A New Bernhard Story.

A little story about Sarah Bernhard that
never saw print before was related to Wash
ington Post reporter by Hon. David P.
thompson, eX-minister to Turkey, at the
Riggs house.
There is a little village in Constantinople. :"

sultan pays his devotions, that was erected

to see that royal parsonage His attend

of the greatest ceremony. The finest troops,
the flower Of the Turkish army are in attend
ance, the famous White Horse and Black
Horse cavalry, than which there are no finer
equestrian soldiery in Europe 1t all goes to
make great show, and so during the season
when tourists pour into the city one has to go
early to this house l mentioned in order to
get good place to view the spectacle as its
accommodations are limited. Strangers get
admission by tickets from the representatives
OF their various governments.
"A few weeks ago Bernhard was playing
in COnstantinOple, a rare treat in a place
where good actors seldom come. A great
many s19ht-seers were then passing through
and of course everybody wanted a look at the
sultan. Among some Americans that gave
tickets of admission was q professor from
Harvard. He had some ladies in his party
and told him about the necessity of going
early in order to preempt a seat by the win

My advice was acted on and the party secured
good seats. -t...-.
The building was full when the great
tragedienne made her appearance. On see

window and CALAMITY offered IL to her In

Where Political Reform is Needed.

! Where Political Reform is Needed.
! Rhode Island has so much trouble in
electing a governor and a legislature at
/ almost every state election on account of
her election requirements that it would
seem as if she would amend her constitu-
tion so as to avoid the bother and expense
to which she is so frequently subjected.
AT the last state election neither of the
three candidates for governor received a
majority of all the votes cast. and conse-
quently there was no choice by the
people The election was thrown into the
legislature. In quite a number Of towns,
however, there was no choice for mem
bers of the legislature, owing TO the
majority rule which prevails. New
elections were ordered aud they were
held last Thursday The result makes
the legislature a tie. The republicans
have the lieutenant governor, and he has
the casting vote, and unless something
intervenes to change the existing situa-
ton a republican will be elected governor,
Notwithstanding the fact that the demo
cratic vote at the regular state election
was much larger than the republican
vote
But the democrats have not given up
the hope Of electing a democrat. They
say there is one republican member of
the House who is not legally elected, and
they purpose to unseat him. They may
be able to accomplish their purpose and
get control of the legislature, but it is
not at all certain that they will be able
to do so. The republicans are shrewd, and
if they fail to get the governOrship it
will be because they have lost
some of their ability to get out of a tight
place successfully. The member whose
seat is to be contested, however, will
hardly be permitted to vote on his own
case, and in that event the democrats will
have a majority of one.
If Rhode Island were not such oon-
servative old commonwealth she would
repeal her Objectionable and troublesome
election laws and enact others that would
permit the election of a candidate having
the largest number of votes, whether he
received a majority or not. She is rich
and prosperous, but there are some
reforms she conld make that would be of
benefit to her.

A Corner in Reincarnations.

There is in New York a family of four
persons, three of whom believe they are
reincarnations of souls that have had pre-
vious corporeal existence, which
they claim to recall The fourth
member of the family, the mother
mother, a widowed music teacher named
Fernandez, has for years been a theoso-
phist an earnest disciple of Blavatsky
and Besant, and has brought her children
up to believe as she does. So it is alto
gether probable, indeed very likely, that
the peculiar visions" her children have
are the results of her teachings rather
than the operation of occult forces.
The eldest of this family of theosophist
children is girl of 18 She claims that
she remembers playing, as a child, on
another planet. tits one of the theories
of theosophy that the planets are in
habited and that the souls of the dead
on one sphere reappear in the DO lies of
the living on the same or on another
sphere, as the case may be. The young
lady has been taught this theory and has
come to believe it to be trua She has
day dreams flights OF imlgination-ls
all young folks have. and believes them
to be visions of a former life.
The elder of her brothers, a child of
10 years, is in the habit of lying on a couch
and having visions" He reads the
'Blagavad-Gita," a book which describes
the conflict between the higher and the
lower life" Its name and purpose are
suggestive of visions, " and it is not sur
~ a-C1A
such book should develop an abnormal
imagination and "see things" Recently
he saw himself leading an army in battle.
He described the field, the maneuvers;
how he was killed and borne at the head
of retreating army through various
streets, which were recognized by his
mother as being certain streets in Havana,
where she had lived The description was
that of the battle of Waterloo and the
wounded soldier was taken through the
streets of Havana! Yet the mother be-
lieves the ''vision' proves that her boy is
the rcincarnation of some gallant officer
killed in battle.
The youngest of the reincarnated chill
dren is years old His disposition is
similar to that Of brother who died
before he was born He looks like this
dead brother, talks like him, has d tenn
per like him, and says he recognizes play
things that belonged to the dead boy as
things he played with in previous life.
These things convince the mother that
she has given birth to two bodies inhab-
tied by the self-same soul. A more easily
accepted explanation is that the similar
ity between the children was merely
curious illustration of prenatal influence.
and that the character of the living boy
has been nodded by the beliefs of the
mother
However, this extraordinary family of
theosophists are law-abiding citizens,
consequently they have right to see
visions and believe as they please.
