Glorious Prophecy for Ireland.

London. Aug. 1G.-The little band of
American crusaders for theosophy is re-
ceiving considerable attention III the col
umnS of the English newspapers and has
given the Irish press an entirely new
theme for discussion.
Shortly after landing the Americans
uttered Il prophecy that ireland was soon
TO become the ruler of Europe. and that
the ancient glOrcS of that mystic island
would be restored; also that the Theoso-
phists proposed to establish branch of
the proposed American college of oc-
cultiSm thcr"
The Irish newspapers are evidently
pleased with the idea and some of the
principal papers of Dublin and elsewhere
have thrown open their columns for its
discussion.
The crusaders have certainly proven
surprise. When it was at first announced
that eight Americans were going to in
stitutc Il crusade which would not stop
until the globe had been girded. it was
not considered seriously. But what the
party lacks in number it makes up in
theOSophical strength. Arriving at
London the little party engaged the
queens hall and held meeting there.
The women sat on the stage in flowing
white robes and the men III evening dress.
This meeting was followed by an inven-
ton called Il "BrOtherhOOd supper" held
in the slums. Socialists. anarchists, dock
labOrcrs. outcasts and the poor generally
were served with hearty meal-thc first
many of them had partaken of in months
and then afterwards were given Il talk

The same thing was done in the slums
