The Electric Girl.

Miss Matte Lee Price, the Georgia electric
girl, gave an exhibition of her powers here on
Monday and Tuesday nights last, at Odd Eel
lows Hall. She is about the average size for
her age--nearly Is years-rather pretty and
robust and healthy. Her manager explained
that there was nothing peculiar about the child
except that her hair, which is a pretty brown,
sometimes changed to red at night. After a
few Introductory remarks, by invitation some
ten or dozen young men went on the stage
to test their strength against the power OF the
girl. One after another they attempted to
hold short hickory stick steady, but the
young girl, with only the palms of her hands
against the ends, managed to force them
around the stage. The next test was the
holding of an ordinary chair against their
breasts, which she bore down in spite of their
efforts to hold it steady She then lifted IN
chair. with her palms against the hind legs,
young man weighing about ITO; afterwards
she lifted three, whose combined weight was
about ATS pounds, in the same manner. -Four
of them then attempted to hold billiard cue
steady. but, with the palm of her hand against
the butt end, she hustled them about, and
finally landed them in "a heap on the chairs
they had vacated. Several tried unsuccess-
fully to bear to the ground the cue, which she
held in her hand, and another had an UNI
brella forced from his hand. This closed the
exhibition of the electric girl, whose rare
power was a mystery to the audience. The
London Mystery was great mystery to those
who knew nothing of the illusion. 10 most
of the audience it was living woman, with
only head, shoulders, waist and arms. She
laughed, talked, raised herself up, and swung
herself, while the audience stared in wonder
