NEW YORK, May 81, 1907.
The Mahatma Agumya Guru Parama-
hansa. one Of the most remarkable men in
the world, a Hindu scholar and ascetic, and
the Head of the Yogis, as the yellow-rObed
monks of India are known, has been In
New York for a week or more, living quiet
ly and receiving his disciples and students
at a private residence which they have
rented for his accommodation at No. 80
West SD street.
A mahatma is teacher. The term indi-
Gates no rank power or authority, but, at
the same time, those to whom 1t is applied
have the highest degree of both. The Ma
hatma Agumya Guru Paramahansa is con-
sidered the greatest living exponent Of the
Vedanta philosophy, the oldest code of
ethics and method of spiritual development
known. which. until now, has never been
presented by a genuine teacher to the I'M
thinking people of the western world. This
philosophy. for it is not a religion. Is found
ed upon the Nedas, the sacred books of the
Brahmans. the word veda meaning not a
single volume, but the entire Brahman liter

religions that have ever been developed by
human minds. At the same time the We

the graves upon the earth to which all
men must come and for weeks gave him

was a scholar and a profound student of
the Vedanta philosophy, recognized the call.
and. understanding his sons situation and
the influences that were moving him, did
not oppose his action. But lis mother re-
sisted until she became convinced that if
he refused the call 1t would bring upon
him and his family great misfortunes.
Another reason why she yielded was that

After his period Of contemplation in the
cemetery he resigned his position upon the
bench. gave up his fortune and walked
naked as a beggar to the forests of the
Himalayas, where he spent twelve years in
contemplation until enlightenment came

give him a rank higher than that of any
temporal prince or authority. The proudest
rajah in India would not dare enter his
presence without asking permission. and
would bow to his feet. He never enters
city, but always Is welcomed as the guest
of people of high rank who live in the
suburbs. and who place his chair In an ar

There are two other mahatmas of equal
sanctity among the Yogis, but they do not
speak English and for that reason he was
selected to carry the light into the western
world.
He accepts no money He holds that
true teacher cannot be paid for his knowl-
edge. He depends entirely upon his dis
ciples to furnish him food and clothing and
shelter. Like the wandering Yogis of India
that Kipling describes, he possesses moth
ing in this world but knowledge, which he
will impart to those who sincerely desire It;
but very few people are capable or are
deemed worthy of receiving the mental
training known as Yoga, a method that
goes back into time beyond the first rec
ords of human speech. Its professors as
sert that it is not code; it is not re-
ligion; it Is not ethics, but it is a combina-
ton of all. They declare that it seeks no
proSelyteS; it conflicts with no other faith:
1t attacks no cherished beliefs; ii engages
in no controversies; II needs arguments,
but is simply the publication of the mind
and the cultivation of the spiritual vision.

misunderstood; he never seeks to convince

FARMERS UNION PLANS.

That the Farmers union has de-
termined TO control the cotton sit
uation, and that there are forces
now at work which will bring about
such a consummation, a little inJ|
sight into the plans of this orgah.
ization will remove all doubt in the
minds of anyone who may be scep-
teal.
For months the leading spirits
which are back of the Farmers
union have been at work OH care
fully mapped-out plan. Each day
brings them nearer TO their goal.
They propose 10 erect sufficient
number of cotton warehouses in the
cotton growing States to house one
half oil an average crop. In other
words, they expect to have a suf-
ficient amount OF warehouse space
for September, 1908, to house
6 900, 600 bales of cotton, that be-
ing considered about one-half of an
average crop.
PLANS OF THE UNION.
The Farmers union will have
warehouse capacity by September,
1908, for 6, 900, 600 bales of cotton.
They propose to erect OH an aver
age, two county warehouses in each
of the 7Ia cotton-growing coun
ties Of the South. These WILL be
1900 bales capacity; and they will
have central warehouses of large
size TO complete the capacity.
In round figures they propose to
expend $40, 600, 900 before Septem.
Der, 1908, in the erection of ware
houses.
The farmers of Texas are out of
debt; they have meat and feed and
about 500, 900, 900 in cash.
The merchants and bankers of the
South have entered into the ware
house plan with enthusiasm. 1t is
proposed that the South shall con
troll the cotton situation, aud that
the minimum price shall be ten
cents. -Houston Post.

UNWORT HY AN OFFICER
LIEUT.. TRUMBo'S NOTE TO A DE-
sERTER's MOTHER.

First Lieut. George A. F. Trumbo, 18th
Cavalry. was convicted by court martial
convened at Fort Monroe, Va. Of the
charge Of conduct unbecoming officer
and gentleman, and sentenced to be
reprtmanded and to be confined to the
| limits Of his station for the period Of two
months.
The specification alleged that Lieut..
! Trumbo wrote letter to woman in
Clarksburg. w. Va. in reference to her
son. an enlisted man who had served under
his orders. in which he used the following
language:
1t gives me great pleasure to inform you
that your son (name givem, who is about
the most worthless scoundrel I ever saw
| Is deserter from the United States Army
sincerely hope to see him before the bars
for at least two years. Hoping this will
be a source of coincidence to you. I re-
main. etc"
In the charge this letter was described
as being "disreputable and cruelty dis
graceful. and the writing and sending of 1t
manifestly conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman
The court found Lieut. Trumbo guilty Of
the specification, except the words describ-
ing the letter as "disreputable etc." and
not guilty Of the charge, but guilty Of con-
ouGt 10 the prejudice OF good order and
military discipline.
In acting upon the case Mai. Gen. Grant.
commanding the Department Of the East
approved the sentence, and said:
. After nearly ten years service as an en-
listed man and as officer in the army
Lieut.. Trunrbo has committed an offense the
trial and sentence for which should impress
upon him. even If his length Of service has
not that the exercise OF courtesy Is essen
tial In the office which he holds
The cruelty Of Lieut. Trumbo's express
ed hope that the recital Of his opinion of
soldiers worthlessness would be "a source
OF coincidence to the soldiers mother passes
beyond the pale Of the most ordinary de-
cency in the regard Of the feelings of
others The court in excepting from the
specification the expression used to char
acterize his action has evidently been
moved by Lieut.. Trumbos impaired health
at the time he committed the offense and
In doing so he has shown a consideration
for him which should more deeply impress
Lieut.: Trumbo with what he has so ag-
excessively imposed on another.
I'm the opinion of the reviewing au-
thorlty the sentence Is entirely inadequate.
1t should have been sufficiently severe to
guarantee that an officer of the army would
not again be guilty Of such conduct.
Lieut.. Trumbo will be released from ar
rest and returned to duty"
