of all the actors who had come in direct
contact with him. Yet, much as they
wondered, none dared approach Ashley a
second time on the subject of his family
history. , H.. 80
- What Ashley declined to make public
was the fact that once on a time his name
Ashton in those days-had been signed
to canvases, on the salon walls Of Lon
don and Paris. That was before he met
Mabel Stanton. At %, when fame was
just extending to him a gracious, well
coming hand, the pretty American girl
had come into his life. Her father had
ordered her portrait, and Ashton had
found it more than mere commission
"a labor OF love. When it., was COM
pleted he called upon her father and made
a. formal demand for her hand.
The retired merchant, self-made man,
held in contempt those who did not gain
a livelihood by the sweat of their brow,
and most of all he jeered at artists as
polite grafters supported by a blinded
social following. He made no distinction
between the rising young painter Of por-
traits and the man who drew garsh ad-
vertfsements on the fences along the rail-
road tracks. 1'--sf-j3. 49,, =. e. - l.
Rather than have his daughter welded
to a. leafing Bohemian, as he dubbed Ash
ton. he whisked Mabel back to America,
though, to do him Justice, he paid Ash
ton handsomely for the portrait Part
OF this money the artist promptly turned
into steamship ticket and followed the
woman of his heart, recklessly turning
his back on fame. He reached America
only to learn that his ladylove had been
taken for two-years' tour around the
world.
The fame he had begun to make in
London awaited him little in busy, busting
New York, and he drifted into doing pot
boilers for an art dealer who recognized
the young fellows talent, but preferred
getting saleable stuff at cost rather than
to advance the interest Of budding genius.
Finally there came day when heartache
and ill-prepared food did their work. Ash
ton was lifted into an ambulance and
hurried, to the city hospital.
| Brain fever was the verdict.
He came back to life and yet the hand
Of death seemed still to hover above him.

HIS BUSINESS METHODS.

". l know that Mr.. Dowie s
methods of doing business are
not such as are followed by rep
utable business men.
Specification 1. Mr.. Dowie
made the offer publicly from the
platform ofhis church as follows:
If there is a single investor in
Zion Land and Investment AS
ISOLATION who is disconnected
with his investment, will bug in
his stock at par value, with six
per cent interest added" Il
leave that offer open for a week.
" I want them to tele-
graph that DR.. Dowie said upon
the platform of Zion Tabernacle
that he would buy over the coun-
ter of Zion City Bank every share
of stock, and pay one hundred
cents on the dollar for it with six
per cent interest" He after
wards published this statement

in Leaves of Healing of Novem-
Der 4th, Volume 6, Mum Der 2,
page 40.
Within a week from the time
of its appearance, Mr.. r. P. Up
ton, who was dissatisfied with his
investment, which he had made
in his wife's name, called at the
bank to sell her stock, and they
refused to bu5~it. They did Of
fer to loan him IS per cent on d
dollar for it. This he was I'M
willing to take. Later he offered
it to them for 95 per cent, with
out interest, as that was the best
that he could get, and they
bought it at that price, thus dis
counting their own paper 5 per
cent, and payingno interest. Yet
in the issue of November 18th,
1899, Mr.. Dowie had the audacity
to say, And now we desire to
make this statement solemnly as
! being the truth in the sight Of
God, namely: that with the soli-
tary exception of this dissatisfied
Elder (Mr. Fair and his broth

Der of the Christian Catholic
Church in Zion; but that on the
contrary, additions have been
made to these investments and
both institutions are becoming
strongeran stronger financially,
day by day, in the confidence OF
the people," Mr.. Dowie may try
to crawl out by saying that Mr..
Upton was not "a member of the
Christian Cath Ole church in
Zion, but the offer was not made
merely to the members of the
church, and this clause is evident
1y inserted simply not to be no
ticed by the readers but to give
Mr.. Dowie a chance to crawl out.
These are some of the facts
l know about Mr.. Dowie' and his
movement. AS to what l think,
any intelligent man can do his
thinking for himself with these
facts before him.

