RULING AGAINST A HYPNOTIST.
Atlanta Oct. 5.-If the ruling of Judge
Fout, of Atlanta, holds good hypnotists
will have to be very careful what they or
der their subjects to do. The Judge holds
that the hypnotist is directly responsible
for the acts of his subjects. During a
performance at local theatre the sub
ject of hypnotist imagined that he was
n monkey. He grabbed a hat from man
in the audience and bit piece out of it.

and the hypnotist was prosecuted before
Judge Font on the charge of malicious
mischief. The judge sustained the charge
and bound the hypnotist over to higher
court.

ular little comic opera star, will make
her appearance in this city at the head of
her own opera company in her successful
opera, 1.-The Little Trooper" which bub-

The story of 1.-THE play gives plenty of
opportunity for ludicrous situations, and
Mr. Green, who adapted it from the
French, took advantage of them.
1.-The Little Trooper" is a clever com
edy, particularly to be commended for it's
Cleanliness. The music is bright and
catchy. There are many pretty numbers,
especially the song sungs by Charlotte,
and the jolly, rollicking chorus at the

tedious minute in the play, and the
music is we'll suited to the moods of
varying humor

Thursday afternoon, at short intervals,
was heard peculiar noise, similar to the
cry of a peacock and yet resembling the
utterances of guinea fowl.
Some said that the noise must have
been made by four-legged animal, but
all seemed TO agree, as evening drew on,
and the noise continued, that.the an!-
NAL must have escaped from the Fair
grounds.
Timidity tenanted the minds OF the
gentler sex and dreams Of goblins dis
turbed the slum bers OF many.
Friday the noise was repeated--seeming
TO come from various directions.At night,
when the story was told the men a num-
ber of the sturdy sex set out in quest of
the maker of the peculiar noise.
When close to the park the cry seemed
TO come from inside; when away from
the park 1t seemed to come from the OUT
side.
Two OF the party went inside the Fair
grounds to investigate. The noise was
heard and after little wande ring the
two men, in open-mouthed wonder,
stopped in front OF the engine that ran
the flying horses. They had to believe it
there 1t was, the whistle upon the engine.
They returned and reported to their
neighbors, and now each one says: 81
