CALLS UP THE DEAD.
THE LATE VICE PRESIDENT HEN-
DRICKS’ WIFE SAID TO TALK TO HIM.
For Ten Years Lottie Greenrod Has Been
the llledium of Conversation—Hoosier
Politicians Also Said to Receive Messages.
Slate Written Political Opinions.
Is the spirit of Thomas A. Hendricks
hovering over the Hoosiers who were
devoted to him in the flesh?
Is it possible that the shade of the
dead vice president of the United States
converses with Democratic comrades in
the state of Indiana, counseling and
guiding them in political affairs?
Such questions have been frequently
asked in Indiana for months. Those
who believe in spiritualism have been
profoundly impressed with the informa-
tion that the spirit of the dead states-
man was in constant communication
with his wife and other close friends
and party associates.
Those who are skeptical knew that
Mrs. Hendricks and some lending Dem-
ocrats who believe in spiritual phenom-
ena professed to have received on the
slate of a medium messages from the
spirit land signed by the vice president.
In certain circles of the faithful there
has been no little excitement about it.
died Thanksgiving eve, 1885. He had no
time for the arrangement of his earthly
MRS. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
affairs or political business. He was in
an upper chamber of his Indianapolis
home preparing for dinner. His wife
heard a heavy fall on the floor above,
and when she reached his side found
her husband dead, with a peaceful smile
on his features.
Passing away as he ‘did, without a
word, is it strange if his devoted wife
should have yearned for some word,
some message, from his spirit?
Is it strange that she often thought
that he was near in the spirit?
. Mrs. Hendricks has been counted a
sincere believer since about the time of
her husband’s death. In the first few
months of her widowhood, when grief
crowded upon loneliness, she we\nt to a
medium, hoping for a few words from
the soul of Thomas,A. Hendricks.
She went to Lottie Greenrod, a slip
of a girl, who had been considered a
wonderful medium at the age of 7. At
that age she received slate writings
from spirits when unable to read or
write herself. She was 13 years ~old
when Mrs. Hendricks first called.
Lottie Greenrod as a girl of 12 knew
nothing of Mrs. Hendricks and had no
conception of the high place in politics
held by her departed husband.
Evidently the first slate writings must
have been of satisfactory tenor to Mrs.
Hendricks, for in ten years she has been
a constant visitor to this same medium ’5
house.
There are other‘mediums in Indian-
apolis who have no trouble in getting
messages from Thomas A. Hendricks or
any other dead notables of the nation.
In one seanco ex-Vice President Hen-
dricks gave a few words only of advice
to his Indiana constituents. Some time
ago his voice was heard at 3 scenes at-
tended by Senator Turpio and some In-
diana members of congress. They say
that Senator Turpie was not particular.
ly impressed, but that Bynum, on the
eve of retiring from public life, gave
serious heed to the words.
Among other stories circulated as to
the ghostly talk is one that he predicted
the defeat of Cleveland in 1888, and
thereby saved some of his Indiana
friends considerable money.
Many of the faithful in Indianapolis
declare that the successful business ven-
tures made by Mrs. Hendricks since her
husband’s death have been due to his
spiritual advice. They claim that she
has increased her fortune through the
advice and prophetic instruction which
could only come from an all seeing soul
of the spirit land.
. Whatever may be the belief, it is a
fact that Mrs. Hendricks has in ten
years doubled the property left her by
her husband, and meantime he has dis-
pensed in charity or in aid of relatives
‘ nearly $70,000.
Mrs. Hendricks lives almost alone.
Her nephew, Thomas Litzenberg, is her
only relative who lives in the old home,
and he assists in her business affairs——

TH E ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
From a. Small Beginning It Has Grown to
the Size of a Small World’s Fair.
There is no holding Atlanta now that
she has made. up her mind to have a big .
exposition. The original promoters
planned to expend $200,000 upon it.
but the bustling Atlantans have smashed
this estimate and now talk of laying
out $1,250,000 on their fair. On the
very spot where the buildings are going
up General Sherman pitched his camp
3:: years ago and began to bombard the
31 y. -
When the exposition project was
launched, the business interests of the
country wererin such a state of collapse
that the Atlantans seemed to be predes-
tined to failure. In less than a year
their indomitable grit has worked a
change, however.
The site chosen for the grounds and
buildings could not well be improved
upon. It is an old race track surrounded
by low hills which form an amphithea-
ter. On these bills the exposition struc-
tures are building, and the art of the
landscape gardener will transform the
lowland into a parklike expanse, diver-
sified by a lake and running streams of
water.
The buildings, which are to be con-
structed of staff so as to resemble gray‘
stone or' marble, will include the Ad-
ministration, Auditorium, Minerals and
Forestry, Transportation, Electricity,
Manufactures and Liberal Arts, Music,
Fine Arts, Horticultural, Fire and Po-
lice departments, the United States gov-
ernment and the Negro structures.
, Work on the last named is being done
entirely by Afro-Americans, and the de-
sign is that its exhibits shall show the
progress in the arts of civilization
which the race has made since the war.
The national government has prom-
ised to make exhibits of patents, ma-
chinery, fisheries and forestry, and to
allow the Indian office and the geolog‘
ical survey to be represented. The At-
lantans count with con fidence on 2, 000,-
000 visitors to their fair. To accommo-
date the sightseers from other states the
citizens have offered the use of their
houses, and a. list of those available is
preparing for distribution. ’
The exposition directors are begin-
ning to realize the magnitude of their
task. It is the World’s fair over again
on areduced scale. “The project is con-
stantly growing, ” said President
Charles A. Collier the other day, “and
if the show were not to begin on Sept.
18 there is no telling where it would
stop. ”—New York Sun.
THE SONS OF MALTA.
How Sterling J. Morton Once Joined a. So-
ciety to Annex Cuba to the United States.
Secretary Morton, in speaking as to
the proposed annexation of Cuba, re-
calls that 30 or 40 years ago, when a
popular movement for attaching Cuba
to the United States was instituted in
this country, a secret organization
known as the Sons of Malta sprang into
existence for the purpose of inculcating
the annexation idea.
The organization was more of a joke
than anything else, with its “Grand
Ziaticuticus” and other officers with
picturesque, titles. Secretary Morton
was one of the hundreds of thousands
who joined this society, being tossed in
a blanket and subjected to other ex-
traordinary ceremonies of initiation.
Notwithstanding the frivolous pur‘
pose and methods of the Knights of
Malta, they multiplied at an amazing
rate and raised several hundred thou-
sand dollars for charitable purposes.—

A Queer Present.
The empress of China sent Queen
Victoria a present, and it was delivered
in due form by the Chinese minister.
It consisted of a long, yellow satin pan-
el, ornamented with Chinese characters
and elaborately decorated in worked in
gold and silver bullion. It was a decid-
edly ornamental if not particularly use-
ful gift—more so anyway than the pair
of giraffcs she received not long ago—-
and the queen expressed herself very
much pleased with it.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Senator Hill on the Presidency.
Since the adjournment of congress
Senator Hill has written to a personal
friend in this city a letter which dis-
cusses the political situation and con-
cludes with the following significant
declaration: “In my opinion the next
nominee of the Democratic party will be
the next president.” Mr. Hill’s friend
intimates that he believes this next nom-
inee and next president will hail from
the city of Albany—Chicago Times-
Herald. 2
Two Methods, Same Result.
