who were on the roll when the society
was fiourishing, the roll suddenly
dropped to 500, and this the doctor al

County, Indiana, in 1S47, and his early
education was received in the public

trephined. three pieces of bone being
removed, and the boy soon rallied. Dr.
Shannon thinks that il the patient is
strong enough to bear the shock re-

DEATH CALLS
A RENOWNED
THEOSOPHIST

DIR. Jerome A Anderson, a well
known physician and prominent in
Theosophical circles, died at his home
in this city yesterday. He was highly
esteemed by large circle of acquain-
tances. He leaves a widow and three
daughters, Ivy, Jessamine and Violet.
DR.. Anderson was brought into great
prominence through his connection with
the Society of Theosophists of which
Madame Katherine Alice Tingley, the
master of the Universal Brotherhood,
played a prominent part at Point Iona
about a year ago.
DR.. Anderson was at one time pres
ident of the local branch, but he re-
signed about a year and half ago,
which caused a great deal of COM
ment in that society. The doctors
resignation at that time was said to
be due to the alleged autocratic dis
position shown by Madame Tingley
in the management of the affairs of
her branch of the cult.
When the doctor resigned his posi-
tion he made a very emphatic state
ment in regard to Mrs. Tingley. He
said her operations disgusted him and
that she had conducted herself in a
manner deserving of the most severe
criticism as being at variance with the
conduct one would naturally expect
from the leader of the Theosophists of
the United States. He referred to
Madame Tingley as woman full of
ideas and they were as visionary as
those of Colonel Mulberry Sellers.
He stated that she had a decidedly
combative temperament and the result
was that she had involved the brother
hood in useless litigation. He added
that her acts had disgusted the Theos-
ophists to such an extent that numer-
Gus withdrawals have resulted; in fact,
of the 14O societies which had ANAL
gamated with the brotherhood a few

NEW YORK CAPITALISTS
BUY BUOY PATENT RIGHTS
Tacoma Mechanic Is to Be Placed

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 25.-John
Dobson. a well known banker Of Che
halls, Wash, has received word from
w f. Harmon, also Of Chehalis, and
W. S. Crouch of Tacoma who are in
New York that they have sold the
Crouch buoy patent rights to New York
capitalists for $500. 900. DobsOn and
Crouch owned the patents, Crouch be-
ing the inventor.
DObsOE and Crouch went to Wash
ingtOn last winter. The Navy Depart
ment, satisfied that CrOuch's invention
was worth a trial. gave them letters
to the officers of the United States rev
enue cutter Gresham, stationed at New
York. They spent about three weeks
uDOn the Gresham. Daily tests Of the
invention were made in all kinds OF
weather and upward OF twenty-five OF
these tests showed that the buoy would
do all that was claimed for it.
The LisIe gun, with which ships are
equipped the world over. has its de
fects. There is a limit TO its capacity
for sending a line ashore in time OF
heavy sea when the wind is blowing
off shore. CrOuch's buoy, it seems,
Overcomes all obstacles within reas-

it that it is far superior TO the Llsie

Ceeds that of last year made by the
same lodge 1t might be supposed that
there could hardly be so many people
in Oakland who could not afford Christ
mas dinners, but the Elks found them
and then saw that their wants were
supplied.
A special committee was appointed
by the lodge. with Clay Hawbaker at
the head. Mr.. HaWbaker organized his
forces and requested every member of
the lodge to furnish him with list
of the deserving poor that had come
under his notice. The Associated Char
tiles and all charitable organizations
were appealed to. and large number
of names and addresses were sent in.
1t became necessary to segregate these
names, for many were duplicated.
When this was done it was found that
there We're nearly 400 names. Most of
these were investigated and less than
a dozen were found unworthy.
Then the work of ordering began,
for the EIks did not solicit donations.
except from members of the order. and
then only in the shape Of money and
work. There was plenty of each. The
committee worked all last night and
into this morning, and when they had
finished each one of the 391 families
had been given a roast of beef that
was big enough for all, with some for
tomorrow. In addition to the meat
there were distributed 800 loaves Of
bread, 720 cans of soup, 20 sacks of po-
tatoes, 10 sacks of beans, 33 dozen pack
ages of mush, 80 boxes of apples, be-
