J, Fearou's proposition for the operation of such & warehouse. The proposition as given is not eutirely correct aud does not go into detail much as some of your readers might des His proposi- tion 1 full is as foilows : ‘the plant is to be on the modern plan which 18 known as mechanical refrigeraion, Its capacity is to be 150 cars, equalto fifty tons ice melting capacity daily, the maximum cost of the machingry, building, and lot on Wwhich it 1s to bo lotuted to be about 35,000, This amount was to be raisad by stock sub- scription to be puid in as required, Mr, Fearon agreeing to take %,000 worth of the stock and operate the plant, agreeing to pay the following iuterest to the stockholders: 8 per ceut the first year, 4 per cent the second, and 5 per cont the ro- ‘maining three years of his lease, to carry in- surance and make necessary repairs on the plant at his own expense, and to turn over the plant at the end of Hve years in as good condition as when receivéd, suve for the patural wear and unavoidgble accidents, Furthermore, he agreed 1o give a stockhold- ers' rate of storage of one-hall the regular rates, based on what is known as card rate, used by all cold storage warehouses, to all stockbolders who invest to the extent of §500 or more. The kind of machiuery to be used 1s to be deciaed by a committee of the stock- holders, Mr. Fearon only stipulating that it sball be the best. This proposition certainly looks like a fair one, as for the tirst year the house will un- undoubtedly have to be run at a finan- clal loss.© At the end of the five years the plaut should be a valuable one, with ‘a market bullt up under Mr. Fearon's enterprising management. He is no smateur at the business, and he prom- ises to push out futo all the surrounding territory and make this 8 market for perish- able goods the year round. His offer of half rates to stockholders should satisfy those who think there is big money 1 the business, s they can speculate and satisfy themselvi If there are others who think they can make more satisfactory propositions than Mr. Fearon let them address their proposi- tions to 8.

The eiection was almost the only thing tulked of on the streets all day long. Nothing of the kind has aroused so much interest since the eloction of two years ago, whan the citizens's movement called out hundreds of voters who had not visited the polls for years and buried the old administration a foot desp under a showerof ballots, Busi- ness was practically suspended, and although the stores were kept opon all day no one thought it worth while to buy anything. The weather was far from what could have been desired, as the warm sun melted the suow that feli Sunday and made the sureets miniature Missouri rivers, too deep to be waded with any comfort, Notwithstanding the condition of the streots one of the largest votes was polled that las ever been known in the case of a city oleetion, To the Fifth ward, where 565 votes were polled av the county election last fall, thero were 506 votes cast at 8:30 o'clock ana the stream was still flowing back and forth at the littlo window. In the Third where the total vote is about 700, there were 530 votos poiled at the same time, and the prospects wero that alnost the full vote would be volled by 6 o'clock. [n tha Second tho voting was more quict than usual, and shortly be- fore tho closing of the polls there had been 800 votes cast, or nearly 300 less than the full vote. Things wera also quiet all day long in the Fourth ward, although a full vote was polled. Good Order Malntaine For the most part the votng was carried on in a quiet manner, John Morrissey triod to raise a disturbance in the Sixth wi was arrested, but he was an exceplion to the general rule. The saloons were kept closed all day long, with only a few excep- tions, and that fact no doubt accounted for the reign of peace. Only three bartenders were arrestod for keeping their places open contrarv to polico orders, I'red Midnight, 580 Broadway: N. Smith, 17 Pearl street, and C. Thompson, 103 Broadway, and thoy all cave bouds for their appearance this morning in police court. Corporations Were In It, One of the peculiarities of the election was the great interest taken by the motor com- pany, the electric light company and the waterworks company. Representatives of all these corporations were on tha ground trom morning until night, working hara for the success of Dr. Lawrence. Aunother feat- ure was the quiet work that was done by the democratic candidates who were Jefeated at the convention to down A. C. Graham. The breach that had been made in the democratic ranks by the nomination of Gra- ham had not been healed by any means, and the friends of Macrao and Wadsworth did a great deal of bard work to defeat their ex- opponent. A little boodle was used, but it was done for the most part so quictly as to avoid de- tection. Little tickets of the regulation pat- tern had been prepared, bearing the inscrip- tion, “Good for vne day’'s work. Samuel Joknson,” and these were passed out plenti- fully by the democratic ward workers to those who “worked” at the polls by casting their little ballots for the representatives of the faithful. Booms Up and Down. A great deal of scratching of tickets was done by both republicans and democrats in almost every wurd, so that it was impos- sibie to tell what the chances of any particular candidate wore, even after the polls were closed. The democrats did most of their hardest work to elect Gra- ham mayor and_Tinley city uttorney. For these two candidates ail others were freely sacrificed. The ouly claim made with any degree of assurance was at 5 o'clock in the Second ward, when the friends of Tibbits, republican candidate for aldermen, claimed & majority of 100 for him. About that time Saguin, his opponent, opened a box of cigars, and Tibbits’ boom went a-glimmering for the time being. The fricnds of Vie Jeonings also claimed his election when the polls closed.

