Mysterious signs and muttered passwords
were made on Thursday in the Theosophi-
cal Headquarters. A special meeting of the
Theosophical Society was held. Hieraphant
Olcott sat in the Grant Orient, and Mrs
Helen H. Blavatsky was in her place as
Secretary.

branch society had been organized in Lon

hemispheres, and the society is sending out
missionaries.

The Fraudulent Lord.
The London correspondent Of the World,
L. J. Jennings, writing under date Of July

of for some years, the pretended Lord Oglevy
appears to be the most pertinacious.
He has managed to live in most of the
great towns and cities of Europe and
America on the strength of his being the
y
everywhere behind him to mark his track
heaps of dishonorcd bills and scores of de-
frauded tradesmen. At Florence he swindled
a jcweler out of fl 900. Besides hearing the
Earl of Airlie personally on the subject he
sent me the following note:
