Mrs. Annie Besant’ teresting Lecture at the Universalist Church Last Night. CLAS® DISTINCTIONS, CAUSED BY WEALTH AND POVERTY, AND EDUCATION PRINCIPALLY RE- FERRED TO—THE PHILOSOPHY CALLED THE- OSOPHY CAN FURNISH A REMEDY. An all-powerful love that lives for service, acting under the guiding star of theosoph: This, in the opinion of Mrs. Annie Besant, the panacea for the ills that threaten to destroy the structure we call modern society. Such at least was the general drift of her address at the Universalist Church last evening. “Dangers Menacing Society” was the subject chosen for her talk, and an audience that fairly filled the church gathered to hear what this much-talked-of disciple of Madame Blavatsky, theosophist, reformer and advanced thinker would have to say on a subject that effered such a splendid opportunity for radical expression. There was nothing so very radical about her remarks, however. She took but a few of the more imminent dangers, and while her discussion of them was certainly uncon- ventional it was hardly so to the extent that fome of her auditors ecemed to be prepared jor. ‘MRS. BESANT'S PERSONALITY. Mrs. Besant herself is decidedly an interest- ing personage, whether one agrees with her theories of life or not. In appearance she is decidedly pleasing without being particularly striking or handsome. Her face is refined and intellectual toa degree and her hair, slightly tinged with gray, makes for it a very effective settmg. As a speaker she is interesting, clear and logical, and beginning quietly and in a low voice the soon warms up to her subject and commands the closest attention of her hearers by the very earnestness of her words. Last night she spoke without notes. Her voice is musical and clear and her command of lan- guage is remarkably good. MAN AS A SOCIAL ANIMAL. In disenssing the dangers menacing society Mrs. Besant began at the very beginning—with the biologist’s definition of man as a social ani- mal. This she characterized as being a part of the truth, but not the whole of it. In the case of a hive of bees all work together for the com- mon good, according to the rule, from each according’ to his ability, to each according to his needs. ‘The queen bee is queen not because she rides about her realm in a couch drawn by six horses, but because she is the working mother of them all. “‘In the case of man,” continued Mrs. Besant. “we seo n lot of animals not working together for the greatest weal of all, but rather as a con- tending, struggling mass, tach one striving for his personal guin. "Such is the society of today. Such will not be the society of tomorrow. “There are many dangers undermining the honeycomb of human society. Of these some lie upon the surface, while some lie beneath, and of these those that lie upor. the surface aré sometimes less dangerous than the unseen that menace the welfare of man. Of the former the first and most striking is the class distinction of wealth and social standing that is not gov- erned by relative efforts nor is dependent upon individual merit. There is the wealth of the millionaire and the poverty of the pauper. The one begets idleness, the other despair, and the union of idleness and despair begets social decay. INFANT MORTALITY OF THE PAUPER CLASS. “In the vast population of London,” Mrs. Besant went on, earnestly and feelingly, “one in every five dies in prison, in jail or in the work house. Of the two classes, the well-to-do and the pauper, the average age at the time of death of the former is fifty-five, of the latter twenty-nine. and I answer you that it is on account of th frightful infant mortality in the latter clas: Of the poor fifty-five out of 100 die before five years have passed over their baby heads. Of the wealthier class but eighteen die within the same period. ‘This difference is caused by the fact that the poor have been starved for gen- erations. Can the civilization live that mur- ders its members by the thousand? Murders, Tsay, because preventable death is murder. WHAT RICHES DID AND DOES KEPRESENT. “This is one of the dangers that threaten so- ciety. It is more apparent among us in England, I will admit, than it is im America, but the tendencies are in your midst as well. All this trouble has arisen in the transition stage from the old form of things to the new. In the old form riches did represent that which was of service to the community. those days riches, mounting not to the mil of today, represented labor, effort,frugality and other manly virtues. Today it may represent but success in gambling—not that vulgar form of gambling that you punish by imprisonment in jail, but gambling nevertheless. In your systew of today you are raising up a brute class at can only be kept in subjection by fear, and de you think a society can exist that is based upon fear? You ask me why this difference DANGER OF EDUCATION. “Into this society you introduce another danger that should really be man’s salvation. If you want to keep a helot class you should keep them ignorant, for thus only can you keep them safe. The pauper member of that class knows no way of spending his leisure time save in the beer saloon and the gin palace. But you take the children of that class, place them in schools that offer the greatest con- trast to their homes, you educate their minds and bodies to a knowledge of better things, to sense of the beaaty of harmony and of color and to much that is best and noblest in life, md do you think that they are go- ing to “be satisfied then with the methods of life in the state whence you have brought them? You have educated them to be dissatistied with the life they are forced to lead, and an educated proletariat is being raised up in your midst. Much of the growing dissatisfaction comes from this sort of educ tion. I would not put a to education, bu I would sg alter society that every educated man will find that which will satisfy his lon, and his needs. In the ke in London when a general strike on ail the railroads was talked of it was scen that London was within measur- able distance of actual famine. I can imagine an educated proletariat saying to the leisure class: ‘Who are you that we should toil and slave all the days of our life to bring you food and clothing and fuel and minister to your every want? Do you wonder that there were perings of an uprising and a trial of a? DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIGION AND THOUGHT. “These are some of the dangers that lie upon the surface. One of those that lie below is the difference that exists between what you call your.religion and «hat you call your thought. in England they buried Darwin in Westmin- ster Abbey, though they cursed him during his life. ‘They’ buried him im the abbey as a forced admission that science is stronger than the church. In England, and I presume among ‘ou, too, religion has become a matter of the ip and not of the life, and it must beso as long a» Christian societies take Christ as their nominal head and give the lie to every truth He taught. “Our own bishop of Peterboro’ recently said that society would go to pieces within » week if the sermon on the mount was actually lived upto. He was frank and honest, it must be Imitted, but I would admire our good bishop more if he should give up his €25.000 a year and his palace in Peterboro’ and preach his re~ ligion for nothing. It is foolish to erect a sys- tem of society upon that in which you have no belief. I know materialists today “whose lives might serve as examples to any teacher. I know men today without faith in a God or in @ hereafter who yet devote all their lines to, the good of their fellow men.

