KITTY, THE ADEPT.

Mrs IFFY- -T4aGLEY, IL Is NOW made
public, is the "adept" who is to succeed
the late WILLIAM @. JUDGE, who succeed
ed the late Nine. BLAvATsKy,as master OF
the esoteric section of the Theosophists.
KITTY's identity, according to the wish
OF JUDGE, was to have remained secret
with the Inner Circle for one year after
his death. But the newspaper reporters
in New York began to run down the Sc
cret, evidencing much rivalry in the effort
to be the first to annouee the right
name, and SO 1t was thought best in the
Inner Circle to announce the choice of
the Mahatmas and Sc get ahead OF the
ever vigilant press.
Mrs. KITTY is described by the Theoso-
phical authorities as fat and about 40.
Her face is kindly and pure. 1t is very
strong face, a face of one who has suffer-
ed. She is fairly tall, stoutly built. with
hoh-Btny hoiit WhiSh 10 uiSsoou plHiniy,
with something about her movement,
about her walking, her sitting, that is
striking. She is graceful She has per.
feet balance. And her eyes are remark
able. They ara brown eyes. They are
large, brown eyes, which vary. Some
peoples eyes look like oysters all the
time. Others have lie in them. Her eyes
are full OF life, They vary, too, some-
times they are larger and sometimes small
ler. She 10 a woman of indomitable cour-
age, OF utter fearlessness; and. once be-
lieviag that thing is right she would
not bulge an INCH II the whole country
was bowling at her heels. She is wo-
man of immense resources, with high
forehead and big brain. That's the opin-
ion of the Inner Circle.
OF course she is reincarnation, al
though who she was the last time she
was on earth is not known. Some day
she may be Mahatma. The announce
ment OF her election sets the Thecsoph-
lists up In business again.

This week the Baptists hold their 72d
annual convention at Asbury Park, and
it is expected that upwards Of two thou.
sand representative members of that de-
nomination win participate in the deib-
erations.
The convention calls TO mind two in
teresting pecufiarities OF such gatherings
OF Bapitsts. One is that only the million
or so Baptists who live north of Mason
and Dixon's line are represented in the
convention, and the other is that most
any Baptist in gooc standing may have a
seat and vote. Both these features strongly
contrast the convention TO that OF our
Cleveland, where the northern and south
ern branches are united, and where church
politics are as finely cultivated as are
any politics in the world,"the matter OF
properly accredited delegates being at the
very foundation.
There are more white Baptists in the
South than in the North, perhaps several
hundred thousand more. Perhaps this
weeks convention will take steps to unite
the two sections. They were parted by
the slavery question as far back as 1Sl5
There are more negro Baptists in the
Southern states than white Baptists,
either north or south--perbaps more than
million and half OF colored Baptists
all told.
Although the Baptist brethren and sis
ters who attend the anniversaries OF the
many Baptist societies and organizations
that are conspicuous feature OF conven-
tion week are supposed to be delegates
duly appointed by the respective church
bodies, as a matter OF fact only a small
proportion OF the churches appoint repre-
sentatives, and credentials are not esteem
ed as prerequisites to seat. The right
OF those who take part to vote on any
question Is rarely questioned and the ses-
sions are In fact more like mass meetings
than legislative bodies such as control the
affairs of the Methodist and Episcopal
churches. But there has never been given
any reason to believe that the free and
easy Baptist method has resulted in any
thing but good to the chucrh body as a
whole.

What Secretary Bowling Said.

SnlcagO IrlDune.
Ex-Gov. ID. Russell Brown of Rhode
Island has formerly announced his can
didacy for the Republican vice. Presiden-
tial nomination.
The ex-Governor's name has been fire.
quently mentioned OF late in this connec-
tion, but no authoritative announcement
Of his candidacy has heretofore been
made. the announcement came through
q letter from him to NJ. j. Dowling, Sec
retary OF the National Republ blican League.
He says he IL In the race, and expresses
confidence in his ability to pull down the
prize.
Mr.. Bowling, who has recently re-
turned from trip throughout the North
west, says there Is an interesting and
complicated condition Of affairs existing
in Oregon where elections occur next
month. There ara two factions in the
Republican party. headed respectively by
the State Republican committee which
favors silver, and the league Organization
which stands for honest money. In the
state convention the league came out
ahead, and the delegates TO st. Louis were
instructed to vote accordingly.

It Was Started at Cleveland, Ohio.
Portsmouth Post

PROVIDENCE, May 1.-The, decided
turn in national politics and in favor of
Mckinley leaves the Rhode Island delega-
tion to the St. Louis convention in rather
an embarrassing position. At the time
the convention was held in this city
forsthe election of delegates, the Reed
boom was .vigorus and was apparently des-
tined TO wax stronger. Ii was announced
at that time that the delegation was
pledged to Reed, but such was not actu-
ally the case. The delegation was not
instructed by the convention whom to
support, but there was a tacit under
standing that the vote of the State would
as there was any show for him to secure
the nomination.
Rhode Island, by this intentional me-
gIect to instruct her delegates, actually
made the first break In the Reed boom
and set pace for the others TO follow,
and since then the Mckinley boom has
grown until it is practically conceded by
Mckinley will receive the nomination,
perhaps on the first ballot.
1t can be authoritatively stated that
Rhode Island still icks to her agree
ment TO back up Reed. and that that
policy will DO adhered to as long as the
delegation from Maine asks for that sup.
port.
There is no talk OF second choice,
and none will be heard until Reed Is de-
clared by his workers at st. Louis to be
out OF the race; then the delegation will
be swung over to the candidate who will
best serve his country and his party's
end.
1t Is not believed that of the last mo-
mont the Rhode Island delegation will de-
cline TO come over to the son OF Ohio II
the Mckinley wave is sweeping over the
convention. ana as the State Is well dow n
in the alphabetical list It will be quite
easy TO get In the wash of that wave.
The vice presidential question is grow.
ing TO be an interesting subject in this
State. There was a time when the sug-
gestion that Rhode Island might get the
second place on the national ticket caused
audible smiles; but Ex-Governor Brown IL
IN earnest He has unequovically an.
ncunced that he is a candidate for and
will accept the nomination for the vice

