The main subject Of conversation on
the streets, in offices, stores and homes,
yesterday, was tho wonderful and
unexplainable exhibition Of tslepathy or
mind telegraphy given by Professor and
Mrs Baldwin In the Opera House on the
preceding evening, and as conse quence
the house, last evening was filled with
one Of the largest audiences of the year
1t was 8 representative audience too, and
comprised some Of Wilmington's leading
business and professional men, and best
known families. The reading and
answering Of questions by Mrs. Baldwin,
which is by far the most interesting part
of the performance lacked a certain
amount Of interest especially to
those who had come prepared to
witness q repetition Of the start
ling scenes Of Monday evening
and this fact WAS explained by Professor
Baldwin, who stated that at no time
during several years had his wife parti
clpated IN a seauce Of such an exciting
nature and that 1t had left her com
pletely used up As in the telephone
there are times when the connection
between instruments is not altogether
satisfactory, so there were times when
the liues of mental telegrsphy did not
render the best of service. The exhi-
bition was highly satisfactory. however,
and, especially to those whose queries
were answered, was as much Of a mys
terry as it was to the subjects .of the
preceding night.
The entertsinmentlwhic acts as frame
work for the mysticisms OF the great
Mahatmas was well received, and the
manner IN which the audience applauded
showed that it was highly acceptable

Dude. was very neat, and received do
served and hearty applause. He Is q
graduate of DsWolf Hopper and has an
enviable reputation in tine histrlonie
world. In the one-sct parlor farce, he
played the role Of the plotting lover well,
as did Miss Adelaide Alexander, who, by
the way starred last season In a society
comedy of her own and whose stage
name, If repeated here. would be readily
recognized by Wilmington plRygoers
The mandolin playing was simply superb
and far in advance of any ever heard in
this city. Senior Lopez certainly has a
Just right to his claim OF being the
greatest mandolinistin in the world
The committee, which supsrlntendsd
the cabinet scene, and tied the professor
In his chair, was composed OF Dr. H
Hoeg elsberger, John d Kelly, w Al
Galiaher, Charles Winters and Daniel
Buoenzer, and their efforts to confne the
elusive professor were as unsuccessful as
their predecessors Professor Bald win
viii show the way IN which he performs
this cabinet trick at the Saturday even
iBg's entertainment.
Nearly every one in the large audience
wrote questions Some Of them got an
idea that when the question WAS written
on the paper and tablet furnished, 1t was
by aome means transferred to the
cardboard and then read by the professor
or his assistant This was exploded by
Professor Baldwin allowing the tablets
to remain in the hands Of the questloner
until after the answer had besn given by
Mrs Baldwin.
None Of thu questions were of a start
ling or very interesting character except
ing to those WIN asked them, but they
clearly demonstrated that Mrs Baldwin
had the faculty OF reading those questins
