Magician Kellar has an illusion in
his programme this year that is posi-
tive puzzle to spiritualists and medi-
ums. He places little cabinet, FER
haps a foot and half square, upon a
sheet of plate glass, raised four feet
from the floor, in full light. In this
tinv cabinet, the size of which pre-
cludes the possibility of human assist
ance. he causes to come about all the
so-called manifestations usually seen at
a seance where a full sized cabinet, in
a darkened room, is used. He says the
ghost of an old time necromancer,
named Cagliostro, works the little cab
met, but that's little joke of Kellars.
It's trickery, pure and simple, for that
is Kellar's great stock in trade. Many
new illusions and a new basket o.
tricks in small magic will be given at
the Opera House Monday evening.
When David Belasco produced THE
Heart Of Maryland the fact began to
reveal itself that his was a master
hand in stagecraft, and his work as a
dramatist began to assume an import
ance that made it of great valve. Mr.
Belasco has followed this play with
"Zaza,'' conceded TO be the dramatic
triumph Of the century. Mr.. Charles
Frohman will present 'Zaza' for the
first time in this city at the Opera
House Tuesday evening. The company
presenting the play has been selected
and thoroughly rehearsed by Mr. Be
lasco. In fact the production will be
under the personal direction OF the au-
thor of the play. All CT the great see
mic effects that contributed so largely
to the phenomenal success of the play
in New York will be seen in this city.
At the Grand the first half of next
week will be seen one OF the most tai
ented of the younger American comedi-
ans, Mr.. Charles Cowles, who presents
strong and interesting play dealing
with life in a New England town. The
piece was specially written for Mr..
Cowles by Mckee Rankin, Esq, and
tells a pretty story Of romantic inter
est, introduces many quaint characters
and much whimsical, natural hunor.
and is enlivened by many musical fea-
lures which are strictly uD 10 date
In the character CT Ethan Baxter, the
old postmaster, Mr. CowleS has WOE
lasting fame. It is a character study
ranking with Jefferson's Rip or
Thempscn'S Joshua Witcont.

OUR COUNTY

The falling in of one end of the
county bridge across Little River
near the Asylum, and known as
the "Asylum Bridge" which &C.
Cured some time Monday, gives
additional force to the timeliness
of the recent comments of the
ARGUS as to the condition of sew.
eral of the coun'y bridges.
The Asylum bridge is one OF
the most used of any in the APP
proach to this city, and with some
few changes in the routes of the
roads beyond the river, this
bridge could be made more FREE
quented and convenient. To this
end the ARGUS believes the
Board IF County Commissioners
would Go well to replace the fallen
bridge with an iron structure,
which would at oil times be safe
and ~passable, as we'll in me Of
freshets as otherwi.e.
But in giving their immsdiaa
attenti N TO this bridge we hope
The County Commissioners vii.
not lose sight of the other bridges
crossing the river, and have then
all thoroughly inspected, aad:
where needed, substantially re-
paired, so as to obviate any lk'
and perhaps more serious catas
trophe as has b>falled the Asylum
bridge.

With the setting of Mondays
sun our Jewish fellow citizens
began the observance of the New
Year 5000 in accofdance,with the
Biblical injunction (Levit. XIII,
24.) "In the seventh month, 10
the first day of the month shall We
have a Sabbath, a memorial of
blowing the trumpet, an holy
convocation." But the day of
"holy convocation" is also the
s'day for Judgment Of the indi-
vilual.
1t is a pause in the hurry, the
fret and the fever of life to en-
able everyone to look back on the
past year, to take stock of his ac-
tions and to mark how they have
accorded with his resolutions only
twelve months ago. 1t is the. po-
etry Of Judaism that its ceremo-
mics are calculated to arrest the
most careless and unre fecting, and
to give pause for introspectior
and humble acknowledge. 1t
was a beautiful idea hat made
every "Rosh Hashannah" NEW
year(a day of audit and balancing,
and thus provide a regularly re-
curing halt on the march from
the cradle to the grave fer rest
and examination. Did he fall
short of his last years resolutions
he has now the opportunity fol
renewing them; and strengthened
by the failures and experiences
since his last halt, mayhap ht
shall come nearer realization mex
time. Did he fail altogether tt
grasp the serious significances O
the period last year, here is an.
other opportunity afforded him.
