HIS FIFTH TIME ON EARTH.
l Boy Who Il . Living witness For -
Theory Of Reincarnation.

Theory Of Reincarnation.
Theosophists claim that the soul or
principle Of consciousness Of mankind
undergoes many reincarnations, animating
various bodies In different ages and PLACES
Few even Of the most ardent theosophisos
claim to remember aught Of their lives In
other bodies, but . boy in Broome county,
n. Y, who never heard of theosophy, SUBJ
stantiates to the satisfaction Of all true b.
levers the truth Of their theories BY tell
ing Of his adventures in four previous
states OF existence, extending over I, 900
years
Tho boy, William Hicks, Is only years
old. He declares that this is his fifth time
on earth. The first time was about the
time the Romans invaded England. He
was the son Of . great chief, and he wore
skins Of animals for clothing, which was
strictly en- regle in those days. He do
scribes, with historical correctness, the ap-
pearance Of the ships Of the invaders
whom he took q part in trying to repel.
he remembers a sharp pain, as an arrow
pierced his breast, and then all was a
blank until, hundreds Of years later, he
appeared again as the son of Q cottager in
London, when thatched cottages abound
ed In the worlds metropolis He describes
the life Of that period ~ it has been hand
ed down to us and tells Of the horrors Of
the plague which swept London In the
eeventeenth century. He describes how the
dead lay In piles on the street, tells Of the
dying agonies Of his mother, Of the disap-
pearance Of his father and concludes by
telling Of how oblivion came 20 him after
street fight, In which he was pierced By
. sword.
The next memory he has is Of living IN
Paris, the son Of an English shoemaker.
1t was In the stormy period OF the French
revolution. His father was unmolestcd,
but one night the son rescued n girl from
Ill treatment at the hands of some street
ruffian. On the pretext that he was de-
lender OF the aristocracy and an enemy OF
liberty he was arrested and sent next day
with cartload Of other unfortunstes to
the guillotine. The knife descended. there
was an instant Of pain, then oblivion.
HIS fourth life opened In this land Of
the free as the son Of plantation overseer
IN the south. When II years old, he went
bathing with some companions He was
seized with cramp, he remembers giving q
ciy for help, then Of going down, Of the
blood rushing to his brain, Of strange
noises In his ears, Of brilliant lights which
oazzled his eyes, and then again uncon-
sctousness, oblivion, nirvana, until men,
ory revived In him on the Broome county
farm II the lad were older, the theory that
he had read Of the events Of which he re-

Inauguration of fhe New York and

At no time of the year is Atlantic City

conspicuously absent during the rush
of summer, prevails throughout, conson-

the majesty of the mighty ocean. 1t is

Three-Days Tour to Washington.

Washington at present is the cynosure
of all eyes: not only because it is the
Nation S Capital and of the interest which
attaches to the deliberations of Congress,
| but the brilliant Presidential reception
on New Years Day formally opened the
season of fashionable festivities, and 1t
has now become the great social centre
of the country. Brilliant minds, waving
for the time the cares of government,
abandon themselves to the gay whirl Of
social world. Receptions. dinners, balls
follow each other with bewildering
rapidity.
The state of the Cuban question and
the possibilities of Congressional action
is also claiming attention, and the never
dying interest which attaches to the
many departments of the Government is
| attracting its usual number of visitors.
The three-day personally conducted
tour OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which leaves New York January
21 affords the best opportunity of visiting
the National Capital at this season. The
| party will be under the care and guidance
of an experienced tourist agent, and the
prog ramme IN Washington has been pre-
pared with an acc 1rate knowledge of
the location and best time to visit each
of the principal points of interest.
Round trip tickets, including railroad
transportation in each direction and
accommodations at the best Washington
| hotels, will be sold at the following rates:
From New York, $I4 so; Trenton, SI3. IS;
Atlantic City, 9I2.75: Pottsville, $I4.3o;

For Tourists and Travellers.
Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, dur
ing the Winter seasons, so many varied
attractions as the State of Florida. Be-
sides its delightful climate, which to one
escaping from the cold and unhealthful
changes of the North seems almost
ethereal, it is e-eminently a land of
sport and pleasure. Along its eleven
hundred miles of saltwater coast and IN
its twelve hundred freshwater lakes are
fish of almost every conceivable variety,
from the migratory tribes common to
Northern waters to the tarpon. pompano,
and others of more tropical character
Nowhere in all our broad land can the
angler find a greater variety OF game
or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunt
er finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears,
panthers, and wild cats roam at large
through the more sparsely settled re-
qions, while birds of all kinds may be
found IN abundance throughout the State
The more novel sport of alligator and
manatee hunting may also be INDUCED
in by the more adventurous tourists.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves its rivers and lakes, its boating
and bathing, its fishing and hunting,
and its extensive forests, Florida pre-
sents unrivaled attractions for the vale
tudinarian, the lover of nature, the sports
man, and the explorer.
TO this attractive State the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has arranged
four personally-conducted tours during
the season of 1897, leaving by. special
train January 26, February g and 23, and
March 9. The first three tours will
admit a sojourn of two weeks in this
delightful land; tickets for the fourth
tour will be valid to return until May 81
by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip 5000 from
New York, $4S.oo from Philadelphia,
and proportionate rates from other points.

alton. apply to ticket agents, special book

Two Weeks in Florida.

To see Florida is pleasure; to visit it
is privilege; but to spend a fortnight
within its borders IS an epoch. There is
a great satisfaction in witnessing the
ripening of tropical fruits in their own
native land, and a peculiar joy in wrest-
ling with old oceans wave when lakes
and rivers at home are all icebound. One
appreciates the wonders of modern inven-
ton and railroad development upon
leaving the neighborhood OF good skat-
ing one day and finding himself in the
vicinity of good bathing the next. Yet
this can be done, and the man who pre-
fers hunting or fishing will take his
sportsmen.
Whoever woul exchange for two weeks
