ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera-house this even
ing for the last time in the present pro-
gramme the Faust Vaudeville Company
with the Swiss bell ringing, the fancy
dancing, the fine exhibition of athelet-
les, the mandolin soloist, the knock
about team, the humorous musical
numbers and the new and excellent Sc
ries of pictures of the animatoscope.
At Turner Hall Thursday night next,
DR.. De Forrest will make an expose
of spiritualism as practiced by public
mediums aud performers. 1t is repre-
sented that DR.. De Forrest is an Eng
lish physician; that some years ago
he came to this country to reside;
that his wife became infatuated with
spiritualistic doctrines and was led by
public mediums to embrace their faith
The doctor was convinced that she was
deceived, but could not restrain her
and the result was that she left her
home and children. Thereupon the
doctor set out in revenge" to investi-
gate, and in time found out how the
public mediums perform their feats. He
then resolved to expose them. This he
will do, he says, in his meeting Thurs
day night in the course of a lecture he
delivers against spiritualism- He
claims to expose the tricks of Anna Eva
Fay, and all the leading cabinet work.
ers, slate writer's, mind readers and
readers of sealed envelopes, including
Bishop, the Davenports, Tyndall, the
thought reader, Samri Baldwin and the
other leaders. These, he says, he will
expose, showing just how they deceive,

in cabinet work, mesmerism. somno-
lency, mind reading, thought transfer
ence, rappings, naturalization, etc.
The Seattle Times" gives an inter-
esting account of one of his meetings in
that city, in which he met in challenge
several spiritual mediums. The Times
says: Probably the only people in
the audience not satisfied We're those
who paid their money to be humbugged
and We're disappointed because they
were not" The Observation-Disclosures" of
the same city said: In all exposes he
was successful. If he did not succeed
in overthrowing the beliefs of spiritual
lists present, he did brace up a disbelief
in the same on the part of those who
went to the theater expecting to see
the curtain torn away from fraud"

merry Department. Can you guess
the reason why? Our styles and

Mems and Women's Theater Hats.

Even the worm will turn. The ques-
ton of womens hats at theaters has en-
tered upon an acute phase. During the
performance of Madame Putiphar," at
the Athenee ComiQue, a gentleman
seated in the orchestra stalls coolly re-
tained his headgear, and, when protests
and cries were raised around him, he
took no notice of them. An official hav-
ing walked up to him with a polite re-
monstrance, he quietly pointed to two
ladies seated in front of him with hats
much higher than his own and remarked

raconteur. One of his stories Is worth
repeating. "It was during Cleveland's
first Administration" says he. "The
hOrsecars had just been replaced by
systems of trolleys and cable-cars. A
Texan wrote to the Representative In
Congress from. his district asking
about the market for horses. The con-
stituent said the street-car companies
should need horses, which were being
killed and fed to the hogs In Texas.
they were so cheap. There Is no mar
ket for horses in Washington wrote
back the Congressman. 'Horse-cars
have just been replaced by trolleys and
cable-cars. The trolleys are run by
electricity, the cable-cars by steam,
and the government is being run by a
jackass. There is no market here for

A Convict Built Prison.

$I5o,ooo for penitentiary at Fort
Lavenworth, Kansas. l. will be
splendid modern structure, near the
site Of the old prison, and the plan of
utilizing the FIVE hundred convicts
there to build it is to be carried out.
1t is expected that the new building
will represent an outlay OF three times
the appropriation. The land of course
is free, being a government reserva-
tion, set apart in 1927. 1t has inhausti-
BILE quarters of fine building stone, an
abundance of lime and the finest clay
for making brick. The convicts are
going to quarry and dress the stone,
make the bricks, burn the lime and
prepare the structural material in the
prison shops. When the building IS
completed 1t will represent all the
newest and best ideas in that class Of
architecture. There will be dozen
rooms devoted to night schools for
the men, a frst-class gymnasium,
baths and the like, to be used by those
who merit good treatment The
warden of the Fort Leavenworth state
prison, Captain John w. French,
speaking of the convicts, said:
"The majority of the men sent to
us come from Arkansas, Texas and
the Indian Territory. Criminals from
this section are usually of the frontier
type, and, as rule, are easier to re.
clam than those who have been raised
in the oder and more settled COM
munities. The lax standards Of border
settlements are often the cause OF
morals obloquy, but, as general
thing, the border man who becomes
a convict is reader to listen 20 appeals
