.RAMESES BRANDS HINDOO
MYSTICISM As FAKERY
Claims There Is No Such Thing
as Magic or Thought
TranSferenCe

There Is no such thing as magic;
there is no such thing as second sight,
or mind reading, or thought transfer
ence; there is nothing but fakery and
humbug in Hindoo mysticism, and l
challenge any Spiritualist or medium
to show me any trick or trickery done
by him or her that 1 haven't done in
the open, or cannot do. And 1 will
repeat that challenge as often as they
desire, and meet the best of them nn-
der their own conditions, and not only
do what they do but do things they
can't do-and without any spirits
either.'
This sweeping assertion was made
yesterday by Rameses, the magician
now working at the Orpheum. Ram
eses himself, who learned many of the
tricks he performs from the ma
gicians" of Egypt, where he says, the
best in the world are to be found,
does things that seem incredible to the
naked eye. But every trick he per-
forms is very simple when you know
how That, he declares, is all there
is to the best work of the best me-
dunn that ever cajoled a duped cir
Gle" And in his list of takers he
includes palmists, astrologers, mediums
alike
'Palladino, who fooled the so-called
saVants of two continents" he went
on, "was found out. John Slater the
American, has been found out It's
the same way with all of them-tricks,
tricks, that anyone can do who de-
votes the time and attention to that
sort of thing. We do those things on
the stage all the time; there they are
too common to be worth while any
more.
Don't you suppose if I went into
a dark room and surrounded myself
with a lot of CANNON and fakery
could be the greatest medium that
ever lived, if I merely made glrl
go up in flames and then brought her
to life from her own ashes? Yet l
do that twice a day on a stage, and
it is only one OF a number of tricks
to amuse a public. So, divest a me-
diun1 of his or her embellishments and
mystery and put that same medium
out in the open and what would nap,
pen? The mediums wonders "ould
be So silly and SO simple that the pres
ent dupes would be the first to moot
at them"
GLOW about the celebrated takers of
India?" he was asked.
''Vyhat do they do that We cannot
do? They make a man disappear
ves? I do the same with a woman
Thev make flowers grow before your
eyes? So do I, and give you the now
ers to prove it. They make boy
climb a rope thrown into the air and
disappear? Well, did you ever try to
look up into the air on bright sunny
day? How far up can you see, es-
pecially If you are facing the sun?
Take that same sun in the tropics
where it blazes still more intensely,
and your sight line is still lower. How
do YOU know that the boy has disapcc
neared? He has merely gone out OF
your range of vision, that's all. !

actually witnessed these so-called, won,
drous feats; they have always heard
of someone else who has. Buncompe'

All Who Condone UnioniSm

NEW YORK, Oct, 13.-Resolutions
condemning the International Typo
graphical union as being responsible
In some degree for the destruction of
the Los Angeles Times building and
extending sympathy to the owner,
Gen. Harrison Grey Otis, were adopt
ed unanimously today by the board of
directors Of the National Association
of Manufacturers. The resolutions in
part follow;
This board recognizes this act of
destruction of life and property as in
line with the general policy Of GRIM
inal unionism as exemplified by innu-
rnerable cases of resorting to the use
of dynamite to enforce the doctrine of
rule or ruin and that it places the
responsibility therefor not alone upon
the human tools who actually perpe-
trated the crime, but, in due proper
tion, upon those who in any manner
foster an organization whose line of
conduct leads to such results"

COUNTERFElTERS PASS
BAD BILLS IN CITY
Two Men Victimize Stores in the
Outlying Districts

The police department and members
of the secret service department of
the government are searching for two
men who are reported to be passing
counterfeit bills about the city. Sew
eral complaints have been made to the
police during the last few days by vic
Tins of the counterfelters. Small
stores in the outlying districts of the
city seem to be the field of the coun-
terfeiters
The system of the men seems to be
to take bill known as the Eagle
Center of a one dollar denomination
and alter the amount to represent $40
or 500. The alteration is made by past
ing the numerals over the one dollar.
Several of the bills have been given
to secret service agents and are said
to be specimens of good counterfeiting.

