Dowie Gives II Up,

New York-John Alexander Dowie,
self-styled Elijah Ill, has given up, for
the present at least, the conquest of
New York City. Dowie has practical
ly proclaimed his defeat abroad by q
small notice posted at Madison Square
Garden, announcing that all excur.
sions from New York to Zion City
will leave on Monday, Nov. g."
This ends the restorer's New York
campaign one week earlier than was
originally planned. 1t is said that
Dowie will remain scme days after
the "army" leaves, but 70 announce
ment of his intentions as to the meet.
ings announced for next week has
been made.
This departure of Zion's host, leav-
ing New York with its wicked ways
unchecked, is said to mark the most
serious reverse DR.. Dowie has en-
countered since he started to restore
Zion on earth. His wonderful magnet
ism has left New York unstirred; his
dramatic methods have reused ridi-
cule rather than awe. He has made
no converts; he has performed no
cures.
Financially also the invasion has
been a failure. Receipts, 1t is fgured,
have not been enough to pay the mere
ordinary expenses.

0rce as to constitute an effective
blockade, there will be no ground for

Leominster, Mass.--In a panic rusn
to escape the flames which almost
completely ruined the factory OF the
Columbia comb company, four women
employees were injured, and one Of
them will probably die. The injured;
Mrs. Hannah s. Hall. aged 73. pro-
oabiy fatal burns on head and body.
Miss Alphonsine Pinard, aged 18,
badly bruised In jumping from the 3rd
floor. t
Miss Effie Woods, aged 10, burns and
bruises about face and hands.
Mrs. A. D. Kendall, slight burns.
The building, two-story frame
structure, used for the manufacture of
celluloid combs, was damaged to the
extent Of about $4,000. 1t is insured
Tor $4,000.
The fire originated in the attic and
spread SO quickly that the help had to
fee for their lives. Celluloid dust
caused the flames to jump from point
to point with frightful rapidity, and
the whole building being seething
mass in less than 10 minutes after
the fire broke out.
Mrs Hall was at work on the second
floor in the packing room and did not
have time to reach the exit before the
flames overlook her. She was burned
ON the head, face, neck and upper part
Of her body, her injuries being such
that there is little hopes Of her recov-
cry.
Miss Pinard was at work in the attic,
and finding the flames had taken pos
session Of the stairway saved her life
by jumping from a window to the
ground, distance Of rs feet. In
springing through the window she
very badly cut her left hand and also
received body bruises and a severe
shaking up in making the jump.
Two others we're injured, but not Sc
riously, Mrs. Kendall and Miss Effie
Woods both being severely singed by
the flames.
The cause of the fire is attributed to
overheated celluloid in the dryroom in
the attic. The company employed
about 65 hands and was very busy at
the time Of the fire:
Mrs. Kendall, wife Of one of the pro-
prietors, was in the effice on the first
floor, and made her escape from the
building only a moment before the
structure was enveloped in flames.
She received slight burns and suffered
somewhat from the shock.
So rapidly was the building con-
sumed that 1t was a practical loss be-
:ore the firemen could get stream of
water on it.
