1t is not the first time that Roxburghe
has had his engagement announced.
Two years ago it was said he was going
to marry Pauline Astor, daughter of

The duke, a soldier by profession, is
the first cousin of the duke of Marlbor-

that Of Marlborough. The mother of
Roxburghe is the daughter OF the

HE BANKS ON DOWIE
Andrew Taylor, a Commercial Trav-

Invest in Zion.
The Twin Cities Annually Pay Thou

Products.

II am 81 years old and have been sew
enteen years on the road as commercial
salesman. have been two years in Zion
and do not consider that am taking the
slightest chance as you call 1t, in in
vesting all my worldly wealth in Zion,''
declared Andrew Taylor Of Zion City, Il
linois, yesterday.
Mr.. Taylor, who sells the products of
the Zion City lace factories to retailers in
all parts Of the United States, registered
at the West hotel yesterday noon and left
for Chicago last night. He is Of Scotch
Irish parentage and came originally from
the west of Ireland. He has been fol-
lower of DR.. Alexander Dowie two years
II entered Zion in London two years
ago." said Mr.. Taylor, "and at that time
I was one of the biggest smokers in Eng
land and a steady whisky drinker. Since
I entered Zion T. haven't touched a drink
Of any sort nor have used tobacco. II
I were to do either would forfeit to DR.
Dowie the 1,100year lease have on my
property in Zion City.
when I came over to this country
eleven months ago sold out all my prop
erty there and invested it in Zion and my
savings are now going into a house in
Zion City.
do consider that am running any
risk in putting all my money into Zion
City? OF course 7 don't. I am a practical
business man who, was made to see how
should live by lions people and I an,
glad to have my all with them.
GAS DR.. Dowie himself says it is not a
question of DR.. Dowie alone. It is a
question Of Christian socialism. When
Dr. Dowie dies, his successor, already
selected, will take his place and Zion will
go on just as ever. "a
Yes, Dr. Dowie is trying to raise more
money. He is always raising money. It
takes money to run Zion and to establish
her industries In the lace making indus
try, for instance. it takes 100000 for a
curtain machine and $4,000 for an ordi-
nary lace machine. That counts up
The twin cities annually pay thousands
| for our, laces. It's all right to have all the
wealth in DR.. ,Dowie's hands. That's his
idea, have all the w alth in one mans
hands. That is the best way of carrying
on the work of Zion. Ills -,-....
Among the $4,000 people now in Zior

much greater power than 1T is now.''

Court. 5s,z.....
The criminal courtroom Of the Mime
apolis municipal court is a very noisy
place. It is SO noisy that the regular
routine businessris} often interfered with.
the only remedy, so fateias the court is
concerned, is to remove to new quarters.
The noise is due largely to the fact that
the windows Of the room are directly OPP
posite to the coal hole thru which all the
coal used in heating the: courthouse. and
city hall is taken into the building. = The
sound of the .bailiff's qgavel every morn
ing seems to be a signal for some coal
wagon driver to pull out the rear end
gates of his wagon and allow half a. ton
of coal to rattle intn the basement with
deafening roar. %sFoAeWing this coal
avalanche comes the steady scraping of
the. driver as she shovels the rest OF his
load into the basement. =
Another source of annoyance In police
court is an unnecessary amount Of moving
about on the part Of officers, witnesses
and spectators. While, the noise made
by them is not great in itself, when taken
in,connection with the noise from without,
1t makes the dip almost unbearable
