The Cxar Has Decided 10 Form a
Second Manchurian Army.
St. Petersburg, Sept 20.-Acting
upon the advice of his military advis-
ers, Emperor Nicholas has decided to
form a second Manchlrian army. 1t
will be formed of the corps which are
being sent to the far east, and Lieut.
Gen. Lnevitch probably will be given
the command of the second army. Gen.
Kuropatkin will become chief of both
armies, but probably without the title
Of ommander-in-chief 1t is this i'm
pending reorganization which seems
to have led to the countless rumors
and reports afoat here of Kuropatkin's
suppression of Viceroy Alexieff as
mmander-in-chief of the army, the
latters resignation, etc., but investiga-
lions indicate that the above is the
real situation.
Alexieff, 1t is said, will continue as
viceroy, and as such he could not be
in title to the commanding
general which would happen if Kuro-
patkin was given the title of COM
Nevertheless, Kuro-
patkin will virtually be in complete,
rlntrammeled control.

The congregations were present to
celebrate the beginning Of the week Of
atonement when two youths near the
entrance of the lower hall got into an

street shouted, Fight"
The cry was taken up and in the up
per hall was mistaken for the cry of

doors and fire escapes.
A detective saw the crowd fighting

of two women apparently about to
drop off the fire escape. He climbed
up to them just in time 70 prevent
their jumping and got them off the
fire escape.
The stairway was damned, the
stronger men fighting their way ovel
women. The officer fought his way uE
the stairs to the door, shouting that
there was no fire and threatening all
manner of violence to those who did
not standstill Immediately.
He could not stop the stampede, but
he checked it for a moment and 1t
came to an end quickly. Somebody
had turned in a fire alarm and the en-
gines were arriving. There had been
eleven fires in the east side district
south of Fourteenth street within an
hour, and some of the fire apparatus !
had to come considerable distance |
Upon the arrival of the apparatus there
was renewed effort to crowd out Of |
he building, but 1t soon subsidized.
The congregation in the lower hall |
'esumed its services after the excite

upper hall did not return.
Fifteen hundred Jews were damned
ogether on two floors of the hall at liz
yanon street later when somebody
ried fire" There was a rush for
kits and several were hurt by being
on. Police reserves stopped

Chicago, Sept 20.-Wearing a rich
robe and inter. mofeled after those Of
ancient Jewish high priest, John Alex
ander Dowie has proclaimed himself
John Alexander. FIRST Apostle OF the
Christian Catholic Church
The announcement was made in the
tabernacle at Zion City, Sunday, where
| 1000 people had assembled.
Dowie referred TO the robes in as
Stunning Office.
After quoting scripture in support of
the claim he had made to the title of
first apostle, he said:
81 did not create the office. II was
created by the Lord, | did not create
it any more than designed these
robes. If you are in doubt as to my
authority to wear them, you will find
them in the twenty-eighth chapter of
Exodus, the pattern given by God to
Moses when the high priesthood was
established"
DR.. Dowie wore long garment of
heavy white satin, lined with white
silk. Over this was a purple satin
robe, fringed with kilt, of knee length.
The ''broidered coat" the richest fea-
ture of the costume was Of white satin
embroidered with geometrical patterns
in purple and gold, the colors of the
church.
The girdle was there with historical
accuracy, but on the breastplate, in
stead of the twelve jewels prescribed
by the Jewish ritual, was embroidered
a scarlet cross edged with gold. Dowie's
headdress consisted of a white silk
mitre, or turban, ornamented with two
purple bands. White silk hose and
white canvas shoes completed the cos
tune
"The office of first apostle is per-
petual," said Dowie, after he had read
several long passages from Scripture.
ut should have been continued. Sue
ressors to the original twelve men were
chosen to the number of nine to fill
vacancies caused by martyrdom or
death. My assumption of the first
apostleship is the final step in the or |
yanization of the church as planned by |
Jesus Christ
In assuming. his new title Dowie said |
70 his followers:
II greet you to-day. | thank God
hat you are here in thousands, that
here are thousands of others with us
IN this great OCCASION Zion restora-
ion host, do you accept John Alexan-
Ter as the first apostle and the high
PRIEST of the church on earth?'
"Yes!" shouted back the members of
he host
Officers of the church, do you &C
ept John Alexander as the first apostle
f the Lord Jesus Christ to the
hurch ?"
"Yes!" shouted back his leaders and
dvisers, and the choir broke forth in
n anthem of rejoicing.
In an impressive demonstration, last
lg through nearly the whole day, the
reatest and most elaborate ceremony
the Zion church was celebrated.

