within aatone'a throw of tlio Natural Bridge.
The accessories are the nnrivaled natural en
vironments of Leokont, an octagonal parlllon,
a inoall building yclept ‘ The Cottage,” the
Natoral Bridge hotel, and several dormitories.
The drama i« the meeting of the Southern
Auoclation of Spiritualists. The actor* and
actxeuca will reveal themselves *• the drama
progresses.
1 arrived at the Natural Bridge hotel early
Sunday morning. Approaching the foot of
the mountain In a streetcar, 1 was for the drat
time madoawaro that J had hovering about
tne the inhabitants of tire spirit world. Air.
A. C. Ladd, of Atlanta, suddenly turned to
lue, pointed the ir.dex f
over n-y shoulder, and i
“I aee a frier.d rf yonrs behind you.”
I inrmd hastily to apeak to the friend so
unexpectedly j resent, l>nt Mr. Ladd Inter*
rupud me.
“Your friend,” he seid, “Is not In the flub,
but in the spirit.”
Ho then prrtoeded to describe, with astou*
Dbing accuracy, a friend whom it was lmpoa*
fiblo that lie ever could have known.
Your description n correct,” I said,
my friend is not dead.”
“Did J aay that your Mend wo* dead?” he
asked, “it Is the spirit of tho living that!
see.”
A young man with dark hair aud paleface
interrupted.
“la it you?” he t*!d. pr/lrg fixedly toward
the roe f of tho c ur. “Ab, yes! Thank you!
. i get tho lily. Shall 1 sco you toou
again?”
“What’s the mattci?” I aiked, beginning to
feel a c hilly ac Lsatlou eiccpiLg down my apt*
oal re id.
“It Is . only a little friend of mine,” tho |
ycutg mau said, "now in the spirit world.”

up the mountain, uo other subject save that
of sptiiluuli'-m r.Mrt distuned. When I got i
out of tho carriage at tho hotel, 1 felt myself I
aloof from tho world of flesh and blood noople.
iiLd whs prepored to Hod a spirit lurking be* *
hind every bowlder.
Tho stains of travel removed, I joined a I
group of gentle meu who satin the shade in
front of the hotel. Ono of them was abusing
a newipuper icporter who had beau present ac 1
1 iem.ee.
“Why,” he said, “tho fellow wrote tho big•
;est Ho about that icauce that over appeared
n print, l’vo been a spiritualist thirty yoars.
J’vo held fomuiUnicm with tou thousand
spirits, and jet 1 never knew any that wnro
better I c bawd Ilian those that appeared at
that Manco. That reporter wrote that they
kicked lip the d—.”
“Well,” said a sed eyed gentleman, catting
off the first speaker's flow of words, *Tvo

1 have hu aunt, fcho's a medium. She's been
a medium ever siuco sho was born. All dur*

about me* and a friend of ruiiio. She'd tell my
mother tlio result of overy ba .tlo wo were in,
long beforo tlio newspapers told It. 8beT
to my mother: ‘Don’t worry; your sun
cunt) homo unharmed, but his frioud will bo
killed.’ It happened just as she said. Ire
turned to my homo unharmed; my friend was
killed anil now sleeps in the valley of Vir
ginia. When 1 heard how my aunt had
hern with mo in spirit all daring tho war,
, and how the had told my mother all about

1 d (aAivtrcd subsequently that tho gentle
man wsa a Air, Robinson, or Mississippi.
Listening to conversation such as I litvo
detailed placed me considerably under tho
“influence” and prepared me for any number
of “unfoldmcnts.”
Till IIKLL OK THE TAVIUOK
was iudb at half past ton o’clock. Thirty
minutes later I formed one of tho audience
that had assembled to wltucsa the morning
services. At one aide of the pavilion thero
was a neatly arranged platform. It was pro
vided with clmirs, a tablo nod au organ. Above
the front was suspended a beautiful triangle,
upon which appeared the words, “Wisdom,
Justice, Mercy.’ Tho platform aud the posts
that supported the roof of the pavilion were
prettily decorated with evergreens.

