PHILOSOPHICAL LECTURE
Waves, Spirals and Vibrations Elk
pounded by w. G. Bailey

At theosophical headquarters, 22Oh
South Main street, Will G. Bailey, for
mer newspaper man and prominent the
osophist of San Francisco, lectured last
evening on Waves, Spirals and Vibra-
tons" The lecture was illustrated by
forty maps and charts. He said In part:
Everything which appeals to our phys
ical senses does so by means of vibra-
tions, and, reasoning by analogy and the
study Of correspondences, we conclude
that all knowledge, the higher spiritual
as well as the more material, is gained in
the same manner. Students of theoso-
ply are not content to merely observe
the physical appearance Of their envi-
ronment, nor to accept superficial argu-
ments for the observance of any set OF
rules for right living or intellectual
growth but rather would go as far as
possible toward the root of all knowl-
edge and thereby gain sure foundation
for any superstructure which may thep
after be reared. Bearing this inf1

progressive motions result in the waves
of field of grain caressed by the gentle
breeze, or the waters Of the ocean beaten
by the fury Of the gale into gigantic
waves, coils and spirals, and the perma-
nent records Of the undulatiors of the
shifted sands which are ofttimes ce-
mented into hard rocks, showing the
record of the wave motion for ages to
come.
In considering the waves Of sound the
difference between music and mere noise
was aptly illustrated by the symmetrical
progression of the spirals in the har-
monies which please, and the broken
waves of the discordant noise which
CRATES upon the aer.
The transition of the wave into the
spiral and the coil, and the combining OF
the spiral and coil into the vortex, the
most potent of all forms of motion, Is
exemplified In the growth Of the soul
and the continuous reincarnations of the
soul in human form is but the carrying

Y. W. c. A. Gospel Service

The regular gospel service at the
Young Women's Christian association
yesterday afternoon was led by the gen.
cral secretary, Miss Teal. She drew sew
eral lessons from the account Of Christ
walking upon the sea. Christ, on the
land, saw the disciples toiling and dis
couraged, and went to them. So he is
watching you and I. and will come to our
aid in time Of distress. Their troubles
ceased when Christ entered the boat.
When Christ Is received into the life the
storms are calmed, and there is peace.
There Is nothing impossible with God.
Christ walked upon the water, fed the
five thousand. and healed the multitude.
In his work there is nothing impossible
today.

a Soothing Kind of Failure.

A Washington man who suspected a
colored man in his employ of tampering
with his private stock of whisky allowed
the demiiohn to become empty and. in
stead of filling it up again, put the liquor
in bottles in a cupboard and labeled them
poison says the San Francisco Argo-
maui.

theater he caught the colored servant in

ror, the employer exclaimed: Great
heavens! DO you know what you are do
ing? Don't you know that what that bot
tic contains is marked poison?''
The colored man held it. off and looked
at it. Then he smelled it, and, with
look of melancholy, replied; "Taint poi

How dare you tamper with it, whether
you knew it was poison or not?"

Discournging the Negroes.

It seems curious to southern newspaper
readers that the Fcop.e of the north, who
are so fierce in demanding rights for ne
groes in the south. should refuse the very
commonest sort of rights TO the negroes
who dwell among them. A Boston dis
patch Of Jan says that Isaac b. Allen,
a colored man. who has been elected coun-
cillor TO Gov. Wolcott of Massachusetts is
an eyesore to some OF the republicans Of
that state. They have tried in many
ways to get him to resign. 1t is stated
that they have offered him $4,000 If he
would 20 to Europe for year, that being
the period for which he is elected, or $780,
coo if he would resign. Allen says he puts
his race above money, party or anything
Else, and that he is going to hold on to his
office and attend every meeting Of the
governors council. He has been chosen
to advise the governor and he intends to
discharge that duty.
A dispatch from Perry, Oklahoma, says
that extraordinary efforts are being made
in the southeastern part of that territory
to compel the negroes to leave the terri
tory. Hundreds of them have been warn
ed to leave. and some of them have been
assaulted in their homes by armed bands
Of white men. The white people, most of
them being from the northern states, are
bitterly hostile to the colored people, and
do not intend that they shall remain in
the territory If they can help it, The
ground of their opposition is that they
have to work in their own fields. and, as
the colored people also work in the fields,
they feel they are putting themselves on
an equality with them. That is about the
only reason why that they insist that the
colored people shall leave Oklahoma.
Here in the south the colored people not
only cultivate their own fields and work
in fields with the white people. but they
are found working with the white people
as mechanics. There is no feeling of hos
tilty against them
After all do not the colored people get
along much better in the south then else
where in the country? Are they not more
kindly treated and are they not shown
much more consideration? The truth is
they have more privileges in the south
than elsewhere. The proof that they have
is found in the fact that southern negroes
who go north in search of employment
are, as rule, glad to get back to the
south

