Paris Letter.

suddenly she rushed back in all excitement

STONE CHRIST SAT UPON
DIR. II. j. VILLERs SHOWS A RARE
PICTURE TO HIS CONGREGATION.
Curios and Slides Collected i'm Holy

ice-Debt Is Raised.

Rev. Thomas ]. Villers, pastor Of the
First Baptist Church, yesterday morning
delivered a sermon on Giving to his con-
gregation. After the sermon Henry Eitel,
president of the board of trustees, made
a strong appeal to the congregation. ask
ing the members to contribute money with
which to pay for the repairs on the church
during the summer months. The organ
was completely overhauled at a cost Of
$1,000, but the board of trustees allowed
the contractor to take certain old pieces of
the organ part pay and reduced the act
ual expense to $500. The walls and ceiling
of the church were newly decorated and
the ladies of the congregation have already
expended about 5000 for having the carpet
taken up and dyed and the cushions of the
pews renovated A collection was taken
up at the morning service, which, added to
the amount that some of the members have
pledged thmselves to contribute, will pay
the outstanding debts.
The pastor of the church began his series
of stereopticon lectures on Palestine last
night. His trip last night took the congre-
CATION from Mount CGrmel to Galilee. DR..
Villers, in company with M. A. Potter, c..
s. Dearborn and Roy A Vanderman, trav-
eled through the Holy Land for three
his travels DR.. Villers has collected many
curiosities and 200 slides, some Of which are
not duplicated any place in the world.
Among these is picture of the curbstone
at Jacobs well, upon which Christ sat.
This slide was made from postal card
which DIR. Villers bought in the Holy Land.
A lecture will be delivered each Sunday
night, taking the congregation over a GER
tain section of the Holy Land, until the
whole territory over which DR.. Villers and
his party travelled has been covered.

The invocation was followed by the hymn,

read from the gospel of st. Mark the first
chapter and the first fifteen verses.
DR.. Dowie made a long prayer, at the
close of which many hundreds of persons
strated with those who were leaving, and
asked them to do him the courtesy of re-
naming until the end of the meeting. The
subject of the discourse was Repent
ance," and DR.. Dowie's text was from
scriptural passages having reference to the
teaching and the promised coming of
Elijah
In these three passages" said the
preacher. we have the great and mighty
records of the appearance of Elijah and
the promise that he shall come again
Where is the common honesty of modern
theologians in not admitting this fact.
What theologian who is worth his salt has
denied the fact that Elijah must come
again? 1 say to the Protestant theolog-
ians of New York, Dig up your COM
mentaries and annotations of the gospel,
look everywhere you can, and you will find
that all the authorities agree that Elijah
must come again before Christ comes
again. No matter whether / am Elijah or
not Elijah must come again. He has come
once as a mighty destroyer, when he called
down the fire of Mount Carmel. He came
again as John the Baptist, and once more
must he come, according to the promise of
God, before the great and terrible day of
Jehovah. Elijah triumphed once" he
cried. God grant he may triumph again"
Amen, amen," came from all over the
house.
The general overseer asked every one
who wished to repent and be saved to rise,
and many responded. The meeting closed
with hymn, benediction and the shouts
of Peace be unto YOU and Peace unto
YOU be multiplied"

CATTLE in THE SOUTHWEST.
The Day of the Range steer Thought
to BE About Over.

hallSdS lily JOufHdl
II predict that within very few years
the live stock industry of the great South
west, as Ii is now known, viii be a thing
of the past / believe that the day of the
range steer in Texas is about over" This
was the opinion expressed yesterday by :.
G.. Darden, Of the Altizer Cattle Company,
of Jerico, Tex, who was at the Hotel Bal
timore
"Stockmen are moving their cattle TO the
Northwest, the Dakotas and the British
possessions by trainloads Our company
has already shipped sixteen trainloads and
other cattlemen have done about the same.
The cause of this Is that Texas as a
range country is no longer able TO care
for the herds that once covered Its vast
sections of school land all about the little
station of Jerico. We had about 1900 cat
tie all the time. Under this arrangement
we could make money. But only few
months ago the Rock Islands Chocfaw
line came to Jerico and then a develop
ment began which has been wonderful and
ruinous to range people. The Rock Island
company sank wells on the land we gave IL
and erected a $4,000 water plant. Then
the road began bringing settlers In by the
hundreds Why, IL made rate OF so for
train came in loaded down with home
seekers. There were not enough wagons
to take them about the country.
LAS we had leased the school land SUBJ
ject TO sale at any time" continued Mr..
Darden, the State began selling section
upon section of our leased land. The trou-
bic was that the sections tnat were SOLO
were scattered all about In our leased tract
and we were not only obliged TO give up
the land, but had to fence each tract sold
and ride the fence TO see that none Of our
stock got into the sold sections. This was
very expensive. Our land was swiftly en-
croached upon and became less and less
adequate for range. The little town OF
Jerico. which only last spring was only
a whistling station Is now growing rap
idly and a Sunday school established there
a few weeks ago had an attendance OF
forty youngsters, all OF whom were chill
dren of recent settlers. This il a great
thing for the State Of Texas and for the
Southwest and Kansas City. but IL Is fatal
to the range man. You can't Craze cat
tie on s. an acre land and we would have
had to pay that if we had bought the
school land. Texas isn't what IL was
twenty years ago. when went to Jerico."

