APRIL 9 1907 TWO THE OKLAIIOMn HOST TUESDAY HSHfll FOX SISTERS ARE FIRST TO HEAR SPIRIT KNOCKINGS COME TO THEM IN PECULIAR MANNER Parent Think It Only One of Their Plane For Are Convinced RUMSTIO? authorities men like Professor Wm Crookes Alfred Russell Wallace William James of Harvard university Dr Weir Mitchell Prof Zollmer Sir David Brewster Sir Oliver Lodge and a long List of other distinguished names no better cultured or more scientific observer than Dr Isaac Funk of New York Dr Funk has been for a number of years devoting himself to the InvAstigaUon of spiritualistic pbe- nomena and one of the most aston- i ishlng books of the nineteenth century i wa his Mite and Other Psychic Phenomena" issued in 1904 The Incident of the Mite" which happened to be one of 1 Dr own personal experiences has been and Is still being a matter of discussion among scientists in every portion of the civilized world In the early part of February 1900 Dr Funk heard of a woman In Brooklyn who on every Wednesday evening gave spiritualistic "sittings" to her family and a few invited guests He obtained an Invitation and one evening attended During the progress of the seance the through whom the medium supposedly communicated with the spirit world asked abruptly: "Has anyone here got anything that belonged to Mr He repeated the question several times when suddenly Dr Funk remembered that he had a letter In his pocket from the Rev Dr llillls the present occupant of Mr Beecher pulpit Dr Funk informed him of this fact but the control Insisted that it was not a letter from Mr Beecher's successor that Dr Funk had in his possession but much to the latter's astonishment he declared that Mr Beecher was much concerned about an ancient coin "The Widow's Mite" This coin wa out of Its place the spirit declared and should be returned Dr Funk was the only person In the room who had known Mr Beecher the latter having been hi life-long friend Naturally he was astounded at mention off Mite" because he rememhered having borrowed it nine years before from a gentleman in Brooklyn a close friend of Mr Beecher's aud who had died four years before Dr Funk had borrowed it while the publishing house of which he was and is the head was making the Standard dictionary The man who loaned it to him cautioned him at the time that being so rare it was worth some hundreds of dollars and that it was to be returned to the collection to which It belonged Just as eoon an it had served the purpose of the illustrator Dr Funk had returned this coin or so ho believed as soon as It had been used and he promptly informed the control to this effect The control insisted over and over again that It had not been returned and was at that moment In a drawer in a safe under a lot of papers Where this safe was to be found the control did not know All be could tell was that Mr Beecher wished It returned to Its owner the name of whom the control was not able to state Ir Funk the next day called into Spiritualism today celebrates Its fifty-ninth anniversary Fifty-nine years a so today modern spiritualism dos-tined to become one of the most popular and far-reaohing religious move meats of the nineteenth or Indeed of any other century had its inception In a little wooden bouse which Is still standing In llydoville road near Newark In one of the two rooms of this little house there sat In the pleasant March sunshine of the lute afternoon a couple of young girls Kate and Margaretta Fox They were sewing carpet rags and as they sewed discussed with much mirth the various April fool Jokes which they Intended playing UKn certain of tbolr young friends ou the following All Fools' day The girls were alone In the house their father and mother Mr and Mrs Abraham Fox having gone to do the family marketing in Newark that afternoon And because they were all alone their merriment was allowed to flow unrestrained by parental injunction In this pierry fashion the afternoon was drawing to Its close when suddenly a loud knock upon the wall Interrupted their flow of fun The knock was so loud and Imperious that both girls allowing their carpot rags to drop to the floor sprang Instantly to their feet both asking in the satno breath who was there received no answer but the unexplained knocking continued even louder and harder than before The girls made a thorough examination of the premises til timately convincing themselves that the noise they heard was not being effected by any visible human agency Finally Kate Fox the elder of the sisters conceived the very original Idea that the knocker although invisible was Intelligent and she asked him to rap once for the letter twice for the letter and so on Much to their amazement not to say terror the mysterious knocker re sponded to the suggestion and within a phenomenally brief time communication was established The rapper In this way introduced himself as the spirit of a pedler He declared that many many years before he had been murdered in this very house in which the Fox family now lived his office everybody connected with the publishing house who had anything to do with "The Mite" each one of whom was firm in the belief that it was returned long years before When they had retired Dr Funk himself went to tiie Funk Wagnalla safe opened several drawers and in the