RI. REV. DANIEL o'coNNoR.

The citizenship generally of Clarks
burg IS panied to learn the sad news
that RI. Rev. Mgr. Daniel O'CaaC7,
vicar general OF the Wheeling ,laaey.
rural dean of the Clarlsl aag district
is dead. The message telling IS Nj:

had been decided that tine sI.geon's knife

sprung in the hearts of all his towns
men that he would be spared many year.
yet to round out long career of useful
ness, not only to his church and de
nomination, but to the city, in which Ii,
was a conspicuous and influential citi
zen 50 long. Possibly There has not beer
a death IN many years 50 keenly felt by
the people of Clarksburg, and sadness,
and regret prevail in every home.
In all Clarksburg's history, and Is
peci@lly since the Catholic church passed
to his control more than forty years ago
there has not been sembhncc even Of
that antagonism THAT SO often exists be
tween Catholics and Protestapts. IL
the contrary, there has ever been a feel
ing bordering on good.fellowship, ana
Catholics and Protestants have ever been
at peace with one another. This ha,
been almost entirely due to the pleas.

views Of tthe beloved priest. whose spirit
has just taken its flight to the Great
a0ker. Although Father O'Connor wa
a strict disoiplinarian and unyieMing il
his beliefs, always steadfast and true
he refrained from forcing his views on
those whose religious creed differed from
his own. The spirit of charity was hi
IN unusual degree and he accorded til,
right to all to their opinions beliefs and
doctrines.
In his chosen work he was untiring in
his efforts to promote the interests Of
the church, steadfast in the faith, and
patient beyond degree in overcoming the
many obstacles that it was necessary To
surmolmt to bring the church to its pres
rnt proud summit in its career. As a
minister to his people, die served them
faithfully and well, being u Father not
only by virtue Of his high Office, but
truly one in the guardianship of the spir.

voted was he to his people that he was
Near and dear to them, and they looked
ITO his leadership as shepherd, true.
Clarksburg feels keenly the loss of ont

life was exemplary and worthy OF emu

and best public interests was nnsm,

Not only to the church, but the people
generally, both in Oarksburg and the
state, THE passing Of this good man i,
a matter of grief, and only time will ac-

1t is the prayer OF all that his soul
may be ut peace and THAT his memory
will live for the good of men Throughout

Washington, October 22.-Wiliam H. Landvoigt, chief of the classification di- vision of the postoffice department, to- day presented his resignation to Post master General Payne. The resignation was requested by MT. Payne as a result of the investigation by the inspectors or charges growing out of the employment of MT. Landvoigts son in the General Manifolding company of Franklin, Pa, which had a contract for supplying pat ented registry books to the department. Mir I,andvoigt was chief of the registry division of the department prior to his comparatively recent transfer to take charge of the classification work of the department
 Mr Landvoight prepared his resignation this morning and presented 1t to the post master general in person. 1t was brler and merely called attention to the fact that the only criticism of him was the employment of his son Arnold with the company. It was made to take effect at inc pleasure of the postmaster general. MT. Payne expressed his regret at the necessity of the action, but stated that the employment of the son with the com pany involved a principle which must be enforced Mir. Landvoigt has been in the nostal service about twenty-nine years. He went to New York some years ago and reorganized the registry service of that cf

BISHOP GAILORNNSISTS
 ON AN AMERICAN CHURCH
He Says Episcopal Church is Not the Church of the Middle Ages Nor the Church of England and Importing
 of Practices is Bad Mistake.

of pittsburg and the bishop of Niagara discussed Points of difference and their explanation"
 Of the development of a distinetively American church, Bishop Gailor said
 We ought to emphazie the fact that this church Is not the church of the mid dle ages, nor the church of England, but an American church. The problems we have to solve and the difficulties we have to encounter are in a peculiar sense our own
 Importing Is Mistake.
 For us to import into this church the manners and customs, the prejudices and practices of the established church of England, seems to be a mistake. Roman ism has tried in vain to be Roman in the United States and Is now attempting to convince people that 1t is the American Catholic church. No body of Christians ever had the splendid opportunity that we have to demonstrate that "Catholeity' does not mean Roman, and that Amer ican" isno synonymous with class indi- vidualism, but we shall not do it as a branch of the church of England, only as American church.
 Bishop Gailor urged the encouragement of contract and sympathy between the Episcopal church and the other protestant churches by the maintenance or our Am erican spirit and American indepedence in custom and worship, and government.
 The bishop declared to recognize these difficulties of rational and national pro- gress, and to disparge or ignore them, he said, is to "try to be more Catholic than God"
 A committee of bishops has been ap- pointed to consider and to report to the conference upon the expediency and prac- ticabiity of putting into effect both Gail ors suggestions.

