MUSIC AND DRAMA
THE ILLUSIONS TONIGHT

The Morris illusion exhibition to be
given under the auspices Of the ladies of
the WIGHT hospital opens tonight at rs
North Main street. All arrangements
are complete and a splendid exhibition is
assured. The writer was shown the au-
tomaton Psyche last night. 1t is a little
dummy figure about the size Of a 10-year-
old boy, and rests upon glass. There are
no connections of any kind. Psyche does
all sorts of unaccountable things. even
picking out numbers which the scribe had
written upon q paper while at the other
end of the room. The figure seems to be
human in its intelligence and the very
closest investigation failed to disclose its
secret. 1t is easy to agree with Prof
Morris when he declares that 1t is the
greatest thing of its kind The exhibition
room is neatly and tastefully arranged
and will accommodate a great many peo-
pie. The popular admission Of 10 cents
Will be charged. and it is safe to predict
that the attendance will be large, espe-
cially If the balance of the show Is as
good as the really wonderful Psyche.

ROSS is DEAD
BREATHS HIS LAST AT ELEVEN
O'CLOCK.
Was Not Conscious From the Time
of His Accident.

Andrew ]. Ross, the man who was
found lying on his face on the sidewalk
in an unconscious condition last Satur-
day morning at 2:3O died last night. He
never regained consciousness from the
time he was found until he died and never
talked. The cause of his death was con-
cussion of the brain. according to the
statement Of DR.. Fordyce, his physician.
There were four scalp wounds and his
skull was fractured in one place. DR.. For
dyce says that Ross was getting along
well as far as the hip wound was con-
cerned. When questioned as TO the prob
ability of the way in which Ross received
his wounds, Dr.. Fordyce said Ross had
no wounds he could not have received
by falling but his thumb was mashed and
the back of his hand bruised as though
he might be warding off a blow.
Mrs. Ross was beside her husband when
he died and had been since Saturday
evening after he was hurt. II is supposed
by the police force that Mr.. Ross fell off
the stairway of the Grand Opera house.
He leaves a wife and four children. The
body is at GiITs today.

WHAT ARE THEY FOR
Question as to the Mission of Old
Papers With Raised Date

Whenever there is something unusually
interesting that the people want 70 know
about, the haIf-baked Kansas City slow
fast mail papers have ii in-"Nit." What
would the people of Southern Kansas
and Oklahoma know today about the
Maine affair if they did not take the
Eagle? The Eagle was the only paper
west Of St. Louis or Chicago that pub
ushed a full report. What the half-baked
slow fast mail Southern Kansas and Ok

are being sent down into this country
for no one seems to be able 70 explain.

The Ha1lOWell Granite Co. has Just
commenced on the contract for the new
Boston Masonic Temple. and it is
thought that about two months work
will be required to cut and deliver the
granite. The Journal was accorded the
privilege of inspecting the drawings
and working plans of the proposed
nine stories in height. and will be cree
ted on the site of the former building
which has been raZed, to give place to
the magnificent new structure Stu
ated on the corner of fremont and
BoylStOn streets, there will be a greater
display of fine carved work, and the
building will certainly be of great ar
chitectural beauty. The main entrance
to the Masonic apartments will be on
the fremont street side, at the corner
nearest Boylston street. The entrance
will be of elaborate design, and i'm
mediately above, extending to the top
of the building, will be a series of cary
ed Masonic emblemS of large size, in
relief. The building will cost between
$3.50, 900 and 100000 The working
plans might fairly be considered a
curiosity, to those unaccuStomed to
seeing them. A systematic arrange
ment of letters and figures shows the
exact location of every piece of granite
on the plan. and no stone is too small
