rreasurer's Shortage Brings Ruin.

The defalcations of Elder Frank Oben-
chain, treasurer of Cass county, Indiana
have proved so much more extensive than
first supposed that they now threaten not
only the bankruptcy of a dozen bondsmen,
but the financial ruin of three or four bust
ness firms. They have already caused the
appointment of receiver for the Miskimen
Furnace Company, OF which Obenchain was
treasurer, and runs on three local banks
were only averted by the alacrity with
which the cashiers heaped gold upon the
counters and paid all corners.
Sympathy for Obenchain who was be-
lieved to be the victim of selfish friends
was changed to wrath among the bonds
men when 1t was disclosed that in add
ton to having shortage of $4,000, which
the records show he advanced private firms
and individuals, he had a further shortage
Of $4,000, with which he fed. 1t is be-
lieved the total shortage Is 100000. Bonds
men say Obenchafn began to misappropri.
ate money soon after he took the ofice
four years ago.

THE POPE AND THE MARQUIsE.
Interview at Vatican-Family Differ
ence Cause Of Action.

A Rome cabegram to the New York
World Of Sunday states that the pope has
been making unusual efforts 10 persuade the
Marquise dies Monsters Merinville who was
Miss Mary Gwendolin Caldwell. to recon-
slider her decision to renounce the Catholic
faith. Knowing that the marquise was
still angry about what she considered
Sights that had been put upon her at the
Vatican since the death of Leo XIII and
that she was decidedly touchy. Piuc Y. per-
haps for the first time in history, waived
all the strict ceremonial attending audi
ences and personally invited the marquise
to private conversation in his apart
ments.
The audience took place In the first week
of this month. The marquise was accom-
panied by her aunt, and both ladies drove
to the Vatican, alightng at the Court OF
st. Damascus. By special privilege.
usually enjoyed by cardinals alone, Mrs.
Donnelly and the marquise were requested
to enter the papal elevator instead of
to the popes apartments.
1t would be, no doubt, most interesting to
know what arguments Plus made use
of in order to recOnvert the marquise. but
one thing is certain. and that is that he
was not successful. At the end of the
audience. which lasted nearly half an hour.
both ladies were in tears. and the pope
himself who accompanied them to the
AS a parting gift he presented to the mar
quise a precious rosary and blessing IL be-
fore giving 1t into her hands. said he would
remember her daily in his prayers and that
he had full confidence that God would lis
ten to his entreaties for her physical and
spiritual welfare.
The marQuise. Is well known, led an
unhappy life with her husband. whose fer
vid religious opinions did not influence his
mode of life as potently might have
been expected. This discrepancy between
religious fervor and moral laxity was, 1t
is said by those around her, the first cause
of that doubt which gradually ripened into
a feeling of dislike and finally of open re-
volt against the religion which she had
formerly espoused SO enthusiastically. Ii
was essentially illogical woman's rea-
son; but such as 1t was 1t sufficed to Inn
pei her to the step which has occasioned
such a sensation.
After violent scene with her husband
one day the marqufse sent for a Protestant
clergyman, whose name the correspondent
is not at liberty to divulge, and renowned
Catholicism, returning to the Protestant
faith The scene alluded to was OF go pain
full and violent nature that II induced a
long fainting fit, from which the marquiss
awoke to find herself much weaker.

Chamberlain and Leading Issues.

The big speech on Thursday with which
Joseph Chamberlain signaliZed his return
to work alter long holiday did not show
any fresh development Of his policy Of pro-
lection. 1t was In the main simply forci-
BILE restatement of that policy, but 1t Is evil
dent that the former colonial secretary now
recognizes the inpossibility of carrying the
country on purely protective issue in any,
thing like the near future.
The portion of his speech In which he
dealt forcibly with the necessity. of restrict
ing the immigration of undesirable aliens
was received with far greater enthusiasm
than any Of the rest The stress which Mr..
Chamberlain laid on this point and the
manner in which his hearers received 1t
showed that protection has lost instead of
gained ground in recent months. 1t is plain
that the returning prosperity of the country
has greatly weakened the force of it's APP
peal to large and highly important class
of the electorate.

YOUNG DowIEs WIFE LEAVES
Returns to Her Home Broken in Health
and Spirits


Mrs. Gladstone Dowie (former1v De,
Ho1er) has returned to her home on the
shores of Lake Constance, the Geneva
correspondent of the London Daily Man
reports.
After a five months stay in Zion Citv
she discovered that 1t was her money and
not herself that Gladstone Dowie was In
love with. Her married life was unhappy.
She found herself instead of being wife.
In reality an upper servant. Neglect and
continual hypocrisy opened her eyes to the
true state of affairs. and Dowie's posing
as the restored Elijah was the last straw
She determined to quit Zion City at all
costs. The Dowies at first firmly refused
to let her go, but she threatened to run
away, and finally they gave in. Her
mother sent her money, and, disillusioned,
broken in health and spirit she arrived at
her old home the other day. Her brothers.
who are rich manufacturers in Geneva. are
delighted to see their sister out of the
clutches of the Dowies.
Miss Hofer was converted to Dowieism
by the prophet" at her home in Constance,
on the beautiful and historic lake of that
name, lying on the northeastern border of
Switzerland. She was brought to this
country by the elder Dowie, apd was mar,
ried to Gladstone last summer.
Miss Hofer was considered the richest,
most beautiful girl in her country, her for
tune being estimated at $5.000,000. 1t was
said at the time of the marriage that this
whole sum was TO De turned over TO the
Zion treasury
Just before the marriage it was announced
in a cable dispatch from Geneva to the
World that the young woman's splendid
chateau on the shores of Lake Constance
was In the market, and that her large prop
erty holdings in the town of Constance and
Its environs was to be sold in the shortest
possible time.
Dowie made his capture of Miss Hofer
while touring the continent, and the story
went out as he was bringing her to Zion
City that he intended her as a bride for his
'sunkissed" son, Gladstone. He declared
that no marriage was planned; that the
girl had been sent by her mother to study
at Zion.
