BUFFALO. N. Y. Oct. 15.-Seven
trainloads of John Alexander Dowie's
restoration host, bound for New York.
arrived here today, and, after spending
few hours at Niagara Falls, resumed
their pilgrimage to New York.
1t had been announced that DR..
Dowie would hold meeting in Pros
pect park upon his arrival at the
Falls. Several local preachers called
upon Assistant Superintendent Perry
and lodged protest against the use Of
the public park for missionary work
by the ZiOnists. When DR.. Dowie's
lieutenants asked for permission to
erect stand. their request was re-
fused. DR.. Dowie. when informed. sent
back message for the assistant SUI
perintendent, stating that he had no
intention to violate the law, and that
he merely wished to hold short song
and prayer service in the park and in
cidentally have the meeting photo
graphed.
Mr.. Perry granted the permit to that

GOLDEN AGE FOR

epecial to The Globe.

special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-This is the gold
en- age for wage earners, according to
officials of the Employers association.
Figures have been compiled by this or
ganization which show that the cost
of living in Chicago has increased less
than 10 per cent, while wages have
gone up in some cases 100 per cent.
Even the average increase in wages,
they say, has been far greater than the
increase in the cost of living From
the figures gathered at small markets
where workingmen purchase their sup
plies and from the department stores,
it is estimated that family spending
$1,000 in 1898 would have to spend
$1,139.50 in 1903 to purchase the same
amount of food, clothing and shelter.
This makes the increase between IL
and liz per cent. The reports show
the following increases:
Milk, 20 per cent; round steak, 20 per
cent; pork chops. 40 per cent: break
fast bacon, SO per cent; ham, SO per
cent; lard, 40 per cent; picked pork,
20 per cent. Clothing and dry goods,
according to the report, have decreas-
ed 4.78 pei. cent.

MURDERAND SUICIDE
Man Kills Young Woman and
Then Shoots Himself.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Oct *
Josephine Mead. aged eighteen wears
formerly a school teacher at Los An
geles and who came here three weeks
ago to attend college at Berkeley. was
shot and killed here this afternoon by
an unknown man, who then committed
suicide. Miss Mead was shot as she
was approaching her lodging place at
NO 1919 La Guna street. After shoot
ing the girl, the man walked a short
Instance down the street, and, placing
MS pistol to his head, blew his brains
out.
Miss Mead, who comes of "a we'll
known Los Angeles family, was very
beautiful The man who did the shoot
ing was apparently about thirty years
old and poorly dressed.
Mrs. Robb, of 1919 La Guna street
where the dead girl lived said Miss
Mead came here three weeks ago. She
was quiet girl and had no callers
NO one ever inquired after her and
am OF the opinion that a fanatic com
mltted the deed. She came here from
Boston, intending to go to Berkeley
university. She went there one dav
ana then received a telegram from her
uncle IN Los Angeles. After reading
the telegram Miss Mead said she did
not know whether she would be able
" continue at berkeley or not until
she had seen her uncle, who was COM
Ing to the city. After she saw her
uncle her plans were undecided. After
Miss Mead received the telegram from
her uncle, man who appeared to be a
lawyer, called at her home and they
went over some legal documents to-
gether."
On the body of the murderer was
found a transfer check of the Union
transfer company with the name O.
l.. Schneider, 20,565. The murderer
was well-built man about D feet
inches in height and weighed about $50
pounds. At the Union Transfer COM
pany's Office the clerk said the number
2O,565 belonged to a trunk still on
ther premises, which carried the name
of z. I. Smith. The trunk arrived this
morning.
Miss Mead was shot by Paul
Schmidt, aged twenty five years.
Schmidt and Miss Mead have been ac-
qualnted several years and were once
engaged to marry. His attentions be-
came distasteful to her, however and
she, becoming alarmed at his threats
against her life, gave up her position
In Los Angeles and went to Boston to
escape him, afterward coming to this
city, where Schmidt followed.
Miss Mead was niece of Vicar Cen
eral Hartnett, of the Southern Cali
fornia diocese, and was of an excellent
reputation.

