President of Theosoph-
iCal Society Here, Talks
Of Her Work.

In Mrs. Annie Besant. president OF the
Theosophical Society, one cannot nnd
the attributes usually looked for N
a woman lecturer. She has a charming
personality, a low voice, and a win
ming smile that punctuates everything
she says Today Mrs. Besant Is mold
ing a series of meetings in the head
quarters OF the Washington branch OF
the society, and at o'clock tonight
she will give a public lecture in Masonic
Temple. After the lecture she will &C
to Philadelphia, where she viii conduct
meetings and make several addresses.
Reincarnation.
Mrs. Besant today discussed the
theory Of reincarhStion, which is one Of
the governing principles Of the socloty's
teachings.
'lt must not be Understood that We
teach an unending existence" she said.
THAT Is not so. A sGul passes through
50 many different lives until It becomes
perfect, and then there is no need that
it be reborn.
Our theory OF TeinCarnatiOn is that
within a person there are many infiu-
ences for good. but that all are turned
inward. as the leaves OF n bud.
Follow Inclination.
Take a savage. for instance. In his
life he does many things which to us
are repellent yet which are perfectly
natural TO him. Someone crosses him
he murders that person. He does not
sec wrong in it, but Is merely fol-
lowing his inclinations for self salts
faction. When he dies and passes out
OF that body, he thinks over the got,d
that was in his life. the better things,
when he is reborn he takes to the new
body higher aspirations, a better soul,
and attributes Of a higher being
Take man OF today. an ordinary
man Of affairs. He is full of ambition
and desire TO make higher place for
himself in the world. He spends all his
life hoping and striving for this end,
but dies without its accomplishment.
When he IS reborn, the fruits of his
efforts in the former existence are crys-
taliZed. and in the new man he has
the things he hoped for in the other
being.
Physical Requirements Missing.
Look at the musical history of the
world. You viii find that the great
geniuses did not begin a family, but
ended II. This IS another illustration
that In former beings these men worked
for such an end. They gathered together
all their forces, but the physical re-
quirements were not there. When they
were reborn il was into a family of
finer sensibilities. where every condi-
ton was proPitious to the advent of
great genius.

There is much today that cannot be
understood by us. There are conditions
governing the commercial world which
seem to us to be frauEht with every
thing that is ugly and the theory Is fire.

In reply 10 this, he Commissioners

In the angry waters of the south
fork of the Payette seven men lost
their lives Thursday afternoon. They

Joe Hamilton, Tom Highland, Frank
Fitzgerald and David Mcmillan. It

JOE CHAMBERLAIN VERY WEAK
Unable to Rise and Bow to London
Admirers.

London-After the recent reassur-
ing reports from Santa Raphael
France, regarding the improvement in
the health of Joseph Chamberlain, his
arrival in England Saturday was some
what of a shock to his friends, who
had gathered to meet him, both here
and at Dover.
Mr.. Chamberlain was accompanied
by his wife and son, Neville. When the
train arrived at the Victoria station
he was seen lying back on the cush-
ions, seemingly almost helpless. He
made no effort to rise until assisted by
his wife and son, and it was remarked
that he made a vain attempt to raise
his hat in response to a cheer from the
crowd.
Mr.. Chamberlain was almost carried
to his carriage. He drove to his Lon
don residence. 1t seems that he is
quite unable to walk by himself
Twitchings of the facial muscles sug
gested that the effects of his recent
seizure have not been completely sha
ken off.
The family authorized the follow
ing statement:

made any plans, but will certainly re

Long, Nature Writer, Says President
is No Sportsman.
New York-Dr. William ]. Long,
the nature writer, who was attacked
by President Roosevelt in a recent
magazine article, has fired another
broadside at the president. He ac-
cused the chief executive of plagiar-
ism and wildly pictured his cruelties
of hunting, either instances from
Roosevelt's published stories of ex-
periences withR big game. Concluding
his statement. SDh Long said:
1T is not your hunting to which i
object, for l also am a hunter but
your unnecessary. brutality and bar
barism. The bloody endings over
which you gloat bring ntue self-satis-
faction to a thoughtful man who has
seen the last lock il, the eyes Of =
stricken deer and who remembers that
even this small life has its mystery.
''You are not sportsman, though
you have slain your thousands; you
are not a naturalist, though you have
measured. hides and horns; you do not
and you can not understand the
hearts of the wild things, though you
have made grievous quantity OF
them bleed. 1t needs no eyewitness
nor any affidavit to support this state
ment You have yourself furnished all
