Special to TUB nr.p. . ] Sonio Paris news

of the marquis linvo bctm Inquiring imil ex
pressing anxiety about him. The Purls La
Prcsso states tliat do Mores is routined to his
bed In ti hotel at Brussels with a severe
wound In the right shoulder , received in a
iluol with n leading Paris duelist growing *
out of a violent discussion on antl-Scmltlsui.
The duel tooU place several days ago , but
lias been kept n profound secret.
Thejluol previous * to the ono mentioned
hcrctn.rcsultcd fatally for the opponent of
the Marquis do Mores. That also had Its
origin in the antiSemiticcampaign. . Captain
Mayer ot the engineer corps , and n professor
in the Eeolo I'olitcchnlquu , challenged the
marquis , and in the combat received a wound
in tlio chest from which ho died the evening
of June Oil , last. Do Mores and the seconds
wore arrested , brought to trial , and declared
not guilty of the charge resulting from the
fatal duel.
The llcry Captain Cremleux-Foa , n Ho-
hruw ofllecr , subsequently wanted to light
the marquis , but transferred to Dahomey
and there met his death in battle.
Itcatilt ol' n Ni'\vHmpiT | War.
Both duels arc the result of the race war
that has bctm carried on In the Libre Parole ,
* the anarchist paper , of which IMouard Dm-
mont is the editor. M. Dmwoiit , the well
known anti-Semite , who accused Deputy Bur-
tlcau of accepting a bribe from Baron Koths-
child , the deputy being nt the time engaged
iu drafting bill relating to the Bank oZ
Franco , was promptly prosecuted by M. B > : r-
lcau , and being found guilty .Juno in was sen
tenced to thrco mouths' imprisonment and to
pay a line of 1,0'JO francs.
The marquis is a great friend ot M. Dm-
mont , and in the trial appeared as a
witness in his favor. There were sev
eral noisy scenes whllo the trial of
M. Drumont was in progress , and at once
it became necessary to clear the
court. M. Drumont , who defended him
self , called upon the jury to shout with him :
"Down with the German Jews 1 Franco for
the French 1" When ho left the court ho re
ceived nn enthusiastic but disorderly greet
ing from his friends , who shouted : "Loun
llvo Drumont 1 Down with the Jews 1" Sev
eral were arrested.
The Boulangist Deputy , Lagucrro , dial
longed the Marquis do Mores to light n duel
the latter in giving evidence at the Drumoul
trial having accused the former of accepting
n bribe from the Bank of Franco. It ap
pears , however , that Captain Mayer had the
previous call.
Denies tint Story.
Le Bvenment denies the story of do Mores
/rr = ulubl , and says : " \Vo have been assured 01
good authority that while. , the marquis i :
absent from Paris , ho is weft and has hai
jio duel with anybody. Lo iSvcnmcnt's coi
rcsponOeht at Brussels was telegraphed am

price of his assistance In securing the issue
of the Panama Canal lottery bonds. Not a

WHAT THEOSOPIIY TEACHES
Mrs. Besant Expounds the Tenets of the Old-

Todnj' Muting Toward n Urn *
cral llrnthcrliouil.
It would bo hard to tell Just exactly what
is most to bo admired in Annie Hesant , for
different Individuals sco her in different tem
peraments , no two alike. Her brain Is n
wonder-working wand , yet she has physical
characteristics that stand out just as prom
inently ns her broad intelligence. She has a
line , Intellectual face which shines with an
inner light , and a voleo of pleasing sweet
ness , It eyed in a deeper register than Is
usual wilit- her sex. Every idea she utters
comes clca'r mid distinct ; every word is
suited to the sentence of which it Is a part ,
"Whatever these present may have thought
of the theories which Mrs. Besant advanced
last night at Unity church , there was prob
ably but ono opinion of the Icoturo Itself ; It
was wonderfully elucidative and gave the
midleneo something new to think about re
garding the "outlines of thcosophy. "
When Mrs. Besant stopped to the front of
the platform she was met by a pleasant ripple -
plo of applause which was quite different
from that usually heard at lectures. The
sound in itself was impressive 'and seemed
as though every hand was gloved. For up
ward of an hour and a half the high priestess
of the "now religion" spoke , and during most
of the tlmo you might have hoard a pin drop
so deeply did Mrs. Besant hold her audlonco
by the power of her forceful reasoning.
