Union Soldiers Dedicate Tablet to

Ibl. Herbert in Wrltting to Col
(Jrubb 1'hjth Tribute to- Northern :
Soldier*, and Says* "Heaven Ha*
ltounteously Lengthened Out Our
Lives That We May llehold this
Glorious Day."
Former secretary of the Navy, Hilary
A. Herbert, who lives in Washington,
has forwarded to Gen. E.
Burd Grubb, commander of the
Twenty-third New Jersey Volunteers,
against whom he fought at
the battle of Salem Church, Va.,
May, 23, 1863, a letter of tribute to
the courage and manliness of the
members of that regiment, to whom
a monument was recently erected at
Salem church.
Upon one of the tablets were in
: 1
skuuvu me lunuwiiig wurus:
"To the brave Alabama boys, our
opponents on this field of battle,
whose memory we honor, this tablet
is dedicated."
The Eighth Alabama regiment was
commanded at the time of the Salem
Church battle by former Secretary
Herbert. In his letter to General
* Grubb, Col. Herbert says:
"I have noted with unmixed pleasure
that while on one of the plates
upon the monument are inscribed
' the words:
" 'To the memory of our heroic
dead comrades, who gave their lives
for their country's honor on the battiefield,
this tablet is dedicated.'
"Upon another plate is this inscription:
" To the brave Alabama boys, our
opponents on this field of battle,
whose memory we honor, this tablet
is dedicated.'
"I was with my regiment, the
Eighth Alabama, and was its lieutenant
colonel in the bloody fight
which you and your brave soldiers
have so fitly commemorated. Indeed,
the Eighth Alabama was on the south
side of the plank road, and, therefore,
almost immediately confronted
your gallant regiment. Being the
M1J A. ? ? ** ? -
uiucsl surviving neia omcer of the
five Alabama regiments that participated
in that memorable struggle, I
feel that I may appropriately assume
on behalf of the Alabama boys, whose
memory you and your brave soldiers
so chivalrously extol, to extend to you
and the other survivors of the Twenty-third
New Jersey, as I do hereby
the heart-felt thanks of the living
Alabamians who participated in that
battle.
WORDS OP DANIEL WEBSTER.
"When you and I recall the fortyfour
years that have passed since Salem
Church, and congratulate ourselves
as all patriots do upon the
wonderful changes that time has
wrougnc in puDiic sentiment, North
and South, it is but natural that we
should recur to the words of Daniel
Webster at the dedication of the
monument on Bunker Hill: 'Heaven
has bounteously lengthened out your
lives that you might, behold this
glorious day.' That sentence has
thrilled the hearts of generation after
generation, but to me the simple i
words inscribed by your regiment on ,
the monument to their heroic dead
at Salem Church are more eloquent (
than any uttered by the immortal ]
orator at Bunker Hill. Webster was ,
addressing the survivors of one ar- |
my, the American army of the Rev- i
. olution; your monument speaks to
'al| the survivors of the two great ar- 1
mies that fought against each other 1
in the civil war. It is a fitting last j
w)ord in the lessons of that great J
war.-*..It is plain now that it was not .
lust of pQwer that nerved the hearts
of Jersey^!en at Salem church, and
also that it>was^not any wicked desire
to destroy" American liberties
that prompted Alabamiaris to/to battle
that day. Both armies were fight- ?
f # *
ingior American institutions as they
understood them. Since t.he smoke
of battle has lifted, all this, in the
sunlight of peace, has become clear, *
and the tablets on your monument
at Salem church now remind the sur- I
vivors of both armies that it is among *
the choicest of heaven's bounties J
that their lives have been lengthened 1
out until they behold the glorious 1
day in which American liberties are *
safer than ever before, for disunion *
\ is not longer thinkable: the people c
of the United States are more united \
today than they ever have been at 1
kany time since the gun was discharged
at Lexington, the sound of which I
echoed around the world. ^

