ADJUSTMENTS.

Tyndall, the hypnotist and mind
reader, had a large audience at CIunie
Opera house last evening. The first
part of the entertainment was devoted
to tests of mind reading with two
wholly new experiments. In all of
these the operator was very successful
The second part of the entertainment
was devoted to hypnotism Tyndall
had much difficulty in inducing sub
Jects to come upon the stage After
setting a few he went into the audi
forum and selected others. Two of
tfese he says he compelled to come
upon the stage, and the action of the
parties bore out his assertion. One of
ttese were George Monserratt, who had
Sunday night denounced TyndaH a
fakir, and yesterday asserted the same
and had defed anyone to operate upon
him. This coming to TyndaIl's ears, he
picked out Monserratt and compelled
MN, as he says, to ascend to the stage
where he proved either an expert in
stimulation or one of the best subjects
ever tested. Tyndan did with him Just
as he pleased, and appearances GER
tainly bore out the claim that the man
was quite as good a subject and was
simply plastic in Tyndall's hands. The
other he dismissed as not able to con-
troll. During the entertainment Tyn-
dali announced challenge to Meyer
Clark to come to the stage tonight
and permit him to try his hand on him
1t is not known that Mr.. Clark will
accept. 1t was Clark who had the diff
Guilty with Tyndall on Sunday evening
and pronounced his carriage drive a
fake. AT the entertainment tonight
Tyndall promises novelties and new
and interesting tests.
Last week a modest, prepossessing
young lady of this city, possessed of
strong dramatic tastes and equipped
with superior voice, desired to have
her reading judged, as she proposed to
go to a school of dramatic culture
Friends invited members of the press
| and Misses Dallas and Harrington and
MeSsrs. Gibney and Lonergan of the
Moulton Dramatic Company to assem-
BILE at Howe's schoolroom and hear her
They readily accepted. The group was
| not only surprised but delighted at the
| natural ability and power of the young
woman, who is a High School pupil and
we'll known. She read Cassius analysis
| of Caesars character and Juliet's po-
| ton and death scene, and was there
| stopped. The advice given that young
| lady by the dramatic artists was of the
order that the most devoted and wise
| friends would give. She was encour-
| aged and criticised, advised and eau
| toned; her faults pointed out and her
| merits applauded, and all in spirit of
frankness, justice, gentleness and low
| ing kindness that was touching Pro-
fessor Howe and the press representa-
tives We're omved by the action of the
professionals toward this young woman
| who has had no technical instruction or
dramatic training. The result of the
meeting was that Miss Alice Carmi-
| chael has been allotted a part in Shake
| speare's ''As You Like IT, to be played
| in Capitol Park Friday night by the
| Moulton Company. OF course, local in
| terest will be aroused to see how the
young student acquits herself on this
occasion. Who knows? Sacramento has
given the world Mary Anderson and
| Sybil SanderSon and a number of other
artists; it developed Edwin Booth, sent
out half score of notable musicians,
and has been the home of not few who
| have achieved distinction on the lyric
and dramatic stage. This may be an
| other case.
The members of the Moulton Dra-
matte Company, which has been play
ing at the Opera house for five weeks
| past, and is about to return to New
| York to prepare for the fall season, will
on Friday night of this week, under the
| auspices of the Sacramento Lodge Of
Elks, give Shakespeare's pastoral COM
| edy, "As You Like It." 1t will be
| played upon Capitol Park after the
manner that the same play was pro-
| duced at tradford-on-Avon by Mary
| Anderson, by New York first-class
company at Manchester by the sea,
and by an Eastern company at Sutro
| flights, San Francisco and has been
| done in numerous other parts of the
country by Modjeska, Marie VAIN
wright and others, and generally with
| complete success. A sufficient space in
