THE WICKED WAYS OP NEW YORK
CLAIRVOYANTS.
How Poor Girls, Greenhorns from the
( ountry and Negro Gamblers are
Ensnared and Robbed Scenes in the
Prophesy Mongers’ Dens.
New York, Deo 10.—Every day for
many moons, as I have glanced over the
newspapers in the morning, my eyes have
been struck by announcements of this na
ture:
“ATTENTION! —Wonderful gypsy clair
voyant from Europe; born with second sight;
every hidden mystery revealed; tells your
life from cradle to grave; recovers stolen
property; finds absent friends; removes all
bad influences: gives good success in busi
ness ; tells of stocks, also winning horses; re
moves family troubles; causes speedy mar
riage: brings separated together; gives pict
ure of one you marry; lias the great gypsy
charm; those wishing the truth should call;
all letters answered with stamp; open Sun
days; satisfaction or no charge. Prof. Paul,
405 Sixth avenue.”
There were many of these in every edition,
and all were as startling and wonderful as
the one quoted. Humbug and fraud peered
from every word and line. 1 determined to
learn what they really meant and if possible
to expose them. To do this I rigged myself
up as a countryman, put on as innocent an
expression as possible, and started out to
learn my fortune. I have acquired enough
information by my experimentto know that
t here are more than one hundred awful liars
in this town who are living well and rolling
up fortunes on the gullibility of poor, hard
working men and women.
I have also been greatly surprised to find
that frauds carried on so openly, and adver
tised so publicly, are winked at by the same
New York police who boast their superiority
over all guardians of the peace mother parts
of the world. There can be no excuse for
their apparent ignorance of the existence of
these humbugs, as it is a matter of notoriety.
All these frauds daily extract large sums
of money from the pockets of poor servant
girls and other superstitious poor people. I
learned that the customers of those alleged
magicians, astrologers, and gypsy fortune
tellers are mostly women. Among the men
the colored element is greatly in the major
ity. The latter are known to put implicit
faith In the flummery with which these
frauds carry on their business. The darkey
appplies to them for tips on the races, for
winning numbers in policy, and for inform
ation in all the events of his ordinary life.
The money spent by colored gentlemen daily
in this way would be enough to keep many
families in comfort throughout the year. I
was surprised to find among the customers
in these places a number of intelligent look
ing men and women.
The first place that I struck in my trip
was a little brick house in East Thirtieth
street, not far from Third avenue. There
was nothing remarkable or awe-inspiring
about this house except a small, highly
polished brass plate, which was fastened be
tween one of the front windows and the
entrance, against the brick wall. It bore the
simple inscription: “Mrs. Eppinger, Gypsy
Fortune Teller,” 541 East Thirtieth street.
I rang the bell and an ordinary looking
German servant girl opened the door. I
walked in expecting to see a dark hall
decorated with mysterious monstrosities and
an atmosphere filled with sulphur. I was
greatly mistaken. It was a very common,
everyday sort of hall, with plain kalso
minitl wails. A pungent odor of onions and
garlic betrayed the fact that the kitchen
was not far away. I was shown into the
parlor. It was furnished in the regulation
style of ordinary well-to-do people, with
furniture upholstered in green serge and a
Brussels carpet of a very large and flaring
pattern. I was invited to sit down in broken
German and await the coming of the mys
terious madame. I had sat there only about
two minutes when she entered.
She was a portly, good-humored looking
woman with unmistakable German features
and a strong German accent. Upon niy
telling her that I had come in from Long
Island to learn about a missing horse that
had been stolen from my barn, she said she
could undoubtedly tell me all about it. She
drew up a common looking table containing
several drawers and covered with green
baize. From one of the drawers she drew
a package of cards, some of which were
decorated with pictures, and others were
ordinary playing cards. She also drew out
a table containing a schedule of her prices.
SHE SHUFFLED THE CARDS.
To find out who bad taken my horse and
the chances of its being returnod to me, she
informed me would cost me 12. For a simple
description of the thief it would cost 50c.,
for information which would enable me to
recover the horse it would be $2 50 and for
this, together with the story of my future,
I would have to pay $6. This was announced
in a shrewd and strictly business-like man
ner to be very cheap. I told her that I
"anted only a description of the thief as I
had my suspicions as to who he was. I laid
down 50c., which she pocketed without any
further ceremony. Then she took the cards,
shuffled them in a dexterous manner, and,
as she shuffled dropped three with their faces
down upon the table.
