UP TO DATE REFORM.
Rural Simplicity Successfully Tried

Nothing is more typical of the twen-
tieth century than the reformatory to
which wise judges and the generous
philanthropists send the waits and the

Ferry, on the Hudson, the new home
Of the New York Juvenile asylum.
In the past destitute children and
young criminals were generally herd
ed indiscriminately in barracks. No
one ever thought of calling them
homes" and no one ever regarded
them as places where, except by
chance the little inmates were actual
ly reformed. The old time reformatory
was no better than a prison, with all /
the hopeless characteristics Of such an /
Institution.
But times have changed for the bet
ter, The children's court has supplant-
ed the regular police court for dealing
with young offenders; the reformatory.
as in the case of the Juvenile asylum
is comprised of some fifteen attractive
cottages and schoolhouse, situated in
the midst of a fertile plain far from
the demoralizing city. Instead of the
severe restraints under which formerly
young unfortunates chafed lire. there
are neither keepers nor fe rs. The
boy rescued from the streets or taken
from neglectful or abusive parents is
made to feel that the asylum is the
lappiest place in the world. Kindness
meets him on every hand, industry and
honesty are inculcated by lessons in ]
he classroom and by work in the {
hops and on the farm, and every inhu- {
nee tends to encourage in him the !
iea that he is gradually making man a

ADVANCE ON ZION
'First Apostle" Greeted by Great
Crowd in Chicago.
BE HAS EMPLOYED COUNSEL

Chicago, April 11.-Dr. John Alex.
Rnder Dowie will not advance on the
hosts OF Zion" as suddenly as he ex.
pected. After a long consultation with
his legal adviser Emil C. Wetten.
Dowie gave out the statement that it
might be several days before he saw
fit to enter the city which he had
founded.
THE first apostle" arrived in the
city of Chicago Tuesday. completing
the first stage Of his long journey from
Mexico to the City of Zion, where he
is to face his accusers. An immense
crowd was at the station to greet the
self-styled Elijah Ill" He was in
the best of spirits and health at the
time, and before leaving the car crack
ed several jokes with a number of
newspaper correspondents gathered
about him. Escorted by a number of
local followers who had boarded the |
train at Englewood, a suburb of Chi |
cago, he made his way to the end of |
the train and stepped down on the
station platform. The moment the
crowd caught glimpse of this much
talked OF man, cheer arose, and he
was greeted with an assortment Of
welcomes, ranging from the reverend

the more jocular good boy. Dowie."
OF the members of the curious throng.
The crush was so great about the
first apostle" that the police protec-
tion provided proved totally made
quate, and the members of the Zion
Guards, who were protecting their
leader, had to fight vigorously to get
him to the carriage which was await
ing him.
After short rest Dowie summoned {
his legal advisers, and then ensued a a
conference which lasted the greater q
part Of the evening. Just what means t
VIII be taken to reinstate the first c
apostle" in Zion City were not def t
nitely stated, but Dowie did say most
emphatically that there would be no c
compromise with Voliva, and that DR.. Z
John Alexander Dowie must be the o
leader of Zion, or nothing at all. n
Dowie's determination to separate n
had received and read the story b
to the effect that he had intended to e
establish a harem in his Mexican col a
ony. He aseribes this story to Mrs. p
Dowie and his son, Gladstone. This
story caused Dowie great mental an
guish.
How could they be so cruel? How T
could they cause to be published such in
a thing?" he said over and over again. m
"She is the cause Of most of my pI
rouble," he reiterated. "she has nj
ipurred on Voliva and the others un- Ii
