On Monday next Professor X La
Motto and Olga Sage, the hypnotists,
will begin a week's engagement nt the
Academy of Music in this city. Last
week they were in Rending and created
such a furore that hundreds of people
who had become impressed by the ex
ercise of their peculiar power request
ed thrm to remain another week and
the engagement was finally prolonged.
This week they nre turning people away
every night. The week previous to
their going to Heading the Sages were
at WllUes-liafre, where they appeared
nightly before the largest nudiences
that ever gathered In the tirund Opera
house, not excepting those attracted by
the I '.aid wins last season. A inlceable
thing about the Sages' entertainments
is thut they have no confederates, but
select their subjects from their audi
encesfrom umong people who are well
known In the towns In which they ex
hibit. Occasionally Professor Sage uses
Mr. Fullwood, his advance agent, or
Mr. Adkins, his business mnnager,
when he has some especially hazard
ous font to perform, but he never
places them underinlluencevt ithout pre
viously notifying the audience that they
are in his rmploy. The Sages are nev
er at a loss for subjects and It frequent
ly happens Hint representative citizens
submit to the professor in order to sat
isfy themselves there is no fake about
hypnotism. During the week's engage
ment the character of the Sages' enter
tainments are enangeu every night, so
that those who go every evening will
not see the same exhibition twice.
During the week the subjects will play
a ball game on the stage, open bar
ber shops and sha?e customers; open
photograph galleries and take Pictures.
open dentistries and draw teeth in the
most approved fushlon; take their
girls out slelglirlding, etc., etc. There's
one tiling everybody says after seeing
the Sages and that is "I never laughed

