Nine. BlavatSky. after establishing a
branch of the Theosophical Society in
Bombay wrote unanimously of the
eSoteric doctrines of India, and contin-
ued to spread her creed in the far east.
Among her pupils was Mrs. Besant, an
English woman, who married a clergy
man, but separated from him after be-
coming a free thinker Soon after Nine.
Blavatsky's DEATH in 1891 Mrs Basant
was recognized as one of the heads of
the theoSophic movement. Mrs. Katharine
A. Tingley, who enjoyed a brief leader
ship, having meanwhile estab lished the
Universal Brotherhood Organization" an
offshoot from the parent order, and hav-
ing founded her famous colony at Point
Iona, Cal. Finally. about year ago.
Mrs. Besant became high priestess of
the entire order. Some of her follow
ers believe that Nine. Blavatsky's spirit
animateS her.
Although not identical with the theo-
sophie movement itself, the propaganda
of the Tiger Mahatma" and his asso-
ciates who are working for converts in
America has much in common with the
Blavatsky doctrine. Reincarnation, the
philosophical view of all things and hap
penings, and the belief in the mystic and
occult are among the many tenets of the
mahatmas.

what Is of more interest to the general
reader is the purely personal side az '.'
picture presented.
One of Mr.. Cookies most enthusiastic
interests was that which began when.
after he expended $4,000 on his estate,

and Harriette A. Dllays to remove 10

1880 as the Chestnut Street Seminary.

Cooke soon became the recognized patron
of the institution, which, under the later
conduct of Frances f. Bennett and Sylvia
J. Eastman, gained celebrity, and was
largely frequented by the daughters OF
financial men. a distinction which II still
retains.
Although in Mr.. Oberhoitzer's opinion,
jay Cooke could not have been prevented
from making money II he had been cast
on Selkirk'S Isle. he made II not for its
own sake, but out of his love for devel-
oping natural resources. and his bust

malice or the spirit OF revenge.
Jay Cookies brother. Henry O. Cooke.
came with him to Washington when the
great Cooke bank opened here, and was
later sent to France owing TO his intimate
acquaintance with the language, manners

Theosophy involves SO many abtruse
features and mystic beliefs that the lay
mind finds ii difficult to grasp. even when
its cardinal principles are set forth. But
in the popular idea the theory of reincar-

doctrine This theory goes hand in hand
with the law of balance, or karma. which

And with the arrival Of the Tiger Ma
hatma came the announcement not gen.
orally known before, that Brahmin mis-
sionarieS were at work in big cities in
many parts OF the country, giving secret
lessons in control of the mind by bodily
discipline. which includes brain concen-
tration, mastery of the breath and other
ascetic and mysterious practices. all hav-
ing for their end the development OF a
condition in which the spiritual is su-
preme and the purely physical is eradi-
Gated.
More remarkable still. the pupils of the
mahatmas include men and women of
undoubted intellect and extraordinary in
telligence, persons prominent in the edu-
cational financial and social worlds, an
conscious of the weaknesses which the
mystic cult promised to overthrow and
each eager to test It's powers.