A lijmnwa, .iin,. Hit. I.lul. Ball./, .
medium of Louisville, Ky., delivered an Invo*
tfreiivii.su which a good deal was laid of nature
and her works. Mr. Ladd announced that
a lecturo would bo delivered by
Miaa Ztlda Brown, of Atlanta. This
young lady is considered ouo of the most
pumicing trance mediums among southern
spiritualists. Air. La»M requested some ouo
iu tho audience, uot a spiritualist, to suggest a
subject to Alias Brown. Nobody responding,
he it quoted me to suggest out. I said:
“Vary well; Itt Her lecturo ou ‘Immortal
ity.’ ”
A htndscmo yoaug lady, decidedly atont,
robed lu white, arose from her soat at the
rear of tho platform, and. with eyes tightly
cloved, advanced to the table*. She pausod
half a minute, then turned slightly to the
right, aud with a aweep of the right arm in
tensely dramatic, flung bcrf.ru back against
tho wcodcu wait Then, with astonishing
fluency, she begun to add rase the audience,
whom she called “friends of earth." She spoke
forty minuter, not oeco opening her oyee. As
far aa the Luglish of it was concerned what
aho said was absolutely without ttaw. I men

Thiro was much sense iu what ahs said, aud

tun the ttianglo alrcatly mentioned. Tula he
d*d »u a few vrell cho.en words.
Ncany all the cccptica iu the audience dis
persed. A few lingered, I among the number.
I approached Mbs Browu aud complimented
her upon her lecture. 8ho was poltta, bat
manifested no special pleasure ou accouut of
the compliment.
’’I Mte uot the slightest knowledge of any
thing I said,” she muarkco. “1 was In a deep
trance. What I said was prompted by my
‘control.’”
• J>o you feel fatigued?”
“Not at all.”
"Bow long have you been a spiritualist?”
“8ix years. I was formerly a member of
the Hethodbt chim b?”
“How waa U that you became a spiritual-
ist?”
“1 don’t know: it waa in my family: we are
all spiritualists.''
1 bsd keen told that Miss Brown was a
”|wvcbo»iietric reader.” I said to her:
* I understand that you can describe people's
characteriitka, tell what influence* are at
work upon them, and reveal, iu a word,
many of the Innu »c secrets of their oouls.”
»**u i '* c *T am a psychometric

“Try your art ou me.” I suggested.
readily consented.but. as a condition,
required me to pUre in her hand some article
which I was in the habit of carrying about

