educate Others in the mysteries of the
''black art and they hope to he able to
send many full-tiedged magicians forth
into the world during the next few years.
1t seems strange in this age of material
iStic tendencies to read SUCH a circular as
that which has just been issued by these
distinguished opponents of Occultism.
That they were not mistaken in their
Judgment of the people, however, was
shown by the attendance OF applicants
during the first few days of the school.
There We're scores of them, young and
Old. men n women, al! credulOuS
enough to believe that their ignorance
was not being worked upon and that
within the walls of this modern building
were to be found the wells of secret in
Formation from which one need but to
drink to be able to rule the world.
Exaggerated as such a remark may
seem It is actually no more than the
founders of this institution claim to he
abia to perform. On the Wall of this
school of occultism-4 Rue de Savoie-
is an inscription that sets forth the fact
that 1.-The initiated, in virtue of the powers
transmitted them by the masters, reign
in heaven, on earth n are
feared in hades." To be able to fulfill
such a promise is certainly a remarkable
achievement. for a magician of this cal
ibre would be able to occupy a position
of considerable responsibility in the world.
That there are those who believe that the
achievement of such a result is not at all
an impossibility is shown by the fact that
nearly fifty persons presented themselves
for instruction during the first two days
after the opening of the school 1t is of
course to be hoped that they Will accom-
plish their purpose and that they Will
not eventually discover that they have
spent their time and money i'll the pur-
sui of the impossible.
According to the of these
professors in the lost arts one is reuuir-
ed to spend three years in study if he is
to become an adept in all the mysteries
of sorcery and witchcraft, ~astrology and
the other hermetic sciences" To
achieve this result will require no little
patience on the part of the student for if
he should finally fail of his purpose he
would be left in possession of a consider
able amount of information that he would
no find particularly worth while.
For instance the course has been di-
vided in such a manner that during the
6rst year the student is made to acquire

To Teach the Mysteries of
Witchcraft.
IT IS FOUNDED in FRANCE
And Its Promoters Are Three of the
Leading Magicians of That
Country.

From time iminemorial France has al
ways been a center Of occultism and
though the words "Satanism' and "Sa-
tanist' may be as unintelligibie as Devil
worship itself to people who have made
no study of this strange freak of the
human mind. all they signify all they
imply have long been u very read prob
lem, not only to French theologians, but
also to French jurists II philosophers.
Books IN the occult are frequently pub
1ished in france and are not only bought
and read but are accepted as truth by
people of more than ordinary intelligence
and there can be no question but that the
black mass is performed With a fire.
quenry that would be surprising to those
WHO read this aDomination as purely
mythical.
Some idea of the extent of the belief
in this occult fad Of Partisan society may
be gained from the fact that a school
has just been opened in Paris, in which
all these mysteries are to be taught. The
founders of this school MN. Barlet, Papus
and Sedir, all claim to be the greatest
of magicians and they hold that the time
is now ripe for the Initiation Of others in
to the mysteries hat they have learned
after years Of study and research.
In the past these secrets have been con-
fined to those who were selected to per
form such duties in the world but now,
they say they lave been instructed to

as much Hebrew as ''will enable him to
understand the books of the old alche-
mists." In this year he will also attempt
to grasp the mysteries of hypnotism and
a few other simple problems in psychO1-
ogy such as may be shown in the study
of the constitution of man and his hid
den forces" During this preliminary
stage HE is permitted to witness expert
ments by the great magicians who are his
instructors, it being the idea that by IA
miliarizing himself with such phenome-
nal performances he will have more cour
age to do likewise when he too is a full
fledged wizard.

the study of Sanscrit and continues his
reading of the works treating of alche-

phenomena and learns, doubtless with
growing interest and profit, "the prac-
teal adaptations Of the various parts of
~diyination."
AT the end Of the third year his stud
les are completed n if he is not a first
class wizard he undoubtedly will have
only himself to blame. During this year
his initiation into the mysteries Of occul-
t:sn, into the arena of black magic is
made complete. He lis taught how to
perform all the wonders of which The has
read, how to control the elements. how
to rule over men. 1t is then that he
learns all about 1.-The action Of human
thought on the invisible as we'll as upon
the visible world, and many other OBJ
scure matters the comprehension of which
can only be made possible by his previous
training"
It is remarkable tina such a bait should
catch so many human fish at this time in
the worlds history and yet it is what
n might expect in a city where Satan
ism has become a force in every day life.
The occult book. "La-Bas," if it should
be translated, would open the eyes of the
world to the existence of q secret and
powerful sect Of which it has never
dreamed.
The author J. X. Huysmans, is a faith
full Catholic but he has investigated the
subject of the worship of evil from a
purely scientific standpoint. During his
researches, however, he found that while
the sect of Satanists mad never ceased
ITO exist there had of late been remarkable
revival of interest in this branch of oc-
cultism n that devotees of the prince
of darkness might now be found in every
part of the world although the head
quarters of the order was Undoubtedly at

He also discovered that the blasphe-

personality Of Satan but the possibility
Of demoniac possession were assured

FOR REVENGE.

Indianapolis Press: John G. Finney
in criminal court yesterday admitted on
the witness stand that he played his iid-
die nearly all Of one night to get ever
with his neighbors. Finney was a witness
at thetrial of Charles Taylor and John
Ray. indicted for breaking to Gold
stein Bros, store. at the corner of Nc
Carly street and Klon1ike avenue. He
is a merchant police officer and helped
make the arrest. Charles Benedict, at
torney for the defendants, asked Finney
whether he had ever been arrested.
H replied that he had, and Benedict
brought out the matchmaking episode.
which resulted in Finney's being arrested
for disturbing the peace of the neighbour
hood of his home. In the daytime he slept,
or tried to sleep, while the %neighbors and
their children kept up a din all day Ions.
After he had suffered this awhile. he
planned revenge. He played and played
one night, in tune or out. He would stir
about his "beat" for a while. then return
for more sweet revenge. He kept it up all
night long. and the n~eighbors' ears We're
so rasped that they had him arrested for
disturbing the peace.

TRAVEL.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: The
conversation of a group of railroad Off
Gals in the st. Charles last evening
turned on the possibilities of increased
speed in the trains of the next century.
1T doubt exceedingly" said n of the
party, whether people will ever travel
at much above the maximum speed of
the present day. In my opinion the
efforts of the future will be to reduce the
percentage of risk rather than increase
the average of speed. But n thing is
certain to take place." he continued.

lines for carrying mail n some classes
Of goods. There is no reason why they
should not be rushed over the country
a. enormously high speeds. possibly in
pneumatic tubes. but more likely In
open-air cars of some sort, propelled by
electricity and automatically controlled.
That would make it unnecessary to cons
slider the safety of human beings as q
factor in the problem. A car would
simply be started at one point n stop
of itself at another, and business of every
kind would be tremendously facilitated.
1t ought to be entirely practicable to
send mail and some kinds of fast freight
from New York to Chicago in from six
to eight hours, and If that was done. the
people themselves would be content to
jog along at a much more moderate
gait. One of the great demands of the
