THE HERRMANNS.

An unique entertainment comes TO the
Academy on Friday and Saturday in the
shape Of the eminent prestidigitateur,
Leon Hermann, aided by Adelaide Herr
mann. The principal part Of Herrmann's
entertainment consists Of rare and start
ling phenomena. His work seemingly sets
at naught all natural laws. It IS replete
with mysticism and those occult deeds
ordinarily ascribed to the redoubtable
Prince of Darkness. Yet everything is
simply done, and Hermann frankly dis
claims any supernatural agencies. Herr
mann charms you by a grace Of manner
that is bewitching. entrances by the sub
tie power which he so greatly possesses,
and mystifies and bewllders you by the
deftness and dexerity with which he exc
cutes his remarkable feats. His perform
ance is a succession Of surprises. each
succeeding one being more bewildering
than its predecessor. He doesn't Htoop
to any OF the old tricks that have for
years been the stock in trade OK the peri
patetic magician, but entertains and
amuses you with phenomena which battle
the most skilled and scientific TO explain.
Hermann. however, wonderful as he
IS does not furnish all the delight of his
entertainments. He is assisted by Ade-
laide Hermann, who has created and
made famous the dazzling spectacular fire
dances. L'Etoile de Mutt, la Dance de
Vesuivius, and lie Rayon du Soleil.
She has added n new creation to this
list, the Lily of the Orient, which IS a
most remarkable combination OF poetic
motion and color effects. eliminating in
a, thrilling representation Of n monster
lily in full bloom.

IN SUSPENSE

All appears in doubt as to the blow
ing up of the Maine. The Washington
cabinet is about agreed that it was
an accident. The sailors, who have
minds of their own and no question
of state craft to bother, say that it was
blown up by outside interference. Moth
ing from Captain Sigsbee and the other
officers is known. They are reticent at
present as to convictions as they
should be. The court martial, the ex-
animation of the wreck by divers,
must be reported before the officers of
the Maine will speak out. The action
of the Spanish government in regard
to the divers is precautionary. 1t
seeks to protect the wreck from being
interfered with until inspection is au-
thoritively made. 1t does not per-
NIT any other inspection. AS the
S%paniards are under grave suspicion
this caution seems to be proper.
Their side might be damaged by
improper reports. The only weak
point in their course, as we see it, is
asking our government to allow their
official divers alone to do the work.
This should be promptly refused. Let
both Americans and Spaniards make
the examination at the same time.
This will be lone no doubt. Captain
Sigsbee prefers this and wisely. In the
meantime the court of inquiry is pur-
| suing their examination with all care,
and gravity. 1t will be better for the
| world if the final outcome should be to
exonorate the Spaniards, but, we &C
knowledge, that to us it looks SUSPECT
Gus, and we are much inclined to be-
lieve that the work of destruction was
wrought by Spanish malice and con-
| nivance.
We notice that Rear Admiral Belk-
nap, United States navy, believes the
Maine was blown up by a torpedo.
The old confederate commander, Com
modore Montgomery, thinks it was
caused by Spanish treachery, and that
val will come out of it. Rear Admir-
| al Brown thinks it was an accident
and occurred on board ship. 1t is
dwelt upon that the Names anchorage
ground was selected by the S%paniards.
1t sank in three minutes says a witness
who saw it from the City of Washing
ton. Passengers gave clothing to, the
rescued men. When the cruiser went
to Havana it went ready to fight. The
| gun crews were ready as it was feared
that the ship would be fired on. Let
us wait for the news.

n all the worlds history, so full of

tragedies, that a man who was foully
murdered and his little band scatter !
they fleeing and deserving him,
should SO teach the truth, should SO
plant the seeds of holiness, hat from
this most u~npromising of beginnings
a religion should start that in a few
centuries had made it's way over the
civilized world, and should SO swell

long ago departed, and they are dead.
What is time with Jehovah, but eter-
nifty is everything with man. In Pauls
letter to the Philippians he shows
that even Caesars household was SO
filled with followers of Christ as to be
numerous and their piety of such a
high type he calls them saints" He
says furthermore that his labors were
greatly blessed in Rome, his coming
there in bonds resulted unto the
furtherance of the Gospel" and SO wide
was his influence for good, SO effective
was his preaching of 1.-The things which
concern Christ" that my bonds in
Christ are manifest in all the palace,
and in all the places" The grandest
man of the last eighteen hundred years
was greatly honored of God, and his
preaching was a SAVIOR Of life unto life
to probably many thousands in Rome
alone. He reached people in the high
est places while carrying the Gospel to
the poor. His epistle previously writ

Mr.. Bryan's Programme

Mr.. William j. Bryan has announced
that he will not be a candidate either
for the senate or house of repre-
sentatives. He has also issued an ad-
dress in which he sets forth the nine
issues on which the opponents of the
republican party should make their
congressional campaign this year.
They are as follows:
"First-They are ~unalterably op-
posed to gold recommendation.
"Second-They demand the immedi-
ate restoration of bimetallism at the
present ratio by the Independent ac-
ton of this country.
'tThird-They oppose the retirement
of the greenbacks.
"Fourth-They oppose the issue OF
paper money by national banks.
"Fffth-They oppose the issue Of in
terest-bearing bonds in time Of peace.
"Sixth-They favor the income tax
as a means or raising a part of the
revenue necessary to administer the
federal government.
"Seventh-They favor the abolition
of trusts.
"Eighth-They are opposed to gov
eminent by injunction.
"Ninth-They are in favor OF arbi-
tratlon as a can of settling disputes
between labor and capital.
Here are the nine issues, which are
not only important in themselves. bu,

people at the last election, but they
were not settled, and will not be set

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY.

Yon will read fippant editorials in
the great papers" in ridicule OF her
esey trials" 1t is a last years almanac
with such organs OF opinion to try a
minister for heterodoxy or for assault
ing the Scriptures of inspiration in
their very foundation. 1t is a huge
absurdity and wrong to put a minister
upon trial for IN attacks upon the
Fundamental doctrines of his church.
The widest latitude of opinion, the
preaching of the EXTREMIST vagaries Of
fancy, the utter rejection of the main
principles of the Christian religion,
the reputation Of the great doctrines
of justification by faith, the sacriicial
character of the death of christ upon
Calvary, the real nature of the atone
ment, the divinity of Jesus, His incar-
nation, his crucifiction and ascension
npon which the whole super
structure of Christianity is rear
ed may be decried, scOrned, swept
away by advanced thinkers" and dill
igent sappers and miners, the De-
structives, and yet there must be no
suspicion of fidelity to truth, no CEN
sure for wrong opinion, no hint Of a
trial for such views. Men enter the
ministery, unite with a particular de-
nomination, accept it's teachings, it's
doctrines, it's confession of faith, and
after solemnly pledging themselves to
a constant, faithful observance and
teaching of them, they willfully, wan
-tonly attack them, seek to undermine
them, to destroy them, and yet insist
upon being retained in the ministry
being allowed to administer at it's al
tars and fill it's pulpits. They have
violated decency and uprightness, and
seek to injure while swearing allegi-
ance. Men of high character and
1scrupulous honor will never remain in
a church after rejecting it's polity and
doctrines. They will get out at any
sacrifice of comfort and security. Men
fwho act otherwise deserve richly to be
tried, convicted and bounced by an
ecclesiastical court, the only body
qualified to decide in such matters.
