LEE A MARVEL.

Sylvan Lee, the hypnostist, who
opens a weeks engagement at the
Auditorium Monday, April goth should
be greeted with large and enthus-
iastic audience. Time and again Prof.
Lee has the spectators convulsed in
laughter.
after a few moments talkon the
subject of hypnotism, Professor Lee
asked for volunteers from the aud
fence to come on the stage to act as
his subjects. About 20 volunteered
and then the fun began. After a few
simple tests such as falling forward
and backward and clasping and I'M
clasping the hands the professor
placed them under the hypnotic in
fluence and the acts they performed
were little short of the miraculous.
With body of men possessing alb
solutely no histrionic ability, he gave
a performance which aroused more
genuine laughter than any show that
has visited Tampa in years.
One moment he has them imagin-
ing they are members of a minstrel
troupe giving a first part and using
common ordinary brooms for their
musical instruments and the next
moment they are running up and down
the aisles under the impression that
they have babies lost in the park ant
crying for their mammas. The per
, Torrance is both instructive an,
amusing. The Hindoo or Athial
sleep was introduced for the frs
time, five people being put to sleep 4
, the audience during this. test. O
a these FIVE there were three we'll know
a ladies Of this city.
The impression made by Professc
a Lee on this his first appearance
q Tampa was most fiattering and 1t
q safe to predict that he will be gree
k ed by crowded houses every night du
ing the week.-Tampa, Fla paper.
There will be special matinees O
/. Wednesday and Saturday.

Fla, is in the city, the guest of his
son, Mr.. J. M. Rifles on Laurel street,
and will spend a month in Hatties-
burg.
Rev. Mr.. Rifles is an interesting
conversationalist and has had long
experience as an orange grower in
Florida.
He states that the outlook for an
orange crop this year is exceedingly
fine, and as there is now no danger
of the young oranges being damaged
by cold, the chances are that the
yield this year will be unusually
large.
Mr.. Rifles states that his orange
orchard was badly damaged by the
great freeze few years ago, but
that the trees grew out again and
are looking well now
He says that usually fifty trees tc
the acre are planted and that they
begin to bear at three years If they
are budded. If not budded they re
quire about seven years time before
they begin to bear and at first the
yield is not large.
At ten years the trees general!
yield ten boxes of oranges and whei
they reach the age of twenty. the.

tree.
