WEIRD ARE IDEAS REVEALED
Joseph M. Wade is Dead, Once Be
Iieved HE Was Spiritual Husband
of Nine. BlaVatskv.

Boston.-Joseph M. Wade, wealthy
resident of Dorchester, who had been
decorated by the mikado in recogni
ton Of his charities to widows and or.
phans of Japan, died in the belief
that he was the spiritual husband OF
Madame Blavatsky, the theosophicai
leader, according to the story revealed
in masters report filed in the superb
or court.
The report was upon the suit of Her.
bert w. Burke, executor of Wade's
estate, against Yamanaka & Co., deal
ers in Japanese curios, to compel them
to restore to the estate a bill of sale
of collection of Japanese and orien,
tai articles valued at between $4,000
and 100000 Burke alleged that Wade
was induced to afIix his mark" to the
bill when he was too feeble to under
stand his acts. His contention was
sustained by the court.
Wade. according to the masters re.
port, had an occult room" filled with
Japanese art objects, where he went
TO commune with spirits. From the
"other world' he gained the belief
that he would begin to get better or
grow rapidly worse by December Is,
1904. When that day passed without
noticeable improvement in health, the
report states, Wade shut himself up
in his room and died seven weeks
later.
1t was when Wade was shut up In
this room, the report alleged, that the
bill was signed.
