have mentioned any more than any short

ship IN works dictated to him for tran
scrlption. These were really given to the
world by Mr.. Fletcher aud myself, aud
from the first it was understood that they
should always be under our control. We
gave them to the White Cross Society, not
to Mr.. milford or any one else individually,
and any profit accruing from their publica-
ton belongs to the society.
On our return to Boston Milford was
told, through me, in the presence of Mr..
FOwle, that the time had come to. naugu-
rate the publication of the White Cross Lii
brary. There was no money in the treas
ury, but he was told to go ahead and write
out his notes, and by the time the manu-
script was ready for the printer means
would be at hand. About year afterward
contributions came in rapidly. A Mr. Weter-
man, printer, who. with +. j. Needham
and his wife. Photographers, had been
brought into the order by milford. volun-
teered his services at low figure 10 print
the books, Needham offering to lock after
the business of their distribution. The So
ciety published the books, not Needham or
Milford.
.'l 1t was prophesied by Mary Stuart's
spirit that within three months of the pub
LEGATION of the first number returns would
be received in inquiries and subscriptions
from every quarter of the globe. This
prophecy was literally fulfilled.

his father, that II was long time before she
could bring herself to give her consent and
the devoted son would not go without H..
When she felt that the last of her objections
had given way she let him go with her full
consent, eXacting from him only the promise
that he woud not drink and would never
allow himself to be tempted 20 gamble. The
boy gave the promise, and as he has often
said many a time ii was his only salvation,
for the life in that diamond district was one
long and exciting gambling game, aud those
who were rich in the morning were poor at
noon or beggared at night.
As many another had done before him,
he made fortune at Kimberly. and lost it
afterward by unlucky investments. After
his return to his native land, he decided
that he loved the sea too well to settle down
into life of landed gentleman so he took
the earliest opportunity to follow out his
bent for life on the bliny deep.
His advancement has been steady and
rapid Several years ago he was acting as
first officer on one of the Panama steamers,
under the late Captain Cavarley. and later
on was transferred to the China line. 1t
was not long before he found himself first
in command, and now Captain Ward is one
OF the regular features of "a trip TO China.
At least SO think all the young ladies and
lovely widows.
In appearance, Captain Ward is fine
looking. lie is very tall, and well-propor-
toned, with a ferocious muStache and
very light growth of hair. His eyes are blue,
and when not brOnzed by exposure 70 the
weather he has lovely complexion that a
girl might envy. 1t is the regret OF his
San Francisco friends that he is so seldom
in port and when in this city his duties so
occupy him that he has but little time for
social intercourse. During one of his leaves
of absence from the ship he brought his
sister to California and made her stay
among us. 1t was thoroughly enjoyable for
the young lady. who at length returned to
her home full of delight with her visit.

God and all things shall be added unto
you," said Mary Stuart ais the first and
essential truth to which the organizers of
the movement must give their implicit ad-
herence."
The next morning John Orvis, who was a
leader in the Brook Farm movement with
Emerson, Alcott George William Curtis,
Charles A. Dana, Margaret Fuller, Law
renee Oliphant and others called upon her,
and excused his visit by SAYING that the
spirit of Mary Stuart had sent him. Queen
Mary had given him Mrs. Fletcher's name
and address, and had also informed him that
another person was necessary and would be
brought to him. While they were talking

the spirit of the Queen 10 call on Mrs.
Fletcher. She tells the result of the visits
in the following language: That day /
was in trance for five hours, and while
under control Of the spirit of Mary Stuart
gave Orvis and Spear all the rules and by
laws of the new White Cross Society, and
mapped out the plan of the organization.
The officers were to consist Of spiritual
head, who was to have entire control in the
Inner circle or spiritual lodge. The inner
lodge was to be a strictly secret organiza-
ton; the outer open to all who sympathized
with its objects and fraternized with its
members. This outer lodge was to be again
divided into sections devoted to special re-
forms and to meet as body twice week.
Before separating, we three-Orvis, Spear
and myself-plpdged our allegiance to the
spirit world and our lives to the carrying out
of this particular work. Thus was the order
of the White Cross in America virtually
founded, though formal organization was
not effected until several months later.
''At this time Prentice Milford was not
only not member Of the order. but he did
not even know of any such organization as
the White Cross Society. 1t was therefore

selves voluntarily, and il approved by
Queen Mary, expressed tn rough Mrs.
Fletcher, they were admitted as members.
The study OF the laws and secrets of the
R0slcrucianS as organized was the first work
in which members were mostly interested,
and splritualistic seances were held and
phenomena were obtained through mediums
A number of the members developed occult
power. William Egllnton became a slate
writer. Some were clairvoyants and others
magnetic healers. Two or three were able
to separate or project their astral bodies to
any distance In an instant by mere effort
of the will Some men and women who
had been addicted to hard drinking, gam
were reformed through the mental forces
developed.
La 1880, Mrs. Fletcher was arrested and
thrown into prison for her connection with
the organization as its organizer and head.
1t had been her intention TO establish
branches in Paris, Rome, st. Petersburg
and Calcutta, and she claimed as coadjutors
In her work such names as those Of Jules
Meugens, a millionaire East Indian indigo
merchant; Sir William Henry Ninde, Gov
ernor-General of Demarara, and others. 1t
having been predicted that she should or
ganize White Cross Society in America,
she returned to this country after her trial.
and in May, 1882, started the movement.
After she had been in Boston about three
weeks. the spirit of Mary Stuart went to

CAPTAIN WILLIAM WARD
Es probably one of the youngest captains In
The Pacific Mail. And young as he is he is
! man who has had an adventurous life and
) checkered history, for he has had an ex-
perience that probably falls to the lot Of but
lew American boys. While yet a lad he
accompanied his father to the diam ond
EeIds at Kimberly in South Africa, and his
memory of the life in that far-away spot is
full of thrilling Incident and is marvelously
Entertaining, for the captain Is good talker
and possesses the faculty Of dramatic nara
Eion to q marked degree,
He was born In the Southern States, and
Is the only son Of q mother who fairly idol
bed him and was so 10th to let him 70 from
her, although he was to be In company Of
