ceded well worded, logical and
eloquent paper by the Rev. DR..
VIM. 81. Philips, entitled "Ministe'

The paper covered all claims,
answered all questions. and refuted
all objections; it also discussed IT,

MISS LENA LOEB.

Her Second Exhibition at tho Athen-
cum.
The second entertainment of Miss Lena
Loeb, the electric girl" took place last
evening at the Atheneum again. The main
features were like those of the first and as
wonderful as ever. The audience was some
what smaller than the first evening. Last
night she pushed to the wall six lusty men,
instead of one as on the previous occasion,
holding on to a pitchfork handle. Last
night she had once to Chamber up stairs,
blindfolded as usual. to find hidden obs
iect. There was great burst of good
humored laughter among the audience when
she led a young man by the ear and pulled
him up to the STAGE She couldn't help do
ing it, for the man who guided her mentally
willed her to do it; and the young man took
it all in good part as he ought. In another
like test Of her mind reading power, one gen.
tlemap had the great sorrow of being taken
away from his dear, beloved wife, and sat
down in remote corner seat, the occupant
of which seat had the satisfaction of being
invited to take his place by the agreeable
lady. The reporter felt sure that the latter
gentleman was welcome and seemed to enjoy
the change very much. And an old man
with a long gray beard, in third similar
test, had the fair performer come up to him
and smooth down the patriarchal appurten-
ance of his face, He smiled extreme satiss
faction thereat.
The afternoon outdoor, st rect test of find
ing hidden object located by committee
of three, starting from Church street, was
abandoned. It was because they could not
get permission from the police; the officials
were afraid that the crowd might obstruct
the public highways.
