Hermann Will be Here, Friday.

Hermann the Great" the most Won
dcrful of all modern necromancers, will
appear at the Opera House, F'ricay
evening. March 4. Hermann stands
alone in the world of magic today. He
is master of all mysteries by right Of
birth and tradition. Born of a
family Of rlasicians, he represents
the old school of leGcrt!emain, and the
latest advances in scientific illusions.
Every summer Hermann makes fly
ing trip to the leading cities of Europe
md returns to America with the latest
sensational illusions. In this way he is
lble to present an entirely new enter
tainmcnt each season. in addition to his
teats of sleight of hand which are mex
laustible and vary nightly. This sea-
sOn. as Il result of his travels. he has
secured some of the most great sensa-
lions of London and Paris, which he in
reduces for the first time to the Amer
lean public. There is IL bcwldering
md beautiful illusion which he has
christened The Bride Elect" a pretty
young girl exquisitely gowncl in one of
4edfern'S latest creations, steps on the
;tage which is bare excepting {. large
ordinary mirror which stands in the
entire. The Bride Elect walks towards
he mirror, pauses Il moment to. admire
he reflection Of her wedding finery,
md give a few last touches to her toilet.
While doing so. Hermann places q
light screen between the audience and
the chamring tableau. This he re-
moves in less than ten seconds, and 10!
he bride has vanished as completely

There is y cremation effect startling in

over:
Mrs May6rick has not been released
but has been granted n license under
the Penal ServituGe Acts. and is Al
present in a home, which she will be
able to leave towards the end of TIL
summer The announcement was mad,
by the Home Secretary in answer t.
MIR. Jas. O'Connor in the House o:
Commons on Thursday.
In anticipation of the arrival Of
Mrs Maybric;l in America when She
has been released the immigration au-
thoriticj have asked the Attorney
General whether they are to admit
llor into the country. The decision vii
probably depend on the effect of he
marriage on her citizenship. If sh,
is; still an American her conviction fol
felony will not be bar but if she is
u British subject she must be excluded
under the existing law.
y story tCid i'll THE Evering News

A Statement.

1t is more than rumored that our

notwithstanding it is well known that
such Il course would be contrary to the
Fundamental laws of de-uniOnisn.
For the vindication of our Central La

hat many Individual members have
Developed an unwonted interest in pub

IN unaccustomed activity in local poll

doubtless but the natural consequence
Of trade-union teachings. This they
have a perfect right to do. for trade
unions exercise no control over the
political acts OF their members: neither
are they responsible for their political
acts or preferences, any more than is
re church responsible for the political
acts of its members, even though the
teachings of the church may have

an interest in some particular branch
of public affairs. But that for such
purposes they are permitted the use of
