No Attendance,

For some reason there were only
q few persons present last evening
to witness the performance of Mile
Alberti, the lady hypnotist, at the
Gross opera house. After waiting
until about9 o'clock, her manager
announced that there would be no
performance and that all those
having tickets would be entitled to
admission this evening. After con-
sidering the matter, Mile ,Alberti's
manager concluded that he would
not give a performance here this
evening for the reason that large
percentage of those who patronize
such entertainments were at the
state fair. It is also quite evident
that one McEwen hoodooed all the
other hypnotists so far as the city is
Mile Alberti is said to
give a strictly first-class exhibition
in hypnotism, and it is regretted
that she did not receive sufficient
to enable her to give her
