HANDLERS STUDY BUDDHA.
interesting Meeting Yesterday
in Preparation for Or.
Herr's Lecture.

There was an unusually good attend
ance at the Rambler Club meeting, held
in Hasbrouck Institute, yesterday after
noon. h Ramblers did not seem to
mind the cold a bit and turned out in
full force, manifesting the greatest inter-
est in Buddha and Buddhism, the study
for the day.
Miss Pearl Brook had the paper Of the
afternoon and gave a very interesting
sketch Of Buddha from the time OF his
birth in the fifth century to the time OF
his death, about eighty years later. Miss
Brook described the cremation of Buddha
and the distribution of his relics SO full
of the miraculous, with the burning Of
the body In great reverence by the local
rajahs of Maiva, n the Discussions
which followed. The speaker mentioned
Buddha's marriage to his cousin, Yasod-
hava, at the age of nineteen, when he
gave himself up to a life OF Oriental lux
ury, and the complaint of his relations
that he lived entirely for pleasure with
out learning anything, following with an
account of his challenge to match his
prowess when he defeated his COMPETE
tors In manly exercises, n surpassed
even his teachers in knowledge. This is
the only record of his youth, and moth
ing more was heard of him until about
ten years later, when his religious ca
reer practically commenced
To give the best idea of the doctrine of
Buddhism, Miss A. B. Myers read ex-
tracts from The Light of ASIA" ex-
planning and answering questions as she
proceeded. Altogether the Ramblers
spent a very pleasant and instructive af-
ternoon in preparation for a lecture on
Buddhism to be given at next meet
ing on December 20, two weeks from
yesterday. The Rev. Charles Herr. D. D.,
will deliver the lecture and the Ramblers
are privileged to bring their friends. The
Literature Department of the Woman's
Club is also invited to be present on this
occasion. The lecture will be held at half
past three in the kindergarten room Of
Hasbrouck Institute.

department. After talking to me for some
time he informed me that I was under
arrest on a complaint made by my hus-
band. told him that I was the one who
had been assaulted and l showed him the
bruises"
Brown acknowledged that he had repre-
sented himself as an officer, but only to
frighten Mrs. Kennedy, who with her hus-
band is said to nave created much dis
turbance in the house.

their conduct of the war the Beers are

which Great Britain has made regarding
them, that they were a crew of mediae-

What dc those well meaning people,
who gush SO much over the noble Beers
and their patriotic struggle for independ-
ence, think OF them nowg 1t is an indis-
putable fact thai time and time again
they have raised the white flag, and.
when the British have ceased firing and
advanced to parley they have poured a
murderous volley into the English ranks.
Again and again the Beers have fired on
the Red Cross, which is respected by
even the half-civiiized tribes OF the East,
and thus injured physicians and nurses
who were attending the wounded. At
Iadysmith they have directed their shells
against the hospital and done considerable
damage to the building. True. their Gem
eral told the British Commander that he
was going to fire on the hospital and or
dered that the wounded be removed to
4 camp some distance from the city, but
that order was every bit as cruel and
contrary TO the rules of civilized warfare

Then the action of the Transvaal au-
thorities in refusing to permit the United
States Consul, at Pretoria, to take charge
Of British affairs at the Boer Capital is
another violation of the usages of civiliz-
ed countries. The ground that the United
States is friendly to Great Britain and
would therefore abuse the confidence of
the Beers is untenable. When our war
with spain broke out we permitted the
Minister Of France, a people most hos

Spain at washington, while the Minister

their evening meal in the fair dining
