DOWie'S -EEtrOUO6UNce

AOCOCt y LIUEI/CLOCECL/LC6.
DowIE's magnificent white elephant, Zion City,
is about bankrupt It will soon be thing Of the
past, and this is primarily due to the extravaganza
of the man who styles himself Elijah II. When he
imagined himself destined to reform New York City,
the experience cost Mr.. Dowe nearly half million
dollars And it is said his trip around the world
cost him million dollars This profigate squan.
dering of the proceeds that his trusting followers
have contributed toward the establishing of Zion
City, is causing considerable thinking among the
faithful In the face of such extravaganza it is not
surprising that many of his disciples have arrived at
the conclusion that they have invested their hard
earned savings in sailed mine.
The probabilities are that we shall soon see the
inscrutable veil lifted that shrouds this man of mys
terry. Will it disclose true prophet, or mounte-
bank? We also shall learn the methods employed by
those seeking converts. Surely they must have
strong inducements to offer in order to persuade men
to sell their FARMS withdraw their savings from their
banks and hasten to lay it at the feet of Mr. Dowie
It cannot be socitude for their spiritual welfare
They could have attained this at home without
sacrificing their all to obtain it.
On the other hand, if Dowie is what he pretends
to be, his public utterances devoid of that saint
illness that distinguished the great prophet of Biblical
times from other persons. If Dowie fails to have
vision before long, something to reassure his fol-
lowers, it is likely that the enterprise will 90 into

Echo of the SZ0czlnz,


CAPTAIN SoHA1oK, who was in command of the
ill-fated steamer General Slocum, which burnt and
caused the death of thousand lives some time
penitentiary. Captain Setback was charged with
criminal negligence. He failed to enforce the pro-
visions of the law applied to excursion steamers
1t is likely that this salutary lesson will stir the
inteects OF other owners of vessels and them
to investigate and to that proper precautions
being instituted No one believes that this un-
fortunate man wifully neglected to do his duty It
purely oversight his part to carry out the
provisions of the law. Perhaps he thought his
subordinates were attending to the matter. and
failed to give it his personal attention. When fire
occurred the apparatus found to be in poor con-
dition and failed to work. This neglect happens
SO frequently that it has become monotonous Peo-
pie simply fail to do their duty.
What was true previous to the Slocum disaster,
is emphatically true of conditions today. Perhaps
this warning will keep inspectors and vessel owners
from nodding their heads for some time to come. :
