M'EWEN LAST NIGHT.
A" Crowded Rouit and a Laughable
Entertainment. ".
A nnmber of highly-amusing special
ties were introduced last night by Pro
fessor McEwen. At the commencement
of the entertainment the professor made
a number of instructive remarks con
cerning the hypnotic and mesmeric art.
after which becommenced work with bis
class, which contained a number of new
subjects, but nevertheless proved very
successful. An amusing feature was
where one of the members forgot his
name and was told by the professor
that a person in the audience had it.
The subject immediately proceeded to
get it by force or any other means, and
after being sent around the hall by the
different ones he approached, was told
that Sheriff Driver had it, and proceed
ed, without any hesitancy, to force that
worthy official to give it up, insisting
that he come up on the stage so that he
would bave a chance to take it out of
his hide. Another one imagined that
he had lost his nose, and, with tears in
his eyes and afterwards with threats,
besought the audience to return it.
The "Cleveland Band" was one of the
best things of the evening, and the way
the members of the class sang and
turned tin whistles, broom-sticks, chairs
and old horns into first-class instru
ments, was a caution. After - playing
their respective parts on the stage, they
formed in the order ot march and parad
ed around the hall with as much pomp
and self-conceit as would Sousa's grand
aggregation.
Nothing could speak better for Prof.
McEwen tfian' the ' increase noticeable
each evening in the attendance, and,
judging ffoin the interest everyone
takes in his peculiar art, there is no
doubt that he will have crowded bouses
each and every night! th,at he remains
here.
