Moans Lost Her Rudder.

The accident to the steamship Mo-
ana, briefly told of in the cable dis
patches last week, is reported in the
Chronicle on November 26, as follows
A telegram from Puget Sound yes
terday reported that the steamer Mo-
ana, from Sydney, had struck the rocks
and was immovable for several hours,
as result of making a wrong course
in entering the William Head quaran-
tine station. The rudder was carried
away and some other slight damage
was done. The Moana is well known
here, having formerly been on the
Sydney route connecting with this
port, and is commanded by Captain
Carey.

The art of counterfeiting food prod
ucts seems to have enlisted much of
the rare talent that once went in for
initiating bank bills. The Argonaut
says that ordinary liver patty is now
made into Strassburger pate de foie
gras by means of borax and finely
chopped pieces of black silk represent
ing truffles; in Paris he says, snails are
adulterated with the lungs of cattle
and horses: even entirely artificial
snails are manufactured, the shells be-
ing recoated with slime, and filed with
lung; chopped truff1es" are made out
OF black rubber silk, or softened
leather; whole truffles'' are made
from roasted potatoes favored with
ether; and fresh rooster combs" are
made from hogs intestines. Perhaps
these are examples enough without
drawing further from the reports of
II. S. Consuls to sustain the plea for a
national pure food law.

THE PASSING OF DowIE.

Dowie has had a remarkable career
as a financier: but anybody who has
the hypnotic power of deceiying people
into giving their savings to him, may
accumulate as much as he did. The
final success of such men, however,
is tested by their power to manage
and to keep their dupes in line to
make good all losses or deficiencies.
That is where Dowie failed. He
was able, at first, in his character of
hungry zealot, to secure thousands of
converts and hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The people and the money
he invested in Zion City. His enter
prises were well started but in the in
eyitable frictions of community life
and business he lost his grip upon the
veneration of his followers. As the
latter grew more commercial, they be-
became more prosperous he became
less respected There was mutiny
among the lace-makers; many people
left "Zion'' and flouted the pretensions
OF Dowie to be a resurrected and re-
incarnated prophet of old; contribu-
tions fell off. Then Dowie tried
coup d'theatre. To New York he went
to start a revival, hoping to draw into
his church enough tithe-bearing wealth
to save the credit of Zion City, over
which the shadow of a receivership
had begun to hover. But New York
heard and laughed. A rich and we'll
fatted evangelist, standing in the very
whirl of worldly life, in an age OF
rationalism, and proclaiming himself
the returned Elijah could only be met
with ridicule and jeers. Out of New
York's three millions but forty
seven people were converted"
none of them being people of means
and most of them women. Money
was lost not made, by the New York
venture; and but one thousand dol
lars were subscribed by Zionites out
of the million demanded by Dowie as
pledge of their fidelity. Now ruin
comes. :.
But fools are born every minute and
If Dowie disappears some one of hyp-
motto power and equally incredible pre-
tensions will enlist as many dupes as
he did in some other fantastic enter
prise. The passing of Dowie will be
no particular gain to the world; there
are others What humanity needs is
q reduction in the number of persons
who are easily gulled.

A MAMMOTH PLow.

The biggest grub breaker plow in the
world, perhaps, says the Minneapolis
journal, certainly the biggest ever seen
in the Northwest, has just been com
pleted by the Minneapolis Plow Works,
of that city. An implement of the Mont
tor type, the big pillow has l2-foot beam,
weighs OQpounds, cuts furrow twenty
two inches wide, and is strenuous enough,
behind traction engine, to grub out
three acres in one day. The single share
and the great standing coulter are con-
trived to wrench forth the toughest and
the snaggiest of stumps and roots, with
out any previous assistance from grub
hoe. Only one man will be required to
direct the docile tool. Jumbo has been
created for J. B. Beauchamp, an i'm
Element dealer Of North Dakota, who
ordered it for Adelard Plante. 1t will
rip the roof off China in fields near Olga

border.

Wyeth, last years derby winner, gets 115 pounds, while Six Shooter, which won the stake in 1902, gets in at 115 pounds. He carried 116 last year.
 McChesney will have any number of light weighted performers to contend with some capable to give any horse a good ar gument over distance of ground.
 Of the possible starters Little Scout which ran third to McChesney Saturday, gets in at 102 pounds. Linguist, which however, has not shown any liking for the distance, gets in at 95 pounds. Lucien Appelby will carry 106 pounds should he start. Judge Hines. which at least can go the distance, Is assigned 102 pounds Flying Torpedo is at 169 pounds, while Bellies Comomner gets IA pounds.

