Fear a General KafHr Uprising.

johannesburg, S. A., July 9.-The
panic among the inhabitants Of the
Rand district through fear of general
Kafir uprising, is increasing. Fresh
crimes are reported daily and the fran
tic farmers and their families are living
in hourly terror of massacre. Monday
a gang of Kaffirs and coolies descended
upon the lonely farm of a family named
Rees, pillaged the place and after
threatening to murder the entire family
went away into the veldt dragging the
wife of the farmer with them. In the
veldt they outraged the woman and fed.
A store at Roodspoort, in which many
of the inhabitants of the town had bar
ricaded themselves, was attacked by
swarm OF Chinese coolies. The inn
promptu garrison put up such deter
mined resistance, however, that the
assailants were driven off after several
fuslllades.

Ancient Greeks -" Starvation
One of the Features.

Los Angeles, July 8. = Lyman D.
Gage, Secretary of the Treasury under
President Mckinley and Roosevelt, has
taken up his residence at Point Iona to
study theosophy under Nine. Tingley.
The distinguished fnancier, who was
seventy years of age on June 18th last,
has taken this step, he says, IN accord
ance with instructions received IN a
dream.
Eli Gage, of Chicago; Mrs. Brainerd,
of Denver, son and daughter of Mr..
Gage, and Mrs. E. E. Miller, a niece,
also influenced Mr.. Gage to join the
Tingley universal brotherhood" cult.
Its avowed object is to promote the
study of ancient and modern religions,
PHILOSOPHERS and sciences; to investigate
the unexplained laws of nature and the
physical powers of man, and to estaD-
lish faith in the reincsrnation OF souls.
Mrs. Tingley herself has memory ex-
tending back to 1900 B. c., she says,
when she and Nine. Blavatsky capered
around on the banks of the Nile.
WEIRD CEREMONIES.
The life lived by members of the Point
Iona colony, which Mr.. Gage will adopt
is one succession of wierd ceremonies.
The men are dressed somewhat as
Greeks and Romans were wont to array
themselves white undershirts, suit
of pajamas. reaching to the kIce, below
which the leg is bare. Draped about
the shoulders is piece of cheesecloth.
Passing into the sacred ground these
men range themselves facing the sun.
There is short reading, perhaps from
the "Chita, perhaps one OF Spots let
ters, which this inspired dog contributes
regularly to the brotherhood, and then
each steps down and picks up a little
handful of dirt and tosses it back again.
That is all. Fx-communicsted Tingley-
ties state that in her dog, Spot, Nine.
Tingley found the reincarnated soul OF
William @. Judge, former High Priest
of the Universal Brotherhood, and
founder of the American School of
Theosophy.
Starvation is feature of the theoso-
phists regime. By degrees Nine. Ting
lev has cut down their rations and she
comforts those who gets quarter Of an
egg apiece, piece of toast, a walnut
or two and few raisins, by saying this
is an "ideal " breakfast, and will make
those who eat it more refined and
spiritual.