Kapldly reviewing the history of the tlieo-
sophlcal faith and Us teachings in order to
prepare her hearers for a more dellnito ex
planation , shu passed to n discussion of the
physical body , the astral piano and mental
matter , touching upon reincarnation inci
dentally.
Our Other .Solves.
"There are three kinds or stages of mat-
tor. " said Mrs. Bcsaut , "physical matter ,
which our senses are nblo to cognize ;
astral matter , that which the scien
tists are beginning to speak of
as other , in which magnetic- and
electrical forrcs work an intermediate
stage between physical matter and the
third kind and mental matter , not recog
nized fully by science , but necessary to a
trui ) theory. Everywhere there Is motion.
Manifested in the physical plane , it is ob
jective and familiar ; manifested in the astral
plane , it is electrical and magnetic force , displayed -
played in the mental ] > luno , It is thought.
"Woliuvc eyes which vibrato to certain
elements we call light , and wo see the pic
tures that are photographed upon oui
brains. Every vibration opens up a now
knowledge , and if in addition to the senses
wo are possessed of we could evolve anothei
sense , so that wo would have six senses ,
another world would open to us Invitingly !
Just such a sense is being evolved on the
earth , coming out of latency into now life ,
and this now sense may be called though !
impressions.
"Prof. Lodge in one of his lectures says
that 'thought can pass from brain to brain ,
and he is now engaged in experiments whicl :
prove the truth of his startling proposition. '
In natural sequence the lecturer then
illustrated what occurs in the astral world
elucidating the facts of subconscious life
that of sleep phenomena , sleep walking
mesmeric trance and hypnotism , which deal :
with the physical rather than the luentu
sldu.
"Hypnotism , " sh& said , "begins with the
physical side. It works upon the physica
nature by mechanical contrivances , wearies
confuses and dominates ittind then works ut
through the astral to the mental plane at
footing the will. Mesmerism works in ai
exactly opposite direction. "
In conformity with this thought she toK
of the wonderful success which Paris physi
clans have mot with in producing burns 01
the body by mental impressions , causing de
composition of certains tissues of the bed ;
corresponding to the burns produced by lire
pictures of these experiments being on exhibition
hibition at ono of the leading Parisian boa
pita Is.
Will's Inlliirucn on Action ,
"Tho will of one person works upon that o
another , transfers a thought to the mini
stulT , and with it works down through th
astral to the physical plane. The mesmerl
or hypnotic state can bo utilized in n iiuinbu
of ways. In some cases with mairnlllcent rt
suits. .Each has Its possibilities of good am
evil. Transfer of pain and disease is real
and ono who attempts anything by cither o
thcso forces should be thoroughly informci
and careful.
' The thought body is a body made by th
mind for its own functioning. The humai
mind can leave the body , go where you sem
it , see occurrences , come back to thu bed ,
and tell of occurrences seen while In u stut
of coma.
"If you implant a thought in a brain it i
a matrix of a deed. Suggestion of crim
oueo planted Is almost sure to bo followed b ,
the crime itself. Ono person may thei
commit a crime which another ha
thought and thus really bo an innoccn
criminal. The thoughts of ono become th
actions of others both now ami in the future
Who is it that has not thought how pleasan
It would bo to have some ono removed , an
thus murder is engendered } Who has no
thought upon greed ofgiilu , nnd thusuvurlc
is created. Thcso 1111 the atmosphere an
blossom out in the daily jircss as frightfi
murders , breech ot trust , ami kindred crime
which wo stand from aghast , yet wo mu ,
have been the unconscious promoters u
thcso sins. How much does it then bocom
us to think pure thoughts , of love , of gciiei
osu.v , of kindliness so that deeds of nobillt
shall bo done instead of deeds of violence
Think pure thoughts and good thoughts , fo
upon them depends the future of the race.
