A Maiden physician had an adven-
ture some time ago which he does
not care to repeat, although it gave
him a much higher appreciation of
the intelligence of his pet driving
horse than he had previously enter
tanned. He was returning home from
visiting a patient late at night, in
company with clergyman, when the
horse stopped short at one of the
most dangerous grade crossings with
in the city's limits. Absorbed in live.
ly conversation with his clerical
friend. and seeing no gate down, he
mechanically touched the horse with
the whip and urged It by his voice to

trr once would not respond. and, in

from the train, which just then

military coats are among the newest

The coat is particularly full and has
style about it that can not be had in
the everyday modes. Red lady's cloth
or corduroy with white or black stitch

make an attractive design. Other de-

Decorating Skirts.

Skirts are no longer decorated with
patches of trimming in the way of
applications of lace or of passemen-
tere, or with streamers of any sort.
The correct style is to place all the
decoration around the hem. Two
stitched folds of taffeta silk the exact
shade of the gown sewed on half an
inch apart make pretty finish on
even the thinnest fabrics. For heav-
Ter cloths an unstitched band of velvet
seven or eight inches wide headed by
tucks of the cloth is new French

THE GEORGIA MAGNET.

Miss Annie Abbott, the original Georgia Magnet" again mystified and delighted two large audiences at the Jacques yesterday with her eXhi- bition of mysterious psychological force. Strong men were sent tumb- ling around the stage as soon as she approached them, heavy human bur- dsns were lifted from the floor as though they had been so many flies, children were made so heavy by a touch of her hand that powerful men were unable to lift them, dozen husky individuals tried in vain to wrest a billiard cue from her hands, dozens Of other things equally unex- pfainable were accomplished in way to entertain as well as puzzle the spectators. All sorts of solutions have been advanced to explain the extraordinary powers possessed by Miss Abbott, but no explanation ap- pears sufficient. She herself. in fact, can give no satisfactory expla- nation of the force that is within her; she only knows that she has this mar velous power and seeks not to ex- plain it. Learned scientific men iH Europe and America have sought to account for the phenomenon, but all have had to own their absolute in ability to fathom the mystery There are, of course, many skeptics here as elsewhere who have all sorts of the ories in the premises. but for the ben eft of those who think Miss Abbott has some electrical attachment or connection with the floor she will use a piece of glass or cardboard, anything in fact but a carpet, and still accomplish all that. she effects on the bare stage Miss Abbott's press books and her collection of pho- tographs are attracting much atten- tion also and prove quite as forcibly as her work itself the wonderful powers she has. In addition to Miss Abbott's act the bill is exceptionally strong, as may be understood from the fact that it includes such noted headliners as MT and Mrs Mark Mur- phy, Paul Barnes, Al Shean and Charles l.. Warren, Russell and Locke, Bush and Gordon, Burnett and Wayerson, and the electrograph. Prices remain without any change because of the big attractions offered, being 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.
