bisher, who fought against the Spanish ar
mada. Educated at Harrow, and specially
trained with view to entering the dplo-
matte service, he spent time in travel and
observation in the English colonies, India
and Australia, the outcome of. which was a
decided disinclinationr for, the service he had
contemplated. Returning to- England. he took
up the study of the law became a barrister
and was admitted member of the Middle
Temple. Theosophy attracted him. and after
thorough examination of it's teachings he not
only accepted them with enthusiasm, but
devoted himself to aiding very effectively in
propagandism. In April, 1894, he came over
as delegate to the annual convention of that
year and delivered a number of lectures on
his way across the continent and up the Pa
cific coast as far as Seattle. During nearly a
year now he has been permanently located
here has taken out his first papers as an
American citizen and regards himself as
settled in the field of his life work for the
osophy. He is a charming public speaker,
logical, earnest. convincing, with pleasing
diction and most effective and musical
voice. And he is one of the ablest writer's in
the theosophic ranks, as is evidenced by his
many noteworthy articles in The PATH vahan
and Lucifer. He stands six feet two inches
in height and is not really quite so young as
his handsome, smoothly-shaven face makes
him appear. Courtesy, kindliness and a
warmth of personal magnetism, of which none
brought in contact with him can be uncon-
conscious, add to his peculiar qualifications
for leadership.
E. Aug. Neresheimer, elected vice presi-
dent and treasurer of the society has long
been valued member of the executive COM
mittee and is a man of much energy and
force of character. He is a Bavarian by
birth, but an American citizen by adoption
these many years and is one of the most
prominent of the diamond importers and
merchants of New York. His interest in
theosophy was awakened through reading
Sipnett's "Esoteric Buddhism" in 1886, but it
was not until 1889, when daily newspaper
went out of its way to print an abusive and
mendacious article about theosOphists, that

Of the delegates from the tTheosophical

FROZEN TO THE RAIL.

What is by long odds the best hunting story
OF the season comes from st. Regis, and the
section foreman. Nels Thompson, who looks
after the Snake track at that place. is the
hero, says the Anaconda (Mont.) Standard.
1t is probably the first case of it's kind on
record, and establishes an interesting prece-
dent in the killing of wildcats.
One monring as Thompson and his gang of
Scandinavians were pumping their hand-car
along the track on their way to work. which
that day was along the clay bluffs east of st.
Regis, they were startled by the angry snarl-
ing of a wildcat ahead of them. They slowed
up the car as they rounded the bluff, and a
strange sight greeted their eyes. The morn
ing was bitterly cold and a fringe of ice
bordered the banks of the st. Regis river,
which rushed along just below the track

himself. He was fastened firmly to one of

Every man should bear his own burden"
Cal: vi. g.
Chicago is experimenting; trying to learn
how to consume the smoke from her immense
factories, so that it will have no chance to
leave the chimneys to pollute the air and
blacken the edifces. What an infinite bless
ing it would be If each person, like the city
of Chicago, decided to burn his own smoke!
Everybody has smoke to burn. Troubles,
worries, disappointments, anxieties and sor-
row come to all. There is no favored class
in this respect. The rich and the poor, the
good and the bad, the great and the lowly,
alike know the depressions that result from
the dark and hard experiences of life. Now,
when out of sorts or in the slough of
despond, what shall we do? Pour forth our
smoke, filling the atmosphere with the de-
pressing and noxious vapor of our life?
Complain of lot, recounting our several
Affections, piling up our woes in domes
black as a dreary night, and as chilling?
Or shall we consume our smoke, trying faith
fully and bravely to obey the injunction of
the text, and bear our own burdens of pain
and disappointment and doubt? Any per-
son will burn his own smoke when he re-
fleets on the benefits of such course.
First, it will make US healthier. The men
and women and children who brood over the
wrongs done them, who worry about tribes,
who sit detected in the center Of a staring
circle of grefs, who borrow troubles-people
of this type are never well. Seven out of ten
will have the dyspepsia. Mental sourness ends
as surely in stomach sourness as mental If
ritablity ends in nervous prostration.
Nothing more surely cuts away and under
mines the vital forces than worry and anxiety,
however caused, and the violent passions, such
as temper, hatred, grief and fear" He then
who would have health and keep 1t through
the year must learn early how to burn his
own smoke how to keep cheerful, hopeful
mind and spirit under all circumstances.
But there is something more precious even
than. health, which everybody desires-some-
thing that health does not always give nor
disease always take away-tranquility! Can
he who is constantly emitting his own smoke,
forever talking about his trials and troubles
and doubts can that man hope to attain a
peaceful spirit? AS well might a man thrust
his hand in the flames and expect no sharp
pain as to harbor in his mind all manner of
embittering and darksome thoughts, and ex-
pect the peace of thought to possess his soul.
Open the windows at night and the bats fly
in; live your life in the shadows, and you will
be haunted and narrowed by apparitions They
who seek tranquility must accustom them
selves to preparing place for it to abide.
This dove sent from heaven is constantly hov-
ering over our lives, but their waters are toos
troubled for it to alight and make its home
with us.
A man should not only wish to be healthy
and peaceful, but he should earnestly long

A CURIOUS PEOPLE
That Live in the Carpathian Noun
tains of GaIicia.