but tom of one of them under a pile of papers he found an envelope neatly labeled Mite to he returned Immediately to Prof Charles Inside the envelope was found the coin Dr Funk Immediately made a thorough investigation with the purpose of eliminating every possibility of fraud or telepathic influence and with excellent results He proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the incident of the borrowing of this coin had been forgotten not only by everybody concerned but even by himself and the gentleman from whom it had been borrowed Just why Mr Beecher should concern himself with the return of the coin was and is thus far unexplainable beond the fact that tho gentleman from whom it had been borrowed that Is Prof had been one of Mr dearest friends But the phenomenon of "The marvelous as It Is Is not more so than scores of other equally well authenticated cases reported by men of science and unimpeachable veracity all over the world For today the scientific man Is not only willing to approach the phenomena of spiritualism with a noble agnosticism where he has not already formed a definite bias in favor of its genuineness but where tbe occasion warrants be Is not above lending co-operation to their investigation ment In the county Jail for a period of not less than thirty days nor more than six months Section 21 The county central committee of each county shall consist of one member from each

by a direct vote at such primary or by a delegate convention but if no decision be made in this regard the nomination shall be by a direct vote in the primary election provided however that any fraction or organization in such precinct may present their list of delegate which shall be placed upon tbe ballot and grouped In such manner as will distinguish them from other groups or sets of delegates The names of candidate or groups of delegates shall be printed In bold type and separated from eacb other so as not to confuse the voter and sample ballots shall be posted outside the voting place during said primary election Section £3 The Judges and clerks of such primary election are hereby authorized and empowered to administer oaths and perform all other acts a provided by law for general elections Section 24 In preparing the ballots tbe names of all candidates shall be printed thereon In Alphabetical order for the respective offices and the order of the offices shall be as follows: Congressional legislative county and township delegates committeemen Section 25 Whenever any political party In any municipality in this territory shall have determined by its central or city committee to hold a primary election for the nomination of candidates for municipal offices such primary election hall be in all respects in conformity -with the provisions of this act so far as said provisions can be made to apply provided that all the provisions of tho statute for general elections In such municipalities shall apply so far a the same are practical and not Inconsistent with tbe provisions of this act Section 26 All acts and parts of acts Inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed Section 27 This act shall take effort and be In force from after Its passage and approval Approved this 10th day of March A 1905 WANTED and that he had been burled In the cellar beneath their feet where he declared they might find hla boneH any time they might choose to dig for them In the corner which he indicated Having delivered himself of this sensational statement sod indicating some jewelry which they would And the knocklngs ceased and the spirit of the murdered pedler departed leaving the young women In a highly wrought nervous condition to await the homecoming of their parents The latter returning at nightfall were naturally filled with astonishment at the story related by their daughters They were incredulous and due to the proximity of All Pools' day were Inclined after their first outburst of amazement to consider themselves merely the victims of their fun loving daughters' somewhat exad-gp rated sense of humor Mr and Mrs Fox would have been perfectly willing to let the matter go wttb this explanation but their daughters were firm In asservatlng the truth of their story Not only that but to prove It they suggested tearing tip the floor of the cellar and producing the bones of the murdered pedler 'J his Mr Fox refused to listen to but his daughters were so Insistent that eventually In order to dispose of the matter once and for all decided to grant their request and the next morning found tho entire family engnged In digging up the southeast corner of the cellar They had dug hut a few Inches when they made tho startling discovery that bones were buried there and a few minutes afterward they had unearthed the dismembered skeleton of a inan whom the girls identified by various articles the spirit had mentioned an old fashioned watch and a brass ring as the bones of the murdered pedler whose spirit had spoken to thorn the day before Naturally the news of this remark able thing spread rapidly all over the neighborhood and filially reached New ark and New York The result was that a groat many yeoplo came to the Fox house and communicated with the spirit in the same way Kate and Margaretta Fox acting as agents be- I tween the world