Santanelli gave another per-
formance in hypnotism in the
opera house last night and suc-
ceeded in fully demonstiating the
fact that mind dominates matter.
8everal of onr own young men
answered to his appeal for sub-
jects and he hypnotised every one
of them and their antics provided
a very merry entertainment. None
of the old chestnuts given by so-
called hypnotists that have at
various times visited this terri-
tory, but the acts were orig:n<tl,
particularly the living statuary,
which created such a furore in
New York. This without Santa-
nelli's interesting preUminary
talk would be incomprehensible,
but as he is known to the scientific
world as the man who explains
the art of hypnosis, it was quite
clear to the intelligent portion of
the andience. No comedy written
could be as funny as the situations
produced by the subjects under
Santanelli's suggestion, and to the
skeptical we would suggest that it
would be impossible for the young
men to do what they did in their
normal state.
At the close of the entertain
ment Santanelli pnt a boy ts sleep
and he was carried to J. M. Bass
& Co.'s furniture store where he
will remain until Saturday even-
ing when he will be taken to the
opera house and awakened before
the audience. During this
time the functions of hunger,
thirst and bowel actions will be
entirely suspended. Mr. Santan
elti is the originator of this dem-
onstration and had kept his sub-
jects for ten days under the same
circumstances. He promises a
clever and amusing entertain-
ment on Saturday evening and we
predict an overwhelmingly crowd-
ed house to see the boy awakened
and the wonderful entertainment
given by the subjects under the
mafiic spell
will be th
