D0WIE OPENS UP
HIS CAMPAIGN
Elijah Not Much Impressed With
New York Manners.
CURIOUS CROWDS WERE OUT
BUT THEY DIDN'T TRY TO HEAR
HIM PREACH.

A EW YORK, oct 1S.-John Alexan-
IN der Dowie. who calls himself
Elijah the Restorer," faced his
first New York audience today and, al
though Madison Square Garden was
thronged at the afternoon and evening
meetings and thousands were turned
away from the doors. he found himself
confronted with what he called a new
experience when thousands. having evil
IDENTITY satisfied their curiosity. threw
the meetings into confusion by their
sudden exodus before the ceremonies
had fairly begun
Commands TO close the doors and pre-
vent exit were unavailing, and the
prophet gave vent 10 displays of much
petulance on finding that it was one
thing to gather a great New York au-
dience. but quite another affair to COM
mand its interest after the first de-
mands Of curiosity had been satisfied.
The house toulouse yisitatiOns by the
hosts of crusade meetings win be in
augurated tomorrow.

Columbian University's New Home.

The decision of the trustees of Columbian
University to give the institution an en-
tirely new equipment on grounds opposite
the great government reservation south of
the White House serves two great ends
apart from the immediate effect upon the
university itself 1t will materially add to
the stature of Washington as an educa-
tional center and it will effectively supple
ment the movement to develop the capital
artistically. From either point of view the
project therefore, commends itself to the
good will and support of all Washing
tonians. regardless of their relationship to
this particular seat of learning.
The growth of Columbian University as
an educational Institution has not been ac-
companied by the development of "a COM

Measures Of Preservation.

Two plausible measures for the preserva-
ton rather than the creation Of wealth
are being exploited in the press. One Of
these looks to the organization of COM
pany to insure employers against loss by
strike and the other to the education OF
men as experts in protection against fire.
A strike insurance company would exert
it's influence for peace between employers
and employees, and the knowledge that en-
ployers were insured against loss might be
a restraint in itself to lawless employees.
1t is within reason that a strike insur-
ance policy might contain a clause reliev-
ing the insuring company from liability
should the holder of the policy refuse to
arbitrate.
1t has been given out by western uni
versity that it will establish a course in
fire protection" The student taking such
a course will be taught to run a fire en-
CINE to install an automatic sprinkler, to
estimate the value of fire walls and fire
DOORS to know the relative merits Of build
ing materials and to compute fire hazards
The graduate will be required to know a
great deal about the business of insurance
and something about architecture, electric
ity and chemistry.

King Peter in a Corner.

The dilemma of King Peter Of Servia
with regard to the future treatment Of
those who killed his predecessor Is made
even more delicate and dangerous than be-
fore by the promotion. in advance of his
actual ascent of the throne, Of the officers
who were most conspicuous in the crime.
AS matter of form their new commissions
to higher army grades are made out in the
kings name, but it may be questioned
whether he was consulted about the action
by the superior military authorities. That
these changes are in the nature of rewards
for the bloody services rendered by the
consrirators against Alexander cannot be
doubted, and should Peter attempt to inter-
fere with the course of the cabal he will
probably find himself seriously embarrassed
at the beginning of his reign. Yet if he
acquiesces in the promotions, and thereby
stamps the officers in question as deserv
ing Of reward, he will assume all respon-
Sibility for the assassinationS. 1t would
almost appear as though the army clique
had planned this move purposely to test
the new king. They evidently do not pro-
pose to wait and let matters drift giving
the Russian agents chance to get at
Peter and bend his mind toward a policy
of punishments. He cannot hope to escape
world censure If he does not move in the
interests Of justice, nor Is it likely that the
powers and the peoples of civilized lands
will forget about him in the course of
events. He will remain a conspicuous is
sue in the eyes Of all Christendom until he
chooses one or the other Of the two courses
now open to him. Even then he may be-
come-the center of an acutely interesting

Major Pond.

Major James B. Pond, who died yester-
day in New York. had strange and inter-
esting career, which undoubtedly was
source of material benefit and great pleas
ure to vast numbers of American people.
He developed to a point never before known
the system of presenting celebrities to the
gaze of the multitude. Men and women
with talents, or who had experienced
strange adventures, or who had made dis
coveries, or who were Of some passing in
terest to the crowd, were most successfully
managed by him. He had acquired to
high degree the knack of exploitation. He
knew with rare accuracy the desire of the
public to worship at the feet of genius, or
fortune, or oddly. Did man penetrate a
strange land, no sooner did he emerge than
Major Pond had organized him into
lecture attraction. Did a woman gain
prominence as the holder Of remarka BILE
views, she was at once the object of Major
Ponds attentions. Did a great thinker
gain the attention of the public for some
new theory or fact of nature discovered by
him, route was forthwith laid out for
him. The educational value Of these lee
lures and public displays of celebrities can
hardly be estimated. The public acquaint-
ance with facts was materially enlarged
thereby. Much was actually learned Of real
