EVA RAY AsToUNDs ALL EUROPE

UnquestionabIy one of the greatest
opponents of the occult in the world
to-day. and the greatest on the pub
lie stage, is Miss Eva Ray, who will
fill d weeks engagement at the Or
DheUm, commencing tomorrow.
Although still young in years she
is old in wisdom and has made a

of the Hindu mystics It was her
good fortune TO spend ten years of
her girlhood in the ancient city of
Benares. India, and there by assOcia-
ton with theosOphists and other be
levers in the occult she developed
natural telepathic gift to a marked
degree.
Even before she returned with her
family to this country her powers
had attracted wide attention. not only
among the occult workers of India
but also among those of England and
this country. In fact while yet
girl of the London Society for PSychi
cal Research sent a representative
from Bombay to Benares to investigate
the work, and the report made Gre
ated much discussion among the
savants of the society. The report,

which was a very complete one, put
the stamp of approval ON her work
and she was even then recognized as
a royal mystic.
Since her return to this country
her powers have grown stronger and
her work mas broadened. She has
attained a large following in every
city she has ever visited and receives
many letters asking for aid in the so
luton of pulling questions, many of
them of vital Importance. BY those
ignorant of Occulism she is regarded
with awe, but by the select as one
who has proved the superiority of
mind over matter.

Miss Ray will be a special matinee
for women. At this performance no
men will be allowed in the house or
about the stage. It will be devoted
especially to the women admirers of
Miss Ray.
During her travels in this country
Miss Ray has been of great help to
a multitude of women, and has at
tanned a following among her sex
that probably OutnUmbers that pos
sessed by any other woman in the
country whose work is similar.

3 CHICAGOANS

The perfect bowling score of 400 was
negotiated last night by Bill Mrosek
of the Melrose team in the Glenwood
league. the total being the fourth ever
rolled in Chicago in league competi-
tion. Mroseks big total came in the
last game after he had rolled 1s1 and
1871 and all four local records went by
the board as a result.
The Melrose team reached 1912 in
the game with 800 buried in It, and
averaged the first four figure total of
the seasons records for individual and
team with .O05 for the three games.
The individual marks are the 300 and
an average of 226.
Mroseks performance IS the fourth
made In Chicago. the other 800 marks
having been made by Ben Stell, Louis
Semones and Val Seng. Mroseks work
however, surpasses the total Of the
other three, as It was made with new
pins on the opening night Of league.
