New Religious Cult Founded at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 23.-True soul mating in matrimony is the fundamental principle of a new religious cult in San Francisco.

"The Astrologers of the United States of America" is the society's name. It demands of its devotees allegiance to one supreme intelligence and the acceptance of the doctrine that free love is iniquitous and that no two persons should marry excepting when the horoscopes of the individuals are harmonious.

Articles of incorporation of the society were filed with the county clerk and a church edifice soon will be erected. It is intended to disseminate the creed all over the United States from San Francisco. A college is to be instituted to train teachers of astrology.
