Of the society are AdJar, India, and it is
there that Col. Olcott resides. lie has
not been in this country for over eight
years, and as he Is a man already past
the allotted three score and ten years,
it is probable that this visit Of his will
be farewell one. at least In his present
body. -
Col. olcott Is decidedly a militant
follower Of the society whose founder
he also Is. Theosophists point to him
with pride as one who has the courage
Of his convictions. For instance, Col
Olcott very frankly asserts that he has
met several manatmas. A ma

course, is entitled to be merged into
nirvana, but for the good OF humanity
he prefers to tarry while on earth. He
possesses what appears to be miraculous
powers, and can put off or on his earth
ly body as 1t suits his pleasure. Dr..
Olcott admits that he has conversed with
a number Of mahatmas. and that n IS
to their counsel that he owes the pro-
gress he has made in things phlloso-
phical.
Many years ago Col Oleott was not a
theosophist at all He was a reporter,
working on one of the big New York
dailies. One day he was sent on an as

the rapidly growing order a factor that
might give it trouble, ordered all it's con
ductors to leave the brotherhood on pain
of dismissal.
This had the effect of slightly depicting
the ranks, but the set back was ONLY
temporary. In November of the same
year a call was issued to the conductors
OF the United States and the British
provinces for a convention to he held
at Columbus, O. The response was
most gratifying and at its close there
mad been launched the order that today
bids for the plaudits and encouragement

stitution was model, its bylaws 1ust

The privilege of routing the shipment
at the shippers will has been withdrawn,
to his great Inconvenience and actual
financial detriment. He is now forbid
den to unload half a car at one point
and the remainder at some point further
along the same Inca privilege which
the terminating road has always been
glad to extend to the shipper, but which
the originating roads have managed to
veto, although it does them no conceiv-
able harm. These are only a few of the
changes that have been made to the in
jury of the fruit shipper in the last ten
years, with no reductions or improve
ments to offset them.
How does 1T happen that the chief in
dustry of this region is selected to bear
all these burdens and Is made an excep-
ton to the general rule that the shipper
is to receive his share of the improve

During the last ten years there has
been no reduction in the amount chargsd
the orange growers for Carving their
freight across the continent although
the freights charged for almost every
other line of merchandise all over the
country have been diminished. The vol

tenfold during that period There is not
the slightest doubt that the general cost
of railway operation has diminished. but.
waving that, there Is evidently a great

exposition. Minnesota, like every other
state, Is behind in her preparations on
this account and it would not have
been possible to have carried out the
first date. Secondly, the Woodmens ma
tional convention in this city during the
first week of June initiates against the
original plans, as very large number
of the editors of the state and others
who will go on this trip, are members
of that organization and will of course
desire to attend the convention.
Two matters are positively decided
upon tnerefore-that the day upon which
the excursionists leave ST. Paul for Buff
falo will be June Is and second, that the
official Minnesota day, the day upon
which the building containing Minnesc-
tas exhibits will be dedicated has been
determined upon as June 1S. This Will
give three days for the trip and prepara-
lions after arrival for the dedication
The trip will be made over the Milwaukee
and Grand Trunk lines.
Aside from these alterations the COM
mttee wishes 1t understood that all other
arrangements remain as orig nally made.
The members Of the editorial assocla-

in making the arrangements for this
event urge that the Importance of the
day be thoroughly understood. 1t does not

together and proceed to Buffalo on June

est to every Minnesotan who attends the
| exposition.
Gov. Van SAINT and his staff are pre-
pairing to attend the exposition so as to
be there when the association Is and take
part in the dedication ceremonies on June
10. If possible, the governor, his staff
and the battalion of state guards from
Minneapolis, which is also to go, will
leave here in company with the editors.
Aside from the imposing effect given to
the occasion by such an aggregation as
this 1t will be the means of warranting
to all who may chance to be on the
