FIGHTS POLICE IN MIDAIR.
Demented Sailor Struggles with ofh. cers on Flagpole of High Build
 ing in Cleveland.

Cleveland, O.--After rescuing a de- mented sailor from wind-blown flag pole, three policemen had hard fight with the man on the roof of 16-story building before subduing him. The sailor was from the battleship Iowa. and recently had been confined in the Boston insane asylum.
 The man had slipped to the roof of the Williamson building unobserved and had begun to climb the fiagpole wher fiutter of blue caught the eye of Sergeant of Police Hannah.
 Summoning two policemen. Hannah hurried to the roof Up climbed the man, and the wind twisted him about the pole. and seemed about to hurl him into the street 225 feet below.
 Finally the policemen pulled him down by a halyard that had become twisted about his leg. and then the struggle for the mastery started. The man fought fiercely until beaten into submission.
 Thinking he vas a deserter from the navy the officers took him to the recruiting station. where 1t was learned his name Is J. Cline, and that he re- gently had been confined as insane.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

In all the picturesqueness of an East Indian setting the life of His Majesty's Royal Bengal Fusileers will be shown by The Military Oc- tette and The Girl With the Baton at the Jacques this week as one of the three scenes which make up the act Tommy Atkins is always a fig ure of interest and when he is heard singing Kipling's pathetic "On the Road to Mandalay" beside his camp fire in the Indian hills he is doubly so. In costume and accoutrement he is the kings own to the life and the picture as he sits dreaming of the loved ones at home, softly grooming the familiar ballad Tn the Gloam- ing" he makes an object of fresh at tractiveness to the vaudeville goer wearied of inaccurate stage settings and inferior players. The singers of the octette are splendidly trained and their voices make the kind of music that one would like to hear oftener, while the musicians under the direction of John s. Leick, the cornet expert, are of class that is seldom seen in variety. Not a little of the prettiness of the act is due to the graceful winsomeness and cley- erness of the charming girl with the slender baton who adds greatly to the effectiveness of the ensembles. There Is picturesqueness, too, in the wire walking of James H. Jee, the marvel of the single steel thread. His act while a most sensational one to watch, is staged with such nicety that 1t makes an undeniably strong impression by this fact alone. The feats which this extraordinary man performs are almost unbelievable and he is by long odds the most re- markable athlete of his type ever seen at the Jacques. The remaining acts of the playbill are more than ordinarily good and are Dean Edsail and Arthur Forbes in pretty Irish skit. Dads Boy."

Though the automobile is with us always, when the ground is covered with snow as well as when grass blows green, just now autos are out in great numbers; and 1t behooves the lautoist to see to suitable wardrobe. For town and fashion resort one wears clothes of different order from. those selected for lengthy tours. and today we shall discuss dress for the former occasions. Our illustration shows a fetching motor hat of pleated gray glace trimmed only with wings. The veil, such prominent part of the costume of the average motor lady, is gray with black dots. The all enveloping wrap is gray cloth of heavy material with a collar of glace.
 For outing wear onN sees some very attractive costumes. Whilst voile seems the last thing in the world to choose for rough and ready purposes. it is to be recommended for walk ing suit in the city, where there are no fences to be climbed, no stone walls vaulted. It is light in weight and comes in all shades. The following proved very desirable walking cos tune, both in regard to comfort and appearances short pleated skirt of tan voile relieved by hair lines of green; the jacket a jaunty affair. warm and snug when closed. nice for a warm day when open. From be- meath the coat peeped soft silk blouse of green. The hat was burnt straw sailor with folded band and high-reaching bow of plaid ribbon.
 Sailor hats by the time summer is well here may be worn ad museum, but there is enough variety of styles to give considerable diversity. Those cone-crowned hats when trimmed are really acceptable, and one sees some exceptionally smart ones. The other day I passed the window of small exclusive shop whose products almost always bear the unmistakable stamp of style, and thought beholders the next 24 hours would be apt to see through rose-colored glasses. Every hat on display was of some shade of old-rose, in most cases toned Town with black. One of the cone-crowned sort had a black velvet bandeau. and short black plume that made low arch on one side. Quite number of chic hats have their trimming to the right, decided change from estab- lished rules. The bird of paradise is even more in vogue than in the win ter, and on smallish black hat very effective.

