GRIFFITH, HYPNOTIST.
Initiated Tyndall in Mad Drive and
Search for Hidden Article.

A crowd of unemployed persons, aug
mented by the street gamin, gathered in
front of Finlen & Medin's drug store on
Main street yesterday afternoon, to see
Professor Griffith, hypnotist, ETC., start
off on his demonstration of mental tele-
pathy. In the morning Professor Grit
fifth called at the city editors room OF
the Inter Mountain, and arrangements
We're made with reporter to accom-
pany him on his sensational trip to find
hidden article while he drove through
the streets blindfolded. The reporter
showed up at the proper time, but for
some reason best known to this wizard
Of psychology, when he got ready 20
start he could find no room in the wagon
for the Inter Mountain man.
Sol Levy's knife was selected as the
article to be hidden. Those invited to
take their places in the wagon, drove
around few blocks, finally secreting
the knife in some coiled rope around
telegraph pole on the corner of Broad
way and Main, close to the point OF
starting. Meanwhile, the hypnotist was
hidden somewhere by q committee, so
that he could not see the route Of the
other part of the committee in the
wagon nor receive any information as
to the whereabouts of the hidden article
Everything being all serene when the
wagon drove up in front Of the drug
store, the professor got in, made the
usual set speech, produced spool OF
copper wire, made one end into a loop
which he placed around his head and
handed the other end to one of the
wagon committee. Then he placed a
black bandage around his eyes, and with
an admonition to the committee to keep
thinking and thinking Of the route over
which they had first driven, lie started
the horses off into a breakneck speed
One of the committee, proprietor Of a
Broadway cigar store, said afterwards
that he never expected to get back alive
OF course. the knife was found. If he
failed In the discovery, the hypnotis.
might as we'll get out Of the snow busi-
ness. The performance certainly has the
merit of good advertising.
The announcement that the sleepins
boy in Finlen- Medin's window would be
awakened at Sutton's theater last night,
drew full house. Professor Griffith,
however, vainly attempted to awaken
his subject. He explained his inability
by telling the audience that the boy
had not slept the suggested number OF
hours, which was y, and would end at s
o'clock tonight.
Boys who readily take to sport Of any
kind as duck takes to water, were
easily hypnotized last night. Adults
We're not so pliable. The professor cam
didly told his audience that he could nor
use his influence against resistance. All
in all, however, the show il wolth the
| price of admission.

their positions on one side of the rails

CONSTRUCTION.

At the meeting Of the Board Of Aldermen yester-
day Alderman Wolf offered amendment to the
Building Code, revoking permission use hreproof
wood in buildings of twelve stories and $50
feet high. He said in support Of the resolution
that the acid used in preparing the wood weakened

interests OF monopoly. Alderman Bridges
serted that freproof wood endangered life instead
protecting il. Alderman Wolf argued that this
was the only city in the world that required the
use of this patented material, that 1t had been
proved worthless and that builders demanded relief
from the expressions Of the company that profted
by the law as il stands.
