A CCORDING TO A REPORT pub
n Hshed in one of the eastern papers.
John Alexander Dowie. the self-styled
modern Elijah" lost faith in his own
power to heal his fatally burned
daughter and sent for a Chicago ply
stefan. For years Dowie has been
gathering about him hundreds. even
thousands. Of devoted adherents who
believed absolutely in his ability to
head all the ills that flesh is heir to by
prayer and the laying on of hands.
Dowie himself is a charlatan of no in
ferior order. but the sincerity Of his
disciples cannot be questioned.
some days ago the beautiful and
talented daughter Of the healer, while
using an alcohol lamp to heat a curling
iron. set FIRE to her clothing. Before
help could reach her she was fright
fully burned. Then the faith cure
method was tried. In his time of sore
distress Dowie prayed at the bedside
Of that suffering girl as he never
prayed before in all his life. To his
supplications were added the prayers
of all his adherents. In spite of their
efforts, however, the young woman's
condition became steadily worse and
at last one of Chicago's best known
medical men was called in.
He was too late and, indeed it is
doubtful if ne could have saved her had
he been summoned at the outset. The
fact that ne was hidden at all furnishes
the text for these remarks. II shows
that where one OF his own house. one
of his ovR blood his. best beloved
daughter. was concerned, John Alex
ander Dowie would overlook no possi-
bility Of saving her There is some
thing heroic as well as something
deeply pathetic about the story.
Dowie was willing to risk all ting rep
utation he has been trying so hard to
build up; he was ready, nay, anxious,
for the structure to tumble about his
ears if by, that means he could save his
child. As between Zionism and his
daughter there was no thought OF hest
tation in the mind of the prophet -
AS between losing the whole world and
saving his own beloved one. Dowie
woulI have counted the world well
lost. Nobody knew better than Dowie
that If the doctor healed where the
faith curists had failed. it would mean
the instant and irrevocable doom of
Dowieism.
Knowing this he took the one chance
that was open to him. He lost his
daughter, but he saved his cult, and
the victory must seem a very empty
one TO the desolate old man. Charla-
tan though he is, knave though he
may be, he is a father now. mourning
at the grave of his daughter, and as
such he is an object worthy the sym
pathy of all tender-hearted people.

Burglars.

Yesterday evening between the hours
Of $3.50 and $50, while the family was
absent from the house, thieves entered
the residence of William 81. Lee. on 4th
and Grand avenue, and took a suit Of
clothes and a revolver belonging to Hol-
lis Curtis and some jewelry belonging to
Mrs. Curtis.
The police officers we're at once noti-
fed and they commenced search for
the burglar or burglars. There was
nothing disturbed aside from the arti-
cles carried away and no clew could be
discovered which might lead to the cap
ture of the thieves.
Entrance was gained through the back
door which had been left unlocked with
chair under the door knob to keep 1t
shut. After the house had been
searched, the chair was again placed un-
der the knob, and, had not the articles
been missed, the occupants Ut the house
would not have known anyone had been
there.
So far no arrests have been made.
