STUART CUMBERLAND.
....... i , ,
Something About tho Author of
"Marked for a Victim,"
Hfi Is " Thonght-Reader " to Enropo's
Crowned Heads.
Hit Theory of 'Wliltcclinpel's Mystery
Expressed la Fiction.
Mr. Stuart Cumberland, whoso now and
dramatic story, "Marked for a Victim," bo-1
eim In TnK Evenino Would to-morrow, pos-
eesses a world-wide repute as on occultist, a I
mystic and a ' ' thought-reader " to the Uppor j
Ten Thousand. A man of wealth, he has de
voted himself to tho study of occnlt subjects
as a bobby, and claims to have been engaged
to read tho thoughts of tho crowned heads
and almost everybody of promlnonco in Eu
rope. In "Marked for a Victim" Mr. Cumber
land has woven a story of much dramatlo in
terest. Though founded on the Whltecbapcl
mysteries and expressing his theory of thoso
utrocities, the storr avoids the objeotional
and gruesomo details. It Is several degrees
more thrilling than the conventional novol,
and, what with love, mystery and opcultism,
it is intensely Interesting from tho first lino
to the last.
Though the author of several other works,
Mr. Stuart Cumberland is best known to the
pnblio as a " thought-reader."
" Thought-reading " is a phase of the mod
ern spirit of physical research which bringa
psychological action and phenomena into the
sphere of scientific research. The ' ' .Loudon
Society of Fsyohical Research" makes this
sort of vital energy the object of its special
endeavor, and the soul falls Into its place as
i thing to bo studied, just as naturally as
ilectricity.
it is an opinion of several thousand years'
standing that no human being could read
another human being's thoughts, if that other
human being could keep his thought fonted
up iu his thinking colls. Modern Thought
Heading, its expononts think, is rather
knocking out that idea.
Stuart Cumberland is one of tho most
brilliant exponents of this fascinating prac
tice. It can be deservedly styled a practice
with him, because he has adopted it as a pro
fession, and reads thoughts as lawyers study
briefs, or as doetors diagnose and give clinics.
Stuart Cumberland is a man of about thirty
five years of oge. He comes of a fine old
English family which has that surest olalm to
respectability in Albion that it owns real
estate.
He had an assured income from his own
fortune, and has devoted himself to this pe
; cnliar field beoauso ho was too brainy a fellow
to bo simply a dawdling sooiety man. Ho is
quite a fine-looking man, of good physlquo
and polished manners.
Mr. Cumberland is a gToat traveller, and a
student m many lines of knowledge. The
occult and subtler branches of science are
the ones that appeal to blm most.
He was in the United States five years ago,
and travelled all over the country, as well as
South America.
He also went from East to West through
tho British possessions on tho Canadian
Pacific. The impressions nnd information
which ho gathered from this; trip, through
some of tho most striking places on the
Western Continent, he embodied in a book
which he called "The Queen's Highway,"
This work has recoived the most flattering
sncomlums from the uress. LordLausdowne,
die present Governor-General of the Do
minion of Canada; tho Marquis of Lome, his
predecessor in that position: Lord Duflerin.
once an Incumbent of tho same, and Sir John
Maodonald, the Canadian premier, wrote blm
hearty congratulations on the thoroughness
and alue of his production. They certainly
were admirably qualified to rightly estimate
Lin succoss in this undert iking.
Mr, Cuniberlind ha, also published a weird
book, " The Jt&bbi's SpelLv' He is a Fellow
of tho Royal Geographical Seciety. One of
thehtcst works from his pen is styled " A
Ibougbt-Keador's Thoughts."
He claims nothing preternatural in the ac
complishment, nor is be a Splrltuolist. On
the other bond, while he claims that ho will
do anything that any mlud.reader can por
torm, and achieves results whioh are unique
with itself , he does not say that it is trickery.
Irving Bishop's feats were duplicated by
Mr. Cumberland when he was here in New
York. He moved in society and had the
entree among the Four Hundred.
Mr. Cumberland has psychologically an
alyzed some of the most distinguished per
sonages on the continent, and also many of
our American celebrities, among whom may
be mentioned the late Henry Ward Beeohor,
' '
8rr!!.!f,r Wen4u Holmes, the poet John
G. WhltUerandinany others with a good
deal of mind to read.
-Among the other notables whose minds
Mr, Cumberland has perused are the Impe.
rial families of Austria aud Russia, the lato
tmperor of Germany, Prince Bismarck, the
hliodive. the Nyzam of Hyderabad, tho King
nf the bandwich Island, those wily diplomats,
p-o Giero and Andrassyt Rubinstein. Coque
