LARGE SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR A TEMPLE One of $10,000 Was From a Washington Man. OFFICERS ELECTED ‘With the conclusion of the fourth annual convention of the National Spiritualists’ Association at Masonic Temple late yester- day afternoon, the delegates congratulated one another over what they regarded as the most successful annual gathering they bave ever had. In attendance the conven- tion had been larger than formerly, the trying ordeal of electing officers had been passed over without injured feelings, and $20,000 had been subscribed by two dele- gates toward a fund for building a spiri:- ualist temple in this city, with the pro- vision that $100,000 is raised for this pur- pose. The Afternoom Session. When the convention assembled at 2 o'clock, state delegations were requested to name members of the nominating commit- tee In crder that names of members for election to offices might be put before the convention. This being done, the commit- tee assembled in the banquet room and re- mained in session a couple of hours. ‘The committee to report on ordination brought in a recommendauion that state societies should be authorized to ordain mediums, though the national association should exercise a supervision over the character of those ordained. The recom- mendation was adoptea us a part of the by- laws. A lengthy discussion was entered into over the necessity for extending the period for holding the annual meeting beyond three days, but the question was finally delegated to the board of trustees for such action as they may see fit to take. It was argued that the business of the con- vention was growing so that it could not be transacted in three days, but others claimed that the manner of conducting business could be facilitated so “hat the time now allowed for that work would be ample. The Place of Mecting. A delegate suggested that the association consider the advisability of holding meet- ings in cities other than Washington. His attention was called to the fact that the association's constitution names this city as the place of meeting, and the considera- tion of the matter was laid over until the next annual meeting. While the delegates were waiting for a report from the committee on nominations they discussed the necessity for promoting the establishment of children’s lyceums in order to bring their children up in the spiritual way they desired them to go. ‘The report of the committee was rendered shortly before 6 o'clock, and it was adopted unanimously, and amid much enthusiasm. All the old officers were re-elected except the treasurer, Theodore J. Mayer of this city, and Milan C. Edson and B. B. Hill, trustees, all of whom wished to retire from the offices they had filled, two of whom, Messrs. Mayer and Hill, later on showed their increased interest in the cause of spiritualism by subscribing $10,000 each as part of a fund for the erection of a spiritualists’ temple. ‘The officers and trus- tees elected for the ensuing year are: Presi- dent, Harrison D. Barrett, Lily Dale, N. Y.; vice president, Mrs. Cora L. V. Rich- mond, Chicago, Il.; secretary, Francis B. Woodbury, and treasurer, George 8. Clen- daniel of this city: trustees, L. V. Moulton, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Geo. 8. Fuller, Wor- cester, Mass.; Mrs. Abbie L. Pettengill, Cleveland, Ohio; Henry Steinberg of this city, and Frederick Fickey, Baitimore. Subscriptions for 2 Temple. The desirability of a temple for spiritual- ists in this city had been discussed at va- rious times during the convention, and about an hour before adjournment Mr. Theodore J. Mayer of this city stirred up the convention to a high pitch of enthu- siasm by subscribing $10,000 toward the temple fund, provided $100,000 should be raised for that purpose. Tie words were barely uttered before B. B. Hill, a wealthy Philadelphian, was on his fcet to duplicate Mr. Mayer's offer, and various smaller amounts were pledged for the building fund provided $100,000 is raised, put no move will be mad toward building the temple until the entire amount is raised, as the spiritualists are opposed to con- tracting a great debt. Before adjournment Mrs. M. E. Cadwal- lader asked permission to make a personal explanaiion. She had had charge of ra‘ ing a fund for the defense of mediums, various rumors had gained currency re- garding the manner of accounting for the Ticney. Mrs. Cadwallader explained the method she had adopted for accounting for contributions, and it involved so perfect a system cf checks that all appeared well satisfied with her business methods, and she was loudly’ applauded. The E The evening session was well attended, every seat and