Then I told him at length of my en-

Conway and finally of Meningitis new

pressed he was far from convinced.

all that was observed of interest, from
the box.
There were many things done in the
Ell Paso theater Sunday night which
may not be explained by a layman. The
committee on the stage seemed truly
mystified by the cabinet work and ii
was certainly excellent. Only in few
experiments was the house darkened.
and the audience seemed mystified.
His Talk.
He had q great deal to say, did Mr..
Sawyer. regarding the persons who had
attempted to expose him. He told Of
the awful attempts OF a young news
paper man named Irwin who writes for
the magazines, explaining what Mr.. Ir-
win tried to explain and then doing the
experiment some other way Also, he
told OF travelling over the whole Eng
lish speaking world and especially Of
mystifying number of American and
English scientists. But it does not take
a scientist or an Irwin TO tell how TO
do slate writing trick, very common,
or an adding telepathy trick, rare but
simple.
In promotion of mankind's belief in
the spirit world, Sawyer, "spiritualist,"
will remain in FL Paso for a month or
so. The packed house last night was
very flattering to the spirit world, and
perhaps more so to Mr.. Sawyer-just as
a starter.

observation of a committee of four FL
Paso business and professional men,
who stood on the stage near at hand.
This work was cleverly done, and at
present is beyond explanation.
But as leaders, the "spiritualist'' en-
ployed two proofs of the existence Of
spirit world at his particular COM
mand which will bear explanation. 1t
is not alleged that he performed those
two manifestations" as here set forth.
But 1T is TO be related how the first
has been done by fake spiritualists for
a score of years, and how the second
may be done by anybody in exactly the
same way in which Sawyer did it last
night This explanation is offered, not
in view of harming anyone, but quite
on the contrary, in hopes of clearing
the mind of any young man or woman,
who, seeing, believe.
How Tricks May Be Done.
Here is how his two opening expert
ments may be done-by anybody, any
time, anywhere:
Displaying two ordinary school states
the ''spiritualist" sponges their four
black sides, and wipes them dry. After
the first slate is wiped it is placed on
a small oak table at the center near
the front of the stage When its mate
is cleaned and its two sides shown black
to the satisfaction of the audience the
''spiritualist" places the two states to-
gether, lifting that first cleaned from
the little center table and placing ons
upon the other at once.
Then the spirit world communication
walks over the stage bridge into the
isle of the parquet. He carries the two
states held together and a piece of
rope. A member of the audience ties

PEON CAUSES ARREST OF

Pedro YaneZ to Il Mexican peon over in
Juarez Saturday night. The man. i'm
pressed by the size of the coin, hurried
to do the bidding.
But the butcher told the peon that the
supposed S. gold piece was bogus, and
unabashed the labOrer hurried out to
seek the well dressed stranger who was
awaiting him near the door Of the mar
ket.

ing the arm of the stranger. The police
came, and now Pedro Yanez is charged
with an attempt to pass bogus money,

STAGE
Easy Explanation of Two of
the Tricks of the Per
former.

C. III. Sawyer, self-styled spiritualist,
entertained a packed house at the FL
Paso theater last night. He did some
things that the Iayman cannot explain;
his cabinet tricks are indeed clever
but some of his work can De duplicated
by the most ordinary sIe1gnt OF nand
performer in the business The Herald
does not say that his performance was
ordinary sleight of hand; it does say
that many OF his tricks have been pro-
duced time and again by people who do
not claim any spirit power.
This man Sawyer, with the apparent
assistance of a solitary worker, per-
formed some truly wonderful manipu-
lations in a cabinet, finally delivering a
real live ghost to the view of the audi
ence He did all this under the close
