INJURIES HARTJESS CASE.
Maid Varies Her Repeated Stories
of Authenticity of Letter.
IBy telegraph to The Tribune ]

Pittsburg, July 27.-Susie Wagner the maid,
chief witness for Augustus Hartje. materially
injured his case to-day by telling a new story
on the witness stand. Three times she had told
perfectly straight story. To-day she was called
a fourth time by Hartje to dispute minor
point in testimony favoring his wife, and in an
unguarded moment announced that Exhibit No.
6, one Of the damaging letters, was not the one
she had received from Mrs. Hartje She said
she gave the original 70 Edward Hartje, brother
Of the libellant, when she returned to this coun-
try last August Exhibit No. she received In
letter from her mother last November.
The defence has asserted throughout the trial
that Exhibit No. 6 was a forgery. They now
allege that the original letter from Mrs. Hartte
was copied by the forger. damaging matter in
serted, then mailed to the Wagner wOman's
home in Austria and remailed by her mother to
this country. Mrs. Hart1es attorneys have de-
manded the original letter, which Hartje's side
declares it cannot produce.
Crowds watched Mrs. Hartje to-day when she
left the courthouse, attracted by the attack
made upon her yesterday. AS she forced her
way through the crowd she was met with many
wishes for her success.

there is no other place in the world where, AT the
present time, every dollar put into good Chtls-

China.
Among the tract societies aided by the American
Tract Society are the Religious Tract Society OF

DOWIE LOSES ZION CITY.
Receiver Appointed by Court
Holds Contributors Created Trust.

Chicago. July 27-Judge Lands. Of the United
States District Court. gave his decision to-day
In the controversy between the adherents Of
John Alexander Dowie and Wilbur g. Voliva
over the property at Zion City.
The court holds that Zion City and it's indus
tries do not belong to DOwie; that. while the con-
tributors OF the funds did not express a formal
declaration of trust a trust was created. and
Duwie had no right TO treat the property as
his own.
John C. Hately was appointed receiver OF
Zion His bond was placed at $2j,OOO The
court refused 70 appoint Alexander Granger re-
ceiver, for the reason that Granger made a vow
recognizing Dowie as ga messenger Of the cove
nant the prophet foretOld by Moses. and Elijah,
the restorer," to which call family ties and
obligations and all relations to human govern
ments shall be held subordinate" The court said
ne was not Obliged TO repose confidence In
man so constituted that living in this republic
he would serenely vow his readiness at all times
70 abandon his family and betray his country.
The court ordered an election on the third
Tuesday OF September OF g. general Overseer,
each member OF the church residing IN Zion
City. male and female. to have one vote. He
announced that suitable provision would be
made for Dowie on account Of his services as
trustee
The effect OF the decision is to place the IN
dustrial affairs Of Zion City in the hands Of the
court, through the agency Of Mr.. Hately. while
the church's spiritual matters win come under
the supervision OF the overseer 20 be elected IN
September.
Claims against Dowie are now claims against
the receiver.
Mr.. Hately is a member Of the Board Of
Trade, a capitalist, and active IN charitable and
reform movements.
AS to the election. Judge Landis assured the
lltigants that he took the responsibility for its
fairness on his own shoulders. DOwie was not
in court. illness combining him to his hotel
Many members OF the church, however, who
still cling to him, were present.
Wilbur Glenn VOliva and his faction were nu-
merOuSly represented. Mr.. VOliva refused to
discuss the decision, but the comment on both
sides unoficially indicated satisfaction at the
outcome With hardly any dissent, the opinion
was expressed by those present in court that
Judge Lands had found horse sense" solution
of the problem which would work for the inter
ests Of the great majority Of members Of the
DOWie church.

is st. Johns M. r.. Church.

The popular union services Of six churches IN
the Eastern District Of Brooklyn began last
Sunday in st. Johns Methodist Episcopal
Church, Bedford avenue and Wilson street. Not
withstanding the oppressiveness Of the weather,
large audiences were present at both the morn
ing and evening services.
DR.. Robert F. Coyle pastor OF the Central
Presbyterian Church, OF Denver, preached two
strong and eloquent sermons. Dr. Coyle is one
OF the most prominent clergyrnen Of the West

Jesus; evening, sour InterdependenCe." The
morning service begins at 1O:45 and the evening
service at 7:45 o'clock, to which all are cordially

DIR. CLARK'S TOUR.
Reports Christian EndeaOor Work
Booming an Great Britain.

The Rev. DR.. T. E. Clark is now making his
seventh Christian Endeavor tour IN Great
Britain and reports that he has never before
found the unions so robust or the cause OF
Christian Endeavor vigorous.
In the Primitive Methodist denomination are
no less than 3,272 Christian EndeavOr societies.
with more than one hundred thousand members.
In the Methodist New Connexion are 449 sOcle-
ties-more societies than there are churches, for
both these branches of Methodism have taken
Christian Endeavor to heart. Instead of merely
tolerating it. trying TO supplant 1t with some
purely denominational society. these churches
have recognized the society as part Of the Church
machinery, considering active membership In
the society as equivalent TO Church membership
and the conservation meeting as the class meet
ing of the young people.
London has now the largest Christian En-
deavor union in the world-nearly eight hun
dred societies.: but many other cities also have
great unions. like Sheffield. with its two hundred
societies. a union which has made a gain Of
nearly 25 per cent since two years ago.
In Liverpool there is a class Of almost one
hundred EndeavOrers studying Esperanto, with
an Endeavorer for voluntary teacher, and for
the sole purpose of being able to communicate
with EndeavOrers in other lands.
During the last twelve months the British
Christian EndeavOr Union enrolled asa new
cieties Eighty-four of these were Baptist, a
Congregational 66 Primitive Methodist ga
and a number of other denominations were rep
resented. Three hundred and twenty three of
the societies were English, 81 Scottish q Irish
and 43 Welsh.
way counts about $50 societies over the whole
country.

SAVING FOR A VACATION.

The way TO spend happy summer is to an
ticipate pleasure OF some sort. superstitious
people say they are afraid to plan or look for
ward TO a pleasure for fear OF being disappoint-
ed. But even II they are disappointed let them
be glad Of the hours spent in anticipation.
In the summer. when work drags and tempers
are tried the smallest differences in families be-
come magnifed then spirit of discomfort and
longing 70 get away from present surroundings.
which possess most Of US. culminate in an in
tense desire which units for daily duties
and trials and makes us ask ourselves. Is life
worth living?
This is the time 20 rouse yourself. and by all
means go away. If only for a few days. Go
anywhere, but go. The change will not only
benefit you. but every member Of your household
will feel its effect. Some people, however, just
drag right on in a sort OF helpless despair al
ways longing for a change, but. for lack of en-
ergy and ambition, they postpone Il wear after
year, never anticipating, never realizing
Generally the question of money keeps nanv a
tired housewife struggling on in a weary de-
spatrtng way. And money, / will admir- ie ar
important factor toward spending a pieasant
vacation But If you would look forward All
winter to the thought OF spending at least a
week away from your present surroundings you
would ind that you could lay neat little sum
away by just saving In trifles here and there
1t is best TO plan for your little vacation TO be
taken during the latter part of the summer, for
the thought Of It will carry you through the
trying days at the beginning Afterward IL
your hopes are not realized or you are disap-
pointed in the place you had selected, why, the
summer is almost and you at least have
It will doubt give you new impetus for your
work and make you more contented with your
