Especial Chicago letter.

T>HE religious confidence game is
money-maker par excellence.
From time immemorial there
have arisen so-called prophets and sons
of prophets. Every nation and every
sect have paid tribute or given follow
ers to one or more impostors who
posed as God-sent apostles and
preached recognition and social re-
form by simply
stamping Gods name upon lie just
made,
To turn a penny in the way of trade"
The religious confidence man is a
cosmopolitan sort of chap; and that
is why the United States, with its
mixed and somewhat nomadic popula-
tion, has been his favorite field of
operation. And of the cities in the
United States, Chicago has been his
Mecca.
The oily Schweinfurth established
his headquarters in the modern Baby
Ion at the foot of Lake Michigan, after
he had been driven out of Michigan,
where he began operations, and his
somewhat less notorious imitator,
Teec, likewise selected Chicago as his
headquarters. Both of these oleagin-
Gus individuals found hundreds of dis
ciples; especially Schweinfurth, who
proclaimed himself as the Messiah.
Hysterical women flocked to hear him,
and transferred everything they had in
the world TO the community" of which
he was the head-the whole thing, in
| fact. He might have ended his days as
a very rich man had not his baser ma
ture triumphed over his by no means
| inferior intellectual and business at
| tainments. But in an hour, evil to
himself and beneficial to his dupes,
he established community house near
| Rockford. H.. which he called

The Cuban Constitutional Convention
Adopts the PIaIt Amendment with
out Any Strings Tied to IL.

Havana, June 13.-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention yesterday ac-
.cepted the Platt amendment by vote
of rs to II. The rsolution to accept
was carried without discussion. I'm
mediately after the opening of the
session Senors Tamayo, Nilluondas
and Quesada. constituting a majority
of the committee on relations, sub
mitted as a substitute for the com
mittee's former report the Platt
amendment as passed by congress,
recommending that it be accepted
and made an appendix to the conSti-
tuition.
Senors Rivera, Correso, Gener and
Bebau were absent. The latter vot-
ed against acceptance in the previous
division. Senor Ferrer voted with
the conservatives, explaining his
change of attitude by asserting that
he believed acceptance would be the
best solution of the problem.
The convention will now appoint a
committee to draw up the electoral
law.
Washington, June 13.-The news of
the adoption of the Platt amendment
by the Cuban constitutional conven-
tion was received with genuine graft
tication here. The administration
officials all along nave felt confident
that its ratfica ton would DE accom-
plished when the Cubans realized
that this government was firm in its
attitude regarding the amendment.
Now that the Cubans have demon
.strated their good faith in the United
States, it is expected that a fairly
speedy evacuation of the island will
follow. contingent only upon the es-
tablishment of a stable government

people of Rockford forced him to leave
their town, and in the course Of time
Schwcinfurth disappeared altogether
from public view. 1t has been stated
that he has turned over a new leaf and
is leaGing an exemplary life. For the
truth 2f this rumor the writer cannot
vouch, although it comes from fair
ly reliab source.
Before the Schweinfurth excitement
had ST bsided there appeared in Chi
cago smother prophet, whose name has
since become familiar to the newspa-
per readers the world over-J Ohm Alex
ander Dowie. He came from Australia,
spoke with an oily tongue, called him
self a doctor of divinity and the found
er of new faith cure system of heal
ing all diseases. His assumed humil-
itv secured immediate recognition.
Several churches opened their doors to
him, and his first proselytes were made
in houses of worship whose people he
has since denounced as children of
the devil" He made some remarkable
"cures" and preached a series of pow
erful sermons. Within a short time the
pauper immigrant from the Antipodes
had accumulated enough capital to
buy a handsome pair of horses and a
carriage and to equip large taber-
nacle, printing house and sanitarium in
Woodlawn, the worlds fair district of
Chicago. These outward manifesto
tions of prosperity were followed by
the founding of the Christian Catholic
Church of Zion. of which he made him
self general overseer." His hospital"
soon degenerated into a public nui-
sance; and the property owners of
Woodlawn, under the leadership of
George w. Riggs, instituted a series of
legal proceedings which terminated in
victory for law and order, as far as
the location of the sanitarium was con-
cerned, but also resulted in advantage
to Dowie, who posed as IA martyr be-
fore his dupes, and induced them to
buy a valuable piece of property at the
corner of Twelfth street and Michigan
boulevard, then known as the Imperial |
hotel. He renamed it Zion" refur-
nished it Throughout and advertised it
far and wide as the headquarters of
the new religion. Subsequently ad-
ditional real estate purchases were
made and new buildings erected, and a

