ACCIDENT lNTERFERED
WITH FLIGHT Of AIRSHIP

Brockton. Mass. oct "A Roy Kna-
benshue attempted an ascension in his
airship at the Brockton fair grounds
early this forenoon and met with a mis-
hap. The ship had ascended about 20
yards and was about 80 yards from its
starting point, when the motor missed n
number OF revolutions. This prevented
steering and the great envelope contain
ing the gas smashed into n fagpole on
one OF the barns, stopping the flight.
Knabenshue shouted 20 his assistants
who were close at hand, and he tossed
them ropes. and he was able to descend
without injury 20 himself. The netting
covering the envelope was torn. but re-
pairs were quickly made and the intrepid
young man AZ once began preparations
for another ascension.

WHAT
WOMAN
is THIS?

The second week Of the wonderful Fays
at Infantry Hall is proving of even more
interest Ynd attracting more attention
than on the occasion of their first en-
gagement. Then these remarkable people
came to Providence almost unheralded.
Now and then throughout the city there
was one who had witnessed the perform
ance of the Fays in other cities They
knew that they ranked first and greatest
in their mystic line. In fact, that they
had no imitators. even. worthy OF the
name As result It took nearly a week
for the public TO become educated 20 the
truth that there was but one company OF
Fays: that no one else could duplicate
their remarkable demonstration: that the
work they gave was both of a high order
and apparently within the circle OF in
explicable mysteries.
Hence as night after night the audi
ences swarmed into Infantry Hall. saw
the marvellous cabinet demonstrations of
Mr. and Mrs. Fay conducted under the
sharp eyes OF a committee selected by
the audience as later. they listened to
Mrs Fay, in the character Of a charming
oracle. tell from the stage things which
IL was supposed no one else knew except
the one who put the question. the wonder
grew and increased.
What manner Of woman Is this" they
quered. who. seeing without eyes. can
delve into the secrets OF our inner minds
can read our very thoughts and, rarer
stil, give us answers TO questions but

IL was A revelation TO the audiences
who packed Infantry Hall, and what won
der that they continued TO go night after
night. as the news travelled that here was
mystery the like OF which had never
been revealed before
This is an intensely practical age. Men
both reason and think more than I'm the
olden golden days then permeated with
superstitious marvels derived from the le-
gends OF "A misty past. But 10 Is the very
practicabiity OF the audiences who go
TO see and hear Mrs. Fay which adds in
terest TO the demonstrations she gives
They see and hear the wonderful lady
answer queries they believe she had no
means OF finding out. and the uncertainty
OF solutions which They might hazard as
10 how she does It, again adds 90 the
pleasure OF the whole as an entertainment.
The audience last evening was an en-
thusiastic one 10 listened attentively ca
queries and answers. and when tho latter
happened 90 be particularly apt, tumul-
tuous applause greeted the event. There
was a warmth in this, too, which showed
that the beautiful seeross had the SYM
pathy OF her auditors. which was In Itself
very gratifying.

eminent of the thousands who will read
