dignitary, the spiritual head of a reli-
gious organization.
Overseer Dowie has placed his order
for the fittings Of his residence with
one of the big wholesale furniture
houses in Chicago. He selected none
but the richest and most expensive ar
tic1es, ordering in one case table
costing 81, 400, which will be the coun-
terpart of one owned by King Edward
VII. In making his selections Over
seer Dowie showed that he had made a
careful study of interior furnishings
and decorations during his recent trip
abroad.
"The Pope of Rome has palace and
magnificent furniture" he is quoted
as saying, "because he is the head of
great church. I am the head Of a
church, too, so why should not have
the same kind of things"
The furniture firm with which Over
seer Dowie has placed his order has
been given ample time in which to
carry out its contract. This house is
considered fortunate by rival firms in
securing the largest single order of the
kind in many years.
cdr" Dowie's official residence in
Zion City will not be completed for a
year, it is said, the plans being on a
scale calculated to astonish the public
when they are revealed.

It is our sad duty to announce the
death of Mr.. Leroy Vincent, which
occurred at 9 O'Clock on Tuesday morn
ing at the home of his brother,a Mr..
Orvil1e Vincent, on the Ruddock ranch
after long and lingering illness.
His demise was due to consumption,
against the inroads of which dread dis
ease the deceased had made brave
and patient fight for number OF
years, The end came suddenly, with
out painyor suffering.
He was a native of Wisconsin, and
was born June Is, 1861. He leaves
one daughter, Grace, girl of seven
teen years, to mourn his loss, his wife
having preceded him to the Spirit
World after three years of happy we'd
ded life. He came to Covina about
nine years ago and for time prac-
ticed his profession as barber. His
health, however, prohibited him con-
tinuing in this business and he took a
trip to Arizona and for a time ap-
peared COB siderably benefited by the
change. Upon his return he entered
the employ OF NIL OAdS' NuuuoCh dI
Mountain View and continued there
until his death, respected alike by en-
ployer and co-workers.

A MERRY WAR.

The war against mosquitoes Is assum-
ing an almost ludicrous degree OF gravity,
yet science has proved that mischiefs are
serious in inverse ratio to their bulk and
that it is better to be punctured in some
places by a cIean-cutting Mauser or
Krag-Jorgensen bullet than to absorb an
unseen but active bacillus. The bullet
ends its work at once. and if it has not
likewise ended the man. he Is amenable
to surgery: but the bacillus breeds after
her kind. and fills the victims blood and
bones and glands and organs, and so de-
ranges his economy that after sundry
months of ache and fever and complaint
and the worriment of his family and per-
picking of his physicians. he gives I'D and
allows the bacillus to have her way. Then
the bells ring and the choir chants and
the Eeadstpne is put up. And a dreadful
deal of this miSdoing they now charge
to the mosquito-the anopheles not the
culex. If you would know an anopheIes

and almost anywhere else, she will hold

COul and OIL.