Tibbetts Hurt a Tramp, A tramp attempted to board Rock Island passenger train No. 8, eastbound, at 4 o'clock yestorday afternoon at a point about 100 feet east of the Union Pacific bridge. The train was moving slowly, but the tramp was not quick onough to avoid a collision with the platform. He was struck and knocked sense- less, and narrowly escaped being run over. The train was stopped and he was picked up aud carried to tbe local depot and the com- pauy’s physician, Dr, Pinney, summoned, An investization showed that he had received 8 severe contusion on tho side of the head and also a bad bruise in the small of the back, The company had no responsivility in the case, but General Agent )l(ufl ook the gogr fellow under his protection for the time eing and sent him to the Woman's Chris- tian hospital. He was unconscious when taken to the hospital, and shortly after reaching there was seized with an epileptic fit. He was unable to give an account of himself until late in the evening, and then gave the name of Frank McMiller or McMillan and said that his home was in Ashland, Wis., where he hud very wealthy relatives, ove brother being city treasurer and another a rominent retail merchaut. He claimed to e enroute from California to Chicago. Telegrams were sent to his friends at Ash- land, but up to a late hour last pight no re- spouse had been received. Ho was ragged and dirty and had neither money nor rail- way tickets and admitted that he had beaten his way from the west. Ho is apparently between 25 and 850 years oid.

Y. e RET DOCTRINE, John- THE SE From Mme. Blavatsky's Great Work. The soul, whose body-vehicle is the astral, ethereo-substantial envelope, could die and man be still living on earth. That is to say, the soul could free itself from and quit the tabernacle for various reasons, such as insaunity, spiritual and physical depravity, etc. The possibility of the ‘‘soul”—that is, the eternal spiritual ego—dwelling in the unseen worlds, while its body goes oa living on earth, is a pre-eminently occult doctrine, especially in Chinese and Buddhist philosophy. Muny are the soulless men among us, for the occur- rence is found to take place in wicked materialists as well as 1n persons ‘‘who advance in holiness and never turn back Therefore, that which living men (Initiates) can do, the Dhyanis, who have no physical body to hamper them, can do still better, This was the belief of the antediluvians, and it is fast be- coming that of modern intellectual so- ciety in “Spiritualism,” as well as in the Greek and Roman caurches, which tench the ubiquity of their angels. The Zorvoastrians regarded their Amshas- pends as dual entities (Ferouers), apply- 1ng this duality—in esoteric philosoph! at any rate—to all the spiritual and in- visible denizensof the numbarless worlds in spnce, which are visible to our eye. Thus proceed the cycles of the septen- ary evolution, in seven-fold nature; the spiritual or divine; the psychic or somi- divine; the intellectual; the passional, tho instinctual or cognitional; the semi- corporeal; and the purely material or physical natu All these evolve and progress cyclically, passing from one into another, in a double, centrifugul and centripetal way, one in their ulti- mate essence, seven in their aspects. The lowest, of course, is that depending upon and suvservient to our five physical senses, which are in truth seven, as shown later, on_ the authority of the oldest Upanishads. Thus far, for indi- vidual, human, sentient, animal and vegetable life, each the microcosm of its higher macrocosm, The same for the wuniverse, which munifosts periodically, for purposes of the col- lective progress of the countless Lives, the outbreathings of the One Life; in order that, through the Ever-Becoming, every cosmic atom in this infinite uni- verse, passing from the formless and the inumclblu, through the mixed natures of the semi-terrestrial, down to matter in full generation, and then back again, reascending at each new period higher and nearer the final goal; that each atom, we say, may reach, through indi- vidual merits and efforts, that plane where it re-becomes the One Uncondi- tioned All. But between the Alphu and the Omega there is the weary ‘‘road,” hedged in by thorns, that goes down first, then— Winasuphill all the way; Yes, to the very end * # # Starting upon the Jong journey im- maculate, descending more and more into sinful matter, and having connected himself with every atom of manifested aruce—u.e pilgrim, having struggled through, and suffered in, every form of life and being, is only at the bottom of the valley of matter, and half through his cycle, when he has identified him- self with collective humanity, This, He has made in His own image. In order to progress upwards and homewards, the “God” has now to ascend the weary up- hill path of the Golgotha of life. "It is vhe martyrdom of self-conscious exist- ence. Like Vishvakarman, be has to sacrifice himself to hiwsell, in order to redeed all creatures, to resurrect from the many into the one life, Then he ascends into heaven indeed; where, plunged into the incomprehensible absolute being and bliss of Paranirvana, he reigns unconditionully, and whence he will redescend again av the *“‘com- ing,” which one portion of humanity expects in its doad-letter sense as tho **Second Advent,” and the other as the last “Kalki Avatara.” Everything in the universe, through- out all its kingdoms, is covscious: i, e., endowed with a consciousness of its own kind and on its own plane of perception. simply | because we do not perce: consciousness which we wan recognize, say, in stones, we have no right to say that no consciousness . exists there. There is no such thing as cither ‘‘dead” or “‘bilind™ matter, as thete is no “blind” or “unconscious” law. 