SPIRITUALISTS Points Covered in President Barrett’s Report. TO BUILD A TEMPLE IN THIS CITY Some Tests Presented at Last Night's Session. DELEGATES PRESENT After The Star’s report of the proceedings of the fourth annual convention of the National Spiritualists’ Association closed, late yesterday afternoon, the president's report was read to the convention. President Barrett’s report was a vigorous protest against fraudulent mediums, and contained numerous recommendations for reforms of various kinds. He said that in forty-two states -laws had been adopted which make it unlawful to practice spir- itualistic healing, and last winter Congress adopted such a law for the District of Co- lumbla, but, so far as he knew, there had been no protest against the enactment of these laws. He thought a vigorous protest should be made against these laws. The president painted a striking picture of various frauds practiced by mediums, some of which he said were so loathsome he could not name them in words. ty of these frauds, he said, wera prac- ion the over-credulous, and he urged spirltualists to discriminate between gen- uin id fraudulent mediums. He said that many spiritualists who would laugh at the story of Jonah and the whale would ac- cept the most absurd fraudulent shows as truth. He denounced these genuine me- ums who, after establishing reputations by good work, would resort to all sorts of tricks in order to make money. He recom- mended that a central association be es- tablished for the purpose of giving informa- tion about fraudulent mediums. As a means of investigating spiritualistic phe- nomena he recommended that home circles be resorted to rather chan publle mediums, who cater to the incredulous. By invest gating through the home circles the Inves- tigators could depend upon the honesty of those who take part in the work. This would do away with the lust for the mar- velous, and would result in beneficial and instructive investigation. Then, too, schools for the study of psychic phenomena should be established, so that spiritualists could give their children an education upon such phenomena. Some Mediams Condemned. The president condemned in strong terms the manner in which some genuine me- divn® exercise their power for their own degradation and to the injury of spiritual- ism generally. In the most matter-of-fact Way the speaker continued: A certain medium in a southern state t i aurant and speaking to Jim, bring me a glass of whisky.’ “Then the medium had his control bring him glass after glass of whisky until he left the place in a drunken condition. It that fs spiritualism I don’t want any of it. But I know you all condemn such ac- tions.” To the spiritualists present this story was received in as matter-of-fact way as were any statements of well-kaown facts, only the skeptical looking a little askance as it was being told. Mr. Barrett said in his travels about the country during the year he had found meny societies very Weak, and in some P where large societies had formerly flourished they had been abandoned and the members had gone into “so-called liberal churches,” still believers in spirit- ualism, though not prominently known as such. _ Poor music, badly ventilated and dingy halls had in’ some cases made the meetings unpopular. He recommended the purchase by spiritualist societies of build- ings for their use instead of paying large sums for the hire of halls. The president did not believe in ordina- tion by spiritualist societies, and he thought the law permitting all ordained ministers the right to perform marriage ceremonies should be repealed and the marriage service should be relegated to the civil authorities, “where it rightly be- lorgs.”” Reduced rates for ministers on the rail- roads was the subject of a part of the re- port. He said that mediums secured half rates on thirty-nine railroads. He con- demned the practice of giving special privil- eges of this kind to any class of men, znd wanted to see the whole system of special rates abolished. ., To Build a Temple Here. He then outlined a plan for the building of a temple for spiritualists in this city es the headquarters of the national associa- tion. Such a temple, he said, could be built, as there were many people ready to sub- ‘ibe to such a specific purpose, notwith- standing the hard times, and a start in that direction, he safd, had been made. He recommended the appointment of a commit- tee to take charge of such contributions and to build the temple. iren’s lyceums also received attention. tid many spiritualists were sending their children to orthodox Sunday schcols simply because there were few lyceums for children, and he recommended the forma- ton of such means for teaching children, ‘The annval receipts of the association to September 30, 1896, aggregated $6,000, and there was $1,003 more money needed, as the work of the secretary of the association re- quired an assistant, and missionary work was needed. He recommended that the trustees arrange for holding two mass meetings every month in the great cities of the country during the next six months. Action was to be taken against the U y of Pennsylvania for not complying h the will of Mr. Seibert, who bad left hat institution money to be applied to spiritualistic phenomena. mi-ceniennial of spiritualism would place March 31, 1808, and it should be prated at Rochester, the scene of the spiritualistic