size of the army Venezuela could be
expected to raise and the time 1t would
take properly to equip it, was investi-
gated.
The officers returned by way of Pam
anna and investigated the resources
and defenses of the isthmus While
there they had several conferences
with Maj. Black, of the engineer corps,
who is stationed at Panama in connec-
ton with the canal project.
The officers report, which was made
to the division of military information,
was received with great satisfaction.
Aside from its military aspect they
made a report on political conditions in
Venezuela, which was highly import
ant.
Other officers will be sent at once
on similar missions to all of the South
American countries. To give them a
status they will be accredited as mill
tary attaches, but the utmost secrecy
will be observed in their assignments.
Venezuela was selected as the country
to be investigated first, for the reason
that the staff officers believe trouble is
most likely to break out there.
There is reason to believe that the
general staff has learned that Ger
many has had military agents and
spies at work in Venezuela for some
time, in preparation for an invasion of
that country. Some of the staff officers
privately admit that they believe Ger
many is preparing to resist any inter-
vention by the United States in defense
of the Monroe doctrine. This means
that they think the kaiser is preparing
for the war with the United States
which he knows, would follow an at
tempt to acquire territory in Venezu-
ella. The general staff proposes to be
equally ready for it.
The staff officers fear there will be
trouble over the collection of the GUS
toms receipts that were to be set aside
by President Castro for the payment
of the foreign claims and that this will
be used by Germany as an excuse for
selling the customs houses and precip-
itating trouble.

STOMACH REMOVED
Man Survives a Rare Surgical
Operation.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Oct 15.-Wi-
liam Moss. a farmer living near Pom
eroy, left the Samaritan hospital for
nome without a stomach, yet feeling
well and weighing fifteen pounds more
than he did three weeks ago.
The operation of removing Moss
stomach was performed at the hospital
a little more than three weeks ago
Moss is fifty EIGHT years old, and had
always been we'll until few months
ago He began to have trouble with
MS stomach and finally the physicians
told him he was suffering with cancer.
ne grew worse, and when he started
Tor Sioux City he had lost forty-fiye
pounds. The cancer had grown so
large that, the outlet of the stomach
INTO the Intestines was INSTRUCTED In
1act the man was dying of starvation
when he arrived at the city hospital
The surgeon found that the man was
apparently in good physical condition,
with the exception of the cancer, and
determined to resort to the operation
Inc stomach was cut out so as to leave
a narlng end of the gullet and at the
lower end was cut off where it narrows
to merge into the intestines. When
the stomach had been removed the
funnel-Shaped part attached to the
eSophaguS was stitched so as to form
small sack with a small orifice Then
came the difficult part of the opera
ton. This orifice and the open end of
the intestine had to be joined together
IN SUCH way as to make an air. tight
and water-tight passage. BY delicate
stitching this was accomplished, and
the intestinal tract was once more in
tact.
The wound was closed and after a
few days. in which the joint in the in
testines was allowed to heal, the man
was given food. Gradually the amount
of food was increased, until now Moss
eats as much as he desires.

Mark Twain Writes Strong Letter to

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Samuel L.
Clemens Mark Twain) has written a
letter to the Woman's Municipal league
on the subject of the coming election,
in which he says:
Il should think that any humane
and honest person would rather be
convicted of one robbery and one muir
der than become the cold and deliber-
ate confederate in wholesale robbery
and wholesale murder by voting a
Tammany ticket.
Certainly if anything is proven up
to the hilt, Tammany's financial his
tory and health statistics of 1901 prove
that Tammanys especial and remorse-

wholesale destruction of health and

Life Was Threatened Before.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 15.-Jo-
sephine Mead was well-known here as
a teacher in the public schools. Her
departure from Los Angeles was caus-
ed by the unwelcome attentions of
man whose name has not yet been
learned. For several months he per-
secuted her and insisted that she mar
ry him. When she refused, he threat
ened to kill her and in fear of her life
she gave UP her position and left for
the East. Last Monday at the regular
meeting of the board of education Miss
Mead's resignation was rendered and
accepted. She had written from San
Francisco, stating that she would not
be able to return to Los Angeles.

A STRIKE THAT FAILED.

The strike in the Minneapolis flour
mills, whose failure is now conceded.
illustrates excellently how organiza-
ton may become little less than or
ganized folly. These men were carried
away by the idea of their own power.
They attempted, not really to remedy
any grievances Of their own, but to
force shorter day for unskilled labor
ers outside of their own ranks. The re-
suit is that they themselves or those
who took their places are likely to
have their wages reduced.
A large amount of money has been
spent by this union and by those in
sympathy with it in support of the
strike. This has been worse than
wasted. The greatest misfortune is
the loss of their positions by SO large
number of honest and efficient work.

ly the rashness with which such men
follow unwise leaders when the ones

In this instance the high labor author
tiles who investigated the situation
were free to criticise the action that
precipitated the strike and failed to
give it their unconditional support.
We know that such men are them
selves inclined to look favorably if they
can upon the demands of labor How
foolish was it, then, for these employees,
without consultation and certainly

without due reflection, to take action
that has cut off their own industrial
prospects and placed their associates
and successors in a worse position
than they were before. The moral of
it all is the old one; that the strike in
every case should be the last des-
perate resource of labor after, and
only after, every other means of cor
recting conditions not merely unsatis-
factory but intolerable, have been tried
and failed.
