cartoon representing the United States as

question, swili the tail wag the dog or the

It is a tissue of dastardly falsehood
conveyed by suggestion.
The golden tail is made up of these
States: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,

Here are some of the f~alsehoods:-

made to appear absurdly small in pro-
portion to the rest OF the country-much
smaller than they are in reality.
2 The fact that not mere extent of
territory but population is the test of
political influence is totally ignored.
3. The suggestion that these States
alone could 'wag the dog" that is to
say, control n coming election, is an inn
pudent lie. The States have only
ISL electoral votes ana it takes 224 to elect
a President.
This may seem an unimportant thing.
It is not. 1t shows the manner in which

Hermann and Mime. Hermann al
the Academy of Music.


The great popularity of Hermann the
Magician and his wonderful feats, and
of Nine. Adelaide Hermann and her even
more wonderful dances, was fully attested
last evening by the crowd that gathered
to witness their opening performance at
che Academy of Music. The house was
filed from the stage to the roof and
the welcome given the noted entertainers
was of the heartiest sort.
Hermann himself, it is needless to say,
has lost none of his old time faculty for
bewildering. He mystifed the audience
in a thousand ways, completely vindicat-
ing his claim to the annex which he has
modestly tackled to his name. But if
Hermann is great in his line, Nine. Herr
mann is superb in hers, and in their joint
performance, as it is now arranged, she
comes very near carrying off the lions
share of the honors. There is no dancer
on the stage who is more beautiful in
figure or more 1.-the and graceful in mo-
ton. Her dances seem fual weird or
poetic meaning. and in the arrangement
of light effects there is nothing compar-
able.
Mime. Herrmann's dances are four in
number; "Letoile de mutt or Evening
Star; L danse de Yesuvius''; lie
rayon du ~soleil." or Sunbeam, and the
LII VI III AK AiO2t IL LILLE
and novel is the Vesuvius dance in which
the dancer seems to hover in the midst
of flames which leap and Irvine about her
marvellous draperies, while she alternately
excites and depresses them by the waving
of a gossamer scarf. The effect of this
movement is as thrilling as it is beauti-
full. 1t is a triumph of rythmical move
ment, of poeticized color combinations
and of weird and beautiful suggestion.
AT the close of the dances Nine. Herr
mann had thrown upon her draperies
from the spectroscope portraits of Bryan
two was significant. Bryan's picture
elected a noisy shout from a small part
of the audience. That of Mckinley was
greeted by a general burst of applause
which was prolonged for half a minute.
It would be an endless task to enumer-
ate all the clever sleight of hand per-
formances to which the Great man himself
treated his audience from the moment
when he made his gloves vanish into
the air to the p~uZzling crisis when he
extricates a blonde young lady from a
tightly tied up sack placed in a trunk,
in fun presence Of the audience, and sub
stitutes for her a charming brunette,
without anyone being able to tell how
it was done. This is the Illusion which
created quite a sensation during Herr
mann's week at the Academy last year,
and it is as inexplicable and as well worth
witnessing as ever. Tonight, it is an
nounced, Hermann will render this act
still more wonderful by taking from a
yalise in the possession of one of the
audience the identical young lady whom

sack and locked up in the trunk in the
