The marvelous and extraordinary
mindreadins test which cost asu-
inrrtnn TrvinT Uishon his lifcsome
"n" o .
ime ago was success! ully accomplish
ed at the Grand Pacific hotel yester
day: afternoon by Paul Alexander
Johnstone. 1 he feat periormed uy
Mr. Johnstone is as remarkable as it
is wonderful. Oae is confronted by
facts wholh' leond man's reasoning
or understanding, weinl, mysterious,
and totally inexplicable.
This is what Mr. Johnstone did:
He drove doubly blindfolded and
with a black hood drawn completely
over his head and shoulders, from the
Auditorium hotel, through cross
streets in the down-town thorough
fares, thronged with vehicles, to the
Grand Pacific hotel. Then he wefit
up to the desk, was put in possession
of one of the registry books, and by
mind-reading picked ajiame from the
several thousand registered inside.
lie hot only picked the name out, but
actually wrote it out, and in a char
acter hand almost the exact fac-simile
of the original signature.
From the timet he left the Audited
rium hotel until lie had written the
name . out M r. Johnstone remained
blindfolded.. Xobody said a word to
him, nobody tpuched him. He drove
blindfolded, nicked T the name out
blindfolded, wrote it out blindfolded.
It was the most remarkable exhibit
ever given. How it was carried out
. --r
the following facjts indicate:
Shortlj before 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon IJ. Arthur Johnson of the
Chicago Press club, Thaddeus Dean,
editor of the Lumberman, W. C.
Wright, manager of the Lumber
Trade Journal, and Charles Lederer,
all reputable newspaper men, started
from the Auditorium in a two-horse
upon to test the alleged mind-reading
power of Mr. Johnstone.
1
The agree- 5
ment with. Mr. Johnstone's
manager,
Mr. Gooding, was that they should
drive to the Grand Pacific: that there
one of them, Charles Lederer, should
pick some name of a guest from the
register. Then Mr. Lederer was to
remain at the Auditorium with the
register containing the name picked
out while the other three men should
return to the Auditorium and Mr.
Johnstone was to be pnt to the test.
The route driven over by the com
mittee ot- four from the Auditorium
to the Grand Pacific hotel was as
follows: North on Michigan avenue
to Monroe street, west on Monroe
street to Wabash avenue, south on
Wabash avenue to Jackson, west on
Jackson to State, south on State to
an; Buren, west on V an 13 uren to.
Clark street, north on Clark streec to
Jackson, thence to the Grand Pacific.
This ; was by no means a straight
route to the Grand Pacific, as will be
observed.
"Now gentlemen, keep -our mind
concentrated on the route over which
you-have just driven," requested Mr.
Johnstone when the committee re
turned to the Auditorium.' He then
began preparations for starting. He
passed his hands once or twice over
the forehead of Arthur Johnson, who
had driven to the Grand Pacific, And
then i snapped his fingers nervously.
j
JOHNSTONE SLIGHTLY BLINDFOLDED.
. "Quick, quick, he crieid, "blind
fold me."
A silk handkerchief was produced.
! '-Tighter, draw it tighter," cried
Mr. Johnstone. "Put another one
over that," he said, and a second
handkerchief was produced.
"Now, the hood Quick! Oh, be
quick!"
The man's nervous agitation was
something unpleasant to see. The
hood, a black cloak falling clear down
over the shoulders, was thrown over
his head. "Now come, let us go," he
said,; Mr. Johnson took his right
arm, Mr. Dean on his left, and Dr. G.
F. Butler followed fo as to be pres
ent if an accident should render his
services necessary.
The mind reader almost flew down
the marble grand staircase of the Au
ditorium. The rig was standing at
the ladies' entrance. Dr. Butler got
into it, then Mr. Dean, Mr. Wright,
andfinallj the mind reader was as
sisted into it, B. Arthur Johnson fol
lowing. . :
Mr. Johnstone sat upon the driver's
seat v Arthur Johnson, who had
driven the team to the Grand Pacific
a few moments before, handed him
the reins. These he took j with - one
hand; with the other he touched Mr.
Johnson's forehead. "All right!" he
cried, and he touched up the horses,
who started at an exceedingly lively
gallop so fast indeed that a park
policeman shouted at them J to halt
It' was a startling sight to see this
man, blindfolded, '. eagerly leaning
over the buggy railing,driving through
the great thoroughfares of Chicago.
Traffic on Wabash avenue, State and
Clark streets was at its height With
in fifteen minutes the Grand Pacific

