What the Second Entertainment
Will Be.

Reno B. Melbourn the Wizard
OF Electricity will appear in an
evening of marvellous expert
ments entitled In the Year
2OO0."
This prophecy was prepared
with the personal assistance of
Nicola Tesla, Lord Kelvin, Sig
nor Marconi, Sir William Crooks
and other noted scientists, and
the Tacoma Ledger says of it:
Mr.. Melbourn's experiments are
numerous, quickly done, and
stunning in their import. The
dreams of humanity are made
realities before the eyes of the
audience, and nothing seems to
longer remain on the list Of i'm
possibilities. At times when Mr..
Melbourn becomes warmed up to
the marvelousness Of his theme
he displays an eloquence which
holds his audience enthralled."

taking as once applied to toll
roads, toll bridges, and other
forms of locomotion and transpor-
