By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, September 8 Consul General Fdzhugh Lee accompanied by his son, Fitzauzh Lte, arrived from Havana on board the Seguaanca to-day. The General said that he had been auf fering from biliousness for some time past, but he felt very much better after the sea trip. When asked as to whether he would return to Cuba or not. the General shook his bead and said: "I; cannot answer that; I would rather not talk on Cuban affairs nntil I make my report in 'Washington." - In speaking of the case of Evangelina Cotsio Cisneros, the Gmeral said: "The voung woman is not confined in' Casa Keen id as. She has never been tried and I do not think that it was ever in tended that she saonld be banished.

VOVANCE POSSIBLE FOR ALL. K ': i Jnlla" Cl-rea Aasaranee Throne; h William -' T. Stead ' That Anybody Who" PIeaaa , ; Can Do the Oeeult A Few of tbe Sin. : pier Instructions Kaaily TJnderatood. -T" William T. -Stead, author, journalist, tbeoeopbist and genenal student of all that is odd, now announces that he has received by the means of antomatio writing from a very well known Bpirit the information that ' every living per Bon has what is called the sixth sense. In other words, yie are all mediums, contrary to the general supposition, even among the advanced . disciples of spiritualism. ; -;',; ' ... The message- or communication is given to the world r through Editor Stea?, who for the time ; being is under the guidance of jthis feminine oontrol, the real author of the statements being known, as Julia.' Her messages have been coming at intervals for five years and among the students of the occult are regarded as absolutely true. That is why ilrj Stead las so mnch importance upon them. It is fox this reason he holds that the communication between tbe inhabitants of the world and those who have passed away can be much more free if : only people will have it that way. tin the; message Julia says : " What ! I have to tell von is that all those who really wish to have the sixth sense, or whatever you may choose to term it, soJdlevelpped that they can at will become sensibly or to their senses cognizant -of the reality of the existence of the beings who encompass them about can acquire the gift or faculty if they will but adapt themselves to tho laws of the region into which they wish to penetrate. It is a potentiality of the universal i human race. ! Nor is it only hnman. Many animals have the open eye. They see when ; their owners are blind. But you can see if you choose. It rests with yourselves. "There! is no short cut to the sixth sense. There may be something like it in mesmerism and hypnotism, but that is not at all what I mean. What is pos sible is for every child of man to be come what you call normally clairvoy ant that; is, for any one to possess himself of the power of seeing and hearing, as plainly as he sees and bears material things,! the invisible forms and voices that surround him. "The power is one that ought to be under control. There will be only barm done if you do not uhnt at Will the clair voyant eye. Imagine the mischief that would happen, if when life and death hung on the absolute concentration of all faonlties on the subject immediately before you, if at the supreme moment you were; to see the whole phantasma goria of borderland pass between you and tbe point of exclusive interest. If you cannot control your sixth sense, you had, better not acquire it It is much better to do without it than to be con trolled by it " You should have the sense at com mand when you! need it, as you have your microscope or your telescope, but better have neither if you are to be compulsorily doomed at other will than yours to interrupt the work, of life; by a spectacle of the infinitely little or the infinitely, remote, Man should always be master of his senses, especially of the sixth sense, as it is called. In her further statements to Mr. Stead Julia goes on to say that the investigator must always be simple and not to be constantly thinking of himself. In other words, self consciousness must be avoided, or it will play havoo with the chances of success, j All one's mental faculties are -needed. Everything must be examined and tested without! preju dice and without partiality. Nothing can be achieved without time . and pa tience. : I.: ; , v. i i- . The first thing to be done to see the invisible ones, Julia says, is to be very still and to wait1 When quite still and - passive, close your eyes and think of the one whom you wish to see. j If it is a friend still alive in tbe body, it will help you if at tbe same time, although that is not essential, he or she be also passive and; alone. When you have two spirits in accord, both seeking the same thing, the difficulties are less, but you must be agreed in heart and soul. If you could keep the concentrated quiet attention for a longer period than five minutes without! becoming tired, then you had better do so. At no time, how ever, force yourself, for a strain means failure. . . If in this way, Julia declares, one succeeds in acquiring success, it is ac quired forever. There will be no more irting between the one who bas gained his object and . the spirit world. Tbe CTeatestSanger !is that the sixth sense mav contoel : the individual instead of being in Herald. itself. controlled. JNew xorit - - Warwickshire's Ducking Stools.

So the operator thought of Mary Brand, believed himself - to be very miserable and filed more coals on the fire, 'though the little stove was already redhot i . - -; i Jnst when darkness succeeded the dull daylight snow begajn to fall, and iwith the first flakes came John Thomas.

His jaw dropped and the beautiful pipe fell to tbe floor. John caught his horse and headed away toward the ranch through the falling snow.

Argonaut. , - - ; Blsh Heel Shoe, Women are more of ten too short than too tall, and consequently try to gain hcAoM. hv mi no on hioh heeled shoes. una tneso ao nnaouoieajy givu uigunj m ... . , . . . i j i t I long as the wearer stands still, but in mo tion they are graceless, even in a room, and deform the feet. Thus women are made to minister to a very short lived fancv and. from ai physiological stand noint. we cannot recommend them. Amer ican women, as a rule, have too small feet, which do not add to their beauty. The better shane a foot is the smaller it will look, but in the disproportionately small foot there is always rinvolved an awkward gait. The loot oi a large woman bhuuiu be lareer than the foot of a small woman or a slenderly built woman, and usually- to her unnecessary sorrow she has a large one. The foot In length should be the lenetb of tho ulna, a bone in the forearm, whinh extends from a lump in the outer nortlon of the wrist to the elbow. Of course the ulna is f longer In tall people, and to be eraceful the foot should be alsos , Most people would be surprised that the foot should be as long as the forearm ana would be. Inclined Ijo dispute! the fact un less proved by experience. Large women pinch their feet In tight shoes because they are ashamed! to have them in proportion to their bodies. Thus In time they deform them until they are Out of all proportion to the body and sometimes in thedlreo tion they do not intend. The publio eye, being not critical of proportion, considers them small. ! Therefore there is no excuse for exchanging this kind of 1 torture and the dignified carriage two essentials to the greatest beauty. In fact, anything else could be better) sacrificed than ease of motion. Exchange. i Wall Covering. Don't forget that a mistake in wall cov ering spoils the effect of any room. Don't have a cold background for jour pictures blue or gray, fo instancei unless the room is very sunny j Havoadado in too high ceilinged rooms and a striped paper to increase tbe apparent height In a low room. A good warm shade pn the walls gives a chance to hang etchings, sketches, plaster casts, etc. considered i so desirable now.

Eee lish news than looked for, but almost im mediately gave way under rumors of Rood rains in Texas, increased estimates for port receipts and signs of weakness in the English market, indicated by sub sequent advices. Liverpool was a fair buyer On the call, but turned seller on the decline. Newj Orleans sold lightly this morning, but purchased the late months in a small way in the afternoon. September was about the only cpion that showed pronounced weakness. The late months improved in the afternoon on light local covering, started by re duced estimates for to-morrow's port receipts and fears that Friday's govern ment report will be! more bullish than had at first been anticipated.