MUST MAKE SOCIETY BETTER IN OUR OWN LIVES. “Society of the present is as we made itin the past, and if we would have it better in the fu- ture we must make it better in our lives today. The measure of growth is the measure of sacri- fice. ‘There is hatred in your society. Youcan only conquer it by love. From poverty you can learn strength, and you can never sympa- thize with unger unless you have been hungry yourself. There could néver be rich nor poor if the spirit of universal brotherhood ruled over all. Would a rich man let a poor woman starve if he realized that she was his sister and of the same biood? Theosophy teaches: that if you make thought right then life and action Will be right, for ideas are greater than acts.” ‘St. Mark's The annual choral festival of St. Mark's League takes place at the Church of the Ascen- sion, 12th street and Massachusetts avenue, on Friday afternoon.

She Wanted to Die. This morning soon after midnight a tele- phone message was received by Dr. J. M. Bar- ber that his services were needed at house No. 926 C street northwest, where an inmate had at- tempted suicide. When the doctor reached the house he found & big, fat woman cailed “Barbara” who was nearly dead from the effects of an ounce of chloroform that she had taken in an effort to end her existence. The other women in the house were doing all in their power to relieve her, and had been walking and beating her to keep her alive. Antidotes were administered and after three or four hours the woman was all right. ‘This morning she complained of feeling badly and said she would never do so again. This was her second attempt. fe Potatoes From Nova Scotia. The schooner J. B. Martin, Capt. A. H. Gib- son, arrived here yesterday from Nova Scotia with a cargo of 5,600 bushels of potatoes. Acting Health Officer McGinn inspected the schooner and gave the necessary certificate for the boat to enter under the health regulations. Under the McKinley bill a tax of 25 cents per bushel has to be paid on the cargo, which will render it necessary for the potatoes to sell for — amount than if there was no tariff on em. ee Getting Over the Grip.

