The Fusion Movement In Wisconsin.
Milwaukee. Wis. Sept. 5.-Fusion has
received a black eye. Judge Morrow,
chairman of the Democratic fusion
conference committee, notified the Re-
publican silver party that under no cir
Cumstances would the Democratic
state convention endorse their nominee,
Ruble A. Coole, for lieutenant govern
or. Coole is an aggressive place seek
er and he held 125 proxies in the silver
convention out of 216 votes and prac-
tically nominated himself. To pre-
vent all interference he adjourned the
convention sine die last night, after
having after a still further effort nom
mated DIR. Powell for secretary of state
against the fusion agreement.
The silver party denounce Soole in
vigorous terms. The convention has
been recalled for two o'clock this at
ternoon and Coole and Powell will no
doubt be withdrawn, and an acceptable
name for lieutenant governor be pre-
scented. The Populists are satisfied
with their share and their nominees
will meet at two o'clock to endorse
the ticket to be nominated by the Dem
ocrats this morning. The Democratic
convention was called to order at 10
o'clock and opposition was made mani
fest in number of preliminary speech
es. The delegates then proceeded to
fill out the ticket by making nominal
tions for treasurer, attorney general,
railroad commissioner, superintendent
of schools and seven presidential cleo
tors

THE PURPOSE OF THEosOPHY.
NJ. Bureham Harding's Third Lee
lure on the New Belief.

ON Inc aeW ntlACLs
The Purpose Of Theosophy'' was the
s-,.,set Of Burcham Harding's lecture last
--y7r al AIehrtens' music hall
The purpose of theosophy. Mr.. Harding
s,-s is 10 define clearly the aim of life
erI 10 point out how it can be attained.
s,r,e think the subject visionary, because
,5s society does not found colleges. hos
stalls and public baths, but at present
i-s efforts have TO be applied in more i'm
-o~fant directions. The purpose is to
e,r-ad a right philosophy or guide for
moral conduct as practical benefits win
follow when mankind is convinced of the
-a,essity Of following the dictates of
rsebt philosophy. In building an architect
r,-,vides the plan, but he does not use
,rov-el or saw himself Without a good
plan we may erect tottering structure
Tbeosophy is the architect providing a
e.ra and sure plan-it fOrmulates the right
c1--rse 10 be pursued leaving others to
adopt and build in accordance there
with
face mankind to-day. Social troubles
loom uD and call for settlement, capital
and labor are aggregateu IN opposing
~aups and the world is fun of warning
ssefs rival nations and parties Oppos-
ing each other. What is the cause, and
how does theosophy propose to remedy
these troubles. -
IN her returns one seed of corn reproduces
ifsaIf a thousand fold. Man by new inVen-
tions has increased production. The labor
OF one man aided by machinery reproduceS
a hundred fold more than formerly. Sure
II the lavish returns of nature and the in
creased production should make better
conditions for mankind for hundred
should be supplied instead Of one. Alas
such is not the case.
The cause is to be found in mans greed
or selfshness. Each individual works for
ms own agrandizement as opposed to the
interests of the community, the results be-
ing that large crops are calamity for the
grower as they bring low prices. lncreas-
ed production also lowers wages. Man
perverts the bounty of nature and makes
sufrering for himself and fellow man by
selfish folly Similarly sects fighting for
their petty interests bring trouble and dis
comfort upon those engaged in the con-
nict Rival nations Seltishly wishing to
steal their neighbors property curse them
selves by having to sustain immense arm
Mr.. Harding said the interests of labor
and capital are one, and injury to either
harms the other. DisagreementS Will
cease when their identity of interests is
recognized. The settlement will then be
Just TO both and for their mutual benefit.
Sectarian strife will cease when the COM
mon object Of all religions is admitted and
those processing Christianity inculcate
Jesus precepts. Rival nations will
abolish armies and navies when, the unity
and brotherhood of humanity is admitted.
Tonight Mr.. Harding will meet those
interested in reading and studying Theos-
ophy. Mr. Harding will give useful sug-
gestions and talk on methods of study. 1t
is his purpose TO esta blish a branch in Sa-
vannah for the study of Theosophy.
Branches have already been started in
Atlanta and Augusta.

LOT IO-nlEnls
McCarthy's Mishaps will be the attrac-
ton at the theater tonight. The piece
has been seen here before, and needs no
introduction. The company does not play
the comedy scenes-it works them and
works them hard An innocent bit of bus
mess is seized by the neck, dragged about
the stage thrown down, stamped upon
and tossed from one to another until the
actors are forced to stop for want of
breath. The fun is of the wild, knock
