Anra Eva Fay.
rare treat IS in store for tho peopl
az Richmond during the coming week
when Anna Eva Fay. the world creates
theosophist and spiritualisic medium WI
apuear on Tuesday and "Wednesday even
iues at the Theatre. Her tests are mad
ON "A fullv-liehted stage. She invokcs n
eupernatural or dcmoniacal assistance J
her performance, but accomplshcs u,
feats by earthly means.
The world is skeptical. people do no
like to believe what they 10 not under
stand. their reason sometimes refuses u
be bound by what they see, or think the.
sec; they do not care 10 give credenc
10 what seems % them impossible o
beyond the natural. and yet how littl
they know Of the various forces whicl
are hidden away beyond their ken.
Miss Fay does not las claim TO any super
natural force. she simply produces tn
manifestation. and asks the committee
appointed and the audience TO judge a
to outside human aid
COnccmiug Miss Fay q writer in th
New York sun recently said:
"I'rom childhood, and without impert
nent reflection, We can say that it ma
been a number OF years ago, Miss Fay
hobby has been spiritualsm. Gifted wit
a peculiar temperament above the world
probabilities. keen mind she has don
more than any other person TO elevat
the doctrines OF spirit communion abov
charlatansm and trickerv. In her IN
mediumistic power is fully developed. an
her manifestations have astonished tn
greatest thinkers of all nations in IN
civilized world
'AIost of Miss Fay's life has been sper
abroad. and two large scrap-books ar
filled with press testimonials Of her won
derful exhibitions. She has appeared bt
fore all the learned societies Of Europe
and even monarchs have deigned to atten
her soances and bestow substantial recog
milton OF her powers.
