High Priestess of Theoso

HAS RUN WHOLE GAUNTLET
from Christianity to Atheism and
Then by Other Steps to Theosophy
-To Meet the American Cult
at Chicago.
Coming Events That Are of In

HIGH PLACE IS GIVEN
TO POOLE AS STATED.
LONDON, August 31.—Mrs. Annie
Besant, recently elected world presi
dent of the Theosophical Society in
succession to the late Henry Steele
Olcott, has arranged to leave here
next week for the I'nited States. The
purpose of her trip is to preside at
the annual convention of the Ameri
can section of the Theosophical So
ciety, which is to be held soon in
Chicago. While in America Mrs.
Besant expects to deliver lectures
on theosophy in New York, Phila-1
delphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and
other cities. •
Even those who do not share her
belief often speak of Mrs. Beseant as
one of the most wonedrful women of
the age. Her career at any rate, has
been a most extraordinary one. Early
In life she married a minister, the
brother of Walter Besant, the nove
list, who disliked her, and who ac
cented the last syllable of his name
'because she accented the first of
hers.
Mrs. Besant’s married life was un
happy. In 1874 she was legally sepa
rated from her husband, at her own
suit, on the ground of cruelty, and
denied the custody of her children on
the ground that she was an atheist,
The real cause of the separation was
her complete delection from the Chris
tian faith and her refusal to take the
communion in compliance with her
husband’s requirement. Her child
ren, however, did not share her hus
band's views, and as soon as they
reached their majority returned to
her roof and continued to live with
her.
Mrs. Besant’s public career as a
reformer, inconclast, agitator, and
philanthropist began with her separa
tion from her husband.
She was born altruist, and was no
reformer, inconclast, agitator, and
than she plunged Into the work of re
lieving the wants and sorrows of the
poor In the East End of London. The
accounts given of her self-denying la
bors for the poor women and match
girls of that locality almost pass be
lief. She was known among them
simply as “Annie," and addressed, . _ . , , .. ,
