IMMIGRATION MADE EASY.
Hermann Shows How Cinnamon Nigh,
Come if They Knew the Trick.

NEW YORK, October 21.-Professor
Hermann entertained a few friends at
his pretty little theatre yesterday after
noon by introducing them to his new
mystery of ''Ya-Ko-Ko, or Chinese I'm
migration Made Easy in which he
shows how feasible it is for Chinaman
to come from Pekin to America without
detection, if he only understands the
trick of he thing. which nobody who
witnessed the feat does. One side of the
Professors stage represents China and
the other New York, and on each side is
a Chinese pagoda, or large box, suspend
ed by a strong wire from heavy beam
above, and braced by guy wires leading
to the stage. There is nothing but i'm
palpable space beneath or around the
boxes, as the Professor demonstrated by
walking under and around them. A
Chinaman of pronounced facial charac-
teristics, whose identity can easily be
fixed in the mind, mounts a ladder and
enters the Pekin box, squatting, as Chi
namen do, on his legs. The door is
closed, as is that of the New York box,
and within two minutes the doors are
opened, and the Mongolian is discovered
in the same position in the New York
box, while the other is quite empty. The
illusion is made more exciting by the
visible tightening of the box from which
the Chinaman escapes, and the move
ment downward of the one in which he
appears as the change is made. ''Ya-
Ko-Ko'' is one of the deepest mysteries
ever presented by Hermann, and no.
body made any pretence of having even
a theory to explain it.

SLEEPING QUIETLY.
Better News From the Bedside of Mrs.
Harrison.

WASHINGTON, October 21.--Another
partial reaction is apparent in Mrs. Har-
rison's condition and her great vitality,
characteristic of her illness, has again
asserted itself and enabled her to rally
from the extreme prostration of last
night. This evening, her physician re-
ports her somewhat stronger with pros
poets of passing arestful and quiet night
The doctor said he did not believe there
was any danger of an unfavorable change
tonight. The wakeful and nervous con
dition of the patient last night was
brought on by extreme exhaustion. She
had considerable natural sleep today.
This, coupled with the fact that
she took her usual amount of nourish-
ment, is the cause of her improved CON
dition. Her cough is giving her much
trouble and produces periods of great
weakness.
12.50a. m.-Mrs. Harrison is sleeping
quietly. She has had slight nervous
attack from which she readily recovered.

Mr.. BLAINE DENIES 1T.
A Story that He Had Offered to Make
Three Speeches.

NEW YORK, October 21.-A story was
published here this afternoon stating
that James G. Blaine had formally
placed himself at the disposal of the Re-
publican National Committee and would
make three speeches during the cam
paign. An Associated Press reporter
saw Mr.. Blaine at 2 o'clock this after
noon and called his attention to the fore
going statement. He said it was abso-
lutely untrue and that he had not placed
himself at the disposal of the Republi-
can National Committee. 81 am doing

the effect was seen in every part of the
CITY and for miles around it. The heav-
ems were turned into a sea of fire in ev-
ery color of the rainbow. In each
park five bomb shells, sixty
inches in circumference, weighing ITO
pounds, were thrown from mortars to an
altitude of 700 feet where they exploded,
forming picture of marvellous grandeur.
The set pieces brought out great en-
thusiasm. The first occupied 1000
square feet of space, and bore the in
scription in fire Chicago welcomes the
nations of the earth, 1492-1S92." A set
piece with an area of 2500 square feet re-
presented in fire the sailing of Columbus

EXPERT AT THE NETS.
Z. L. Hall Wins the Southern Tennis
hampiOnship.

lie u. HAL wins the southern Tennis
Championship.
Mr.. E. L. Hall has for the second time won
the cup which represents the tennis champion
ship Of the south. The game was played on the
grounds Of the Bachelor Club, 18th and P
streets, Saturday afternoon, and was witnessed
by small gathering. II the fact that the
championship game was to be played had been
gener ally known no doubt many more would
have been in attendance. But the lack Of
management which was painfully evident in
this tournament from the beginning was con-
tinued, SO that practically no one knew that
one OF the leading players in the United States
would give az exhibition Of his skill
Those who were present were well rewarded,
for perhaps no finer exhibition of tennis has
ever been given in this city than the first set
afforded. Mr.. Hall was pitted against Mr.. A. E.
wright, the winner Of the all-comers tourna-
ment. Mr.. Wright has not an equal rank with
MIR: Hall. He, however, stands high as player
and at times he has played an extraordinary
game. He was in good condition on Saturday
and he started in to win.
The first set was one of the hardest played
series OF games that has ever been seen here.
The drives were almost phenomenal for swift
ness, and it was remarkable how the pace was
kept up. 1t was recognized as a killing one,
and it was seen that the result was largely one
OF endurance. Mr.. Wright won the set by the
score of GA.
The standard of playing then fell off, and it
was evident that while both players we're
pretty well winded that Mr.. Hall was maintain
ing his game better than Mr.. Wright. The
latter played into the net and outside of the
lines and made double faults in serving. On
the other hand Mr.. Hall kept up that marvel
Gus accuracy in placing which makes him one
Of the leading players in this country.
There are few players that can place ball after
ball on the side lines with the sureness that
marks Mr.. Halls play. In other particulars he
displays good head work, especially in his plac
ing the ball on one side and then on the other
of the court, making it necessary for his OPP
ponent to chase about the court in lively
style.
Mr.. Hall won the next two sets, dropped the
fourth to Mr.. Wright and made the fifth love
set The score stood follows: Hall beat
Wright 4-6, 60, go, SO. so.
The finals in the doubles were played, but
were not finished when darkness set in. The
score stood az follows: Davidson and Woodward
against the Peter brothers, GO, 30 1914, Ga.
This gave each side two sets, and the fifth and
decisive set stood AZ in favor of the Peter
brothers when the play ceased. This match
will be finished probably tomorrow. Wood
ward is also to play W. G. Mcpherson in the
final consolation.
