MUSIC AND DRAMA.

The Sages.
The Sages gave their Second entertain
ment last evening at Portland theatre
and the wonderful and amusing expert
ences of Monday evening were repeated.
There is no question but that they are re-
markably skillful hypnotists. The great
audience laughted until they cried, and
held their breaths when some specially
wonderful feat was exhibited.
CpeNds gathered all day and evening
about Ira Clark's window, where the
hypnotized man lies, giving no other
signs of life than the occasional turning
from side to side Tonight he will be
ca ried to the theatre and restored to his
normal condition.
After the performance tonight, DIR.
Sage, Mrs. Sage and DR.. McDole, will
meet the medical club, composed of the
physicians of the city, and their friends,
at DR.. j. B. O'Neil's, and give proof of
their remarkable power.

Newton Beers.
The Buffalo Courier thus speaks of Mr.
Newton Beers, who will appear at City
Hall tomorrow and Friday evenings, I'M
der the auspices of LigoniaI Lodge, l.
o. O. F..
l'Mr. Newton Beers appeared at Me-
mortal Hall last evening under the aus
pices of the Shakespeare Club in his four
act comedy drama founded on Trow-
BRIDGES masterpiece, 1.-The Vagabonds. I"
In the story of the play Mr.. Beers imper-
sonated the eight different characters
sharply and clearly, both in voice and ac-
ton, and made them at all times clearly
visible to his auditor through the medium
of his flexible voice and clever pantonim
ic art. Roger, the Vagabond, James
Blake and Virgins, were very strongly
impersonated, as was Hattie, the
Judges Daughter. The play itself is in
tensely interesting as reading, but
when recited, as it was last night, by
such clever artist as Mr.. Beers, with
every line heightened by the eloquence of
oratorical genius, it was made doubly at
tractive and fascinating to the very end
Mr.. Beers bears an enviable reputation
for the excellence of his Rotations in the
West, and it is safe to predict from his
superb work last evening that he will
command the same recognition for his
recitals in the Eastern cities He has the
rare faculty of impressing his hearers
with a life-like realism. which makes
his efforts altogether delightful"
Edison's kaleidoscope with its wonder
full moving pictures will also be intro
duced. Tickets at Cressey, Jones &
Aliens.
