visible, the two planets shining forth bril-
liantly. The actual conjunction took place
at four O'Clock Saturday morning, and Satur-
day the separation began. The phenomenon
was an interesting and brilliant one. The
saying $50 near and yet so far" was pre-
eminently applicable to 1t. Although the

the trihing distance of 400, 900, 900 OF miles
between Venus and Jupiter; and though
Venus was seemingly the larger and certain

fraud the organization by false testimony.

the car had stopped. for each one of the

that the youngest was at least 20 years old,

latter.
She Immediately launched herself into
the cause Of the poor and oppressed, and it
is well-known TACT In London police cir
Giles that her presence in the streets will do
more TO quiet mob than officials, bayonets
and clubs.
The incident liz her life which brought
her more prominently before the eyes Of
the world was the celebrated case in which
she sued Rev. Edwyn Hoskyns for libel
10 defeat her in her election TO a certain
school board be caused hauGbIlls to be dis
tributed declaring her teachings earthly,
devilish and sensual" and charging her
with gross immortality. She conducted her
own case in such mastery style that she
won a tribute from Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn that is without parallel from
judge to prisoner in the records of English
trials. The jury disagreed, but Mrs.
Besant was subsequently elected TO the
school board.
Since her conversion to theosophy Mrs.
Besant has somewhat changed the theories
she held and expressed during the trial. At
that time she referred to the fact that DO pu-
lailon bad tendency TO Increase faster
than the means OF subsistence, and the pre-
venuon Of this should be effected by alb
stinence from marriage or Limitation OF the
family. She advocated that IL was a crime
for parents to have more children than they
could support
Her present theosophical doctrine is that
the unseen world about US is crowded with
disembodied spirits anxious 10 be incarnated
and this should be facilitated.
1t is characteristic of this warm hearted
woman that while appealing to the courts
OF justice she was at the same time begging
the public for help TO feed 10000 starving
little children attending the Tower Hamlets
schools.
In 1890 she became associated with Nine
Blavatsky, whom she succeeded.
A year or so ago she wrote for one of the
Eastern papers, and one paragraph from
an article Of hers gives a comprehen sive
idea Of the spirit which aetua;es this erratic
woman. In il she said:
''Sure am l OF this that women of the
cultured and refined classes whose purity is
guarded by the dangers of others; whose
lives are smoothed by the toll of others
whose ease is bought by the hardship of
others service are the sources of the very
culture and refinement that have come un-
sought to us. Not for ourselves, but for tn G
suffering poor are our hands filled with the
good things of life; not for selfish enjoyment
but for seiiiesS service are we lowered with
the fruits OF education and thought Only
as we spread these influences everywhere is
our true mission fulfilled. and only thus can
we lift society safely over the dangerous
transition period on which we have entered

AFTER HE WAS BEHEADED.
The Turtle damaged to Fasten His
Teeth i'm the Cooks Flesh.


Recently George White. manager of Hen
bleih's cafe, New Haven, purchased green
turtle weighing forty-nine pounds. The he ad
OF the turtle was cut off in the customary
way by the head cook, assisted by Ameda
Cledes, the second cook.
About an hour aiterward Cledes began
looking al the head, the jaws being open.
He inserted the thumb of his right hand
and the forefinPer of his left hand, running
the digits about an inch into the mouth of
the animal. Almost instantly the Jaws
closed together, imprisoning the finger and
thumb between the teeth.
Cledes cried out with pain and called to
his assistance the head cook and one or two
others present The digits between the
jaws prevented them from closing tightly
together. and gave opportunity for the in
sertion OF steel Instrument used In pulling
nails from packages. and with this the Jaws
were pried apart far enough to allow other
iron instruments TO be inserted, through
the MD Of which the jaws were finally
forced apart and Cledes' thumb and fingers
released.
The grip of the jaws was such that the
teeth nearly severed the thumb and badly
lacerated the forefiDger. The head of the
animal had been severed from the body fully
an hour before the occurrence, but compe-
tent authorities on the actions of turtles al
leges that such animals will show signs of
life from six TO twelve hours after the head
has been severed. and Ii is not an infreauent
occurrence for the jaws to open and close
for a period of six hours.

HERBERT S. HERRiCK.
One of Our Young Attorneys Fast
Coming to the Front.

Among the promising young lawyers of
San Francisco probably no one is coming
to the front as rapidly as Herbert S. Her
rick, the subject of this sketch.
From the time Of his admission to the
bar his career has been one of continued
success, and this has been owing entirely to
bis perseverance in the cases in which he
has been connected and the manful manner
in which he handled them.
Although young man comparatively,
his past record as lawyer bids fair to
bring him up among the great legal lights
Of our city.
Herbert 5. Herrick was born in San
francisco on the 10Th day of August, 1861,
and the greater part of his life has been
spent in his native State.
He is the son of 5. E. Herrick, mer-
chant formerly well known in the business
community of Sacramento, and later as a
grain broker in San Francisco.
William Herrick ,]r. received his first
schooling in the public schools of this city,
and in 1887 entered the Hastings College of
Law, having chosen the law as his future
profession IN life.
