Attracted Large Audiences at Both Services, Mrs. May Pepper-Vanderbilt, the ncted psychic, was the speaker Sunday morning and evening at the Spiritual- ist academy on Park street, and in the evening had an interested congre- gation that filled the academy. After the opening exercises, President Wil- liam F. Bogue' introduced the speaker, who dwelt at length upon the devel- opment of thought as referred to spir- ituelism, reasoning that as now in the natural world we were coming to an understanding of life as never be- fore until we had reached wireless telegraphy, but we are laughing at this wireless telegraphy with the spir- itual world, but when we laugh we throttle and put the lie upon evolu- tion in the spiritual world, The great thought is that we are the receivers of these wonderfu wirelcss messages and for us to live that our bodies will be the fit temples for their reception, and we shall find our loved ones sitting at_our tables. In this connektion, Mrs. Pepper- Vanderbilt indicated her detestation of the practice of eating pig, which she said would surely produce human hogs, and veal she also decried. By living nearer to nature and nearer to God, we will be giving the helping hands we have been asking God to give. It's always beep easy to kneel down and pray for th® thingg we are too stingy to do ourselves, but theol- 03y has taught us to pray that way. Away with all denominational tags and let us live only for humanity, working for the universal freedom of the soul, the universal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Her adlress was followed by a large number of interesting messages. One spicy point was reached when one man in the audience who had a hard time recognizing “William" got the spirit message that “he was an old skeptic anyway and didn't believe in any- thing” The same man got the Odd Fellows’ grip from the medium and she told him he knew what she meant, but he didn't dare to say Pradtically all of the messages were recognized, but_there were two_ references to wheels that failed to find any point of contact with her audience.

JOHN HAYS HAMMCND To Be Tendered the Post of Mi to China. ‘Washington, May 23.—While it is impossible to obtain any confirmation of the report that President Taft will tender the post of minister to China to John Hays Hammond, it is believed here that such an offer will be made.