Dunn Urus. Awarded Monroe Avenue
J'aving Contract.
PIKST GIVEX TO BAKBEK CO.
Uut When Fiv Harbor Adherents Had
Uons Home the Dunn Men Moved
a Uceonsldcrotion and Car.
ricd the lay-
Common council last night voted to
award the Monroe avenue paving con
tract to Dunn Pros, for $2.23 per square
yard, which Is 35 cents a yard less than
the Karber Asphalt Paving company
proposed to do it for.
It may be possible that several of the
common councllmen will be greatly sur
prised upon reading this to learn that
the Itarber company did not get the
job. for they voted with a majority of
their brethren to give It to them, heard
the chulrman decide that the Harber
people were awarded the contract and
went home assured that the Harber
peoplo had the contract.
Hut the Harber people haven't got the
contract and the reason that they
hrven't got It Is this going home of
these several members.
It was this way.
All the members of council, with the
exception of Mr. Seamans, were pres
ent when the matter of awarding the
contract came from the paving com
mittee, and by a vote of 10 to it It was
decided in fuvor of the Harber Asphalt
company. As the meeting progressed
the attendance thinned out, and by the
time the ninth order of business was
reached there were only fourteen mem
bers present. Chairman drier, who
was a Dunn man. happened to size up
the body ut this Juncture.and discovered
that the live men who had departed
weie all Harber adherents. J
While Mr. Keller held the council's
rapt attention with a red-hot speech
ugainst suburban councllmen making
themselves perniciously active in the
affairs of his and the other central
wards, Mr. drier called Mr. Oliver and
Mr. Flaiinghan to the desk und hur
riedly whispered something which
caused their eyes to open, t ne whis
pered message was passed to each of
the Dunn supporters and by the time
Mr. Keller got through talking a clever
scheme had been arranged.
ltefore the five remaining Harber
people could collect their wits, council
had returned to the third order of busi
ness, leconsldered the Monroe avenue
paving oontruct, tubled the resolution
awarding the Job to the Barber Asphalt
ompany and adopted a resolution giv-
I
ng It to Dunn Hros.
WOULD NOT EXCUSE HIM.
Mr. Zeidler. a Harber man, started a
movement to break a quorum, but
Chairman drier would not excuse him.
He started to go without permission,
but Mr. Keller frightened him into
staying by Buying he would prefer
harges against him. Mr. Flanaghan
also told him In a fatherly kind of a
way that he would get himself Into
trouble If he left without being regu-
latly excused. The other four Harbor
mi n were headed for the door, hat In
hand, but could not resist tho tempta
tion to see what Zeidler, who stood on
the threshold, was going to do, and as
a consequence the whole tiling, which
required about a minutes time, was
done before It occurred to them that
they at least would not have been sent
to Jail If they had rushed out and there
by broken tho quorum.
With a smile that was aggravating
in the extreme, Mr. Keller, at the con
summation of the clever coup, turned to
Mr. Zeliller and said: "You may go
now. Yes, you may go now, chimed
in Chairman drier. And Mr. Zeidler
went.
This paving fight was one of the hot
test battles that wus ever waged In
common council. After being besieged
by the representatives of the two com
panies and two factions of the property
holders for the last two weeks, the com
mittee lust night brought In two re
ports, the majority report, signed by
Messrs. Noone, Wenzel, McClrall and
Gordon favoring the Barber bid, and the
minority report signed by Mr. Keller,
recommending the awarding of the con
tract to Dunn llros.
MR. KELLER'S SPEECH.
Mr. Keller made a lengthy and strong
speech in ruvor or the minority report
reiterating his contention that the only
question before the committee and
councils was the selection of the lowest
responsible bidder and that the uualltv
of material and all that was a matter
which the ordinance and specifications
leaves entirely in the hands of the city
engineer, ne aiso iook occasion to re-
mark that he could not see what could
influence councllmen to vote to virtual
ly rob the people of the four blocks of
Monroe avenue out of $3,100 as they
proposed to do in voting to give the
contract to the Harber Asphalt com
pany. He showed how the city and
property holders would be protected
even in case ounn iiroihers should de
fuult or fs.il to live up to" their contract
and argued that it was establishing a
bad precedent to award a contract to
the higher bidder, discouraging com
petition anu bringing criticism on the
body. Mr. Keller concluded by pre
senting a petition signed by a large
majority of the property holders pray
ing that the low bid be accepted.
Captain Molr, In whose ward ore three
of the blocks which are to be paved,
also spoke In favor of the Dunn bid.
Mr. Mcdrall got himself heartily
laughed at by getting up at this Junc
ture and making an explanation that
didn't explain, to wit: That he and
other majority members of the commit
tee were befuddled by the bombardment
of lawyers, asphalt agents and the like
and brought In their report so that
there would be two sides of the ques
tion presented and councils could do
the rest.
Mr. Oliver also spoke In favor of the
Dunn bid along the Hues of Mr. Keller's
arguments.
VOTH ON THE MATTER.
The vote on the adoption of the mi
nority report favoring Dunn Brothers
was then taken and resulted as follows:
Ayes Loftus, Simon Thomas, H. 13,
Thomas, Flanaghan, .Molr, Oliver, Keller,
Orier-S.
Nays (lordon, Regan, dllroy, Wenzel,
Wlrth, Sweeney, Nealls, Zekller, Noone,
Mcdrall, Martin 11.
Mr. Flanaghan said he was surprised
that councllmen could bring themselves
to so openly beat the people. "It is a
shame," he said, "a black murk on the
council and a thing that will be remem
bered by the constituents of those who
have stood up here and voted away
people's rights and money."
Mr. Keller said that the stand he had
taken was said by the city solicitor to
be good law. The city engineer Is the
man to Judge of the materiul that will
go Into the pave, and the councilman
who votes against the low bidder con
stitutes himself a judge.' Mr. Keller
argued and pleaded with the members
to heed the voice of the people and give
fair play to the bidders, but It was all
In vain. He made out one convert. Air.
Zeidler, of the Sixteenth ward, who
voted for the low bid and made the bal
lot stand 10 to 9.
That his heart wasn't In it. however.
was evidenced when the Grler surprise
party was sprung, for he was the first
to make the attempt to break the
quorum. The reconsideration and final
action occurred about 10 o'clock and
adjournment was Immediately made.
Action connot again be reconsidered
under the rules and the matter will
now go to select council.
Tl'RNPIKE TROUBLE AGAIN.
Mr. Flanaghan said he had heard
that the Turnpike people proposed mov
ing their toll-gute down to Leggett's
creek, which is within the city limits
and he Introduced a resolution direct
ing the street commissioner to take
the necessary legal steps to prevent.
Mr. Oliver advised taking out an In
junction and Messrs. Sweeney and
Nealls advised taking out an ax. It
was nnnlly agreed to Instruct the street
commlsisoner thut In case a toll gate
Is erected within the city limits by the
Providence and Ablngton Turnpike
company, he shall remove It If In his
Judgment It shall be an obstruction.
An ordinance for a lateral sewer on
Monsey avenue and another for as
phalting the court between Clay and
Webster avenues passed third reading.
The annual report of the city con
troller's department was submitted by
Mr. Robinson and ordered filed. A syn
opsis of it Is appended: The revenue
from all sources was $384,304.77. Im

"Our Woman's Newspaper" has been
given to the public and everywhere
yesterday the warmest words of praise
were heard for It, for It exceeded all
expectations. The women who labored
so earnestly und unselfishly to make it

they so richly deserved. The paper was
complete in every detail and most of
the departments were of unusual ex

and soon the ponderous press was in
readiness to begin the task of printing

weary women editors and reporters re
mained to witness the printing of the
first copy, which was afterwards en
closed in a, handsomely printed satin
cover and given to Charles Schlager,
who paid $100 for It.
As soon as the press began to throw
off the printed copies they were hur
ried over to the Young Women s Chris-
thin association rooms, where a corps
of women prepared them for circulation
and distributed them through the city
and Its vicinity. The paper was on sale
In many business places.
The solicitors for orders for The Wo
man's Paper desire that any that did
not leceive their papers yesterday in

A New Piano
IT IS FOOLISH to suppose that a piano
at this price Is a first class one, or is
equal toothers for more money; or that
you can purchase cheaper of outside
parties than of a reliable and established
Music House.
Common Sense
Should teach this to be so. When
persons wanta satisfactory Instrument
the place to go Is where you can find
an assortment and buy of dealers who
know what they are talking about.