SUNDAY VloLATERs.
Several Arrests Were Made Yesterday.
 Chief WIer's Policy.

Several men were arrested yesterday for violating the Sunday law, and ac- cording to the order of Judge Feagin they will be given the limit of the law when they appear before him this morn- ing.
 An order to all proprietors of general stores In the city was issued several days ago telling them that they must not sell anything but cigars and soda water on Sunday, and that this must be kept outside their stores. Several vio- lated the law yesterday. so the police claim, and they will have to answer a charge before Judge Feagin in the morning.
 Chief Wier has taken this step in or der to break up the Sunday violations In many of the stores on the outskirts of the city the proprietors would open on Sunday under pretense Of selling cigars and soda water. but In reality to do a general business.
 A barroom on South Twentieth street was raided during the afternoon for al- legged violation of the Sunday law, and several proprietors of small stores were arrested and placed under bond. Among these were the proprietors of a fruit stand on the Southsde.

ARMSTRONG RETURNS.
Has Investigated the Case of Customs House Employees at New York.

Washington, June 8.-Assistant Secre- tary Armstrong of the treasury depart ment has returned to the city from brief business trip to New York, during which he looked into the cases of Samuel w. Thompson and Walter R. Eaton, em- ployes of the custom house, who are ad- vertised as members of the board of directors of a mining company whose business has been under investigation by an official of the postoffice department.
 MT. Armstrong has requested a written report from these officials respecting their connection with the company and the alleged misrepresentations by the company in its advertisements of the positions held by them under the govern ment, and says he expects these reports to be ready for Collector Strain tomor- row. Mir. Armstrong tonight made 1t plain that Thompson and Eaton will be required to give up their connection with the company if they expect to remain in the custom service and that if their posi- tions were misrepresented with their con- sent and approval. they will be liable to removal from office.
 Treasury officials express decided objec- tion to persons employed in the customs service engaging at the same time in some other business, and intend to break up this practice as far as possible, hold ing that it is detrimental to the best in- terests of the service. There are many occasions. officials point out, where the government needs the service of an em- ploye in the customs department out side of regular office hours and if they happen to be engaged in business which interferes with this, then the government is the sufferer

ALLEYS AND STREETS
 NOW MUCH CLEANER
Department Did Good Work In Busi- ness seetlon-Candy Stands Not
 Allowed on the Sidewalks.

The alleys and streets in the business section were cleaned Saturday night as was promised by the street department, with the assistance of the police. The latter acted as advance agents and warn ed the people to remove everything valua- ble from the alleys.
 Boxes, barrels, tubs and many other varities of rubbish were carted away Sat urday night and early Sunday morning, and the alleys present a much cleaner and more respectable appearance.
 Comment on the improvement was very general in the city yesterday, and the clean condition was noticeable. Many did not think that the order was to be car rled out as there have been several false alarms in the past. The general opinion Is that if the work is kept up regularly and systematically that 1t will aid to large extent in doing away with the repu- tation that Birmingham has of being dirty city.
 Today is the last day of grace which was allowed the fruit stand proprietors to place their candy and cigar stands in- side their stores or get arrested and pay the limit of the law. They were warned several days ago that nothing except the stands for fruits would be allowed on the sidewalk, but Chief Wier gave them several days of grace as some of them had spent considerable money in improve rnenta

30 CARPENTERS
 OUT ON STRIKE
THREE OF CRAFT AT WORK ON NEW SKY scRAPER WERE DIS CHARGED AND OTHERS QUIT. WORK GOES ON.

Thirty carpenters who were at work on the First National Bank ten-story build ing struck Saturday morning. They gave as their reason that they were dissatisfied with Mir. Armstrong, under whom they were working and who discharged three of the carpenters.
 It Is probable that most of them will go back to work this morning. It seems that MT. Armstrong in discharging three men, claimed they did not suit him. Some of the others went to him and asked for a reason, which he refused to give. There was a meeting of the Carpenters Union Friday night and the men were ordered not to go to work Saturday morning.
 Last night Superintendent Boyer, who has charge of the construction of the building. stated that the strike did not amount to anything and that he had pos itive assurance that at least twelve of the men would return to work this morning. He stated that the strike was contrary to the constitution of the Carpenters Union and that 1t would not be supported He stated that he anticipated no trouble, but that MT. Armstrong had a perfect right to discharge any men who did not suit him.
