MESMERIC MB. REYNOLDS.
Ho Glvp.i n Unique 1'cirformnnro nt tlio Y.
AI. C. A. I'nrlnr * I.nst Kvrnliifr.
That Prof. Reynolds is the possessor of
mesmeric powers that are truly marvelous
was the unanimous verdict of the largo
audlcnco that witnessed his performance-
Young Men's Christian Association hall last
evening. The entertainment was at once
unique and enjoyable , and the mesmerist
and his subjects kept the spectators in a
continual roar of laughter for over two
hours.
The professor prefaced his entertainment
with a few remarks concerning mesmerism
In general and related a number of anecdotes
illustrating the effect of magnetism as a
panacea for all human ills. Ho then Invited
those who were ready to test his power to
take seats on the platform and about twenty
men responded. Seven of these were
selected as the most susceptible to the mcs
merle Influence and Prof. Reynolds soon
demonstrated that ho had a complete
mastery over the volitions and the imagina
tions of his subjects.
After the usual introductory tests In
which ho demonstrated his influence over
the physical faculties of the subjects ho pro
ceeded to show that his power extended
over every mental. function ns well. He
made visions of playing fountains appear
before their eyes and convinced them that
the seeming water was in reality the sweet
est of perfumes. They sprang forward to
dip their handkerchiefs in the odoriferous
spray and in u moment > thc odor was changed
to indicate the immediate presence of ] x > le-
cats and the young men threw the handker
chiefs away and clap'ped their hands to their
noses with n horror so natural as to bo
ludicrous in the extreme.
The docile subjects'were made to see in an
inoffensive walking stick a wriggling , twist
ing serpent and their-faces wcro convulsed
with horror as they sprang frantically onto
the nearest chairs and endeavored to
frighten the monster awa3' . Then they
wcro made to sec ail orange tree grow upon
the rostrum and picked and nto the luscious
fruit , declaring' thrft It was the sweetest they
had over tasted. A word , and the fruit was
changed to peaches and they fell over ono
another in their haste to gather the succu
lent product. A subject was made to imagiuu
that his mother , who was a hundred miles
away at the time , was sitting In the chair at
his side , and when a man from the audience
was placed in the chair ho put his arms
around his neck and kissed him , believing
implicitly that ho was caressing the maternal
cheek.
The most ludicrous scenes wcro produced
at the will of the operator. The subjects
were taken to the circus and they laughed
and clapped their hands like a lot of school
boys at the antics of the performing elephant
and the stereotyped clown. At his will the
mesmerist filled their clothing with fleas ,
made a silver dollar burn th-Sr - hands.and
wound up by having them don imaginary
skates and cavort around the stage with as
much apparent enjoyment ns though they
were in reality on the floor of a rink. One
young man broke away at the beginning of
the performance and retired to the farthest
corner of the room , but was compelled to re

At tlio IIIJou Theater.
Strengthening the stock company of the
Bljouthcatcr has added not a llttlo to
smoother performances , a better cast and
in many respects n performance worthy of
the liberal patronage that Is being given
the ihouse. Within the past few weeks
several new people , In addition to George
Wessells and Alias Nellie Elting , have boon
added , and , with a possible exception or two
creditable presentations are the rule.
The well known English meloiirama , "Tho
Tickct-of-Lcavo Man , " is the bill this
week , and , barring minor incidents , the
play is well staged and well acted. As
Hawkshaw , the detective , George Wessells
Is clover , cunning and always In the nick of
tlmo. Cast In leading characters in the mel
odramas being presented weekly , Mr.
Wessells lias ample place and opportunity to
display powers that made the actor a prime
favorite oven as long ago as when ho played
prominent roles with McCullough. Al
Eltlng's interpretations show the result
careful study and nt- times arising to a point
of finish rather surprising in ono of her
years for she is scarce 10. This is true o
her acting In the various characters In whlcl ;
she has been cast since her advent hem
That she gives promise of developing into a
thorough artiste there can bo no question
In this week's cast she takes the part o
May Edwards , Harry Barlow cleverly lllllm
the role of Bob BrlUrly , n Lancashire- lad
with a dialect that lsexccllent , The others
of the cast are fair. T.ho vaudeville special
ties preceding the drama Include Madam
/.ceondia , the female Hercules , Arthur
Pryor of Sousa's band , In trombone solos
that are excellent , tkuWarren sisters , aerial
gymnasts , Jcnnlo Smytho , In songs and
dunces and Fowler and West , comedy sketch
team. The Warren- sisters , llttlo tots , on
about 0 , the other 10 , do some romarkab
work on the rings unq trupezo. The bill con
tinues all week.

