DOWIES BIG NIT GAME.

There is a law to cover almost every
graft" as worked by. John Alexander
Dowie. He claims to be an exponent
Of the teachings Of the meek and low
ly Saviour but his methods are bluff
and extortion. His latest instructions
to his followers, is that he needs
money and the people must dig up"
or get out of Zion. How sane people
could be so weak and unreasoning as
to see virtue and truth in the bluff
arrogance and selfishness of this man
Dowie. who breaks all laws of COM
mon decency in seeking to deny his
parents is beyond all reason. We have
the highest respect for every church
which seeks to uplift and assist men
to lead better lives but not the slight
est respect for church whose creed
is Dowie, a man whose entire mes
sage is maledictious against unbeliev
ers and "Give me your money" to be-
levers. This nation was founded by
people, who longed for an opportunity
to worship according to the dictates Of
their own conscience, and freedom in
religion as we'll as other matters is
guaranteed American citizens, but we
hate to see these privileges abused by
"grafters" who under the cloak of
religion are seeking to rob the people.

Worlds Fair Station.

In view of the fact that many
thousands of people will travel
to st. Louis over the Wabash
Railroad, it is interesting to re-
mark the facilities provided by
this road. The Wabash has de-
finitely determined upon plans
for a large station and terminal
at the approach of the exposi-
tion. The Wabash road will
build a station with 300 feet of
frontage on a grand entrance
plaza, 4O0X7O0 feet, which the
exposition will maintain at the
main gateway at Lindell and
De Baliviere Avenues. The
plaza will be cut off the end of
the Catlin tract, on which The
Pike is to be located. A subway
200 feet wide will carry street
car passengers under the main
tracks of the Wabash where
they cross De Balivere Avenue
at Forsyth Junction. The
tracks will be elevated at this
point. At no point near the
main gateway of the Fair
will different kinds of traffic
cross on the same.level. Fifteen
spur tracks will leave the Wa
bash main line 1900 feet east
of De Balivere Avenue, and,
entering the eastern portion of
the Catlin tract at that point,
will run directly into the stat
ion by the interlocking system.
Provision has been made in the
trackage plans to assure the un-
loading or loading of $4,000 pas
sengers every day. Excursion
trains will enter and leave the
terminal spurs on the same
track. The Wabash main line
will carry four tracks for the
entire distance along the north
front of the exposition.
Through trains willstop at plat
forms along the main tracks
on the north side of the leased
track, and in the immediate
proximity to the Worlds Fair
station. Buffalo Courier July
9th, 1903.

I'VE have tools for opening safrs,"
snid the foreman of the machine room
of II safe factory, that no burglar
could initiate even If he got them. But
it would be one Of the most difficult
things in the world for him to get even
q sight of them. The tool room Is
guarded ns closely as II bank vault. A
Waterman stays in it all night We IRE
very careful about employing our III n.
They must give bonds aud have the
best of references. The chance of a
burglar getting into our employ for the
purpose of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about
Very frequently we have hurry calls
for a man to open safe where the
time clock has gone nskew or whore the
clerk has forgotten the combination
You can rendily imagine that with Il
bank or trust company 1t is un essen
till thing to have tie safe open before
business begins. When we scnl q
man out he takes n wngon load of tools.
Ing the lock. and he does not know pre-
clsely what the trMlbl. Ia He carries
Il Photograph of himself with orr ere
dentials on ii. Nor Will he open tie
safe while alone. fome bank official
must remain with him, no nlattcr how
long the job takes. That Is for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberics have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.
TO mechanics In our business 1t Is
laughablc to read that full kit Of bur
glars tools has been found beside
safe. AS hnvc suid, 1t would require
an express wagon to carry them. and
burglars don't work that way. II they
care to take chances by blowing up a
safe with dynamite 1t Is another mat
ter; but those fellows nearly always
get caught.
"A police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. Tho big crooks
are all spotted ind are afraid to go ont
and buy the material for Them Some
of them send their wives and children"
-Philadelphia Ledger.
