METROPOLITAN SEERS. 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.” i: if; i •• k V ' 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. Charles J. Rosebault.

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.

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. Quality tells, not price.
