Purple Mother i$ Main
Spring at Point
Loma.
By Private Leased Wire.
San Diego, Cat.. July 10.—It Is four
years since the Point Loma theoso-
phlst colony and Its leader. Katherine
TIngley, “Purple Mother of the Uni
versal Brotherhood," has been so con
spicuously In the limelight as It Is to
day. Pour years ago Mme. TIngley
got all the notoriety and publicity even
she could desire In New York, when
the Immigration officials nt Ellis Island
ordered the deportation of eleven Cu
ban children Imported for enrollment
In the Raja 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 fight
which turned the attention of the
country on the Point Loma colony and
Its mystertolis customs. Mme. Ting-
ley’s career end her educational the
ories as practiced at the Raja Yoga
school were ’revealed and furnished
countless columns of news matter for
newspapers all over the country*.
Elsvsn Little Lotus Buds.
A board of social Inquiry met at Ellis
Island to decide whether the eleven lit
tle Cubans should become "lotus buds"
at Point Loma or be shooed hack to
Cuba. Mme. Tingley attended the
hearings of the board and expoun
her cue with remarkable skill. Her pose
was that of what Bernard Shaw de
scribes u a "super-woman" with Ideas
and Ideals cloud high and the regenera
tion of the world os her mission In life.
But witnesses, many of them tl-.ecso-
hlsts, who refused to accept Mme.
Ingley as leader and teacher, testi
fied before the board that If eho wna
all she claimed ehe must have under
gone an astonishing metamorphosis.
Hat Had Varied Career.
The testimony revealed the fact that
before she assumed the purple mother
hood of the Universal Brotherhood.
Mme. Tingley had had a varied career,
curiously Interwoven with rum selling,
palmistry, 25-cent horoscopes and hyp
notism. Also, before she arrived nt a
realisation of her own divinity she was
much addicted to the habit of matri
mony.
She, It was shown, received her
earliest Impressions of Ilfs around a
saloon owned by her father In New-
buryport. Mess. There was a hotel In
connection with the saloon, hut the
authorities had trouble which ended
Anally In the revocation of the license.
Shew Aids Purple Mother.
Ultimately the board at Ellis Island
decided the children must go hack to
Cuba. But they reckoned without Mrs.
Tingley. One of her maxims'Is: "The
knowledge that we are divine gives
the power to overcome oil obstacles
and to dare to do right.” She over
came this obstacle by a personal ap
peal to Secretary Shaw, who overruled
the Ellis Island board and allowed the
children to go to Point Loma, where
they became "lotus buds," and get up
every day to greet the sun.
Whatever shadows there are over
the "Purple Mother’s" career, her pro
fessed Ideals are lofty. The Universal
Brotherhood, which she rules from
Point Loma, Is pledged to the ameliora
tion of mankind’s lot.
Hera Are the “Objeele.”
These are Its advertised objects:
1. To help men and women to realize
the nobility of their calling and their
true position In life.
2. To educato children of all nations
VISION OF SLAIN BROTHER
DROVE GAGE TO THEOSOPHY
By Private Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 10.—Lyman J. Gage
was well known during his residence
in Chclago to students of the occult
and the “black art"
His Interest In eaoterfc 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 *crne 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 picture was so vivid that he was
disturbed by If. and when u f»*vs hours
later he received word that his brother
had been killed In the some manner
as had appeared to him In the dream,
ho was so Impressed that he began to
study til© theories underlying theoso
phy. At that time Thomas Hudson
was the great psychic In Chicago. He
had written books on the subject and
taught the cult in rooms fn Thirty-
ninth street. It was under this man
that the banker took up the study.
In the opinion of Chicago students
he was a born psychic. He was in the
habit of receiving flashes of some in
distinct thing thAt was going to hap
pen to him. The “black art,” or the
study of astrology was the next step,
and, although he communicated Indi
rectly with leaders in this art, he nlso
pursued this study In quiet and was
Identified with no organisation.

"She’s—she's nil right," she nnswer-

"But th# doctor!" he panted. "Some

He seised 5tarlja by the arm; ahe
trembled, and her voice sank beneath
a whisper ae she replied: !*We—we
have no money.” Then, frightened at
the took on Ids turn, she exclaimed;
•It's all right, Jurgls! You-don't un

you only had waited!"
“And the children?" cried Jurgls.
"The children have not been home

Jurgls was standing by the table, and
he caught himself with his hands; his
head sank and hie arms shook—It
looked as If he were going to col
lapse. Then suddenly Anlele got up
end came hobbling toward him, fum
bling In her skirt pocket. 8he drew
out a dirty rag, In one corner of which
she had something tied.
"Here, Jurgli!” ehe eeld, ”1 have

She unwrapped It and counted It
out—thirty-four cents. "You go now,”
she said, "and try and get somebody

help—give him some money, you; he
will pay you back *ome day, and It will
do him good to have something to
think about, even If he doesn't succeed.
When he comes back, maybe It will be

And so the other women turned out
the contents of their pocket-books;
most of them had only pennies and
nlckela, but they gave him all. Mr*.
Olssewekl, who lived next door, and
had a husband who was a skilled cat
tle butcher, but a drinking man, gave
nearly halt a dollar, enough to raise
whole sum to a dollar end a quar
ter. Then Jurgls thrust It Into tils
pocket, still holding It tightly In his
fist, and started away at a run.