'These find no place among the concgptions of oc cult philosophy. The | latter never stops ut surface appearances, and for it the noumenal essences have more reality than their objeevive counter- parts; ‘wherein it resombles the system of the mediaeval nominalists, for whom it was the uuiversals that were the realities, and the parliculars which existed only in name and human fancy The universe is worked and guided, from within outwards, As above so it is below, as in heanven soon earth; and man, the microcosm und miniaturo cony of the muc:ocosm, 1s the living witness to this universal law, and to the mode of its action. We see that every external motion, act, gesture, whether voluntary or mechanical, organic or mentil, is produced and preceded by internal feeling or emotion, will or vo- lition, and thought or mind. Asno out- ward motion or change, when normal, in man’s external body, can take place unless provoked by an inward impulse, given through one of the three functions named, o with the external or mani- fested universe. The whole Kosmos is guided, controlled and animated by al- most endless series of hierarchies of sentient beings, each having a mission to perform, and who— whether wo give them one name or another, whether we call them Dhyan Chohans or angels—are ‘‘messengers,’ in the sense only that they are the agents of Karmicand Cosmic laws, They vary infinitely in ther respective de- gress of consciousness and intelligenc and to call them all pure spirits, with out any of the earthly all “which time is wont to prey upon,” isonly to indulge in poetical fancy. For euch of these beings either was, or prepares to become, aman, if not in the present, then in a pist ora coming Manvantara. They are perfected, when not incipient, men and in their higher, less material spheres differ morally from terrestrial humun being only inthat they are de- void of the feeling of personality, and of the human emotional nature— two purely exrthly charactevistics. In sober truth,ns just shown, every so-callod ‘*‘spirit” is either a disem- bodied or a future man. As from tho highest archangel (dhyan chohan) down to the last conscious builder (the inferior class of spiritual entities), all such are men, having lived wons 0go, in other manvantaras, on this or othor spheres; so the inferior, semi-intelligent aund non-intelligent elementals are all future men. The fact aione that aspirit is endowed with intelligence is a proof to the occultist that such a being must have been a man, and acquived his knowledge and intelligence throughout the human cycle. There is but one in- divisible and absolute omniscience and intelligence in ' the universe, and this thrills throughout every atom and infinitesimal ‘point of the whole Kosmos, which has no bounds and which people call space, considered in- dependently of anything contained in it. But the first differentiation of its reflec- tion in the manifested world is purely spiritual, and the beings generated in it are not endowcd with a consciousness that has any relation to the one we con- ceive of. They can have no human con- sciousness or " intelligence before they have acquired such, personally and in- dividually. This may be & mystery, yet it is a fact in esoturic philosophy, and a very apparent one, too. 1 Three distinct repressntations of the universe, in its three distinct aspects, are impressed upon our thoughts by the esoteric philosophy: The pre-existing, evolved from the ever-existing, and the phenomenal—the world of illusion, the reflection and shadow thereof. Dur- ing the great mystery and drama of life, known as the Manvantaru, real Kosmos is like the objects placed behind the white screen upon which shadows are thrown. The actual figures and things remain invisible, while the wires of evo- lution are pulled by unseen hands. Men and things are thus but the reflections, on the white field of the realities behind the snares of Mahamaya, or the greut illusion, This was taughtin every phil- osophy, in jevery religion, ante ns well as post-diluvian, in India and Chaldea, by the Chinese as by the Grecian sages. In the former countrigs these three universes were allegorized, in exoteric teachings, by the three trinities, em- anating from'the central eternal germ, and forming with it a supreme unity; the initinl, the manifested, and the = creative trind, or the three in one. The last is but the symbol, in 1ts concrete expression, of lfle first ideal two. Hence esoteric phil- osophy passes over tho necessuriunism of this purely metaphysical conception, and calls the first one, only, the Evor- Lxisting. This is tho view of every one of the six great schools of Indian philo- sophy—the principles of that unit body of Wisdom of which the Gnosis, hidden knowledge, is the sevenih, The Secret Doctrine teaches no atho- ism, except in the sense-of underlying the Sanskrit word Nastika, a rejection of idols,including every anthropomrphic god. In this seuse every Occultist is a Nastika. —_— THOSE AWFUL BOYS AND GIRLS, Following Is a little story told by Joe Haworth, says the Minneapolis Journal A little girl, not more than 4 years old, the only child of some friends whom Haworth used to visit frequently, was always puzzling her little brain ubout thunder storms—what they were and what made those loud noises, Oae day she nsked her mamma about it, and her mama answered: ‘*Why, darling, that loud noise is the voide of God.” A few days later the little ome was playing on the lawn with her dé6its when a dark mass of clouds rolled up from the west, and the muttering of /thunder became more frequent and more pronounced, Her mother called to-hor to come in, and the little one colleeted her family of dolls in her chubby: little arms and started to toddle toward the house. Just us she reachedtho piazz steps there wus a terrific clapiof thunder, and she, hastening to get:to her muamma, looked up in the sky and said in a hurt tone: **Oh, Dod, 00’nieedn’t hollor so loud; I'se hurwyin’ d'elv."nu fast as I tan,” ", Dewroit Free Presst, A lot of children up town have organized a dramatic club, and the father of one of the youngsters was making inquiries concerning fi “What them, **Oh, we play plays,” *What kind of plays? “Trugedies; all tragedies,” this in a very tragic manner, “*But whose tragedies?”’ “Shakspeare sometimes, but we write most of them ourselves,” * 0 you do?” he asked one of was the answer.

