I Plow Kililny'n l nUy 1 Mllwaiihoe , March Hfi. " ( lontlmon , 1 am uuablo to explain It ; 1 have ha- - ' the most learned professors at Yale and Harvard witness my demonstra tions ; mime of the most noted doc tors of the country have nought In vain for a solution of my powers and 1 myself am unable to explain further than that my mind has absolute con trol over matter. " This was all that Fank Von Nan- Ilk , a young telegraph operator In the employ of Portorllold & Co. , brokers , of this city , had to say after a mar velous exhibition of what ho terms psychic power or the control of the mind over mutter. To a few friends , for he says ho never made a public exhibition. Von Hraullk performed a few of his won derful feats , and though they paid Uio closest attention , none was able to advance any theory that woidd ex plain his methods. Ills llrst demonstration was begun by taking a sliver dollar from one of the audience and laying It on a plain , "oak olllco table , llendlng over the table , assuming a tense altitude , his head scarcely two Inches above the dollar , Von Draullk tightly grasped the hands of two of the spectators. This lasted but a few seconds , when ho released his grip , tightly clenched his hands and his breathing became labored. Ills frame shook convul sively and his face appeared drawn with pain. Suddenly the spectators saw the dollar begin moving. It traveled toward the edge of , and sev eral limes In Its progress It raised a quarter of an Inch clear of the table. From the beginning of the 1 movement It traveled faster and faster - ' or until It reached the edge when It I dropped Into Von Uraullk's hands. Ills second experiment was oven more successful than the llrst. Tak ing a stone drinking cup , four Inches deep , and tilling It with water , Von Hraullk dropped a Quarter Into It. Ho went through the same motions as In the llrst demonstration and the spectators were surprised to see the quarter rise slowly to the top of the mMg and fall over the side on to the table. His third feat auinzod the audi ence more than the others , lie took a deck of cards , placed them face downwards on the table and scattered them promiscuously over an area about eighteen Inches in diameter. Ilending over them as he had In the other demonstrations , ho told his au ditors to think of the ace of spades. Soon the observers saw the scattered cards begin to move. Gradually they began to separate and from near the bottom two cards were seen to leave the others. They slid along the table until near the edge when the top card dropped away from the other and the lower ono fell over the edge Into Von Hraullk's hand. Turning It over the young man exhibited the ace of spades. SATURDAY SIFTINQS. D. C. Elliott was down from IJloom- l\old. \ lold.C. C. 11. Slbley was In the city from Tilden. \V. A.

Students of agriculture and agricul tural conditions are advising the farmers who deslro a good stand of corn this coming season to make a thorough test of the seed they have saved before planting time comes. It Is said that a very largo per centago of the corn grown last season will not properly germinate and If the farm ers between now and planting tlmo can find which are the fertile grains and soporato them from those that will not grow , much annoyance will bo saved them later In the season , when they are given to wonder why they have such an Incomplete stand. THE CONVERSION OF A JAILOR _ Evangelist Lyon Tells His Audience How to Become Christians. Mr. Coultes sang with pleasing ef fect "Paul and Silas" last night at the revival meeting and after Dr. Sis- son led In prayer Mr. Lyon began his sermon on the conversion of the jailor at Phillip ! . Paul and Silas were Jailed because of a revival meet ing they were holding In the city which had aroused the enmity of the wicked citizens. People living In sin speak contemptuously of gospel meet ings. The devil wants to bo lot alone. People who are satlsllcd In their sins are very much disturbed by gospel meetings and treat them with ridicule or anger. Paul and Silas had boon thrown Into prison after having been beaten with rods because of the fervor of their evangelistic work. Undaunted by the Inhuman treatment they had received they spend the hours of the night In song and praise. The earthquake disturbs the jailor and anxious for the future ho cries "What must I do to bo saved ? " and Paul answered "believe on the Lord Jesus. " The Jailor wanted to bo saved. Desire has much to do with the answer to our prayers. Wo bo- Hove about what wo want to believe. There Is a difference between head and heart belief. If wo believe with our heart unto righteousness wo shall bo saved. Paul and Silas sang prais es In the midnight hour. So the Christian can sing In the midnight hour of dtfllculty , business adversity , trial , temptations and the prisoners of doubt , of bad habit , of temptations who believe can bo saved. The Jail or realized ho was lost. "Tho fear of God Is the beginning of wisdom , " and until you realize you are a lost soul you will not bo very anxious about your salvation. There Is difference between belief and credulity , between faith and assent. Faith is the basis of life. The farmer has faith In the soil and sows his seed. Business Is carried on by faith. Faith in one another Is the basis of happy homo life. If you believe in the staunch ness of a ship you commit your life unto It. You commit your life to the engineer of a train because you trust In him. If you believe In Jesus Christ you trust him with your life. If you do not believe you do not trust. Tonight the evangelist speaks on "Tho dead line In amusements" and on Sunday morning on "The Dlotyof Jesus Christ. " Wedding Invitations and announce ments , engraved or printed , at The News office.

It Is ho very best service that It Is possl- ilo to have and the patrons of the ilty ! are beginning to fully appreciate I ho change from the old style Instru ments. There Is ono complaint , however , which Is withholding a great deal of Lho advantage which Is sot forth by means of the now system. Many sub scribers , are of the opinion that they uro unable to hear as distinctly In the now as In the old style telephones. They are laboring under mlsappro- henslon duo to a slighting of the rules for talking. Get Close to Mouthpiece. Subscribers who would bo hoard distinctly must got close to the mouthpiece. The whole secret of sat isfactory communication lies In this. To get a little below or a little above or a llttlo to ono side will make the talking Indistinct. In the old system , the mouthpiece was so largo that It gathered sound pretty well from a distance but this Is different. The lips should bo pressed very closely Into the telephone and then merely the ordinary tone of voice employed. You need not speak especially loud Just talk as you would to a person In the same room. Instruction blanks have been sent out with each telephone , but llttlo heed was paid to them because pa trons considered them of no more Im portance than old system Instruc tions. The Norfolk olllco has never been so well equipped as at present. The telephone girl answers Instantly when you lift the receiver and the service la about the best In the land.

" It Is a much more capable troupe than ordinarily visits the small town.

Miss Harper is n strong player and puts her whole soul Into every line that she speaks. The part Is a dlillcult ono to till and she does that admirably. The death-bed scene at the close was especially well ren dered and brought a hearty hand from the house , as did thu ending of each act. The play Is ono of those strong , dramatic pieces similar to the typo that has been featured by Mrs. Campbell and a number of others dur ing the past two seasons. They are heavy In dramatic work and lasting In the Impression which they create. The Auditorium was not particular ly warm. The audience got out Its overcoats to keep comfortable.
