Form Of Government.

The government of the KOreshan
Unity involves a somewhat intricate
system. There are three main depart
ments, namely, the Assembly Trium-
plant, the Collegiate System and the
Society Arch-Triumphant. As presid-
ing centers of these three departments
there are three chambers, namely, the
Stellar Chamber, the Planetary Cham
Der and the Signet Chamber. The four
primary officials of the Stellar Cham
Der are men, the six of the Planetary
Chamber are women, and the twelve Of
the Signet Chamber are six men and
six women. Each chamber has Its dis
tinctive sitting. The pre-eminent of
the Unity is the presiding officer Of the
Pre-eminent COncilium, composed of
the three chambers, with representa-
tiyes from the faculty of the univer-
sity, from the Department Of Equitable
Administration and from the Patrons
of Equation. The Patrons of Equation
are the people at large who in any ca
pacity belong to the KOreshan system.
No measure enacted by the body Of
the Pre-eminent COncihum shall become
a law without the Endorsement of the
Prime Counsellor (Koresh) and the sig
nature and privy seal Of the pre-emi-
nent. There is also a Judiciary, com
posed Of twelve members. Article 3
of the constitution reads: There shall
be no provision of the constitution of
the KOreshsn Unity that shall conflict
with any law of the United States or
with the constitutional law ofany State
in which the Unity may have occasion
to operate. >"

Educational Affairs.

Much attention is given to practical
as well as theoretical education in al
most all branches of learning. A
primary school is maintained for young
er children, in which music, vocal and
instrumental, is a prominent study.
Higher classes, attended by adults and
youths, are held hourly each day, IN
which algebra, bookkeeping, languages,
music, science, art and other branches
are taught by competent persons. A
practical surveyor demonstrates his art
by taking boys into the fields and woods
for actual practice; while carpentry,
boat building, furniture making, pat
tern making, printing, mechanics and
other useful industries are taught in
shops to youths and adults as a part Of
the daily routine.
Many and Varied Industries.
Besides agriculture, this industrious
community is engaged in growing cit
rus and other fruits. Almost every kind
Of fruit which will grow in Florida is

New Leader Of the Lee County Colony
Succeeds the Departed Teed.

Fl. Myers Dec. 26.-Dr. Cyrus R;
Teed, head of the KOreshan Unity
died last Tuesday at EsterO, the head
quarters of this colony, which is in Lee
county.
His death was kept a secret by his
followers nearly all the week, in the
hope it would be resurrected from the
dead, as the doctor had often asserted
would certainly be the case, and his abb
surd statement was generally credited
BY his devoted disciples.
The body was carefully watched all
day yesterday, as it was believed the
miracle of raising the dead would
surely take place, and when night fell
some of the bolder members Of the
colony expressed doubt, and as signs Of
decomposition are evident they insisted
on burial, but Victoria Gratia, the new
leader, has succeeded in keeping the
body one more day today.
New Head Of KOreshaHs.
Following the death Of her alleged
husband, KOresh, Victoria Gratia,
whose name, in real life, is Victoria
Martin, became the head Of the KOre-
shan Unity, and now leads the disciples
of the belief that the world is round
and that the inhabitants thereof live

There was no fighting required at

Nevertheless they were far from being

instrumental in bringing about this
