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

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Wearing 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 ds-
sllming Office.
After quoting scripture in support of
the claim he had made to the title OF
first apostle he said;
Il did not create the office. 1t 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"
DIR. Dowie wore a long garment of
heavy white satin, lined with white
silk. Over this was a purple satin
robe, frlnged with kilt, of knee length.
The "broidcred 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.
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:
Il greet you to-day. I thank God
that you are here in thousands, that
there are thousands of others with us

"Ohcers of the church, do you ac-

Of the Lord Jesus Christ to the

and the choir broke forth in
an anthem of rejoicing.

THE TREATY WITH THIBET
Russian Press Agree 1t Amounts
To a British Protectorate.
They Are Not Agreed, However, As
to How II VIII AGect Russia
In the Future.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 20-The Rus
sian press, discussing the Thibetan
treaty with Great Britain, unites in
argeeing that the latter country has
succeeded in establishing a virtual pro-
tectorate over Thibet
The Syet terms the treaty a repet-
tion 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 GHette thinks Great
Britain has succeeded beyond her Wild
est dreams, but conceals yeiled
threat under the inquiry whether the
success can lie lasting AS soon as
Russia's hands are free, the Gazette
predicts that 1t is moro than likely
that the middle east question will be-
come another apple of discord.
The Novosti, on the other hand, con-
tends that British and Russian inter-
ests in Asia are identical, and opposes
tho idea that the treaty will become
a bone of contention, especially as 1t
was concluded with the knowledge and
consent of Russia.

among them because the Republican

and argument why our representation

it must be a work of love for the
