something legitimate" Harris.
There is no doubt that the cru
SADIE begun against the Sonoma Eden
King by Miss A. A. Chevaillier has brought
about his change of views with relation TO
the marriage state. Miss Chevailller lee
tured in the Ather@um in Santa Rosa on
the night Of February 20. and aroused the
Santa Rosans to the belief that there was
immortality at Fountain Grove, as Harris
calls his estate, and that the people oil the
community there were not III for respect
able persons TO associate with.
"Vampire," "lecherous fend, murderer
of the growing mind of youth" ana nor
rible sensualst" were some of the pet names
by which Miss Chevaillier referred to
Harris in her lecture. When she had
finished her speech the people voted on the
question OF upholding her in her crusade,
and nearly all were in favor of it.
This did not please Harris. He was
afraid the Knights Templar. of which lie is
a member would eXpel him and make much
trouble for him, so he has taken every
means in his power TO disabuse the minds
OF tile Santa Rosa people as TO the charges
made against him. His espOusal of Miss
Waring Is part of his programme. and the
next move Will be, 1t is said, SANDER suit
against his detractor.
Harris is new 6S years of age and his
bride is g. Harris looks every year Of his
age, but Mrs Harris does not look more
highly educated. She is the daughter OF a
New York capitalist and Is the sister of
George &. Waring, the weil-known literary
man and architectural expect Mr.. Waring

against her living in the Harris community

AS showing what complete change in
his views Miss Chevaillier's crusade must
have worked, and what a severe shock the
news of the wedding will be to those of the
| Harris cult IN England and elsewhere. IL is
| only necessary to quote the following from
| his privately printed books, which circu-
late freely among the brethren abroad:
| Marriage Is prison whose entrance Is
through flower garden; state whose
| promise outweghs the world, and whose
| performance becomes inexpressibe misery.
| with the advance Of culture, with the
/ refinement of life, with the evolution OF
| spirituality, with the ascent of woman from
! tie chattel state and of the man from that
| of the peasant and the boor, marriage be-
| comes not more enjurable but a less en-
/ durable condition.
Doubtless one pair among myriads may
| become counterparis. drawn to unity by
| that strong attraction that makes order pos
| siUit, III us UleSSeuntSs, LOT eD0clS oil end
| less evolution. But Instances like these are
| IN the nature Of things most exceptional
| The rule is otherwise"
Harris has always claimed that his
counterpart" is The mother lily" or
| "Chrysanthea," ana that she rules the des.
! TIMES Of the world with him, they being the
divine ''two-in-one." 1t is evident from
this that his spirit Counterpart" has ma
tcriaized in Miss Waring. as he claims may
| be done. at his command. He has ma
| terialized 'counterparis" for many persons
| during his period of "primacy," and his fol-
| lowers. Of whom he boasts 1000, though
| there are not above 80 in his actual house
| hold, fully believe that he has the power
| over the ''counterparts" to which he pre-
| tends. 1t is his reckless naturalization of
''counterparts" first in one person and then
| in another that has led to the criticisms OF
| Sensuality against him.
