will be the Zion band. This will play
and all the marchers will sing the bat

occupy several of the largest hotels
and will dine in state in their own pri-

by the managers Of the Madison

The Garden meetings will be con-

The choir to the number of 600 comes

hats The elders and their wives are
similarly attired and come in with the
choir. Behind these is Mrs. Jane, the
prophets wife. Her gown is black, the
sleeves are white and flowing, and
mortarboard hat is on her head. After
her appears the prophet, Elijah H.,
and then the audience rises. 1t re-

to the platform.
The choir is in the rear of this plat

sings the "Te Deum" and then the
prophet rises. He lays aside his NOR

and his voice fills the edifice as he
says: God be merciful to us and bless
us and cause thy face to shine upon
us; that thy way may be known upon
earth; thy saving health among all ma

Then he proceeds to talk.

An Interrupted story.

Captain Williams, a jovial Irishman,
known everywhere as Bob" used to
be favorite in Dublin society many
years ago. His stories were famous.
Give him an incident. and he would set
it out to the general admiration.
One evening he went into the club
and there began telling the true tale of
rescuing a lady and her daughters from
a dangerous situation into which their
spirited horses had brought them.
L quoted the ladies' said he, and
1 quoted the. horses. And the graft
tude of the ladies! Me boys, shouldn't
be surprised if her ladyship left me-
At that moment d little Irish page in
livery appeared.
Sir" said he, Lady Arnold says she
lost her purse when yez helped her out
of the carriage, and PLACE, she says,
do yez know anything about it?'
The captains story was never fin
ished.

The poverty of briefless barristeTs is

mistake To consider Il barrister with

one with none. But the modern ''One

yer, whose duty it is to act as his own
clients ounce of prevention, may be
found in the office of many large con-
Germs. He is often connected with
trust companies, banks, banking houses,
railroad and other transportation COM

tention of leading a pilgrimage of
1900 Zionists to the city of New York
and turning the spears of the Christian
Catholic Church of Zion against the in
EQUITIES of the metropolis, has already
sent his advance apostles to prepare
the way for his coming.
The restoration host is now gather
ing on the shore of Lake Michigan
northward from Chicago preparatory
to the invasion. The new crusade will
be up to date and will travel in special
trains. On one side of each coach will
be emblazoned the words, ''Zion's Res
toration Host" The first section of the
trains is scheduled to leave Chicago on
Oct. IA, and headquarters OF the army
will be established at Madison Square
Garden and Carnegie Music hall.
Dowie began his work as faith heal
er twelve years ago in little cottage
on the south side of Chicago. He de-
veIoped a power over crowds that gave
him the idea that he might enlarge his
field with profitable results. He hired
the Auditorium, founded a cult, estab-
lished Zion City, nicknamed himself
Elijah II. and, according to reports,
made $15,00O,000.
Dowie built up a great following.
His meetings in the Auditorium ON
Sunday afternoons attracted such
crowds that big overflow meetings had
to be held in the streets. In his talks
he attacked everybody and everything,
UaAI ,~Is oh
newspapers, Freemasonry. physicians
and druggists.
Dowie calls his following the "Chris-
tan Catholic Church of Zion." Zion
City, which he established, is forty-two
miles north of Chicago. 1t is complete
" under his control. No resident owns
his house entirely. The name John
Alexander Dowie' is over every door.

American branch of the Salvation
Army, and though they have now
withdrawn from this movement it is
probable that many of the rank and
file of the army will remain with him.
Chicago, of course, is familiar with
John Alexander Dowie's work, and
the country knows something of Zion
City. 1t occupies $500 acres in Lake
county, ILL.,, on the shore of Lake Mich
igan. No town lots were sold, but each
follower who builded there has a lease
for LOO years. No liquor is sold there,
nor tobacco, nor pork, nor oysters, and
drugs, medicine and surgery are I'M
known. The population is variously es-
timated at from 1000 to 1000, and
some of the houses cost as much as
$4,000. A dozen railroad trains arrive
and depart every day. Such is Zion
City No. 1.
The Rev. Dowie is of Scotch birth
and is between fifty-five and sixty
years of age. He has long white hair
and beard. His step is agile, his face
rosy, his eyes clear and commanding,
and when he speaks he attracts the
hearers interest. His speech and man
ner are unconventional. When his peo-
ME do not act to suit him he thunders
his denunciations.
The "Restorer'' is a man of education
and was trained as a Congregational
minister. He had his theological school
hg at a seminary in Edinburgh, and
then went to Sydney, New South
Wales. 1t was in the Edinburgh sem
mary that he found his faith healing
-.
laying on of hands.
While ipsE8dney he was arrested sew
eral times for holding meetings with
out a license. In 1873 he let so the Con-
Pregationaf church and set up a Free
Christian tabernacle in Melbourne. He

Francisco and two years later landed

Minnie Hnuck as a Drummer.

Nine. Minnie Hauck was once sing
ing at the Berlin court opera in Doni
zetti's Daughter of the Regiment"
Emperor William l., after the opera,
called her into his presence and told
her she had sung very nicely, but that
her drumming-as the Daughter of the
Regiment she had toplay the drum-was
very bad. Next morning drum major
of the First Grenldier regiment called
at her hotel and said he had come to
give her a drum lesson. The diva was
bound to accept the instruction and
learned the whole art of drumming in
a couple of dozen lessons. Then the
kaiser sent TO ask how she was getting
ON, and, hearing that she had made ex-
cellent progress. he commanded Il per-
Torrance of "A Daughter of the Regi-
ment." Nine. Hauck acquitted herself
exceIlently in the drumming scene, and
the kaiser complimented her warmly,

years ago was Captain Jinks of the

newsboys on the streets, played by
the debutantes in their lonely hours
