night by Rev. c. NJ. De Heredia, s.

Gonzaga hall.

delegate to the United States, Fa-
ther Heredia took coats from the
backs of their wearers, lifted ta-
bles and chairs apparently without
touching them, slipped out of hand
cuffs and produced an astral body in
an aura Of luminous, misty gray.
Archbishop Bonzano at one time
handed Father Heredia a sealed en-
velope enclosing a card on which a
question was written. Father Here
dia wrote the answer, sealed IL in
another envelope. and when the,
were opened both were found to
tally. The Apostolic delegate also
held the key to the handouts while
Father Heredia slipped out of them.
Father Heredia did not explain
the mysteries he worked. He in
sisted that they were merely clever
sleight of hand tricks. The perform
ance will be repeated in Immacu-
late Conception hall. I'll N street

the United States into immediate

coming into constant collision with
the other. AS a result, neither
