certainly little respect for the professional

ing as author He had also q high opinion OF
the archduke as a commander in the field and
considered his campaign against JOurdain and

the most dangerous and difficult to deal with:
Of SOult as the best strategist- but as very de-
fective and irresOlute in actual collision"
Other "reminiscences Of ElIesnere show the
Iron Duke in moods less severe than those in
which he is generally mentioned We find him
so bent on seeing Fanny Kemble IN The
Hunchback that he leaves the scene OF a din

appear at the Opera House next Monday

to need much by way of commentator
to theatregoers of this city, but word
about his new illusions, which, as
given in former years, We're admittedly
the most perpleXing and mystifylnS eX-
amples of the necromancer's art ever
offered here. He has made life study
of Oriental occultism, and this season
advances still further into that weird
field He disdains the use of darkened
stages, and will not use covers. cur
tains, screens. traps. wires or other
similar subterfuges resorted to by anna
teurs and performers of questionable
degree. OF course. the result he OBJ
tains Is brought about by purely ma
tural and mechanical means, but how
he applies the means to the end is KEEL
lars secret
Apparently, he has command of the
forces of nature, and if he directs the
law of gravity to step aside. he is SEEM
ingly obeyed; for example, inanimate
articles of weight. as well as human
beings. remain suspended in the air
where his magic touch has placed them.
the reincarnation of human beings, the
projection of astral bodies, the following
of the adopts of India. self deca pitation;
the growing of Il rose tree, etc, are
examples of the type of illusions kelar
is presenting this season. A budget of
new experiments in small magic will
precede the great illusions at each per-
formance.s

Gold-Dusted Sydney.

Gold is to be found in most things,
as we know now-even in sea water
but some experiments recently made
in Sydney under the auspices of the
local Royal Society yielded curious
results in this connection. Dust col
lected from the roof of the Sydney
Observatory was found to contain co.
bait, nickel and gold, while at the uni.
versity buildings-a couple of miles
further away from the sea-gold was
also discovered in the dust. The Oh.
servatory is within stones throw OF

around it, and probably the nickel and
cobalt are to be traced to the ship.

Miss Aspinwall was smiling. Her
gait and manner were redolcnt with
JOY.
The signorina, on the contrary,
seemed to have weights on her feet.
She stumbled once or twice. and her
restless eyes had sort Of terror III

"You know his name, then?"

They were now at the foot Of the
steps leading up to the huge portlco

signorina uttered this assent she looked

or walk.

But when she gained the room which
had been placed at her disposal and
had carefully shut the door and closed
the windows her composure Instantly
left her, and she fell in what looked
like sudden collapse before chair,
and burying her face in its cushions
gave long, low cry, the language OF
which it would have been hard to in
terpret. Then she started again to
her feet, and opening her trunk took
from it a telegram blank, upon which
she wrote one line. , But before she
had signed it she paused again. and
stood so long with it f1uttering in her
hand that she might have been taken
for an exquisite statue of irresolution.
Finally she tore up the contemplated
telegram, saying as she did so, in the
sweetest of musing tones:
II will not meddle with fate. Let II
bring me what it will. It's gifts may
be better than any have lost, than
any I have sought for" And the
troubled brow grew smooth and the
childlike look came back 10 her face
and of all the joyous creatures that
futtered beneath the sun. that day she
was the brightest. the sweetest and

singular about this. At 4 dinner in one

spoken impressiveiy to an exceptionally
fine audience Of men on some of the lacks
of the church in reaching the laboring
man. Then a Prominent business man rose,
and incurred courteously: Will Professor
Wyckoff tell us what remedy there is for
these evils" Instantly the answer flashed
out: THAT'S q natural question. But there
is no remedy. There are hundred rem.

but every one of US can do something per-
sonally to make an individual worknsman