ment that is intended to pro-
duce the impression that one
of my daughters was healed of
sickness in answer to his pray
ers and those of his elders. This
IS entirely untrue. Neither Mr..
DoWle nor his elders knew of the
sickness of my daughter until
she was up and around. A good
many details are given in Mr..
Dowle's statement, of which
never even heard until they APP
peared in his paper, For exam
pie, about telephoning over Sun

getting a reply that she was very

do not live at the Institute, and it
difficult to see how anybody at
the institute could have te1ephon-
ed any such reply to him, as he
saps they did, for it was well
known to all in the Institute Fri
day that God had heard prayer
and that my daughter was up as
| usual. AS for Mr.. Dowie him
self, by his own statement he was
out of the city until Saturday.
HE BEARS FALSE WITNESS.
II. Il know that Mr.. Dowie
and the Leaves of Healing make
false and s1anderous statements
about Gods servants.
Specification /. In Leaves of
Healing, page 1914, issue of Jan
uary 20, 1900, Mr.. Dowie asserts
that Mr.. Moody was drunk when
he died, and those beautiful and
pleasantvisions that he had were
the dreams of a drunken man,
drunk with morphine. I wrote
to Mortified to get the exact
facts in the case and find that
Mr.. Moody had taken no NOR
ohine whatever at the time refer
red to, that he saw those "beau-
/
t1tul and pleasant visions' of
Heaven opening, ETC., before he
had had an injection of any kind
whatever, and that the injections
that he did have after he saw the
children were heart stimulants,
nltroglycerioe, which everybody
knows is not narcotic at all.
Specification 2. THE issue of
Leaves of Healing, September
25th, 1897, page 767; on this page
Mr.. Dowie makes the assertion
that Samuel Zeller, in Switzer-
land, successor to Dorothea Tru-
dell, is "stinkpot" and "beer-
| pot" In point of fact Mr.. Zeller
neither smokes nor drinks beer.
Mr.. Dowie himself was informed
OF this long ago, and yet neverre-
tracted the slanderous statement.
HE SPEAKS FALSE Docr2GNH.
III. I know that Mr.. Dowie
makes claims for himself and for
his paper, Leaves of Healing, that
are presumptaous and blasphe-
nous.
Specification 1. In Leaves of
Healing, volume S, No. 81, page
596. Mr.. Dowie says:
I have the right to stand here
and say in Zion you have to do
what tell you! Oh! The whole
church? Yes1 the whole church

Baptist, Episcopal. 1t is the most
daring thing I ever said. The

DOWIE, THE PROPHET.

By request of the Fitzgerald
Ministerial Alliance we publish
the following, taken from Ram s
Horn, with reference ITO the So
called prophet Dowie and his
"Zion:"
Editor of The Rams Horn;
I have received your
letter asking me what think of
Mr.. Dowie. will tell you some
things know about him which is
more important, and thus answer
agood many similar inq uiries that
are coming to me.
HE SPEAKETH LIES
|. know that Mr.. Dowie and
his Leaves of Hea1ingstat things
which are not true.
Specification 1. On page 40,
issue February 3, 1900, Leaves of
Healing, Mr.. Dowie says:
Dwight. Moody became sick
from the moment that he told
Reginald Studd, init presence
of R. A. Torrey and others, in
October,f 1898, that he would
fight Zion and fight DR.. Dowie,
and fight Divine Healing" The
conversation. related here with Sc
much detail, as happening in my
presence, never occurred at all.
Specification 2. He Chat is
Mr.. Moody meyer saw awe1l day
from that minute" This is also
untrue. 1t is true that MI. Moody
suffered from heart disease since
1892, and he was told by a physi-
clan at that time that he must
not preach but once a day; but
this he would not consent to, and
compromised on twice day. But
in the spring of 1899, several
months after the date mentioned
by Leaves of Healing, Mr.. Moody
held series of meetings in De-
troit, at which I was present
with him, and he was in remark
able good health; preached from
3 to 6 in the afternoon and from
7 to 10 in the evening. We stop
ped at the same hotel, were to-
gether constantly, and he was in
as good health as he had been for
years.
Specification 3. In the issue
of Leaves of Healing of Nov 18th,
1899, pages "a and IS, he says,
Mr.. Torrey spoke in the high
est terms of the work here Chat
is at Zion), saying that he believ-
ed in Divine Healing, and that he
believed the work of Zion was the
work of Cod" That reported
conversation is given with great
deal of detail asoccurring in Chi
cago, Friday, September goth.
Such conversation never occur
red at all. l said nothing Of the
kind, in fact was not in Chicago
on that day and had not been
here for upwards Of three months.
The alleged testimony and con-
versation is downright fabrica-
ton from beginning to end. Ev-
erybodY that has written me
about Zion, and a great many
have, know what my real opinion
of it is; and believe it is any
thing but the work of God.
Specification 4. ''Mr. Dowie
has published in Leaves of Heal
ing, and since in tract form, and
scattered far and wide, a state
