The Haley Band Concert.

viii Haley hasn't much regard for the
courtesv of the Weather Bureau. IL so
happens that, every time he sends out
word that he has elected an evening on
which to give the public sample OF his
musicians accomplishment nts, that same
day do the heavens turn ON the torrents
and the weather generally becomes as
disagreeable as it can.
Last night Mr.. Haley gave concert
at the National The weather clerk evil
IDENTIFY had his eyes open for the announce
ment, for the anti-Haley brand of wet
was on tap If there was occa sion wanting
to confirm Mr. Haley and his men as
rainmakers, it has arrived.
However, in spite Of the elements, fair
audience gathered to hear the band. Some
dav Mr.. Haley willinvite the weather man
to one of his concerts, and that Will patch
up the difference, and the theater VIII
be crowded as it should be for these excel
lent musicians. Those present last night
were pleased, and evidenced their enjoy
ment in demanding an encore to every
thing, and double repeats to some.
Tie program was interesting in present
ing two new two-steps, one by Mr.. Haley,
1.-The American Beauty," which is an
attractive, vivacious composition; the other
by Mr. Stone, 1.-The Matinee Girls. " If
ANYTHING was wanting to make Handsome
Harry Stone popular with the matinee
girls, the dedication to them of this beanti-
full new composition will do it. The chorus
of trombones played well selection from
"The Huguenots,'' and Messrs. Schultz
and Wagener gave a pretty duet serenade
for French horn and flute.
The three soloists were: Miss Fannie
At Lee, who possesses soprano OF sweet,
but light, timbre, cultivated to finished
degree: Miss Bertha Lucas, violiniste,
with a masculine firmness coupled with
a delicate, artistic touch and a swinging
fluency in lyric passages, and Mr.. Will
liam GrosskurtlI, whose cornet solo was
q pleasant success.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dys

A weak stomach is the cause Of about
nine-tenths of al disease. yetin most cases
the wrong thing is treated and the true
cause overlooked.
This is because weak digestion pro-
duces systoms resembling nearly every
disease becauseit wea kens and disturhs the
action of every nerve and organ In the

kidney trouble, lung weakness and es-
pecially nervous break down or nervous
prostration. the nerves cannot stand the
wear and tear unless generously fed by

fear the approach of disease.

THE TRUTHS OF THEOSOPHY
Countess Wachmeister's Eloquent
Exposition of the Occult Science.
Man Possesses Four Bodies and
Seven Principles, the Physical,
Astral, Mental and Spiritual.

The Countess Wachmeister, the able eX-
ponent of theosophy, made an address yes
terday morning at Typographical Temple
on the interesting subject Of Life After
Death" She was introduced by Rev. Alex
ander Kent, D. D., the pastor OF the Peo-
ples' Church, after the usual service. Dr.
Kent in his remarks spoke Of some OF the
points of contact between theosophy and
che general principles of all of the high
est forms of religion, and welcomed the
sneaker as one of the many who Were
endeayoring to add new truths TO the
fund of human kno wledge.
Mime. Wachmester first spoke of the
various manners in which the people of
different creeds prayed, and described In
some detail the methods of the salvation
Army, which she characterized as emo
tional This style she compared to the
rel gious antics of the Dervishes and
Shakers. She traced the song TIA Ra Ra
Room De Ave- to Persian origin, all Of
this to show the effect Of transient emo
tions socially and religIousiy
Another Thought Of the lecturer was that
there could be no happiness in the heaven
of most of the Christian creeds as
knowledge of the misfortunes and crimes
OF sons, daughters, wives, etc, would
contradict the idea OF eternal happiness
The knowledge of a wife in heaven OF the
faithlessness or viciousness OF the wldoWer
she likened to state of hell on the part of
the sanctified widow.
To understand death she claimed it was
necessary to understand man, whom she
treated as having four bodies and seven
nrinciples. The four bodies were the phys
ical. the astral, the mental and the spirit
nal The astral body she held to be esubject
to the Influence of food therefore diet was
an ;mportant consideration in theosophy
The mental body was nourished by the
intellectual food it assimilated Some peo-
ple. she said, assimilate nothing mentally;
thev simply chatter all day long. The
spiritual body is form or ight FED by
every Thought of worship and beautiful
aspiration. The lecturer then described
the various spheres TO which the body and
| it's variations succeeded to the last, or
| heavenly plane, where the spiritual body
rested before incarnation. The joys or the
future state, she said, consisted in the

| the ideals of the present state After rest
! ing in this beatific condition the great prin'
I, ciple of desire was evolved, the desire

Open the Galleries and Museums
To tie Editor of The Times:


To the Editor of The Times:
The opening of the new Corcoran Art
Gallery on Sunday afternoons is one Of the
most progressive steps ever taken by an
institution of its kind in this city. 1t
is to be hoped that this is forerunner
of similar action on the part of other
institutions devoted TO the advancement of
knowledge and culture. The value of
such a movement, which places within
the reach OF those who have no time
on week days, the opportunity to exercise
their higher powers Of enjoyment, can
hardly be over-estimated, for nearly every
one will admit the ennobling influences Of
art, poetry, music and the study of nature.
And what better time have we FOR such
study than on Sunday-the universal lioli-
day? We need Sunday schools worthy Of
being called schools, where science and
philosophy, and morals unperverted by
theology might be taught-where lay ser
mons, unbiased 10y creed or doctrine, might
be delivered and where people might feel
that they have common interest-the
happiness of the race.

The News and Courier favors
free raw material, but lit blows
hot one day and cold the next. so
that you can't tell where it
stands" asserted Mr.. Evans as he
picked up that paper to read an
editorial where il took issue with
MIR. McLaurin on free raw mate
rial.
After reading the editorial he
epitomiZed it thus: I'm other
words, they say McLaurin is a
republican, yet they are support
ing him to-day as a democrat.
Why! Because they hope to re-
turn The State and The News
and Courier to political power in
South Carolina. Mr.. Evans then

his usual line.

asked at the conclusian of their

salaries paid federal officers.

his speech chairman Porter an
nounced that Senator j. l. Nc.
Laurin was to have been the next
speaker, but that he had been un-
able to reach here on account of
his physical condition. He then
read the following certificate.
which is self explanatory:
