AN ILLUSION DISP ELLED.
How the Vanishing Lady Trick Is
Work.

1t is rather late in the history of the
world for sober-minded men to talk of
magic, for that was left behind when it
rolled out of the mysticism and the
credulity of the dark ages. Not since
Ponce de Leon came to America in
search of fountain Of eternal youth
and got stuck in frog pond in the
wilderness of Florida has the world had
faith i'll fairy stories.
In the face of all this, however, in the
person of Prof. HOFFMAN and the So
called mysterious vanishing lady," the
dime museum presents this week what
purports to be real life necromancer,
who is able to make something out of
nothing. A pulling product of his
power is manifested ON lady who is
said to be daily dissolved in air. The
museum does not claim that the lady is
literally etherealized, but declares the
thing so mysterious and pulling that
this is the only explanation of the phe-
nomenon.
AS a matter of fact, the Vanishing
Lady is simply an invention of Lautier
De Kulte, clever Parision coniurer.
When first presented by him at the
Eden MuSee, Paris, the Vanishing Lady
proved nine days wonder. Scientists
wrote learned and conjectural theo-
ries about her, and later Berlin

Senator Sabin, beaming with smiles,
hustled into the Merchants yesterday,
and as soon as he could disengage him
self from the throng of well-wishers in
the rotunda, he hurried to his head
quarters OH the second floor, where he
was closeted the entire day with his
lieutenants. Concerning his visit to
Indianapolis, the senator said that he
had not forgotten to impress upon the
pTeSident-elect the necessity for taking
care of the interests of the Northwest,
and especially any matters which would
come up before the secretary OF the in
terror. He found the president-elect
very cheerful and extremely gratified
at the result of the campaign.
but fully equal to the task of keep
ing his own counsel about cabinet
and other matters about which the
country was exercised. II talked about
the Dudley matter with a number Of
Indiana Republicans" continued the
senator. land my impressions derived
from their conversation were that
there was a great deal of smoke but
very little fire in the matter. The
Democrats are anxious to avail them
selves of every opportunity to explain
the cause of the overwhelming defeat
which they met with last month, and
the Dudley incident afforded them a
very convenient preteXt. There may
be considerable talk about indicting
the lieutenant of Senator Quay, but [
do not think it will amount to much. L

twenty-five cents to telephone,
and only 20 cents to telegraph between
the Twin Cities. Patrons may become
dissatisfied at times. and fancy that it
takes an unusually long time to receive
an answer to a message, but if such
cases are investigated it will be shown
that in most every instance the re-
ceiver of the telegram was not
in, and it was necessary to call
several times before the message could
be delivered. A man speedily discovers
the absence of friend whom he tries
to telephone. but when message is
filed the sender is usually inclined to
believe that his message should be de-
livered instantly, and does not take
into consideration the obstacles which
may impede its reaching the one for
whom it is intended.

MRS. LINDMAN'S MONEY.
Testimony for Olsen Still Being
Presented.

The Olsen case continues to draw
curious crowd of sp ectators to the court
room. Peter Eckberg, Olsen's relative,
occupied the stand all the morning and
part of the afternoon yesterday. He
testified as to the relations existing be-
tween Mrs. Lindman and Olsen, and
the disposition of Mrs. Lindman's
money which was in the Bank of Min
nesota. Mrs. Lindman, upon hearing
that her son. Nels, had married and
gone to California. grew very angry,
and told Olsen and Eckberg that he
should not have a cent of her money be-
cause ne had married. The testimony
of Prof Dodge, of the state university,
was direct contradiction to that of DR..
Lehman. The professor testified that
in all his experiments he obtained none
of the results which DR.. Lehman did,
and that some of the doctors results
were impossibilities. The case may go
to the jury tomorrow.

New Through Line to st. Joseph,

On Monday. Dec. 10, the Chicago, st.
Paul & Kansas City railway will begin
running their through sleepers from st.
Paul and Minneapolis to st. Joseph,
the train leaving st. Paul at Z: 53 p. m.,
arriving in st. Joseph at l: 35 p. m. the
next day, making through connection
for all California, West and Southwest
ern points. This train will be made up
of an entire new service, consisting of
Mann boud0ir cars, which have been
built expressly for this run. TheSecars
are furnished with buffet and are made
up entirely of single rooms, which will
make the service complete. This, we
feel assured, will be appreciated by
grateful public. New dining cars will
be placed upon this run. The Buffet
service attached to the Mann cars will
supply passengers meals in the mean
time. Passengers taking this train will
be supplied with every comfort neces-
sary to make the journey agreeable,
and as this is decidedly the short Iine
we have every reason to feel assured
that it will at once become most pop

and London men puzzled over
the trick. Still the secret was pre-
served, and it was not until the phe-
nomenon was brought to America that
the veil of mystery was lifted. The
trick is cleverly performed, and Mile.
Savita, as the lady is called, is very
pretty and charming; but the secret OF
the famous Illusion is very simple. A
tall gentleman with a scholarly face,
hair combed back from high brow,
and wearing dress suit. is Prof. Hof-
man, the necr0mancer, and he is accom-
panied by blonde, who is decidedly
pretty. The latter is Mile. Savita, who
has the knack of disappearing 50 sud-
denly and mysteriCusly. The professor
talks pleasantly to the audience while
he moves about the stage. and presently
picks up chair in careless manner
and places it about the middle of the
stage on newspaper, and the blonde
seats herself in the chair in the ordinary
womanly, restful position. From the
table the professor takes piece of fou-
lard silk, fabric not transparent, but
the silk has completely enyeloped her
and the chair, and still talking, the pro-
fessor in an instant quickly lifts the
silk. The girl is not there. The chair
remains exactly as it stood before. No
sounds have been heard in the mean
time. and there is no darkening Of the
stage. The silk covering even pre-
serves the form of the woman up to the
moment it was lifted by the professor.
The whole thing iSvery simple; for, as
everybody correctly guesSes, a trap is
used, but the investigator stops there.
The chair, newspaper, trap and
confederate below the stage
are the properties used. The chair is
not, as it looks, an ordinary article, but
is of heavy mahogany kind, thickly
upholstered in the seat and with an
open back. 1t is so constructed that by
touching concealed spring the seat is
made to drop down from the rear on
hinge, leaving the occupant free to sink
down the trap, which is regulated by
the confederate from below.
When the illusioniSthas seated her he
throws the piece of silk over her. and
the moment she is completely enveloped
she works spring which causes a thin
wlreWOrk to rise up from the back OF
the chair and spread itself about her
form, thus preserving undiSturbed the
the audience into the belief that she is
still in the chair. The trap used is
the ordinary demons drop, of good
size. After the girl has passed
through the trap. he confederate below
the stage springstthe hinged seat in the
chair to its place. Then he raps and the
illusionist above knows that all is ready
to pull away the veil. Added mystery
is gained by having the girl appear on
the stage as soon as possible.
This is moderately clear statement
of the way the thing is managed. Prof.
Hoffman is very clever conjuror and
Nine. Savita is very pretty woman,
and ''vanishes" with all the dignity
and grace that could be expected; but
they will cancel their engagement in st.
Paul.

it distinctly understood that am not a

reason that my duties as governor will

During my recent visit to New York l
met number of representative Repub-
licans. and on all sides l heard only ex-
pressions of qualification that Mime

of herself in the recent national cam
paign. My business affairs have en-
crossed my entire attention since my re-