His Followers Are Tired of TrY- ing to Reform New York
it WANTS ID CONVERT POPE
During His Sermon Yesterday the Zion Leader Said His Son Had Never Kissed a Woman Out
 side the Family.

New York. October 22.-Two hundred of the followers of John Alexander Dowie indicated that they were tired of the work of reforming New York city, and wanted to return to Zion City, when the general overseers invited all who wanted to give up the work and give others a chance to take it up to step forward at the early meeting at Madison Square gar den today.
 Dowie at that meeting said he should endeavor to convert the pope He added that he had received many bogus checks since coming to New York but that others had been good
 There Is no need for followers to rush back to Zion," said he. 'because of those suits by merchants of Chicago. They are against me personally and not against Zion"
 His Son Not kisser.
 Turning his attention to kissing, Dowie said people should be careful of their kisses and use them carefully in the fam fly. Why my son Gladstone never kissed woman outside the family"
 William Brady the theatrical manager who with Lorenzo Winter was arrested and charged with dsorderly conduct in the crowd about Dowies meeting in Mad ison Square garden last night was dis charged in police court today. Mr Winter was paroled to give him an opportunity to bring witnesses to testify to the bru- talty and bad judgment of the police.
 A great crowd filled Madison Square garden tonight at the Dowie services, and a still greater crowed massed outside the building. Two hundred and fifty police were gathered there to keep order but tonight their services were Title required.
 The subject of MT. Dowie's address was 'stf claims of Christ as universal king.n
 consumn,atlon of the Age.
 The contamination of the age is rapidly approaching" he said. "and my mission is to tell you that the great and terrible day of the Lord is very near. God has never given up the government of his own world What a farce to suppose that God, the creator, the sustainer, has re- linquished his control. To whom? Oh, in America to the voter. No! There is but one form of government acceptable to 1SN' anu eiiit ID lhSOtidllc government Failures of men to understand the sim pie laws of God have been the cause of all human misery"
 He recited a number of lines of verse, and spoke prayer which his followers repeated after him, a few words at a time.
 T desire to say that admission here after will be made by tickets until a quarter after seven," he said after prayer had done.
 After that hour the public will be admitted if there are vacant seats. I de- sire to say there will be no charge for the tickets They will be given freely. our programme will be given freely If you wish to give, you may give freely"
 Here the audience arose and began to leave, and brief benediction was spoken.

MILITARY PRESENTS
 GRAND SPECTACLE
THIRTEEN THOUSAND MEN IN MIMIC BATTLE PRESENT AN IM- POSING SCENE NOT OFTEN WIT MESSED IN THIS COUNTRY.

Fort Riley, Kan, October 22.-As a spectacle to gaze upon, the military man euvers today would be difficult to sur pass, but in point of dramatic action, they amounted to very little. The entire force in camp was formed into a division under the command of Brigadier General Grant and ordered to deploy in line of battle to protect Fort Riley against an imaginary enemy, advancing to attack 1t. Thirteen thousand men moving into bat tie at one time, and nearly every man in plain view, is something that can not often be seen in this country.
 On the deadly practical side the posting of the men on points of vantage was con- sidered well done by the umpires and the days work was therefore a dis tinguished success all around.
 The American system of placing a line of battle in the hollows and leaving the high ground comparatively undefended was something of a surprise to Colonel Foster, the English military attachec.
 T should have placed greater strength on the hills" he said.
 Col. Stroyer of the Fourth cavalry, pointed out that the American idea was to shelter the men as much as possible in the low ground, where the scene of operations was as destitute of natural cover as in the ground at Fort Riley. Lieut.. Col Arthur L. Wagner acknowl- edged to be one of the leading military strategists in the world. lectured tonight to all the brigade and staff officers of the division. including Gen. Ian Hamilton of the British army who arrived late this evening. Col. Wagner's lecture was in chief as follows:
 "The principles of strategy are simple, depending essentially on the two plain facts that an army must be constantly kept supplied with food, clothing, medi- cal supplies and ammunition, and that a superior force must be concentrated on the vital point"
