TABLEAux FANTAsMA.
The Pleasing Entertainment Given Under
YIN. G. A. Auspices.

There should have been more people at the
first night of the Tableaux Phantasma last eve
ming, for the entertainment surely deserves pat
ronage. Many have witnessed the magical eff
fects produced by two stereopticon views man
aged so that one view merges into the other,
and when in the place of dead pictures you put
living statuary single and in groups, and pro-
duce the same effect the illusion is beautifed
immensely.
OF course there were some things that can
be improved for the second sight, but it reflects
great credit on Mr. Sherman that he could ham
die so large number of inexperienced per-
formers in the manner necessary for the quick
changes of the Illusion
A few minutes after eight the hall was dark
ened and while Miss McFadden softly brought
out the strains of beautiful music on the piano,
the figures forming the NEUROLOGICAL Illusions
appeared one by one in the centre of the stage
with an harmonizing background, and while
one was looking each picture melted away into
another. The audience was enthusiastic with
their applause as friend after friend was recog-
nized.
The military tableaux followed and the com
pany of Portland Cadets under the command
of Sergeant Cookson, rapidly grouped them
selves into the different positions producing fine
effects.
The Scriptural illusions seemed almost like
mind pictures SO beautifully were they shown
The comic tableaux were another phase of
the wonderful art, as were the classical tab
leaux, brought forth while Schubert's serenade
was being rendered and eliminating in an artis-
tic reproduction of Elaine"
The "Tricks on a Tourist" illustrated the use
of the art in humor and the grand allegorical
tableau was pleasing reiteration of what had
gone before.
Intervening between the different groups, the
Cecilian Quartette accomplished the musical
part of the programme in a very acceptable
manner.
Quartette- Last Rose of Summer. Anderson
Cecilians.
N' Miss BTo 1i and Miss Morrison.
Solo-Love is Dream. ......... .CoWen
Miss Knight.
Quartette- Coming Thro the Rye. Novrich
'oio-' anne ''7A Miss Morrison. Di'li'i-
Quartette-Blue Bells of Scotland 49,. Schilling
Cecilians.
The seemingly magical art which produces
these beautiful changes is accomplished with
very simple apparatus. A highly polished
piece OIL glass Is SCI Ill t6 Iluul6 VI Ic SbdSo db
such an angle that upon it are made
to appear the images of persons standing
in the wings, themselves out of sight of the
audience. The persons who are to appear in
the second picture are stationed behind the
glass; and when the moment for that transfer
nation comes. a black curtain is raised and
the second figures are seen through the glass
and through the reflection of the first figure
which is made to disappear by turning down the
gas jet in the wings.
This evening grand programme of new illus
ions, among the number, "The Spectre Bride"
'.The Angelus," Drifting Egyptian Water
Carrier" ''Under the Snow" John A. Meow
an in Graco Roman Statuary, and great many
others will be given. New music, songs and

To Improve the Ballot Law.

The frienes of the Australian ballot do not
propose to allow the coming legislature to
meet without an effort on their part to make
the system in spirit and letter secret, and to in
every possible way add to the law such feat
ures as will tend to make it more easy to I'M
derstand, and more effective in operation.
While many gentlemen representing almost
every section of the state will be present at
Augusta to help forward this result the argu-
ments before the proper committee will be
made by Hon. VIM. Fl. Looney of Portland, and
Hon. HerbertM. Heath of Augusta, and OH
them will fall the greater part of the work OF
pushing the amende d law through.
Mr.. Looney is in correspondence with rep
resentative men of all parties from every sec
ton of the state, and is pleased to find that
there is so general a feeling in favor OF the law.
He has yet to learn of g section of the state
where the system did not work well, or where
the people are not in favor of it. The Massa-
chusetts voting law will be asked for and Mr..
Looney has already mass of correspondence
showing that the working of the Massachusetts
system is satisfactory to the people. He is
confident that there will be no special opposi-
ton made to the amendments to be asked for
