Before a large representative au-
dience in tn Foy auditorium last even
ing ]. Randall Brown. the White Ma
hatma, gave a most wonderful and in-'I
teresting exhibition of mental telepa-
thy, and one that was very convincing.
The spectators, many of them critical
and there to scott, were brought into
highly appreciative state of mind as
the entertainment progressed, and ap-
plauded heartily and spontaneously as
the difficult experiments were success
fully executed. o.
AS a guarantee of the genuineness Of
the exhibitions committee of six rep
resentative New Haven gentlemen sat
upon the stage during the performance,
selecting the subjects for experiment
and at times acting as subjects them
selves. The gentlemen of the commit
tee were Prof. William H. Brewer of
Yale, Prof. c. A. L. Totten, Morris
Steinert, S. H. Street, julius Twiss and
the Rev. DR.. w. w. McLane OF Ply
mouth church.
The first experiment was what Mr..
Brown styles mental photography.
Coroner Eli Mix was the man upon
whom the committees lightning fell to
act as subject. Mr.. Mix was requested
to fix his mind upon the face of some
gentleman in the audience. When he
| had done so Mr.. Brown began under
| the influence of thought transmission
| to describe the man thought OF. After
| describing him he said to Mr.. Mix, Is
I the description at all right?" and the
coroner responded, 1T is almost entire
" correct He then took Mr.. Mix
among the audience and picked out cor
rectly the man whom Mr.. Mix had
chosen, amidst the hearty applause of
the audience. t "A s-f g5s5 fsSs
After telling how he had read the
minds of murderer and thief in
England several years ago, Mr. Brown
had the committee select two of their
number to impersonate murderer and
4 thief upon the stage. Leaving the au-
ditorium under the guardianship of ont
of the committee Mr.. Brown was abb
sent while a mock murder and theft
were enacted on the stage upon Q
victim unknown to Mr.. Brown. julius
Twiss acted as the dastardly ASSASSIN
and the genial Morris Steinert nearly
converted the bloody tragedy into 9
roaring comedy in relieving the victim
OF his gold watch. The victim becamt
re-animated and returned to his sea
amongst the spectators while Mr.. Stein
ert separated himself from his ill-got
ten gain. Mr.. Brown then came in an6

of the night was next performed. Will
