AN ARDENT DowIEITE.
Why Joseph NJ. BOttOmIey Left Ches-
ter, Pa, For Zion City.

ter, Pa, For Zion City.
Mr. and Mrs Joseph NJ. Bottomley,
ardent disciples of John Alexander
Dowie. leader of the restoration host,
now in New York. recently left Ches-
ter, Pa, for Zion City, where they will
make their future home, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
Mr.. Bottomley, who is blind and
helpless, in an interview said:
YES. we are going back tor Zion, a
place people generally have a mistaken
idea about. We first went to Zion City
when building lots were offered for
sale. When 1 first went there 1 was
in bad shape indeed. All the doctors
told me before going west that L could
not live, and, in fact. l wanted to die.
1 had to be fed and handled like Il
child. Today my general health is as
good as it ever was. 1 eat and sleep
we'll and have not an ache or pain.
This favorable change l attribute to
prayer and the doctrine of DR.. Dowie.
1 hope to have the full use of my lower
limbs in time and have every reason to
believe that my lost sight will return"
Previous to losing his sight Bottom
ley was one of Chester's leading mer-
chants

Gifts For King Mene1e1s.

Consul General Skinner, who recent
ly started for Abyssinia to make a
treaty with King Menelek looking to
the Introduction of American goods in
to his dominions, took with him a large
collection of gifts to be presented to the
king, says the Washington Star.
Among them is a large silver plaque,
upon which is engraved the invitation
of the Louisiana Purchase exposition
to the king to visit the fair next year.
There also is a collection of modern
firearms, which are samples of the best
manufactured in this country. Another
present consists of photographs of diff
ferent scenes and industries in the

EDWARD WIS LATEST FAD.
Training Canaries to Sing by Means
of "Bird Organs"

Training CanarIes to Sing by Means
of "Bird Organs."
King Edwards newest hobby is
training canary birds to sing. He has
had fitted up in Windsor castle large
aviary, to which hundreds of English
canaries have been sent in the last
two months, says the Chicago Tribune.
Here bird trainers from Germany are
busy improving the voice of the Eng
lish canary by means of bird organs"
and the suggestion found in hearing
the better voiced German canary sing.
The birds pass through a regular
course of singing lessons and take from
three to six months to Finish"
The common method of training is
to place the canaries in small cages,
each one separated from the next,
around the wallis of a square room. In
the center of the room will be placed
a bird organ" an instrument some
thing like large musical box, on
which the 'roll'' is played by a man
who sits and turns the handle. Grad
ually the birds begin to copy the notes
until at last they are perfect. Another
form of bird organ is worked by
water running through a series of
small pipes, and in cases where this
is used the note acquired is called the
water bubble note" as opposed to the
nightingale note"
A better arrangement is to replace
the organ with one of the exceptionally
fine singing canaries, who sings gayly
in his cage and raises such a wave of
envy in the breasts of his hearers that
they quickly strive to Guido him. The
note of the Harz mountain rollers is
quite distinctive and unlike that of
any other variety, and this bird is
being used by King Edward to train
his English canaries.

When misty, misty mornings come,
When wild geese low are flying
And down along the reedy marsh
The mallard brakes are crying;
When cattle leave the highest hills
And blackbirds flock together
BY all these signs the hunter knows
Has come good hunting weather.

A Missouri editor was recently
fined five hundred dollars tor con-
tempt Of the state supreme court,
and the incident has occasioned
any amount of comment from
newspapers throughout the coun.
try. Anent the subject the Bos-
ton Herald he's the following SEN
sible comment:
"There is a reverence for au'
thority, and especially judicial au-
thority, that is instirc ctive in the
American people. The departure
Of that reverence, or even its
abatement, would be the most de-.
plorable loss that could beiall the
republic, So deep.seated is this
respect for the bench that men
rarely talk even among themsel-
YES OF unworthy motives controll
Ing decisions
1T will be difficult to preserve
this noble, steadying reverence if
the courts appear to be in league
with the corrupting forces Of
society. We may be sure that il
was no common proyocation and
no single instance that induced
such an impeachment Of the high
court of Missouri. Outbursts of
this kind come only after long re
straint; they are explosions Of
pent up conviction, indignant and
wrathful. No right minded cili
zen can find pleasure in their sig
nifioance
"Courts, like administrations
and legislatures muat expect to
be judged by the character Of their
and the record they
make They have one great ad-
vantage. Patriotic men Of all de-
grees and all political opinions
sincerely desire to exalt them in
and confidence. But this
is an advantage which they can
throw away. Ia all ages and ma
Lions there have been judges with
out virtue and courts without
honor"

There is strong sentiment
among the members Of the Ma.
tional party and those who sup
ported Cookson for chief in the re
cent election to enter contest.
The belief is quite general that
the election Of Rogers and
the Downing ticket was brought
about by methods Of unfairness
and even fraud in many instances.
1t is said that more than one hun
dred Shawnees from Oklahoma
were colonized in the western por-
tion Of the Cherokee nation and
voted at the election. It is further
alleged that the leaders of the
Downing party, including Sam
Mayss, visited the fullbloods and
induced them TO refrain from vot-
ing. thus securing the election Of
their candidates.

LITTLE HINTS ABOUT DRESS.
Fashionable Fancies in Feminine
Finery for the Coming

Season.
The fancy for heavy jet fringe ex-
tends even to millinery, says fash
ion authority.
A becoming revival is the wearing of
long tulle bonnet strings.
White coral is the latest and smart
est touch in the coral line.
Nine-tenths of all the straw hats
shown are either white or ecru.
Bold and dashing are the newest de-
signs of foulards, although dots are
still seen.
A novelty in wraps is coat made
Of strips of ribbon, joined by rows of
forget-me-nots.
The correct short coat is usually
more or less tight-ftting, while the
longer ones are semiftting.
Tailor gowns Of voile, etamine or any
open-weave stuff will far outshine
those Of broadcloth this spring.
The proper blue for the tailor gown
Of wool or the shirt waist suit of fou-
lard is so dark as to be almost black.
A light spray of diamonds makes
a pretty ornament for the hair If
you have not the diamonds, rhine
stones win look as well.
A beautiful and unusual shade Of
led is among the latest dress fabrics.
It has so much white in it that its
effect is not too warm for the sea-
son.
The hip-yoke effect has SO influenced
skirt shapes that the circular founce
Is very much deeper than formerly,
being quite to the knee, often much
above in front and slcping upward
toward the back

The business she continued. is so

The report of the travellers aid de-
