DOWB TO CHARGE Us IN FORCE
HE'S GOING TO CONVERT ALL NEW
YORK IN TEN DAYS.

The Chsrge Begins on Oct. II with 1000
chicago Warriors-Expects 10 Capture
400, 900 Converts . Day and Finish
Up the Job In Little More Than week
CHICAGO, March f.-Having accomplished
TO some extent his work In Chicago, John
Alexander Dowie to-day announced at
meeting in the Auditorium that tho battle
with Satan would begin In New York city
on Oct. is next, and would last at least ten
days, possibly TO Nov. I. The forces OF
Satan will be met at the Battery and the
campaign will be waged through the Bowery,
tho Red Light district, the Tenderloin,
Murray Hill, Harlem and other parts OF
Manhattan Island until the imps OF dark
moss are driven into tho Bronx River or
scattered in the wllds above 1t.
Sanguinary engagements are expected
TO occur In City Hall Park. Madison Square,
Union Square, Herald Square. with cavalry
charges and infantry movements In the
open, while sharpshooters and picket men
will be stationed to deal with any BUSH
whackers that may be concealed In the
Businesses Of Central Park.
The -reincarnated prophet was In
most optimistic mood to-day regarding
the deliverance Of New York. He says
that many victories have been accom-
pished in Chicago, the former stronghold
of the arch enemy that although large re-
endorsements have been gathered in New
York he thinks that complete rout or capt.
ulation is inevitable.
Four thousand. Of the most seasoned
Dowie warriors will start the movement.
Dowie will be the field marshal and will
take the strongest generals from Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and
Boston. The prophet Admitted to-day
that he doubted the wisdom in any way
OF weakening his forces In Boston, but that
he must have soldiers and while some
would be taken from Boston that place
would be left more heavily garrisoned pro-
portionately than any Of the others
Dowie expects to have New York COM
pletely subjugated in q ten or thirteen
days campaign. He reasons that each one
of his 1000 warriors will capture and con-
vey into camp at least 100 Of the sinful New
Workers each day making total Of 100000
from dawn till sunset and 1000. 900 during
the ten days.
As this number somewhat exceeds the
population OF Greater New York, 1t is pos
sible that operations will extend to the
shores of Jersey and that a determined
storming Of the citadel will take place.
Boston will be attacked in numbers after
New York has been reduced. With Chicago
wrested from Carter Harrison and Mayor
Of Dowie's making placed in power. Boston
rescued from false gods, Cincinnati re-
deemed from beer, Tammany obhterated
in New York. Jersey reclaimed from trusts
and Philadelphia told to move on, Dowie
will then sigh for new worlds to conquer.

DIR. HILLS ov TENExENrs.
Great Danger 20 brooklyn IN the Proposed
Amendments.

The Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills spoke
In Plymouth Church. Brooklyn. last night
on the proposed amendments to the Tene-
ment House law. He said:
Bills have been introduced before the
Legislature to sweep away reforms and 10
lega.iz the three-story tenements that have
beer built in direct violation OF the law.
As to the old tenements here In Brooklyn
that have 1885, 900 inside rooms, without
light or ventilation, these dark rooms are
henceforth to be permitted by the law
The proposed law exempts all buildings
that contain less than five families, which
would leave fully 10000 without any pro-
vision as 10 sanitation, ventilation, cellars
or fire escapes.
As to new buildings the proposed law
permits the dark airshaft for inside rooms,
with all the possibility Of the spread OF
tuberculosis and filth diseases. II legalizes
the wooden stairs, the wooden floors and
the wooden partition, making the tene-
ment an ideal deathtrap, perfect from the
viewpoint OF the gridiron for the purpose
of roasting human bodies. 1t also permits
the landlord TO rent cellars for residence
PURPOSES. II leaves the floors above cel-
lars uncemented.
I'VE are proposing to legalize buildings
erected last year in open defiance OF the
existing law and TO do away with reforms
that are being strengthened in other great
cities OF the world. We may also add that
many OF us who are interested in the housing
OF the poor count this backward step moth
ing short Of a calamity for Brooklyn, and
also law that violates the obligations
OF the strong to safeguard the homes of
the weak and poor.
There is one proviso OF the proposed
law that appeals to every citizen Of Brook
Ign. 1t is proposed to leave the law that
safeguards the tenements Of New York.
but to legalize the bad features Of the tene-
ment house for Brooklyn. 1t is said that
landlords will then be able to build tene-
ments that will rent for 81 month. Rents
in New York will be higher. The ignorant
the weak, sometimes the vicious, will come
to Brooklyn as a consequence"
Following DIR. Hollis the Rev. James
Leonard Corning delivered memorial adj
dress on Henry Ward Beecher. II being the
sixteenth anniversary Of his death.