“Now,” she said, with what was intended
to be an impressive manner, “I mast hide
my eyes for a moment so that it may be re
vealod to me which of those cards contains
the information you desire.”
1 nodded in acquiescence. She covered
her eyes with a plump, rather dirty looking
hand, which was ornamented with two plain
gold rings. She stood for a moment in that
attitude, then, with her eyes staling straight
ahead, she put down her hand and grasued
the middle card. This she turnd over and
then resumed her natural attitude. The
picture on the card was a ship at sea.
“That means,” she said, “that the man
who took your horse was light, haired,smooth
faced, with dark blue eyes and a scar on his
J* ft temple. He resides not far from your
house. I can tell you what he did with the
horse, but that will cost you 50b. more.”
To encourage her I drew out another half
dollar and laid it on the table. This was also
pocketed at once.
“He took the horse,” she said, “after mid
night, when the family was asleep. He gave
it to a confederate, a dark-haired man with
swarthy skin, who looks like an Italian, and
this mam took the horse to Hong Island City.
1 think you will find it at the horse market
>n fwenty.fourth street.”
“What do you mean by saying that the
ramiiy was asleep?” I asked. “I have no
c.Wv• am a bachlor.”
‘Veil," she replied. “I know that, but
‘ srds sometimes don’t tell so very direct,
, '-s we inquire minutely. Don’t you want
)wu- foi tune told?”
'"““w much will that cost?” I asked.
,*'■ '•ho replied.
'Veil let me think,” I said.
•lust, then the bell rang and a poorly dress
i prl came in. She looked like a working
*■" 1 llu 'J I judged her to be a servant. I
j deteii mined cost what it might, to remain
| ana listen to her dialogue with the fortune
| teJler - J be latter seemed to be not unwill
! U ' K ' rerhans she thought that might lead
"do further expenditures.
I-■ i sf V‘ f ! s ' lf, t addressing herself to the
! K'H. what is it this morning I Hasnotyour
sweetheart come back yet f
1 be girl whose face had a yearning look,
re Pij, ,, ‘l sadly, uj dreamed of him last night.’'
Jel me your dream,” said the fortune
teller, and for $ 1 I can tell you when you
can see him.” J
“I dreamt,” replied the girl, as she took
a ," ur bill from her scanty purse,
'that lie was standing by my bedside and
that he looked at me very angry, and he
j’r b e w never coming back no more
and that I was no good. I called to him, but
he turned away, and then I woke up cry
ing.”
“Dreams alwftjT! go by contraries," said
the fortune teller, briskly, “he will be back
very soon. You wait a "minute and I will
look through an egg into the mirror and
then I can tell just when he will come.”
TV hile she went to the closet for the egg
the girl stood motionless with a half hope
ful, half despondent look. The madame
took the egg, and raising it to her eye, ap
pealed to be looking through it into a heavy
plate glass hand mirror. “I see him,” she
said,"standing on the deck of asteamer. Ho
is going to Boston. He is there now. He will
be Pack soon. He already repents. He has
been offered a good job and he intends to
come back to his wedding. You may be
happy.”

SEEING FATE THROUGH AN EGG. f
The girl brightened up at once. Tears
sprang into her eyes and she pressed the
hand of the old humbug, who could hardly
contain her laughter, with great sincerity.
Then .she hurried out of the room. I started
up to follow her. As I did so I pushed a card
off the table. It fell face up, showing the ace
of diamonds.
“Come again soon,” shouted the old hag
after me, “and have your fortune told. You
are in good luck. A diamond turned up
means that you will have lots of money.”
I hurried out of the house and caught up
with the servant girl.
“Do you go there often?” I asked her.
“Oh, yes,” she said, “I go there nearly
every week. Whenever I feel bad I go there
and find out what I should do to get well,
and whenever anything happens to me I
always go there to find out what it means.
She is an awful wonderful woman, Mine.
Eppinger is. She told me lots of things
t hat’s come true. She’s a real gypsy, I know.
She told me the last time I was going to
have a caller, and sure enough my father
came in from the country two days after
ward.”
I saw there was no use in trying to con
vince her of her folly and left her.
The next place I called at was on Sixth
avenue. The advertisement which had
drawn me there read something like this:
“ASTONISHING! NO EQUAL!—The
seventh son of a seventh son; born with a
veil and second sight; every hidden mystery
truthfully revealed; removes troubles; evil
influences; settles lovers’ quarrels; brings
separated together; causes speedy marriages
by pper advice; tells if the one you love is
true or false: advice to gentlemen in business;
Egyptian magic mirror; descended in a true
line from the ancient Kings of Romany.
