his marvellous entertainments at Willard
Hall. He is greeted each evening by
crowded houses, and seats are at a pre-
MUM long before his appearance on the
stage. The professor begins by a brief and
well-defned discourse on the subject Of
hypnotism, after which he calls for volun-
teers, and each evening number of local
ladies and gentlemen respond after Whlcn
the most responsive are invited on tn.
stage for practical experiments. One OF
the scenes witnessed during the week, the
ballet dance, in which all the subjects
indulged, was OF the most mffth-pro-
voking quality. But the gem feature of
| the week was the swell drum major and
I his imaginary band. The impressing of a
young man with the idea that he was Billie

gentlemen in speeches as temperance ora
