their so called dead" live nearer than ever be fore, it would help to dry many a tear and soothe many a sorrow. I think you could count upon the eager co-operation of all on this side. "I was too hampered by worldly af fairs to do anything for a long time," says Mr. Stead, "but now' I have given myself to the work. The proposition of the bureau is a serious one. " The proposal to construct a bridge across the abyss will stagger most people by its audacity. I think with patience it can be done. V "The spirit of Julia has undertaken to direct operations. When any one who has lost a beloved one desires to communicate with him or her the sanction of the spirit director, must first be obtained. Then the applicant, after complying with regulations, will be turned over to experienced medi ums, who will transmit messages be tween the spirit and the mortal. If 10 per cent of the cases prove successful the bureau will be worth while." Lor:a 0:1 ROOSEVELT HUNT. Well Known Naturalist Calls "Whole . Bloody Business" Brutalizing. Dr. William J. Long, the former min ister and Uiiluralist, whose writings were hiiierly attacked by Theodore Roosevelt, talked recently about Mr. Roosevelt's African hunting trip. Dr. fcong declares the worst feature of the whole business Is the brutaliz ing influence which the reports from Africa have on thousands of America boys. "In one dispatch I notice that.when he could not End buffaloes he had to content himself by "shooting wart hogs and other inoffensive creatures. As the buffaloes are fast disappearing from Africa and as Mr. Roosevelt had already, killed several, why in the name of science should he go out to kill more, and why, failing to find buf faloes, should he content himself bj slaughtering other creatures? "The whole thing is atrocious. It is exactly like his own record of killing eleven bull elk on one trip and then, on his way out, killing two more that he found fighting. Their meat was unfit to use and was left In the woods. Then he preached to us on the virtue of game protection, and when he comes back from this trip you will hear his righteous dissertation on the necessity for preserving game In .Africa, of course, after he has killed everything he-could find. "The only thing we will get out of the much heralded trip will be some more hunting yarns, almost as vera cious as Mr. Roosevelt's account of his heroic exploit at San Juan Hill, and some more skins and bones, of which we already have too many. The only one who will ever learn or teach any thing of value is the man who studies the living animal, not the man who gloats over a dead one. . "The worst feature In the - whole bloody business is not the killing of a few hundred wild animals in Africa, but the brutalizing influence which these reports have upon thousands of American boys. "Only recently I met half a dozen lit .tle fellows in the woods. The biggest boy had a gun and a squirrel tail in his hat, and he called himself Bwana TumDo. They were shooting every thing in sight, killing birds at a time when every dead mother meant a nest- ful of 'young birds slowly starving to death. And how could I convince them that their work was inhuman? Is not the great American .-hero occupied at this time with the same detestable business? And why should not they alfo be heroic and make a few fine shfts- vnd content themselves with robius and rabbits since faunal nat uralists and other game butchers have killed off all our buffaloes?"

American tourists who recently paid a pilgrimage to the grave of William Penn at Chalfont, St. Giles, Bucking hamshire, twenty odd miles from Lon don, England, have been hurt by the neglected condition of the resting place of the founder of Pennsylvania. Dr., Walter Lindley of Los Angeles, Cal., Is highly indignant at what he describes as the disgraceful manner in which Penn's grave Is kept. 'If such little reverence is going to be paid by Englishmen to Penn's rest ing place," said Dr. Lindley. "we Amer icans must take the great American colonizer's bones to Pennsylvania and raise a fitting monument to them. "Jordan's burial ground is a small. rough inclosure at the back of the Friends' - Meeting house at Chalfont, St Giles. It is a delightfully pictur esque spot, appropriated to the sepul cher of Quakers, irot.no longer used. Here, I thought, as I entered the con secrated ground. Is just the place that the simple hearted Quaker might, have chosen for his last long sleep, but you may judge of my feelings when I found that Penn's grave was all but unmarked! ' Only a small stone dis tinguishes the grave from others. Weeds and rank grass almost obliter ated the inscription." : Ex-Judge as Street Sweeper. Having been o-dered by his physi cian to resign his office as police mag istrate and obtain employment where he could enjoy pure air and outdoor exercise, Thomas Stanton of East St Louis, 111., recently started to work as a street sweeper. As a magistrate he received an average of $300 per month As a street sweeper he receives $1.50 per day. "I picked out this job be cause I believe it fills the requirements that the doctor says I need in order to regain my health," he explained. would rather work for $1.50 a day and be able to eat a square meal and sleep soundly than make hundreds of dol lars a month, spend it all for medicine and doctors and be unable to eat and sleep. After my work now I feel bet ter than I have felt in years, and believe 1 am on the road to recovery. Stanton for a number of years was an umpire for the Texas and Pacific Northwest baseball leagues.