Call and see PROF. PAUL, 405 Sixth av
enue.”
The astrologer’s den was one flight up,
over a very common-place grocery store.
The entrance was through a pair of glass
doors and the interior was hidden by red
enrtains. As I opened the door a gong struck
with a far away sound and immediately
thereafter there was a tinkling of silver
toned bells. The room was dark and hung
in red. The walls were covered with a dark
red cloth, in whose folds mystery seemed to
lurk. The chandelier was in the form of a
dragon’s head, and stuffed weird looking
animals covered a shelf which ran around
the room not far from the ceiling. Here at
last was a real den of mystery.
Immediately after the reverberations of
the bell had ended a small gifl with a know
ing face appeared. She was dressed in red,
wit h a red turban on her head, red slippers
on her feet and long red stockings showing
beneath her short red skirt. She came from
another apartment, separated from that in
whichjl was in by long red portiere curtains
hung on a brass rod. She inquired of me
whom I desired to see. Upon being informed
that I wanted the famous astrologer, Prof.
Paul, she retired to the mysterious apart
ment behind the curtain, and again there
was a tinkling of bells.
j||
THE SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON.
Then there was a division in the curtains,
revealing an aperture the size of the window
at the box office of a theatre. Through this
aperture I beheld the man of mystery. He
was indeed an awful apparition and must
have had a terrible effect upon woak nerved
females.
“1 am the seventh son of a seventh son,”
he said, “what is your pleasure?”
I rinused a moment and surveyed him as
delioorntely as possible before answering.
He was as near the stage edition of Menhis
toplieles as any 1 have seen and could have
given Irving points on makeup. A long red
mantle in which he was wrapped descended
to the floor. Tho upper part of bis face was
covered by a fiery red mask, beneath which
appeared the traditional waxed mustache.
A blood red cowl with a plethoric tassel
covered the upper part of his head. His
hands were gloved in material of the same
into us the cowl and looked like talons.
The suddenness of his appearance had
rather disconcerted me. I had entered with
no preconcerted plan of wlmt l intended to
say. I was saved from my dilemma, how
ever by the entrance of another seeker after
hidden mysteries. It was a young plump
and pretty girl. The Professor hastily with
drew upon tho sound of the bell, and the
curtains fell back to their natural position.
The little girl again appeared and asked the
nowcomer what she wished.
“Tell the Professor,” said the latter, “that
my name is Maggie Tuck and I have again
come to see him about, the robbery.”
A deep guttural tone responded:
“Very well.”
The little girl said to me as she disappear
ed;
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1887.
“You wiil have to wait until the Professor
finishes with this ladv. He has an engage
ment with her.”
I was glad of tho opportunity this afford
ed mo of listening to the dialogue between
the Professor and the girl. I seated myself
surreptitiously in a chair near the aperture,
but where I would be unobserved. There
was another tinkling of liells and again the
curtains separated. The Professor appeared
at the opening, but this time his mask was
discarded. It revealed a face full of cunning.
The prominent characteristics were a liw
forehead, a prominent nose, small twinkling
eyes close to each other and an air of pro
tended benevolence.
“How' is it now?” he asked the girl.
“Oh, it is no better,” she replied; “they
all think that I took the jewelry. Because,
they say, I was the newest girl I am the
only person who could have taken it. I have
been looking for the tall, dark-haired woman
who you said is the thief, but I can’t find
her. lam afraid they will arrest me and I
did not take it.”
Here the girl’s voice became husky and
her eyes filled with tears.
“Yog are perfectly safe,” said the astro!-
loger. “I have looked up your horoscope
aud find that you were born under a lucky
star. You will have a good cliauce to get
married in your twenty-first year. Do not
miss it, for if you do there will not bo
another in twenty-four years. If you wish
I wi’lread your horoscope.”
The girl assented and the old wizard read
this, which I wrote down:
“According to Christian astrology as un
derstood for more than "000 years, not in
volving the Pagan doctrine of a fatal neees
ity, and following advancement in science
and development in spiritual mediumship
and clairvoyancy, hoping thereby to obtuin
a useful knowledge of the dangers of life and
a better solving of the mysterious problems
of human destiny subject to the will of a be
nevolent Providence, I. Prof. Paul, have
done this in my capacity as astrologer of the
nineteenth century and honorable follower
of the illustrious Ptolemy, Placidus, Galileo,
Zadkiel, Lilly, Raphael, and the great de
parted host of doctors of astrology, wizards
of occult science, and masters of human
destiny.”
