THE MAN vOLIvA
PERSONALITY AND HISTORY OF
LEADER OF LIONS REVOLT.
Is Hoosier, and Has Been Preacher
and Religious Worker Since
He Was Sixteen Years
Old

Chicago.-The Imagination which
originates is always succeeded by the
matter of fact management, IL ruin Is
to be averted. The BUSTING Of John
Alexander Dowie and the inauguration
of Wilbur Glenn voliva in Zion City
is an exemplification Of the rule.
The two men contrast absolutely
physically, temperamentally, mentally.
The exuberant Dowie, massive in
frame, redundant in speech, magnet
ic and dominant in personality, en-
veloped and swept away by the power
of his own visions, recognized in his
moments of wisdom and judgment. in
his secret communings in his closet,
that in the young disciple Voliva ex-
listed the sanity. the sense, the pru-
dence, the righteous and sure faculty
which would most avail Zion when the
influence sof its founder was with
drawn.
Spare, pale, ascetic. cool, intelligent,
unaffected by dreams, resolute to ac-
| complish the task Immediately under
his eye, Voliva is no conqueror to
found communities, to convert the
world, to gain riches in Mexico, and
spiritual dominion in the islands Of
the sea. He could never invent the
pageantry, the Hebraic ceremony, the
oriental splendor. But he can and he
will put the business of Zion upon a
substantial footing. He can organize,
he can eliminate waste, he can prac-
ice economy. In word, he can trans
form a struggling. half bankrupt
community into thriving, prosperous,
well to do American municipality.
Voliva is SO years old His hair is
black. His eyes are deep set, shrewd
dark and piercing. His shallow cheek
is the aesthetics; his thin, closest
lips are the disciplinarian's, not only
Of others, but of his own spirit. He

Col. Stowe. There are only six hon

DR.. Heath of Kansas City, Kas., Is one
Of the six. In the whole United States
there are not more than rs Fellows OF
the society, and all were elected in
recognition of something, scientific at
tainments, explorations or fame OF one
kind or another. Mr.. Goodwin, the
latest addition to the society's ranks Is
only % years old. He was formerly
a department manager for SWIFT

company. He was born in Burling-

of unusual educational qualifications
particularly in mathematics. Col
Stowe had known him many years anG
admired his business energy. Under
the rules of the Royal Geographical
society fellow may, after years
membership, propose the name of an
other for the same honor.
The Royal Geographical society was
founded in 1880 for the advancement
Of geographical science. 1t received

1850. 1t started with 460 members

Disease and Crime.

Science makes marvelously rapid
strides-in a circle. We have been led
by 1t through many mazes, and we are
now about where we were 1000 years
ago, declares st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat writer. We are proving that
Plato's concept of the universe was
about right. And in time "by the grace
Of God we may know as much as our
Father Adam knew" Modern servants
have preached SO eloquently for the
past decade that crime is a disease;
that the world was about ready to &C
cept the theory and build sanitariums
In lieu of penitentiaries, and to sub
stitute the surgeon for the hangman
But now comes IAN authority" who
tells us that disease is crime" re.
versing the formula that we have
learned. He supports his theory by
many plausible arguments. Disease, he
says, results ordinarily from the in
fraction of some of natures laws, and
such infraction is criminal. It would
seem that there is nothing for 1t now
but to give medical treatment to the
morally diseased, and to hang the
physically criminal persons. We must
come to regard criminals as unfortu
nate, and the sick as willful law
breakers. Or else we must consider
crime and disease as one, and devise
a common method for treating both
1t is dark and involved subject.
Perhaps, before our comfortably ad-
justed philosophy of life is snatched
from US, 1t would be wise to take the
law into our own hands and formu-
lata a doctrine that would spare us
further worry We could say that
science makes US unhappy; hence 1t
is criminal, and its practitioners en-
emies to the human race. We could
then righteously hang the scientists.
and be comfortable and ignorant in
our own way. and not with the trained
ignorance of the sayants.

clothes himself in White tie, frock

smiles, not because he is oppressed by
his own dignity, but because he sees
no occasion for mirth. He does not
attempt to impress his visitor.
Voliva is an American, a Hoosier,
who is SO entirely an American that
he is ignorant of what is his racial
stock. He has been heard to say that
he fancies his peculiar name may be
French, but he doesn't know.
The family life of Voliva has been
filled with romance. He received his
education in Newton, Ind. where he
was born, in 1870. When only 16
years old, he preached every Sunday
in church at Linden, Ind, while he
was student at Miron college.
While at college he met Miss Mollie
estine, Ind, who also was a student
there. In 1891. after his graduation,
he married Miss Steele. He and his
wife moved to Irvington, Ind, where
they both entered Butler college to
continue their studies. While there
q child was born to them. Four years
later they went to Hiram college,
Ohio, to continue their studies. While
they were there the child died.
In 1900, DIR. Voliva became associ-
ated with Dowie's church. In Febru
airy Of that year. Ruth, the child shown

where he remained six months, and in

to be known as the Perkin research
fund, for the promotion of chemical
research. Many of the most famous
scientific men in England have taken
the matter in hand.
DIR. Perkins father was builder
and wished his son to be an architect,
but the lad wanted to go in for chem
istry, and, fortunately, his father let
him have his own way. When Is
years old he entered the Royal Col
lege of Chemistry, and made such
rapid Roadway there that two years
later he was appointed assistant to
Prof. Hoffman, who had charge of the
college. One day the professor sug-
gested to him that he should endeavoT
to produce quinine by artificial means.
He failed, but his experiments led

of coal tar. with yellow potash bichro-

stuff called mauve.
For many years after it's discovery
mauve pervaded the ribbons of civ.
ilized womanhood, and under the
names of lilac and heliotrope is still
recognizable among the latest tri.
umphs or the print works and the
looms. 1t is still the favorite color
of Queen Alexandra. But its CHIEF
title to distinction is that 1t was the
first of the long series of coal tar
colors, more than 100 in number AND
rivaling the hues of the rainbow
which have utterly revolutionized the
dyeing trade. DR.. Perkin patented his
process, and with his father and broth.

additional policies of 100000 and $780,

After making his will Withrow Sc
cured a large bunch of cotton waste,
soaked 1t in water and tied 1t over his

fight for life.
He was entirely unfamiliar with the
workings of the great mine and had
to trust to luck as to where he went,
expecting every moment to fall into
some winZe or shaft and be killed.
He pushed bravely on in the darkness,
feeling his way along the sides of the
various drifts through which he
passed, until he suddenly tumbled into

which he climbed, half choked, until
he gained the first station, $50 feet

essayed to climb up the square sets

to be abandoned, and the men returned

vainly calling the name of their miss

search was finally abandoned and all
concluded that the man had gone over

When the Amy Turner came into
the harbor two members of the crew
were sitting on the deck discussing the
strange disappearance and trying to
fathom it out, when they were startled
by what appeared to be the apparition
of the lost man. The face was lean.
the eyes protruded and the whole ap-
pearance of the fellow was truly ghost
like. The two startled seamen would have
rushed away had not the supposed ap-
partition spoken. The words spoken
were not coherent, but the voice was

of these travellers. The African as,
