Central Baptist church, advised his
rongregatlon to quit reading Sunday
newspapers and to quit eating Ice
cream and other delicacies, to quit
riding on the street cars to the parks

gains In the store. He charged that
merchants lie In their newspaper ad

counters are paid meager salaries and
that 90,000 little children are working
their lives out In the stores winning
bread because of the heedless desires
of the people to gratify their passions.

San Diego, Cal.. July 10.—It Is four
years since the Point Loma thooso-
phlat colony and' Its leader. Katherine
Tlngley, "Purple Mother of the Uni
versal Brotherhood," has been so con
spicuously In the limelight as it la to
day. Four years ago Mme. Tlngley
got all the notoriety and publicity even
she could desire In New York, when
the Immigration officials at Ellis Island
ordered tbe deportation of eleven Cu
ban children Imported for enrollment
In the Haja Yoga school at Point Loma
The children designated by the "Pur
ple Mother” as her "lotus buds" were
the subject of a long and bitter right
which turned the attention of the
country on the Point Loma colony and
its mysterious customs. Mme. Ting-
ley’s career and her educational the
ories ns practiced at the Raja Yoga
school were revealed and furnished
countless columns of news matter for
newspapers'all over the country.
Eleven Little Lotus Buds.
A board of social Inquiry met at Ellis
Island to decide Whether tbe eleven lit
tle Cubans should become "lotus buds”
at Point Loma or bo shooed back to
Cuba Mme. Tlngley attended the
hearings of the board and expounded
her case with remarkable skill. Her pose
waa that of what Bernard Bhaw de
scribes as a "super-woman" with Ideas
and Ideals cloud high and the regenera
tion of the world as her mission In life.
But witnesses, mnny of them theoso-
phtsts, who refused to accept Mme.
Tlngley aa leader and teacher, testi
fied before the board that If aba waa
all aha claimed aba must have under
gone an astonishing metamorphosis.
Has Had Varlsd Carter.
I The testimony revealed the fact that
before she assumed the purple mother
hood of the Universal Brotherhood.
Mme. Tlngley had had a varied career,
curiously Interwoven with rum selling,
palmistry, 25-cent horoscopes and hyp
notism. Also, before she arrived at a
realization of her own divinity she wns
much addicted to the habit of matri
mony.
She, It was shown, received her
earliest Impressions of life around n
saloon owned by her father In New-
buryport, Mass. There was a hotel In
connection with the saloon, but the
authorities had trouble which ended
Anally In the revocation of tho license.
Shaw Aida Purple Mother.
Ultimately the board at Ellis Island
decided tho children must go bock to
Cuba. But they reckoned without Mrs.
Tlngley. One of her maxims Is: "The
knowledge that wo are divine gives
the power to overcome all obstacles
and to dare to do right.” She over
came this obstacle by a personal ap
peal to Secretary Shaw, who overruled
tho Ellis Island board and allowed the
children to go to Point Loma, where
they becamo ‘lotus buds," and get up
every day to greet tho Bun.
Whatever shadows there aro over
the "Purple Mother's'' career, her pro-
feesed Ideals are lofty. The Universal
Brotherhood, which sho rules from
Point Loma. Is pledged to the ameliora
tion of mankind's lot
Hera Ars th* ''Objects.”
These ore Its advertised objects:
- 1. To help men and women to reallxo
the •nobility of their calling and their
true position In Ufo.
2. To educate children of all nations

His Interest In esoteric matters be
gan In a dramatic way In Chicago.
While still president of the National
Bank, Mr. Gage, hard, cold man of
money, received a flash of Inner vision
which Is said to have changed his life.
It was while he was at a banquet at
the Auditorium hotel that the vision
came. He saw a scene In a far coun
try In which his brother, a Western
mine owner, was the principal figure.
He received a distinct Impression that
his brother was holding a gun and that
the weapon exploded. He saw his
brother lying dead In a lonely country
road.
The pteture was so vivid that he
disturbed by ft, and when a few* hours
later he received word that his brother
had been killed In tho same manner
ns had appeared to him in iltvmn,
he was so Impressed that he began to
study the theories underlying tin*..So

was the great psjvhlo in I'hiii.K *. He
had written books on the subject and
taught the cult In In T!ilrt>
ninth street, it was under this man
that the banker took up the study.
In the opinion of Chicago Btudents
he wns n born psychic. He was In the
habit of receiving Hashes of some In
distinct thing that u*aa going to hap
pen to him. The "black art," or the
study of astrology was the next step»
and. although he communicated lndl-
ivrtly with lenders In this art, he also

Ing up a dingy flight of atepa. Jurgla
wedt up them, three at a time.
Madame Haupt waa frying pork and
onion* and had her door half open to
lot out the emok*. When he tried to
knock upon It, It swung open the t
of the way, and h* had a glimpse of
her, with a black bottle turned up to
her lip*. Then he knocked louder, and
■ha started and put It away. Bhe waa
a Dutch woman—enormously fat—
when ahe walked ehe boiled liked a
■mall boat on tho ocean, and the dishes
In the cupboard Jostled each other. Bb*
wore a filthy blue wrapper, and her
teeth were black.
Vot la It?" she aald When ah* aaw
Jurgl*.
H* had run Ilka mad all th* stray
and wa* so out ot breath he could
hardly speak. HI* hair was flying and
hla eyes wild—he looked'like a man
that had risen from the tomb. “My
wife!" he panted. "Com* quickly!”
Madame Haupt set th* frying pan to
one aid# and wiped her hands on her
wrapper. "You rant mo to come for a
case?" she Inquired.
"Ye*." xuDCd Jurgl*.
”1 haf Just come back from a case,”
ahe eald. "I haf had no time to eat my
dinner. Still—If It I* eo bad "—
"Yes—It 1*1” cried he.
"Veil, den, perhaps—vot you pay?"
"I—I—bow much do you want?" Jur
ats stammered.
"Twenty-live dollara."
Hla face fell. "I can’t pay that," ha
The woman was watching him nar
rowly. "How much do you pay?" ah*
demanded.
"Must I pay now—right away?"
"Yes; ail my customers do.”
"1—I haven't much money," Jurgla
began. In an agony of dread. 'Tve
been In—In trouble—and my money le
J on*. But I'll pay you—every cent—
ust as soon as I can; I can work"—
"Vot l* your work?"
"I have no plac* now, I must gat
on*. But I”—
"How much haf you got now?"
He could hardly bring himself to re
ply. When he said "A dollar and a
quarter," th* woman laughed In hla
"I vould not put on my hat for a
dollar und a quarter," ah* said.
Ht’s all 1’vo got,” ha pleaded, hla
voice breaking. “I roi.lt get some on*
—my wife will die. 1 can't help It—
next mont’."
"1 can't do It—I haven't got It!" Jur-
gle protested. "I tell you 1 have only a
dollar and a quarter."
Th* women turned to her work. "I
don't bvlleve you,” sho said. "Dot It
all to try to sheet me. Vot le de rea
son a big man like you line got only a
dollar und a quarter?"
"I've Just been In Joll," Jurgl* cried
—he wns ready to get down upon his
knee* to th* woman—"anil 1 hud no
money before, and my family has al
most starved."
"Var* Is your friends, dot ought to
belt! you?"
“They ara all poor," h* answered.
"They gave me this. I have done
everything I can"—
“Haven’t you got nottlng you can
sell?"
1 have nothing. I tell you—I have

your store people trust you? ” Then,
as h* shook hla head, aha want on:
"Listen to me—It you git me you
vlll be glad of It. I Vtll save your wife
und baby for you, und It vlll not scam

Madam* Haupt was pointing her

claimed—hut suddenly he heard th*
woman’s vole* behind him again:
•'I vlll make It rive dollars for yon.”
Bhe followed behind bint, arguing
with hint. "You vlll bt foolish, not
to taka auch an ofTar," ah* aald. "You

Jurats Interrupted her with an oath

him: "Vail! I will go mlt youl Com*

He want back Into tha room again.
"It I. not goot to tlnk of anybody

vole*. "I might as veil go mlt you for

try to help you. How far Is It?”
"Three or four blocks from here."
"T'reo or four! Und ao I shell k

"As soon as I con."
"Somo ,tlmo ills mont’?"
"Yea, within a month," said poor Jur
gl*. "Anything! Hurry up!"
"V. i '■ Is il.- ih, l.ii 11ii. 1 a iiuurter ?"
persisted Madame Haupt, relentlessly,
Jurgla put the money on thu table
and (ha woman counted It and eto»ed
It away. Then ehe wiped her grease
hands again and proceeded to get
ready, complaining nil the time: elm
was so fat that It waa painful for her
to move, and ahe grunted and gnsped at
every step. When they*wars on th*
■treat he kept about four paces ahead
of her, turning now nnd then, os If ho
could hurry her on by the force of his
desire. Hut Madame Hnupt could only

attention to get the needed breath for
that.
They cams at last to the house, and
to Ihe group of frightened women In
th* kitchen. .Madame llaupt removed
her bonnet and laid It on the mantel
piece.
Then they escorted her to the lad
der, and Jurgls heard her give an ex
clamation of dismay. "Oott In lllm-
mel, vot for baf you brought me to a
place like dls? I could not climb up
dot ladder. I could not git troo a
trap door! I vlll not- try It—vy, I
might kill myself already.”
At last Anlels succeeded In purify
ing her, and she essayed the ascent:
then, however, she had to be stepped
while the woman cautioned her about
the floor of the garret. They had no
real floor—they had laid old boards
In one part to make a place for tho
family to live; It was all right and
safe there, hut the other part of tho
garret had only the Jolstr. of the il.mr
and the lath and plaster ot the ceiling
below, and If one stepped un this them
would b* a catastrophe. As It Was half
dark up abovt, perhaps one of tho
others had beat go up first with a fon
dle. Then there were more out. ri.-s
and threatening, until at lust Jinitu
had a vision of a pair of elephantine
legs disappearing through the trap
door, and felt the house -hake as .Mad
am* Haupt started to uulk. Then sud
denly Anlele rame to him and tools
him by tho arm.
Now,” she said, “you K ' fcway. Do

cap. and you are only In the way. Go
away and stny away."
