THE CARPENTER sEANCE.
A Crowded House at the Academy
Well Entertained with Mystery.

The Academy of Music held one of the
largest audiences In its history last even
ing when Joseph J. Carpenter gave an en-
tertainment of mystery to the great salts
faction of almost everyone who beheld it.
The majority of the manifestations
were given in a cabinet, and throughout
the evening the lights were never dmmed
except for two brief periods in the last
two Efforts, and even then they were no
darker than during an ordinary thea rical
performance The cabinet work of Prof.
CARPENTER was supervised by a commit
tee Of four selected by the audience, and
each member was a well known business
or professional man of the Capital and
not assistants or cOnfederates of the me-
dunn They superintended the tying of
all manner of knots so as to prevent Car
penter from securing the use Of his hands
or feet for the execution of his numerous
tricks. Mr.. Carpenter proved that he is
undoubtedly possessed of not a little clev-
erness even if he does not possess the
mysterious psychic force. of which he
boasts. Each of the manifestations was
done quickly and without any interrupt
ton from an improper working OF the
Spirits" and at the conclusion of the en-
tertaInment the spectators were more
mystiiied than before they entered the
theatre.

and consistently.
There were 1l0 registered druggists un-

a total OF s32O.s3. OF this amount as of
all other liquor licenses, first and second