knockings, and he recom- jed that a committee be appointed to urrangements for that celebration on -is B. Woodbury rendered » work of yeur, in which he told of the etforts made to prevent legis- yn for the enactment of Sualay laws. nied no blue laws. The Evening Session. The third session was opened by the ren- dition of a piano sclo by Miss Geyser, the attendance being larger than during the day. S. P. Putnam, fraternal delegate from the Nadonal Free Thought Federation and Sec- ular Union, was the first speaker at the evening ion. Mr. Puinam said he real- ced tl i people were working to one king of immortality, he said: theresis an immortality it is a law ure and docsn’t depend upon any Jf there is immortal life we are in We agree that the only way to for another is to prepare for this not the quantity of life, it is the { life. We want a free life first of ali, and if there is a despotism beyond the grave we want to fight despotism there. Anna Shaw said she would rather be a free n in hell than a slave in heaven. And would I, for if we were free in hell we get out of it. We are for the Declaration of Indepen- dence. First of all we want reunion of church and state. Every man and woman m t decide what religion they must ac- or no religion at all. think you will all admit that there ts no union of church and state, but if in the administration of the government there is favoritism to churches then there is a vio- lation of that principle. Favors Taxing Church Property. “We want church property taxed just as any other private property is taxed. Church property is not public property, as the state house and the school buildings are. “Every time you pay taxes in this repub- Me you pay a tax on the churches. In New York there is $100,000,000 of church prop- erty that pays no tax, but would pay at ths rate charged against the homes $2- 50,000. In the United States there is church pfoperty amounting to $2,000,000,000, and that would pay at the usual rate of taxation $75,000,000 a year. The speaker protested against the em- ployment of chaplains in the national or state legislatures. He wanted no religion taught in the public schools, for as soon as the teacher teaches religion he becomes a priest. He wanted no oath exacted in the ceurts. “Jesus said, ‘Swear not at all,’ and if Jesus were in this country today He could not testify in half our courts. man who won't tell the truth without an oath won't tell the truth with one. “It is human power that keeps the crim- inal to the truth. He is afraid of the cross- examination that makes him tell the truth; he is afraid of the judge and afraid he will be found out. He is perfectly ready to take an oath, and really. wants to do so to give weight to his Me. Miracles never yet stopped a commitment of a crime; it is human power that checks it. If a thief goes into a field to steal a horse and only God is there he will steal the horse; but if the sheriff is there he will not steal the horse.” Mr. Putnam spoke against Sunday laws. He was in favor of a Sunday as a day of liberty and rest, but he did not waat a Sabbath. He said there was no foundation for keeping Sunday as a holy day, except the command of Constantine in the year 3 and Constantine was one of the blood- jest men who ever lived, and murdered his own wife and son. There was a Sabbath and an anti-Sabbath party in the church, but St. Paul said of the Sabbath, in speak- ing of its observance, “Let every man be wholly persuaded in his mind.” Mr. Putnam was frequently interrupted by applause, and closed his remarks amid a storm of applause, a beautiful bunch of chrysanthemums being presented to him by an admirer in the audience. Mr. Geo. Scott then rendered a couple of comical songs: “But He Couldn’t Get a Shave on Sunday” and a parody on “Just Tell Them That You Saw Me.’ Clara Field Conant then explained to the audience the phenomena of clairvoyaice. She said she saw spirits as she saw per- sons, and frequently could not tell one from the other, and gave an extended ex- planation of various phenomena connected with clairvoyance. Master Julius Burnham of this city ren- dered a violin solo with splendid effect. Mr. Altemus’ Tests. J. H. Altemus of this city gave an ex- hikition of mediumistic powers that mad2 the skeptical think. After singing “Scatter Seeds of Kindness” the medium “went un- der control” and rushing from the stage to the center aisle chose a member of the aucience as the central figure of his test. “About you are several spirits,” he sald. “Sarah Jane Reamer is the name I am given and she has a message for Charlotte Perkins.” The shade wanted to assure her friend that she still lived and the person for whom this message was given readily said he Knew the persons designated. Then the medium gave a message to one of those Present from Lily Hull, who passed over September 13, 1803, and his statements were pronounced to be correct. Rev. Moses Hull spoke to the audience briefly on immortality. He said that no proof of immortality had ever been given except through spiritualism, and told a story of a Methodist minister who had “proven” immortality by the writings of Robert Dale Owens, not knowing that he Was a spiritualist, and was shocked when he found his error. The meeting was concluded by mediumis- tic tests given by Mrs. Maggie Waite and a violin solo by Professor E. A. Whitelaw of San Francisco. Delegates Present.

