outside the competency or the dnma
and treaties are not subject TO its ap-

THE Witching Hour Augustus
Thomas masterpiece, which is to be
seen under the management of Geo. w
McGregor at the Opera House on
Thursday Oct. ). is a play repletc
with surprising revelations. especially
with regard TO the extremely practical
uses Of mental telepathy and hyp-
notism. 1t contains the first instance
in all literature of a man trying de-
and consciously to influence
the decision of a murder trial jury by
the means of thought trausference.
While the jury is -'out" the main char
acter. instead of standing nervously
and uselessly in the court room. retires
TO his apartments, late at night, ana
seeks to establish communion of
thought with the one iuryman whom
he believes to be most favorably dis
posed toward the prisoner. This en-
.irely mystifies the other people OF the
play, to whom mis- behavior seems
curiously inactive and feeble, but the
results more than justify the supreme
andeavor. As a matter OF TACT, the
prisoner is triumphantly acquitted and
there is no question but that the spe-
rial iuryman, to whom the mental
messages were flashed by the dynamic
power of the dominant mind, was
largely responsible for the just and
