DOWIE SLOPS OVER
Admits He Is In New York After
the Money.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-When Mr..
Dowie opened his night meeting in
Madison Square Garden, he faced an
immense throng; when he closed it his
audience had dwindled to only a few
hundred persons besides the host he
brought with him from the West. He
fretted, fumed, threatened, cajoled. and
finally resorted to the use of epithets,
his hearers meanwhile leaving the
meeting, several hundred together,
drowning the sound of his voice. His
talk, which was interspersed with
several hymns, at times when the
tramp of those leaving the han was
more han his voice could overcome,
was devoted chiefly to denunciation of
tobacco smokers, liquor drinkers and
newspaper men, all of whom he classed
as dirty dogs" and dirty BIRDS"
Several times the audience Kissed
Mr.. DoWie. After one such demonstra-
iton, he shouted:
We come here, and we get your i'm
pudence, but l will get your hearts, and
then I will get your pocketbooks.
There is nothing so joyful as spend
Ing money for the Lord" he continued.
'They say I came to New York for
money. don't deny the soft impeach-
ment." - - H4.''.
He said the story that his wife lost
a $1,000 diamond pin was untrue, as
she never owned a pin like that, nor
had she lost anything. The tales
printed about his people being hungry
were all lies, he said. He had licked
the press of Chicago, he shouted, and
he would lick" the press of New York.
He would lick these 'vultures."
After attending an early SER

from Wall street. Pray for me-"
The majority of the audience at the
No robes were worn. DR.. DoWie

full Gate of Divine Healing
In his address at the noon meeting,