ri.d by Pickford & Black, agents for
several steamship lines. A quantity
Of powder and dynamite, which was
stored in the building where the fire
started, was thrown overheard, but the
flames reached a second lot of explo-
sives, and the score of violent explo-
sions which followed drove the fire.

In the old days Of excitement,
when mining stocks were on the
jump and men became million
aires over one days dabbling, an
incident occurred at the country
residence of James G. Flood, in
Menlo, when a fairly well-to-do
resident found himself without a
home in the short period of Aae
week, relates the San Franchises
Call. The mans name was Hank,
and, being first-class gardener.
ne readily found employment
about the residence oftbe wealthy
owners of mansions. In this way
he was employed at the Flood resi-
dence. Hank was lettering about
the garden one Saturday evening
as the proprietor, in company
with a visitor, was looking over
the stock.
Mr. Flood, who had juststepped
OFT OF the hog corral, casually re-
marked TO his friend that he
would be willing to make a bet
that Con would go up 800 before
Christmas. Hank construed soon"
to moan Consolidated Virginia.
and, taking the tip which he
thought would make him mil.

OF Com going up to $500 it fell to

iamenting his loss he incidentally
mentioned to a friend OF Floods
how he lost his all. Flood. who
was generous to a fault, sent for
Hank and had him repeat his
story. When he learned of his
chance remark about "Con going
up 300 before Christmas" he fairly
shook with laughter and ex.
planned what it meant.

Dog Had Bad Habit of Killing Them,
But Reformed and Became
Foster-Father.

Jack was Il beautiful Irish set
Ter that was devoted 10 his little
mistress, Mary. He had one very
bad habit: He would kill chick
ems. The ranchmen all around
threatened to shoot Jack if they
caught him, and Mary was much
distressed, relates the Chicago
Record Herald.
One rainy day in the early
spring a farm hand brought into
the house number of dear little
chickens, just out of the shell, and
placed them on the hearth before
the fire. The tiny, fluffy waits were
chilled through and through and
their little legs were icy cold.
Mary. like the good little house
wife she was, suddenly conceived
the brilliant idea of filing a bas-
ket with raw cotton, SO as 10 make
the small strangers nice, com
Portable bed, and, without though;
OF leaving them alone, started
briskly upstairs TO the garnet, and
soon returned with a hamper pad
ded with warm, white cotton.
Imagine Der horror. however.
when, upon entering the room. she
discovered Jack lying laziIy in
front OF the fire and not a chicken
In sight.
The little girl was sick with
fright. for she knew they had been
Matched from very expensive eggs
of particular breed and that her
father would scold her for her
earelessness.
Jack" she cried, severely,
what have you done with those
chickens"
Jack merely wagged his tail and
looked at her with one ear cooked.
Mary slowly approached the cul-
prit,' with a deep frown on her
face and continued:
IF you have eaten those chick
ems. your master will have to
shoot you
at this terrible threat the dog
only wagged his tail all the harder
and cooked both ears. Just then
came a faint "peep, peep" from
somewhere near the fire, and the
dog looked knowing.
And where o,ou suppose those
baby chickens were hiding? Be
tween the settlers two great fore
paws. and all up under his soft,
silky hair. Wien his mistress had
left the room, jack evidently
thought they needed care and con-
sidered it his duty TO play nurse
during her absence, 30 he
stretched himself in front of the
fire and gathered the wee, fluffy
balls together under his warm fur,
and nov and again a tiny yellow
head was thrust forth for min
ute, to be withdrawn and tucked
out of sight. Mary concluded that
the basket was not needed just
then, and put ii aside. ;.
