[nE GREAT
 HEWITT 60.
Will Appear At Elks' Hall,
 Tuesday, March 2S

The Calgary Albertan of Nov. 20th has this to say:
 "ProfeSsor Hewett's performance is one of the most marvellous that Calgary has seen, and those who visited the Lyric theatre last night were both myStifed and amused.
 "The program opened with a one act play, the principal interest in which is the child actress Edwina, child in years, but iu ability the equIl of lot of the adult actresses that come to Cal gary.
 "The second portion was one of the cleverest of the whole performance. Zetta comes on the stage and sits in a chair, her back to the audience and a sheet is thrawn over her, while Protes- sor Hewet. steps among the audience and asks them to hand him articles, all of which Zetta correctly names and when it is a coin or bill she gave the date and number. The conclusion of this part of the entertainment Is where little Edwiua is laid in a state of inan- imation on table from which she rises into the air without any visible means Of support, To prove this Prof. Hew- ett draws hoop around her body.
 "The final act, for the solution of which Prof Hewett offers a reward of 5000. Ia a large chest on the table Edwina is put and the chest locked, On the opposite side of the stage was another box which was locked. Out of this by means of block and tackle an other box was lifted onto table Again out of this was taken another locked box which was put on the boards un- locked, aud in a crouchiug attitude Edwina was found inside. It is cer- ta:nly a marvellous trick. All of Prof HewetJ'S work was very clear and was all done with the lights full on It is a performance well worth seeing, and Sl- though we may not bslieve all the prof. essor says, it is still wonderful enough l to keep everybody guessing

KNOCKS ALWAYS REPEATED

skagway is rapidly falling into de- cline. From a position of such loi'y magpi6csnce that it felt emboldened to throw iolts into Sitks at regular inter vals, it has come to a pass when It gives the high sign to Dyes and says "hello brother" One of its papers says "our population is decreasing business is decreasing, property is de- preciating in value ."- Sitka Cable gram.
 The foregoing indicates what harm persistent knocker can do a community iu which he or 1t exists. Good people living in other sections of the country take the knocks that are circulated for political purposes for truth. They give them circulation and people, who, fl they were acquainted with the source Of the abuse would pay no attention to it believe them and positive injury 70 the community results. And it is not strange these knocks are believed. It is not suppOseable that a well ordered mind, unless possessing knowledge to the contrary, could understand that a papers position in any town could be such that it's interests could be sub served by knocking its publication town.
 AS matter of fact Skagway is not declining. The business houses of the city are improving their stores. ipcreas- ing their stocks and iu every way strengthening their positions. The libel quoted by the Sitka paper was put iu circulation because the author thinks his interests can be served by abusing the people of Sk.gway and lyiog about them. That is all.
