FAWCETT'S PRIZE
PLAY PRESENTED
COLUMBIA.
Herrmann's Exhibition of Magic Pre-
scented Novelties.

scented Novelties.
Feats Of magic and mystery entertain
ed a large audience at the Columbia
Theater last night when Hermann, the
magician, began weeks engagement.
For two hours Hermann presented
mystifying exhibitions of selight OF hand,
including the usual performances with
articles borrowed from persons in the
audience and concluding with a series
of novelties so weird that the audience
left the theater wondering and marvel
ing at the entire performance.
AS in all such entertainments the audi
ence furnished as much amusement as
the magician and his mystifying tricks.
Men accompanied by ladies were fire.
Quently embarrassed at the queer things
that happened TO them. and the spirit %
self-denial was obviously manifest
among a certain number of men when,
after ordering various drinks at the re-
quest OF the magician. they failed to
claim their order when the tray was
brought through the theater.
With all due credit to Hermann for
his entertaining feats Of legerdemain.
he promises TO bring more than embar-
rassment to more than one person If
he repeats certain of his performances
given last night. With dexterous ma
nipulations OF mis- willy fingers he went
into the audience and took a dainty
white glove from the pocket of a mans
coat The attention of the audience fol-
lowed him 10 the stage, but anyone who
happened to be looking toward a certain
portion Of the house could see that Wig
orous explanations or rather protesta-
tions were being offered a most attract
i've woman.
In the second part Of the entertain
ment two military musicians" offered
give their numbers as cornet duets, and
for each selection they make a change
Of costume, each of a military char
acter. Their playing Is interesting and
their numbers include many Of the
popular tunes Of the day. One of the
features OF the act is a series of United
States Army bugle calls.
Hermann is assisted in two or his acts
by Marie Hermann. who. as the Bride
Elect" stands before a large mirror
placed in full view of the audience.
After being incased in wicker basket
placed flat against the mirror and tied,
the basket is removed. and 10! the LADY
has disappeared apparently on the race
OF the earth. She also assists the
magician IN a demonstration OF levlta-
zion In which she Is raised from couch,
suspended in the air, and lowered with
out any visible or apparently existing
means OF support. The performance
concludes with another series OF magl-
cal novelties

Commissioners twice, complaining that
the oft repeated ringing OF the bell at
st. Cyprian's Church, corner of Thir-

suited in much physical anu financial
damage to himself.
He also explains that, unless the ring
ing Is stopped. his brother and his

The police have investigated the alleg-

District Commissioners that the police
authorities have not the power to say
when and where church bells shall be
rung. They add. however. that the pas
tor of the church volunteered the infor-
nation that. If anybody should fall sick
in the neighborhood, he will see to 1t
that the bell is not rung so often and
so long.
Mr.. Shelmire declares that the bell is