am oot ouo of tho faithful.
While other* wen eeehlof th* dialog room
ot tho hotel, I wee eeehlog Interriewe with
certeln dletlogulehed lnhebltute of the eplrit
world. I approached a gentleman and laid ‘
him:
-1 am an rloci to hold eommnnlon with the
aplilta. Can; ou aiaiat mot"
“ 1 think 1 ran,” ha replied, “ bat, .
know, it la generally believed that none
women ten bo medium*. If yon
will agree not to mention my
name, to that I aball not be subjected to ridf*
cole, I will try to aaelst yon.”
I agreed to bl* condition, and wo went to
my room, where the seance was held.
In what took piece the gentleman acted _
the mouthpiece of the spirits. What they
commonlcaicd to him in reply to my questions
be told to me in word*. As a preliminary (tom
he placed hie bands upon a email tablo, ana
required me to sing a hymn. I
vena* of “Hark, from tb* Tomb,”
waa astonishing/ It oeemod to me that the
tablo wonld fall to pieces under th* eontionous
rapping of the spirita.
“They are here in greet nnmben,”nid the
gentlemen. "I never before felt the lad nance
so etrengiy.”
"U Bamuel J. Tilden among them?”I asked.
“Yet, be It here.”
“Ask him what his condition la
IN THE M IKIT WOULD.”
“lie up he Is comfortable.”
“Atk him if the weather is hot”
A storm of rope greeted th* qneetion.
“Try him on something also,” told the gem
tloaon.
'Atk him,” I raid, "what he thinhaof Preal
dent Cleveland's policy.”
Another storm of rape, but no other reply,
waa the remit.
'Aik him, then,” I said, “what he think* of
the proposed contest over hie will.”
The eta teaman spirit was ovidently dlagnet-
ed with tbs question*, bocauao be could not ko
induced to communicate again anything but
rap*.
I requested the gentioman to aak If Jim
Mooie. the man lynched In Uacon, was pro,
ent. Then wae no reply, not even a rap.
“Socrates la htn,” said the gentioman, “and
whhea to communicate with you.”
"All right,” 1 said, “what haa b* to say?"
"Ho asya that you will never bo happy
until you become* spiritualist.”
“Aak him,” 1 inpgested, “if it le pleasant to
die by the polaon or hemlock."
“Ilo lays that there la no each thing a*
death ”
Hero there waa a tremendous npplng.
When it subsided, I sold to the (onUomtn:
“Ark If James A. Oarleld la here."
The question was asked and the answer
was an affirmative one; hot the gentleman ap
pealed unable to understand (tarfield’s replica
Iu the questions I suggested.
‘-Tho influeuco la becoming wash,” he ei
plaiued, “aud wo mutt end the icanco.”
As to tho geuuinencaa of thee* communica-
Ileus, all that I can aay is that tho gentioman
insisted that they were th* slmou pure orcicle.
1 will net offend him by declaring that I did
not agree with him. They did not, however,
imprtaa mo aa certain other happening* did.
AFTLKIOON SERVICES WERE HELD

Mends of the epirit world, Inelndiog grand-
Adhere and grandmothers too numeroue to

information concerning the oplrit world wse
obtained. Whenever one of the epirltaalieta
was touched there wonll be an audible re

A clammy, but rigorous slap npon my right

While the arrangement* were in progrou,
Mr, Ladd turned to syouthful cltixen of Chat-

“the fourth spirit'* name Is ‘Oid Rye.’
There was no further conversation, but
“Old Byo” manifested itaelf by a very pun
gent ooor.
The light waa reduced to a dimness which
hardy permitted objects in the room to be dir-
tinguiehtd; wo, tho “inqRirers,” were ntlowed
to sit much as we pleated, except that we
were required to keep onr rest upon tho floor;
Mrs. Welle entered the ctblucl; cud thou, a
Mr. White, Mrs. Wellt'e “manager''—confed
erate?—announced that the "conditions" for
the nutcrtallntlona were comnieto.
I shell make no attempt to account for what
I taw. 1 believe the remarkable enccers of
the seance was tho retail of a trick, but I am
unsb'e to prorate.
The list materialization wee that of a little
girl, whom Mr. Whits called “Eunice.” She
appeared upon the floor, outaido of tho cabinet,
olbatal! of ns could see hor. Following
Eunice”came, perhaps, sovcnty.fivo mate
rializations. They were of ill sizes and of
both -rcr. They held whispered conversa
tion! with nearly every one of the fourteen
present. Some of the spiritualists declared
that they recognized grandparents, wlree,
brothers, allien, uncles, aunts and Mends,
long slues departed to tho epirit world, I
recognized nobody—I mean, no spirit. But I
west up to tho cabinet and had a short talk

to me nw from one toa dozen spirita just over
my shmlder. I waa told that I possessed me*
dlunrlatic powers. I don’t know—porhapr re
but I could make none of the spirita about mo
materialise.
Thero la a livery atable near th* hotel.

