I received it while in bed the night of July 30. It came from

Here are some of the most interesting paragraphs front the
message ;
Hell, Tuesday, ti :22 p. m., July 30. 1912. You are not to begin
I his until dark."
"All gootl sports enjoy it in hell.'’
"My dear boy, you don’t know how happy I am that the* hour
litis al last struck in which I am permitted by His Satanic Majesty to
lift a corner of lite veil which separates the living from the dead."
"I am standing against the wall looking toward the fiery throne.
I pon said throne sits Satan. His features are precisely those of
.Xapoleoti Bonaparte at the apex of his power. He is dressed precisely
in the costume of Mitdiael Angelo's statue entitled "The Thinker"
placed over the tomb of the Medici in Florence. The hall of audi
ence is miles long, miles wide and miles high.
The hall of the audience is rubies."
"In place ol mortar we have diamonds, broken every few
incites by several inches of sapphires," continued the spirit in hell.
The floor ol the hall is of marble The roof is of crystal."

The Progressive party movement is

Progressives felt financially able to go
as delegates at their own expense to the
state convention held a week ago in
Kansas City This did not prevent the
sending of delegates. The hat was

SOCIETY RAFFLES
MENTAL PUZZLE
Chicago Man Arrested and
$350,000 of Plunder Found.
Doctor Calls Him Insane.
CHICAGO, Aug. s.—While arrange
ments were being made today for an
e.xauiination by alienists of Jaeob Hoy
Guthrie, the Chicago "Raffles," who
says lie was lured from his profession
of teaching by reading detective stories,
the police compiled an inventory of the
< prisoner's loot,
I't orn the list of articles already un
earthed it Is believed by the police that
over $350,000 worth of art works, jew
elry and other articles will be found
before the task is finished
Bearing that Guthrie would attempt
suicide, Captain Halpin stationed a
. guard over him and . the disposition of
bis case will depend on the result of the
examination today.
There is no doubt that Guthrie's- de
fense will be insanity. It is possible
that he may never be brought to trial
for robbing Chicago society leaders, but
will be adjudged insane and sent to an
asylum.
Dr. Leslie W Schwab, the Guthrie
family physician, declared today that
the young "Raffles" is an "educated
fool" and "dynamite kleptomaniac."
Reader of Detective Stories.
"He has been a hook worm ever
since his childhood," said the physician.
■ "But it was not overstudy that caused
i his mental derangement. Aside from
his studious nature as a boy. he used
to sit by the hour at night and read
thrilling detective yarns. It was this
form of occupation that fostered that
mental condition which has always
been apparent in him.
"Guthrie's action in storing his loot,
instead of disposing of it. is but one
example of his mental condition. I am
sure I shall be able to account for his
strange method of operation and prove
conclusively that he lias suffered pe
riods of mental aberration for years."
Bacteriologist by day and forger by
night; instructor of chemistry and
mathematics four days of the week and
burglar tile remaining three; bashful
and stammering in the presence of
women and girls and daring bullets
I from policemen and night watchmen;
displaying the exquisite taste of a eon-
I noisseur one moment and a lust for
plunder the next, he presents the most
astonishing of mental conditions.

I Wilson gave the correspondents a few

I "It seems to me," said the nominee,
"that there ought to be some method of

MISS MORGAN IN
MISSIONARY ROLE
PARIS, Aug. 5. Miss Anne Morgan,
daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, has
. suspended her artistic receptions. She,
Miss Marbury ahd Miss Elsie De Wolf
I have made a feature of the foreign Sea
i son at royal Versailles for several
I years.
Miss Morgan has retired, so to
speak, in older to open a campaign of
Christianity at Montmartee. Last Sun
day evening she delivered the opening
sermon of her mission tinder the aus
pices of the British-American Young
Women's Christian association. This
( organization, founded by Mrs. Whitney
' Hoff, of Detroit, wife of John Jacob
Hoff, the Paris representative of the
Standard Oil Company, is in the Rue
Balin, fai up the heights of the unholy
mount.
Where Miss Morgan preached is
witbiji a stone's throw of the Rat Mort,
the Moulin Rouge, the Abbaye and the
optical illusion known as Heaven. Hell
and Purgatory. It is not postively
stated that site means to convert the
habitues of these places from the error
of their ways, but it is known that she
draws people away from them.
Obviously. Miss Morgan prefers to
| preach the gospel to the low iy than
to give small talk, which is the aim of
Prince Kargeorgew itch. Count Boni De-
Castellane and other society people who
made up the artistic receptions at Ver
sailles. Mrs. Whitney Hoff came up
from her chateau on the banks of the
Loire to hear Miss Morgan's initial
> effort to convert Montmartre to Chris
tianity and cletjn living.
Americans and Frenchmen are fol
lowing the revival with the keenest in
terest. Titled ones who are hot In*

and that wherever you found men chew
ing tobacco together there you found
the real public opinion of the country.
"Imagine my astonishment the next
morning when the newspapers came
out ignoring the rest of my address and
featuring what I had said about tobac
. co chewing, declaring I had said that
tobacco chewing made thinkers, and
imagine my horror when I found the
story follow ing me all over the country
and getting worse and worse every
minute until in a Dakota paper 1 was
■ quoted to the extent of a column on
the great advantages of tobacco chew
ing. And can you further imagine my
I chagrin when a big chewing tobacco
concern made a photograph of one of
the newspaper reports and printed it in
« its advertising. 1 was stamped as a
college president who advocated chew
ing tobacco to develop the mind.
"Os course. 1 could never overtake
such a story. For such work as this,
I think, the publisher should be pun