"If you beilovo in reincarnation , you wi
I understand why one child is born to do rlgli
l and another child is born to do wroiif
i Every child is brought into the world with
character. Thu infantile mind is imduvc

Plan of Dotermlnlng the Salaries of Public
School Principals' Discussed ,
SUGGESTIONS OF CHAIRMAN BABCOCK
Contractor * llrforn tlio Ilonrd Seeking K
tension of Tlmo Tulk About Ticking :
the Ulirurjyimrtcrs In tlio
City Hull.
The effort commenced before tlio present
term of public schools to change the system
of paying principals by allowing them fixed
salaries , instead of allowing thorn amounts
varying according to the number of rooms in
the buildings over which they preside , fulled
nt the meeting of the Board of Education
last night.
Chairman C. K. Habcoelrof the salary com-
ntlltoo favorably roixirted the schedule of
salaries for principals of public schools which
has boon before the board since last August.
Tlio list has already been printed several
times. In it the principals are allowed
salaries ranging from $700 to SUOO , accord
ing to the Importance of the schools over
which they preside. Mr. Uabcock explained
that the proposed change not only simplified
matters , but prevented a looseness of man
agement nnd thu doslro to divide thu pupils
of a school into as many classes as possible ,
us under the present system of offering a
premium for every additional school room
occupied.
Ho explained what ho believed to bo the
drawback In the existing method of deter
mining a principal's salary , and dwelt uim
the improvement to bo found lathe proposed
change.
Mr. Gibbs , a member of the salary com
mittee , did not coincide with Mr. Uabcock ,
but the matter was not discussed to any
great extent when put to a vote , and was
defeated by a tie vote. Messrs. Coryoll and
Wohrorrefused to vote on the question ;
Messrs. Uabcock , Elgutter , Uccsund Popple-
ton voted iu favor of the change , and
Messrs. Gibbs , Jayiies , Powell and Presi
dent Spaldlng voting against it.
Helping Out Contractor * .
Doncckon & Draytoti , contractors at work
on the Harlmau school building , complained
they were delayed lltty-foiir days while
waiting for Joists and as this throws them
into the whiter they claim au extension of
time.
Several patrons of Forest school petitioned
that Miss M. Neppa bo appointed principal
of that school.
Uoth mrttera were referred to the proper
committees.
Contractors' claims approved by the board
architect and allowed were : Hlchard Smith ,
for work on Lothrop school , $ ; t , 00 ; W. G.
Higgins , Lothrop school , } ! ! 0li ; Dovcrill
lire * . , Saratoga school , $2,000 ; Beverly and
Wooly , Ilartmun school , $1,000 ; Duncan
Fiulaysoii , Windsor school , $ .1,000.
Chairman Popploton of the judiciary com
mittee reported there was no reason to re
fuse the request of contractors for school
heating apparatus that they be allowed only
15 per cent instead of 30 percent of their
money until their work had undergone ouo
season's test , provided their bondsmen did
not object.
Messrs. Uabcock and Gibbs of the committee -
too on claims offered a report authorizing the
president and secretary of the board to draw
a warrant in favor of Treasurer Henry Bollu
for $10,0-2.50 to be used in paying the semi
annual interest on $400,001) district bonds ,
held by Kountzo Bros. , bankers. Now York
City , which is due January 1 , ISO ; ) .
Air. Gibbs reported that the Janitor of
Park school had been removed on complaint
and another man temporarily appointed in
his place.
Resolutions offered by Mr. Uaboock
were adopted requiring the superin
tendent of schools , the secretary of
the board and the chairmen of
the teachers and salary committees to
proceed at once to adjust the salaries of
principals and teachers for the present term
in conformity with rules 110 and 111 of the
board , the effort to have the rules changed
having failed , and the president and secre
tary were instructed to issue warrants in
payment of the December salaries ol
teachers , janitors and all other regular em
ployes of the board , after the pay roll has
been approved by the committee on claims.