There has been much discussion of
late bearing upon the relative efficiency
of coal and mineral oil as fuel, and, as
given to the public, The weight of opin-
ion seems to favor oil. 1t is stated very
positively that in proportion to cost,
oil will produce considerably more heat
than coal, which is, of course, very
important point Oil also has the ad-
vantage in its smaller bulk and weight,
an item of significance in certain cases.
If given quantity of oil will produce
more heat than the same quantity of
coal, and do it more cheaply, it would
seem to follow naturally that greater
absolute amount OF heat can be gener-
ated with oil than with coal, provided
the oil can be So handled practically
that its power can be fully utilized.
There seems to be no reason to doubt
that proper appliances can be devised
for the most effectual use of the oil,
and it now looks as if its use as fuel
is certain to be largely increased in the
near future
In connection with the recent sugges-
ton of the possibility of steamers that
can cross the Atlantic in four days,
and even in three, it has been claimed
that the use of oil as fuel will be a
most efficient aid in increasing the
speed of the vessels, the oil being both
lighter and of greater heat producing
power than the coal There may be a
good deal in this, and probably there
ott in, Ttthia tta oil
can be advantageously used. But all
this may take place without anything
like a complete, or even material sup
planting of coal.
In the first place. no one can tell how
much oil can be obtained or how long
it will last. 1t is much easier (at least,
it has thus far proved so) to ascertain
the approximate extent Of the coal
measures. than it has been satisfacto-
rily to determine the quantity of oil
in the known Oil fields. Some of the
most copious gushers may give out en-
tirely. or greatly reduce their flow.
Then it must be remembered that the
use of fuel is increasing at an extra
ordinary rate, and will continue to do
so, with the rapid advance of industry.
1t is not in the least improbable that
twenty-five. or. at the latest, fifty years
hence, the consumption of fuel will be
double what it is now, so that If we
could count on a full supply of oil for
all present fuel requirements. which. of
course. we cannot. there would still
have to be 4 tremendous increase to
keep pace with the ever-growing re-

A NATIONAL SCANDAL.

After many delays suit has been begun
in New York to secure restitution of the
funds embeZzied by former Capt. o. NJ.
Carter, United States Army. The amount
involved is large, and. no doubt. the
present possessors of the iIl-gotten wealth
will resist the claim OF the Government
by every means known in legal procedure.
This Carter case has been one of the
most notorious scandals in the military
administration of the country. 1t has
attained additional interest from the
brazen attitude OF the chief offender,
Captain Carter now undergoing imprison-
ment in the United States penitentiary
at Leavenworth. Kan. That he should
fight hard for liberty was natural, but
since his conviction he has appealed for
release in the most impudent manner,
provoking from the United States Solici-
tor General as spicy reply as was ever
filed at Washington. Ii is to be hoped,
under the circumstances. the Government
may recover every penny that was stolen
and make an example OF, all the offenders
that may discourage such practices in
future-Pittsburg DISPATCH

Circulation Statement.
The Steel Strike.


Instead of being improved, the pros
poets for an early and peaceable settle
ment of the steel strike yesterday ap-
peared more gloomy than ever. Al
though there was then no official con-
firmation of the fact, IL was generally
believed in Pittsburg that the Execu-
tive Board OF the Amalgamated Asso-
citation had fatty refused to ratify the
tentative peace agreement made be-
tween Mr. ]. r Morgan and President
Shaffer in New York last Saturday.
Matters at the close of the day were in
a condition of deadlock. and <Graye
fears were entertained that bitter
labor war could not be averted.
The situation is rendered more Sc
ricus by the alleged decision of the
American Federation of Labor to take
hand in the struggle, and TO order out
all of its members in the employ of
the Steel Trust in case the strike shall
not be settled and called of. before the
end of the present week. That would
mean new and grave complications, and
perhaps finally might result in sym
pathetic strikes of workers in trust
plants generally.
Senator Hanna is said to be work
ing hard in an effort to bring about
an accommodations; but, as far as is
known. the views of the opposing in
terests are so far apart that there does
not seem TO be much encouragement
to expect that the atteueted mediation
will be fruitful of good results. 1t is
unnecessary TO say that the Admins
tration is in a state of great pertlrba-
ton over the current condition of af-
fairs. A bitter and violent war between
the Steel Trust and its men, which
easily might spread and involve other
trusts and industries, would be stag
gering blow to the business interests
and the prosperity of the country.
Moreover, one of its first results might
be to turn the trust party out of office
in Ohio where the labor unions are
strong, well organized, and might hold
the balance of power in the approach
ing State elections. In the event Of
open violence, the Republican govern
merit of Ohio would be bound to stand
by its trust bosses. That would be
equally true of Pennsylvania, and the
national organization very likely might
suffer again as it did in the Presiden-
tial election following the Homestead
strike and tragedy.
So there is every reason why Mr..
Hanna and his Administration associ-
ates should move heaven and earth to
restore normal industrial conditions.
Should they and others fail, their posi-
ton will be a dangerous one politically
The trusts will compel the national and
State governments, which they con-
troll, to stand by the Morgan combina-
don. and protect it while it resumes
production with non-union labor. That
would array the labor element against
the Republican party, and might prove
the cause of its undoing. Some time
today possibly through our late de-
spatches this morning-light may be
thrown on the matter that has not been
given US hitherto. The whole country
is waiting anxiously for the definite out
come OF the Pittsburg conference.

