LONDON. Oct. 1.-THE past week has
been cold and stormy, seriously interfering
with outdoor exercise and amusement. The
Prince and Princess of wales, with the
Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark,
their daughter and son-in-law, were in
town towards the end of the week, but
most of the fashionables remained in the
country
The band of eight American theosophists
who started out te make a crusade extend
ing over the world are just finishing the
continent, and will next be heard from at
the pyramids in ancient Egypt, which they
will explore. According to a report received
by theosophists of this city, the Ameri-
cans have met with marked success. The
society in Europe has Lever been as strong
as III America, and in many of the large
cities no organization existed among the
few thsosophists who dwelt there. The
crusaders report that they have not Wis
tied a single city without making enough
converts to organize a branch, and that
where there were branches already ex-
listing the membership has doubled and
trebled. Mrs. Tingley, the leader of the
crusaders, is reported by her friends to be
a second Blavatsky, and 1T is said that
there is no end to the remarkable things
constantly occurring. She is credited with
knowing all about every town in advance,
without ever having been there, and of
being able to prophesy how many converts
will be made at each stop and of being
able even to describe their personal ap-
pearance. The theosophists in Holland
were very anxious that their country
should be represented by a stone in the
cornerstone of the Occult College, soon to
be built in America. This cornerstone is
to be made up OF stones from various coun-
tries, to be fitted piecemeal, and it is neceS-
sary that the component parts be of a GER
tain shape and hardness. TO find a stone
of any Kind in Holland is like finding a
four-leaved clover, but Mrs. Tingley, it is
said, hired a conveyance and drove some
ten miles out of Amsterdam straight to a
spot where a single stone was found. 1t
answered every requirement, and will
shortly be shipped to America. On the
whole, the crusaders have no reason to
complain of their reception in Europe.
