tator of Zion City, ILL., These words,
uttered without relevance in the midst
of a recent conversation with his son
Gladstone, lend color at least to the
charge of mental unbalance brought
against the prophet by his own family.
AS it is alleged that a secret propa-
ganda in defense of pOlygamy is among
Dowie's latest Vagaries, it is thought
possible by some that Alfonso's recent
matrimonial venture may have prompt
ed the prophets profound remark,
rather than any spirit of philosophy
playing around the abstract problem of
personality 1t is reported that he had
planned a harem of seven new wives

the seven he had already proposed. He

requisite fOrmality shorn of every YES
tige of authority in Zion City, suspend

and son, the dethroned First Apostle"
refuses to be convinced by the sudden
turn in his affairs. Perhaps he was
impressed by the fact that the meet
ing at which his power was overthrown
was held on the first day Of April.
Many papers comment to the effect
that Dowie's meteoric career simply
affords one more illustration of the
credulity of mankind. The Times hopes
that an accurate history of this
strange episode in American life can
and will be written as it would have
great social and economic value The
Evening Post regards Dowieism as "a
religious movement in some respects
more noteworthy than any in this
country since Joseph Smith received
his revelations" 1t further points out:
This unlucky year for Dowie hap
pens to be the thirteenth since he op-
ened his first small tabernacle near
the Worlds Fair gates in Chicago. It
is the eleventh from the year of per-
secution,' when the prophet was arrest
ed more than a hundred times, spent,
according to report, some $4,000 in
fines and legal fees, but ended by de-
feating the ordinances directed against
him, and won his final cases in the
courts. 1t is about eight years since
his establishment of Zion City and its
industries
"Of the personal characteristics of
the man the same paper says:
1T one quality can be singled out
as pre-eminent in so strange a char
acter as Dowie, it must be, we think
his extraordinary power of mixing
hard-headed, practical sense with his

His Visits to the Earl.

There Is a we'll known English bishop
who writes very bad hand. This bad
hand caused sad error to happen
some years ago. A young clergyman
had written to the bishop to inquire
about vacant curacy, and the reply
that the young man got Informed him
that the salary was small and the work
difficult But there was one mitigating
circumstance. The incumbent, among
his other duties, would visit the earl
every morning and spend two hours
there. The ctlrate would have rejected
the post but for the daily visit to the
earl. That attracted him. There would,
no doubt, he told himself, be many
fashionable dinners to which he would
naturally be. invited He would make
many friends among the rich and
powerful. These friends would be able
to help him in his career. The earl,
perhaps, had daughters. One Of them
who knows?-stranger things had
happened. And SO the curate accepted
the difficult and poorly paid curacy to
discover on his first visit to the town
that he had misread the bishops letter
and that bis daily two hours visit was
not to the earl, but to the jail.

1t was the belief of the ancient
Egyptians, according to recent writ
er, that everything, material and i'm
material, had Its immortal double. Out
Of this grew the idea of a life In the
future state Of perfect happiness in

the common people regarded these
"felds of peace" not as celestial
place, but as situated in the fertile
and well watered regions of the Nile
delta in the northwest of Egypt, where
the blessed ever breathed the cool
north wind. Here they lived an ideal
form Of their life upon earth. They

which supplied them with the "bread

At Portuguese bullfights not only are
the points Of the bulls horns sawed
of, but the stumps that remain are
carefully padded. The horses also are
ridden with consummate skill, and ev-
cry precaution Is taken to prevent the
bull touching them. Banderillas are
used by the men on foot and on horse
back and are planted In the neck of
the bull, which irritates the bull, but
cannot be described as torture Just
as much skill is shown as In Spanish

beautiful display Of costumes, but
there Is no killing either Of the bull or
