NO "SPIRITUALISM'' ABOUT 1T.
Just a Clear Effort Of Memorizin

At the opera house last Saturday
night Miss Howard, assisted by Prof.
Williams, gave an exhibition to a
hundred dollar audience.
Miss Howard and her confederate.
while not absolutely laying claim to
the possession of the power of second
sight, mind reading, mental telegraphy
or spiritualism, yet did not disavow it
and left the impression with the audi
ence that they were really gifted with
those powers-if the audience chose
to look at it in that light.
The second sight trick as practiced
by Miss Howard is a fake or humbug.
Her only performance worthy of men
ton was the example of second sight.
The lady was placed on the stage,
blindfOlded, in full view of the audi
ence, and her o confederate went
through the audience, asking the
name, color, ETC., of a hundred differ
ent articles in rapid succession, every
one of which, save in one or two in
stances, were answered promptly and
correctly by Miss Howard from the
were tile
hall, and from their looks it could be
guessed that they considered the per-
formance as having connection with
the supernatural. A number of the
incredulous cried 'ventriloquism" and
electricity" One young man who
produced an article which was correct
ly named, handed it to his companion
with, Don't you feel the electricity in
it?"
The true secret of the ''clairvoy-
ants" tricks lie in the way the ques-
tions are put by the confederate, and
he was the Individual, not Miss How
ard, who was responsible for the great
est portion of the mystification.
HOW 1T Is DONE.
The twenty-six letters of the alpha
bet are used in determining the
proper answers, so also is the position
or number of each letter in the alpha
bet. For instance, if the letter NJ is
thought of, the number 13, being the
thirteenth letter in the alphabet, comes
to mind. The performer must memo
rize these numbers. After this, twenty
six verbs or phrases are memorized,
each one corresponding to a certain
letter OF the alphabet, and also to its
number. The list of verbs usually are
the fOllowinp.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such q remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the the Great Aiterative itn @ and Tonic Tonic; If you
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find re-
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
90 C, and 81 per bottle at j.. W. Conn's
Drug store.

About dozen watches were pro-
duced, and of course all the answers
were correct. Now, to get Miss How
ard to understand, he must spell out
the word watch" with his arbitrary
alphabet. He starts with the letter
W. In the list W represents ''Do you
see," A represents "Come," T repre-
sents Let us know" G represents
Hurry up" and FL represents San
swer." The confederate now asks the
questions and he will add few other
words to fill out his sentences, and
which have no other significance.
Here is the question spelled out:
Do you see (W) what this is? Come
(A) let us know (T) Hurry &C.. An
swer (H).
The word watch is spelled out as
cleverly as a schoolboy could do it.
After this question was asked the
man asked Miss Howard to tell the
time of day. She answered, "a quar-
ter to ten" His question was, Now
tell us the time. Well?" The word
now" in our list stands for g. Tell
us" stands for 4, and the words, "the
time" have no significance with the
list, but "well' stands for 5 in our
list, and 50 he spelled out 9:45 o'clock,
which is the same as "a quarter to
ten," for answer.
Those who were there remember
how many times Miss Howard used the
word "coin." The man would ask the
question:
Tell me what this is. Go on, now.
Do you know?
That question in our list spells the
word "coin," ''Tell me CO., what this
is. Go on CO.., now Q)., Do you
know (N)?"-COIN.
If it happened to be a silver dollar,
he would ask: "Come what is il
worth?" the word worth" in their
list meaning dollar. If it was a cop
per cent piece the word ''value" would
be used, meaning zone cent"
The above is only half the trick. In
order to be able to tell each and every
article which may be brought out, the
two confederates memorize a long list
Of probable articles, alphabetically
arranged and three articles in each
set. This list can be run up into the
hundreds. Each article in each set
and each set in the list have a CORE
spending number. which both confed-
crates must remember.