DECAYING FRANCE.

Navigation in the air and navigation
under water are the two most interesting
problems in transportation. 1t is strange
that the only nation which is making
progress in these directions is France.
'decaying'' France. ''retrograde" France.
For the moment the news of Frances
Intelligent and splendid activities has si-
Ienced those who are so fond of telling
how melancholy is her plight And it
may be possible to get G hearing for the
truth.
France is the only great nation in Eu-
rope that has had the strength of mind
and of purpose to establish republican
form of government. IL is the only ma
ton on earth which has made success
full attempts to solve the problem of the
unequal distribution of wealth. based up
on the unequal distribution Of land. Its
percentage OF pauperism is the lowest In
Europe. its percentage OF individual effi-
cheney in production is the highest among
the great nations. II has solved the prob
lem of the keeping of population within
the means of subsistence. IL is so happy
as IA home that it's people do not emigrate.
Difference of language, the lies OF
frances enemies, and the books of dis
eased French writer's ought not to pre-
vent us from recognizing the truth about

deal of foreign capital invested in
American business enterprises. 1t is
not to be supposed. though. that Eu-
rope ever sent over here thousands of
millions of dollars in money. Such in
vestments have, in fact. been compare
lively small. But beginning away back
thirty or forty years ago, they have
grown steadily by the reinvestment of
profits. This is conclusively shown by
the circumstance that between 1859
and 1892 we exported thousands of mil
lion; of dollars more merchandise than
we imported, and at the same time.
sent away hundreds of millions more
in specie than we received. 1t follows,
therefore, that this portion of the for
eign demand against us may never be
lifted, or even materially diminished
We may buy back stocks and bonds and
pay off obligations that are in the form
of actual debts but there is no way of
obliging foreigners to withdraw their
investments in mines, mills, and other
business enterprises.
The most we can do on this score Is
to find foreign investments for our own
capital that cannot be profitably in
vested here. All such investments VIII
stand as offsets to the foreign capital
placed in this country, so that If the
time should ever come when our invest
ments abroad equaled foreign invest
ments here, the account would be bal
anced, and we could consider ourselves
cut of debt, so far as these demands
are concerned. Already we have done
something on this line. AS is well
known, considerable portions of the re-
cent British, German, and Swedish
loans were placed in the United States.
Il present conditions continue, there
is no doubt that our loans to Europe
will steadily increase, for New York
is even now one of the worlds greatest
money centres, if not actually the
greatest Certain ii is that at this time
New York can spare more gold with
less strain or danger than can London,
Paris, or Berlin.
But we cannot expect any great
movements of specie either way. That
win be prevented by the economic laws
which govern the distribution of money.
We cannot take much specie from Eu-
rope without creating conditions there.
that will at once check the outflow, and
Europe cannot take very much from
us without giving rise to similar con-
ditions here.
Prof. Bullock. of Williams Coll
Iege, in an article published in the
North American Review" estimates
that we now have eight hundred mil
lion dollars to our credit in Europe, un-
settled. The correctness of this esti-
mate may well be doubted. But, how
ever 1t may be, it is a moral and finan-
cial certainty that we shall never get
eight hundred million dollars in cash
out OF Europe's present stock of money.
Such a draft, even if spread over the
next five years, would virtually par
alyze European industry and probably
wipe out our trade balance entirely, for
Europe would be unable to buy our
goods
