A Leader in Reform Work.

One of the prominent young women
of Wales is Miss Maud Rees Jones,
who has lately become widely known
throughout Great Britain in philan-
thropic circles as a leader of young
women in reform and educational
work. Miss Jones is a good speaker
and has the necessary organizing abili-
ty which has called her to the-front
among the philanthropic women of
Wales Her home in one of the quiet
Wales towns is the center of ACTIVITY
for the working girls clubs, which she
has formed for mutual profit and hap
piness- All the young people whom
she has enlisted are pledged total abb

efforts for social and educational ad-

rived in London with three great
-esoteric objects in view: To discred-
it the claims of Mrs. Annie Besant,
who declares that she is possessed of
the soul of the late Nine. Blavatsky,
the founder of the modern theosoph-
ical school of philosophy; to rehabil-
itate the memory of the late William
@. Judge of New York, who has been
denounced by Mrs. Besant as a char
1atan, and to establish in the heart of
the New Forest, near Ringwood,
7theosophical academy similar to that
maintained by Mrs. Tingley at Point
Iona, Cal. Through lack of funds, if
not through lack of personality, Mrs.
Besant's grip upon English theosoph-
lists has been gradually waning, and
for some time past the advocates OF
-esoteric culture have sorely felt the
need of an enthusiastic leader, who,
with power to make converts, should
also cause funds to flow into the de-
pleted Golfers of the society.

the last five years more than $500 of
money orders, thinking they were re-

money had been duly sent to her old
mother in Germany
This incident recalls the fact that
there has accumulated in the national
treasury millions Vt dollars, possibly
ten millions, since the establishment
of the present system in 1864.
An official, speaking of the system,
said: This vast accumulation of
money is steadily being augmented
from year to year, and unless the peo-
pie become better acquainted with the
character of a money order transac-

become almost fabulous. This money
has accumulated through no fault of

lower, selfish nature by the higher,
