ANNIE EVA FAY.

Lovers of the mysterious will have another opportunity this week at Polls to exercise their speculative powers in trying to fathOm the way in which Miss Annie Eva Fay performs her astounding feats of second sight. The great act in which she has won fame is termed ''somOnOlency. proba- bly, from the fact that while in an ap- parently comatose condition she seems to become a part of the minds of her audience and understands clearly everything that is passing therein. While in this condition Miss Fay reads out to the audience questions that are written on slips of paper while these Slips are still retained in the possession of questioners, calling out at the same time the names of her questioners al- though these have been hitherto un- known to her. She performs also a number of cabinet tests of the Kellar kind which are equally mystifying. The whole performance is one to in- terest the curious and to test their powers of explanation. and it is one that will undoubtedly have the local public guessing before the week is done Last season. it will be remem- bered, when Miss Fay played an en- gagement at Polls. she made a big sensation. and that she will repeat it is quite certain. Popular prices will prevail during the engagement, and there ought to be some very large houses during the week. On Thursday and Saturday Miss Fay will give mati- nees for the ladies only.

Established Colony in Delaware
 as Early as 1638.
Some of Their Descendants Did yaI- iant Service for the Cause of L1b- erty Maintain Many
 Churches and Journals.

As is we'll known, the Swedes found ed settlement on the Delaware in l63S, and the remembrance of this first Swedish emigration to America teens with interesting episodes. In an article in the Chicago Record-Her- aid Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson says that the Swedish language was used in a Philadelphia church as late as 1923 and then continues: I cannot here enter more fully into the de- tails of this settlement, but I may be permitted to call attention to the fact, probably not generally known, that John Morton, one of the signers of the declaration of independence, and an active member of the conti- mental congress, born at Ridley, Pa, in 1724, was a descendant of the Swedes on the Delaware. Robert An derson, the gallant defender of Fort Sumter, agalnst which the first gun of the rebellion was fired, was also scion of the. Swedes on the Della ware. Thomas F. Bayard, who served our country as senator, secretary of state and ambassador to England, re- peatedly told sne how proud he was
 
 his mothers side from these same Swedes. And so we see that love of | freedom, patriotism, statecrafts and all that makes for good citizenship came over to America not only in the Mayhower, but also in the Kalmar Nyckel and yogel Grip. The first Swedish settlers on the Delaware came in the ship Kalmar Nyckel and in the yacht VogeI Grip, in 163s, just as the first Norwegian immigrants in this country left Norway in 1925 in the sloop Restoration.
 Among the distinguished represen- tatives of the Swedish-American group of our population I may also mention the famous rear admiral of the United States navy, John A. Dahl gren, who was born in Philadelphia in 1909. During the war of the rebel

 lion he si1enced Fort Sumter and se- cured safe anchorage for the Mon itor inside the bar of Charleston, and in this manner effectually put stop to the blockade running, which had been so successfully practiced. His name is thus linked with that of the world-renowned John Ericsson, the inventor of the Monitor, and our navy is largely indebted to Dahlgren for the great improvements in it's ordnance made since 1840. It is hardly necessary to add that John Ericsson, whose invention of the Monitor in 1862 made the north su- preme on the sea and shortened the war of the rebellion, was a Swedish immigrant, born in Sweden July 31, 1903. He emigrated to England in 1926 and to America in 1889. In 1929 he invented the fire engine for ex- tinguishing fires, and in 1884 he ap- piled the screw instead of wheels for propelling vessels.
 A large number of Swedes served in the war of the rebellion, and going back to the war of the revolution we find brilliant Swede, Col. (afterward field marshaD Axel Fersen, who in f779 went to France, where he was appointed colonel of the royal regi- ment of Swedes. At the head of his regiment he served in the later cam paigns of the Amerlcan war, and dis tinguished himself on various occa- sions, particularly in 1781, during the | siege of Yorktown. Axel Fersen also took part in the negotiations between {. Gen. Washington and Gen. Rocham- beau. He afterward became marshal of the kingdom of Sweden. One of the most distinguished SwedesS now living in this country is John Lind. He was born in Sweden March 25, 1854; came with his parents to Minnesota; was member of con gress from 1887 to 1893 and governor of Minnesota from 1899 to 1901.
 The great and fourishing Swedish Lutheran Augustana synod was or ganized in 1851, and Rev. l.. F. Esb- jorn is regarded as the father of the Swedish Lutheran church in this country. The Augustana synod has a large college at Rock Island, H.: and fourishing college at St. Peter, Minn. It has a large number of fine church edifces and a host of able pastors and teachers. The Swedes in this country maintain a number of weekly newspapers which are edited with signal ability. They are loyal to American institutions and at the same time devoted to their Swedish inheritance. It may be said of the Swedes, as of the other representa- tives of the Scandinavian peoples, that they make excellent American citizens, and that the value of their citizenship is greatly enhanced by the interest they take in the language, history and literature of Sweden.
