DID HE SEE HER SPIRIT l
A WASHINGTON DOCTOR TELLS A
CUKIOUS STORY.
He Claims that the Form of a Lady
'Patient Appeared to Him a Short
Time After Her Death.
From the Washington Post.
Early on the morning of Aug. 14 there
occurred in this city the death of Mrs. W il
liam G. Norris, an elderly lady, who resided
with her husband and several adult chil
dren at No. 215 Eleventh street southwest.
Shortly before her death, her attending
physician. Dr. Julihn, called from the
city to Onset, Mass., where he experienced,
as he claims, the peculiar sensation of see
ing Mrs. Norris as she had been when alive,
about one hour after he had received a tele
grum announcing her death.
This occurred just one month ago, and
since then nothing lias been said about
it until yesterday, when the follow
ing letter was received from a gentleman,
who claims to have witnessed the same
phenomenon which startled Dr. Julihn:
Meriden, Conn., Sept. 13, 1887.
To the Editor of the Post, In your issue of
Aug. 15, 1837, there is a notice of the death of
Mrs. William G. Norris, of your city, at 2 a. m.,
Sunday, Aug. It. I attended a spiritual seance
that Sunday evening at the residence of Mi s.
H. V. Ross, who is said to be a materializing
medium, at Onset, Mass.
There was present Dr. Julihn, 938 C street
southwest, office Seventh street southwest,
Washington, D. C., who was called up to the
cabinet by what seems to be a frail lady, who
called him by name, and gave her own as Mrs.
Norris, of Washington, D. C., and conversed
with him for several minutes, and he then in
troduced her to the writer and several others
who were present.
The doctor stated to me that he hod been her
family physician for the past threr-syears, anil
that he was an entire stranger to every one in
the house except, one gentleman, and he knew
nothing of his personal matters or of the death
of Mrs. Norris. The circumstance is so remark
able that if you think it of any importance you
are at liberty to use it in your columns. Re
spectfully, J. W. Ca dwell.
DR. JULIHN TELLS HIS STORY.
When this letter was received yesterday
a reporter called at Dr. Julihn’s office. He
found the physician to be a genial and, to
all appearances, an intellectual man, ana as
he was ushered into a small and cosy room
nearly filled with medical books and drugs,
where the doctor receives his callers, be
made known the remarkable story that had
just been received.
“I will tell you all about it,” said the phy ■
sioian, his face at once assuming a grave
expression. “Mrs. Norris had been sick for
some months before her death; so sick, in
fact, that for weeks before I had to inform
her husband that there was no chance of
saving her life, and that her death was but
a question of time. I attended her regu
larly, however, until Aug. 12, when, finding
it necessary to leave the city to go to Onset,
Mass., I paid my last visit to her. I told
her that I had to leave, and she begged me
not to go. My departure was, however,
imperatively 'demanded, and I arranged
with Mr. Norris that he should telegraph
me in the event of Mrs. Norris’ demise
during my absence so that I could mail a
certificate of death.
INVITED TO A SEANCE.
“This was on Friday, and on Sunday I
was at Onset. Business had nearly driven
my Washington patients out of my head,
when about noon a telegram was brought
me. It was from Mrs. Norris’ son, inform
ing me that his mother had just died. I im
mediately mailed a certificate and then
started out for a walk. Near my hotel I
met Stephen A. Morse, of the firm of Morse,
Williams & Cos., elevator manufacturers in
Philadelphia, at No. 411 Cherry street. I
five you these details so as to show that I
o not expect any one to believe this story
merely on my statement. Morse and I were
both strangers in the town, and in the course
of our conversation ho told me that he had
an invitation to a spiritualistic seance to be
held that afternoon. I knew little of such
things, but when he asked me to accompany
him I readily consented.
“In a few moments I found myself in a
room with about eighteen other persons,
none of whom I knew. The room was but
dimly lighted, and at one end was a recess,
before which wore hung two heavy curtains.
Above the curtains was a small window,
which admitted light to the room. When
the performance began I saw some remark
able manifestations, but was not over-inter
ested until a materialized form resembling
an old lady came from the cabinet and ad
vanced toward mo.
