Dowie Attacks Christian Science.
(By the Associated Press.}


New York, Oct. 27.--At the early morn
ing service in Madison Square Garden to-
day, Dowie announced that a public bap-
tlsm would take place in the garden this
week.
About one thousand persons attended
the regular morning meeting, when Dowie
talked on Christian Science, and especial
ly on Mrs. Eddy and her book. He de-
clared that Christian Science was neither
Christianity nor science. Mrs. Eddy's
book, he declared, was inconsistent with
the first elements of gdod sense
THE only possible charm in the book, .
he continued, seems to be that Il is inn
possible t. understand There is one grain
of truth of Christian Science It teaches
that disease does not come from God.
'As for arguments of the scientists
that there Is no such thing as feeling, tast-
ing or smelling except in the imagination
of persons, it is all bosh.'
Dowie concluded by saying that Chris
tlan Science undermined all common
veracity in the humand mind"

President of Armenian Revo-
Iutionary Society
ONCE LIVED IN NEW YORK
he Crime is Believed 10 Have Been Commit
ted by Msmbsr Of the Afarist Sec
tion of the Armenian
S0ri0fy
Society.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Oct. 27.-Sagatel Sagounl, pres-
dent of the Armenian Revolutionary So
ciety in London, was murdered in the SUI
burb of Nunhead late yesterday evening.
The crime has created a sensation as it
has every appearance of being of a politl-
cal character, and has been preceded by
the assassinations of other officials of
branches of the same society on the con-
tinent.
Sagouni, who only returned to London
yesterday, was entering his residence when
a man rushed across the road and fired
four shots at him in quick success
sion, the last bullet entering the region
of the heart The murderer, who appeared
to be a foreigner, fled. The only clues to
the man in possession of the authorities
are felt hat and silver-plated revolver,
both made in New York, which he dropped
in his flight.
The murdered man. who was a mining
engineer became wealthy in the Caucasus
and devoted his money to the Armenian
cause. His society was entirely passive
and opposed to violence and it is thought
by some that this attitude inspired the
advanced section of the Armenians with
the desire for vengeance. Sagouni is said
to have moved to England from New
York early in 1902. Sagouni's friends at
tribute the murder to the Alfarist section
Of the Hentchakist Society. This section,
headed by man named Altar, was eX
PEELED from the society just after the split
in 1895, when, it is alleged the Alfarists
were paid spies of the Sultan of Turkey.
The feud became more acute in 1902 and
an attack on the editor of the Boston
edition of the Hentchak followed.
A former editor of the Hentchak, Nazar-
beck, was stabbed last week at Lausanne,
Switzerland, by an Alfarist.
A man arrested on suspicion of be-
ing the murderer of Sagouni but later
released from custody.
The police are of the opinion that the
assailant of Nazarbeck at Lausanne and
the murderer of Sagouni are identical
1t is stated that Sagouni's life had been
threatened on account of his participation
in the exposure, by the editor of Bos-
ton newspaper Young Armenia, of the
misappropI'ation of funds by a faction of
the Armenian revolutionists. These men
are alleged to have collected $4,000 in
America in 1902 and put the money
their own pockets, instead of pushing Il
propaganda for the emancipation of tb
Armenians, for which the money was sui
