Germany SEEKING Trouble.

The belief is prevalent at Zanzibar,
that Germany does not intend to aqui-
esce in the action taken by the British
government through Rear Admiral
Henry Rawson in appointing Hamoud
Bin Hohammed Bin Said, sultan Of
Zanzibar. Said Kha!id, the alleged
usurper, has been at the German con-
sulate ever since the fall of the palace
on August n, and in spite of the
request of the British consul for his
surrender there has been no manifesto
ton on the part OF the German officials
to give him up. Rumors are now in
circulation at Zanzibar that it is the
intention of the German authorities to
reinstate Said Khalia on the throne
from which he was deposed by force OF
British arms. These rumors have
caused great uneasiness at Zanzibar.
There is feeling that Germany is not
acting in friendly spirit and is seek
ing to, make AL issue with Great
Britain.

T.ndy Of +, j. Delbritl e Found.

The body Of L. j. Delbriage, a
vo1ng business man Of high social
nu,l commercial standing Of Atlanta,
Ca, Who disappeared Tuesday, Was
found Friday morning floating on the
surface of the old water works reser-
voir at Lakewood park. Delbridge
was last seen as he entered boat to
take bath in the reservoir at a late
hour Tuesday night. The next morn
ing the boat was found empty and his
clothes were discovered in the bath
house. He had recently taken out
life insurance policies aggregating over
$4,000, and this, together with the
fact that his body was not found after
the two days search, gave currency
to the theory that he had simply dis
appeared, a theory which grew into a
public conviction until disposed of by
the rising OF tie body to the surface
Friday morning.

"A Novel Suit.

Mini Bertini Humphreys, the prim
donna who has been sin ging at til
Tivoli, in San Francisco, CAL, during
the grand opera season, sued Wells,
Fargo e Co. Friday in the justice
court for $40. On July % she sent
$3.50 to the Union Dime Savings lnsti-
tute in New York City. When the
sealed bag was received at the bank
only $3.50 was found in it. The money
was counted and put in the bag in the
presence Of clerk in Wells, Fargo's
office in San Francisco and by him the
package was sealed. The company
denied that there had been any loss
and conducted weighty experiment,
showing that the gold coin in the bag
amounted to only $3.50. This will be
used as proof on the prima donna's
side, however, rs beside the sold there
was a $40 bill in the package and this
weighed almost nothing. She has q
receipt from the compauy's clerk tor
$3.50.

An Unknown Man of Great
Power May Lead the Es-

SECRECY OF HIS IDENTITY
Peculiar Qualifications Required for
the Head of the Wonderful
Society.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 18.-The
Theosophical Society in America will hold
its annual conclave in New York City,
April 26. The convention will be the
most important in the history of the or
ganizction. The announcement that the
meeting will take place in New York will
prove surprise, as several weeks ago an
off cial notice was sent to all the branches
naming Chicago as the place. The chan ge
was made for a peculiar reason. 1t was
the result of the request by mysterious
adept in the society. whose existence had
been unsuspected, and who made known
his wish in communication to the execu-
tive committee. That the highest body in
the society should thus bow to the wishes
OF stranger suggests that the explanation
must b. one out of the ordinary. And
such is the case.
In the Theosophical Society there are
two bodies. called the exoteric and the
occult. Tie former is the society known
10 the world, which holds open meetings.
discusses philosophy and religion ard
carries on its propaganda like other re-
lgious and humanitarian institutions.
The occult IS a secret body of adopts, pos
sessing psychic powers, and is under the
direct guidance of the great beings known
as Mahatmas, who reside in Thibet. This
body is credited with doing most of its
work on the Invisible planes, infuencin g
the souls of man. guiding nations and
taking part III the governance of the
affairs of the planet generally.
In the occult body there is no such
thing as the election Of officers. The chief
is appointed by the Mahatmas and is an
adept on whom the mantle of leadership
naturally falls by reason OF his develop
ment. Nine. Blavatsky.was head of this
body during her life and was succeeded by
w. Q. Judge. When the latter died on
March Il, last, it tlooked as though there
was none to succeed him. Among the
qualifications necessary for such leader
ship are the power TO leave the BODY at
will and transport oneself to any distant
place and to communicate with DISCIPLES