WAS IT MRS. NORRIS’ SPIRIT*
“The lady walked with evident difficulty
i'ust as I had siien Mrs. Norris do, dragging
ler limbs as though in great pain, and re
sembled in every particular Mrs. Norris.
When she reached me she took my hand and
gently pulled me toward the cabinet. I fol
lowed mechanically, and when we had ad
vanced a step or two, she turned to me and
asked: “Where's Carry'” that being the
name of Mrs. Norris’ eldest daughter. Her
voice sounded distinctly and was heard by
every ono in the room.’ ‘ Who are you,’ I
asked, finding my voice with difficulty.
‘Doctor, I am Mrs. Norris,’ was the reply,
‘and,’ she continued, ‘they brought me here
telling me that I could find my doctor from
Washington. But where am I?’ she ex-
Claimod, looking around her. *What has
happened to me, I feel so well?’
“This rather puzzled me, but I told her
that she had died or passed into the spirit
world, as I understood 't, and that her
friends had brought her to me to help her
to realize her changed condition. I then
recalled to her the fact that I left her in
Washington a few days before when I bado
her good-by, Bhe passed her hand across
her brow as it' endeavoring to recollect,
and then said * Yes, yes, I remember.’ She
again asked for Carry several times and
finally left me and -peared.”
THE PHYSICIAN’S OPINION.
“What is your opinion regarding this
strange manifestation?’’ asked the re
porter.
“I am satisfied that I saw Mrs. Norris;
but I can explain nothing else. What I
have related to you is ns it occurred, and it
was witnessed by quite a number of peoplo
who also hoard the conversation.”
“When the form took your hand did its
hand feel natural?”
“Perfectly so, and she loaned on my arm
just as flesh ami blood would have done. I
cannot say now whether or not I experi
enced any sensoof weight. It is a very extrn
orqinary occurence,” continued the Doctor,
“and 1 wish you could communicate with
Mr. Morse in order to prove tho truth of
what I have just told you.”
After 1 riviug Dr. Julihn, the reporter
next called at tho houso of Mr. Norris, the
husband of tho deceased, und ascertained
there that, no far as tho doctor’s statement
concerning Ins attendance on Mrs. Norris
urn) the conversation with mcinliers of tho
family are concerned, it is perfectly cor

Washington, where lie hiut quite an exten

not lie wus n former believed’ in spirit uallsin,

himself, has given him a decided leaning in
that direction. Tlie doctor clainiH that die
had not seen any of the witnesses of the af

quaintance ended almost immediately after.

COL. WINNING
Tho Victim Stole it From His Father,
and the Gambler Won it From the
! Thief.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
I Col. George Duval was seated in a well-
I known resort with a party yesterday,
i Yarns were spun by the dozen. The Col
j onel listened quietly for a short time, and
j then asked if any of the jmrty had ever
I heard him tell of his trip from Now Or
; leans, to Matamoras. Being requested to tell
j his experience, he said:
“It was during the war. I thought tlmt
I I would make a trip over into Mexico. So
I I packed up my ‘tools’ and took passage on
a bark-rigged vessel, which was also a
screw-steamer. Well, there were about forty
passengers on board, and w o lmd u pleasant
time for the fii-st two days out to sea, but
ou the third day there came on a storm
which tore the sails into strings, and the
sailors could not stay on deck without hold
ing on to the chains’or some of the lower
rigging. It so happened that when the
storm got started that I wars upon deck. I
had been all night playing poker with the
Captain and pursor. I saw at a glance that
I could not get down into tho cabin, so I
laid flat down on deck and got hold of a coil
of chain, and there I lay, expecting every
moment that the vessel would turn bottom
side up. It so happened that there was a
young man from New York on board, who
was going over on business, His father
was a very rich man in New’ York, and
when he got to New Orleans anti showed
letters from his father, some member of a
rich firm in New Orleans gave him a pack
age of $12,000 to be delivered in Browns
ville, Tex. It happened that ho was also on
deck at the time of danger, and after the
storm abated he came down into the cabin
and said:
“ ‘Gentlemen, I am a ruined man.'
“ ‘How so?’ asked some ono of the passen
gers.
“ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘I had twelve SI,OOO
bills in an envelope intrusted to my care,
and I had it in my inside coat pocket,
and the wind blew my coat over my
head, and I saw tho pnekogo go into the
Gulf.’
“ “Well, we all felt sorry for him,’ said
George.
“He said that his father would have to
pay every dollar of the money, as the par
ties that sent it were great friends of his
father. A poker game was kept up until we
reached Bagdad, and the result was that
myself anil partner got away with about
$1,300; but the old Captain said he had
played poker for fifty years and never
played in such hard luck. We got on a
lighter and were taken on shore. Then we
took the stage for Brownsville. The Cap
tain and purser were in the party. We had
not been there long before dinner was ready,
so I was very hungry, and I sat down, and
had just got fairly at work when in came a
squad of soldiers, and the Captain of the
squad called out for me. I must admit that
I felt a little ticklish, but I raises! up from
the table and said that Duval was my name.
He said: ‘The General wants you. Fall in
line.’ So I took my hat arid started. They
had their muskets pointing at me until we
arrived at the Provost Marshal’s office. The
Captain of the vessel and purser and several
of the passengers were also summoned there
as witnesses®. The General knew me, I
having met him in Dubuque, lowa., several
years previous. He said to me: ‘Duval, you
must give back that $12,000 you won from
that young man coming over on the ves
sel.’
“ ‘General,’ I said. ‘I played no cards with
that man, and I did not win one dollar from
him.’
“He then summoned the witnesses, who
all told the same story—that the man never
plavod a card on the trip over. I was hon
orably discharged. That night we made up
a party to go over into Matamoras and have
a little fun. Who should one of the party
be but tho young New Yorker. We com
menced drinking wine and fine fancy
brandy. Finally we left the saloon and
went over to a gambling house. It was a
very flue one. I looked around the table a
minute and then my eyes caught on to a
New Orleans man who was playing a thirty
six roulette w heel. I shook hands with him,
and he turned to a fine-looking Mexican and
said:
“ ‘General, this is Mr. Duval from New
Orleans, Gen. Cortonius.’
“‘Mr. Duval, lam happy to know you,’
said the General.
“So the game went on, and I saw the Gen
eral was a high roller. He bet $5,000 on
one turn on the colors. I thought I would
play a little, as I felt happy over the wine
and brandy; so I took out a hundred dollar
bill and laid it down on tho black, as it had
come red three times previous. It won. I
left it lay, and it came black again;so ! just
picked up my money and turned around and
said: ‘Well, boys, I see you are not going
to play. Let’s go back to the saloon.’ Go
ing over to the snloon my little New Yorker
got hold of my arm and said to me that he
wished he could gamble like me. He said
that if I played again he would like to stand
in with ine. That struck me as being all
right. I saw’ that the liquor had com
menced to work on him, so I said all l ight.
We went over to the saloon and got a few
more drinks, and I made a proposition that
I would go over to the gamming house and
make another plav. ATI agreed to go, so
over we went. When we got inside the
house the New Yorker pulled me to one side
aud asked:
“ ‘How much money are yon going to
risk?’
“ 'About $2,000,’ I answered.
“He was by that time pretty full, and
took out of of his pocket a brand-new SI,OOO
note and slipped it to ma I was too smart
to take it, and called one of the proprietors
to one side and asked him to give mv friend
some small money for the SI,OOO bill. He
did so. You see, I knew that all of the sl,-
000 bills that he said were lost at sea were
new and hadn’t been rumpled. I rnaile a bet
of S4OO and lost it. Then I bet $.300 and
won. I played for about ten minutes, and
quit S6OO winner. I gave him half of the
winnings and his money he put up for the
stake, and we went out to have some fun;
but I stuck to my boy, as I knew where the
$12,000 was and was determined to have it.
Ho thought I was the smartest man in the
world, and had great confidonco in me. We
went over to Brownsville toward morning.
Wo went to bod and had a good sleep and
were ready for the next night. Woll, I posted
my partner as to what I had in view. I told
him not to notice me, and not to come where
I was until I gave him the office to come.
After supper tlmt night I said to my York
friend:
“ “I, do wish that I could find someone
who would play poker with me, as 1 thought
it was liko finding money for me to get a
gamo.’