Looking for Holler Oimrtcrs.
Mr. Elgutter offered a resolution by which
the board was to address a request to the
mayor and council to allow the board the
rooms Iu the city hall intended foi
the public library. Attached tc
the resolution was a note fron
Secretary William S. Curtis of the board ol
directors of the public library , stating thai
the library board had no intention ol chang
ing its present quarters until the complotloi
of the new library building , thus leaving tin
road clear for the Hoard of Education U
secure the rooms in the city hall. Mr. El
gutter explained that the rooms in the citj
hall were very desirable and would meet tin
wishes of the board in every way.
Several members Were vigorously opposcc
to moving into the city hall. Mr. Poppletoi
objected to the terms exacted by the muiiicl
pal authorities , insisting that too much wai
left to the discretion of the other parties t <
the contract. The cost of heating , lightiiu.
and running the elevator might be hiugnltlei
into a very big thing by the city Jlnanclcri
after the board is beguiled into the city hall
Mr. Powell said he was not iu favor o
going into tlio city hull. Hu thought the citj
olllcials insolent , ill-mannered and not dis
iwscd to do tlio right thing. Ho was dis
agreeably impressed by the city hall pcopli
and did not favor qulotly submitting to thei :
terms.
It was finally decided to have Board Attorney
tornoy Haxtor and City Attorney Connol
consult over the matter and decide upoi
some satisfactory agreement by which tin
board can safely and with becoming dlgnlt ;
enter tlio city hall.
Mr. Elgutter thnn offered a resolution in
structiiig the board architect to propan
plans for tbo furniture for the new quarter !
of the board. This was not voted upon.
Some Koiitlno Work.
Mr. Jaynes offered a resolution allowini
150 dozen scissors and a quantity of drawlni
material to the public schools to bo need I

A PLUCKY WOMAN.
A YIIIIUK School miit-in Trout Itoqton Who
.Miiile u Mark In Dakota.
"Tho pluckiest man I ever saw yv-as a { l
woman , " said Tom O'Farrol of Fargo to ttie \
Globe-Democrat man , as ho brought his rich !
(
Irish brogue and big black pipe over to tha
crowd of story tellers that had pro-cmptcd a
corner in the Lindell rotunda. "With the
llrst big rush to Dakota came a pale faced
young Boston schoohnarm who looked as
though she had ouo dainty foot in the grave
nnd the other hovering on the verge. She
took up a claim and the boys saw that she
pot the finest picco of land In the county.
Then wo set to work and built her a house.
Every mother's sou of us proposed to her bo-
fm-o wo got the roof on. She was just the
sweetest lltilo blossom that over set lire to
the masculine pulse , and she hud a way of
speaking to every man that led him to believe -
lievo that ho was all the world and part of
Coney Island to her.
"After wo pot the house built she pot up a
little supper for us seven great rough bears
all of us clean pone. Well , sir , after she'd
fed us , nnd made mueh of us , and thanked i
us in hoi- sweet way for her co/y little home ,
she told us that she was already engaged to
n poor devil of n law student back in Now ? !
England , who was working his way through ' ' *
college. Wo all felt pretty blue , but wo s
swore we'd look out for her until her dude j
won his spurs , and wo did. Wo broke land
for her , planted and harvested her crops ,
and bho repaid us by gathering us about her
evenings and reading to us and singing old
homo songs that seemed to us holler an-
thorns than over rolled through the marble
aisles of a grand cathedral.
"For two years she lived there alone ,
superintending her farm and improving it ,
and when OHO day the stugo brought a pale-
faced young attorney to Big Bow. ho found
a plump , rosy-checked Dakota girl and u
homestead worth $11,000 waiting to receive
him. Ho is now the leading lawyer nnd ono
of the wealthiest men in the Htato , and ho
owes it all to his wife. Every man for 200
miles around is in love with that woman , and
would crawl ou his hands and knees through
a briar patch to serve her. "
