PrescelIe.

1t was wonderfully interesting and
entertaining show that Prescelie and
his assistants gave at the Opera house
last evening. The baseball game. play
ed by the subjects placed in the au-
dience, provoked gales of laughter and
the test Of hypnotizing by telephone
was a perfect success. The telephone
was placed on the side wall of the
stage and the subjects received the
suggestions by wire. Prescelle, accom-
panied by a committee. having left for
the purpose Of telephoning. The must
cal feature was, as usual, of the best,
Frank l.. Browne pleasing the au-
dience with the beauty of his voice.
Saturday afternoon a matinee per-
formance will be given and the one
ring circus, that created such a sensa-
ton at Prescelle's last appearance
here, will be given in it's entirety. One
of the features of the show worth see
ing is Prescelle himself. He has a very
magnetic personality and his stage APP
pearance is the personification Of
ease.

 But as the days passed, the clock seemed to take on a kind of person ality, it's dingy face assumed an ex- pression that was almost life-like. ,hough the manifestation was a frown Instead of a smile
 While at work during the day the clock would pop up in my mind, srimly serious. dejectedly striving, as f for the gift of speech; and at night in my dreams it had a part. A nun. per of times l was on the point of writing my aunt that the timepiece, now timepiece in name only. must be removed from my apartments. But on reflection l found that l should nave no excuse for making the re- quest unless l confessed to something hat might be considered supersti- ious. So the clock remained

 Having dropped into a convenient arm chair few feet away, had turn ed my eyes toward the time-stained dial; and at that moment the clock had begun to strike, one, two, three, each sound clear and distinct, until 12 had been struck. Then the clock faded from my view as completely as a rainbow disappears from an even. ing sky, and I found myself trans ported through what manner of me- diumship I had no means of know ing, to an old-fsshioned home in the country.

NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Insanity viii Now Come to Rescue Of
Self Confessed Murderer Becker.

New York. May 27.-InvestigatiOn
into the brutal murder of 15-year- old
Amelia Staffeldt in a field at Elm
hurst last week, led the detectives to
the cell Of Henry Becker this after
noon. The questioning developed little
that was new. Becker, according to
the detectives, repeated statements
made yesterday when he declared that
he had struck the girl with a stone
when she resisted his attempt to kiss
her and then stabbed her.
The police, however, are not relying
on his story, as Becker's assertions
are incOherent in many points ana
physicians who have called on him,
declare he is not responsible for his
statements.
What the police regard as an important
bit of evidence to connect Becker with
the murder of 15-year-old Amelia Staffeldt
was obtained today when detectives found
in the exact spot indicated by the pris-
oner the shirt worn by him on the day
the girl was killed.
This is the first bit of corroborative evil
dence the detectives have found.

morning from the West Indies with Il
full cargo of fruit, has thus far been
unable to unload only 200 punches Of

they will look to other branches Of la
