strike unless the railroads accede to
their demand for a readjustment of ths

the sentiment appears to be favorabIe

DOWIE MEANS TO
INVADE NEW YORK

Chicago. Feb. 3.-Thc Chronicle says
that John Alexander Dowie is about TO
lead restoration army in religious
crusade against New York. A follow
ing of "the faithful" 1900 strong has
been recruited and when the trumpet
is sounded by Elijah H." the Zionites
will take up the march in the quest OF
100, 900 converts
The new movement Is the most ex-
tensive planned by the Zion leader. II
calls for the establishment of Zion
City in the East similar to the settle
ment near Waukegan. ENJOYS have
been In New York for months labori-
ously planning the campaign and yes
terday word was received by Dowie
that an option had been obtained on
Madison Square Garden and Carnegie
Music hall and that all was in readi-
ness for the exodus from Chicago.
The restoration host has been gath
cred from members OF the church in
Chicago and II is to be reinforced by
the Zion seventies" phalanxes of
Dowieites that are closely connected
with the colony.
The surpllced choir, the robes, the
rich vestments and the other insignia
of the prophet are ready for the move
ment and at meeting held at the
tabernacle in Zion city last night tho
general overseer announced that the
invasion of the East would be ripe In
n short time.
"One hundred thousand souls" will
be tho rallying cry of the crusade. for
Dowie has fixed that as the minimum
of conversions. Daily meetings are TO
be held by the members of the cult
until the whole of New York is brought
under the spell of a revival. The fire
Is to be directed against every class,
curbstone services being counted on as
the most potent method of spreading
tho tenets of Dowieism. Elijah IL
announced to his workers last night
that n permit had been obtained from
Mayor Low to hold 1.S00 open-air
meetings on the streets each day.

with two Calling guns, were called TO
Waterbury to-day at the command OF
Governor Chamberlain because of the
imperative need occasioned by the
trolley strike situation. The riot about
the streets last night. coupled with
threats OF further disturbances to-
night, led to the call for troops.
There was no repetition to-day OF
the violence OF last night. but crowds
congregated about the streets and had
to be dispersed by the police. while
there were rumors of an attack to be
made tonight from the barn, where
the non-unlon motormen and conduc-
tors brought here by the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Company are
quartered.
During the day all the lines were op-
Grated as usual with the non-union
trolleymen. but though there was some
jeering from the. crowds the ears were
not molested. No cars were run after
dark.

DEAR MEAT DOES
NOT AID FARMERS

Washington, Feb. LIN discussing
the continued high price of beef, to-
day. Col j. H. Bingham. assistant
secretary of agriculture. said:
with cattle selling at the present
low prices, meat ought to be from
twenty-five to forty per cent. less than
now asked by retail dealers. 1t is all
nonsense to say that the worlds popu-
iation has grown far ahead of its avail
able meat supply. If the farmers are
assured of reasonable prices for their
cattle, they will supply all that the
consumers demand, without the slight
st doubt whatever If necessary, the
meat supply in this country can be
doubled and II would be a great ad-
vantage to the farmers IL the grain and
feed raised were put into cattle, hogs
and sheep.
.'If the consumer could buy meat at
prices that would correspond with the
price paid the farmer for his cattle and
sheep, 1t would induce liberal buying,
and the consumption of meats would
undoubtedly be materially increased
and farmers would be induced to in
crease their herds.
THE claim that this drifting OF pop
ulation to the cities has almost dou-
bled the price per head of cattle in two
years is an obvious absurdity. Ac-
cording to statistics the price of good
to choice steers in the Chicago market
In December. 1901, was $3.50 to 81,
whereas last December In the same
market price for the same grade OF
cattle was s5.G5 to $3.50.

from Eaton. Troutville, Roggen. Big

their various districts at o'clock this
morning, working in a circle until
noon, when all met at a designated
point nine miles south OF Kersey. High
wind prevailed during the day. which
interfered somewhat with the success
OF the hunt, as only six coyotes were
counted as trophies Of the chase.

there was great excitement among
those who witnessed the departure. but
no outbreak.

In England In 1914 undertakers were
men of influence who undertook for a
consideration to get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive TO the royal will Of King
James /. The three chief undertakers
OF 1914 were Lords Bacon, Somerset
and Neville. They undertook 70 bribe
the chief speakers and men OF infiu.
ence in parliament that year over to
the side OF the king, with but partial
success. Then there were undertakers
In Ireland in 1908. They were English
and Scotch colonists sent TO north Ire
land and were each allotted 1000 acres
OF land. They were men Of capital and
undertook TO pay a mark n year for
every six acres AMI to admit no recu.
SAINT for tenants. Hence the name as
applied 20 them. But neither the his.
tories nor the dictionaries give any rea-
son for calling the men who bury our

Heretofore the boys have been meeting
at the city hall. and Monday and Fri.
day nights are their regular practice

Of trouble by coming in contact with
other bodies that also meet there.
Il seems that whenever a body OF
men wish 10 have a meeting they call
II for the city hall. regardless Of any
other organization shat may have al.
ready made arrangements to meet
there
For instance tonight regular prac-
tice night Of the band. the Sweaters
have called a meeting at the city hall.
We know that the Sweaters were not
thinking Of any other meeting being
called at the city hall. and we don't
believe there is a Sweater in town who
would throw a stumbling block In the
band boys way
Some Of the band boys have already
gone to the expense Of buying expen-
siye instruments, costing from s65 to

Ing similar purchases, but we are re-
liably informed that until the Chamber
OF Commerce settles the matter about

to meet, that everything will stand in
