DOWIE'S FANATICAL RIVALS
Holy Black Kissers.

THE patriarch leader of Zion City in
Chicago has not the monopoly Of
extraordinary religious practice
and ideas in the United States.
There is a leader in Philadelphia
whose religious views, though differing
from those of the Rev. Mr.. Dowie. are
quite as odd, and though scarcely a
year in operation, have attracted al
most as much attention in the city OF
its birth as the western mans odd
creed has won in the Windy City.
The twentieth century is undOubt-
eddy full OF strange sights but visi-
tors to the Quaker city witnessed what
he thought one Of the strangest when
he was going along one Of the princi-
pal streets in the heart of the business
section.
He saw two colored men meet ard
salute each other with a resounding
kiss, and he stopped, stared, gasped
and wondered what Phiiadelphians
were M to now.
He was used to oddities, for he had
seen many strange people places and
things in the course of his frequent
wanderings over the country. but never
before had he seen anything like this.
He found that it was not a usual
occurrence. for a number of others had
stopped just as he had to find OUT
the cause of this demonstration.
Say mister" said a small boy in
the crowd. did you think you was
girls2"
Similar remarks which followed from
others convinced the visitor in the
Quaker city that not all the city's
inhabitants were gone daft
1t may be an unusual occurrence on
Chestnut street.-the sight of two men
kissing each other-but in another part
of the city IT is 50 ordinary that few
passersby notice the custom. much less
less stop and make remarks about 1t.
In the old fashioned quarter of lower
Philadelphia, in Fitzwater street, where
the elite of the city's society of long
ago days used to live. queer sings now
adorn the houses and pavements and
queer ceremonies are enacted within
some of these houses.
At 1916 Fitzwater street. over a door
way whose posts are weatherbeaten
and blackened with age, and whose
step is worn thin by the tread Of many
feet, there hangs d board which reads,
Saints Of Christ Church of God"
AS his eye travels along the street,
lined with sturdy. respectable. but
much worn old buildings, his eye rests

and that she would soon be Joined by
the twelve apostles and virgins famous
IN Bible history, she vas ridiculed as

who occasionally jump into momentary
notoriety in large cities. But in those

dreds of Brooklyn men and women de-
clared their belief I'm her divinity. Not
a day passes that a dozen Of new mem
bers are not added TO her cult. WO-
men have accepted her faith against
the wishes OF relatives and friends;
men have led their wives to become her
disciples. and even little children have
been received by the femaI Christ.
Within three weeks nine men have
been put forward by this woman as her
apostles" They not only bear the
names Of the apostles OF Christ. but are
advertised as the actual incarnations

The followers this strange creature
gathered around her at first were most
~ taken from the ranks Of Spiritual
lists. TheOsophists. Seventh Day Ad-
yentists and Christian Scientists, but
since then the ranks have become rap
idly filled with men and women Of az
classes, many of them seemingly pos

ace.
AS soon as converts are made they
are separately brought into the pres
ence of Mamma Mysteria. the female
Christ. Peter ushers them in at the
door Of a large frame house at 662
Nostrand avenue, Brooklyn, and in his
presence they remain until the female
Christ is ready to see them.
Mamma Mysteria stands when she re-
ceives her visitors. She is small, but
straight as an arrow. Her black hair
falls in waves over her shoulders. Her
dark eyes are piercing and never for a
moment leave those of her visitors. Al
one moment those wonderful eyes as
sumo the soft expression Of a wounded
doe, and the next them seem to pene-
trate into the Utmost recesses of ones
thoughts. After a single glance she
steps forward and grasps her visitor
by the hand.
From that moment she seems to cast
q hypnotic influence. She hears what
the visitor has to say, her expression
constantly changing. her white teeth
showing in smiles, her eyes lighting up
with the enthusiasm Of the other S

the woman Christ and have become
convinced Many Of them are seized
with an enthusiastic desire to imme-

Array of Counsel in Glass House In
junction cases.
Today had been set for hearing
of the motion of the defendants to
dissolve the injunctlons granted by
Judge Mason retaining the members
of the local glassworkers unions
from interfering in any way with
the Economy Tumbler Company and
the Seneca Glass Company or their
employees.
John K. Coniff, of Wheel ng, was
here to represent the strikers, but
the hearing was postponed on agre-
ment among the counsel. This was
done because some affidayits which
are necessary in the case had not
been prepared.
Thesattorneys argued to exchange
affidavits on November Z, and copies
of pleadings. On the sixteenth, the
motion will be agreed before Judge
Mason, of Fairmont.
In speaking of the postponement
Mr.. Coniff stated that the motion TO
dissolve would rest largely on de
NAL of the facts alleged in the orig
inal bill. They would admit that
the bill in itself is sufficient but
would deny the facts. He further
stated that there was probably one
point of law which would be raised.
The array of counsel on either
side is growing. The companies are
now represented by Chas. A. Good
win, w. Scott Meredith and Judge
Joseph Moreland, John X. Conitf
and Donley and Hatfield represent
the strikers. The crowd in the
court room was somewhat disap-
pointed thus morning when it was
learned that the injunction would
not be argued and would be heaid
at Fairmont.
Donley and Hatfield are busy
taking the affidayits which will be
used in support of the motion to
dissolve the injunction.