SEES MURDER IN DREAM.
Ran Awakes To Find Woman Slain
in Next Apartment.
To dream of murder and awake to
ind the dream true in all its essential
detail was the experience of
William Flinn, an engineer, living in
in flnnrtmont hniiea of /(A9 K'oof
?r MVMUV Ub -IVU JUKWl* XtUUl
3treet, New York, Wednesday morning.
The victim of the murder was Mrs.
Catherine Killoran, twenty-nine
years old, who lived in an adjoining
apartment, and her husband, James,
is held by the police on suspicion of
having stabbed her to death. The
woman was found dead in the kitchen
of their flat. There were six cuts
on the head and numerous bruises on
the body.
The victim's husband, from whom
she had been living apart, called on
her Tuesday night. Peter Henry, a
neighbor, who was with the husband
when he was found, has been held as
a witness.
Killoran denies all knowledge of
the crime. He declares that he and
his wife retired about 1 o'clock Wennesday
morning, and that when he
awoke, a few hours later, Mrs. Killoran
was not in bed. He got up and
found her dead and . covered with
blood on the kitchen floor. Then he
went for Henry to teil him of the
1 L. J--1
via&cuy, aim ne ueciares ne was on
his way to the police station to report
Mrs. Killoran's death when he
was arrested. Several occupants of
the house where the Killorans lived
told the police they heard the couple
quarrelling Tuesday night. From
Flinn, who lives on the same floor,
but in the rear, they learned that
Killoran and his wife had apparently
quarrelled at 11 o'clock Tuesday
night. Flinn said he had heard the
woman say:
"Don't do that; you will kill me."
Later he heard groans and then
went to sleep. Then Flinn said he
had a dream, in which he saw a man
chase a woman around a flat and stab
her three times with a knife.

"Ijist of tlie Prophets" Says It Is
Nineteen .Months Away.
Lee L. Spangler, who has styled
himself for a nnmKor r\f .......... ?
v. .tuoiwi ux .reals tu
"the Last of the Prophets," has issued
another of his remarkable bulletins.
This time he is more specific
in his statements.
He now asserts that the world will
come to an end in nineteen months.
He warns all the people to beware
and look out for the dissolution of
the world.
Spangler says there will be no
more seasons; that summer and winter
will be as one, and there will not
be any way of telling one from the
other. Snow in July need not be a
surprise, and sleigh riding is likely
to be one of the summer pastimes.
He adds:
"There will be more black spots to
occur on the sun's disk, and by the
latter part of 1908 the sun will be
entirely black. The earthquakes will
shake all the principal cities of the
nations. Great excursion wrecks
will occur, and there will be great
distress in the land until the end
shall come."

A Man Accused of Making His Sister
Swallow Needles.
Forcing his sister to swallow needles
is the queer charge brought
against a man living at Tassin, in the
department of the Rhone, France.
The sister who is twenty-two years
old declares that he made her swallow
needles which ho stuck in pears
and oranges, because he wanted to
e;et rid of her in order to add her
share of the fort tine to his own.
When she was taken to the hospital,
not fewer than 72 needles were
extracted from the girls body, and
more were taken from her afterivnril

Bryan Says Roosevelt Will Not
Be Candidate Again for
EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL.
If His Reforms Are of a Substantial
Character There Ought to lie Some
Other Republican Sufficiently Identified
With Them to Represent
m ^ - * " ?
a iii-iu us vitiiuiuuie," says urynn
of Roosevelt.
Wm. Jennings Bryan during the
course of an interview at Baltimore,
Wednesday with a representitive of
the News in reply to a question as to
what is the most important princi
pal to be applied at this time, said:
"The Jeffersonian maxim?-equal
rights to all, and special privileges
to none?embodies the government
principle whose application is most
needed. The abuses of which the
people complain arise from the violation
of this principle.
"Both Jefferson and Jackson :
poinieu out tne evns oi lavoritism
and privilege and those evils are
especially noticeble at this time
when great corporations have secur- <
ed such an influence in Dolitics.
"Favoritism in government oper- 1
ates always in the interest of the
few and against the masses. The >
j>eople as a whole can obtain no spe- '
cial favors from the government. 1
If the people tried to vote themsel
ves subsidies they would have to pay
the increased taxes and thus take
the money out of one pocket and put
it into the other pocket. This
would not only cost them as much 1
as was collected but they would have ;
to pay the expenses of collection and J
distribution.
"The remedy lies in withdrawal
of the priviledges in so far as the 1
evil rests upon privilege and a restraint
on corporations insofar as (
the corporations have overstepped '
the law."
Referring to his attitude relative
to the licensing of so-called trusts, 1
Mr. Bryan said:
"It has been criticised by some i
who spend more time objecting to !
remedies than they do proposing ^
remedies, but the license system
which I advocate was indorsed in !
the Kansas City platform seven '
years ago.
"We have a few Democrats whose ]
sympathies are with the trusts, and 1
n *? > * - '
exilic tfciuwi aw) are aiways aiarmetl 1
when a remedy is proposed. If the
remedy is proposed by a state such |
Democrats are afraid that it in- 1
terferes with the federal govern- 1
ment, and if it is proposed by the J
federal government they are afraid '
it interferes with the state. 1
"The people will not take th<?ir 5
democracy from the employes of the
trusts who earn their salaries hy 1
choroforming the public, while the s
pockets of the people are being pick- l
ed." 1
THE THIRD TERM. j
Relative to a third term for any (
occupant of the presidential office, t
Mr. Bryan said:' s
"When in congress I endeavored c
to secure an amendment to the con- v
stitution making the president ineli- t
gible for a second term, and in both [
of my campaigns I announced that
if elected I would not be a candi- t
date for a second term. I would i
hardly look favorably: therefore, s
upon a third term. v
"I assume that the president will c
adhere to the opinion which he has f
expressed on the subject and will c
not be a candidate again. It would t
be a reflection upon the success of v
his administration, if, coming in by
an enormous majority, he had so re- s
duced the popularity of his party as c
to ni&ke it impossible for any other j,
Republican to be elected. h
"If his reforms are of a substan- j,
tial character there ought to be n
n
auiuc- uuier lu'puoncan sufficiently n
identified with them to represent
them as a candidate. It would be j,
strange if the president was strong gj
enough to violate the anti-third term a
precedent set by Washington, Jef- .r
ferson, Madison, Monroe and Jack- ^
son, and yet was not able to develop ^
a worthy Republican successor." C(

