streets OF Seattle for the past three days.

person who had formerly witnessed her
wonderful powers would spare no pains In
trying 90 convince their skeptical friends
to see and believe.
Last night q larger audience than ever
greeted this wonderful little woman at the
Seattle theater. and IL anything was more
enthusiastic than ever In its applause
whenever she accomplished . difficult feat
or answered an extremely hard question.
Some Of her answers of course created a
great deal OF amusement. especially when
the iuckiess victim happened to be fell
low who had best girl and suddenly had
his thought read. and was compelled 20
acknowledge that the answer was correct.
One OF the peculiar cases which she men,
toned was that of Mr.. Chris Dow. q we'll
known wheeiman Of this city, who on Octo-
Der II. 1895. had three watches and other
prizes which he had won at race meets
stolen from him. Miss Fay described every
article correctly. rernarking that he seemed
to hava lost nearly every bit of jewelry
which he possessed. and giving him the
name Of the chief Of police at Portland,
Or. who could tell him about the lost arti-
cies II Mr.. Dow would write to him.
Some one thought OF the question: who
viii be the next chief OF police OF Seattle ."
Reed stands as good a show as any one."
came back the response like fash. When
the gentleman was asked II that was not
what he wished to ask he admitted Il to be
correct.
Mr.. J. Redelshelmer wrote the question:
What did pay for the goods I bought
''Twenty-.wo cents" answered Miss FAY.
which caused = smile to &C around.
Mr.. Richfieid, the comical facial artist.
who entsrtsins the audience during the in
PERMISSION. was exceedingly funny. and one
OF his songs. entitled. "Oh. the Comforts
OF Home" brought down the house. He
is exceedingly clever in his limitations, and
was compelled TO answer several encores.
BY special request. Miss Fay has decided
to remain In Seattle few days more, and
win give three more entertainments. on
Saturday, Sunday ard Monday next.