“ “Ho I think,’ said lie, ‘and, Duval if you
do get up a gunie I want to bo partners with
you.’
“ ‘All right,my boy, you shall not get left,’
I replied.
"Wo did not gamble that night at the
wheel, but tho next day 1 suggested to him
that we go down to Bagdai I and see if we
could get up a game of poker. He was
willing, and I paid my bill, but left my va
lise nnd roulette wheel, and told my partner
to come down on tho following day nnd
bring tho things. He earno. There was only
one hotel In the place. The New Yorker
recognized my friend, and said to me after
■upper:
‘Do you recollect the man who played
with vou and tho purser comingover?’
“ ‘f did, of course.’
“ ‘Well, he is here, for I <aw him. Per
haps lie might play with us,’ said the
Yorker. _ ..
"I said all right, that I would asked
him. Ho we went out on the poreh, and
I spoke to my partoer. We shook hands,
we took a cigar, and at last I said to
him:
** ‘I have oome down here to pass away a
few days and have a little fun. I was think
ing of getting up a game of poker.’
“He said that lie would plav a little while,

HOW TO GET RICH.
Gen. B. F. Butler to Young Men Who
Would be Thrilty.
Tho Boston Herald prints the following
letter from Gen. Benjamin F. Butler:
Boston. Mass., Aug. 28, 1887
Dear Sir: I hare received your note asking
me to write some practical bints for young men
on the acquirement, of wealth, which may be
published.
A difficult task is set me. as the circumstances
under which young men commence life are so
widely varied. Hut I think that more young
men rail in the investment of what they earn
or receive than in any other way to aequire
property. The temptations to speculate are so
great, and the desire to become suddenly, rich
so sinmg that I believe eight out of ten, If not,
more, or young men are wrecked ut the very
beginning:
If a young man is earning something more
than the expense of his living, and has no ob
jeot in view, he is likely either to increase those
expenses carelessly, or to loan his money to his
friends, and in so doing in the majority of cases
he will lose both friends and money, so that the
best thing that he can do is to have an object,
to gather up his money, and to have a eall for it
which shall be a profitable one. He makes no
investment because he says; '“I have got so lit
tle money that it won't come to anything, I will
wait until I get more:” and in waiting, gener
ally, what ne has goes,
When a young man has a very little money
let him buy some property, preferably a piece,
however small, according to his means, of im
proved real estate t'tutt is paying rent. He had
better buy it when sold at auction, under a
judicial sale, paying in cash what he can, giving
bis notes for the balance in small sums coining
due at frequently recurring intervals, secured
by a mortgage on the property, and then use all
his extra income in paying up those notes. It
is always safe to discount your own note, and if
the notes come a little too fust as soon as he
gets anything paid his friends will aid him when
lie is putting lus money where it cannot be lost,
and where the property Is taking care of the
interest, and in a very short time he will find
that he lias got a very considerable investment.
He will become interested in it, save
his money to meet his notes, and lie will
directly come into a considerable
possession of property, and hardly know
how it came to him. That is, he will
have had a motive for saving, and will get the
result of that saving, arid wnl not be tempted to
enter into speculations. Not hing is so safe for
an investment as improved real estate. Nothing
is likely to grow in value faster. In the last
fifty years SK) per cent, of all the merchants and
traders in Boston have failed. In the last fifty
years 90 per cent, of all the business corpora
tions have failed or gone out of business, so that
their stock tins been wiped out. In the last fifty
years all the improved real estate on the aver
age lius paid its interest and taxes and
quadrupled in value. If a young mans father
can give him anything to start him in the world
he had better invest it in t hat way and let it ac
cumulate and earn his liviog, and he will be
richer I han if he had gone into business. Jay
Gould is said to have started from a mouse trap
seller to become a millionaire. Assuming that
to lie true, he is only one of 80,000,000 of people;
and if any young man thinks that he is goingto
imitate Jay Gould there are 00,000,000 chances to
one that he won’t succeed.
