Far more interesting to the general

KILL A BOY AND LAUGH.
Three Men Racing An Auto Run Into
Lad and Escape.


New York, July 22.-Three men who
We're racing up Southern boulevard in
an automobile yesterday afternoon
turned in their seats and laughed when
they struck q small boy and his body
was hurled thirty feet through the air
and fell lifeless at the curb.
They made their escape around a
corner and none Of the many witness
ses was able to get the number OF the
machine, by which to apprehend them.
The dead boy was II years OF age
and was playing by himself In the
street when killed. Witnesses told the
police that the three men We're evil
IDENTIFY racing with train that was
speeding along the subway viaduct ov-
er their heads and did not see the boy
until they struck him. Several men
ran after the fleeing automobile to get
it's number. SO great was the haste
of the three men to escape that they
all but collided with a truck In Wink
ms place, into which they turned.
They ran the machine on a sidewalk to
avoid collision.

was distressed. Then some one ad-
vised ler to apply to DIR. Pussy for
advice. He told her sternly that 1t
was not her duty to try to ascertain
the truth, but to do and believe what
she was told. This was the final blow,
and from that day she thought for her
SELF right or wrong.
She refused at length to go to her
husbands church and listen to his
sermons. To ..,retend to believe in the
public ministrations of a man who was
an evil tempered, selfish, petty tyrant
at home was more than her honest, in
dependent nature could endure. She
began to write; she became free
thinker, driven thereto apparently by
the treatment Of her husband. To
cover up the scandal of having wife
who would not attend his church and
would not accept him as her legal.
mental and spiritual director Rev.
Frank Besant and his family tried to
have this wife pronounced insane.
Naturally separation followed. Mrs.
Besant took her little daughter and
went out to earn bread for both. For
time she did domestic work, was
nurse governess and head cook in a
family, receiving in return board and
lodging for herself and child.
Neither kitchen nor nursery, how
ever, was wide enough to hold Annie
Besant. Theologically, she had been
driven from one extreme to another.
from high church ritualist to believ-
ing in no creed at all. She became q
member of the British National Secu-
lar society. Thus she met Charles
Bradlaugh and became his assistant in
writing. speaking and working.
Next Nine. Blavatsky, founder of the
theosophical society, met her and ex-
pounded oriental doctrine to her, con-
vincing her of it's truth. Honest to
the core, Annie Besant, 20 the general
amazement, "fopped" into theosophy.
She was thenceforth the right hand of
Nine. Blavatsky during the latter's
lifetime. Since Nine. Blavatsky's death
Mrs. Besant has naturally dropped in
to the leaders place. She has crossed
the ocean to America many times and
then crisscrossed our continent, ex-
pounding the doctrines of her cult,
which are universal brotherhood, the
unfolding of the hidden powers of man
and the study of oriental languages
and literature.
Twenty years ago Annie Besant, in
England, was jeered at, scorned and
prosecuted. Now her name is men
toned at least with respect. Few liv-
ing persons of either sex have done
more humanitarian work than she has
She is a woman of indomitable cour-
age, industry and perseverance, an en-
thusiast through and through. She
lives the simple life, believing that
everything beyond a moderate supply
of material things interferes with and
retards mans nob1er progress.
Each time she comes to us her hair
is little grayer, but the same fire OF
enthusiasm is in her eye.

With tender. and gentle treatment,
Annie Besant thinks she might in time

Then Annie Besant might never have

with grim resignation the frightful
dullness of the women who surrounded
her in her husbands parish. But her

at length all the dauntless, independ-

whether there could be anything in a
church that permitted such a man as
