Zemindar's Wonderful Powers WIN Con-
vince the Most skepticaL
The fact that genuine Hindu adept
is in this city who possesses those rare
powers exercised only by the great re-
hgious brotherhoods of India will be
pleasant news to persons interested in
occult science. A Mercury reporter,
who called on the gentleman, Mr.
Sevagiri Zemindar, at 23S Fourth ave-
nue., where he is at present staying,
found the adept an extremely interest
ing parsonage.
Mr.. Zemindar is apparently not yet
over 40 years of age. He is we'll
built, youngish looking man, with
scholarly look and an expression of
the eyes which seems to be the only
physical sign of his difference from
the everyday person. Mr.. Zemindar
is a member of the II. Il. s. Brother
hood, Madras Presidency, India. lie
entered the priesthood at the age of
IS, and was for 10 years engaged in
mastering the curriculum of the order.
The principal features of these studies,
Mr.. Zemindar states, is the develop
ment of the more subtle forces of the
human organism, or what may be
termed the science of the soul. This
study leads to the acquisition Of powers
which appear mysterious to the ordin-
airy senses, but which are only the re-
suit OF knowledge of natural laws of
more delicate kind than those which
are more generally understood.
/ The order to which Mr.. Zemindar
belongs is many centuries old and pos
sesses records dating back over 4,j00
years, with traditions extending far
beyond that period.
/ According to the custom of the order
in India, MIR. Zemindar is allowed to
use his powers for the benefit of aay-
4 one who may need them for proper
purpose, for which he may charge n
small stipulated fee. He is forbidden
by the rules of the order, however, to
use his powers for the financial benefit
of himself in any other way than by
the fees for his personal services.
After a certain time Mr.. Zemindar,
whose life is devoted to the cause of
the order, will be recalled to qualify
for a higher position yet in the Brother
hood, and may perhaps not have the
opportunity to again travel and mingle
with others outside the order, as he is
now doing. Since he has been in this
country he has been called upon to ex-
ercise his powers for a good many use
full purposes, and has gratifying letters
from many well.known persons who
have profited by them.
While Mr.. Zemindar was staying in
the city a young woman called upon
him, who was anxious to discover
something about her parentage. She
was living at service with family in
Hot Springs, and there was some
romance connected with her life.
When little child she had been found
at the doorstep of poor woman in
Hot Springs, and had been adopted by
the community.
Nothing to lead TO her Identification
was found about her, except loclket
worn round the little ones neck con-
tanning the portrait of a beautiful
woman. The fact that she was richly
/ dressed led to the supposition that she
was the child of worthy parents. The
child grew up in Hot Springs without
ever learning anything about her
pasents until she called upon Zemindar.
by him she was promptly informed
that her proper name was Morton and
that her mother lived in Charleston,
=. @.
AZ find" said Zemindar, describing
her early home to her, "a richly furn-
ished house and yourself resting in a
cradle, very little child. A nurse APP
proaches, takes you from the cradle
and leaves the house with you, stealth
lily. She takes you to another city
and there leaves you at the door Of a
poor dwelling. Go TO your mother,
show her the loclset you have and she
will know You at once"
A letter from Mrs. Morton, express
sive of her deep joy and indebtedness
to Adept Zemindar announces the
happy reunion which followed upon
the young wonan's acceptance of this
advice.
The healing art is great --racticed
by the Hindu adopts. Nj emindar
has himself effected rem1 cures.
A boy, named Ingersoll, residing at
Chunchula, Ala, who was totally par
alyzed In his lower limbs for three
years, was enabled to regain the use OF
them and was restored to perfect
health by Zemindar. The order uses
no drugs whatever in bringing about
these remarkable cures. Mr.. Zemin-
dar has done many useful and wonder
full things in addition to those men
toned, and has the warm Endorsement
of those he has served by the exercise
of he powers in many strange and va
rious directions. New York Mercury.
