A MARVELLOUS
EXHIBITION
PROFESSOR AEEEX. THE MIND READER
ANE HYfNOTIST
Surprises a Large Audieaee at Fishers
Opera house-The Nan Asleep
in the kindOk Ta

large and discriminating audience
gathered at Fishers Opera House last
night to hear Professor McEwen, the
Scotch hypnotist. lecture. His DEM
onstrations in mind-reading and hypno-
sis We're simply marvellous,
Among the committee chosen from the
audience to go upon the Stage and inves-
tigate Were DR. BlrteH Mr.. Thorsen. J..
W. Conn, d, Henderson. Otto Heilborn.
ana H. B, vidahn. One and all declared
that there was no trickery in the per-
Torrance, but some unknown power was
exerted. In mind-reasiing. every test
proved successful. and the tests were
most difficult. For instance. one gentle
man was told to think of another person
in the audience and make a picture in his
mind. The professor described the pic
ture and went down and picked out the
lady thought of. A word in book on
a certain page was picked out by stick
ing pin in it by Mr. McEwen, while
he held the hand of the person who Sc
lected the word.
The demonstrations In hyprOtism were
not only wonderful and instructive but
were very amusing, and kept the audi
ence in an uproar Of laughter at the
funny antics Of the subjects. Finally a
young man was put to sleep on the stage
and removed on a cot to the window Of
Rogers drug store where he is still sleep
ing. To prove to a skeptlcal night editor
that the man was actually sleeping, the
professor went into the store and ran
a needle through the mans cheek. The
sleeper never stirred Or moved muscle
of his face, nor did any blood appear.
In the office of the Astorian, before a
dozen witnesses. including DR.. Barteli,
Professor McEwen did number Of
strange feats IN mlnd-readng, which
can only be accounted for on scientific
grounds.
If there are any disbeliever in the art
of hypnotism, let them go to the enter
tainment tonight and apply the severest
tests they can think of. DR.. Barten. one
of the committee last night says that
there was absolutely no trickery, burt on
the other hand a demonstration of sci
ence was given. which he could not ac-
count for. Every one knows DR.. BartelPs
Certainly some power was
exercised which is not thoroughly under
stood by the ordinary mortal.

FOOTBALL GAME
IS SUSTAINED
PRESIDENT ELLIOTT OF HARVARD IS
IN IT'S FAVOR.
Does Not Believe in legislation Against 1t
Any More Than Against
Rowing.

Boston. Nov. 22-President Elliot OF
Harvard makes the following statement
over his signature:
The ground on which arguments are
based for the legal prohibition Of inter-
collegiate football do not seem sufficient
in my mind to warrant favor. under
stand that hill has been passed in the
Georgia Legislature making the playing
OF football crime simply on the ground
that sometimes fatal accidents are likely
10 occur IN hard fought contests. The
cause Of the hin wos believe the death
Of a football player who was injured IN
the game between the Georgia university
and the University Of Virginia. But II
we stop to consider other sports We find
that there are every year serious acoi-
dents in baseball, boxing fencing and
other gymnasium games. Rowing and
sailing are enoyabjc pastmes, vet one
reads Of many drownings every year.
This does not seem to lessen interest
in rowing or sailing
Everybody cannot play football. II is
only the strong and well buirt men who
can expect to play the game with sue
cess. Therefore, l do not favor football
for everyone, 1t is OF course a valuable
exercise to those who, rs l say are able
to play it, So | think football should
not be prohibited without just cause. Il
have never heard of any state or city
ordinance prohibiting the playing of the
game before the hill in Georgia was
passed, and l repeat, 1.-THE grounds on
which the passage of the bill was ef-
fected ara not sufficient to attract my
favor"