In the Carpathian Mountains of Galicia
dwells primitive Slavic people called the
Huzulen, which is nominally Roman Cath
olic. Everywhere one comes across wooden
crosses erected over buried brandy bottles
In 1894 Brandy prophet" appeared; he
was simple peasant, who waged a success
full warfare against brandy drinking. The
zeal of the people constrained the clergy to
bury the spirit with ceremonies; and now the
use of brandy has ceased, and at present only
those drink brandy who are worth nothing
A gypsy, who had sent his wife away bought
the daughter of Huzulen for 80 forms; he
was reproved by the magistrate, but that had
no effect. In year he was tired Of her. and
then he hired the wife of another Huzulen
for 60 forms; again the law was powerless,
and at the end of the year the husband came
for his wife. There are two remedies for
is for the priest to walk on
the patients back in church, and the other is
to let bear walk on it. Weasels, snakes,
frogs, puppies and kittens may not be killed,
and there are numerous charms against the
first two. For three days before the Huzulen
moves into new house he throws black
hen on 1t, so that snakes may not nest there.
Black cattle are lucky. The mentioning Of
certain words for simmering and boiling is
should come to the cows. The gravediggers
and coffinmakers wash their hands over
grave to signify that they are not to blame
for the sorrow, and the relatives ask the lat
ter not to be angry with the dead for the
trouble he has caused them, and not to ask
for payment from him in the next world.

THEosopHY,s NEW LEADER.
Annual Convention and the Outlook
According to One of It's Adhe-

rents.
Special Correspondence of The Globe.
NEW YORK, April 23.-fThe Rrecent death
of the leading theosophist of this country,
w. Q. Judge, did not seem to cast any shadow
over the annual convention of the Theosoph-
lcai society In America, held in Madison
Square Garden on the 26th and 9th insts.
Speakers referred to the bereavement the So
ciety had suffered-Mr. Judge having been it's
president-but in a way that demonstrated not
simply philosophic acceptance of the newt
able so much as recognition that he had
passed from the corporeal estate of existence
to well-earned Karmic reward of rest for
time, that others might take up his work
where he left it and advance 1t with yet great
er success In other words his death was
looked upon as marking an evolutionary step
in the progress of the movement, which will
now have the impetus of new forces.
1t was generally expected among theoso-
phists that Mr.. Judges successor in the presi-
dency would be DIR. j. d. Buck, of Cincinnati,
vice president of the society," or Claude Falls
Wright, one of the ablest theosophic lecturers,
who has been indefatigable in his service to
the cause and actually filled the place of the
president since his demise. But Mr.. Buck,
who presided over the convention, he has
over every one since 1875, himself nominated
for the presidency Ernest Temple Hargrove,
and the nomination seconded by Mr..
Wright who in the new disposition of af-
fairs has been assigned to other duties not
less important than public leadership. Fur
thermore, 1t was made known, with unques-
toned authority, that Mr.. Judge had expressed
strongly his wish that Mr.. Hargrove should
succeed him. Under these circumstances the
230 delegates present, representing SO branches
in all parts of the country ratified the selec-
ton without any dissent.

of James Sidney Hargrove, one of Londons
best known solicitors, and is on his mothers

PERIL OF TWO GIRLS,
They Were Plunged Into the
Bay by the Capsizing of
a Boat.
Attorney Robert II Morrow Comes
to the Rescue in the Very Nick
of Time.

By the GOODNESS and forethought of
Robert A. Morrow, young attorney To-
Gated in the Crocker building, two young
society ladies of this City were rescued
from what in ali probability would have
been watery grave.
The TWO young ladies in question, Miss
b. Minette and Miss isabel Hitchcock, ac-
G ompanied by Morrow, who is captain of
the sIoop Yacht Pride of the Bay, and
Thomas Merrill, boarded the yacht yester-
day for pleasure excursion.
Near Tamalpais the yacht was anchored,
with the intention of the party em bark
ing In the small boat. Merrill got into
the boat first, followed by Miss Minette.
Morrow and Miss hitchcock stepped
in to the boat at the same time, and their
combined weight on one side of the small
craft was sufficient to capsize it, All the
party were plunged into the water in q
twinkling.
Merrill. who is unable to swim stroke,
managed to Chamber upon the keel of the
overturned skiff. The two ladies remained
struggling in the water.
Incumbered by his wearing apparel as
he was. Morrow swan to where Miss
Minette was endeavoring to keep af1oat
and handed her rope thrown out by Mer-
rill. who had regained the yacht. Then he
struck ont for Miss Hitchcock and reached
her as she was about to sink for the third
time.
Nearly exhausted, the youthful attorney
reached the side of the vessel, where he
was relieved of his charge.
Both young ladies were at once taken
upon the ark Linda, stationed near by,
where they were properly cared for by
members of their own sex.
Beyond slight cold contracted by his
dip in the cold waters of the bay, Morrow
is none the worse for his heroic adventure.

loving dispatch to THE CALL:

fight with Davis. He trained in Stockton for
his bout with Corrigan on July 4 and has q
number of friends here. He was on his way to
Sisson and Soda Springs, where he intended
to pend month, but tonight his plans have
ben changed somewhat, and he telegraphed
hisconsent to sign al ticles TO fight Jeffries on
September g in San Francisco.
Van Buskirk may remain here for time and
tran at the baths, as he found them an ideal
place for work when reducing for his fight
fore the Colma Club. Van Buskirk has been
off9ed $500 or so per cent of the receipts.
