Faystoui Find* ihe Key—Much Amusement at the Show.Frtysaoux created great excitement Mond-tv afternoon when he drove a team of horses through the crowded streets in seurvh uf a po*»c office key. which had been secreted somewhere , in the city l*y Rev. I. W. Hughes, lector of tf»** Episcopal Church, Mayor II. T. Powell, Ft. f?. McCoin and Col. Henry Perry.As 1'ajBHoux mounted the box of the carriage in which these four gentlemen were seated hesaid,keepyour minds concentrated upon the shortest way to the place where you have hidden the key.’’ Then shaking the lines they were off down main street, with a flying niob of children following dose behind. Round the corner , up Church street, then to Chestnut, |up Chestnut to Montgomery, then jdow n Montgomery to the jail. Then : Fuvswotix uncovered the kev to the4guxe of the commit tee und cheering timing. Again reaching the carriage, Fayeaoux took the linen and hastened the horses to the Pont Ottiee where from a bundle of letter?* in a Post Orficebox which he opened with the key, he extracted one letter, and again rushed down Main street to Dorsey’s Drug Store. Hasping two of the escorts’ wrists, then through the drug store to the prescription room in the rear and coming up to Mr. Dorsey he said, “this letter is for yon. Before the blind fold was taken off he was asked to whom the letter was addressed,and in a secoud he spelled the name Dorsey. This was perhaps the most marvelous piece of psychic work ever seen in the city, and the men who accompanied him on his trip through the city were very much impressed with the remarkable feat performed without the slighest hesitation on the part of Fayssonx.This drive has created more interest and excitement than any thing that has ever been seen in Henderson. Monday ufternoon would remind one of circus day, hundreds of people were so eager to see that they were on houses and telephone poles to watch the Hypnotist in his questfor the hidden kev.•After t he drive t he excited throng turned their gnz* upon the youcg man in Edwards Bros., window who had been asleep since Saturdaynight. The public's appetite was whetted bv the iuvsterv of the blind fold ride and the subject in the wm-d«*w, that it whh nut surprising to find the (Jrund Opera House filled lo its uttermost capacity both nights to witness the programme, and all through the performance the crowd was kept in an uproar of laughter.I'wychic power has always a remarkable influence upon the people at large and whilst the skeptic* are loyally in the majority before the show starts are usuully the ones at the end of the performance loudest in Us praise. Taking all in all Fays-soux show was enjoyed more and created more laughter than any thing that lias visited Henderson in years, and if he returnc in the future no doubt he will enjoy the same success.