The rule I would lay down for n young man is
never do a mean thing for money. Be prudent
anil saving of your money. Be careful to have
no interest account running against you unless
you have an equal or greater interest account
running in your favor. Work diligently and
you are sure of a competency in your old age,
and as early as possible, if you can. find a
saving, prudent girl who has linen brought up
by a mother who knows how to take care of a
house, and make a wife of her, she will aid anil
not hinder you.
I claim no originality in this advice, and will
relate you an incident in my own experience to
illustrate it: In my earliest pi act ice in my pro
fession I was quite successful in earning money,
and I had a small lxilauue in the Lowell Bank,
at tho head of which was Mr. James G. Carney.
The !>ank was directly across the hall from my
office. I stepped into the hank to deposit a little
money on one occasion, and Mr. Carney said to
me: “Why don’t you invest your money v" “in
vest." said I; “1 have nothing to invest." “Oh,
yes,” lie says, "you have quite a little sum of
money, and I see that your young friends
come with your checks occasionally, evi
dently borrowing it. Now, you had liel ter in
vest it.” "How can I invest it: " “Invest it in
real estate." “1 know nothing about real
estate." "Go to the first auction and buy the
property. You cannot be much cheated in that
because you will have to give very little more
than somebody else w ill ho willing to pay for it.
Give your notes for it, save your money, collect
your fees, pay our notes as they become due.
See thni the property is improved property, so
that the rent will keep down your interest ac
count, und when you get any other money in
vest it in the same way, arid if your notes press
upon you a little taster than you can pay them,
why, wo vriU, when wo find that is what you are
doing with your money, discount your note and
give you a little more time, so that you can pay
it up. This will necessitate the promptcollection
of your bills, for 1 know that you would rather
work and earn SIOO than dun a man for it, un
less you have a pressing need for it. You have
not even asked for a little bill that we owe you
in the bank, which shows me that you do not
promptly collect your dues.” I followed the
advice and bought a number of pieces of prop
erty in that- manner, and I never did exactly
know bow they were paid for, but they were,
and in a few years! owned some twenty differ
ent. pieces of property ill Lowell that came to
me in that way. I can only say that I wish I
had linen wise enough to have continued this
course through life.
I do not think that 1 need to extend these sug
gestions any further, because if a young man
won't mind these he won't any others, and I can
not suggest any better ones. lam yours truly,
Benjamin F. Butler.
A WONDERFUL LITTLE ENGINE.
The Invention of a New Jersey Man
In the Way of Motive Power.
From the Philadelphia Times.
A littio engine no bigger than ft base
burning stove, with a ten-horse power ca
pacity, has just been completed by Mr.
George M. Richnrds, of Now Brunswick,
N. J., after eleven years of unremitting
experimenting and work. It is an oil en
gino, but not in tho sense of an engine that
tins oil for a fuel to generate steam. There
isn't any steam about it. The engine hasn’t
any boiler, fire box, or highly heated parts,
and, on that account, it is absolutely safe
from fire and explosion.
No engineer is needed. By an ingenious
device oil and air generate a* vapor which
finds a place in a chamber. When tho gas
or vajior is ignited-it gives motion to the
piston, and without any further attention
the engine will run ilntil stopped. The cyl
inders, of which those are two, are small ar
rangements, but of Wonderful strength. Tho
motive power is obtained by tho use of
crude petroleum, or kerosene oil and com
pressed air. To run a 10-horse power engine
all day costsaliout thirty cents, at the pres
ent price of petroleum.
A singular feature of the engine, though
sreiniug unnecessary in view of the cheap
ness of the nil, is, tlikt it can Is: regulated to
run at either dim*, two, three or* more horse
] lower, according to the demands made
upon it. Tlie governor is so sensitive that
it limits the supply of oil strictly to the
amount of pownr used. A five-horse [>ower
engine will consume übout one gallon of oil
per hour, and the engine costs nothing
while standing idle. As soon as the vapor
in the chamber is ignited that instant the
air-chamber begins its work, and the on tiro
establishment is in full running order.
Tiic air used is emnorosoel by the engine it
self to anv required ihmsity, from sixty to
100 jsmnds to the square inch. Thus far
Mr Rich ards'hss confined himself to en
giues of tun hum oower, Irut he said to-day
that engines of fifty-horse power can 1m
math- without any difficulty.
