ALEXANDER NOT BLUFfE
The IconocIastic Gentleman Promises
to Duplicate or Explain
And Failing In This Will Forfeit to the
Cause OF Cherity Good Coin OF
the Republic

| Editor Herald: Will you kindly allow
me enough of your valuable space to re-
ply to the communication Of w. w. Tat
UNI, which appeared in this mornings s
issue?
Not having the pleasure Of the gentle
mans acquaintance, l infer from the
tone of his letter that he is Spiritualist.
If he is in communion with spirits, why
did not they point out to him the notice
of my performance in yesterdays Her
aid, which he failed to find? Why did he
not get out his little slate and have the
spirits write the location down for him?
He characterized my performance as
disgusting, and yet the Times considered
it of sufficient merit to notice it with al
most columns space, saying among
other things: Alexander went rapidly
on turning mind reading and necro-
NANCY wrong side out.
Alexander gave some capital demon
strations of legerdemain, in which art
he easily proved himself a master "
There seems to be difference of opin-
ion as to what constitutes disgusting
performance. Let me suggest to Mr..
Tatum that the disgusting" part of the
performance came from before the foot
lights, not from the stage, and the boots
and Kisses from the So-called Spiritual
lists with which 1 was greeted was the
best testimony that my shafts were 60
ing home. Now, Mr.. Tatum, spirits are
in better business than coming to earth
at the bidding of so-called mediums, and
it has always been a matter of surprise
to me that so many people can be gulled
by any such representations, but l pre-
sumo Barnum's old saying, The public
like to be humbugged,' is as true today
as ever it was.
Now, l am going to give you and the
other members of your peculiar calling
just one more chance. I have secured
the Burbank tlNater for next Thursday
night, June 25th, and invite your friends
and yourself to be on hand. For every
manifestation you give that fail to re-
produce or explain l will forfeit $40 to
any charity you may mention, the news
boys home preferred. You have every
thing to gain in this, as l ask no forfeit
from you and assume all expenses of the
theater. though warn you now that you
and your friends may rely on me to not
only expose all the tricks of your trade
but will show you few that you will
find hard to duplicate. await your re-
ply. Sincerely, T. c. ALEXANDER.

Pupils Exhibit Their Power of Eiocution and
Then Eajov Dane.
There was very interesting recital at
Kramers hall last night when the junior
pupils of the local Cumnock school of
oratory gave proof of their devotion to
their studies. The Cumnock school Is Of
especial advantage in training pupils
to use their own intelligence in the in
depreciation of the works they study,
and the renderings last night bespoke a
very distinct individuality. The pupils
who recited last night have only been
studying year and besides the very
useful and graceful accomplishment of
correct elocution, several of the young
reciters showed such promise that their
studies will not only result in pleasure
to themselves but be of profit to their
friends and probably to the public.
The hall was crowded with friends and
admirers of the fair pupils. The program
was as follows:

comb Riley-E. Maud Murphy.

NO TRACE OF WILKINSON.
Was Last Seen in Bridgeport Early Fridn.

Was Last Seen in Bridgeport Early Friday
Evening.
No trace Of Howard Wilkinson, who
disappeared so mysteriously Friday
night, has been learned by his rela-
tives and friends, and his continued abb
sence has proved a source of no little
anxiety. Absolutely nothing can be
learned of his whereabouts after 1870
o'clock Friday night. He was traced to
Bridgeport, where he went on an cleo
trio car, alighting after passing the toll
gate. A photograph of Mr. Wilkinson
was shown to the toll collector and he
at once recognized it as that of the man
who got off the car.
Mr.. Wilkinson might have taken a
car Immediately for Martins Ferry,
and thereby caught the Wheeling and
Lake Erie train which leaves Wheeling
at 100, or he might have taken a c. q
p. train at any one of the towns on the
Ohio side of the river. The conductor
on the II 40 train is certain that he was
not a passenger. 1t is possible, but
hardly probable, that he remained over
night in Bellaire Bridgeport, or Mar
tins Ferry, and took train Saturday
morning

JAMES O'NEILL.

