there is no more powerful or popular
preacher in England today than Dean
Hole" He is a remarkable man in every
way. Even physically, he is conspicuous
anong men; bread sEoUldcred, deep chest
ed and six feet three end three-Quarter
inches in his stockings. He is humorist
as well as a clergyman, aid the result OF
the combination is as delightful as 1t is rare.
Mr. Archibald Forbes OF the London Times
says: Dean Hole Is perhaps the wittiest
and brightest speaker in this country

him reception on his arrival in the city,

At Metzerott Hal-Prof Samri s. and
Mrs. Baldwin, the White Mahatmas and
their company of entertainers, who have
| travelled four times around the world, will
begin weeks engagement at MetZerott
Hall next Monday, including a matinee on
Thanksgiving afternoon. For the past two
years the Baldwns have created a per-
feet furore in Great Britain, and their
| manager Mr.. j. NJ. Hickey, shows pro-
grams of their performances before the
Prince of Wales and royal family at San
drinSham palace and Marlborough. Pre-
vious to their English tour they spent sew
eral years IN the orient investigating the
wonders of the Thibetean priests, and
Prof. Baldwin finally astounded even these
wondrous people by his peculiar and weird
manifestations. 1t is limited that he Is
firm believer in splritualism, and knows
great deal about theosophy and kindred
entertainment for his work" and leaves
the auditors to form their own impress
sions regarding the means used. The great
attraction, however, is Mrs. Baldwin's
somnomancy or clairvoyant trance vision.
1t completely upscts all existing theories
Of telepathy and firmly establishes the
fact of mental transmission. The results
she obtains are simply marvellous.
