TO TRY ORIZRBA.

Chevalier O'Rourke and Party

Try a Hard Proposition.

Chevalier O'Rourke [pseudonym of Aleister Crowley] and his aide Eckenstein [Oscar Eckenstein] expect to leave today for the mountain of Orizaba which it is their intention to inspect from top to bottom, inside and out. They will be accompanied upon this expedition by John Benjamin Marshall, the manager of the International stenographic bureau. Mr. Marshall has a career as a mountain climber himself. He is a native of Kentucky and during his younger days was identified with the mountaineers of his state.

The gentlemen expect to be gone for several days.