standing room being taken by the delegates and curious visitors. The exercises wer? literary and musical as well as spiritualiste in naiure. Miss Bertha Keyser épen2d the program with a Piano solo, and D. J. Cozbin of California spoke of the gradual extension of spiritual- ism. Mr. Whitney readerad a violin solo, and Mrs. Loe F, Pror ot Caifornia and Dr. George Fuller of Pennsylvania delivered addresses cn spiritualism, Mrs. Prior in- dorsing woman's _ suff during her speech. Miss Maggie Gaule gave «piritual tests, Mrs. Cora V. L. Richmond and J. W. Colville recited a poem on “Universal Co- operation,” which was proposed by some one in the aud'ence. The poets assured the audience that their efforts were im- promptu, ‘The delegates who remain in the city to- day will make up parties to visit Mt. Ver- non and Sold.ers’ Home, and tonight a sp:r- Itvalistic concert will be given. What Mr. Mayer Says. In speaking to a Star reporter today about the effort of spiritualisis to secure a handscme temple in this city, Theodore J. Mayer, who subscribed $10,000 for that pur- pose yesterday, sald: “We are to have a temple. There is no Goubt about that, because our people have made up their miads on that matter, and will work diligentiy to succeed. “The Methodists have established their university, the Catholics have a great edu- cational institution under way, and the Baptists have Columbian University. The spiritualists want ‘a university or develop- ment school for mediums, and the temple will be the start in that direction. Many partly developed mediums start vut to give seances, thinking they know all about it. Then, too, the public is diszasied with the frauds who make a living by practicing tricks on credulous people. We want a de- velopment school where mediums can be developed thoroughly, to the great ad- vancement of ritualistic knowledge among the peopl —_->_—__ HELEN FORSLAND’S QUEER CAREER. ening Session. She Had Been n Border Outlaw and She Becnme a Salvation Army Luss. From the Chicago Daily News. A great deal of genuine regret was felt at the Salvation Army barracks over the death yesterday at Butte, Mont., of Helen Forsland, alias Kate Evans, unce a famous frontier bandit, but who was suddsnlv converted and for several years lived a life of honor and piety. It is reported that the woman died from the effects of poison ad- ministered by her own hand. What had come over her to cause her to commit svi- cide no one knows. Since her conversion she hed been identified with army work cn the coast and had been able to persuade many rcugh characters to lead a_vetter life. There is apparently no one in Chicazo connected with the army who ever saw the woman, but many knew of her previous life and had heard of her subsequent work. “Helen Forsland was one of the :aost noted characters that ever haunted the western states,” said a detective we!l ac- A NEW DISCOVERY _ By the SHAKERS. For more than a hundred years the Mount Leb- avon Shakers have studied the cultivation of medical plants, end sought to extract from them thelr healing essences. Their labor has not been spent in vain. They have made a discovery that will prove a blesring to menkind. It consists of s cordial that ¢-ises immediate relief in cases of iudigestion. “The tm pertance of this @iscovery will be apparent when we. realize that nearly mlne- tenths of our suffering are caused by dyspepsia cr Indigestion. Necrly every person you meet has this digestive trot ble im some of its varied forms—sick headache, distress after cating, pain and fullness in the chest after eating, palpitation of the beart, etc., are but symptoms of indigestion. To relicve tase sufferiugs has been the study of the Shakers, and they have succeeded. The reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an immediate and salutary effect is that it causes the food eaten to be digested, for it is undigested food that causes the distress. The Cordial vauses the food to be digested before there is time for it to ferment and sour on the stomach. When the food is so di- gerted It gives strength and vigor to the fecile body, mekes on- feel bright and cheerful, end makes one guin ip ficsh. The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in Its action that the very first dose will have a perceptibly, favorable result. It gives immediate relief. Every druggist has been sent a supply of our headsome Denkey Puzzle Books, and a copy may be had for the asking. It tells all about the Cor dial, a5 well as Laxol, the new castor oil. ‘Try a twenty-five-cont bottle of Digestive Cordial ee ee — quainted with her history, “and was im- plicated in stage robberies In Idaho, Ore- gon, Washington, Montana and California.

