R.dmona..-K.nnear Tonight.

The great king of laughmakers Of
the nineteenth century. Prof. j. +.
Kennedy, whose fame as the leading
mesmerist OF America has become
worldwide. occupies the stage at this
theater tonight. The following, from
the Chicago Tribune, Will convey some
idea Of the character OF his entertain

contained q larger audience than as
sembled there last evening 70 witness
the entertainment of Prot. Kennedy,
the famous mesmerist. Every foot of
room was occupied, many ladies' beng
compelled 70 take seats IN the gallery.
Fortunately, Prof. Kennedy was at his
best, and Il "a safe TO say that but few
Of the vast audience left the house
feeling skeptical on the subject of mes
merIsm. Several people went to the
tnester prepared 70 test the genuine
ness of Prof. Kennedy's demOnstra-
tons In a most extraordinary manner.
They brought hOrseradls n, the strong
CT Il was possible 70 mud, and aCqua
ammonia. TO administer to the subjects.
The subjects were told that hOrseradish
was sce cream, and they ate It with APP
parent relish, not wlncing a particle.
They put their noses into the ammonia
bottle, strong enough TO knock = per-
son down, and whitfield It with as much
satisfaction as though II were actual
ottar of roses. They also sprlnkled
their clothes, handkerchiefs and hair
with the horrible stuff. Many other

pearl strset IMPROVEMENT.

There has been a transformation IA
the appearance Of No. "a Pearl-st., OPP
pOsite Sweets Hotel, during the pact
two weeks. Tie store building recent
liz vacated by Geo. H. Reeder & Co., IS
now occupied by the Palmer SHIRT Com
pany, and the bright, attractive appear
ance OF the place Is a credit 10 their
taste and good judgment. II Is one OF
the nandsomest fronts in the city. and
is reinforced by an equally attractive
interior. The legend "Shirts made TO
measure" together with an artistic WIN
dow display OF shlrtings and full dress
bOSOns, makes II unnecessary 70 dwell
upon the line OF goods manufactured
The Palmer Shirt Company was reor-
gained October ID of this year. with
o. l.. Palmer as president, VIM. III.
Fowle vice president, and A. j. CID
dings (for many years connected
with the Giant Clothing Com
pany) as secretary and treasurer.
Increased business necessitated enlarg-
ing both capital and capacity; hence
the change. They occupy the first
floor, basement and sixty feet Of the
upper floor. The front of the first
floor is fitted up for office and sales
room, the rear being used for manufac-
turing purposes, with a glass partition
between. 1t will doubtless be sur
prise TO many to know that this COM
pany's business extends from Tennes-
see and Kentucky to the Lake Superior
region. Six 50 lesmen constantly on the
road cover that territory, besides which
they do an extensive business here in
the city. A great many people appre-
ciate a perfect fitting shirt, and are
willing TO pay the slight difference be
tween custom work and stock work.
The Palmer SHIRT Company cater to
that class of trade.

MY LADY'S TEA GOWN.

NJ lady has tea gown
That is wondrous fair to see
1t is founced and rufEed and plated and
pufed
As tea gown ought TO be;
And thought she must be testing
Last night at supper when
Size remarked, by chance, that it came
from France,
And had cost but two pounds ten.
Had she told me fifty shi!lings
l might (and wouldn't youD
Have referred to the dress i'll way that's
expressed
By an eloquent dash or two:
But the guileful little creature
Knew well her tactics when
She casually said that dream in red
Had cost but two pounds ten
Yet our home is all the brighter
For that dainty, sentient thing
That floats away when it properly may,
And clings when it ought to cling.
And count myself the luckiest
OF all us married men
That have wife whose joy in life
Is gown at two pounds ten.
It isn't the gown compels me
Copdone this venial sin
It's the pretty face above the FACE
And the gentle heart within;
And with her arms about me,
say and say again
"'Twas wondrous cheap"-and I think q
heap
OF that gown at two pounds ten.

nered, gentle spoken New Highlander. A

OF dust was brought before him. The wit

about ten minutes the alcalde said:
Would you like a jury trial, my son!'
"No, judge, reckon you'll be fair"
Gan right my son. Now, first you give
back the dust you stole"
Certainly, judge; the sheriff has it."
''And the court regrets it, but you ought to
pay costs; one ounce for sheriff fees, one
ounce for me-"
Here it is, and thank We. judge'-pulling
out heavily filled bag and handing over
the required amount.
The alcalde looked him all over, and his
voice grew even milder as he said:
THAT is all, except one trifling formality.
Boys, take him out, give him thirty-nine
lashes, well laid on, put him on his mule and
tell him to travel."-New England Maya
