SEEING THINGS At NIGHT
Our Naval Gunners Are Now En-.
gagged in Night Firing Practice.
One of Our BattleshiDs said to Have
Achieved some Surprising Re-
suits In MenamsIla Blight.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Remarkable
results have already been obtained in
the naval target practice now going on
in Menemsha blight. The vessels of
the North Atlantic squadron in last
springs target practice broke all the
worlds records for rapidity and accu-
racy of fire, both with big and little
guns. But this was daylight work
under favorable conditions for good
shooting. The big ships are now do.
ing some extraordinary night shooting.
The experience of the Russian-J Japan
ese war has convinced the general
board that in the future great naval
battles may be fought at night, and
it is certain that most of the torpedo
work will be done in the hours of
darkness. Hence, it is believed to be
essential to develop the gun pointers
in night work. and already surprising
results have been obtained in the
practice in the blight. Using her eight
inch guns, one of the battleships made
eight hits out of nine shots at night.
The target, distant about mile, was
Illuminated by searchlight, and the
gunners used special night sight.
The ship from which this shooting was
done was forging ahead in the open
sea at ten knots.

DOWIE IS TIRED
POSING AS ELIJAH
Now Declares Himself First Apostle
of Christian Catholic Church.
ARRAYED IN GORGEOUS ROBES
Quoted Scripture in Support of I4is
Claim, and Declared His Robes,
Were Patterned After
Those of Moses.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Wearing a rich
robe and inter, modelled 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
summing office.
After quoting scripture in support of
tho claim he had made to the title of
first apostle, he said:
81 did not create the Office. 1t was
created by the Lord. l 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-eiglhth 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 purple satin
robe, fringed with kilt, of knee length.
The "broidered@ boat" 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 breastpIate, in
stead of the twelve jewels prescribed
by the Jewish ritual, was embroidered
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.
"rhe Office of first apostle is per-
petual," said Dowie, after he had read
several long passages from Scripture.
at should have been continued. Sue
cessors 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
ganization of the church as planned by
Jesus Christ
In assuming his new title Dowie said
to his followers:
81 greet you to-day. thank God
that you are here in thousands, that
there are thousands of others with us
on this great OCCASION Zion restora-
ton host, do you accept John Alexan-
der as the first apostle and the high
priest of the church on earth?"
"Yes!" shouted back the members of
the host.
Officers of the church, do you ac-
cept John Alexander as the first apostle
of the Lord Jesus Christ to the
church,"
"Yes!" shouted back his leaders and
advisers, and the choir broke forth in
an anthem of rejoicing.
In an impressive demonstration, last
ing through nearly the whole day, the
greatest and most elaborate ceremony
of the Zion church was celebrated.

BATTLE WITH HOLD-UP MEN
Two Men Killed and Another In
jured at Riverside, III.
BY Robbers.

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Two men were
killed and another shot and seriously
injured in battle with hold-up men
at Riverside, small town on the IL
lnois Central railroad, Is miles south
of Chicago, Monday night. Two rob-
bers broke into the section house,
which was occupied by several Italian
laIborers and the railroad men who
had retired for the night, and ordered
them to produce what money they had
in their possession. Instead of COM
plying with the demand, the Italians
rushed on the robbers and tried to
overpower them. In the fight that fol-
lowed, revolvers and knives were used,
with the result that two of the Italians
were killed and another severely i'm
jured.
Seeing that they were getting the
worst of the fight, the other occupants
of the section house fled from the place
and left the robbers in full possession.
The two hold-up men then secured all
the money which the men had secreted
about the place and made their es-
cape.

GREAT THINKERS
IN CONVENTION.
international Congress Of Arts and

FOR INTERCHANGE OFIHOUGHT
Many Prominent Men From Every
Cline are In Attendance--MaRy

Spoken.


st. Louis, Sept. 20.-Monday marked
The opening at the Worlds fair Of what
is conceded to be the greatest congress
Of learned men that has assembled in
one place at any time since the world
began. This congress is to continue
throughout the week, and on each sue
ceeding day it is expected that adda-
lions will be made to the already long
list Of leaders in world thought and
progress who are in the city. Neces-
-arily the congress is international in
membership, and its scope covers every
thing in the great field of arts and sci
encs.
The meeting, Monday, was held at
three O'Clock in the afternoon in Fes-
tival hall, and, while there was not
large number of visitors present, the

bly, filed the hall. The attendance was
between 1900 and 1000 people, the
greater portion of the audience being
men. The addresses of the afternoon
were made by delegates from all parts
Of the civilized world, and applauded
by representatives of all of the great
Christian nations. Four languages
were spoken in the course Of the rem
dition of the programme, and, strange
to say, the one of these which was
least understood was the one which
was received with greatest enthusiasm.
On the platform was a very distin-
guished body of men. Among them was
Simon Newcomb, president of the con-
gress; Sir William Ramsay, of London;
M. CASTOR Darboux, of France; DR..

THE TREATY WITH Tibet

st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-The Rus
sian press, discussing the Thfbetan
treaty with Great Britain. unites in
argeeing that the latter country has
succeeded in estabY lshing virtual pro-
tectorate over Thibet.
The Svet terms the treaty a repeti-
ton of the fable of the wolf and the
lamb, and expresses the belief that the
success of the British expedition will
shake Russian prestige among the
Buddhist subjects of Russia.
The Bourse Gazette thinks Great
Britain has succeeded beyond her Wild
est dreams, but conceaIs a yelled
threat under fihe inquiry whether the
success can be lasting. AS soon as
Russias hands are free, the Gazette
predicts that it is more than lRkely
that the middle easE question will be-
come another apple of discord.
The Novosti, on the other hand, con-
tends that British ard Russian inter
ests in Asia are identical, and opposes
the idea that the treaty will become
a bone of contention, especially as it
was concluded with the knowledge and
consent of Russia.
