WOMAN is POSITIVE SHE
is SOME ONE ELSE

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-"I believe
that the soul of Nine Blavatsky has
been transferred to me and that 1 am
to follow in the footsteps which she
marked out for me. I am satisfied
that l had former human existence,
but l would rather not tell who [ was
in the past
In the foregoing words, Mrs. Annie
Besant, the new leader of the Theo-
sophist Society, expressed herself upon
her arrival here from Europe.
Mrs. Besant is on her way to Chica-
go to attend a convention of the The
osophist society, opening there next
Sunday. She was accompanied by
Mrs. Marie Bernard Russak, daughter
of the late Judge Bernard of Califor-
MIA
Mrs. Besant said that there is no
ton of souls.
Il am so positive of it." she said
that l cannot understand why any
one should doubt it. 1 don't say that
l believe that 1 was a child, l know
was a child. The transmission of soul
to the human body was so marked in
my own case that l have every neces-
sary evidence that l was number
of former persons in the past"
DO you care to say who you We're
in your former existences?'
L prefer not to, for the reasons of
association. l know that all minds
are governed by wave materialism, in
a degree commensurate with the
amount Of effort one makes in trying
to believe the theory. l Know that it
is possible for one person to commu-
nicate by thought-waves with an
other person who may be miles away.
The soul is something like electricity.
1t is not electricity exactly, it is finer
than electricity; it conveys a message
just the same as the wireless telegraph

GREAT MUSICAL INVENTION

TICN ON PIANO OR ORGAN.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12-Wonders
never cease in the world of invention,
and although a device which has le-
Gently been perfec ed and patented by
a man in Vienna, Austria, may be of no
particular use to the average business
his business, yet the mechanical posi-
bilities of it are of sufficient inter est
SO that the managers of the National
Business shows which occur in Madi-
son Square Garden, New York, Octoi-
Der II to 10 and at the Chicago coli
scum November to 16, have decided
to have one of these truly wonderful
machines on exhibition. The machine
consists OF an attachment that can be
put on an ordinary piano or pipe or
gan, which will register in characters
such as are used on ordinary sheet
music, anything that a composer may
produce by the operation of the regular
piano keys. Thus a composer may sit
'doWn and produce an impromptu COM
position. According to previous meth

the composer TO remember what he had
done and by a labOrious method, using
ruler, pencil pen, brush and water

ter this it would have been hande,1
over to an artist who would have rd-
drawn the characters ready for re-
production on zinc, after which plat
would have been made and the COM
position printed therefrom, or the
original composition would have been
given to a music PRIMER whose bust
ness would have been to set it up II
music type. With this new device all
that is necessary is for the composer
to sit down to the piano and play. the
machine does the rest This saves a
great deal of time and expense and
is one of the most wonderful devices
ever invented. This in connection
with large number of other unusual
and wonderful ideas will be seer for
the first time at the National Bust
ness shows.

IMPROVEMENT IN
STOCK MARKET
ACTION OF SECRETARY CORTEL
YOU HAS HAD REASSURING
EFFECT.

Outside interest in the stock market
has shown further Improvement this
week. Expectations of favorable
result at Tuesdays sale of $4,000, 900
12 per cent corporate stock and
bonds of the City of New York have
been largely responsible for this con-
dition; while a more cheerful feeling
in regar6 to the money uation-time
mOhey at any rate-seemS to have
modified recent fears of excessive
stringency. 1t is quite true that Sec
rotary CortelyOu's action in depositing
public funds in the banks Of the cOun-
try before conditions became actively
acute has had a reassuring effect: but
it is still more than probable that the
portant adverse influence in the mar
ket for a considerable time extending
at least over the turn of the year. We
are now on the threshold of the annual
movement of funds to the agriculture
al sections to finance the crops, a fact

call money, says Henry CleWs.
These call funds have been available
for shipment for some little time, the
banks refusing to commit them for
fixed periods, we'll knowing that the
demand must come as soon as the
crops were ready. Call money rates
have been almost nominal for some
time under these circumstances, but
are now showing firmer tendency,
and the withdrawals for shipment to
the interior may be, under ordinary
circumstances, depended upon to force
interest rates up to at least the same
basis as time money. The natural eff
feet of such an advance will be to
cause liquidation, especially of secu-
rites that banks and other lenders do
not favor as collateral. While call
money is in the vicinity of 3 per cent
lenders are not so discriminating in
their scrutiny of collateral as when
rates reach 6 and above. When the
latter range becomes general there is
usually a wedding out by lenders of
the poorer classes o fsecurities at a
time they have very limited market.
The situation, therefore, is one re-
quiring caution in buying and offers
distinct encouragement to confne
purchases to the higher grades of Sc
curities whose efficiency as collateral
is never questioned. Securities Of the
lower grades if purchased at all at
the present time should be purchased
outright, as with more active money

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-On the
eve OF Secretary Taft's departure for
the Philippines, national politicians
are taking account of stock and in

it has developed up to the present time.
The situation today gives promi-
pence to three men:
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft
and Governor Hughes of New York.
Other persons whose names have

Senator Scott, of West Virginia has
added the latest chapter to the third
term talk, declaring that the country
is Roosevelt crazy and that the presi-
deIt will be forced to accept another
nomination. From various parts Of the
country pressure is being exerted in
many ways 20 compel the president to
reconsider his determination not to
run again Some of it is sincere and
some of. it is inspired by the efforts
CT state leaders to hold onto their or

Taft is RooseveIt's Heir.
Mr. Taf,'s friends are more than
pleased with the progress of the secre
tary's campaign and entertain no fears
that thrd-term talk will accomplish
lis variegated purposes. They believe
tie president will adhere to his origi-
nal position and that Mr.. Roosevelt's
strength will be Mr.. Taft's strength

The situation in Ohio has been
smoothed out and the effect has been
marked upon the rest of the country,

secretary of war in his trip across the
continent. Senator Curtis, of Kansas,

that his state is unequivocalfy a Taft