Leroy Fields. twelve-year-old lad, yes
terday arrived in this city from Terre
Haute, en- route to Pittsburg. Pa, where
he will become an inmate of the Newsboys'
Home. Young Fields has lived with his
father in st. Louis, but his parent recently
decided that he could not support the boy
and left him on his own resources. An APP
plication was made for the boys admission
to the Newsboys' Home, as he is an invalid
and is unable to support himself by selling
papers. The police department of st. Louis
sent the boy to Terre Haute, defraying the
expenses of his transportation as far as
that city and from there he was sent here.
The department here will secure passage to
Pittsburg for the lad, and life thereafter
will be easy for him compared to his trou-
bles Of the past.

New York Evening Post.
The pretty fashion of cutting children's
dresses low in the neck with a white lawn
guimpe is a favorite one this fall. The
gowns have half sleeves which show the
white lawn sleeves of the guimpe. There is
a double advantage in this fashion. Not
only is Ii extremely becoming, but 1t en-
ables a child to make a heater appearance
since the sleeves OF the gown are protected
from the dust and soil of school desks The
guimpes are so inexpensive that they may
be changed once a day or oftener, If neces-
sary. Scotch plaids are used for girls
school dresses In preference to almost any
other material. The variety of color allows
a wide choice. Plaid gowns should be
trimmed with velvet bands or with plain
cloth to relieve the monotony of the re-
peated pattern. and when the plaid is not
especially becoming near the face there
should be a yoke of the plain cloth, unless
the gown is worn with a guimpe as de-
scribed.

broken blood vessel in his left eye received
last night while performing friendly act

2525 East Eighteenth street. Crabtree
found Lackren lying drunk in the street

intention of helping him home. Lackren
could not see it in that light. however, and
hit the officer a terrific blow in the left eye
with his fist. Patrolman Crabtree was not
looking for this action and was unprepared
to defend himself, but few moments later
Crabtree had his assailant by the collar
and placed him in the patrol wagon, send

CRUSADE INCIDENTS.
A Young Woman, n Fat Man and a
Cigarette-DOwie's Troubles.

The New York Sun related the following
incidents of Dowies first day In New York
and of the bearing OF the Restoration
Host"
FAT MANS CIGARETTE.
1t was quite apparent from the bearing
and action of all of Dowies Host as they
passed through the streets yesterday that
they recognized the undoubted fact that
New York is not like Zion.
A pleasant young woman with soft black
hair walked up to a fat man at the Battery
who was looking at a trainload of arriving
Restorers and said TO him with winning
seriousness:
Twill you let me have your cigarette?"
He blanched a little, took the cigarette
from his lips and studied 1t and then
handed 1t over to her with foolish grin.
Perhaps he expected her to use it to light
another cigarette: He looked as though
he had some such notion. But she flung
1t into gutter.
Peace be with you, brother." she said
smiling sweetly. as she swung herself
aboard a trolley car at the Battery loop
with a true Chicago nonchalance
well, I'll be damned!' murmured the
fat man, looking first at the smoking
cigarette and then at the disappearing
car.
Undoubtedly you will be damned" said
Dowieite with faded brown whiskers and
silk hat looking at him mournfully
''unless you reform your profane speech
Peace be with you, brother!
The fat man fled To one of the Battery
saloons. The Restorers went on their way
They cared not, so long as they passed the

from under the platform. call Lulu
whats the matter with Lulu?" asked
Dowie.
s'Her brother is here" answered the elder.
HE hasn't seen her for two years.
I'm glad Lulu isn't lost, shouted back
Dowie, jovially. Then he howled for Lulu
until he found her and got her up to the
platform.
Are you Lulu Grimes? Well. there's
your brother. Now, give him good Grimy

ment as the two young people fell into
each others arms.
TALKED WITH REPORTERS.
Dowie told the reporters of his troubles
from his prosecutors. and his face began
to work and his voice shook. He did not
stop talking, but tears rolled down his
cheeks into his white whiskers in a con-
tinuous cascade. and though he mopped his
bald head frequently he made no attempt
to prevent the wetting of the whiskers.
He went to say that he did not fear
ridicule. but that il was foolish TO ridicule
one who was doing his best TO carry out
the prophetic work with which the Lord
had endowed him.
he had slapped his son for saying damn"
at a baseball game. The very recital OF
this story moved him TO more tears. He
said that he and his son were go miles
from Chicago playing croquet at the mo-
ment the baseball game was supposed to
be going on at Zion City
Dowie wouldn't tell what he expected
TO accomplish in the way of healing. He
said that matter wouid speak for itself.
He said that his people spoke almost every
language of the globe and that they would
be assigned to the parts of the city where
their accomplishments would be most
useful

that the people who come into Zion in the
next two years will bring s50,000,00o into

Are you going to found a new Zion
here?
i've been asked to-" he said. but
don't know. But I'll tell you one thing.
Zion is the best investment in the world.
That's true!'
Dowie laughed He looked down, per-
haps unconsciously, at that prosperously
protruding abdomen. He reached out
and patted his wife's cheeks as she sat be-
side him.
Then he called the detachment of the
guard which was attending his person and
was escorted to his carriage. He went
back to the Plaza Hotel, lunched, and at
tended to his correspondence.
