ROBBED WHILE ASLEEP.
Story of statior-House Lodger.


A respectfully dressed man, who gave his
name as Frank A. Martin, applied at the Sixth
precinct station for lodging last night, and
stated that he had been robbed the night be-
fore Saturday in the Smithsonian grounds.
He had just arrived in the city and went into
the grounds to rest, and there fell asleep on a
bench. When he woke up the pockets of bis
vest and pants had been cut with a sharp in
strument, and a lot of papers and money
amounting to nearly three hundred dollars
stolen. He exhibited his pockets, which were
all cut, and said that all he had In the world
had been stolen, and that he could not leave
the city until he Received aid from friends in
Pittsburg, TO which city he is bound. He
stated further that he had called at police
headquarters to report the robbery, but that
ne had not done so, as the detective officer to
whom he wished to report the case was not
present. He lodged at the station-house dur
ing the night.

A Remarkable Accident and Dental Opera
tion.

On the 4th of last July an eight-year. old son
of William Whitehead. residing at No. 20 New
Britain avenue, in this city, fell upon car
rage step in such manner as to drive q CEN
tral incisor tooth upward and backward one
inch and half, the cutting edge lodging that
distance above its natural position and visible
through the right nostril, the tooth having
penetrated the floor of the nose. The tooth
was allowed to remain in this position for two
months, when, by advice of the physician, the
case was referred to dentist, and fell into
the hands of DIR. Dills. On making an exami-
nation DR.. Dills decided to attempt extraction
through the right nostril, the operation being
performed successfully yesterday-the Doctor
having taken one day to provide a suitable in
strumeDt. The tooth is a very broad one, and
is without doubt the first one ever thus ex-
tracted. The Gaze throughout is remarkable,
and will present many interesting points to the
dental profession.

house-Hermann's Magic.
Hermann will open his budget
~ o -. night. In addition to his numer-
ouo of magic and sleight-of-hand, this
- list now cutters the field of spiritual
49,. He will give special seance duriRg the
sc; emission, at which all believers in the
= rence of spiritualism should be present. If
hey can detect his tricks he will in nowise be
4 offended. We understand that he does not
| pretend to have full power ovsr those dsem-
bodied spirits who occasionally become CON-
municatiVe through his agency; but, neverthe-
| less, we are told that some most wonderful
revelations have been made by his mediumistic
| power.
1t will be grand view of the new science
which all will obtain by going there. He has
superb cabinet, fitted up with all the latest
improvements, which defy detection. Let all
skeptics attend, and see to the appointment of
| the proper committee, and guard as surely as
| possible against all possible deception by this
professor of tricks. 1t is difficult to conceive
Of Hermann in anything real as deception is
| his forte; so it will be marvel, indeed, If he
should turn out to be q genuine spiritual me-
| dium, or even genuine spiritualist. Let his
| spiritualism be what it may, his illusions are
amusing enough to repay all for going. Go
| and see Hermann by all means, but "a word
in your ear) don't carry anything Of value
| about your person. During brief visit to this
| office last evening he managed to spirit away
nearly everything of beauty or value on the
| desk by which he was invited to q seat.