of the dead and that of the living Thus the now famous 1 Fox sisters became the first of what are now called "mediums" It is doubtful whether the Fox girls had sufficient Imagination to even1 dream of the furor which their al- leged discovery was shortly to makej not only in America but all the civ- i llied world And Indeed is al- moat equally doubtful whether ws of tho present day can torm any ade- i quato conception of that same furor1 which raged more than BO years ago The fact that Christian Science has more than one million followers In the United States today Is regarded as a phenomenal thing In the history of present day religioua movements but the Christian Science following is Insignificant as compared with that of spiritualism In the years between 1M8 and 1S67 For It la now a matter of record that the Idea formulated by the two Illiterate young girls In that little houso In Newark was to grow and Increase so rapidly that within two years tho spiritualists ot the United States should number more than half a million and that according to the Encyclopedia Brltan-nica they should have Increased hv the year 1SG7 to more than 110009U0 In the UnUod States alone or two-fifths of the entire population at that time Although spiritualism was conceived and born In tho little house tn Newark It was In Rochester that It was to develop to Its eventual 1 proportions Hither the Fox sisters came to live with their sister Mrs i Fish several months after the lnri-! dents narrated and bo Rochester became in time regarded as the Mecca of Bplrltualism Just as Concord today Is regarded as the Mecca of Christian Scientists Tt was after the' removal to Rochester that the Fox i Iters formulated and developed the cult known us modern spiritualism It was here that they first essayed the' character of spiritualistic mediums and established an alleged process whereby It was belltved that commit- nlcatlon could be carried on at will between the world of the living and the world of the dead The Fox sisters began to give what1 was known at first as seances or spirit oireles at which lost relatives and deceased eminent men and women were communicated with The earliest communication were carried on as they had been in Newark by the means of raps or "percussive The movement spread like an epldem- ic Those who eat at the seances of the Fox sisters were often found to become mediums themselves and then lu their turn developed medium-ship in others Indeed It seemed that the more reading accounts of seances a subject treated of at great length In the press of that day was sufficient to develop the peculiar susceptibility In some persons while oth- era who became mediums ultimately 1 did so only after prolonged and patient waiting The result was that spirit circles sprang up all over the country Men and women of all classes and of 11 degrees of culture and Intelligence became Interested In he prenoniena In certain communities every family had established its stilr It circle which convened at regular hours each day for the purjaise of holding conwnunhn with deceased member Meanwhile the Fox sisters up In Rochester were perfecting the sva-t in of spirit communication which they had discovered and now were able so they believed to obtain re- st'iis bv more coMihat'd mean than the earllep They now began tv develop mysterious powers of "table the ringing of bell and playing of musical Instruments Later followed the appearance of light quasi -human voice musical sounds produced suposedly without lnstm ments the materialization or pres-' ence In material form of what seemed to be human hands faces etc and ultimately of complete figure alleged to be not those of any person present and sometimes elated by wit-j nesses as deceased relatives i Tho Fox sisters also lagan new they shall be opened for the purpose of counting the ballots therein

And after answering said questions the challenge be not withdrawn the Judge shall require him to subscribe to the following oath: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am a citizen of the United States and have been an actual bona fide resident of the territory of Oklahoma thirty days next preceding this election and have been an actual resident of this precinct for the last thirty days and have not yet voted at this election that I will be eligible to register and vote at the next election for which candidates are now being nominated I further swear (or affirm) that I am a member of the

of their ability to unfasten cords and bonds elongation of the medium's body handling of red hot coala and apparent passage of solids through solids without disintegration Meanwhile an interest In the new cult spread in this country It also traveled to Europe though little Interest was manifested there until 1852 when Mrs Harden a professional from Boston went over to London Within a month of her arrival spiritualism spread like wildfire not only over all England but over the continent as well so freat indeed was the furor caused by the Boston woman's demonstrations that it 1b said cm eminent scientific authority that in the year 1853 table turning was the all absorbing interest In every middle class and aristocratic family in Europe Especially did spiritualism and Its elrd phenomena appeal to the cultured classes