AN ANOMALY.
Paul Alexander tombstone, the
Chicago Mind Reader.

Paul Alexander tombstone, whose
recent extraordinary feats of mind
reading have astonished not only
the citizens of Chicago, where they
were performed but have excited
comment throughout the world, IS
one Of the anomalies Of nature. His
first feat to attract public attention
was to drive hlindfolded from the
Auditorium to the Grand Pacific
Hotel and there pick out from an
old register a name that had pre-
viously been selected by a commit
tee. This he did with but one false
move though the nervous strain was
so severe that tombstone collapsed
Immediately after he had achieved
his point, and it took the skillful at
tention OF several physicians to bring
him from a condition Of coma into
consciousness. Within few hours
he was suffering from congo ton of
the brain and for over One-half hour
his life was momentarilv despalred
Of. His pulse reached the abnor-
NAL point of $50 and his rawlings
were incoherent and frantic. He
was given an opiate to induce rest,
and soon afterward quoted down
and slept until next morning, when
he awoke in possession of his facul-
ties, but feeling greatly debilitated.
A few days afterwards he unlock
ed the combination of safe that
was only known to a committee who
had set the lock and this he did
without much exhaustion. Many
others of his feats while not appear
ing so extraordinary at first thought,
equally prove that tombstone posses
ses the gift of reading the minds of
others. tombstone is intelligent and
for fourteen years of his life resided
in Chicago where he was born.
His father was formerly in business
there. 1t is said that his mother
died in that city and it was after her
death that the family moved to Wis
consin. Johns tone never trained to
be a mind.reader but seemed to
possess the natural gift Of perspica-
city, and was quite young when he
gave amusing tests of his power
among his friends.
