At the Coliseum Variety Theatre, in
Kansas City on Monday night, Herr
Guise, a magician, strode across the
stage and made his low salaam to the
dancing girls. Around the neck, in the
pockets and under the fantastic cap OF
magician we're seven snakes tree
snake, q hoop snake, boa aud various
kinds of rsttlesnakes. The boys in the
gallery shouted, whist!ed and screamed
Herr Guise did several tricks with his
pets. The dancing girls were persuad-
ed to let the constructor coil about their
ankles, binding as with chain a dOz n
pairs together. 1t was a wonderful
performance, the magician showing
trick after t:ick, With clever sallies
now and then. At one point boy in
the audience called out that the snakes
were without fangs, and therefore were
harmless. "Come up to de stage, mine
poy," said the performer. The boy
leaped over the footligbts aud stood at
the performers side. Herr Guise
threw a confident snow see" at the lad
and taking toothpick pressed open
the mouth of one of the reptiles that
the fangs might be shown. The reptiles
mouth opened, but in an instant its
fangs we're buried to the roots in the
msgiciaa's hand. Herr Guise at once
ran from the stage and drunk seven
large tumblers full of whiskey. Before
stupor fell upon bim he sucked the ven
ON from the wounds Nevertheless his
hand and arm became frightfully swoL
len and he was put to bed more dead
than alive. The Kansas City Times. of
Wednesday, says that the mans recov-
cry is not expected.
