many stayed, some living in tents even
with the thermometer at 20 below zero.
By spring there were 5000 people there.
BY summer there will be $4,000. AL
ready Dowie has paid for and thrown
open 5000 acroes of his land.
Dowie's plans have expanded with
the city. He is building big school
houses. He is planning a university.
He has a college already, but he wants
a greater school. He plans a great
capital He has followers and settle
ments all over the country, and Zion
is to be the head city. He plans to rule
from there, and his city must be
worthy of him. He hopes to see his
textile factory covering fifty acres
not expect to see all or much of Zion
given up to commerce, for it is to be
the intellectual and spiritual capital of
the Christian Catholic Church.
Incidentally, Dowie has become a po-
litical power in Lake county. In few
years he will be stronger and will loom
up in Illinois. That is because Zion
City votes as Dowie directs. 1t has a
municipality, and Dowie kindly steps
aside" and allows a mayor chosen as
his people desire. But both candidates.
or all of them, are members of his
church and of his cabinet, and his
views rule Zion through whoever may
be elected.
Nor is there a great deal for the
Mayor and his council to do, for Zion
is ruled largely by the leases on the
land which provide that no person
shall sell liquors or tobacco, pork or
oysters, or drugs, nor shall any one
living theron practice medicine, sur
gerry or dentistry. If these clauses are
violated, the land reverts to Dowie, or
after his death to trustees of the
church, to be disposed of as they see
fit.
One need not belong to Dowle's
church to lease there, and the believer
in medicine may call in a doctor from
outside. He can use drugs If he buys
them outside, and need not pay his
tithes into the church If he is not
member. If one is willing to obey the
Ten Commandments plus Dowie's addi-
tions and to live according to the sani-
tary code of the old Jewish law, he
will find Zion City a home among
kindly and industrious people, who, De-
cause they spend nothing on drink and
tobacco are unusually prosperous.
In fact, the most amiable of goats
might live happily with whole flock
of sheep. But if he is unwilling to fol-
low the leader he would be apt to feel
extremely lonesome. John Swain.

lock worked up and down over the
territory, moving gradually westward,
paying less as he went away from the
lake, till he had covered the whole
$500 acres and had covered options on
it at an average prices of 5000 an acre.
These options alone cost Mr.. Dowie
100000 in cash. They were on con-
tracts which provided that any time
within three years he might close the
bargain and take deed. They provided
for time payments. and also that the
forfeiture of any payment would turn
back the land to the original owner.
The owners retained the right to farm
their lands until final deed was given
to Dowie.
The highest price was $500 an acre
for lake shore land. That seemed a
staggerer to the Chicago people who
had ideas" about the value of north
shore land so far away. A little later
a real estate man offered Dowie $500, 900
cash if he would step aside and let
him assume the responsibility of the
bargain. But Dowie refused. The Of
fer was increased beyond $1,0OO,O00.
but he still refused. It was easily
seen that with so large and so compact
a tract, we'll situated, he had but to
run in railway sidetracks, give away
sites to manufacturers, guarantee free
dom from taxation, and found a boom
town of the largest SIZE.
When he had paid for the first 1000
acres, he called the faithful to Zion
and began his big land sale. Special
trains carried thousands to the city.
where an odd mixture of religion and
business was shown in his plan to
lease" for LOO years, at prices which
would return a profit of $4,000, 900 on
the deal.
Chicago expected a colossal failure
then, and there were numerous proph-
ecies that Dowie had at last passed
the zenith and was descending toward
a grand sunset" But this has failed
to happen thus far. The faithful obey
ed their leaders voice and f1ocked in.
The city was opened in July of last
year. BY autumn there were hundreds
of houses up The lace works were
running and new buildings were going
up for them. Men, women and chill
dren came in every conceivable way.
L remember seeing in a hollow near
creek, in the back part of Zion City,
an encampment of Kansas people who
had come all the way in prairie
schooners-just as their fathers had
gone to Kansas-and were awaiting
their chance to build. People
lived in tents. in shanties, in
wagons-any way at all, till
houses could be built. Cold weather
drove many to shelter elsewhere, but