Thompson niul linlr Tluit Any Money
Wns riureil to the Credit of
111 * Company.
NEW YOUK , Jan , 31. A local paper soys
Charles Celtic , ox-secretary of the American
Panama company , who Is siUil by ex-Secre
tary of the Navy Thompson to have vouchers
and other papers K'owing In detail the ox-
ipnditures of the company , lls'cs nt 1)3 )
Hooper street , Wllllamsburg. When asked
if he would show the vouchers , he answered :
"I have not been connected with the com-
[ 'any for four years ; 1 have no vouchers
low. "
"Do you know whcro they are1' ! ho was
asked.
'I suppose those who should have thorn
could produce them. "
"Who succeeded you as secretary I"
"Mr. X. Boyard , who has an oftlco In the
Wells building , 18 Broadway , is my suc
cessor. I presume ho can give you the in-
'ormatlon you seek.1
"It Is said that 1,000,000 francs were placed
to the credit of the American committee- .
Will you toll mo whether that is true or not ? "
"No money was placed to our credit. I have
jcen out of the company since March , 18S9. I
don't care to speak about its affairs. "
"Colonel Thompson says you have all the
papers tshowlng ' .ho transaction of the com
pany. "
"Colonel Thompson is a very old man. Ho
has said many things which ho would not
say if ho wan not so old. "
"Colonel Thompson says a large Item in
the expense of the American company was
the cost of building and transporting a largo
dredge , which at the time It was made was
the largest In the world. "
"As I said before , Colonel Thompson is nn
old man and he docs not mean what he said.
There wcro seven of those dredges and they
were not built in California. They wcro
constructed by the American Dredging and
Contract company and were built in Brooklyn
and Philadelphia. "
"How inucli did the American company
spend for dredircs' "
"We found that American machinery was
the best in the world. Colonel Thompson
says ho wants to correct a statement that
wo purchased fiOO cars in Tcrro Haute , and
then ho states that he had but 300 cars
built , and that they were built by Robert S.
Cox & Co. of Terre Haute , at a cost of
5,1)00,000 francs. Ho knows of these cars
and remembers them because they wcro
built in his city. The fact is that we or
dered 1.000 of cars , a number of excavators ,
steam boilers , cars of all descriptions and
supplies , in fact , cverytning from a ncedlo
to an anchor. We spent at least f 1,500,000.
"Credits wore opened and purchases wcro
made to Jill orders as wo received them
from the Isthmus. Certain money was sent
us from Paris. Wo purchased agafn that
amount and when it was exhausted wo asked
for and received more. We sent ful' roixjrts
to Paris showing in detail how the money
hud been used , "
"How about the money which Is said to
have been sent to America to secure neu
trality ! "
"Tho American company had nothing to
do with that. When do Lcsscps llrst visited
America ho appeared before congress and
settled all that. It was done openly , and
there- was nothing left for us to do in that
line. The American Financial company had
nothing to do with that matter , "
Mr. E , L. Openhcimer , id New street ,
when seen , said it was true that the rolling
stock of the canal company had been sold to
the railroad company , as stated in the dis-
patctics from Panama. Mr. Openhcimer
represented the railroad company in the
negotiations. "Ho hud been using the stock
for years under rental , " said Mr. Open-
hoimer , "and wo concluded to buy It out
right , that's all. "

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
It talccs off dirt. So far ,
so good ; but what else does
it do ?
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin ; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap ,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no free ,
alkali in it. It neither red
dens nor roughens die skin.
It responds to water in
stantly ; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling ; is as
gentle as strong ; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts of stores sell it ,
