Tomorrow evening Mr.. J. Randall
Brown will give his much talked Of
seance at the Grand Opera House, and if
he does what is said of him by those
who have witnessed his performances
elsewhere, he will puzzle some of our
shrewdest investigators. He will intro
duce some very startling phenomena.
both in the mental and physical line.
Little May Brown, a very prepossessing
young lady of rare mediumistic power,
will add to Mr.. Browns programme a
series of her wonderful and inexplicable
manifestations, and the entertainment
promises to be the most refined, unique
and original of its kind ever given in Los
Angeles.
The following extract is from the San
Francisco Chronicle in a report of Mr.
Browns performance in that city at the
Grand Opera House. when he crowded
that largest Of theatres to OVERT wing
with the elite of the city.
j. Randall Brown, the mind-reader,
gave most remarkable entertainment
at the Grand Opera House last night
succeeding in perfectly dumbfounding
the large audience present with the great
success of his tests. A committee com.
posed of Frank johnson, DIR. Sternheim,
I. Marriott and Milton Eisen was select.
ed by the audience to investigate and
conduct matters. Although the com.
mittee investigated the phenomenal acts
of Mr.. Brown with the thoroughness Of
skeptics, it was unable to fathom the
depths Of the spiritual manifestations
which baffied aud amused the large num-
Der of citizens present. The verdict of
all was that the performance must be
seen to be appreciated, and that it was
beyond apprehension.

CONSUMPTION.

The earlier symptoms OF this disease are
a sense of WEAKNESS upon little exertion, a
disposition TO remain passive and idle, pc.
culiar sensitiveness to the effects OF cold
and shortness of breath upon moving
quickly or ascending hill or stairs, slight
hacking cough, with or without expectora-
ton, flying pains throughout the chest or
back, or under the shoulder blades. The
symptoms are worse towards or during the
night, slight fever in the afternoon. cold
feet and hands, and in many cases blue liv-
idity of the lips and roots of the finger nails.
The more advanced symptoms are wasting
of flesh, disrrhea, chills and fever, night
sweats, expectorations of yellow pus from
the ulcers or cavities in the lungs, with or
without depression of the chest, increasing
weakness and at last closing up of the air
passages of the lungs, causing strangulation
or suffocation of the patient for want OF
power to expectorate the mucus from the
lungs.
Heretofore the treatment of consum ption
has been very unsatisfactory, alike to both
the physicians and their patients, but lucki-
ly since the discovery of the Aerean system
of practice few years ago. thousands OF
cases have been completely cured, where

Chamberlain and Trevelyan objected
to this as wholesale issue which would
depreciate values. The speaker there

given him occasion to reconsider that
original proposition.
PARNELLs STATEMENT.
Parnell said that not having had Mr..
Chamberlain advantage of Cabinet
seat he was not prepared to express a
confident opinion upon the merits and
dement's OF the scheme until he had
seen the provisions Of the bill. Mr..
Chamberlain had spoken in deservedly
complimentary terms of Mr.. Dayitt and
had expressed desire to know the lat
ter's opinion of the Land Purchase bill.
Mr.. Parnell assured Mr.. Cham
berlain that Mr.. Davitt would
not act from motives of personal
spite or jealousy (Parnellite cheers) but
solely out of regard for ireland. To
the speaker it appeared that tie APP
pointment of Receiver-General was
unnecessary and absurd, because, accord
ing to the promised statement the re-
ceipts from customs and excise duties in
ireland will amount to within f20, 900
of the total amount payable by Ireland
to the Imperial exchequer. Would it not

Receiver General would be most often

show reluctance to trust Irishmen even
for such small sum as EGO, 600. The OBJ

make the measure party question, but
by yielding as much as possible to set

War Department was called some time
since to the pretended operations OF an
Institution located in New York City
under the title of the United States
Military Post Library Association, the
managers Of which have been asking aid
from benevolently inclined people upon
the plea that it had been and still is rem
dering great moral and religious aid to
the enlisted men Of the army by sup
plying them gratuitously with reading

which the association claims that during
the past year 10000 copies Of periodi-
calls were sent to the army with happy
results, 1t announces that its Off
GERS include the President, Secretary
Of war and other prominent army OH
GERS of the highest rank and upon this
evidence Of its high standing and semi
Off cial character obtained quite con-

CHICAGO, April l6.-All union switch
men of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
went out on strike this afternoon. The
difficulty grows ont of the fact that the
Switchmen's Union has demanded the
discharge of few non-union scabs and
the refusal of the company to comply
with the request. Local agents of the
company say their Objectionable men