The girl listened to all this with an air of
great awe, ami, though she seemed some what
puzzled and knitted her brows, she seemed
quite well satisfied with what she had been
told and laid down her dollar bill without
any reluctance.
“Now I tell you,” said the Professor, “you
are a good girl, and I like you very well.
You will come out of this matter all right.
I have been fifty-five years a student of
occult science and have cist many horo
scopes, learning the nativity of destinies,
casting the planets’ places and their aspects.
I am also a clairvoyant. Do you know what
that is?”
“Oh, a person who sees ghosts and has
talks with them,” said the girl, timidly.
“Yes,” he said, “it is one who can go into
a mediumistic condition, and tell of sick
ness and have communication with the
spirits of the departed. Go then in peace.”
The girl thanked him humbly for his kind
ness and went out. I felt a strong itching in
my right arm and decided inclination to
punch the old fellow’s head, but I restrained
myself.
“Now, sir,” he said, “what is it I can do
for your *
I told him the same yarn about my horse
being stolen, and asked him whether he could
find it for me.
“The mysteries of science,” he replied,
“can only be revealed after systematic in
quiry and careful investigation. If you de
sire I will east your horoscope, and learn
from tho planets" the outcome of your mis
fortune. To do this you must pay me
$2.”
I felt that it would be a sin to add an
other cent to the coffers of the hoary old
villain, so I avoided his question by asking
him what were his prices for tolling fortunes.
He held out a paper before me which was
covered with lines and circles.
“For 50 cents,” he said, “ I will allow you
to ask one question; for $1 50 I will outline
your future; for #2 50 you can ask me three
questions, of which I will answer one: for
$5 I will answer three questions, and for
$lO I wili tell you all you desire to know.”
I told him that I would think over it and
went out. I went to several other places,
and my experience was more or less the
same as in the first two. I found one place
where the astrologer pretended to be a
Hindoo. His room was furnished in sea
green, as were also all tho decorations. He
was a very cunning fellow and I could get
but very little out of him.
I was told also of a place where the China
men go, but into this admission could not
be obtained. In nearly all these places I
met many poor girls and some men. All
seemed imbued with a firm belief in the
mysteries which were related to them.
In each of the places where I went there
were evidences of prosperity. In very few
was there any difficulty of obtaining all the
evidence that would be necessary to convict
the fortune tellers of fraud. Most of them
were women, and their evil countenances im
pressed me with the belief that they would
not hesitate to advise the girls who came to
them to evil ways.

POISON OAK.
A Plague for 25 Years, But Cured by
the Use of Prickly Ash, Poke Root
and Potassium.
Dear Sir— In 1861 I broke out with an
attack of Poison Oak. Whether or not it
came hack on me during the next three
or four years I do not remember, but
from about 1865 to 1885 I suffered most
severely from repeated attacks of this
eruption. Tho use of some external
remedies gave a relief "twas only tem
porary—tul in ISt> I found that lodide
of Potassium and Syrup of Sarsaparilla
benefited me not a little. However, even
then I was not cured, for from 1882 to
1885 the attacks were more severe, pro
longed and frequent than ever, coming
upon me as many as four, and even five
times during the year. In the spring of
1885 I took a course of P. P. P., and
from that time I have been free from
eruptions of this poison. Only once,
early In this month, a few bumps ap
peared on my wrists, but dried up in a
day or t wo, being the dying throes, as it
were, of this horrid and loathsome dis
ease. After being plagued for about
twenty-five years with Poison Oak 1 con
sider myself cured, and by the use of
about one bottle of P. P. P.

CHiCKERING
PIANOS.
“SprlaW Perfect!”
Messrs. Chickering <£ Sons:
Gentlemen—After many years’ experi
ence as a pianist in this country and
Europe, and after iiaving used the instru
ments of the leading makers here and
abroad, it is with pleasure that I give to
you my matured opinion upon your pianos.
In them I find the purest, truest find most
musical tone, together with an action
which will answer my demands equally in
the most piannissimo playing and in the
heaviest forte effects, and combining these
qualities with an almost endless resonance.
I cun find for them no more fitting praise
thin that of the Great Maestro, Franz Liszt,
who declares them “Superlatively Perfect.”
(Signed) Julie Rive-King.
New York, October 11, 1887.
For the BEST Piano, mind you
we say BEST, buy the Chicker
ing. To be sure it’s not the
Highest-Priced Piano sold, but
it’s the BEST all the same.
