Five hundred peasant girls in the
province of Prussia are forming into
a cavalry regiment to offer to Emperor

Lithuanians-of the race that became
. famous under the Jagellons-and their
homes are in the districts Of Gumbin-
min and Koenigsberg, between the Bal
tic, Russia and Poland. They told their
councilmen and parsons: 1--WE make
one condition-our Duke (meaning the
Kaiser) must have no other body
guard. During the time of his stay in
our country we want to be his SOL

communicated with Emperor's court
marshal to find out whether the Of

marshal wrote: 1T all depends on
the girls; go and look them over" So
his excellency invited his fair petit
tioners to meet him at Trakehnen, the
celebrated horse farm, and at the same
time arranged with the governor of the
place for the use of hall. But If the
hall had been as big as Madison Square
Garden 1t couldn't have accommodated
the assembly, for every one of the 600
volunteers came on horseback, many
bringing led horses, and all insisted

speech from the saddle. President He

president Of the district. Members Of
the regiment furnish their own horses,
and each oficer or sub-ohicer is enti-
tied to have led horse. The horse
may be put out to grass on the royal
estates. but oats must be provided by
their owners. The name and style of
the regiment is Imperial Mounted

FOR PHILOSOPHICAL UNION.
MOVEMENT TO BRING TOGETHER ALL THE
PRESENT SOCIETIES.

A MOVEMENT TO BRING TOGETHER ALL THE
PRESENT SOCIETIES
There was a small informal gathering OF Theoso-
phists at Lyric Hall yesterday morning pursuant
to a call issued by James NJ Pryse. Of No II West
Ninety -eighth-st., for the purpose OF forming a
new theosophcal society In the call for the meet
ing Mr. Pryse sets forth that the object is the
formation of q society OF Theosophists ousted
from the Universal Brotherhood Of Mrs. Katherine
T1ngley who was designated as an absolute ruler.
Personal motives the circular says, are to be at
tributed to the leaders Of the Universal Brother
hood movement. 1t says further that there are
many Theosophists in the United States who are
allied with society. and who. owing TO the dis
putes and chickering's Of the old societies. have kept
aloof from them.
There was an evening session. and James NJ
Pryse was elected chairman Mrs. Pierson WAS
elected secretary and she read resolution calling
for an international convention Of theosophcal so
cieties. to be held in this city on December 81 Of
this year This proposition did not seem to meet
with much favor as II was suggested that small
a gathering. of whom had registered and
many of whom were not members of any exist
ing theosophical society. was not in a position to
undertake such a responsibility. The notion after
some discussion. was laid on the table.
Then followed g somewhat Drotracted inter-
change OF views as to what best TO be done.
It was suggested that there were already too
many theosophcal societies and that the organ
ization of another. no matter how pure and good
the purpose might be. would only complicate diff
cuties and accomplish good result
The concensus OF opinion that Mr.. Pryse
should be appointed secretary to represent the
convention and that ne should communicate with
the officers Of existing organizations with view
to bringing about a conference to discuss the ad-
visibility of combining all these bodies in one So
ciety, which should work for the establishment Of
brotherhood Of mankind and the publication OF
the world. II this could not be brought about
