Quite a lively little rumpus, sad to relate, has been fluttering the spiritualist dovecole. The trouble has arisen over the American super medium, Valiantine, who went to give a series of special demonstrations before the the Society of Psychical Research. Having falled to im press the SP.R. quite as much as he meant to, Vallantine (or his supporters) proceeded to make the discovery that the head- quarters of the Society were "un. suitable for his performances, which have now been transferred to the private bouse of that... thusiastic patron The Verony Mr. H. Donnis Bradley, who ought, at any rate, to be able to take the American medium's measure. Are the spiritualists, like the Christias Scientists, going to spilt into two rival camps, just to show that now 'religions” are (in some respects) a good dezl Hke the old ones ?,
