Hyperion.


 Jewett, the magician, and little Ruby, the charming child dancer, gave a most pleasing entertainment at this theater last evening under the auspices of Ad- miral Foote post, No. 17, G. A. R, There was a small but appreciative audience present, and the feats of magic wonder executed by Mr Jewett showed remark able skill and ability. His slight of hand performance was excellent, and excited the admiration and wonder of all who saw 1t. After this he first per formed and then explained the famous spiritualistic slate-wrlting test. In the explanation it appears that what is finally seen written on the slate is writ ten on before the performance begins, and is concealed by a small piece of slate slipped in over. By skillful manip- ulation this is slipped off at the right moment in such way that the specta- tor cannot see 1t. and thus leaves ex- posed to the startled view of the be- holder a message purporting to be from a spirit in the other world. He also gives Anna Eva Fay's spirit cab inet trick. He is firmly bound inside the cabinet by a committee from the au- dience Yet he plays on tambourine and rings bells in spite of his being bound, and at length frees himself en- tirely.
 As finale he goes through with Her mann's great shooting act. A firing squad fired four marked bullets at him, which he caught in his fingers.
 The bright and exquisitely beautiful dancing Little Ruby. with which the program was liberally interspersed, was especially entertaining to all who saw her, and she won for herself hearty applause.