Frank Hollingshead died suddenly at his residence 465 Missouri avenue last evening about 7 o'clock. He was out Sunday, but was taken ill that evening with what proved to be his last illness. As was wellknown to his numerous friends, Capt. Hollingshead has not been in good health for some yours and re- cently his condition has become further com- plicated by an attack of the grip. He was notsup- posed to be in acritical condition, however, and thenews of hisdeath wasa great shock to his friends, many of whom had not heard of his sickness. Capt. Hollingshead was widely known in this city, where he spent the greater part of his life. He was born in Baltimore and at the time of his death he was fifty.three years of age. | When ayoung man he went into the steamboat business and at the opening of the war was in command of a steamer plying between Baltimore and the James river. He was also in command of a mail steamer running between this city and Acquia creel pt Hollingshend in 1875 purchased the steamer Arrow, which was used to make trips to Mount Vernon. He retired from active business « number of years ago, having acquired acompe- tency. Of late years he has taken a great deal of interest in horse races and was prominent in management of the old jockey club in this city. He was a man of pleasant address, of a nial disposition and had a large circle of friends. He was unmarried. ee . A DRUG CLERK'S SUICIDE. Fires a Bullet Into His Head and Dies Shortly Afterward. A piece of crepe on the door of house No. 806 New Hampshire avenue was placed there this morning after the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. John 8. Goldsmith, who resided there. His death was due to violence at his own hand, and the wound was inflicted by a bullet. The report of a pistol was heard by the mem- bers of the family, and when the room of the unfortunate man was reached it was discovered that he had fired the fatal shot and the bullet had entered his head. It was then about 7 o'clock and Goldsmith was found in bed with the smoking revolver near him. He was not dead and Dr. Gardner was sent for to do what he could, but the wound was a necessarily fatal one und the physician's efforts were of no avail, for the victim died about 8:30 o'clock. ‘The deceased was about thirty years old and was unmarried. He was a drug clerk. Friends of the dead man think that he was suffering a temporary aberration of mind, brought on’ by ill health and the use of morphine to subdue pain. Coroner Patter- son viewed the body and gave a certificate of death in accordance with the facts. —— pee THE COMING KACE MEETING, What President Draney Says of the Encour- aging Prospects. The applications for stabling room at Ben- ning during the coming race meeting continue to pour in, and the club has found it necessary toadd even more stable accommodation than the new twenty-four-stall stable which has been mentioned in Tux Star. “We have already arranged to acommodate 330 horses,” said President Draney to a STAR reporter today. “Through the kind permis- sion of the Ivy City Association the overtiow of horses will be stabled at their grounds. Every mail brings applications for additional stable Toom, and. at" the lowest estimate there will be 400 horses here when the meeting begins. “An encouraging sign for the racing pros- cts of Washington is the fact that both the Bwyer Bros. and Green B. Morrie will have racers here this year. Mr. H. D. Mcintyre, secrutary of the Brooklyn Jockey Club and former Washingtonian, was here lately and as- sured me that both Mr. Morris and the Dwyer Bros. would send several of their horses to race, and would besides be present in person. Mr. Mcintyre further said that it was gener- ally conceded in and around New York among racing men that Washington would experience the most successful meeting ever held in the District of Columbia. “Oh, yes, the presiding officers have been chosen. Mr. Clarence MeDowell of Baltimore will actas presiding judge. Mr. McDowell possesses the confidence of owners as well as the public, and his decisions, therefore, give universal satisfaction. Jimmy Rowe will hold the flag, which insures a fair start at the post. “Mr. Ditmus of New York has the pool privi- lege and there will probably be from twenty- five to thirty bookmakers, with the usual French mutual system. The many improv ments which the club has made at the grounds will, I am sure, be appreciated by the public.” posi! 2 sees Recent Robberies Keported. B. J. Marbre has reported to the police that some carpenter's tools were stolen from a new building on B street. Some time between Friday night and Satur- day morning Michael J.

Wizsox, Pastor oF Isperexpent Metuopist Cavarca, Wasarxotoy, D. O. To Tae Pustic. During my service in our late war I con- tracted catarrh in my head and throat, which later on developed into asthma in ite most se- rious form. When the paroxysms were upon tne the distressing cough and ceaseless gasping for breuth, nearly amounting to suffocation, caused the greatest of suffering, almost too much to bear. Sleep at such times was impos- sible, and the slightest exertion greatly ag- gravated these distressing symptoms. In spite of all my efforts for relief, both asthma and catarrh continued and even increased in se- verity, until, by advice of friends, I applied to Dr. Liguthill of this city. His’ careful and thorough examination and investigation of my case inspired me with confidence, and I placed myself under his care, and within three months’ time he effected a complete cure of the catarrh as well as of asthma. My cough is gone, I can breathe as freely as any one, sleep soundly and feel perfectly well. This great success in my case seems almost a miracle. In addition to the above, I would also mention that I am short of stature and weighed over two hundred pounds, with a tendency toward apoplexy. To avoid the danger from that cause, ighthill de- cided to reduce my weight, and during the above period a reduction of over thirty pounds was effected, to my great delight and comfort. I cannot praise Dr. Lighthill too highly for his careful attention and skillful treatment of my case. With profound gratitude to the Almighty and with prayers for blessings upon Dr. Lighttill I make this public statement, hoping that simi- lar sufferers will profit by it. I would be pleased to see any one interested desiring further in- formation. Jacon D. Witsox, 787 Gth st. se. Washington, April 16, 1891. Cure of Deafness And Discharge from the Ear, From Mr. T. E.

My Dran Dr. Licnram: It gives me great pleasure to state that you effected a remarkable cure of deafness and dis- charge from the ears in the case of my cousin, Marcus C. Roessle, and that the case has proved as permanent as if wasradical. I feel sure that without your skillful aid my cousin would have been a deaf man all his life. Knowing of other cases in which you have been equally success- ful, I cheerfully give you leave to refer to me at any time, and hope that your practice in Washington will prove « disting ‘success.
