WONDERFUL WORK
Promised by.The Boy Phenom-
 enon at the Opera House.
Many Pathetic Scenes Attend His Charitable Cures Upon the
 Public Stage.

The citizeIs of Phenixwill have an opportunity tonight of witnessing the public demonstration by the Boy Phe- nomeron, showing the marvellous powers of animal magnetism, of which he is the greatest exponent in the coun- try.
 The press and pulpit of San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities have de- voted columns, euologizing his grand work, and from the pulpits of the churches the ministry have proclaimed that ''his power must be gift from Divinity itself"
 Tonight will be the only opportunity afforded the public of witnessing the healing of the sick by laying on of hands. If the Boy Wonder possesses one-half the power that his advertise ments claim for him, he will be tend cred all ovation by the press and public of this city, that will rebound to his credit greatly.
 The Examiner of San Francisco, in a report of recent demonstration in that city, says:
 "The latest instance of a marvellous
 
 cases, was that Miss Sadie Flynn of 29S Aurora street, handsome young lady of 19 years, whose family is we'll and favorabiy known to many citizens of California. Miss Flynn, as every one in her neighborhood knows, has been hopeless cripple seven years with in fammatorv rheumatism and ancholosis of both knee joints, never having taken step in that time without the aid of both crutches. Her case had been examined by the most eminent scientific men in the country, all of whom pronounced her in cura ble. Her friends endeavored to dissuade her from going upon the stage, but she insisted as last resort to be humored in her desires, which were granted, and she was assisted to the stage by two attendants. The Boy Phenomenon gently stroked the affected limbs few moments and then con- manded her to walk. She replied that it would be impossible, but on again assuring her she was cured she made the attempt. Surprise, joy and gratl- tude was pictured on every line of her features as she walked across the stage and realized for the first time in seven years she was able to walk without assistance.
 A Amo pathetic and affecting scene then occurred. that will never be for gotton by the vast audience present. Strong men-doctors and lawyers, un- used to tears, wept like children. There was hardly dry eye in the house as -.----4a~---a-aS-7F GiIc sr0po and up the aisle alone, exclaiming as she clasped her hands in prayer supplication, with eyes turned Heavenward, "Oh my God, is it possible I can walk ?" Probably the most affecting part of this impressive scene took place as she reached the seat where her old mother sat. when she burst into tears of gladness, and throwing her arms about the dear old face of that gray-haired. loving mother, who had patiently nursed her suffering child so many years, cried out, "Oh, mother! can it really be true Is it pos- siblee ? Is it possible ?' The scene that followed of mother and daughter cling ing to each other while tears of joy un- speakable mingled with their praises and prayers to God and thls Boy, is too sacred to even attempt description.
