HINDUISM GAINING GROUND.


New York papers state that Hindu
monks who found their teachings on
the words OF Krishpa, now have q
large following In that city They
have organized a society, or church
ana maintain large house where
there are shrInes and holy emblems,
and where one OF the monks conducts
daily meditations, guiding the contem-

erciscs The Yedanta society, as II Is
called, Is somewhat like q club The
members pay i?5 a year or become life
members by paying $3.50. For this they
get class instruction In "Yoga." or the
path toward the eternal goal, in the
house where the Swamls, or teachers,

meditation under a Swamfs guidance
and they get the privilege OF reading
the Vcdanlq books at the headquarters.
The society It seems, accepts mem
bers from every religious dcnomIna.

spiritual laws that govern our lives; to
establish the universal religion which
underlies al the various sects and
creeds OF specia religions" It was
founded by swami viyekapanda, an
eminent Yedaptist thinker, now dead,
who came to represent the vedanta,

Dry Docks for the Navy.

Interest has been aroused among naval
officers in regard to Secretary Norton
policy in regard to dry docks for the navy.
He will not lack for recommendations in
that respect From nearly every navy
yard he has communication urging pro-
vision by Congress of additional dry-dock
facilities, but it seems likely that the de-
partment will not give it's approval to
projects of this kind excepting, possibly, at
Peuacola, Puget Sound and Norfolk. At
the last-named place there is need of a
small dock for the accommodation of tugs,
torpedo boats and gunboats, and probably
construction of this class will be limited to
these three places, with little chance, how
ever, that any of them win be authorized
in the short se,asion of Congress.