industry in this country. An English
lace maker was trying to sell his plant
and come over to join Dowie. Dowie
bought the plant, organized an asso-
citation with a capital of 81, 900 900 to
run it-collecting $4,000 cash from his
followers on his personal security be-
fore he bought a foot of land or laid
brick for the factory, and guarantee
ing from to IL per cent. dividends
on the stock. He went outside of
lace-making in his plans and prospec-
tus. He planned-and still plans-a
great textile industry, where cotton
shall be spun and woven into cloth,
where wooden goods shall be made
and where lace shall be manufactured
all of the best materials, at good
prices, and all to the upbuilding of
the Christian Catholic Church."
Dowie had not yet a foot of the land,
nor had he then found a man capable
of buying it. Had he asked real estate
men, they would have told him it
would be impossible to buy a tract as
large as he wanted-6,500 acres-so
near Chicago, without paying fabulous
prices for it, even if he could persuade
the holders to sell it at all. Failure
to buy any single acre of it would be
fatal, for he had planned a city in
which there should be no liquor or to-
bacco, and in which these should be
forbidden in the deeds and leases. If
a single acre of land was owned by
an outsider, the owner could set UP a
saloon or do as he pleased in the midst
of the godly community and corrupt
the inhabitants.
DOwie's Great Scheme.
When things go right with Dowie, he
assures himself and his followers that
it is the Lords doings. When they go
wrong, the devil has triumphed. In
this case the Lord came to the rescue
and sent a real estate man named
Wheelock to Zion with a proposition
to sell another tract of land to them.
Dowie and Sloan sized him up as a
pretty safe man to work with, and so
they made contract with him to go
and buy the land they wanted on a
sliding commission. The cheaper he
got it, the more he made.
Here is $25,000," said Sloan. de
post this in the bank at Waukegan in
your name, hire a buggy or buy one
and go to work. Get the land. Get three
year options on every acre of it. Make
the best terms you can. Provide for
cash payments where you have to,
get mortgage arrangements where you
can. Get all the time you can. Let no
whisper get out that you are acting
for Dowie."
Following these instructions, Vince

Porcelain Trade Marks.
From the London Truth.

NV uninstructed opinion that in the
matter of pottery and porcelain marks
a little knowledge may easily be
dangerous thing to the amateur is
confirmed by Mr.. Frederick Litchfield
in a letter that I have had from him
since [ hazarded the remark, and also
in a paper read by him year or two
ago before the Auctioneers' Institute.
1.-THE mark" he says, lis by far the
easiest part of the forgery to produce;
therefore we should first of all be sat-
isfled that the specimen has the quail
tiles or character of its kind, and then
if it bears the mark as confirmatory
evidence, so much the better" Until
recent years there was no proprietary
right in a trade mark and, consequent
ly, AS / said the other day, the forger
Of pottery and porcelain marks has
had a comparatively free hand. The
few great factories of the eighteenth
century which still survive. such as
Worcester and Dresden, may be able
to suppress traffic in forgeries of their
ware. but it is nobody's business to
check piracy of those "old masters"
who have no successors left in the
business. 1t is a case of caveat emtor,
therefore. The collector of ancient
masterpieces must protect himself. He
had therefore better note carefully
what Mr.. Litchfield says about factory
marks.

Forty-two miles north of Chicago,
and an equal distance south of Milwau-
kee, near the line of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway, stands a gi-
santic signboard bearing the legend,
"zion City, $500 Acres" Below the
lettering there is a birds-eye view of
stands a magnificent marble temple
the finest the painter could imagine.
About it is a great park, and from
this radiate broad boulevards, reaching
10 other parks, and crossing at inter
walls the straight north and south
streets and avenues of the city. Lake
Michigan is shown in the foreground;
on the land lying between the railroad
and the lake are great factories-all
smokeless-and an enormous central
power house, also smokeless.
A year ago this sign stood in the
midst of a vacant tract of land, with
no house in sight save occasional farm
dwellings, strung along the Green Bay
road, quarter of mile to the west
ward. To-day nearly four thousand
people live within a mile of the road
some of them in $4,000 dwellings. Be
tween the railroad and the lake-where
then was bleak stretch of sand dune
and wooded peat bog-stands a struc-
ture covering three acres of land, the
power house of the picture, and other
buildings. Along the track are great
freight sheds, lumber yards and other
indications of business and prosperity.
Houses are being rushed up on every
side and the sounds of hammer and
saw are everywhere. A station stands
beside the railway, and a dozen trains
a day stop there. The way-freight
spends from half an hour to an hour
switching on the long sidjngs. A year
ago Zion City was a mans dream
which he had communicated to a great
number of people who believed in him.
To-day Zion City is a fact, and the
dreamer, John A. Dowie, is it's ruler
IN all matters both spiritual and tenn
poral.
Not since the march of the Nor
mons across the plains has this coun-
try seen so phenomenal a movement as
this of a religious body out of the cities
and out of other sects into commu-
nifty of its own.
The Rev. John Alex. Dowie appeared
in Chicago ten or twelve years ago,
unknown to Americans, though rather
noted in Australia. He stepped quick
ly into prominence as a leader of faith
healers, having in fact came as a mis-
sionary for the international Society
of Divine Healing" of which he after
wards became president. Opening his
meetings in a tent, he soon drew
crowds, made himself notorious and
proceeded to found the Christian
Catholic Church in Zion" an organiza-
ton which now has 1901 members,
probably, recognizes him as its head,
and contributes to him, for it's main

