that time, and in these dramas were
taught the great truths of mans be-
ing. In fact, they were tragedies of
the soul. Wagner is chiefly known as
musician. In reality, he was a great
deal more than that; he was a great
mystical poet and philosopher, and his
prose works are as voluminous as his
musical dramas. In his writings he
describes the ancient Greek drama,
and shows that he has based his own
work upon it, at the same time describ-
ing his own dramas as tragedies of the
soul. In our lecture we quote from
his own works and give a sketch of his
life, showing how great were the re-
forms that he introduced in modern
opera"
Both of the lecturers are accom-
plished musicians, and will illustrate
the meaning of the great master with
selections from his works, on the or
gan and piano. Stereopticon views of
scenes from ''Parsifal," the Ring" and
"Lohengrin," from photographs taken
at the great festival at Bayreuth, will
also be used to illustrate the lecture.
Mrs. Cleather, when seen yesterday,
said: There can be no doubt that
Wagner was true theosophist, for his
works prove the fact. He was an ar
dent admirer of Schopenhauer, and all
of Wagner's work was composed on
the lines of the teachings of Schopen-
hauer. He was philosopher and mys-
tic teacher He employed music as
detail only, and not as the most i'm
portant part of his teaching. The mod
ern revival at Point Iona of a school
of the lost mysteries of antiquity will
accomplish a great deal for theoso-
phists and the world, in the direction
of proving the Inner Soul Motives of
the mystic teachers"
Mrs. Cleather was one of the mem
bers of the theosophcal crusade in
augurated by Katherine A Tingley,
the high priestess of theosophy, in 1895.
She has travelled much, and is a pleas
ing speaker, her intention being at all
times to convince her audience rather
than to parade powers of flowery rhet-
ORIG. Mrs. Cleather was one of the
first pupils of Madame Blavatsky, and
the appreciation of her work in the
theosophical ranks is shown by the
hearty welcome she has received from
all disciples of the faith in this city.
Basil Crump is a barrister, a mem
Der of the Inner Temple and of the
Middle Temple, and was for some time
the sub-editor of the Law Times, the
leading English legal journal He is
secretary to the president Of the Theo-
sophical Society of England, and vice
president of the Universal Brother
hood, the name by which the Theo-
sophical Society Of the United States is
now known.

accompanied by two friends and learning
that they stood in the presence of the
editor of the Hovatska Sloga the irate
Radulovich attempted to make an assault
upon him, but was not successful. The
only damage done was the breaking of
two large plates of glass in partition.
Editor Plskulich admits that the best
of feeling does not exist between Radu-

by the publication of certain STRUCTURES

Samuel Maitenovich, who was found dead
Editor Piskulich claims he was Justified

rested on GroundleSS Charge.
Martin Aronsohn, a deaf mute was ar
rested at an early hour yesterday morn
ing by Policeman Beach and was booked
at the City Prison on a charge of at
tempted arson. The charge proved to be
groundless and Judge Campbell, after
learning the circumstances from Fire
Marshal Towe, released Aronsohn on his
own recogniZance yesterday afternoon.
Aronsohn was arrested in q vacant
house on First and Federal streets. A
number of newspapers were strewn along
the hallway and on the stairs. The news
papers were saturated with coal oil, and
this led the officer to suspect that Aron-
sohn intended to set the place on fire, and
as he was unable to make himself under
stood he was marched off to prison.
Yesterday morning Aronsohns wife and
mother were sent for and the former ex-
planned her husbands presence in the
vacant house, which belongs to his moth
er, wealthy lady. 1t seems that some
one has been persistently destroying the
pipes and other fixtures in the house, and
Aronsohn conceived the idea of stopping
there all night in the hope of being able
to capture the offender. He sat up till he
got sleepy and had just lain down on the
floor with a plank for a pillow when the
officer came in and arrested him. The
newspapers were there when Aronsohn
entered the house
Fire Marshal Towe will appear In court
to-day and ask that the case be dis
missed.

BURGLAR PERISHES
BY ASPHYXIATI0A
Hides i'm a Gas Tank House to
Escape From Men in
Pursuit.
Overcome by the Deadly Fumes, He
Dies Soon After He Is Dis
covered.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


PORTLAND, Or, Feb. ED Evans,
burglar, hid in a gas tank-house early.
this morning to conceal himself from
pursuers, and met swift retribution. Es-
Gaping gas overcame him as he lay there
and he. was taken out at daylight to die.
Evans had been released from the
County Jail only yesterday. He had spent
the night looting the residence of j.
Polivka, a few blocks from the place
where he met his death. Arousing the
family as he left the house he ran up
the street followed by Polivka and several
neighbors, who had been aroused by Po-
livka's police whistle. The pursuers were
hard on Evans heels when he suddenly
vanished in the darkness near the grounds
of c. E. Smith, and all further efforts to
find him proved in vain.
THIS morning the gardener, smelling a
leak in the tank, which is part of small
Illuminating plant, opened the door of the
house which shelters it and found a man
lying on the floor, his face blue and swol-
len. The victim died a few minutes after
he was taken out. Papers found on his
body settles his identity beyond doubt.

