GRAND OPERA HOUSE

It has been a long time since any
body or anything in the amusement
line in Wilmington has created so
much comment or discussion as is
now going on regarding the doings Of
Sevengala, the hypnotist. appearing
the Opera House this week. The SEN
sational blindfold drive of Wednesday
was followed yesterday by an equally
difficult and no less spectacular feat
Of putting one Of his subjects under
the influence of hypnotism and keep
ing him constantly playing a piano IN
tho window of Jacoby's Department
store at 224-226 Market street from 10
IN the morning until 9 o'clock at night
eleven straight hours without a mo-
ments rest or refreshments of any
kind. The subject was carefully for
tined against fatigue however. by an
excellent breakfast just before 10
o'clock, while to minimize the muscu-
lar strain his wrists were carefully
and tightly bandaged. Sevengala
placed the man under his hypnotic
spell promptly at 10 o'clock, and from
that time until he was taken from the
window at 9 last night his hands did
not leave the piano keyboard for an
instant His repertoire included every
conceivable class of music written,
from the most difficult overtures 10 the
simplest waltz and noisiest rag time.
At different times during the day the
master hypnotist entered the window
to assure himself the spell was still In
force and that the subject was in a
normal physical condition. Part Of the
time he permitted the pianist to per-
form with his eyes open and at other
times by a deft soft pass OF the fingers
the eyes were closed. The subjects
position was changed at times to avoid
unnecessary fatigue. and in whatever
position or condition the hypnotist
left him. in that same position or con-
dition he remained until changed by
Sevengala. Apparently the only func-
ton of the body at work was the hands
and the deft manner in which they
performed upon the keys would seem
to indicate the presence Of an accom-
-''-r~7 master of music. rather thar
o~- ~ whom It was asserted that he
did not know one note from another.

Charlesworth conveyed the informa-
ton to I. G. s. Hoolxe, European
agent Of the Belmont. and Mr. Hooke
Immediately lifted the receiver and
had a telephone operator hook him
up with the Forty-second street hotel.
Mrs Charlesworth's little boy left
his coat in their ROOM" shouted
Hooke.
"And Mrs Charlesworths big hus-
band left $4,000 on the hotel counter.
was the reply which nearly took Hooke
off his feet.
Rush them both down by messen-
ger" shouted Hooke Then he went
back and asked Colonel Charlesworth
II he remembered leaving $4,000 be-
hind him. The Colonel slapped all his
pockets and finally came TO the waist
coat pocket where he keeps his small
change II was empty. He laughed
and said he must have forgotten to
pick IL up. A messenger with coin
and coat beat the barrier by a few

AFRAID OF CANDY
Wilkesbarre Man Has Three Boxes for
City Chemist to Examine.

WILKESBARRE, April 3O.-For the
last three weeks numerous boxes Of
candy have been left mysteriously at
the house of Joseph Pissott Of this
city and yesterday, suspecting that
the candy might be poisoned Pissott
requested Chairman Edward Morgan,
of the Sanitary Commission Of the
city, to have the city chemist analyze
the candy He will do so.
When the first box was left at Pts
sott's house three weeks ago, he would
allow none Of it to be eaten, thinking
that some one left it I'm mistake and
would call for it later. Three days
afterwards another box was left at the
house. He also thought this was a
mistake and kept it intact. At inter-
walls of three or four days other boxes
appeared.
When one arrived yesterday Pissott
became suspicious, and fearing it
might be poisoned and that some one
has designs upon him. he asked the
city authorities to have it analyzed.
