SAW VISION OF MURDER.

dence In Chicago to students of the oc-
cult and the BLACK art"
His interest in esoteric matters began
In a dramatic way in Chicago In 1895. He
has been considered candidate for the
great world society, unknown and I'M
named, which waits for its exponent In
the year 1000 when a new Christ is to
come to earth to teach the truth that
the world is not ready to receive now.
There was mourning yesterday among
the two or three members of this society
In Chicago when 1t became known that
he had followed a new and, to them,
false god.
While still president of the First Ma
tional bank. Mr.. Gage. hard. cold man
of money, received flash of inner vision
which is said to have changed his life.
1t was while he WAS at banquet at
the Auditorium hotel that the vision
came. He saw n scene in a far country
in which his brother. western mine
owner, was the principal figure. He re-
ceived a distinct impression that his
brother was holding a gun and that the
weapon exploded. He saw his brother
lying dead in a lonely country road.
The picture was vivid that he was
disturbed by it. and when few hours
later he received word that his brother
had been killed in the same manner as
had appeared to him in the dream, he
was so impressed that he began to study
the theories underlying theosophy.
At that time Thomas Hudson was the
great psychic In Chicago. He had writ

Great interest has been aroused
throughout the entire city by the move
ment during this past week to organize
the district nursing on a new basis and
as an auxiliary of the United Charities.
The matter has been actively taken up
by the leading society women of Bir-

inaugirated during the remaining sum

full working operation in the fall.
The cooperation of the city physicians
as well as the prominent business mems
organizations is earnestly desired.
A fact not generally known Is that all
of the poor of the city are not provided
for by the appropriations given the hos

Mrs Goodlett is very modest IN speak
