The Most paautiiul wnm,n

10 Florida graced the streets of Ocala
yesterday. In form, face and feature.
she was all but divine. The.carnation
OF the rose lent its tInts to complex
ion that was Heavenly to behold, and
the lilies of the valley, with drooping
heads, gave to her the palm for grace
and beauty. With wavy ringlets
clustering around a neck of alabaster.
and with soft, lustrous eyes that spark
ed like gems from GOlconda, she con-
cured, In royal way, like verilable
queen of love, the hearts of all who
saw her. Dress goods from our bar
gain counters did the business
Rhelnauer.

Dangers Of the Grin.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
Is OF IL resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens Of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn of single case having resulted
In pneumonia, which shows conclus-
lively that this remedy is certain pre-
ventitive Of that disease. 1t will
effect permanent cure in less time
than any other treatment. The %

ANNIE BESANTS SUCCESS.
Her Lecture Tour in the UnitedStates
Has Borne Fruit

New York, Sept. Z1.-Mrs. Annie Be
sant who arrived in the city today,
after a six months lecturing tour of
the country expounding theosophy, is
to return to England September %. She
will give a farewell lecture tonight al
Chickering hall on Life After Death.
There is a probability that Mrs. Be
SAINT will be a passenger on the same
steamship as Ernest T. Hargrove, the
young English barrister, who has re
signed from the theosophical society OF
which Mrs. Katherine Tingley, the
veiled Mahatma is leader, thus follow
ing the example of Claude Falls Wright
whose marriage according to theosophi-
cal rites attracted attention
The result of Mrs. Besants tour
through the country has been the or
ganization of more than so branches of
the Theosophical society, American sec
ton Count Axel Wachmeister, who,
with his mother the Countess Wach-
rneister, accompanied Mrs. Besant, said
today:
THE tour has been most satisfac-
tory one and Mrs. Besant's work in
the cause of theosophy has been most
fruitful. Her visit to this country has
not been in any spirit of antagonism
toward any other organization, despite
reports to the contrary. Indeed, this
could not have been the case, for the
osophy shows that all antagonisms of
such a character are wrong and do not
tend to the universal brotherhood which
Mrs BeSant teaches.
