An interim report of the Royal Commission on
tuberculosis is expected to be issued shortly.
1t appears that the laboratory researches OF

A LECTURE ON THEosoPHY.
Charles w. Leodbenter Addresses
Members of the Local society,


Charles ". Leadbeater. f. 7. s., of
London, lectured under the auspices of
| the Washington branch of the Theo-
sophical Society at Masonic Temple last
night. His subject was Some Miscon-
ceptions About Death" In the course OF
| his remarks Mr.. Leadbeater said:
what may be called superphysical
sight, I. e., sight which passes the bounds
of physical matter. penetrates planes of
existence beyond that we perceive with
the physical senses and acquaints itself
with the beings and life of regions sur
rounding the physical, has been long sus-
pected as possible by the more advanced
men of science. Naturally, the greatest
eagerness of humanity is for positive
knowledge of the state beyond death-of
what we shall be when we leave the
body. 1t has always been claimed in
the East. as also by genuine occultists in
the West, that this superphysical sight is
one Of the latent powers of man. and
that 1t can be evolved by the man who,
with pure life anu philanthropic intent
pursues the regimen and the training laid
down by rules that have descended from
ages long past. patiently undergoing the
necessary sacrifices and discipline To
such come in time a clear perception of
superpkysical planes-a knowledge of
other areas Of existence as distinct as
that We, ordinary folk have of the
physical world around us. 1T is this d.
rect inspection which is bringing into the
domain Of fact and common sense the
perpleXing phenomena Of psychics and
mediums, and stripping from death both
its terror and its gloom.
1t is inevitable that a being who has
before him an eternity of progress
through zones of knowledge and spiritual
experience should be fitted for il through
long acquaintance with the faculties
which alone can deal with it."
Mr.. Leadbeater was formerly a minister
in the Church of England and has made
an exhaustive study Of theosophy among
the members Of the cult in India He
is said to be thoroughly familiar with
all the methods OF Brahmin occultism and
is preparing to deliver a series of lectures
under the auspices Of the various theo-
sophical societies in this country.

STAFFORD ON king LEAR"
The Lecturer Delivers His Latest Eff
fort at Columbia Theatre.

The Rev. D. ]. Stafford, d. D., last night
entertained a large audience at the Co
lumbia Theatre with his famous lecture
on King Lear" The affair was for the
benefit of the Carroll Institute and every
seat in the spacious playhouse was taken
before o'clock. DR.. Stafford repeated
the success which followed the initial de-
livery of the lecture and was frequently
interrupted by applause. He not only
analysed the famed tragedy. but acted
it as we'll and his rendition of many of
the speeches was deservedly applauded.
DIR. Stafford dealt mainly with the aged
King. driven insane by the ingratitude of
his daughters, and painted a vivid word
picture of the sufferings and rawlings of
the decrepit monarch. He told of his
passion for human love and of his divid
ing his kingdom and divesting himself
Of his Office that he might have what he
craved. He described the pure love of
CordeIia and her devotion to her father
and quoted many scenes from the play.
DR. Stafford referred to Lear as the
greatest effort of Norman literature and
to the character as the celebration of the
divinity of human sorrow. He claimed
that the play was far above criticism and
that 1t was n marvellous exposition of life
as life really is.