She, the guilty one, terrible in character, was toucted by his faithfuiness and began to muse on the step which he hed taker for her sake. Waile thus medi- tating she was in the prison at But‘e, end one Gay there appeared in her dark cell a woman cailing the prisoner to repentance, It was Major Halpin of the Satvation Army. “That sounds Mike the voice of :ny she said. Then and there the ¢ voice of the hardened criminal meit- ed away into childish accents, and she made a vow that thereafter she would lead a Christian life, and do all in her power to have her sweetheart released from the pen- itentiary. The conversion of the notorious woman created a great sensation all along the Pacific coast. Her sincerity of pur- ose won her favor with the police authori- ties, and they let her alone, although she had confessed to numerous robberies. From the time she emerged from that prison, soon after her conversion, she carried the salvation banner through the streets of Portland, Butte, Heiena and raany ocher cities, and shouted hallelujahs with as much fervor as the other lasses. “The crime for which she almost went to the penitentiary was that of robbing a stage coach near Helena, about six years ago. She and a man had committed the robbery and were captured. It was while in prison this time that the officials dis- covered that she was a woman. Her lover, Archie Niederinghaus, came forward with @ confession, which was believed, the wo- man and her accomplice were acquitted, and the lover now languishes in prison. She made @ confession herself, but it was not believed and she went free. Major Bovill of the Salvation Army, who has charge of the Chicago Woman's Train- ing School, was in San Francisco a little over five years ago, when Helen Forsliad was converted, and, though she did not sce the woman, she remembers the case with much vividness on account of the stir which it caused on the coast. Shortly af- ter the woman was converted, Major Hal- pin called on Mrs. Bovill and told her all the circumstances. Said Mrs. Bovill this morning: “This was one of the most remarkable changes of which I have ever heard. It created a good deal of comment because it turned out that the woman had stich a sweet and lovable character. We talked about her because the officers had a good deal of trouble with her. She had been accusiomed to a roving and rough ‘ife so long that she did not know how to act. She was so much like a man. She sat like a man, and it was hard to get her to change. Major Halpin took the woman to iher home for some time, because no one would think of employing her, and she did not Know how to do anything useful. We sometimes laughed to ourselves because she was so clumsy, but we made her think she was getting along very well. I believe her case was a sincere conversion. I had not heard from her for some time.” ++ Feathers Worth More Thi From the Morning Oregonian. Some feathers that are extremely fash- icnable fetch more than their weight in gold. The hunting of birds on which these feathers are found is a more profitable business, morcover, than gold seeking. it is only natural to compare the two, be- cause both gold and birds are found in the same section—Lower California. The egcet feathers sell from $82 to $5 an ounce at wholesale. Of course, they fetch ut least double that when retailed over the counters of New York's most popular sheps. They are not sold by the ounce there, though. They go by the piece. While there are probably hundreds of men ‘who make a business of killing birds for their feathers, the best-known of the feath- er hunters in the west is Hamlin Smith, the white chief of the Cocopah Indians. ‘Their reservation includes most of the land on Madeline bay. in the marshes of this broad sheet of water are found the egret, heron and crane in numbers. Even the heron’s feathers come high. They fetch at wholesale from $8 to $10 an ounce. One heron, Mr. Smith says, will ield often feathers worth $150. if herons are more plentiful than egret, they are more profitable hunting, because there is only a small tuft of covering on the egret dthat is SS Shaming Him. From the Boston Transcript. A Methodist clergyman on his bridal trip has been fined $10 for chipping off a bit of the Washington Monument. He confessed, but made the excuse that his wife asked + him to do-it. It is natural that during the honeymoon a husband should be dutifully Gold. obedient, but laying the blame upon his better half could nardly have raised him in the opinion of that person, notwith- staniing the groom might have claimed he had good Bibica! authority for his course, us .llustrated in the case of our first parents. No wonder the women say the men are all alike. -<o-- Secure in Her Conce!
