world had reached such proportions and
included so many dlssimilar elements
that the time had come when an or
ganization should be formed which
would be free from the limitations of
any society, and broad enough to enlist
the sympathies of all.
In response to the proclamation the
theosophists present organized a con-
vention at which the Theosophical So
ciety of America incorporated itself into
the Universal Brotherhood as the lit
erary department, accepting the CON
stitution of the Universal Brotherhood
and Mrs. Tingley as leader and official
head to hold office for life. The vote
was practically unanimous
Other organizations took similar ac-
ton, and before the congress had closed
the following had Joined the Universal
Brotherhood: Theosophical Society In
America, International Brotherhood
League, Esoteric School of Theosophy
and the School for the Revival of the
Lost Mysteries of Antiquity, a great

.0E THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
BY s. Hecht secretary Of the New H P. Branch

founder of the theosophcal movement.
Mrs. Tingley found the Theosophical
Society well-organized body with over
100 branches in America and about rs in
foreign countries. The society had been
organized in New York, Nov. II, 1875,
with the principal object of forming the
nucleus of a universal brotherhood, and
the study of ancient and modern reli-
gionS and PHILOSOPHERS as a secondary
object Nine. Blavatsky's mission seems
to have been to attract the attention of
the world to her society; William O.
Judges was to solidify the dissimilar
elements into organized shape and teach
them philosophy of life. Mrs. Tingley,
upon her accession, believed that the
time had come for the carrying of pre-
eept into practice, and one of her first
acts was to organize a crusade around
the world to carry a message of brother
hood to all nations. Six prominent
theosophists accompanied Mrs Tingley
on the tour. which consumed eight
months. New branches were formed in
every country visited
One month ago Mrs. Tingley issued a
call for brotherhood congress to be
held at Chicago, Feb. IS and 10, inviting

and S. L. Beckett, of Toronto. A large
number of those named are the heads
of philanthropic, educational, religious
and philosophical organizations in their
respective cities, thus making the gath
ering an unusually representative one.
To the assemblage Mrs. Tingley read
a proclamation announcing that she had

sophical Society, she. said, had done

ing from flood, famine, war and other
calamities, and generally to extend aid,
help and comfort to suffering humanity
throughout the world.
One of Mrs. Tingley's plans for the
future work of the TheoSophical Society
is to form a great international library,
with headquarters in America, in which
shall be collected valuable books and
manuscripts of ancient and modern
times of a character to elevate the race.
The library is expected to rival the
great AleXandrian Library, which was
destroyed by the Turks.
As the founder and official head for
life of the Universal Brotherhood Mrs.
Tingdey assumes a unique position
among the women of the day. No other
woman is the head of so large a move

Brotherhood, Mrs. Tingley is given alb

by her and are removable at will. She
has the power to create new offices, and
besides life tenure of office, may ap-.
point her own successor. Neither Mrs.
ingley nor any of the general officers
will receive a salary.
Mrs Tingley is between As and so
years of age. She is tall, and, though
stoutly built, has an easy grace and
dignity of movement. She has very
large brain, with a high, well-developed
forehead. Her nose. though not large, Is
strong, and, together with her small,
firm mouth, expresses an indomitable
will which carries to success all her un-
dertakings despite obstacles With all
her will and intellect, her heart is her
strongest Characteristic. From child
hood her deeply sympathetic nature
made her a worker for humanity. Dur
ing the civil war, as a child of II years,
she was with her father, a colonel in
the Union army, before Pittsburg. Once
at midnight her father discovered her
in the streets, accompanied by a colored
maid, nursing wounded soldiers. To
cure her of her peculiarities, he sent her
to Catholic convent in Canada. While
there the Quebec fire broke out, and
the child organized her classmates into
of the fire sufferers, which resulted in
relieving much distress. Later Mrs.
Iingley removed to New York, where,

wHYMPER IN THE ALPS.


NEIOiu IOHuOH Ddlly NeWS.Dt
At the London Institution recently
Mr.. Edward Whymper gave a lecture
on MY scrambles among the Alps"
The poets, he said, had written about
the Alps, but they had seen them only
at a distance-though even then noun
tains yielded remarkably beautiful eff
fects. Tennyson had said that he did
not think he had ever beenehigher than
1000 feet Starting with the Zermatt
valley, Mr.. Whymper showed a number
of scenes of his wanderings alone in 1860
among Alpine desolations below the Mat
terhorn. In one of these explorations
he was in great risk of losing his life
by indulging taste for dropping from
ledge to ledge. Cured of this Fascinating
pursuit, which had been fatal to so
many travellers, he went from bad to
worse, for he resolved to attempt, the
ascent of the Matterhorn. The great
difficulty was to obtain comrades, for
most of the guides fatty refused to 90.
and those who did not refuse to start
took the earliest opportunity of coming
back Various scenes were shown, set
ting forth the difficulties which ne ex-
perlenced in 1888, climbing the Mat
terhorn cliffs. AT the present day, he
said, the cliffs were feStooned With thou-
sands of feet of rope, which reduced THE
difficulties considerably, but he thought
that those who used these. ropes hardly
realized the loss of time they incurred,
In 1868 he was engaged in an, ascent
when he lost his, footing, and was
dashed along in a series of bounds to
within ten feet of a precipice of 800 feet,
when his fall was arrested. He was
then bleeding from several wounds by
one of which an arterynhad been cut.
Having with difficulty got to a plaee,Of
safety few daysofeund him deViSing
fresh plans for climbing the Matter
horn, which, at last, in 1865, he sue
ceeded in conquering. Turning to Mount
Blanc, Mr.. Whyrnper said he did share
the contempt often expressed nowadays
for the climbing of that mountain, On
the contrary, he thought that the fuller
the knowledge the greater would be the
respect felt for the grandeur Of the
scenery and the perils Of the ascent. He
went on to describe the old and the new
erection of an observatory in 1893 by
DR. Jansen, president of the Paris
Academy of Sciences, upon the snow at
the summit of the mountain. Whatever
might be the results Of that enterprise,
one could not but admire the courage
and the ardor for science which had led
a lame man. who was over 70 years of
age, to have himself drawn three times
to the top of the great mountain. Mr..
Whymper described an adventure of
his own on Mont Blanc, in which slip
along the ice came to an end within FIVE
seconds Of a preripice in which the
whole party would have, perished. Four
days We're spent in the observatory by
Mr.. Whymper, by the readily granted
permission of DIR. Jansen, and on TAX
ing possession he found it full of snow.

A Significant Item,

Probably the most significant of all the articles of export which are now contributing to the American industrial invasion of Great Britian will be shipped from Philadelphia the first of next week in the shape of 25O0 tons of steel rails. The rails will be used in the construction of a railroad In Ireland, and will be the first American rails to be actually put down in the United Kingdom, although steel rails have for a long time past been exported from this country for British colonial posses sions. The order is regarded with much satisfaction by the manu- lecturers as 1t is looked upon as ths beginning of orders from the same source, the presumption being based upon the fact that while the American steel rails are selling at SIS per ton the English price is sev- eral dollars in excess of that figure. The tendency in England is, more over, to higher prices in the future, owing to the scarcity of material ID that country, and the refusal of the English manufacturer to modernize his mills. A striking evidence of the superiority of American steel mills and milling machinery is con- tained in the statement of the Eng fish agent sent here to inspect the 25OO-ton order before its shipment, to the effect that the mill which filled the order was fifty years in sd- vance of any similar mill in Eng land as regards its equipment.
