REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, Feb. 2--Among the church,
going people of this city a good deal of per-
turbation has been caused by the news that
John Alexander Dowie, the Elijah II" of
the Chicago "Zion," is preparing to descend
upon Manhattan with 5000 of his followers.
TIT report of his contemplated crusade
was confirmed to-day by the management
OF Madison Square Garden, which has been
engaged by his agents for the period be-
tween October Is and November /.
1t Is not likely that there will be any at
tempt by the clergy to prevent Dowie from
holding meetings here, at least SO long as
he does not promulgate immoral doctrines
or offend the cosmopolitan sense of decency.
Doctor Charles H. Parkhurst to-day
probably voiced the sentiment of the
churches when he said:
There are two things to be considered
in this matter: In the first place, the effect
OF opposition often is to encourage and
stimulate the Objectionable thing. In the
second place, 1t is only Just to consider him
as a nonoffender till he commits some Of
tense Until Dowie demonstrates immoral
1ty In his teachings l suppose We cannot
ligntiy put any restriction, upon him. I

places II his meetings are orderly, any more

pie are fascinated by these things that pre-
tend to be Christianity. I suppose il fools

diet for the animals must suit their tastes.

NINE. SCHUMANN. HEINK SANG
BEFORE A DELIGHTED AUDIENCE.

These are typical Of the German school,
filled with wierd, longing melody. Rendered
in the rich notes of Nine. Schumann-Heink
they possessed great charm.
That the audience was pleased with the
work of the soloist was demonstrated by
the fact that she was called out several
times after her last number, and no one left
until she responded with an encore. For
this she sang a selection, which was de-
lightful. but was really in the nature Of a
trick song. as in 1t were several trills
and other unusual passages. 1t was not
necessary for her to have sung a selection
of this character in order to have gained
the esteem of her hearers.
The final number. an aria from Saint
Saens's Samson and Della" one Of the
most attractive numbers. was sung with
great taste and feeling. Other numbers were
"Frauenliebe und Leben," by r. Schumann.
and a group Of songs by Brahms. The
Schumann number. a long and exceedingly
difficult composition. was one of the fea-
lures Of the recital.
Nine Schumann-H eink's work was great
1y enhanced in value by the clever accom-
paniment of Mrs. Johanna Hess-Burr, who
was at the piano. The accompaniment was
never so loud as to detract from the sing
ing. and it filled In its place with artistic
nicenesS.

DEATH TRAP WILL SPRING
FOR GURLEY AT DAYBREAK.
Negro Spent His Last Night Preparing
for the Ordeal on
the Gallows.

Charles Gurley. the negro slayer of Rosie
Higgins, will pay the penalty for his crime
on the gallows this morning. Electric lights
have been placed in the Jail yard. Sheriff
Dickma has decided to wait until later in
the morning than the hour selected for the
hanging of Thomas Dunn a month ago and
the lights may not be used. "
The crime for which Gurley Is to pay
the death penalty was committed on April
30. 1901. He had been living with Rosie
Higgins. a negress. He treated her cruelty
and she left him. He attempted to induce
her to return to him. She refused. Then,
drawing a razor. he slashed right and left.
Morguekeeper Cowie declared that the
woman's body was cut from head to foot.
He declared that he had never seen q more
mutilated body.
Guriey was arrested soon, after his crime.
He was tried and found guilty. The Su-
preme Court sustained the finding of the
owe court. Governor Dockery granted one
respite Of thirty days. He refused to inter-
fere further.
GurIey ate a hearty supper of rabbit, ham
and eggs. bread and butter and coffee at
s o'clock and remarked after the feast that
he felt better. He was calm until very late.
when be began to show signs Of weakness.
He was cheered by his guards and visitors.

The recital of Nine. -Heink
at the Odeon last night was one of the
notable music events of the year in st.
Louis. which season has produced more
really good music than has ever been the
case before. The voice of the great Ger
man singer was in excellent condition, n
every detail OF the concert combined to
make al artistic and music success.
Much credit is due the officers and man
ayers of the st. Louis Protestant Orphan
Asylum for their clever management. The
concert was given for the benefit of that
institution, and the large and representa-
tive audience which filled every seat leaves
no doubt as to the financial success. So
ciety turned out en- masse in the worthy
cause of charity.
All of Nine. Schuma1n-Henk' numbers
were sung in German. They were chosen
evidently with the view of giving her an
opportunity to display the scope and nu-
merous admirable qualities of her rich So
prano voice. OF these qualities 1t is diff
cult to decide which is most pleasing. By
far the most striking is the dramatic quail
ity. The voice is filed with wonderful
sweetness and sympathy.
In the first part of the programme there
was a group of four songs by f. Schu-
bert. Der Neugierige," 'Rastlose L'ebe,'
Die Junge Nunne" and die Allmacht."

CLERK FINDS TARANTULAs.
Fred Wenzel Has an Experience
With Insects Among Bananas.

Fred Wenzel of No. 1929 Benton street
probably will never forget the experience he
had with a family of tarantulas he found
in q bunch Of bananas.
Wenzel is a clerk In William wlnkel-
manns grocery at No. 2S01 Benton street,
Yesterday morning a girl entered the store
went to wait upon her.
Half a dozen bananas had been removed
from the bunch, when, suddenly. near his
hand. Wenzel saw creeping toward him the
legs OF what he first believed was a huge
spider. Upon second glance. however, he
saw that 1t was e tarantula. Wenzel was
frightened when he realized how nearly he
had been to being bitten by the %tarantula,
whose sting is often fatal.
Leaping back he called to the cfnld for
whom he was getting the bananas to get
out of the way. The t~arantula was killed
and a search for more of the poisonous in
sects wal begun. The banana bunch proved
to be alive with baby tarantulas. They
were captured and placed in q bottle and
killed with carbolic acid.
