MAKING 1T suLTRr FOR DowIE

Lige Dowie may well exclaim:
S'They're after me-" Even his
wife and son threaten to issue a
signed statement exposing some OF
his acts if he persists in trying to
recover the material wealth of
which Zion is trying to dispossess
him. 1t is charged that DoWie
sought to instill into his followers
the theory and practice of polyg-
amy. 1t is claimed that he offend
ed several female members of fol-
Iy's flock by proposals that he
should be sort of husband-ln-
chief. He was fond of quoting
this passage from Isaiah: "And
seven shall take hold of one man,
saying, we will eat our own bread
and wear our own apparel, only
let us be called by thy name to
take away our reproach."
Mrs. Dowie grew jealous of some
of the sisters and they had to va
nose the ranch.
Dowie lived In a somewhat more
luxurious manner than did the
Elijah of old. His Shiloh house
cost 500, 900, and he also had a
cottage which cost $25, 900.
Each is furnished after the fash
ion of an ordinary modern sinner
with money. His dining room
outfit cost 81, SO, the table So, $50,
and twenty -four chairs S1,620.
His sideboard cost 81 200 and the
hall clock $500. Others may have
furnished the money, but the title
to the property is in Dowie per
sonally. DR.. Speicher, who is
one of the high priests of the tenn
pie, says: II am physician and
/ know Dowie is suffering from dis
ease. There are times when he
would get del1rious and rave like
mailman. He has, among other
ailments, pulmonary trouble, par
alysis and dropsy.n
He probably also had fits when
he read Voliva's telegram. He
has enough diseases TO give EN-
ployment to hospital.
How sharper than a snakes
tooth it is to have thankless
Zion. If the First Apostle has
grievously sinned, grievously is he
answering for it. With his wife
and son and chief lieutenants
turned against him he may learn
something of the cruelty of that
marble earted fiend which poor
old King Lear felt as he wandered
upon the desolate health, and he
may also exclaim: "Tremble,
thou wretch, that hast within
thee undivulged crimes unwhipped
of justice"
But DoWie will be able to hold
on to enough property to sustain
him in comfort until he overcomeS
his large and varied assortment O.
diseases Or until the bunch over
come him.

HAD PLENTY OF r
Dangerous Manner in Which Young
Negro Stopped a Runaway Horse on
Market Street.

A negro boy who was perhaps seven
teen or eighteen years OF age commit
ed an act on Market street yesterday
evening that under certain circum-
stances would have been brave but SIS
it was showed an utter disregard for
danger when there was no special
reason for it.
Those who were passing along a
ket street late yesterday evening vera
attracted by the sound Of horses hoofs
ringing out loudly on the pavement
and It was at ono evident that a horse
was running away. Looking up Mar
ket street in the direction OF Fourth.
a horse attached 20 an open wagon
came down the street at a terrific
speed. The wagon was empty and the
lines dangled upon the ground. AS the
| horse came down Market street a
young negro was leisurely coming
down Third street and just as he
emerged around the corner OF ST.
James church the horse came dash
! ing along. In a fash the negro spranS
into the street and at first looked like
he was going to make an enort 10
catch the horse by the bride but in
stead he waited until the wagon passed
and as the rear end went by he made
a dive for it and managed TO eaten
hold of the back and got into tie
wagon. He then crawled quickly 10
the front, the wagon was rocking TOO
much for him to stand II, and n
on TO the horse. He could be seen
bobbing up and down as he slid alonG
the back of the runaway horse. Pres
emily he got hold Of the bridal rein
and as he swung back on the reinS
the horses feet caused fire TO flash
FROM the pavement as he slipped
along on the bricks. By the time Ine

he had been stopped. The boy the'

ReeS as EmbalmerS.
From the New York Pres

From the New York Press.
Bees can embalm as well as n I'M
dertaker. All intruders on their hives
are slain and embalmed carefully. Ii
a worm or a roach or any insect blum
ders into a hive. the bees fall upon it
and slay it with the stings. To get
the corpse out would be a difficulty;
therefore, embalming it, they let it re-
main.
The embalming process consists in
covering the corpse with a hereto
coat of pure wax. Within this air
tiht envelope the body remains fresh
It cannot in any way contaminate The
hive. When a snail blunders in among
the bees, they cannot xii it on account
of. the protection Of its shell. So they
emba1m it alive. They it, shell
and all with snowy wax. 1t is a pris-
oner which only death releases.