June. when attending the convention oi

delegate and as state vice. president OF the
league. he was accorded the distinct honor
of making the opening address at mon
ster mass meeting. He announced his
views as a publican business man In
favor OF protcction and sound currency.
Fis sreecb went out all over the country
and was warmly endorsed. Immediately
he was spt1<en Of ss New England's
choice for the presidency. He be-

character, challenges the closest scrutiny

II Is q legitimate act OF war, the en-
barge placed by General wEyLER on the
expectation OF tobacco from Cuba to the
United States.
The reasons therefor are twofold. In
the fret place, the war has made tobacco
scarce. II II is scarce in the factories at
Havana, men Will be thrown out Of work
and many such would be likely to join
the insurgent forces. Moreover, the ex.
portation OF tobacco keeps employed in
the New York factories some 10000
Cubans, whose contributions to the fund
OF the junta Is an important percentage
OF tho available war funds. Accordingly
the embargo will help to keep Cubans
employed at home, where they will be
safely located and 20 throw Cubans in
New York out OF work and so reduce
the iunta's resources.
The embargo is legitimate military
expecient. But neither Il nor any
other step that seems possible OF under.
taxing can long postpone the triumph Of
the Cuban patriots

Solid for Reed.

Governor ID. Russell Brown of Rhode
Island who was born at Manchester
Green, replied "Yes'' to a telegram sent
him few days ago by the New York
Journal asking II he would accept the
nomination for vice-president in the
event of Mckinley being nom mated for
president by the st. Louis convention.
This was signal for the Providence re-
porters to start on Governor Browns
trail. In an interview with one Of them
the Governor admitted he would like to
be vice-president but said he did not
wish TO be construed to mean he was
against Reed. 81 think" said Governor
Brown, "Reed should be New England's
first choice. and I would work for him
were he nominated"

The demonstrations OF the annihiiation
OF time and space by the senoing of tele-
graph messages all over the world from the
Electrical exhibition in New YORK We're
the most extensive that have ever been
undertaken. The invention OF instru-
ments and the construction OF the vast
system of telegraph lines and cables
which make these remarkable feats possi-
bic have all been the work OF scarcely
more than 90 years, ana large p,rtion
OF it, OF the last dozen years, while that
portion OF the circuit between New York
and Buffalo was energized with electricity
generated by Niagara Fells at the plant
OF the new Cataract Generator Company.
No better illustration OF the worlds
progress during the latter half OF the 18th
century could possibly have been devised.
The very men who handled the messages
In tho hall were older than the science OF
which they are the masters, and there
were many present who remember the oc-
casion of the sending of Morse's world
famous first message: "what hath God
wrought"
The instruments used were of the latest
Postal Telegraph pattern, with alumi-
IL.
mounted on an ebony base and will be
presented TO the Smithsoniep Institute in
Washington, together with attested re-
cords as to the time occupied in trans
mitting the message. THESE will be care
fully preserved by the Smithsonian Insti-
tute as evidence to future generations OF
the advanced state OF electrical science in
this year OF 1896. 1t Is not at all improb-
able though, in the light of recent pro-
gress, that future generations will only
point to them to show how slow was this
generationl
OF the several transmissions, the fastest
time made was with message sent over
the wires of the Postal Telegraph Cable
Company-the ASSOCIATED Press wires
President ALBERT Il. CHANDLER of the
company acted as sending operator, and
started the message on its long journey
over the system at s:3i o'clock.
THOMAS A. EDISON, who in his younger
days was also telegraph operator, receiv-
ed the message when it came back, hand
ing copy in his own beautiful hand
writing to Mr.. ADAMS, at S:3s O'Clock,
the time occupied in carrying the mes
sage over $4,000 miles of part of the

Ex-Gov. Brown Loyal to Reed.
The Now York Sun.

Iho New YORK Sun.
To THE EDITOR OF THE 6UN-SIR:
Permit me to dissent from an assertion IN
a Washington despatch In this mornings
Sun TO the effect that ex-Goy. Brown OF
Rhode Island is a candidate for vice Pres
ident on the Republican ticket as part
"of a plan to break down the Reed
strength in Rhode Island" have per-
sonal knowledge that ex-Gov. Brown Is
candidacy for vice. President Is in no way
part OF plan to break down Mr.. Reed =
strength. Rhode Islands delegates,
though uninstructed, are expected 10
vote for Reed, and will vote for him as
long as there is any chance for his nomi-
nation. They will probably follow Mas
sachusetts in this matter, but where they
will 60 in case Reeds nomination Is
found to be impossible is by nc means
certain.
Gov. Brown is a candidate for the vice.
Presidency, but only I'm the event OF the
nomination for the Presidency going
West. II that occurs he VIII come for
ward as the New England candidate, and
not merely as Rhode Islander. New
England's delegates will doubtless ask
for his nomination, believing that this
part of the country should be- recognized
on the ticket, especially IL ex-Gov. Rus
sell of Massachusetts Is to be the Dem o.
cratic nominee for the Presidency. But
Gov. Brown and Rhode Island are loyal
to Reed. There 10 absolutely no alliance
with Mckinley. A. B.
