pleasantly suggestive of the many
handsome articles within. The chill
dren are as busy as bees, looking and
wishing for the many nice things left
by old Santa. They make many ex-
pressions as to what would please
them, and in many instances their
wishes will be fulfilled There are
other children who are just as long
ing, but they know the conditions at
home, and can not hope for many ar
tices that would gladden. their little
hearts. They should remember, how
ever, that they are living in commun-

SignOr Blitz at
Holt Opera House

Announcement is made today Of the
appearance here next Sunday night of
Signor Blitz, heralded as the noted
scholar, author and scientist, member
of the Society of Religio-Psychologi-
cal Research, who will visit this city
for the purpose of enlightening the
people as to the phenomena being en-
acted, whether through the aid of
spirits or are they the result of hu-
man agencies?
He proposes to draw the veil so that
all may have a sight into the spirit
world, so that spirit hands and faces
..re plainly seen and recognized -
their friends. A guitar is played and
passed around the room by the in
visible power; flowers are brought and
passed to the audience by hands plain
ly seen; bells are rung, narps are
played, and other tests OF startling
nature take place in the presence of
these mediums, if the conditions are
strictly complied with.
Signor Blitz is ~ years old and
bears the distinction of being the or
ganizer of the Chicago police and fire
relief department and one of the lar
gest newsboys' homes in that city. In
his mystifying act he is assisted by
several other well known mediums
who promise an evening of rare en-
tertainment. Blitz proposes to re-
move every doubt regarding the ex-
istence of spirits and their power to
materialize.