Remarkable Utterances of PaulIst
Father.
Says Science Has Proved the Exist*
encc of Spirits.?They Should Be
Let Alone.
Georce M &>orio .Mtn.
c ? ?? - 1V| * WUV1 VI tllC |
Paulist Fathers' Catholic church New
York, caused a sensation by his ser- <
mon last Sunday morning in which '
he declared his belief in spiritism. ?
Thursday he consented to elaborate '
his views, as follows: ,
"What I wished my audience to i
understand is, in the first place, that \
though there will, of course, be ,
found here and there in spiritistic i
seances some attempts at fraud or !
trickery, particularly where there is .
money to be made by it, phenomena <
often occur in them which cannot be (
accounted for in this way.
"These have been carefully examined
by scientific men, and those who *
have done so agree that those phenomena
indicate forces entirely beyond
our normal powers and it is
practically certain that these forces
arc directed by intelligence which
are not of this world. The only question
is, what are these intelligences?
"They pretend to be deceased human
souls, and support their pretensions
by what are called "proofs of
identity.' That is they know many
events in the earthly life of those
whom they represent which could not ,
naturally be known to the medium
or others who had not been acquaint- ,
ed with them personally. But they i
fail in other points which ought to i
be as well known, if they really were t
what they pretend. ?
"Furthermore, they fail to agree '
in their description of their present j
state, in their teachings about God, j
about Christ, and religious matters
generally. Truth should agree with ]
itself; falsehood, whether coming i
from ignorance or malice, will dis- i
agree. It, therefore, appears that
these intelligences are not what they
claim to be; and it seems more prob-"
able that they are deceitful than that i
Lhey are ignorant.
"Besides, their control of a medium,
when habitual, has been known
to culminate in what is called diabol- (
ic possession; and in no case does it '
seem to have had a good moral ef- t
feet.
"Also, the spirits communicating <
seem to have a dread of spirits and
if the rites of the Catholic church. I *
know specially of one case in which t
i priest, going incognito to a seance ,
for investigation, was requested by t
them not use holy water. t
"On account of all these reasons, <
as well as of the distinct prohibition 5
n Scripture (Deut. xviii: 2) of such
performances, which are by no means f
nerely modern, the church is abso- c
utely opposed to them, and considers *
:hem as extremely dangerous to our .
salvation."
Dr. Searle is a man of high scienific
attainments, and his name is associated
with astronomical research j.
md discovery among savants all over
he world He was formerly a Congregational
minister in Boston and
las oeen connected with Harvard j
observatory and with the observa;ory
at Georgetown college. He as- ?
serts positively that spirits can be ?
:ommunicated with through medi- a
lms, and believes that these spirits
ire evil ones?fallen angels?who t
rnve never inhabited a human body, t
Dr. Searle said that in his sermon h
hat only ignorant persons now deny ?
he existence of spirits and the ims- 8
ibility of human communication ?
vith them. He is a member of the t,
Society for Physical Research and a ^
riend of Father Paupert, who show- k
d the "spirit pictures" in his lec- n
ure before the Catholic club last Ii
ireek.
"The overwhelming probability,"
aid the preacher, "is that the spirits
ommunication are either devils or
ist human souls subject to devils in
ell. These devils are not confined
i their operation to a local hell. Such
lay be the case after general judg- ^
lent, but not now. ^
Warning his hearers against exper- ^
nenting in this field, Dr. Searle ^
aid in his sermon that endeavor to
scertain the truth about the depart- a,

raste of time, but extremely dan- tz
erous. It is prohibited by Divine In
