MISS LULU BURST.
The Georgia Wonder Cohvinces
the Doubling Thomases
of Butte,

Miss Lulu Hurst, known ss the
Georgia WONDER made Ter firsl
appearance before a Butte AUDIENCE al
! Renshaw Opera House last evening.
! To say that her performances were
wonderful or marvellous does not
convey, to one VITO has not wit
messed them, proper idea of her
strange and unknown power. Yet
there is nothing in the appearance of
the young lady indicating the posses
sion of remarkable physical strength
or unusual determination of will.
Miss Hurst was sixteen last June.
In stature she is somewhat ;h we
the medium height of ladies, weighs
about 13O pounds; possesses pleasing
and rather handsome features; a
fine complexion, indicating perfect
health, sparkling dark eyes and halr
to match. When in repcse her coun-
tenance wears a thoughtful look but
dnring her performance 1t is almost
invariably wreathed in smiles and
not intrequently her laughter is as
hearty and joyous as that OF those
who witness tie efforts aud gyrations
of the volunteers who attempt to re-
sist her mysterious and unfathoma-
bic power.
1t is not our purpose in this notice
to attempt to explain the source Of
that power or even to hazard an opiE-
ion concerning it. The young lady
herself cannot define it. 1t seems to
be an involuntary manifestation
upon her part, the movements and
force Of which are beyond her con-
troll. For instance should strong
young men attempt to hold chair
or billiard cue. or a cane, or an
umbrella in certain position, Miss
Hurst would simply place the palms
of her hands upon the object and
without the contraction of a muscle
of her hands or arms the object
would fly around the stage dragging
the doubling Thomas with it not
withstanding his great efforts to re-
main in one position. Again large
MEN sat in chair. The young lady
merely put her hands upon the side
of the chair aud without grasping it
raised them from the floor. One Of
the largest and heaviest gentlemen
she thus raised with one hand.
The performances of the evening
concluded with still more wonder
su. eAnlult,on oI Lne Remarkable
power of the young lady.
Five or six strong men raised chair
three or four feet from the floor.
While in this position Miss Hurst
pla: led her open hands, palms down.
ward, upon it. The gentlemen were
then requested to force The chair to
the floor. After long struggling
they succeeded IN lowering it a few
inches and then gave up the unequal
contest. All the while Miss Hurst
was smiling and seemed to enjoy the
efforts of the gentlemen, and when
they had ceased there was no quic k
eniny of the breath or evidence of
exhaustion upon her part.
Miss Hurst is marvel, a wonder,
exercising phenomenal power or
force and those who witness her eA-
hibitions cannot nor will not say she
is fraud or a humbug. She appears
again this evening at the same place
and those who desire to see the
greatest wonder Of the age and a
manifestation Of most marvellous
power cannot afford to allow the op-
porsunity to pass by unimproved.