The Curbstone Ditty Given New Signifi- cance by Pattl, Patti has sung “Annie Rooney.” And to a Chieago audience. Nota public one. but a private one, just as it was leaving after a call under the auspices of the goddess of music. Just why Patti did it will probably never be known, says the Philadelphia Press. Whether shecalcu- lated the musical appreciation of Chi- cago and attuned herself accordingly, or whether, like the tuning fork that sings in unison, she could not but vibrate such sweet melodies after meeting the tuneful swans of the city by the lake, we wot not—but still the fact remains that she sang it. Now, ““Annie Rooney’ is not so bad as the hand organs make it or the va- riety singer sings it. True, it is a com- monpluce bit of melody for all the world like other melodies of its kind, and there are thousands who can put all in it that is required, and yet there will be many who will doubtless have a curi- osity, not born of a Bach, Beeth oven or Berlioz impulse, but_ still a curiosity, to hear the famous singer degrade hersell by trolling the cadence that tells you that one’s sweetheart is ‘‘Lit-tell Annie Roo-00-00-nee.” It was not serious, however. Patti’s callers who heard it were “astounded” and ‘‘surprised,” but it is dollars to doughnuts that when some of the audiences which ‘‘Semira mide” will sing to learn that she cao also sing ‘‘Annie Rooney” our pl - friend “‘Coming Thro’ the Rye’ will be forced into an achromatic obscurity, while the new favorite comes to the front. Those who look for omens, perhaps, wili say that in this piece of abandon, this bit of late night drollery, is shown the beginning of the end of agreat voice. But why wreck it on Miss Rooney? Patti cannot but sing it badly since its commonplaceness is best inter- preted by commonplaceness, and the diva would hardly wish to be considered *‘commonplace.” If she intends doing these startling things why not let us down easy? She might by degrees ap- proach the lower stretches of the lad- der, until in the dim future some rein- carnation of **Comrades’ would be pos- sible. Some embryo Leigh Hunt among the members of the musical society that Patti so honored might write:— Patti shocked us when we met, Falling from ber high position: Ye who heard her ‘‘Juliette’ Muse ye on this exhibition. While we longed for runs and trills, Masic soft and low and spooney, Came the agony that Kills— Paui sineing “Annie Rooney !" — Bon Butler as He Ix, A Boston correspondent of the Pitts- burg Dispatch thus writes of Ben But- ler: ‘*A tottering old man, whose very breadth of fame seemed a burden to him, and whose scant white locks escaped from a black silk skull cap, attracted a good deal of attention on board the Fail River line. stenmer Plymouth a few nights ago. In spite of his feebleness, which was shown in his reliance upon the arms of his trusty colored man and a friend, one on each side, whenever he left his stateroom, and in spite of his evident desire to pass unknown, every- body recognized him, and many insisted upon shaking him by the hand. There are certain strongly marked features ubout General B. F. Butler that make him one of the easiest of our pubiic men to identify. But I wasnot prepared to sce such 4 shaky ruin of a man whose physical vigor was as remarkable almost as his mental strength in the campaign of 1884, While his books, his speeches and his combats in court show that ho has lost none of his aggressive- ness and robustintellectualivy, it is plain that physical weakness will prevent the duugfily victor of Now Orleans from in- dulging in s violent pastimes us a presidential AnVass. — Chief Arthur's D s, Siovx Ciry, la., March 7.—[Spécial Tele- gram to Tie Ber,]—Chiof Arthur spent the whole day in conference with President Hill of the S10ux City & Northern road.
