Mrs. LaMotte Sage. during their two
weeks visit in this city, have made many
friends by the sincerely Of their hypnotic
profession. and their delightful social
qualities. In twelve performances they
made over 1900 persons laugh longer and
more frequently then they ever laughed
before. which leaves d very pleasant recol-
lection. They gave seven private parties,
which were attended with much interest
by many Of Readings most intelligent peo-
pie. No other indoor entertainment has

Vanity Fair" is a great show and it
is drawing crowded houses at the

night was packed to the doors, and
every act and feature of the play was
loudly applauded. The company is by
far the best and cleanest of the kind
ever seen in the city, and there is not

any way suggestive. The comedy Is
rich and new, and is given in such a
way that the audience is convulsed
with laughter The specialties intro

catchy songs and rich costumes. a

Transferring Pictures.

Prints or Autographs may be trans
ferred to glass by very simple process.
The glass is cleaned with alcohol and a
polisher, then coated with fine dammar
varnish, laid on very evenly. 1t is then
put away in place where there is no
dust, where it is to remain until it is so
sticky that when touched with the finger
the glass, if small plate, may be lifted
by the adhesion. The picture to be trans
ferred must be soaked in rainwater until
it is completely saturated, then placed
between sheets Of blotting paper and
gently pressed. This removes all su-
perfiuous water. Now put the pictures,
face down, upon the sticky side of the
glass The utmost care is necessary in
placing 1t, as once it touches it cannot
be moved without danger of tearing out
pieces of the print. When it is adjusted,
begin at one corner and press the picture
closely upon the adhesive surface, watch
ing it continually to see that no air bub-
bles appear between the picture and the
vanished surface. When this is finished,
put the picture away again, let it re-
main until quite dry, then lay a wet
towel over the back Of the picture until
the paper is thoroughly soaked.
Now begin at one corner, and, with
the fingers, frequently dipped in water
80 that they will remain wet, rub off
the white paper. Continue this until all
the white portion is removed. This will
leave only the color of the picture upon
the glass. At the finish give the back a
rather heavy coat of transparent var
nish. Let it dry thoroughly and add a
very thin second coat. When this is per-
fectly dry, frame the picture with o very
thin glass over the vanished side. Hang
in the window as transparency. A
few attempts may be necessary before
expert handling is acquired, but perse-
verance will bring success, and with
care and little ingenuity very many
beautiful pictures may be prepared at
the most trifling expense.-New York

Jim Mccoy, Of this city, was
knocked out BY Billy Lambert, of
Iowa city, at Claus Groth hall, Dav-
export. last night. the fight only
lasting p minutes. Mccoy, who is
q larger mau than his antagonist,
was anxious to give Lambert . sound
thrashing, so it is claimed, and to so
regulate the fight so it would last
long enough for him to accomplish
this. He lost his head, his friends
say, and being r-confident, did
not properly guard himself against
the invasion Of his opponents dukes.
About one hundred sports saw the
mill. In McCoy's corner were Harry
Mccoy, his brother, and Tom Cox,
while Lambert was seconded by
Harry Toher, Hayes NUNS and
Mickey Morarity. John Masterson
was referee. The men did not con-
sumo any time in sizing one another
up or spsrring for IN opening. They
went after one another with earnest
ness that bordered on desperation
from the second that time was called.
Blow for blow was given and hot
and long drawn out mill was looked
for by the spectators.
Mccoy gave Lambert two singing
punches, one of them causing him
to staggsr against the ropes to
which he held until his antagonist
followed him up, whereupon he
clinched with him. This saved Lam
bert from going to the floor. The
referee called upon the men to break.
They obeyed, but had hardly got
away from one another's clutches I'm
til they were fighting as desperately
as before.
One Over the Heart.
A hot exchange of punches con-
tinued for q few seconds, when Nc.
Coy suddenly reeled forward. appar.
emily ifeless. A left hand blow over
the heart did the business, Lambert
meeting him with his right on the Jaw,
as he staggered toward him. The
referee counted 80 seconds, but Nc
Coy was not yet able to raise his
arms. and the decision was given to
Lander
The fight was for $3.50 side. Nc
