ID LEAD JEZREEL|TES
DETROIT MAN SEEKS TO REVIVE WANING FAITH IN ENGLAND.
Announces Himself as Heaven-Ap- pointed Successor to Founder of New ReIigion-Plans Call
 for Children of Israel.

London.-One of the pregnant utter ances of the late P. T. Barnum. who knew a great deal more of human na- ture than one can ever learn from books, was to the effect that the world would come to an end before the sup ply of fools ran short. There was fresh sucker" he said, born every minute. So there can be no doubt that Michael Keyfor Mills, erstwhile of Detroit, Mich., U. s. A., who has proclaimed himself the Prince Michael foretold by the prophet Daniel. and the heaven-appointed successor of James Jershom Jezreel, founder of the Jezreelites, will obtain following in England.
 The real name of "J. J. J" as he was called by his disciples, was James White. He served some years as private soldier in the British army be- fore the idea struck him that he could acquire much more glory and have fs: easier time of it by starting new religion. After he had obtained his discharge papers he turned up one day with document which he called the Flying Roll," because, he de- clared, it had flown to him from heav- en. It contained a lot of gibberish to the effect that U. J. J." was the one and only leader of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and anybody who wanted to stand any show of being numbered among the l44,0OO elect spoken of in Revelations, who are not to see death, would have to tie up to James Jershom Jezreel
 A lot of people did it, and Jezreel made the prophet business pay hand somely. He bought some property at Chatham on the summit of high hill and started in to build there rival to the Tower of Babylon. When com pleted, it was to house the 144,OOO elect. As designed by Jezreel, 1t would never have contained more than a fraction of that number; but, of course, the greater the claims he made on the credulity of his follow CTS the more profoundly did they be- lieve in him Before he finished the sixth story he died. Inasmuch as he

had proclaimed that by means of the Flying Rolr' he had been rendered death-proof. his decease staggered the faith of many of his followers in that precious document.
 Then his widow stepped into the breach. She explained that "J. J. J." had made little mistake. It was she, as Queen Esther, who had received commission from on high to save the remnant of mankind from destruction. She ran the diminished band of Jez- reelites for a time, but she did not make any attempt to finish the tower of Jezreel. Then she. too. gave the lie to her own pretensions by dying.
 Her father, Robert Rogers, next tackled the job But with the Jezree.- ites reduced to less than 30 in num- Der, there was not money enough in 1t to provide him with a living. and he has had tc toll for his daily bread just like ordinary mortals.
 Some years ago Michael Keyfor Mills came over from America, where he had established a band of Jezreel- ties. and intimated that he was the right man to boss the job at head quarters. Bun Rogers refused to ab- dicate in his favor and the small rem nant of the faithful left at Chatham jeered at him. Mills returned to America and devoted himself to mak. ing money. Cash counts in fanaticism as in other things. The lack of 1t compelled the Jezreelites to part with their tower The new owners demol. ished a good deal of it and tried to convert it into a factory. but couldn't make 1t work.
 That was Prince Michaers oppor. tunity. He has bought what Is left of the tower of Jezreel He has dubbed the hill on which it stands Mount Zion. And he declares that i; is the only spot on earth where there is any chance of escaping the fire and birthstone and other dreadful things that are soon to fill this world with far worse horrors than the San Fran. cisco earthquake.

Nemsbox,s stage Success.


The measure of success won is due
largely to a fat youngster with a
hooked nose and yellow curly hair,
who Ia set down on the programme as
Master Pincus. He was a newsboy at
Forty-second street and Broadway be-
fore he went on the stage. In the
farce It's All Your Fault" Archibald

ted, and suspicious, who has escaped
from an institution. He expresses HIM

Master Pincus In private life, SO he Is
called upon merely to play himself. The
remarkable thing is that he succeeds in
being absolutely natural. His very APP
~pearance-fat legs, aldermanic periph-
cry, hooked nose in the moon-face,
tight curling hair-makes people laugh.
And then he Is In such deadly earnest.
He understands very well that the
whole farce depends upon him and he
sustains the burden. The boy was not
wholly without STAGE experience. Early
in the season a fearsome musical COM

was presented in New York, and Mas
ter Pincus, because of his droll p