of Great Britain and when three years after Mrs Hayden's visit Daniel Douglas Home of Boston went over to succeed her he was destined to be received with great respect by no loss distinguished a personage than Mrs Browning The author of "Sonnets from the like hmidreciH of other highly cultured and spiritually constituted English women found much of absorbing fascination In tho new religion for spiritualism had by this time become organized into a well defined religious creed For It was as a religious revelation that spiritualism then as today held Its greatest interest to its followers The idea of communicating with the departed was naturally attractive even to tho merely curious still more to those who were mourning for lost friends and most of all to those who believed that this was the commencement of a new revelation While tho first two classes have always attracted as still they do many inquirers It is the last that gives to modern spiritualism its religious aspect Fuel was also added to the flro by the newiy developed scientific interest In mesmerism and the phenomenon of hypnotic trance an interest which quickly became popular among ail classes and conditions of the poo- pie and which was highly diffused at this time both in America and in Europe Nothing could have been more favorable to tho new Idea The Idea Involved by the Fox sisters or- curring at this peculiar psychological moment soeniod to revolutionize spir itual thought The whole civilized world seemed to be on the qul 1 for Information about other worlds and from hifthor Intelligences and this Information It weg Implicitly be-1 lieved by millions of people could be obtained from persons who could be put Into the sloop walking state such as mediums like tho Fox sisters and their disciples assumed at will There followed everywhere both here and abroad an Interest In occult phenomena which la unexcelled for' sensationalism and variety by that of any other age What part of this phenomena was genuine will aavor be known but that a considerable portion of It waT as afterward proven he most audacious fraud has long been a matter of record As Is the case In the organization of all other religious cults spiritualism naturally attracted a preponderance of morbidly curious and weak minded constituents made spiritualism a most convenient avenue for the perpetration of All manner of fraud-fraud too or such a fascinating character that Its victims were only too glad to give It in every case the benefit of the doubt One of the most notorious of these fraud Is of comparatively recent date and involved a series of lawsuits and litigation which are still pending in the courts The case referred to was the exposure of Mrs Ann Odelia Dis PcHar in the spirit picture fraud which she perpetrated upon Luther Marsh a famous and very wealthy New York lawyer These spirit pictures for which he paid fabulous prices were supposed to have been painted by supernatural agency Just as the so-called spirit photographs are today supposed to be ef-fctod The pictures which the Piss Dollar woman succeeded In palming I off on Mr Marsh were not only be- lieved by htm to have been done by a mystic hand but they purported to represent the various personages por- trnved as they appeared In the spirit world The personages included among others the aged de- censed wife and the late Adelaide Nellson Mr Marsh' "spirit wire" 1 Hut not all the sensationalism re- I spiritualistic phenomena has been Ill-founded The lust decade or the nineteenth century witnessed some truly remarkable cases of me-diumshlp the most famous of which Is that of Mrs Piper of Boston Indeed in spite or all the outra- geous fraud which have been from Rs very inception perpetrated in the name of spiritualism In spite of the fanaticism of Its zealous follower and the Ignorance and superstition to which Its more unscrupulous and dls- honest apostles appealed nevertheless spiritualism a a cult stands upon a more respectable footing today than 1 ever befxre It is true that the num- ber of its followeis has long since been rtduced to a comparatively modest figure a against the 11000000 of 1 M57 but nevertheless the spiritualists of today represent a class of peoplo who us a rule are firm in their conviction Within tin last few years the spiritualist have begun to build their own churches and have organ- 1 iz-t themselves into coherent religion bodies The largest of these churches i that known a the First Spiritualist church of Brooklyn the congregation numbering more Uiau 1im There has also taken place within the same period of time a very great change of attitude toward spiritualism on the part of scientist and mctA I physical scholars The tendency to ridicule or even to lightly retard the I alleged phenonn na of the tie ha almost entirely dsap-' pcar'd on the part of the truly cul-tund and enlightened Win to they do nt evince a frank Interest or absorbing concern in these phenomena tho majority of scientific men today confess themselves in that respect a agnostics They stAte that In the face of the manv strange things which tbev have eliminated every possibility of fraud they cannot conscientiously iiv that the spiritualist may not be upen the eve of discovering something which lu thus far eluded the granp of organized
