AT THE NOVELTY.

The feature act of this weeks bill
at the Novelty, which closes the vaude-
Vile season in Topeka, is The Ellises
presenting an original phase of mem
tai telepathy." The feminine Ellis sits
blindfolded on the stage and answers
questions which Mr.. Ellis hurls at her
from the audience. She can tell what
kind of a watch you have, who made
it, when it was manufactured and what
name is inscribed upon it. One young
ster in the audience waited eagerly I'M
til Mr. Ellis approached him; he held
out a knife.
ASK her what it is" he demanded.
Its a knife quoth the medium,
promptly, 'it belongs to little boy"
ASK her to describe it, insisted the
small chap, excitedly.
Pearl handled" said the feminine
Ellis, rapidly, three blades, one bro
ken, corkScrew attached.
The boy sank back in his seat. Here
was a woman who could tell what you
thought, what you had in your pocket.
"Gee-ee,' he whistled, I'm glad that
woman's not a teacher to my SCHOOL,
When you consider it, this is rather
lucky.
The Bimbos in acrobatic creations,
supply the best comedy in the bill.
They're short on the stunts, and long
on the laughs; this is a good recipe
for an acrobatic act. Rouble Sims
draws pictures IN hal1 minute, then
pitches them into the orchestra, whence
they are secured by small boys as
souvenirs; according to his own word
ing he tries to sing which is an
excellent description of his vocal eff
forts. Wadter Mcmillan and Company
have poor sketch called THE Black
smiths Boy Barrett and Earl, sing
ers and dancers, are fair. They intro
duce a big bisque doll, as stiff as a
marionette, who is rather good. The
program closes with an excellent Es-
sanay film
The vaudeville season is over on We'd
nesday. Gus Edwards company pre-
senting the tabloid musicale comedy,
school Days" has been booked for
the rest of the week A. L. H.

improvement of the foreign markets had
no influence on trading here today not
w1thstanding the ready response which
stocks made yesterday to the rise abroad
me hesitating tone at the opening indi-
Gated that foreign news was losing its
force, and bears raided the list
developments at home favored short
selling. The closing down of several Tex
tile mills and persistent weakness of the
Hartman shares tended to spread pessi-
m1stic feeling. Recent campaign against
the short interest put the market in
less favorable position to oppose pro-
fessional selling and the bears little op-
position.
London bought some stocks at the open
ing but the purchases from this source
were not heavy enough to have more
than a passing influence
Bonds were easier.
Weakness of standard stocks left MANY
of the minor properties in rather vulner-
able positions and when the bears put
out tentative selling orders, prices gave
way sharply. Underwood Typewriter and
Virginia Carolina Chemical issues reach
ed new low records.
First prices of Stocks today disclosed ir-
regular changes The Hartman shares
and Pennsylvania We're heavy. Missouri
Pacific and Canadian Pacific rose point
rather large buying.
Lack of support to the Hartman deter
red buyers and induced short selling
which cost Reading a point and Steel half
as much. Beet Sugar was strong, RumIey
preferred rose substantially on account of
the progress being made in readjusting
the company's finances.
Traders sold the Hartman stocks at
will, Southern Pacific falling ga and
union Pacific points. Active selling also
went on in other parts of the list. Inter
borough Metropolitan preferred gave way
8 points, Reading and Steel IL and num-
erouS other shares a point more. The
halt to the Improvement in the bond mar
ket and the Enthusiastically growing up of
general increased bearish sentiment.
The market closed weak. When the

years the general market gave way more
abruptly. High priced railroad stocks
scored losses of l to points and some
