Mrs. Besant May Reply.

While Mrs. Besant has not vet
deigned to reply to these attacks dur
ing her stay in the metropolis, it may
be that she will change her mind by
the time she reaches this city tonight
and project her power of thought"
into the camp of the enemy.
In her lecture in New York last night
she said that the new Messiah may be
a woman and that the world is a cradle
of a new SUFFRAGE. Christ, she said,
will DOR revisit the earth.
After tracing the sequences of history
which were utilized as arguments sup
porting this prophecy, Mrs. Besant
spoke of more material things and gave
modern science little credit for recent
progress in aerial navigation.
Until lately" said she, the air was
not a conquered element. But in the
ancient records of India we have had
stories of ships that 1oated in the air
and from which were poured down
mea of destruction that wiped out
whole armies. Those stories we have
been disposed to class as mere chill
dren's fairy tales. Now we are begin
ming to find that they were true. We
are approaching the acme of a great
fA6 "a NAhiAoANs All illSIOIy SHOWS
that another rae has its birth at the
zenith of the other.
Tells of New Messiah.
$50 -theosophists have their eyes open
today to the impending coming of the
new SUFFRAGE. And each new SUFFRAGE
has its own Messiah. The next will
be dominated by spirit. 1t will be one
in which brotherhood will be the law of
life, in which mankind will realize that
it is unity, and not selfish comfort. that
makes for the common good; in which
there will be a drawing together rather
than a drifting apart; in which all ex-
perience will be used for the common
good. and not in trying to monopolize
for the individual gain.
1.-THE new SUFFRAGE" continued the
prophecies of theosophy, will show
greatly increased delicacy.
That is the difference today between
the Monaghan or fourth SUFFRAGE. and
the Teutonic race. You are far more
n~ervously delicate than the Japanese.
That explains the latter's great re-
sistance in battle"

Circulars started War.

The "~Tingleyites" got down to bust
ness in New York city by distributing
circulars well calculated to stir the
faetional fight between these two
branches of the cult founded by Nine.
Blavatsky.
Mrs. Besant is attacked for having
condoned the doings of C. w. Lead
beaten. of London, a former Church of
England minister, who resigned from
the British section of the t~heosophical
society some time ago,
russell says Mrs. Besant does not
represent real theosophy in any way
whatever. which stands, he says, for
purity and of life"
When the text of the circulars at
lacking Mrs. Besant were read to her
secretary he reported the conversation
TO Mrs. Besant and then, after a con-
ference with her, said: Mrs. Besant
does not propose to pay any attention
to these attacks. She is known all over
the world, as are her teachings and her
books. She stands upon her own record
and does not propose to nave any con-
troversy on the subject"

Another Blow for T.R.;
His Simplified Spelling Is
Abolished by Weather Bureau

In a formal notice issued by the
department of agriculture at
Washington, Weather. Man L. G.
Cover has been notified to aban-
don the use of simplified spelling
which was authorized by President
Roosevelt. Thoroly will hereafter
be thoroughly, and thru will here
after be through, and all OF the
other words in the. celebrated list
|of 800 compiled. by the strenuous
one will take on their old appear
ance of former days in. the official
business of the weather office.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the. order is that NO public an
nouncement. of the change was
made in Washington; news of II
was not sent out in dispatches.
No cause is given for the
change, but in measure It will
probably expediate business and
certainly 1t will do away with q
great amount of neckstretching
rubbering-that weather office Of
ficials have had to do. For the
three. years the order has been in
force the list of 500 has hung on
the walls of weather bureaus thru
out (no. that's wrong)-through-
out the country. Busy officials
writing forecasts might be seen at
most any times spasmodicn1ly
perking their heads back and
forth from the written page before
them to the list on the wall, and
SO conducting business as rsr In
struction.
Though the order is signed by
the secretary of the department,
its source Is not stated. It Is
pointed out, however, that no de-
partment chief would take It up
on himself to revoke the order Of
q former president.
