MR.. DOWIE TALKS RIGHT OUT
A Characteristic Address by the
Australian Healer.
He scores the Clergy and Has No
Use for the eNewspapers-Spea
Again This Afternoon.

The Rev. John Alexander Dowie, of
Zion, Chicago, formerly Congregational
minister in Melbourne, Australia, delivered
one OF his characteristic addresses in the
auditorium OF the Central Union Mission,
at noon Yesterday, to an audience of about
two hundred people. Superintendent Nc
Michaels opened the meeting with singing
aud Mr. Wheeler prayed.
Mr. Dowie rccited the eleventh chapter
of the Gospel Of St Luke, and then after
more singing and prayer, gave talk
of nearly an hour on the Lords prayer.
His address was so difruse, including
a description of st. John, the Baptist, a
severe castigation of King Herud, his wife,
her divorce, the scene between the prophets
OF Baal and Elijah on Mount Carmel, and
a scolding to the Chicago newspapers, that
it is impossible TO give more than the
merest outline OF his speech, which con-
tanned many very clever points.
Among other things he said: The impor-
tant thing is to know how to pray so as
TO be sure of an answer" a statement
that cur Lord was baptized by immersion
created litucil opi'-ii-
of a few drops of water on your nose when
you are an infant in arms does not make
you a Christian said Mr.. Dowie; which
remark was received with loud HAmens,
PRAISE the Lord, etc.
The backbone of Johns success as q
preacher was -abnegation. y The man
who knows how to pray does not pray
long" 1T is one thing to know thing
yourself, and another TO impart your
knowledge" He amused his audience by
a clever mimicry of the preacher In
fashionable church who prays the Lord
to give him a message and then pulls
carefully prepared sermon out of his coat
tail pocket After he has read it 1.-THE
choir sing their fol-de-rols, the organ plays
a diddle-de-dee and the preacher thanks
God for His word.
"some of you look as If you thought

heaven. l have prayed many very trouble
some people there. Never pray TO the
Holy Ghost
y reporter of local paper asked me
this morning for notes of this sermon. l
told him my notes would be seen in the
faces Of those who listened to me. Always
pray to the Father: never to Jesus Christ
Tons of letters are burned up in the Dead
Letter office because improperly ad-
dressed; so with prayers addressed TO any
one.but Our Father. In John xvii, which
contains Our Lords Prayer for His dis
Ciples, he addressed the Father, either
relatively or directly fifty-siX times in
twenty-siN verses.
A man in the audience asked How
about st stephen, the first Christian
martyr, who when dying prayed Lord
Jesus receive my SPIRIT This was a
puzzler for Mr.. Dowie, and he called the
questioner "a mosquito" Continuing he
said: Jesus never healed anybody 1t
was the Father. My Father doeth the
work, was Jesus testimony. 1 would as
soon pray to the Virgin Mary or st.
Joseph, as to Jesus Christ"
He conclued with a very funny I.cita-
tion of the man mentioned in the gospel,
who was called out of bed in the middle
of the night TO give three loaves OF bread
TO an unfortunate neighbor
I'm smash all the newspapers and
send them to he'll, where they belong, -
he cried fiercely. II said to those in
Chicago who would not notice me, Il w ON t

1t is not generally known that tn e
government at present is paying more
attention to the Notifications in and
about New York harbor than at any
other point. This is due to the fact,
according to the statement of an army
officer high 10 the councils of the ma
ton. that the possibility of trouble
with Spain has, in the governments
eye, developed into probability. This
being the case the necessity is greater
than eve" for knowing exactly what
the Notifications of Sandy Hook, where
Fort Hancock is located, amount to. 1t
is abso utely necessary to know just
how far away the gunners at the fort
can strike blows that Will tell upon the
war vessels of an enemy.
AT present, it is the accepted fact
that the only vulnerable spot on the
coast line in the vicinity of New York
is ju-t off COney Island, for a vessel
could, on calm day, lie about five
miles off this spot and throw shell 5
into the borough of Brooklyn. Up to
the present time there has been great
danger OF the entrance through the
sound, in case o. war, of hostile vessel :,
and it was thought that this could not
be forfeited in quick time But since
the talk of an English invasion last
year the government has put some big
guns down in that section. and the
cruiser of an enemy would have an ex-
cee6ingly warm reception should she
try to pass either Fort Schuyler or