Madame Haupt was frying pork and

of th* way, and he had a glimpse of
her, with a black bottle turned up to
her lips. Then he knocked louder, and
she started and put It away. 8he was
a Dutch woman—enormously fat—
when she walked ahe rolled liked a
small boat on ths ocean, and the dishes
In tbs cupboard Jostled each other. 8he
wore a filthy blue, wrapper, and her
tssth were black.
Vot Is H?" she said when she saw
Jurgls.
He had run Ilk* mad all the way
and was so out of breath he could
hardly speak. His hair was flying and
hla ayes wild—ha looked like a man
that had risen from ths tomb. “My
wife!" h* panted. "Com* quickly!”
Madame Haupt sat th* frying pan to
on* tide and wiped her hands on her
wrapper.' “You vant me to com* for a

"Yes,” gasped Jurgls.
“I haf Just come back from a cos*,’'
she said. “I bat ha>l no time to sat my
dinner, mill—If It la so bad”—
"Tea—It Is!” cried he.
"Veil, den, perhaps—vot you pay?”
"1—1—how much do you want?” Jur
gls stammered.
"Twenty-live dollars.”
His face fell. "I can't pay that," he
said.
The woman wa* watching him nar
rowly. "How much do you pay?" sht
demanded.
"Must I pay now—right away?"
"Tea; all my customers do."
‘‘I—I haven't much money," Jurgls
began, In an agony of dread. ‘Tv*

gone. But I'll pay you—every cent—
Just as soon as I can; I can work"—
"V’ot la your work?"
T have no place now. I must get

"How much htf you got now?"
He could hardly bring himself to re
ply. When h* said "A dollar and a
S iu.trter," the woman laughed In his
ac*.
“I voutd not put on my hat for a
dollar und a quarter," sh* said.
•’It’s nil I've got," he pleaded, his
voice breaking. T must get some one
—my wife will die. I can’t help It—

Madams Haupt had put back her
pork and onion* on ths stov*. Sh*
turned to him and answered, out of th*
steam and not**: "Git ms ten dollars

“I can’t do It—I haven't got 111" Jur

“I’ve Just been In Jail," Juegls cried
—he was ready tt> get down upon hla

money before, and my family has at
most starved.”
"Vers Is your frlonds, dot ought to

"I have nothing. I tell you—I have

“Can’t you borrow it, den? Don’t
your store people trust you? ’’ Then,
as he shook his head, she went on:
“Listen to ms—If you git ms you
will be glad of It. I vlll save your wife

vont find nobody to go out on a rainy

Jurgls Interrupted her with an oath
of rags. “If I haven’t got It," he
shouted, “how can I pay It? Damn It,
I would pay you If I could, but I tell
you I haven't got It. I haven't got It!
Do you hear ma—I haven't got It!”

fore Madams Haupt could shout to
him: "Valtl I will go mlt you! Cornu

He want back Into the room again.
“It la not goot to ttnk of anybody

vole*. ”1 might as veil go mlt you for

''Three or four blocks from hers."

"Some lima dls mont'?"
“Yes, within a month," said poor Jur
gls. "Anything! Hurry up!”
"Ver* la de dollar und it quarter?”

Jurats put the money on the tahl-
and the woman counted It and Flowed
It away. Then she wiped her greasy
hands ugaln ond pror-ed-d to get
ready, complaining all the time; «ho
was so fat that It was painful for her
to move, and eho grunted and gasped st
every step. When they were on th-
street he kept about four pares ahead
of her, turning now and then, as If lie
could harry her on by th* force of fils
Ire. liut Madame Haupt could onlv
go so tar at a step, and It took all her
attention to get the needed breath for
that.
They rams at last to the house, and
to the group of frightened women In
the kitchen. Madame Haupt removed
Iter bonnet and laid It on tha mantel
piece.
Then they escorted her to the lad
der, and Jurgls heard her give an ex
clamation of dismay. "Gott In Hlm-
mel, vot for haf you brought me to a
place like dls? 1 could not climb up
dot ladder. I could net git troo a
trap dopr! I vlll not try It -vy, I
might kill myeelf already."
At last Anlele succeeded In pacify
ing fi. and -h- .'--a', ft the ascent ;
then, however, sh* had to be stopped
while the woman eautloned her about
the floor of the garret. They had no
reel floor—they had laid old boards
In one part to make a place for the
family to live; It was all right and
ante there, but the other part of the
garret hod only the Joists of the Hour
and the lath and plaster ot the calling
below, end If one stepped on this there
would be a catastrophe. As It was half
dark up above, perhaps one of the
others bad best go up first with a can
dle. Then there were more outcries
and threatening, until at Inst Jurgls
■■■ a vision of a pair of elephantine
legs disappearing through the trap
door, and felt the house shake as Mad-
ain- Haupt started to walk. Then and-
denly Anlele rame to him and took
him by the arm.
"Now." she said, "you go away. Do
as I tell you—you have done all you
can, and you are only in the way. Oo
away nnd stay away.”