The Christian Catholic church claims
membership of 10000; and as each
commitment is supposed to contribute
lions share of his or her income to
the overseer in the form of tithes, it is
not surprising that Dowie can live in
the lap of luxury. The humble exile
OF ten years ago assumes all the dig
nifty of an Indian nabob and for
stranger to approach him is about as
difficult as to secure an audience with
the pope. He still breaches, but evil
IDENTIFY only for the purpose of abusing
those who do not agree with him.
Many of his remarks are positively
libidinous, others would do credit to
Hamburg fishwife. In word and ac-
ton he is puffed up by arrogance, and
although So far nothing has been said
against his personal life his actions
would indicate that he is the slave of
some drug or else on the verge of in
sanity.
Looking at the man from a purely
commercial point of view it cannot be
denied that as an organizer and tinan-
cier he has few superiors. Starting
with nothing, he accumulated $4,000
900 worth of property in less than
decade, founded a bank conducted for
his personal benefit, and laid the foun-
dation of what may become pros
porous and important manufacturing
town. In spite of opposition from
press and pulpit he is holding together
thousands of men and women who
would prefer death to the loss of their
faith. That such devotion should turn
the head of any man is not unnatural;
nor is it surprising that Dowie consid-
ers himself a second Elijah and the OBJ
iect of many of the prophecies of the
Old and New Testament. As the head
of the most perfect religious oligar-
chy of our day he occupies a position
without parallel in the history of this
or any other country.
Much of his success is due to hyp-
motto power, which he possesses in a
/ remarkable degree. y vast percentage
| of the so-called 'cures" performed in
/ the early days of the movement were
! due to this force, and to it he owes his
/ fame as n healer. His unprecedented

nerve and the gift of selecting compe-
tent assistants. 1t is said that in en-
ploying heads for the various depart-
ments OF on he has not made single
mistake, ich, if true, stamps him rs
a wise judge of human nature. The
men intrusted with the management
of the vast machinery of the Zion or
ganization are paid liberal salaries
more than they could earn elsewhere
and thus self-interest is made an
ally of religious prejudice.
Attempts to bring the Zion bank un-
der state supervision have been foiled
by the clever managers of the institu-
ton, as well as honest endeavors to
secure a statement of its resources and
deposits.
The numberless slaughter of inno-
cents-men, women and children, who
die by the score, and might have been
saved by rational medical treatment
has attracted considerable attention,
but thus far the law has not been able
to protect the victims of Zion fanati-
cism. Very recently the wife of one
of the church's most prominent Off
GERS, III. Worthington Judd, died un-
der the most distressing circum-
stances, after Dowie had prayed" for
her recovery. Physicians of all
. schools are unanimous in asserting
that the woman's life could have been
saved. At the coroner's inquest, her
husband volunteered the information
that his wife had not asked for med
zeal aid, and if she had he would not
have consented to her receiving it. Such
is the bigotry of the followers of
Dowie. This same Judd, by the way,
is the man who assisted Dowie in Civ
ing an alleged expose of Free Masonry
several months ago. He had been u
Mason for many years, but Dowie con-
vinced him that all Masons are devils"
and children of the devil" hence he
considered the act of violating his OBJ
legations as one of merit and entitled
to Divine reward.
Such is, in brief, the character of
Dowie and the work he is doing. How
much longer his reign may last it ia
hard to say; but that it will end igno-
miniously may be taken for granted,
because no system of religion based
on personal aggrandizement and the
storing up of wealth for wealth's sake
has ever endured.