to General Otis, saying among other
things:
while dynamite has destroyed your
property it Is the belief of this board
that it cannot destroy the spirit of pa
triotism that has caused you to make
the gallant fight you have made for
the preservation of natural as we'll as
constitutional freedom In commerce
and industry, reward for which will be
exemplifled in the sounding of your
praises for generations to come"

Sewing

Superstition is rife in the workrooms

scissors stick into the floor when they
fall it Is sign that mourning order

that is viewed with dlsmay when the
season is at it's busiest and patrons are
clamoring for their clothes. Many are
the coniectures as to whether II will
be from a good customer who cannot
be denied or from one for whom ma
dame viii not put aside her other

To upset a bowl of pins means n
disappointment, but II only half OF
them should be split the careless one

the sewing thread signifies a gift. and
to accidentally stitch two ends to-
gethor to form a circle shows that
there will be "A wedding in the workers

take up two pins together and stick
them in before discovering what she
has done then she can at once begin

look over her bottom drawer" for It
Is a sure sign that her own marriage

Every woman in the land from the
highest to the lowest takes an interest

to those who work on them there is a
special charm about the snowy satins
and laces that go to make up the dress

To work a hair In accidentally while

that show that she Is holding 1t care

HOW TO OBTAIN A GRACEFUL FIGURE

A SLIM graceful figure is absolutely
necessary to the woman who
wishes to be considered smart and well
dressed this season, for Nine. la Mode
has been designing all her styles lately
for the slim. and the stout woman
seems to have no part in her schemes
In years gone by fashions could be
adapted to suit the wearer's figure, but
today the wearer must adapt her figure
to her gowns or be content to take
back seat, so far as smartness is con-
cerned.
To reduce the weight without in
curing the risk OF injuring the health
is a matter which must be approached
with caution and with due considera-
ton of the fact that while there are
remedies that will effect the desired
result there are many that are decid-
edly Objectionable.
The various causes which induce to
putting on additional flesh OF an objec-
tionable sort may be summed up under
two headings - hereditary tendencies
and a sluggish action of the liver and
other organs which help to induce the
formation of adlpose tissue. Now, al
though diet has something to do with
the formation of superfiuous flesh, II
plays by no means so important part
as many persons think. IN proof OF
this two persons may be te' x

Marketing Tips

Marketing is an art to which many
housekeepers do not pay sufficient at
tention. II may be very convenient to
order provisions at the door or over
the telephone, but It is much more sat
isfactory, not to say cheaper, to go to
the shops and select them yourself
When choosing mutton see that the
lean is firm and bright red. The fat
should be hard and white. and the
meat should have not the faintest sug
gestion of a smell. aEf
When choosing lamb see that the
lean is smooth and family pink. The
fat should be quite white and should
have a crisp, light appearance. rs
When choosing pork see that the
piece IS not overburdened with fat and
that the lean is firm and family pink
Pork which looks at all red has been
clumsily killed, and 1t is not as deli
cate In flavor as the white kind.
When choosing beef see that the
meat is not too bright a red and that
the grain is not of too coarse fiber. II
there is the leas. suspicion of an odor
about II ask your butcher to show you
another piece.
When choosing bacon see that the
lean is firm and bright and the fat
quite white. Bacon which looks dark
has probably lain in the shop for some
time. Do not take a very large piece,
as this is apt to be coarse. A very fat
piece cooks wastefully, and a very lean
cne Is apt to be hard when cooked.
When choosing n fowl see that the
legs are smooth and the spurs short
old fowls have hard feet and scaly
legs. Always look with suspicion on
a fowl of which the feet have been cut
off, as the chances are that they were
removed for fear that they should be-
tray its age.
When choosing fish see that the flesh
Is firm and thick and the gills red
Touch the fish and If the impression

that the fish is stale.

safest plan is to introduce an edge of