Mr.. O'Ne.ll has found a successor 10
Monte Cristo. Although this announce
ment at The first glance may seem TOO
sweeping, yet cae management claims
it to be rue, basing the 5rtion on the
fact that crowded houses and enthus-
ias-.c audiences have greeted Mr.
ONeill wherever he mas presented his
new success, called THE Lesurques
Case, or the Courier of Lyons" AS
may be judged from the name of the
play, 1t is of French origin. 1t Is built
over an actual criminal case which
pended in the counts Of Lyons France
in the year 1896. Lesurques, the young
hero Of the drama. bears thu resam-
blance to a noted murderous outlaw
called DubOsc, and the resemblance is
so striking that the unfortunate Lesur-
ques is accused of having robbed the
1 mail and killed the position, although
Dubosc was the true culprit The com
pany selected to support Mr.. O'Neill

SHOT In THE HIP.

George Hazlett, a ffteen-year-old
boy who lives on West street, and is
employed as assistant mail clerk at the
Register Office, met with a painful ac-
cident about 1890 o'clock yesterday
morning. In company with Ed Fitz-
simmons, boy about the same age, he
walked TWO or three miles above the
ciJy, and the boys amused themselves
shooting at birds with a rife About
the time mentioned Fitzsimmons shot.
and the bullet struck the railroad track

right hip.
The young man was brought down to
his home and e physician summoned.

and extracted it from his side. The
wound is not dangerous, but is very
painful. and viii confne him to the

wiser than he knew. Protection
teaches that there is a God in Heaven;
that by cur lives and examples we
may impress upon society the fact that
next TO the love we owe TO God, is the
love we owe TO country; it teaches so
briefly and truth, justice and morallty,
love of God, love of each other, love OF
home and country; il teaches toleralon
OF the opinions Of others, religious, po-
litical, or otherwise. and ii insists upon
the sanctity of the home as the bulwark
or our civiliZation-these are what we
add to the paying out OF money. When
we consider the prayers Of countless
thousands which ascend from the
hearts Of widows and orphans, to the
throne Of Heaven, may we not eXclaim:
"Oh, grave, where is thy victory. Oh,
Death, where is thy sting"
After another selection by the Ca
thedral choir, the last address was made
by Hon. Samuel A. Kepner His sub
jet was Our Departed Brothers"
MR. KEPNER'S ADDRESS.
Mr.. kepner said the addresses and
music appeared to fl the measure of
the occasion, and the exercises might
well end, but he had been allotted the
task Of saying a few words on the sub
Ject OF Cur Departed Brothers" Their
graves are approached with subdued
hearts and sOftened affection. The
love that survives the tomb is one of
the nOblest attributes of the soul. They
were bound by a tie which neither alb
sence nor death can sever Around the
altar Of the order they took the obliga-
tons, and together learned the lessons
taught in the lodge room: labOred to
advance the interests of the order, and
labored to beat back the cold waves Of
poverty and distress from many a
home. The brothers who have taken
their places in the silent halls Of
death were all men well and favOrably
known in the community. good citizens,
kind and loving fathers, upright men
They forgot themselves and saw the
needs Of others, acuatod by the Gcd-
like sentiment which recognizes in
every man brother. They are dead
but their example lives.
cold in dust the perisncd heart may
lie.
But that which warmed it once can
never die"
Our departed brothers contributed
their mite to the alienation of human
suffering Among the Israelites, he
was considered blessed who. in passing
through the desert, made a well Of
water for the weary pilgrims. There
are many deserts, and many pilgrims,
in this fair land which God has so
blessed with his bounty. There are to-
day men, women and children, hungry
and thirsty for sympathy and kindness.
Those whose names are on the death
roll did something for the alienation
of human suffering. Peace to their
ashes; honor TO their memories.
In every act Of Providence there is a
lesson, and one and a great lesson
taught by the memorial exercises. is the
uncertainty of life. and the certainty Of
death. The other lesson is the i'm
portance of earnest, active work while
il is our privilege to live.
The closing ode was sung. when Mr..
KeDner finished and benediction was
pronounced by the Rev. DR.. Buckley.
