Chicago, Sept. 20.-Some of the lead
ers Of the new regime in Zion City, led
by Voliva, who won an overwhelming
victory at the polls by 1905 to 6. urged
today the wisdom of conceding publicly
that Dowie, despite his overthrow, IS
still the prophet Elijah. From secret
sources it was learned. that these lead
ers have come to the conclusion that to
knock out such prop as this idea from
under the Zion religion would serve to
cause distrust in all other contentious
of the cult.

WANTS BEER SIGNS REMOVED
Christian Endeavor Union Says
They Are Disgrace to Capital.
Demand Commissioners Order Two
Electrical Displays Taken Down.
Machete Out for "BoOze Drops"

The Christian Endeavor of the Dis
trict Of Columbia has sounded a cry
to arms against conspicuous beer and
whisky sign advertisements. which are
to be seen in so many places in our
city"
At the meeting Of the District union
this matter was taken UP, and a resolu-
ton was adopted declaring. especially
do we regard the electric beer signs on
top OF the buildings opposite the Land
Office and at Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventh street as disgrace 10 the Ma
tional Capital. and we earnestly re-
quest the District Commissioners to
take such action as will result in the
removal Of these offensive signs"
The union then instructed its officers
to lay this request before the Commits
sioners.
The union also unsheathed its machete
and dealt the "booze-drops" habit a
blow as follows.
Resolved. That we consider the sale
Of the sO-called booze drops or candy
containing liquor. 10 school children
as a most dangerous accessory to the
liquor traffic in its work Of debauching
the youth of the community"
The union urges as matter OF
extreme and immediate Importance"
that necessary steps be taken. either
by the enforcement of the pure-food
law as soon as II goes into effect. or bv
the enactment OF new legislation IL
necessary. Ito prohibit absolutely the
sale Of candies containing liquor in the
District Of Columbia"

WILL SEND FOR THEM
Public Printer Writes Con
greSsmen Queer Letter.
RECEIVING HOURS LIMITED
Senator'S and Representatives Re-
ceive "A Singular Notification and
Visit the Government Printing Of
ace-CnrrIages, if They Wish.

Coming at a time when there is a
persistent disposition to criticise the
methods OF the Government Printing
Office Il letter sent yesterday by Public
Printer stillings TO a number Of Sena-
tors and Members Of the House has
created no little commotion.
Many who received the letter were
disposed to be angered by it. They
said it's tone was rather too lofty for
an official who, a few years ago. was
regarded as more completely the serv-
ant Of Congress than any other in the
public service. Mr.. Stillings informed
the Senators and Members that ne has
limited the hours when the general
public may call on him, but to them he
has made an exception. and they will
be welcome at any hour that suits their
convenience.
Rut this, perhaps. did not arouse
quite as much resentment as the
further overture on Mr.. StiIlings
part, in which he announced that
if each Of the Senators and Members
who were so welcome to come and see
him would take the trouble 20 let him
know in advance he would send one Of
the office carriages for him, and when
his call was done would take him home
or anywhere else that he might want
TO go.

FOR INDIANA'S FAME.
An Argument for Gen. WalIace's
statue to Be Placed in Capitol.

There is a pretty big controversy on
over the question as TO whose statue,
of all the distinguished sons Of In
diana, shall be placed in the National
Capitol alongside that of Oliver P.
Morton. the distinguished war COVER
nor of Indiana. Some Indianians think
that former Vice President Hendricks
is entitled to the niche; others claim
that no resident of Indiana conferred
more fame on the State than Gen. Rem
iamin Harrison, while there is a strong
feeling throughout the State that Gen.
Lew Wallace the veteran of two wars,
and a distinguished author is, by
virtue Of his reputation. entitled to
cOmmemOratiOn by a statue.
Among those who would claim the
honor for Gen. Wallace, the author of
'Ben Hur," is the Washington poet,
Esmeralda Boyle, who adds to the con-
troversy the poetical effusion entitled:
A WORD FOR LEW WALLACE.
The pages Of Ben Hur to us unfold
A story, shining as with Orient gold

The princey poem Of the Sharon Rose.

Revealing Nature through the Gates Of Art:
The Jordan; and the Saviour standing there;
The Spirit Dove. descending through the air

Whose Law" Of vengeance overrlles the State

We feel the crown e'er yet its thorEs have shed

POPE'S PHYSICIAN is DEAD
Dr.. Lapponi Expires After Long
Illness Of Cancer.
His Holiness Overwhelmed with
Grief when He Learns of Death
and BIames Himself.

Rome. Dec. THE death of DR.. Lap
poni has overwhelmed the Pope with
grief. When the news was telephoned
TO the Vatican he wept, and blamed
himself for allowing DR.. Lapponi to
visit him while he was i'll Death was
caused by cancer Of the stomach.
Dr. Lapponi had for nineteen years
been the Vatican physician, the faithful
friend and physician of two pontiffs..
Dr. Lapponi studied medicine in the
Bologna School under PrOfs. Murri.

tor of medicine. After pTacticing for a
while in CapalOne in Tuscany, he

passed his ninetieth year and excep-
tional precautions had to be taken
against the smallest possible danger
DR.. Lapponi attended him throughout
his dying moments.
His treatment of the Pope in his last
illness was subjected TO criticism. Dr.
Cardarell asserted that the Pope had
died Of cancer. DR.. LappOni replied
that he had examined the Pope with
the assistance of DR.. Mazzoni. and knew
the exact cause of his death, but re-
fused to make it known to the public
even at the risk of his professional
reputation
Within three hours after his election
Pope Plus had reappointed DR.. Lapponi.
Last September DR.. LappOni fell i'll