TWELVE ‘Phe Steamer Arngo Wrecked on the Pacific Coast. The steamer Arago, owned by the Ore- gon Coal and Navigation Company, and plying between Coos bay and San Fran- cisco, was wrecked on the rocks of the jetty at Coos Head, on the Pacific coast, yesterday. She will be a total loss. In an attempt to land a boatload of pas- sengers and members of the crew the boat was capsized. Twelve Dersons were drowned, four passengers and eight of the crew. The following is a partial list of the victims: E. M. McGraw cf Coquil City, passenger. John Norman of Marshfield, passenger. Richard Waiters of Oakland, passenger. M. P. Whittle of San Francisco, fireman of the Arago. Eric Walla of San Francisco, fireman. Richard Patterson of San Francisco, steward. A. Fernandez, chief cook. W. E. Brown, chief engineer. J. Kurger, sailor. Harry Sanders, sailor. The accident occurred during a_heavy fog. The survivors were taken to Empire City on the tug Columbia. The Arago was built by the Union tron works, San Francisco, in 1885. Her gross tonnage is placed at 947 tons. She had long been in the coasting trade. ee The Indiana to Be Repaired. The big battle ship Indiana has gone fzom Tompkinsville to the Brooklyn navy yard to receive many repairs necessitated by her experience in the recent hurricane, when her turrets worked loose from their fastenings and did considerable damage. It is estimated that it will take at least six weeks to put her in condition. All the other vessels of the North Atlantic squad- ron suffered more or less damage in the same storm and will have to be overhauled at the navy yard. ——————————— Rheumatism yields to Salvation Oil. OPENING THE @ELEBRATION — Sesqui - Centennial Exercises at Prinoe- tome President Patton’s Hézmon—Reception to Distinguished _"iducators — Re- sponses by Prowjinent Visitors. if The first of the three days’ celebration of the sesqui-centennial $f Princeton Uni- versity opened yesterday at Princeton with an academic procession, including many learned men, which inoved to Alexander Hall, where President'Francis L. Patton delivered an impressive sermon. During an organ prelude the procession entered the large hall, where two thousand persons had assembled to hear the relig- fous services that would open Princeton’s celebration. Princeton professors, foreign delegates and prominent university and college presidents occupied the beautiful marble platform of the hall. A choir, composed of alumni, admirably sang the anthem, “Vent Creator Spiritus, after which Prof. Fisher of Yale invoked the Divine blessing and aid for the sesqui- centennial. Prof. Warfield of the Princeton Theologi- cal Seminary read a portion of Scripture, from which Dr. Patton took the text of his sermon on ‘Religion and the Univer- sity.” The text was the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, third chapter, eleventh verse—“For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid in Jesus Christ.” President Patton’s Sermon. Dr. Patton said in part: ‘The first char- ter of the College of New Jersey was signed by John Hamilton, president of his majesty’s council, on the 22d day of Octo- ber, 1746. A second charter, still more lib- eral in its provisions, was obtained from Gov. Belcher in 1748, “It was surely the day of small things when a little company of Presbyterians in the clty of New York and its vicinity in- terested themselves in establishing a seat of learning in the province of New Jersey as a means of providing a liberal educa tion for young men intending to enter the ministry. The ineffectual efforts which they had previously made, and their ulti- fate success, bear striking testimony to he religious intolerance of the times, the more enlightened policy of President Ham- ilton and Gov.. Belcher and the liberal spirit of the founders of the new institution, who, though Presbyterians by conviction, and actuated in the main by zeal for the re- ligious necessities of their own church, accepted without scruple a charter which fave no advantage to any denomination, and, beyond a scheme for liberal culture, made no specific provision for the needs of aay profession, lie spirit of the founders has been kept alive in thelr successors. The interest of the coliege has always been in the hands of religious men, and of men, I may say, belonging as a rule to a particular branch of Protestant Christendom, but it hes never been under ecclesiastical control. It has served the church and it has served the state without in any sense being un- der the authority of either. “The founders of the College of New Jer- sey did not establish a theological school with a preparatory department in aris; they established a faculty of arts with an embryonic department of theology. There is a great difference between the two meth- ods, and this difference,has determined the course, of Princeton's subsequent develop- en’ Prayer by Dean Murray follow2d the ser- mon, and then there.was a hymn and a benediction by Rev. Dr. W. R. Bodine of Philadelphia. An organ, recital closed the morning services. Reception to: Delegates, Following the religious exercises a re- ception was held in the afternoon to the visiting delegates in Alexander Hall. ‘These included Prof. Friederich Karl Brugmann of Leipsic, Prof. Johatiries Conrad of Halle, Rev. Dr. Willam Cayen of Toronto, sir J. William Dawson of Montreal, Prof. Wil- helm Dorfeld of Athens, Prof, Edward Dowden of Dublin, Prof, A.

