them fed, while she desired to have them
starved first, because they could then more
quickly kill out the lower animal nature
in those children. She believed in giving
them little food. and the doctor protested.
This she told him personally, He con-
tinued:
II was going through the grounds with
Mrs. Tingley. We came to those babies
and one was only few days old She was
explaining her methods of starvation. She
said that in one case she withheld food
twenty-four hours. The child was about
year old She said that the childrens lower
nature was subdued and broken-that the
quickest way to bring 1t about was to adopt
the course of Withholding food until the
child came to its senses-until its soul APP
peared."
In reply to question touching the
status of the institution the deponent said:
''Truthfully. 1t is not theosophical So

DR.. Anderson said he left the institution
because his influence had been destroyed
for the reason that he refused to regard
Mrs. Tingley as divine being.

home and headquarters is at Point Iona,
in southern California. His reasons for

cause have. personal friends here: be-
cause the climate is more agreeable; be-
cause 1t is just outside OF the rush and
roar of the world; because here one can
lead the simple life.
beyond these reasons there are two in
stitutions established here which to me
lend much interest TO the place. The first
is the United States military reservation,
with its fine system of harbor defenses, its
companies of artillerymen, etc The Sec
ond is the Raja Yoga school for children
and youths OF all ages.
THE school was established and is be-
ing carried on by Katherine Tingley as
leader and offlcial head OF the Universal
brotherhood and Theosophical society
throughout the world. The school excites
my interest, and the magnificent work it
is doing in the development of clean.

young lives stimulates my hope for the
future OF the society.

Seeking NOtOriety.

The Point Iona institution figured
prominently in the public prints in 1902,
When Madame Tingloy, the purple mother,
imported eleven children from Cuba to be
educated at her RaJa Yoga school. She
got more than an ordinary share of noto-
rtety at that time. A strong effort was
made TO take the children away from her
on the ground that the school was not a At
place for them, but she won out by an ap-
peal to another secretary Secretary Shaw,
after the special inquiry board at Ellis
Island had decided that the youngsters
should be deported.

had been guilty Of reprehensible conduct.
This she denied, and he was obliged to tell

Mr.. Cassatt began his career with the
Pennsylvania as rodman. That was in
the opening year of the Civil War. After
two years Of tramping over a goodly
portion of Central Pennsylvania he was
assigned to She engineering corps, and
as an assistant engineer helped TO build
the Connecting Railway, linking the
Pennsylvania to the Philadelphia & Tren-
ton. Here he attracted the attention of
his superiors, and in 1864 when the
Pennsylvania got control of the Phiadel-
phia & Erie, was transferred to Remove
as resident engineer of the middle di-

a short time, of a subsidiary road, the
Warren & Franklin. In April of 1866

 Sheriff Crawford's resignation came into the executive office yesterday morning and the Governor yesterday afternoon announced the appointment of Mr. Butler.

The people of Houston County decided at the polls in the November election that he was fitting man for the place by electing him by practically unanimous vote for the position and no other re- commendatlon was deemed necessary
 Mr. Cowart was highly recommended by many of Bullock County's best cit lens for the office of Tax Assessor. He was narrowly defeated in the Demo- cratic primary by the deceased Asses sor and there was practically no oppo- sition, many of the supporters of the deceased officer giving him hearty re- commendation,
