VISIT AMERICA
World President of TheOS=
Ophy Cult to Preside
at Chicago

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Mrs. Annie Be
sent, recently elected world president
of the Philosophical society, in success
sion to the late Henry Steele Olcott,
has arranged to leave here next week
for the United Stats. The purpose of
her trip is to preside at the annual
convention of the American section Of
the Theosophical society, which is to
be held soon in Chicago. While in
America Mrs. Besant expects to deliver
lectures on theosophy in New York,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati. Pittshurg and
other cities.
Even those who do not share her
belief often speak of Mrs, Besant as
one of the most wonderful women of
the age. Her career, at any rate, has
been a most extraordinary one. Early
in life she married a minister, the
brother Of Walter Besant, the novelist,
who disliked her, and who accented
the last syllable of his name because
/ she accented the first of hers.
Mrs. Besant's married life was I'M
happy. In 1874 she was legally sepa-
/ rated from her husband, at her own
suit on the ground of cruelty and was
denied the custody of her children on
tn" ground that she was an ATHEIST.
/ The real cause of the separation was
her complete detection from the Chris
ton faith and her refusal to take the
communion in compliance with her
husbands requirement Her children
however, did not share her husbands
views, and as soon as they reached
their majority returned to her roof and
continued to live with her.
Mrs. Besants public career as a re-
former, iconoclast, agitator and phi
lanthropist began with her separation
from her husband. She was a borr
altruist, and was no sooner thrown or
her own resources than she plunged
into the work of relieving the wants
and sorrows of the poor in the East
End OF London. The accounts giver
of her self-denying labors for the poo
women and match girls of that localtt,
almost pass belief. She was known
among them simply as annie" anC
addressed Familiarity by that name or
all occasions. She was their organizer
| their sympathizer and counselor, and
1t Is solemnly asserted that at one time
| she denied herself necessary food to
feed them. 1t is said that SO grea
was the attachment of the poor for her
that she could visit localities in Lon
don with safety into which the armed
| police would not venture, and that she
could dispel a mob with her presence
and voice that had defied the Who'll,
municipal force.
When she abandoned Christianity
she became a materialist But while
| writing a review of Nine Blavatsky'.
Secret Doctrine" for William SteaC
she was unexpectedly converted to the
system herself, and became from thai
time Rlavatsky's apt and humble dis.
ciple, to- whom the great teacher, when
dying, bequeathed the mysterious fin
ger-ring which she had received from
her own great teacher in the East.
Mrs. BeBant's history may be sum
| med up as member of the Church OF
| England, ATHEIST, Pantheist, socialist
| editor, essayist, educator labor organ
izer, humanitarian and theosophist
Her character is aptly described as
gifted, erratic and much-abused.
