There , was ' hypnotism and
mysticism both at the Opera
House durjng the latter part of
the week just passed. ' "Imag

superabundant with some of man
kind, and in consequence they
profess to frown down , anything
that does not ' directly appeal ts
their most matter-of-fact way of

imagination will sometimes be
found very helpful; to be vision
ary is not so well, to draw the
line finely. This is a material
world all right enough, but it is
not whoUy material and it is a
blessing that it is not so. y ;
There may be those among us
who will contend that hypnotism
is not a true science-that ' 'there's
nothing in it. " Such is ' often
the case and man is quick to
condemn as untrue that which he
does not understand, even though
if he were inclined the means of
verifying, proving or disproving
may beat hand.
So it is with hypnotism. Many
ciose we were not. surprised at
the result which was x8 to 13 in
favor of Albany. :
It is stated that the game was
witnessed by the largest crowd
ever assembled in Albany on a
similar .occasion, and it was a
hard-fought, exciting I contest.
Thus, honors are even so far and
these teams will- likely have a
third game to decide the champi
onship. As each team has won
on its own floor, it is thought
that the third game should be
played on a neutral field, and

Saturday, S. B. Bane made a
trip to Portland in : the . morning
and returned in the eveneng. He
brought back two pairs of the
most beautiful pheasants a pair
each of Golden and Silver pheas
ants both legal - tender. The

birds, and although already quite

pheasants ' are , not yet matured
and their beauty is not so appar

While in Portland Mr. Bane
arranged to have some Amherst
pheasants shipped him in a short
time. When these arrive he will
have, so far as is known, the on
ly strain . of these pheasants in
the United States aside from
those possessed by Homer Dav
enport, who has a famous pheas
ant pen, M. Bane has also ar
ranged for a number of Bohemi
an pheasants. AL told, - on the
arrival of these birds he will have
five varieties of pheasants China,
Golden, Silver, Amherst and Bo
hemian. -
He says that the China pheas
ants are naturally the wildest of
all birds of this family. Pheas
ants do better, lay more and
everything in ' a domestic . state
than when running wild. This
fact is most encouraging to Mr.
Bane " and was one of the main
inducements to him for going in
to pheasant raising so largely as
he has. It is worth anybody's
