rELENS BANNER U ^DAV MORNING DECEMBERS, i8*Jl AND MADE TO CONVERSE. The Uncanny Beings Can Rap on the Table—An Interesting Seance In Which a Number Teh Shoe'ia the Spirit. It was a jolly crowd that sat dowit to the table, turned the lights, low, placed their hands on the table and waited for the spirit to come. . . . ^ This happened the-other night at one of oar fashionable houses m the city. There was in the company a cultured widow, a blushing bride, an attractive young lady, » young business man. one who bad thrown ofl the state of single blessedness, a college J>oy. and, a citi- zerf.'

At last the spirits came and the little table began to kick up all.kinds.of An tics. It was'especially fond of stand ing on one leg and that leg was near by — who was especially quiet und intent. When it bad finished cutting its ca pers, the table settled Sown, like the young man who sows bis wild oats, gets married, and finds that his better half is art ezpei t in handling the broomstick. After several questions from the me dium the centre of the table was loudly rapped and a spirit announced herself from the other world where she had been for six years. Upon being asked for her name she refused to give it, and with true wo-, manly instinct refused to intimate her age: She wished to talk to tbe young business man who sat at the ta ble. Many questions passed to andfro and were satisfactorily answered, so much so that the medium and others were highly pleased and believed that a xeal spirit from the other world was present with them. Finally the question of matrimony was reached and the spirit was asked if the young man would ever get married. “Yes” was the reply with two dis- inc t raps upon the table. “What is her name,”was asked. Tlien the medium called through the alpha bet, until the letter “N” was reached. Here the spirit rapped upon the tat-le. In this manner the name was spelled out and found to be N P- “This is a farce and a humbug,” ex claimed the young man, Who believed hiioself to be thoroughly ingratiated into the affections of another young lady. With that the spirit refused to talk . any more with any presumptuous mor- . t&l who would dare question her exis tence. This spirit was then sent oft after another and in two minutes returned with the spirit of a gentleman who bad been dead seven years. After an interesting conversation tiia spirit left, and a black imp from the lower regions came up to speak wi th the College boy, followed by that of a disappointed lover to sjieak with the young married couple. The seance over, all agreed that it was a most wonderful thing, and that the revelations were exactly true. F,ach one was asked if he or she bad done anything towards causing the raps. All replied in the negative, until the last gentleman was reached, when he simply held up a number ten foot that had rested within two inches of tbe ta ble leg. *“0b, shaw!” was the only reply, “You mean thing, you ought to be aahamedjof. yoursel f.*” The young man had grown tired of waiting for the spirits to come, and bad manufactured them himself. The scene ended in confusion. K>nui Mortgage Statement. Topeka, Deo. 22.—The Daily Capi'tel taints the eighth monthly mortgage statement from registers of deeds of fifty-five counties in Kansas. The total mortgages released is $1,601,164; total leoarfied $1,118,800. Excess of farm mortgages released, $487,866. The cty mortgages show a net reduction o! £ 1,859. The total net reduction of in- btedneas for the month of November, on bqth farm and city mortgages, in fifty-five counties is $573,225. Take the same ratio of reduction for the twent;y- three remaining counties east of the one-hundredth meridian, and it leaves $881,738 as the amount of debt reduc tion in eastern and central Kansas for tbe month of November.

Schools, using, for school houses, old dwellings, churches and skating rinks. The city did not own a single building suitable for the purpose. About a dozen young teachers inex perienced in graded work, constituted the corps of instruction. The system has grown year by year until the three hundred pupils at the begining now number about twelve hundred and fifty in round numbers; the old dwellings, churches and skating rinks have given away to commodious brick buildings with modern appliances; and the corps of instruction now num bers twenty-nine skilled teachers, full of energy and enthusiasm in tbe pur suit of their chosen profession. Even this number is not large enough to meet the demands of the situation properly. Just here, it is proper to note that the cost of tuition per pupil per month last year, as shown by the Superintendent’s report was only $1.20; whereas to edu cate our children under tbe old regime of privaie.schools would jeost at least twice as much. THK PRESENT STATUS. The little tots who entered school the 2nd of last September, their little minds blank as when they were born, in so far as text book Information is concerned, are now finishing Monroe’s chart, and chart Primer; having learned to read readily’ about one hundred words,and with cor rect emphasis too. They can write a legible hand. They can readily make and solve problems through tbe num ber six involving the four fundamental processes. They know the cardinal points; and can talk intelligently about the sphere, cube and cylinder, thus ac cumulating experiences to be used in their “form” work later. When Li quid Measure is to be taught tbe pupils are not asked to learn to talk and re cite it at the next lesson, bat they take the measures ‘hemselves and ascettaln that two pints make a quart and so on. A WISE APPROPRIATION. The Board et Education very wisely appropriated tbe sum of $50 to increase the supply of apparatus for teaching Physics. This subject is taught, not from tbe book, but from experiment, the pupil reaching hia own conclusions then reading the textbook to 'find his inference corroborated. THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT. The outlook for the schools iB bright. Early in the new year, the negroes will leave the Baxter St., echool and take np their quarters in the two new buildings now under way, the one, a large six room house in Brooklyn, and the other near the G. C. & N-, R. R., in East Ath ens. This will leave the Baxter St., school open for the establishment of a new grammar school for whites in every respect tbe counterpart of tbe Washing ton St., school. When these changes are made Athena will have school facil ities to provide for her young people comfortably several years. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Dec. 21.—The ground in the vicinity of Gaylor’s slope, at Plymouth, began to settle suddenly, and in less than two honrs the surface, to the extent of two or three acres, broke np and caved in. The big breaker of the mine is very shaky, and may fall any moment. The engine house, oil house and storage rooms surrounding the breaker, are gradually sinking, and tbe machinery is being moved as fast as possible by gangs of men, who work in great danger, as the surface may cave in and bury them at any moment. The house of a miner named Richard Glace, which began to sink late in the afternoon, is now in ruins. Glace and his family escaped. The officials of the mine are unable to account for tbe sinking.

A FRIGHTFUL STORY Of Mordar and Cannibalism Cornea from a Town in Poland. Vienna, Deo. 2h—■A frightful story of murder and cannibalism comes from Mjechow, a small town in Russian Po land, in the province of Kielce. Three peasants enticed a shoemaker named Levanoffsky into a forest under the pre tence of showing him where some money was concealed. When they had reached a secluded place in the woods they turned upon the man and beat him to death. He was known to carry a considerable sum of money with him, and to get this was the object of the murder. Being anxious to conceal the crime, they stripped it and cat it to pieces. Then they gathered a quantity of wood and heaped it about the re mains and started a fire. As soon as the fire was under headway the mur derers left the spot. The fire went out without having consumed, all tbe body. Later on a workman from the same vicinity was passing near the scene of the murder, and saw a piece of half suo uiuiuoi v auu can a vi unu roasted flesh in the ashes of what had been a fire. He supposed that some one had been cooking game, and had left part of it there. He took the flesh home and told friends of his luck in finding it. As meat was a rare luxury they readily complied. While devour ing the horrible food, some one accused the finder of having stolen the meat. To prove that he was not a thief, he in vited them to accompany him tP the forest. There a closer search uncovered other remains of the murdered shoe maker, and horrified the men with the evidence of what they had been eating, It was ascertained that Lavanoffsky was missing, and the murderers were arrested.
