THB WHITE MAHATMA.

Have you seen Prof Baldwin, the White Mahatma, and his clairvoyant worker Shadow the Mystic at
 Polls? If not, drop around there
 some evening and wonder, as otI CTS
 have, at the marvellous power of intui-
 ton that the extraord nary young wo-
 man has. Those who have seen her
 and heard her answer mental and
 written questions from persons in the
 audience, even before the nature O.
 these questions has become known to
 Prof Baldwin himself, have marveled
 at her extraordinary gift, and even the wisest have acknowledged themselves unable to fathom the mystery. This is all the more wonderful when it Is
 remembered that Prof Baldwin and Shadow do not claim that they ar rive at their results through any other than normal natural agencies. Neither of course, explains the modus operandl of Shadow work, leaving all that for the audience to figure out as best lfhey may or according to what tne- ories they choose. 1t is certainly a most delightful as well as mystifying entertainment. and anyone will find as much amusement as profit in witness ing it. There are some accompany .ng vaudeville acts that give added enjoy ment to the performance. Prices are l 25, 35 and 30 cents.
