He Is a wonder and he kept on deceiving us as he stood before us until we begun to doubt whether we had any sense of sight or hearing left. The art of deception is a pleasing one when used as Durno uses It, but It makes us tremble when we imagine the havoc it might make If turned in a differ- ent channel. Durno's ticks were pearly all new to us and so the fas- cination was complete from begin- ping to end. He pulled money out of Floyd Biledleman’s nose and after- wards a Hve chicken from his pock- ets, broke another gentleman's fine watch into antoms and afterwards re- turned it to him in good condition; evolved a live duck from a maze of ribbons out of a man's hat worse than all he traded off his iden- tity with his assistant, Will Baker, so often that we were convinced that he was (n league with his Satanic majes- 76 75 25 .28 25 10 50 25 33 25 2% as "us Din- § And won't it be a good thing to 8 pleasure of the recipient.

This ended the per-| formance and we were glad to leave the stage fearing that he would work | some demateriligation illusion upon! us before we got safe in the bosom of our family. When Durno is fin-| aly buried It will be necessary to put | a big rock on his tomb or he will not stay there. Carl Hermann, the violinist and im- itator, who appeared in the program,’ 1s a skilled musician and we were sorry that he did not give us ome of his classic selections in order that we might better appreciate his abill- ties. He Is master of some of the best principles of violin tecnique and has formerly traveled with profes. sional artists. When we saw him working the difficult feats of down bow stacatto, martelle, bounding bow strokes, double trills and difficult harmonies it revealed to us his latent powers of the art divine, to which his performances of trickery and imi- tation were but the surface bubbles of true art If the audience had not been absorbed in the transformation | scene of Durno on the stage they might have heard Hermann behind the scenes executing one of Sarasates mwasterpleces Prof. Hermann is an artist and we should be glad to hear him in an entertainment where his skill would show off to better ad- vantage THEY STOLE BUTTER Newell C. Wickizer of Weston, N Y., came to Athens yesterday after noon with a quantit® of butter and his cousin, Girard Wickizer, joined him to help deliver it They drove into Herrick street and both got out and went into the Forrest House | where they stayed about three min- utes and when they returned they! found a thirty pound package of but- ter was missing. This was a little after seven o'clock but they at once | went on a search for the property] but without success. They had po | picions that Orson Carpenter John Birmingham, who are employ. | ed about the Forrest House barns, had taken the butter. They went) to Esquire Johnson's and swore out | a search warrant and Chief of Police | Mulligan and Constable er and Tom Hudson went on a hunt for t he missing property. The whole | neighborhood was searched and final- | ly Tom Hudson crawled under the) Forrest House barn on his hands an knees and soon after he Rois dud | “Hold on I've got it. [I've got it’ He soon came out with the package | and said he found It behind a brick abutement under the barn. Carpen-| ter and Birmingham were brought be- | fore Justice Johnson and gave bail’ for their appearance this morning at 10 o'clock. After Carpenter and Birmingham were arrested they claim that Howard French stole the butter. French Is wanted for a wit- ness and the case has been post: poned until next Wednesday.
