Digestion is not an exclusive

largely upon the mental state,
Il Is, to a large extent, physical.

MRS. RESANT"S GHOST.
Disemb0died Visitor Liked Buses,
but Hated To Be Sat Upon.

Mrs. Annie Besant, president of the TheosophIcal
Society arrived in this city yesterday on the
ship Philadelphia, from England.
Her hair is ivory white, cut man-fashion and
parted almost in the centre. At the Park Avenue
Hotel she said she anticipated the birth of a new
civilization, vastly superior to the present; one
which theosophY would be the chief factor in evov
ing
The basis of creation Mrs. Besant says is now
clearly enough understood by theosophsts They
have gone behind the atom. and found forces
not specified by science. These forces were more
electrical than otherwise she added.
Asked about ghosts. she said ''disemboded souls
a better term and that she frequently saw
such and held converse with them.
II met a ghost, you call II. the other day,"
she said smiling. In the flesh, this man was ex-
trenely fond of riding from place to place in omni-
buses. He had quite decided fancy for that sort
OF thing IN fact. When this dsemboded soul talked
with me the other day my friend told me that he
still liked TO ride in omnibuses, and frequently did
even yet-would do more, however, except
that the people in them sat on him
Mrs. Besant laughed genially at the recollection
In much the same way that fond mother tells
Of the bright saying OF her first child.
Drifting along the conversational current, Mrs.
Besant touched next on clairvoyant children, with
whom, she said, the world fast becoming popu-
lated. She dsapproved of their elders laughing at
such children. who frequently talked of the disem-
bodied souls they and held communion with
such children hate TO be laughed at" she said
California because of its climate and the mixture
Of races there, is producing a large number of

visit"

The fact that Miss Sigrist's absence was never

had come to be known as the woman of mys-
terry. Little ever seen of her. She never
had any callers. and she never made any &C
quaintances. The last time she alive.

spoke to the janitor's wife.
