ALL ABOUT GHOSTS. BY THE
REV. THOS. GRIMSHAW
Rev. Thos. Grimshaw,. pastor Cen
tral Spiritualist churchy gave out
, some information concerning Ihe
habits of ghosts last night. He said:
"We have evidence that spirits are
about the same after they have
passed out of this world as they are
here. We know they do not have the
cause for evil that some do in this
world. They are practically immune
' from the bread and butter question,
for it is no greater hardship for them
to get food than it is for us to breath.
"Spirits can't deceive. They know
it is impossible to tell a lie and get
away with it. A lie would be revealed
in the fery color of their garments.
Fancy a man who was 'romancer' in
this world trying to deceive another
spirit in giving up, say, 'Oh, what's
" the use.' "

YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT, BUT
YOU MUSN'T HEAR IT
Some ministers and some women
who often get thejr names in print
as reformers of evil spent an enjoy
able evening in the burlesque thea
ters Saturday night.
They said they heard jokes so foul
and corrupting that it was a violation
of moral law to say them on the bur
lesque stage. Then they proceed to
tell the roughest of these through a
three-column display-headed story in
the Tribune this morning, where
some few hundred thousands of men,
women' and children who most like
ly were never in a burlesque house
may read the stuff which Mrs. Boor
et al consider too indelicate for the
minds of the mature men who are
patrons of burlesque.
Among the investigators were Mrs.
Jas. G. Boor, Woman's Church Fed
eration morals committee chairman;
Rev. G. V. Van Dyke, E. 0.. Conover, .
E. S. Coffman, D. H. Keller, Mrs. R.
L. Moffett, 4618 N. Racine av. Mrs.
F. M. Reynolds, Austin; Mrs. L. E.
Koontz, 653 N. Lockwood av.; Mrs.'
A. C. Q.'Neal, 2512 W. 66th, other
clubwomen and university students.
Theaters visited were the Hay
market, Star and Garter, Gayety, Ca
sino, Hippodrome, National, Gem and
Stella.
, It is said some of the male univer
sity students especially enjoyed the
show at the Gayety, where the
chorus girls in the last number all
wore flesh-colored tights without
skirt or blouse and sangi "To see a
little more, you must meet us at the
door."
