ANNIE BESANT TO COME TO AMERICA NEWS FORECAST OF THIS WEEK High Priestess of Theoso phy Sails Soon 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 terest. 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, . _ . , , .. , „„ „,i „ next Sunday the beginning of their familiarly by that name on all occa- .. „ , New Year 6668, and following this will come the numerous other feast days ^nd religious holidays.

G., August 31 — The day which Labor takes unto her self as a national holiday also marks the end of the vacation and the re sumption of activity after the usual dullness of the dog-days.

Postmaster General Meyer and Sec retaries Straus, Cortelyou and Bona parte are expected at their desks, and Secretary Metcalf is to leave the Pa cific coast some time during the week on his return to Washington. The condition of health of Secretary Root will force him to remain away yet awhile; and Secretary Taft will pass the greater part of the week in Yel lowstone park before resuming his westward Journey.
