The programme offered by Herr
mann the present season contains
many novelties besides several new.
and very attractive illusions. Herr
mann Is the most remarkable expert
of legerdemain ever seen upon the
stage. OF the new illusions intro
duced, THE Princess Mahomeda" is
probably the most mystifying. Herr
mann introduces young lady whom
he hypnotizes. places on a brilliantly
lighted couch and then causes her
to slowly rise into space. To show
his audience she has no wire or other
support he passes a large hoop over
her -everal times and then slowly
descends her to the stage again. 1t
is a most mystifying illusion and
battles analysis. A Chinese mystery
called Voyage instantaneous" is al
so a large. snowy and very attractive
Illusion, which creates much talk and
thoroughly mystifies. Hermann is
accompanied by the musical Cool
mans, whose Interpolation of musical
numbers on numerous instruments
adds materially to the performance.

St. Louis. May G.-Windstorms which swept over St. Louis sunday afternoon left q trail of oYerthrown signs, damaged roofs and shattered windows.

 Telegraph and telephone wires were blown down in places, and the windows were broken by the hail and wind in the Bell Telephone exchange, crippling the service for short time. Citizens reported seeing a funnel shaped cloud high in air during the second storm. Dr. Hyatt, weather forecaster, did not see this.and states that the storm was q straight blow. such as is likely to occur at this sea son of the year.
 Residents of the southern section of the city suffered the worst scare, fearing a repetition of the 1896 cy- clone. Many took refuse i'll cellars as a preeaution.
 The force of the wind probably was greatest in the downtown dis trict, where show windows and valu- able overhanging signs were much damaged.
 A eerniee was blown from the United Hebrew church. The four courts was damaged $500 Windows were broken in several department stores.