Ilu. Mine. Adam. Mr. Gladstone Fred Bur
liaby, Henry Stanley, tho artist Munkacsy,
tho Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Derby,
t'rincess Motternich and scores of others of
like prominence and mental excellence.
Ho has been claimed by tho Spiritualists as
a medium," by tho Psychical Resoarcu
people as a conductor of brain waves nnd ex.
ample of telepathy, and by Mmo. Blavatsky
and the Thcosophists as tho possessor of an
astral body."
All of these distinctions Mr. Cumberland
declines with thanks, and will have none of
them. He proesses to read thoughts in a
subject by interpreting tho physical indica.
tions conveyed to him by tno subject. Unless,
a subject is able to concentrate his mind
upon tho thing sufficiently to give tho ntoes
nary muscular indications Mr. Cumberland
frankly admits that it is morally impossible
for him to tell what is in ttm subject's mind.
lint it is not with weak aud nervous people
that ho has the most success, as might bo
fcupposcd. Experiments with tms class aro
moro frequently failures than with any
others. The man of iron will, who can con
cenliato his thoughts strongly on a riotorm
ined thing, is tho one whoso mind is mont
easily read by Mr. Cumberland. Mr. Glad
stono was an excellent subject, as was also
tho lata Kaiser.
A thought reader has greater powor with
artists than with musicians. Gounod garo
Mr. Cumberland the greatest trouble, though
Rubinstein was a very sympathetic one.
Clergymen, ior drawing-room experiments,
are absolutely perfect.
To conclude, Mr. Cumberland makes his
whole confession of faith when ho says that
thought reading is body reading. He soys it
is exceedingly exhaustive work. Mr. Cum
berland has abandoned it himself to devote
his energies to somo more permanent efforts.
His now story is tolerably certain to attract
attention, and that is irhy The Evenimii
World has secured the exclusive right of
presenting it to the New York public
THOSE "EVENING WORLD" MINIATURES.
How and by What Process They Were Pro
duced In the " BIlEzarri Kxtrru"
" Wonder how thoy did that ?" was tho ox
olamation of thousands who looked at the
minature reproduction of Tuk Evening
Wonu, issued during tho blizzard, which
were duplicated in yesterday's Evexinci
Wobld. It is to answer tho universal query
that these explanatory lines aro written.
Gelatine when prepared by a certain secret
process has tho property of becoming almost
as hard as metal when exposed to sunlight
and romaining soft and solubla when kept in
the dark.
In making an electrotype by this process
the ' ' original " is first p aood in front of the
camera, and photographed on nlais.
It is then treated to a solution of rubber,
whioh, when it dries, leaves a rubber film,
which is very tough. The negative is then
peeled off and transferred to a larger glass.
A gelatine plate Is then placed over it, and
after the two are fitted in a f nmo are placed
in the sunlight. Thin hardens the gelatine,
where it is exposed through tho letters or
lines of the negative.
The gelatine plate is then placed on a block
and receives a vigorous scrubbing with a
coarse brush and ordinary soap and water,
until the type stands out in bold relief.
Tho plate is then electrotypod the same as
a form of type, and is thon ready for the im.
presjion.
The Wetttntnstcr Review and Bloclcfbri were
formerly Imported from England. For sev
eral months past the first copy that comes
over is sent to E. M. Gill, of SI North Moore
street, and in less than a week the plates are
finished and on exact fao simile of the English
edition is printed.
Mr. Gill has now well undor way a book of
1,300 pages, 8x10 inches in size. They are
fnll of small notes and illustrations, nnd to
set in type would be a big undertaking.
With the proof reading, Ac, it would require
upward of two years to oomplete the job. By
this process tho whole thing can be done in
six weeks, and when finished it is all ready
to go on the press.
The Evenino World's plates were made
bv E. M. Gill, of 31 North Moore street, am'
it goes without saying, the reproduction was
most notable.
The New York and Philadelphia NetrLlne,
via Central Railroad, of New Jersey, and Phila
delphia and Beading Railroad. Thirteen pas
senger trains dally to and from Philadelphia
over the new and fast line constitute a service
equal to any in America. Superior roadbed,
increased trains, faster time, Pullman sleeping
and dining-room oars and all modern Improve,
monts place this line in the front rank, and the
travelling public will not be slow to attest their
appreciation. The new station in Philadelphia
at Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets enables
passengor who desire it to embark and leave
trains at that point. V