Prof. Edward Bayiall Poylton of Oxford, Prof. Andrew Seth of Edinburgh, Prof. Goldwin Smith of Toronio, Prof. Joseph John Thomson of Cambridge.

Georgetown University, President Joseph Havens Richards, 8. J. The Smithsonian Institution, Prof. Samuel Pierpont Langley, secretaty Smithsonian Institution. Charles E. Green, chairman of the board of trustees, made a few remarks by way of introduction and acknowledgment of con- gratulatory addresses recelved. He then introduced Rev. Dr. Howard Duffield of New York city, who made the address of welcome. Responses by Visitors. The response in behalf of American unt- versities and learned societies was sade by President Eliot of Harvard. His speech was a happy effort, in which he congratu- lated Princeton for its great achievements. Prof. John Thomson of the University of Cambridge followed President Eliot with a response in behalf of European universi- tles and learned societies. His address was brief but enthusiastic and his praise of Princeton charmed all. This closed the efternoon exercises. ——+e+— MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION. America, A Basin of Settlement Has Finally Been Reached in Ottawa. The Manitoba delegates, who have been at Ottawa, Ontario, for a week conferring with the dominion government in regard to the Manitoba school question, have left for home. The delegation have had sev- eral conferences with Mr. Laurier and his ministers, and the whole matter was gone into at length. A basis of settlement was reached, and then the details were thrash- ed out. This took time and hard work. The matter was pretty well closed on Sat- urday, but a short conference has since been held, when the last touches were put cn this troublesome question, and the Mani- toba ministers have said good-bye to Ot- tawa. : ‘The terms of settlement will not be given out until Mr. Greenway and his full cabi- net have approved of them. This will take a couple of weeks, at any rate. It has, however, leaked out that the settle- ment does away with the need of any reme- dial legislation or any federal legislation whatever. The whole matter will be trans- ferred to the province. by order in coun- cil. Manitoba’s natiopal schools will be preserved, but arrangements will be made for giving religious instructions to Catho- lics, as well as Protestants, at the close of the school hours. 1/2 It is also understood,,that Catholic teach- ers will be engaged where they are neces- sary by reason of the pupils being Catho- lic. But in all cases teachers will have to be certificated. The settlement may not meet with favor among some ardent sup- porters of separate schools, but all other parties will welcome |the removal of the matter from dominion politics in that prov- ince. °+37—— Army Orders.

Washburn of the populist na- tional executive committee arrived at Chi- cago unexpectedly last evening from Georgia, where he and Committeeman H. W. Reed had been in conference with Mr. Watson. When informed of the failure of the popu- list-democratic fusion conference Mr. Washburn expressed no surprise. As he was to have remained in Atlanta to be present at that conference, his sudden change of base was the cause of much sfeculation in political circles. It is stated that Mr. Washburn returned 80 suddenly for the purpose of conferring with Chairman Jones of the democratic national committee, and to put before Mr. Jones in the form of an ultimatum two or three propositions from Mr. Watson look- ing to the latter's recognition on the fusion ticket in the different states. Mr. Washburn was asked if he had seen Mr. Watson's letter of acceptance. “Yes, I saw a copy,” he replied. “It is interesting political reading. Mr. Watson's throat is all right. He goes to Alabama, then to Tennessee and then to North Caro- lina, and the character of his addresses will depend upon the results of my efforts. He will wait to hear from me. “Mr. Watson's position’ is misunderstood. He will not be ignored, and his persistency in claiming the rights of his party has placed him in a false light. He is a states- tran rather than a politician. “His ideas are high and noble, his con- victions ure strong, and, having always been opposed to fusion on’ principle, he has little sympathy with the methods of ‘prac- tical politics’ which involve fusion, even though temporary success may be achieved. In the present campaign he appreciates the necessity of making such arrangements as will unite the silver forces. “ “He apparently puts it thus: ‘Wellington and Blucher can whip Napoleon, but Well- ington wants Blucher’s forces without Blucher.’ Mr. Watson concedes that in any event part of Blucher’s forces will go to Wellington, but with Blucher at the head of his army every man would fight with new inspiration, und the result would be certain victory.” ——_+e+_____ Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale Divorced.