took from poor Ernest Hogan, eh?' All

Mr. Hogan has entirely eliminated
the song, Il Don't Care If You Never

MONEY STILL PLENTIFUL
EVEN PRESENT LOW RATES
CANNOT BE SUSTAINED
Shipments to the Interior Do Not
Equal Gold ImpOrts-Heavy Dis.
bursements by the Treasury and
the Deferred Bond Issue Sends
culattOn Continues to Expand.

NEW YORK, May 21.-The Finan-
cier says this week: 'In the face Of the
showing made by the New York banks
Tor the week ending May 81, 1t is diff
f1cult to see how the money market
is to be sustained. even on the present
lower level. for any length of time
Inc banks now hold an excess of $780,
715,25O, the highest reported in fourteen
months, and the total cash in bank
has rarely exceeded the present vol
ume.
The circumstances which have
brought about the remarkable changes
in the statement are not difficult to
understand. The steady demand for
interior remittances has given way
to a decided movement to this cen
ter. The shipments to the interior have
not equalled gold imports for some
time. Added to this, the treasury is
disbursing large sums Of money and
until two weeks ago high rates forced
constant liquidation Of loans and
sales of accumulated sterling bills.
The result has been to throw a mass
of idle money into the banks.
Fortunately, the situation has so
much improved that the banks are
finding use for part of this money, and
the expansion Of s7,S57, 800 in loans for
the week is cheering sign. What
proportion of this is mercantile demand
CduIlOl U0 6SllHldCeC, DuI IT IS True THAT
some very active buying Of sterling
bills is again being INDUCED.
The expansion Of averages for the
week can be traced to several large
banks. notably those which are con-
cerned in international movements, but
on the other hand, the institutions
making a speciality Of country accounts
reported deposits. showing the return
tide from the interior.
Under normal circumstances. a move
ment in favor of New York Is only
natural at the season. and now that
the proposed government bond issue
has been delayed, New York will prob
ably continue to gain heavily
The export figures issued by the
treasury indicate that, until the gov
eminent calls for funds, the surplus
cash will again seek investment in de-
ferred foreign exchanges. Forty mil
lions were thus placed during the first
two months Of this year, and the OPP
portunity is now as favorable as at
that time.
The increase of over 100000 for the
week is logical, counting the S7,2S5,000
gain and the increase Of that amount
over in the loans.
AS is usually the case, circulation
continues to expand after the crisis
which called it forth has ceased to
exist

AN HONOR TO BE AN AMERICAN.
Patriotic Address by Eustis on the
Privilege of Citizenship.


w. H. Eustis delivered an eloquent ad-
dress upon the Privilege OF American Citi-
zenship'' at meeting held at Normanna hall
last evening. under the auspices of the Sixth
Ward Naturalization club. The heavy rain
which prevailed during the evening prevent
ed large audience. but that in no wise in
terfered with the ball which followed the
speechmaking. John w. Arctander, who was
expected to speak upon Naturalization" fail
ed to put in an appearance. The Svea band
rendered some excellent selections.
In the course of his remarks, MIR. Eustis
called attention to the fact that to be a cti-
zen of the greatest nation on earth, if the
youngest, was the proudest prerosative of
man. In this country could be seen what
was common in other country. People of
all nations focked here, and no sooner
have they reached our shores than they re-
nounce allegiance to their native lands and
stand sauarely beneath the flag of freedom.
We never hear OF a German moving to
France and adopting the latter country as
MS own. Neither does the Scandinavian go to
Germany and swear allegiance to the en-
peror, the Englishman naturalize himself
as Swede or Norwegian when he removes
peoples come to America, and all become
part of us.
In the war which is now raging can be
seen Swedes. Norwegians, Germans, French
who came over in the Mayflower, all fight
ing together for the honor and the glory
of the Stars and Stripes.
He called attention to the fact that May I,
when Dewey captured Manila, for the frs.
time in the history of the world the sun failed
to set upon the cid flag, and he prayed tina,
it may never do so again. In the old days,
said he, it was considered an honor to be
Roman. The United States has changed con-
ditions so that it is a glory to be a man.
Mr.. Eustis closed with an exhortation that
all of those present who had not yet Sc
cured their second papers should do so with.
