ALLEGED TO HAVE BOUGHT A WOMAN
Witness Against Her Alleged

Some weeks ago an item appeared In
the Houston and Galveston papers relative
10 the selling OF woman at auction In
Galveston saloon. The story was so far
out of the ordinary that not great deal
of credence was placed in 1t, but recent
developments IN the case here have
brought to light one OF the most remark
able as well as one Of the most revolving
crimes known to the criminal category, II

This ingenious production is the idea OF
Russian engineer, and a French archl-
tect is responsible for the building itself,
while British capital has made its cree
ton possible. Needless to say. an in
genious arrangement Of mirrors is re-
sponsible for an illusion which for elab-
crate detail easily transcends anything
previously attempted in the same line.
Another feature of the exhibition will
be the "Mareorama." 1t differs from the
ordinary cyclorama chiefly in the fact that
the spectators instead of standing on a
circular platform. find themselves on a
genuine vessel and experience most OF
the sensations of being at sea. Immense
canvasses unroll slowly. steadily and
noiselessly before their eyes, and the rise
and fall of the boat together with the
shifting scenes, complete the illusion that
one is really on board a steamer, cruis-
ing in front of some of the we'll known
seaport cities of the Mediterranean.
