A WONDERFUL POWER.
Curious Manifestations of a Georg'a
Gill.
Z Reporter's Account of Her Perform
ances.
Several Georgia papers having recently
published accounts of the alb-gal strange
P< overs [kiss ssed by Miss Lula Hurst, a girl
living with her parents near Cedartown, Ga.,
the Atlanta Constitution sent one of its staff
to investigate the matter. The Constitution
representative saw the young lady at her
home, and sent to his pa;er the following ex
traordinary account of his visit:
Lula Hurst is one of the most singular
looking gji ls I ever
She has the strangest look in her dark
brown eyes that ] ever encountered. It
needed no reco le lion of her mysterious
p. >wer to completely awe me whenever those
untathomable orbs threw their weird fires
into mine.
In fact, I think I lost five pounds of flesh
every time I caught that girl looking at me
The neighbors had told me she was an un
sophi-te ated country girl.
1 couldn’t se<? it.
Away aroun 1 in the corners of her eves I
could see lurking just the strangest expres
sion I ever saw.
IL r father told me she always took delight
in mvstifying folks. My opinion is that her
father doesn t understand her any more than
the alleged scientists understand the rose
tinted sunsets at West End.
Freeman, of the Cedartown Advertiser
and I under, of the Rome Courier, have both
staked their sacred honor on Lulu Hurst's
I eauty. It takes a rather gallant manto
make up such a verdict. She is fifteen vears
old. tmu udly large for her ape, and her
wrist s are as big as those of a good-sized man.
Instead of a handsome and willowy figure I
found that she was inclined to be somewhat
round shouldered, and her frame seemed to be
remarkable more for its weli-developedmus
cl -s t han for any statue-like beauties. In
‘■Wa I, of de'icately-ehiseled features and n
sun .ike alal ader. as the enthusiastic one
had told me she jos-essed, I found high cherk
bones and a face with a considerable amount
" color in it. Her nut-brown hair, stiff and
II n illy, hung loosely from her head, its wild
f edorn checked only by a blue ribbon bow
fastened in some wav on the top of her hea l
Her hair reached slightly below her shou’-
d is, and heightened the awe-inspiring effe t
o her eves and high cheek bones. She
dressed p.amly to a I- markable degree-and,
m Iced, she seems to be regardless of herper
so:-al appearance. She is five feet three
inches in height.
This is what Miss Lula told me about the
beginning of the mystery:
"line night about two months ago I was
Sleeping with my mother in my room. We

Her father and mother and Mr. Ponde
and mvsell were in the room at the tnn
with fhe young lady.
Mr Hurst laid an ordinary cuair upo
the floor on its back. "Lulu, vou put you

The young lady stooped down, put the tic
of two of her fingers to the back of th
chair and immediately the piece of turn
ture lK)gau to I a k around the room at
ei\ tate as if slid along by some unset?
power.
The chair was then stood up and Mr
Fonder and 1 were asked to hold it on th
flow, lender took one side and I took th
other. R e put our whole force to work t
,i? ‘V’ 111 ' Miss Hurst placed the palm
of her hands on the back of the chair, an<
it was soon flying around the room, over
{lowering lx>th of us. creating a big stir an
nearly knocking usdown.
Miss Hurst then took the chair and place,
both hau ls un ier the perforated bottom witl
her palms upjs rmost. She took no h >ld oi
it, but simply let it ret on her hands as i
servant might Lave carried a waiter of flow
ers. Thus the legs of the chair were abou
three feet from the floor and the seat abou
four and a half. Pon ler and I attempted t<
put it on the floor, using all our might ant
strength to do so, but the chair would not
down. It continued to ri-c and fly around ii
the air with the newspaper men swing+nr
at each side. Mr. Hurst, a man weighlm
n ar two hundred pounds.then got up into thi
chair and sat there as calmly as if he were i
boy sitting on a gate ]>ost. Thus Miss Hurs

of two barrels of flour. It was indeed a-ton
ishing, especially in view of th • fact that no
a muscle twi he 1 an<i the sl.ghest flush did
not mantle her cheeks. She was as calm anc
unconcerned as if she had been twirling t
summer hat by a string.
“Does it not tire you:’’ I asked.
“Not at all,' she replied.
“ Do you feel any peculiar sensations?”
“None whatever.”
“ Doesn't it strain you?”
“ Indeed, if this were a cane-bottom chair
you would n it see the slightest strain on th<
delicate canes.”
What do you think about it?”
“ I don't know a ivthiug about it,”
I took a heavy hi kory walking-stick, and
caught it near one end. Mr. J. N. Brown oi
Chattanooga, might beside me ; Mr. J W
Hinton, of >oial C rcle, and Mr. B. M. Cor

There is no doubt of one thing, and 1 men
tion it briefly for the benefit of those who
may choose to study the matter, and that i
this: M hatever inanimate object she touched
appeared to De charged with a force that im
pelled it to move, and that, too, most vigor
ously', and always from her, and with an ir
resistible force. Her touch has no effect on
animate objects.
Mr. Hurst and his wife have grown very
enthusiastic over their daughter s powers,
and pr.qiose to take her on the read if she

Georgia Thejieople are talking of hardly
anything beside the wonderful Lulu. The
spiritualists are beginning to Hock to the
scene and to write to her father and mother,
and it may be that a few more weeks wit
find her a full-fledged medium. A gentlemat
who is neither a spiritualist nor scientist sug
gests that perhaps Miss Lulu's powers were
developed by the same causes that produced
the rosy sunsets, as they are conternporan
eons, and that they will" both take their de
parture together. The negroes in Ce far val
ley are afi a d of the young lady, and great
alarm has taken possession of many of them
who think she lias power to cause their death
at will.
Some local wi-e.vres accredit her with ani
mal magnetism, others elet tricity, and still
others the ‘‘odic influence" developed. Fot
my r own part I have not made up my verdict

Some three months ago, says a Denver

bright, winsome little girl ten years old, was

a ranche ten miles from Ouray, a small min

Saturday morning little Rose suddenly
died, and was buried bv Cuddihie in a distant

cruelly treated from the first, the neighbors
said, and her mvsterious death and hurried
burial aroused their suspicions. The coroner
at (>uray was notified. He immediate y re

humed the body, when unmistakable ev,-
dences of her cruel death were revealed. The
body was covere 1 with knife w-ounds, one
leg was broken, the skull crushed and limbs
frozen. She had no doubt ben driven out
in the winter to die. Cuddihie and wife were

Four men were killed and seven were in

Much destitution prevails among the Penn

Havemeyer’s famous farm at Norwalk

7s'em as before the method was used. The
attle, he said, were also healthier. A reso
ution was passed requesting the agricultural
department to make an analysis todetermine
the comparative value of the qualities of the
nilk from ensilage and ordinary fed cows
Professor J. P. Edwards, of Randolph, N
A., said that he fed sixty cows on nothing
but ensilage maize, and that they gave better
milk and were in better condition than ever
be'ore.
Mr. Mayer, on behalf of Mr. Havemeyer.
invited the congress to visit his farm in Nor
walk and inspect the silos and cattle. A
arge number acceptai the invitation. The
congress then adjourned for one year.