“Waukee-wankcf, memue-memue, wook-a-

Mrs. E. A. Wells, of New York, Is here. She
is regarded as ana of the mast successful
trauco mediums in tho United State*. She
not only brings th# inhabitants of th* spirit
world in invisible contact with their “friends
of earth,” but abo materializes them. Sunday
night, beginning at eight o'clock, che gar*

a “dark seance,” and the other war th* re

Then were fourteen of os. only oue being of

where vole* is a deep bar*, began to sing, “I
Dev* a Father in tho Spirit Land,” is toaea
tilth might bar* wakad from th* dmdlhooid-
with ono of the materialiutivna. Concluding
it, I said:
“Tbit Is all quite wonderful, and I am not
prepared to explain it. I would like, how
ever, to look Into the cabinet and eeo if Mre,
Well* i* there.”
1 ires communicating with
AN ACCOMMODATING SPIRIT,
for It Iteppcd aside, drew the red curtains
bar k and permitted me to look in. I saw Mrs,
Wells sitting In the cplit-liottom chair, appar
ently in a trance. Aa to the truth of this I
am ready to make oath. Somebody mid. “Do
you tee Mra Wells?” “Yes,” I replied, “Mrs.
Walls ia titling In tho chair.” I hid ecarcoly
uttered the words when the materialisation,
or whatever it waa, coliauaed In front of me
and reemingly disappeared Into tha floor.
In the Isngoago or another sceptic, “it wet
tho moet perfect thing I over beheld.”
AU things com* to an and, except la tho

enfd and.thc “uDfoIdmcnU" ceased. On the'
way back to tho hotel I mid to Mr. H. O. Cam
eron, of Hamilton, Ga., who if not a spiritual
ist: “What do you think of It?” Ho replied:
“I don't know. I believe It wae a trick, but I
can’t explain it.” Out In front of th* hotel I
•id to Mr. Ltdd: “What do you think of It?”
Why,” ho replied, “the manifestations were
genuine. What do you think of it?”
1 replied that whllo I could not explain it, I
did net believe that I bed toon materialised
spirits. Mr. Ltdd, entirely too good natured
and llboral to object to my honesty, laid:
“Well, I am lorry.” Then he raid good night
and sought his conch.
I went to my room about one o’clock, with
Mr. Oche M a companion. Fifteen minutes
inter I was sound asleep. About four o’clook
I waa awakened by a tremendous rapping,
seemingly Juat above my head. I sprang nut
of bed, wondering what “Influence” had In
duced the spirita to dtatnib my mat. Mr.
Oche was sitting on the edgo of the bed, draw
ing on hie locks
“What’s the matter?” I inquired.
. "P! ? <r don’ room oud in dor blggee’ hurry
righd avay, dev hark will bo gone already,
aiad It?" somebody replied in tho hall.
It waa John, the Dutch hostler, who had
hern directed to call Mr. Oche very early.
A SLATE* WRITING SEANCE
was given mo by Mre. Ctesna, of Cincinnati,
early yesterday morning. It took niece In tho
cottage.. She had adoubla slate. Which turned
npon emnll bingos. On tho inside, I placed a
email pier* of slat* pencil, cloood the elate,
T*d It flruly with my hand so that It
I not bo opened, and then held It under a

pceite me. 8h* talked with me perhaps tea
mlnntee, on all eorta of subjects Suddenly I
heard tha icratehing of tb* poncil npoo tho
slate. I f*H no movement, but tho sound of
the pencil waa very plain. Whan tha sound
ceased, Mrs Cluns aud:
“If yon have flniahed, please rap on tho

Three very distinct rape were given. I
rrmovtd tho elate from under tho table,
opeied it, and found thee* word* written In a
bold band:
“We can tell no news”
Other expei irnente brought other communi
cations tone of them legible.
Hr w it wee dona I can't cxplaiu; bnt It waa
certainly dons
It ia net within the province of a reporter
to expire* opinions In this instance, how-
over, J can’t resist tbo temptation to declare:
First—Thr re are those here who are • incore
believers in spiritualism—those who are aa
honest iu their belief at honesty itself.
Second—There are those here who are

Third—Genuine spiritualists are tho hap
