SPIRITUALIsM EXPOSED. Prof. Cecil
exposed the preteusions of so-called
Spiritualistic mediums at the Museum last
evening to fair audience. The exhibition the
Professor gives is certainly one of the best of
the kind ever given 10 this city. A committee
consisting of Messrs. S. G. Andrews, John e.
Dow and Thomas 2. Beals was selected by the
audience, and took seats upon the stage. They
carefully examined all the instruments which
the Professor used and assured thu audience
that they were what they appeared to be. The
performances then began. Tbs Davenport
manifestations inside the cabioet were all sue
cessfully produced. Mr.. Dow was placed in
cabinet and his coat and vest removed by the
medium, who had been bound hand and foot
by the committee, much to the amazement Of
Mr.. Dow ard the amusement of the audience
A policeman placed his handouts on the me-
dunn, the cabinet was closed aud 10 about a
minute the doors were opened and the me-
dium's hands were free and the handouts we're
seen locking pitcher and chair together. The
naturalization trick was very successfully
performed, better than ever before in this city
Tonight Prof. Cecil gives another exhibition,
and those interested in so-cal'e1 Spiritual phe-
nomena had better attend and see how easily
they are produced without supernatural aid.
