The university now bas, he said. » capital of $8,000,000 and an income of $500,000. Yet this immense income is inadequate, for last year the expenses of the university amounted to $524,000. In placo of the few buildings that could be checked off on one’s fingers there are now fifty buildings on University Hull. A grand brary building has been erected, costing $200,000, with an endowment giv- ing an incomo of €30,000, of which $15,000 goes toward purchasing booke, Dr. Schurman pointed out that while California, Wisconsin and other states bad provided in- comes for state universities New York had not given a cent to Corneil.

The tables were decorated prettily with the Cornell colors—carnelian and white, The | Indies who were present begged that the cus- | toms prevailing at college banguets—wine and | cigare—should not be relinquished.

ANNIE BESANT. The Interpreter of Madame Blavatsky Talke to Her Followers. WHY THE DECRASED EXPONENT OF THEOSOPET WAS MISUNDERSTOOD —THE SCIEXCE OF THINK ING—THE CRIMINAL AND BIS STATE OF MIXD EXPLAINED AT SOME LENGTH. A few minutes in the presence of Mra. Annie Besant impresses one with ber intense serious vess and the fact that she is a woman of extra- ordinary mental ability who, continesd that she is rignt, intends to spread her beliefs in the face of all obstacles. Evidently of undaunted courage she will not allow rebukes or ecoffs or laughter to distract her from her purpose. Mra, Besant is a woman of medium height, with strong physical constitution, When talking she stands erect and but seldom changes her pomtion except to throwher body slightly forward when intending to give especial em: phasis to some particular statement. She has & strong face, capable of mirroring her feelings to a minuto degree, but withal its lines are sof of having suffered ii trials and tribulatio marks. Determinati: her forehead. the streaks ed by an appearance asely and of having met which had left their Her hair, which begins to show white, is brasbed straight back from her fo: adand is worn in aloose knot at tho back of her neck. TRE INTERPRETER OF MADAME BLAVATSKT. Since the death of Madame Blavatsky Mra Besant bas announced herself as her disciple and interpreter as the propounder of theosophy. Last night the rooms of tie Blavatsky Lodge, 919 F street, were weil diled with an audience. which it was not difficult to see were theosophists oF at least well ncquainted with the beliefs of that theory. They listened with unabated inter- est while Mrs. Besant went over in an informal talk of hort duration the basis of the theosophic faith and the best | mavner in which it should be disseminated, | had a bold, | Her talk was to the members of the lodge, | Company though the doors were most aitractive style, which holds the closest at- tention. Her language is of the beat and at the same time ir clear, concise and logical, Her statements are made as her beliefs and she does not atk one toaccept them without believing them. Her talk last night was informal. It was not intended asa lecture, but simply asa friendly conversation with her followers in this city with Mrs. Besant as the principal conversation ist. The apenker explained that brotherhood in ite fullest and broadest sense was the basis of the Theosophical Society. Brotherhood with- out distinction as to race or color, sex or age, creed or belief. A member of the society must accept this and nothing more was required. There were further theories, thoughts and traths which many of the more advanced theosophists knew to be true, brotherhood was all that is asked of one who €esired to jom their society. Without it no #0- ciety can endure and no nation can exist, No DESIRE TO FORCE TRUTH. There must be no desire on the part of mem- bers to force others to their “truth” It was Tight that one should hold his opinion, but not thoosophical to force those opinions upon others. Dogmas are necessaty, but one must be careful how they interpret them for othere; “be careful how we dogmatize for our neighbors.” i between one another. Mrs. Besant the theory of reincarnation ax a fact. “It is one of the teachings which mnkes the world moro intelligible.
