CHICAGO, June al am Elijah, the
prophet, who appeared first as Elijah
himself, second as John the Baptist,
and who now comes in me, the ~restorer
of all things. Elijah was a prophet,
John was a preacher, but | combine in
myself the attributes of prophet, priest
and ruler over men. Gaze on me then,
| say it fearlessly. Make the most of
1t, you wretches in ecclesiastical garb.
| am he that is the living physical and
spiritual embodiment of Elijah, and
my coming to earth a third time has
been prophecied by Malachi, by God
himself, by his son Jesus, by Peter, and
three thousand years ago by Moses.
All who believe me to De in very truth
all of this will stand up"
And over 5000 people rose to their
feet and greeted the declaration with
cheers and h~andclapping.
John Alexander Dowie, true to his
promises made this statement from the
platform of the auditorium, tonight in
the presence of five thousand people.
1t was the elimination of a frenzied
speech in which he denounced every

LONDON, June 1.-The DAILY Tele.

the visiting delegation from the New
York Chamber of Commerce, Saturday,
says;
1T stamped the royal seal upon a
national welcome. There could have
been no more fortunate suggestion at
the outset of this remarkable visit Of the
true spirit in which American business
rivalry is regarded in Great Britain
The paper advocates as one of the
best means of meeting this friendly RI
valry that British employers and work.
men alike should visit the United States
and observe for themselves American
business methods, and it declares that
the fact of the two countries being so
indispensable to each other makes all
plans of European industrial coalition
against the United States an idle dream
so far as any British participation is
concerned"

A TEXAS TOWN

ing.

Wiped ONT by Fire Yesterday Morn
ing.
BEAUMONT, Texas, June 2.-The
little town of Jasper. county seat of
Jasper, county, was entirely wiped out
this morning by fire. Seventeen houses
including every business house in the
place, and a number of residences, We're
destroyed. In the absence of any fire
department, the town was at the mercy
of the flames.
Previous to the fire the p~ostoAice safe
had been blown and robbed. The safe
of the county treasurer also was found
to have been blown open and riied OF
its contents. The conclusion Of .he
people of Jasper is that the robbers
blew open these safes and then set fire
to the town to cover up their crime and
create an excitement which wouli af-
ford them an opportunity to escape.
The loss is estimated at 500, 900 by
fire. but it is not yet learned what The
thieves secured from the safes.

WORK FOR SCIENCE
AND HUMANITY
ENDORSED BY ROCKEFELLER, TO
BE INSTITUTED WITHIN A
FEW DAYS. {
MANY CENTRES OF THE WORK.
INCLUDING HALF A DOZEN UNIyER-
SITES IN THIS COUNTRY.
The Gift of 5000, 900 for This work
by the Oil Magnate IL Merely Pre-
~liminary. and May be Followed by
MiIlions-The Centres at Which
the Work Will be Done Specified
by the New York Herald.

NEW YORK, June The Herald
will say tomorrow:
Within a comparatively few days the
work on behalf of science and human
ity which the newly incorporated Rock
efelfer institute of medical research is
to carry on, will be started in the path
illogical laboratories of half a dozen
universities in this country and n in
Canada, and in the laboratory Of the
Health Department Of this city. Among
the centres OF the work will be the Uni
yersity Of Chicago.
Indications are that the 5000, 900
which Mr.. Rockefeller has given as the
capital of the new institute is a trifing
sum compared to what he contemplates
giving ultimately to the same cause.
The work will be done at Columbia
University, Harvard University, the
University of Chicago, the University
of Michigan, the University of Penn
~sylvania, Johns Hopkins University.
McGill University, of Montreal, and the
headquarters of the New York Health
Department. The directors of the new
Rockefeller institute will have super
vision over it, but it will be performed
by physicians whom they will employ
and who will work more or less inde-
pendently in the different places men
toned.
The heads of the various pathology
ical laboratories will have general
charge of the investigation, whether
they happen to be directors of the in
stitute or not. Periodically the direc-
tors, whose joint judgment will be the
sole regulator of the expenditure of the
$780, 900 provided, will meet to discuss
the result of the work and will jointly
give out the information which it may
have developed through the original
channels.
The work may go on for a year or
two before definite plans are made for
a permanent institution.
The investigation of the country's
milk supply will be the first important
problem of which the directors will
take hold. Their work is to be chiefly
archaeological.

APPEAL FOR JUSTICE
Made ON Behalf OF the Hebrews of
Chicago.

SHlCNHo.
CHICAGO, June AT a meeting
to-day of the Chicago Protective
League, which formerly was the Jewish
Peddlers Union, an appeal for justice
was made for the entire Jewish race,
both rich and poor.
1t was pointed out by many speakers
that while the poor and Ignorant were
assaulted on Chicago streets, the
wealthy and educated were reviled and
insulted on frequent occasions.
. 1t was declared that. regardless OF
the persecution of the Jews in Russia,
they were safer from assault and insult
in that country than they are on the
streets of Chicago. and the charge was
made that the laws of Russia are better
enforced than are the laws of the city
OF Chicago.
Severe criticism was directed towards
many individual members of the Chi
cago police force for their failure to
furnish protection to the members of
the association.

LEBANON, Pa. June Republican pri-

Quay factions each had candidates in the
field. A large vote was polled, and the
returns were not obtainable until early
this morning. Although the anti-Quay
men have generally been successful in
electing their candidates in the county
Tor several years, the Quay people sprung
Z surprise this time by e~lecting their en-
tire ticket by good majorities. This sue
cess gives the Quay men four delegates
to the State convention. a district attor-
hey and two candidates for director of