VOLIVA RULES ZION
Mass Meeting of Six Thousand Supports New Prophet"
"SpEyDTHRIfT, LIAR AND TRAITOR"
Wife of Elijah HI. Applauds scathfng Words of New Ruler Against Her Husband, Who Comes TOmor-
 row Towing Vengeance.

ZION CITY, H., April 9.-With the approval of thousands of Dowieites in open meeting General Overscer Glenn Volva denounced John Alexander Dowie as a spendthrift, liar and traitor and was Tn turn promised support as leader of the Christian Catholic church in Zion to fll the place Of the founder of the church, now deposed and on his way from Mexico to fight for his rights.
 When, after denouncing Dowie, Over seer Voliva suddenly demanded de- cision of the audience which crowded Shiloh tabernacle as to who should be their future leader. the 5000 persons in the auditorium rose as one person and signifed their willingness to follow Voliva to the end.
 On the platform with Voliva were Mrs. John Alexander Dowie, Judge Barnes, head of the law department of Zion City. and Overseers Speicher, Ex- cell, Cantei and Granger. At the con clusion of short prayer by Oyerseer Speicher the new leader of Zion, clad In a robe of simple white and black. decided departure from the gaudy raiment assumed by the first apostle on similar occasions. stepped to the front of the platform.
 yoliva then told the audience of the "deplorable" conditions he found at Zion City when he arrived month ago | from Australia and took up the man. agement of Zion's interests at Dowie's command. The speaker did not mince words, but spoke bluntly of the peri dy of John Alexander"
 When most bitter in the denunciation of his former master there was no one i in the tabernacle who showed more i approval of yoliya's remarks than ! Overseer Mrs Jane Dowie. When i Voliva angrily exclaimed, T will see that all the costly furniture and ex- pensive library adorning Dowie's Zion City residence and which were pur- chased by that hypocrite while many of his people were in need of food are sold and the money turned into Zion storehouses," Mrs. Dowie half rose and with her voice and hands loudly ap- plauded the words.
 Overseer Voliva in justification of the overthrow of Zion's first apostle told how money had been squandered fool ishly for Dowie's own comfort while the creditors and the people of Zion were calling loudly for money.
 A message was received from Dowie stating that he would reach Zion City tomorrow morning and ordering Shiloh house, his residence in Zion City. to be prepared for his homecoming. No- : liya, after reading this message, vow ed that Dowie would not be allowed to enter the door of what formerly was his Zion City home. i voliva declared that if Dowie on bis arrival in Zion City tomorrow
 thought to frighten him into submis'
 sion Dowie never was more mistaken in his life.
 ! voliva requested all present to keep away from the railway station when Dowie reaches Zion City.

The collar. buttons and belt of the brown and blue frock are of dark brown velvet. the hat is one of those summer felts that come in very we'll on the cool days. and has for trim ming a long osprey feather and scarf of blue silk.

poWIE AT SAN ANTONIO.
Told His Story to Zionites, Bitterly
 Attacking His Wife.

Told HIS StOry 10 LiOnltes, bttehhy
 Attacking His Wife.
 SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April g. - John Alexander Dowie and his party left last night for Chicago. The train was delayed at San Antonio. and this was taken advantage of by the local Zionites, who arranged for meeting of the elect.
 As Dowie entered the hall the au- dience rose and sang hymn of praise. Dowie walked down the center aisle, lowing and uttering. God be with thee" For ten minutes Dowie and the audience prayed together to banish the devil from Zion. Then Dowie told his story to the expectant people. His entire address was centered about the subjects of polygamy and the conduct of his wife. The audience was with him in all that he said. even when he bitterly disparaged Mrs. Dowie.
 Dowie denied that Zion is on the verge of financial collapse. that he tried to inculcate polygamy. that he wrote love letters 10 Miss Hofer or Miss Ware. that he is insane or in his dotage and that he ever gambled in Wall street
 After Dowie had been speaking about twenty minutes Mrs. Emma Rapp and her husband rose and faced the apostle. The audience craned their necks forward in tense expectation.
 Have you anything to say. sisterT' asked Dowie
 q lived in your house for a number of years said the woman. and I want to tell these people here that never was there kinder husband ar a better Christian gentleman. I want 10 say also that when your every act was one of kindness and consideration fo Mrs Dowie she made life insuf- ferabIe for you by her insane jealousy and fendish perversity. I often won dered how you could he so kind under the conditions that existed. make this statement of my own free will because God has told me to speak
