outside its limits. should not buy any
thing but food, and that all expendi-
tures should be confined to the actual
necessaries for daily existence. BY
| a rule of the church il was expected
that all surplus money above the sum
required for actual household ex-
penses by those still in employment
should be turned over TO the acting
general overseer.
Then the low state of lions finances
and resources became still more ap.
parent with the refusal of the heads
of the church to give credit to the
destitute for food or fuel, and the
closing of the candy factory, which,
next to the lace factory. was the lar
gest industry of the community Hun
dreds of girls and women were en-
ployed in the candy factory, and they
were, in many cases, the only bread
winners in their families. Their
wages consisted of credit checks upon
the general stores of the administra-
ton for provisions. With this last re.
source gone, starvation awaits many
families unless some means for relief
speedily is adopted.
There is only small stock of pro-
visions in the general stores. Even
those purchasers who offer the rem
nant of their scanty hoard of cash are
advised to be careful and not to buy
more than pressing need makes i'm,
perative. Chicago has learned only
of these facts through the appeals OF
residents of the place for any kind Oh
employment that will keep body and
soul together. Nearly all of the dis.
tressed suppliants, while pleading for
work, have refused 10 tell of the real
conditions in their community except
to say the factories are temporarily
shut down
The reason for the slender stock in
the storehouses of Zion is found here.
Merchants of Chicago have refused TO
give credit any longer to the COM
munity, and there are no funds ON
hand in the administration wherewith
to make purchases. The scrip of the
church has lost its value even in Zion,
for its worth was dependent upon the
marketable value of the output of the
factories now shut down and idle.
Imagine a thriving manufacturing
village of say New England with it's
factories suddenly shut down, the
beating of its communistic pulse
stopped, as it were, in an instant.
Carrying the idea further, build 9.
wall about this community and leave
| it with its stock of accumulated provi-
sions, food and fuel. cut off from the
outside world, without the power or
the means to buy or import even the
staples of greatest need. These condi-
lions furnish an idea OF lions plight.
With the continued cold weather the
suffering of the Zionists must become
greater and greater.
Unless some measure can be found
quickly by which the factories can re-
sumo work and their product be
marketed outside the place, nothing
but ruin and collapse can be the out
come.

New York Press-Grim want, des'
titution and starvation stalk hand in
hand in Zion City, near Chicago, and
the collapse of the community is
prophesied.
Already all the industries of the
place have shut down. Its inhabitants
are idle, or have fed to this or other
cities TO obtain the means of gaining
their daily bread. The scrip of the
church-the only currency known in
Zion City-can buy little for those
fortunate enough to possess it, for the
community stores, unable to obtain
credit or pay cash, have few supplies
to distribute. Wood and coal are
scarce, and the suffering entailed upon
the wretched people, with the mer-
curry below zero and their homes I'M
warmed in the bleak, biting winds and
deep SHOWS of winter, has found no
alienation.
There is neither money nor the
means to earn it in Zion. City, and the
administration has refused assistance
to those whose extremity drove them
to apply for it. To the penniless-
those without either the coin of the
United States or the scrip of Zion
credit is refused, and it is only ques-
ton of a few days when many Zion
ties must throw themselves on the
charity of the people of the nearby
towns.
Meanwhile, Dowie is in Australia,
on his world-girdling trip, and the &C
counts of his luxurious seclusion and
elegance of attire which have reached
Zion are not calculated to make the
starving, cold and cherries ones at
home more comfortable, contented or
happy.
One remarkable feature of the stu
alton in Zion is the stoicism with
which the people are meeting the tor.
lures they are undergoing. Were it
not for the sufferings of the children
many of the men and women would
not complain, for they seem to bear
privation with the fortitude OF
martyrs.
Officially more secrecy is maintained
regarding the financial affairs of the
community than was the rule even
before Dowie's departure to join his
, wife and his son in Australia. But
things have come to such a pass that
the fact can be hidden no longer. Re.

the audience gives its approval and APP
plause to a favorite actor or scene.
The Japanese actor is almost always
word perfect as to his lines, but IL
he Is not SO the prompter gives him his
lines without any show of disguise.
The spoken words of the drama are
always deliverd in nasal falsetto. To
make up satisfactory Japanese the

introduce a character from each class
and walk of life, and the makeup of
the actors part brings forth cries
and Kisses. Acting. in the Japnese
