tirely given up the use of medicine
to rely solely on the healing power Of
Christ, rise in the audience and bear
testimony to marvellous cures of con-
sumption, cancer and other serious dis
eases which were wrought solely
through the efficacy of prayer after
physicians had abandoned all hope.
The Zionists eschew all swine's flesh,
and the use of whisky and tobacco is
absolutely prohibited, and the use of
medicines of all kinds is considered
blasphemous.
The Zionists were founded less than
four years ago by Rev. John Alexand
der Dowie, who was formerly Con-
gregationalist preacher, and was once
minister Of education in Australia.
Their headquarters are at Chicago. In
their brief existence the Zionists have
grown to membership of over $4,000.
They have a bank, college, land as

tons. The members contribute one
tenth of their income to the church.

Chicago bankers are greatly incensei
at this feature of the new religion, as
it takes deposits away from them.
All of these are under the absolute
control of Rev. DR.. Dowie, who is called
the general overseer, land whose powers
extend even to the naming of his sue
cessor.
Dowie poses as a prophet. At Zion
Tabernacle, Chicago, recently, the
faith healer predicted that in % years
the world would be ready for the com
ing of the Lord" ''The telephone,
telegraph and other wonderful things"
he said, will make it so easy to spread
the Gospel of Zion that in a quarter of
a century the world will be prepared
for the great day." He lately began a
two weeks war on the "unclean, un-
godly and criminal press" of Chicago.
He explained that he would attack the
greater part of the denominatiohal
press as we'll as the secular.

Is then hidden in the baby's clothes.

Weekly REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business slen Have Been Occupied
with Settlements.
END OF THE YEAR FAILURES.
East Days OF 1899 Add to the Number
Hitherto Observation-Disclosures Revision
of Prices Looked Eor-Whcat Is Nov
ing Sluggishiy.

New York, Jan. 8.-E. c.. Dun e
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Failures in 1899 were 1898 in num-
Der, with liabilities of 1923, 132,67 The
last days of the year added few to
the number and some millions to the
known liabilities of firms and banks
which failed close to the end, so that
commercial defaults reached $90,S79,-
SS9, of which $3O,792, 164 was in manu-
featuring, $4S.924,771 in trading and
s11 ,162,954 in brokerage, promoting
and other commercial liabilities.
Most people in business have been
so occupied with the accounts and the
settlements of the last year that little
aew business has yet been done. No
new tendency in manufacture or in
trading appears, and less change than
was anticipated in money markets.
There is nothing unsound in the bust
ness of the great industries, but an ex-
tensive revision of prices may disap-
point extreme expectations.
Wheat still moves very sluggishly
with small change in prices. In six
months of the crop year about $4,000
0G0 bushels, flour included, have been
exported, against 123,000,000 last year.
Atlantic exports have now fallen to
only 2,06O,926 bushels for the week,
against 5,214,42 last year. and Pacific
Exports were ,225 bushels, against
614,S33 last year. The price is prac
tically unchanged, as also for corn, OF
which 3,923,195 bushels have been ex-
ported for the week, against 3,572, 4l2
last year.
Failures for the week have been
273 in the United States, against 243
last year, and 20 in Canada, against "a
last year."
Bradstreet's says:
Perhaps the most notable movement
among leading staples is that devel-
oped in hogs and hog products, a bet
ter realization apparently being had OF
the features making for strength in
those products, notably among which
being the reduction in the supply OF
hogs. That the advance in hog prod
ucts is beginning to attract more at
tention seems evident from the extent
to which this advance has had sym
pathetic reflection in the prices OF
wheat and other cereals"

I'VE find from the evidence that the

that the fire boss of said mine was
negligent in failing to make a daily

to be incompetent to perform their re-

Portugal, on learning of the seizure of

Immediately directed a note to all the

Without betraying the wording Of
the notes, Minister Pindella left no
doubt that Portugal energetically pro-

Of international law.
A Zurich telegram states that the
arbitrator Of the English-Portuguese

deavoring to prolong the case for