was reached! A great crowd was as
scmbled,al though no public announce
ment had lMen made that a test ,was
to take p.a.x Mr. Johnstone was in
a fearfully excited state when he en
tered. He kept a constant snapping
of his fingers and littcrallv ran to
reach the rotunda and the desk
Through a trifling misunderstanding
the test came near failing.x Instead
of remaining in the rotunda with the
register, as had !een agreed upon,
Mr. Lederer, Co avoid the great crowds
went into the club-room. Mr. John
stone easily found him, but the strain
on his mind was intense. Whtn
he r a bed Lederer he w: s
on the point of- failing. The
hood was at once removed. His face,
at no time possessing color, was
ghastly pale, while it was flooded with
perspiration trickling down in streams
all over him.
'Oh, take me into a private room,"
he cried, "I shall faint; quick, quick,
take me away." He reeled like a
drunken man.
' Give me a glass of whisk -oh!
God take me away."
THE STRAIN WAS INTENSE.
He was taken up-stairs for a few
moments. In the meanwhile Charles
Lederer returned to the rotunda and
then went behind the counter.
Within five minutes Mr. Johnstone
came down. The hood was again on
his face. 1
'There he is, there he is," he shout-
ec
He was led to Lederer. "Give
me the register," he cried. He
was trembling like an aspen leaf
shaken by the wind. A thrill wen;
through him wnen the register was.
put under his hand. He shuflled the
pages over nervously. The black
hood was removed but he was still
blindfolded. He kept snapping his
fingers constantly.
"How many of 3'ou gentlemen
know the name," he cried. "Stand
all around here, let me touch you."
Again he shuffled his fingers through
the pages of the register. "For God's
sake, gentlemen," he cried, "do keep
your mind on the name selected.
Don't 3ou see I am almost ready to
faint!"
The crowd leaned over and almost
brushed him. "Do stand back; stand
back and give me a chance," he said.
lie shut the register tight, then re
opened it. He struck his foot on the
ground.
"Gentlemen, you are letting your
minds wander. The name is on this
page, August 25, and you know it is."
He passed his fingers up and down
the page. 4 1
"Now look at the name, he said to
Charles Lederer, then close 3our eyes
and think."
Lederer did as was requested.
Johnstone snapped his fingers again,
struck his hips once or twice, passed
his hand through his hair, and at last
cried in an intensely excited voice:
"Give me a sheet of paper, a
pencil." ,
They were handed to him. Then
he began writing:
"J. G. Bu "
Somehow he could not finish the
name. "Give me the hood," he called.
"Now a coat." A coat was handed
him. He tried it again. "Do con
centrate your mind on the name;
keep it before your eye," he said to
Lederer. Then he proceeded to write.
The piece of paper was not quite
large enough to hold the whole name,
and he crushed and flung it from him.
Finally he wrote out in a full, legible
hand:
I , J. G. Butler, Jr., :
! Youngstown, Ohio. :
It was the name picked out by
Lederer and the committee. The test
had been successful. The mental
feat which Washington Irving Bishop
had died In endeavoring to accom
plish had been successfully carried
out The crowd in the rotunda of
the hotel cheered the mind-reader
loud and long.
But what a collapse in his phj-sical
appearance! He had to be carried
out Great drops of perspiration
poured down his cheeks, his hair was
wringing wet He was taken to the
parlors up-stairs. Dr. Butler attend
ed him, and his manager, Mr. Good
ing, had a glass of whisky sent to
him. But then it was that really a
most remarkable phase of what had
truly been a marvelous exhibit was
shown. Johnstone was reviving. He
seemed so happy to have succeeded
in performing the feat that he alter
nately laughed like a boy and sobbed
like a child. It seems that once
during the trip a false halt was made.
Mr. Johnstone wanted to explain
how it wjas. And then he went
through what he had watched for on
the streets while driving blindfolded.
nE TELLS THE STORV OF THE DRIVE.
"Once," he said, shivering, "I saw
a team. I had to turn sharp, the
tongue of my carriage was going
right through it I gave a sudden
twist and fortunately I cleared it
Then again, once a big wagon a hay
rack or something of that sort, was
driving right past me. It was loaded
with barrels, I had to avoid it; it
was coming right toward me." And
thus he went on describing exactly
what happened during the drive from

all the time and under a black hood.
Mr. Johnstone is a man about 20
years old, smooth-faced, about 5 feet
7j-or 8 inches high, and of sandy
complexion. He came to Chicago
from Michigan, where his mental feats
startled all those who saw them. He

lungs ; she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but erew worse.
He told her she was a hopekss victim of
consumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion ; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from the
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking ten bottles, found herself
sound and , well, now does her own
housework and is as well as she ever
was. Free trial bottles of this Great

Tlie foet medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica
tion, and one that will reach all the re
mote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past obliges us to admit
that only i one remedy has met these
conditions, and that is 1? ly's Cream
Balm. This pleasant remedy has mas
tsred catarrh as nothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more
distressing symptoYns yield to it.
