men $4,000 a day, while the loss to mer-

expense annually, and in winter enjoy
sunshine only o%ne-fourth of the time, to

the fog is aggravated by the outpourings
OF smoke-laden chimneys, which infect

accident and from diseases of the re-
spiratory organs.

Chicago.-Whether John Alexander
Dowie shall in the future, as III the
past, be acknowledged the First Apos-
tie by the members of the church he
has instituted the credit of being the
founder of perhaps the most religious
movement of modern times must be
accorded him.
Since his arrival in Chicago
In 1890 his rise to power and
wealth has been practically been I'M
checked. Except for his unfortunate
trip to New York in 1903, in which
much money was expended and in a
measure the prestige of the church
lowered as a consequence of the ac-
knowledge failure of the visit, he has
made few mistakes. The financial
storms which at times threatened the
stability of Zion City have all been
weathered, if not with ease at least
without disaster.
The events of DR.. Dowie'S life that
need recording may be summed up as
