Hermann Has Discovered a Girl 10 Whom
Hidden Thoughts Are Made Plain.

When Hermann, the sharp Of the stage,
was IA Detroit two years ago he saw little
cirl on the street doing some mind-readiuc
tricks for other children. He watched her,
and concluded she had the talent
which made Brown. MOntagu, and
Bishop famous. Her name was
Eva Mccoy. and she was an orphan. Herr
mann became so interested in her that be- con-
tribured money for her education. and recent
" hc brought her to New York. She Is going
10 appear at Hcrrmann's Theatre, and yester-
day She gave private exhibition there. BE.
sides some local theatrical people several OF
Bernhardt's troupe were present.
Miss MCCOY is just about rs big or little as
any other twelye-y0ar-old. and when she ap-
peared on the stage she wore plain trOck.
Several men were appointed a committee, size

toward the letter. and she named n. And 80

The actor said that WAS what he had been
thinking of.
In similar fashion Miss Mccoy found out
what was scratched on the inside of gold
watch. Ii was the name of lts owner, &. T..
Center. and he and the committee were the
only ones who knew IL beforehand. The girl
then tried 90 do the mental photograph trick,
which is tOfind "A certain persOnin the company

he had been thinking.