a nice, clean copy of a doctor's certificate,
testifying to tho fact that he was ill. Tho
members of tho company, however, were
notified that tho season bad onded. Thus,
flftoon people who had expeoted to play for
some timo to oome and to open the season In
Now York in a new play ate thrown out of
work. Bryton has not had a very sue.
cossful season. Starting out, backed
again by Nate Salsbury. who hai slnco
gone to Europe with the ihtontlon of
buying one or two new plays, he has
been compelled to fall back upon "For
given," which he has been playing all season
except when he tried Barrymore's play, " The
Don." Mombers of the company say that tho
failure of " The Don " was startling. It wos,
say they, a failure from beginning to end, and
was therefore quickly abandoned. They
were in hopes, however, that Mr. Bryton
would attempt another play this season. Three
years ago Mr, Bryton began work, backed by
his friend Salsbury. Something like 15.000.
it is said, was "dropped." Bryton, how
ever, soon became a favorite, and at the
end of the second season money had

of Philadelphia, and soon had the pleasure
of learning that the Weldon Club was ready
io commence its experiments, that the ' ' Go

Evans, would leave Philadelphia April 20.
This wos the opportunity for Robur and his
crew to satisfy the vengeance that filled their

hearts. A terrible vengeanco from which tho
"Go-ahoad" would not escape. A publlo
vengeanco, which at the samo timo would
prove the superiority of the air-shlp over bal
loons and other aparatiis of the kind.
That Is why tbe air-ship, like a huge vul.
ture, was hovering over Fairmount Park.
Yes! it was tbe " Albatross, " easily recog
nized, even by those who had never seen It.
The "Go-ahead" was still fleeing. But It
understood tho fact that it was useless to at.
tempt to escape in a horizonal line. It there,
foro sought a vertical flight, not by approach,
ing tha earth, for tbe air.ship would have
barred the way, but by rising still higher in
the air. It waa very audacious, but it was
their only chance.
In the meanwhile the "Albatross" began
to riso also. Being much smaller than tbe
"Go-head," it lookod lllio a sword-fish at.

community I Iliohmond keeps ahead of the
times.
Littlo Miss Hattio Dolaro-Barnes says that
she thinks variety is the spioe of life. Now
that she has variod the monotony of her ex

in "The Queen's Mats" and as u bride In
real life, she is contemplating an offer to ap.

It could havo annihilated it at a single blow
by piercing tho covering of the balloon. Then
Uncle Prudent and his companions would
have been crushed by a f rigbtlul fall.
Tho crowd htood breatblcss, muto Viith
horror, seized with that fright which op
presses (he chest and turns the head at seeing
a person fall from a great height An aerial
combat was about to transpire, n combat
which did not offer ono-half of tbo chances
for safety presented by a naval combat.
The " Go-ahead " was draped with the
American colors, to which llobur jcopliod by
hoisting tho black flag with tho goldon sun of
Bobur the Conqueror. The "Go-ahead"
wasendeavoring to distance its euemy by
rising still higher in tho air, throwiug out
every pound of ballast and adding 3,000 feet
to its height. The "Albatross," its propel
lers working at full speed, waa following
every movement of the balloon.
Suddenly a cry of horror was rain oil from
the cloud. Tho " Go-ahead " was increasing
in size and the air-ship was lowering rapidly.
This time It was a fall. The gas, dilating in
tho higher zones of tho air, had burst tho
covering, and, half empty, tho balloon was
rapidly falling.
But the air-ship, moderating its susponslve
scrows. was drooping with oiual speod, aud
when about!), COO feet above the earth rn&cbod
tho car of tho balloon, Tho manoeuvre was
so accurately performed that the passengers
might have stepped to tho deck of tho air
ship. Unole Prudent aud Phil Evans would have
refused Bobur's assistance, Monld have re
fused to be saved by him, but tho crew of
tho air-ship cast themselves on the passen
gers and forcibly compelled them to pais
from the " Go-ahead " to tbe " Albatross."
Then the air-ship disengaged ltsolf and re.
malned stationary, hlle the balloon, emptied
of gas, fell on tho park tree and swayed with
tbo wind.
Complete silence reigned below. It seemed
as if life had beeu suspended in overy bosom.
Many cycn were already closed to shut out
tbo sight of the ratostropho.
Uncle Prudeut and Phil Evans were again
the prisoners of the inventor, Kobur.and now
that they wero retaken, would he again carry
them into space, doomed to perpetual im
prisonraent?

instead of remounting into (he air, tbe
" Albatross " drew closer to the earth, as If it
wished to alight. Tbe crowd cleared a space
iu the middlo of the clearing.
Tbo "Albatross" stopped within two
yards of the earth. Then, in the midst of
the profound silence, the voice of the inventor
was heard i
"Citizonsof the United States, the presi

ing them I would only bo oiorcisinc my right
of reprisal. Dut the passion raised in thoir
hearts by the success of tho 'Albatross'
assures me that the state of mind is not
ready for that important revolution which
w ill one dav accomplish the conquest of the
air. ttuclo Prudent and Phil Evans, you are
free."
Tbo president, secretary, tho aeronaut and
his assistants had only io step to the ground.
Tho "Albatross" remounted to about forty
feet above tho crowd and ltdbur continued :
" Cithcns of the United States, my task is