on these occasions a certain member al
most invariably rose a considerable win
ner. At length so marked became the
good fortune of this member that another
determined to probe the matter TO the bot
tom. One evening, accordingly, at his
own rooms, he introduced Herr
man, under false name, to a
select party of the members, among whom
figured the suspected one. At the close
of the nights amusement, when the guests
had departed, the host turned to the con-
iurer and demanded his opinion. mot a

Lecturing a New Governor.

Gov Black, the newly inaugurated gov
ernor of New York, began his term of Of
fee by announcing in his inaugural ad-
dress that he intended to be guided by his
own judgment in discharging his duties;
that the demands of factions, the criti-
csms Of the press and the bowls of dissat-
ished politicians would not have the least
influence with him. The words he used in
conveying the foregoing to the public were
as follows. mo intolerant clamor or IL
responsible assault will force or prevent
single executive act" This was, in effect,
saying to those who object to any of his
official acts, IF you don't like the way l
manage the governors office do what you
please about it," Some of the New York
papers have taken offense at the COVER
nor's plain words and they are speaking
their minds freely in regard to him. For
days they have kept up an attack on
Lon" Payn whom. it is understood, the
governor will put at the head of the insur-
ance department of the state. If what
these papers say is true, Mr.. Payn is an
all round bad man. As a lobbyist he has
no equal and several shady transactions
are charged to his account
It looks, however. as if the governor
would make him the chief of the Insurance
department, Notwithstanding the clamor
against him. He is a friend Of Boss
Plat, and that fact seems to have more
weight with the governor than the pro-
tests of the newspapers.
Gov. Black, however, may find before
he gets very far along in his gubernatorial
career that It is necessary to pay some
attention to public sentiment He cannot
continue to appoint unfit men to Office sim
ply because they have a political pull,
without creating the impression that he
regards public office as a private snap"
instead of public trust. For a man who
creates that impression there is no politi-
cal future.

Forgot to Wear Trousers.

A certain noble lord who shall be name
less, during his journey north on politi-
cal mission, changed his costume for a
full Highland rig out" intending it as a
delicate compliment to the land of the
kilt, says the London Weekly Telegraph.
But when he looked at himself in the glass
he found that the tailor had cut his kilt
too short; so he made up his mind to put
on evening dress
He changed his upper garments and
then sat down for a few moments to study
his speech. This set him to sleep. He
awoke with a start. only to find himself
running into the station. Forgetting what
happened, he thrust on his hat, and ap-
peared at the window bowling, and this
was how he was dressed:
He had a full highland costume as far
as his waist, above were a white shirt
and swallow-tailed coat. and the entire
edifice was crowned with chimney-pot
hat, upon which he had sat down without
noticing it. His lordships horror when he
stepped upon the platform and felt the
keen wind cutting his bare legs changed
to absolute agony when his valet appear

A Border shibboieth.

MANY people are unaware" said Rep
resentative Curtis, of Kansas, to the
Washington Post, that Kansas had a
shibboleth in border state times. In 1854,
when the first tide of New England settlers
began to drift into the southwest, it is
related that the Missourians tied a COW at
each crossing of the Missouri river. When
an emigrant arrived at the crossing he
was certain to make some remark about
the animal. If he said cow he was suf-
fered to cross, but if he said keow' he
was hustled out of the country as bloody
minded abohtionist. In retaliation for this
the Kansans tied a bear on their side of
the river, and when an emigrant crossed
who called it bear he was welcomed
with open arms, but if he pronounced it
bar he was scooted back into Missouri
as an unwelcome slavery advocate"
