"FRIDAY NIGHT"

"In College Chapel-- Hindoo Necromancy and Stringed Music"

#HindooHistory
"An entertainment that ought to be of unusual interest is to be given in College chapel Friday evening. A great Hindoo magician which is to appear in the necromancy of Hindoo land, said to present spectacles astonishing in character and difficult of explanation"
"Among things that will be seen are vanishing men, the spontaneous growth of trees and flowers and other strange illusions. The performer will be Manek Shah, Imperial Necromancer to his highness, the Rajah of Burmah"
"Hindoo stringed music will be given and the performer will play the American violin at his back instead of in front,as is usual.Another feature of the programme will be vocal music and stereoptician views of Hindoostan along with brief description of social customs, and history"

"The meeting of Basset with Ashutor about the time when The Black Hand Gang have rounded him for failure to do their bidding, results in the clever manipulation of matters by the Hindu, who accompanies Basset on the homeward journey, as his servant"

"The dumping place for the scum of the orient and India is San Francisco"

#HindooHistory Image

"DYING JUGGERNAUT"

"The Once Famous Indian God Has Had His Day"

"No More Fanatics Anxious for Death Beneath the Cruel Wheels-- Coolies Hired to Drag the Car Once Drawn by Devotees"

#HindooHistory #Juggernaut Image