the true solution of which died with
the author. Many were the attempts
which were made to get Mr.. Stockton
to tell how he would solve the riddle.
At dinners, of the souvenirs or ices
were made up in the forms of ladies
and tigers, he invariably took one of
each. Nothing could persuade him to
give any explanation of his story; he
preferred to keep every one guessing
which everyone certainly did. There

Wing" have been secured by Mr.. Dan
iel Frohman, and the play will proba-
bly, be seen on the boards next season.
Somehow or other the general read
ing public has conceived the idea that
Mr.. Chattield- Taylor is more of a glass
of fashion than he is an author The
gentleman himself says that his one
object in life now is to live down the
general impression that he is a "dude"
rather than to write the great Ameri-
can novel. 1t seems that Mr.. Chatfield-
TAYLOR was unfortunate enough to be
well born and to have had an excellent
education, both in this country and
abroad. During his youth he Travelled
extensively in Europe, and it happened
that when Princess Eulalie visited Chi
cago at the time of the Worlds Fair
there were few natives of that pro-
gressive city who knew just how she
should be treated. Mr.. Chatfield-Tay-
lor was one of the few, and the COM
mittee of arrangements persuaded him
to take charge of her reception and
entertainment. AS a boy, Mr.. Chat
field-Taylor was plain Hobart Chatfield
Taylor, but an uncle, Mr.. Chatfield,
with whom the young man was a favo-
rite, made a sort of death-bed request
of him that he perpetuate his name.
The young man promised to carry out
his bachelor uncle's desire, but when
he requested the courts to use his mid
die name, Chatfield, in the hyphenated
surname, it was decided that this could
not be done, and the only solution of
the problem was to insert another
Chatfield in the name. He then be-
came Hobart Chatfield Chatfield- Tay-
lor and, when he was called upon to
take care of the visiting Spanish Prin-
cess, the newspapers all over the coun-
try thought that the bearer of such
a name must be a cad, and he was sub
iected to all sorts of newspaper ridi-
Guile. His intimate friends say that
he is a prince of good fellows. just
the opposite to what the general pub
lie thinks he is. At any rate, he writes
acceptable stories, and it is to be hoped
that he may continue his good record
in this regard: as well as prove HIM
self a decent sort of man.
A book which is seasonable just now

THE LITERARY OUTLOOK.

Question of Copyright-HObar
ChatfieId-TayIOr's Aim in Life-At-
tempts to Solve StocktOn's Riddle.
An interesting case in copyright is
now up before the Court of Appeals. A
Boston publisher is suing New York
publisher for infringement of copyright
on Harriet Beecher Stoves 1.-The Min
ister's Wooing," and oliver Wendell
Holmes THE Professor at the Break
fast Table" 1t seems that twenty
nine out of forty-two chapters of 1.-THE
Minister'S Wooing' were published SER
Tally in the year 1859, when the whole
book was published and copyrighted
oy the author as a whole. Then the re-
naming thirteen chapters were issued
serially without anything more than
the publishers general copyright. The
circuit Court held that the publication
CT the first twenty-nine chapters of the
story without any copyright abandoned
them to the public, and that, as the
remaining chapters were published
without proper notice of copyright, suf-
noient notice was not given of a copy
rtght by Mrs. Stowe. The case of THE
PROFESSOR at the Breakfast Table" was
similar. Ten of the twelve parts of the
DOCK were published serially without
SSHy notice of copyright. When the
DOCK appeared it was copyrighted by
me author. The Circuit Court of APP
neals held that a literary work pub
IShed serially with the consent of the
aulhor and copyrighted in the name of
tie publishers, gives rise to such con-
oltlons that the author cannot subse-
puehtly secure the copyright. If the
%ulnor subsequently publishes the
LooK' together with copyright notice
lh MS own name, instead of that of his
publishers under which the original
Sopyrlght was taken out, such repub-
.cdtlo1 with such notice constitutes,
asccordlng to the court, an abandon
lent OF the copyright.
Ierhaps in years to come it will be
hosslole for some one to master the
