tower. the first structure erected by
John Alexander Dowie in the city he
founded, has been torn down. The
lumber is being used to repair side

high and was 20 feet square at the
base. It stood in the center of Shilo

was dedicated to the wonderful tenn
pie which some day was to arise there.
Dowie is contemplating leaving Zion
City and taking up his residence at
Ben Mac Dhui, his White Lake, Mich,
house. Emil c. Wetten, the apostles
attorney, visited him last night and
urged him to make the change. Dowie
is living apart from the other mem
bers of his family in Shiloh house. He
has given up all idea of holding more
public meetings in Zion City.
A cross bill filed by Rev. Voliva's
attorneys at Waukegan declares that

MORE TO GYPSY RICO.
Prefers HIS Violin to the Love Of the
Princess Claimay.

New York, May 19.-"Princess
Chimay is doing everything in her
power to win back my affections. She
went to my home IN Hungary the
other day and placed a tombstone on
my fathers grave; kissed my mother
and told her she was lonesome for
me; scattered money in the little VII
lage, and sent me $1,000 to go back
to her I returned the money and
scorned her affection. 1 prefer to
stick to my first love-my violin"
Jancz1 Rigo, the gypsy viOlinist, now
playing in New York, so talked today
about himself and the princess, who
before her marriage was Clara Ward,
OF Detroit, and whose fortune is esti-
mated at SIS, 900, 00O. Rigo says that
he doubts the cabled story that she
intends to pose in Budapest as llv-
ing statue, and gives as his reason that
the princess is not so young and pretty
as she once was.
'.Iu tell you about her latest elope-
ment," Rigo continued The princess
and myself were stopping at the Eden
palace, In Naples, about eighteen
months ago. and decided to visit my
mother. She went with me to the
station.
There sat in the station three fell
lows, eating their dinner of sausage
and bread. The princess admired one
OF them, Guiseeppi RIcharddi, the sta
ton janitor.
'I slipped back to the hotel and
found this fellow there. He fed. and
that night the princess slept on rug
outside my door and begged piteously
Tor me to forgive her, but never did
nor I never will.
The next day I went to Paris. She
followed me, but refused to speak to
her- She wanted me to take money,
but 1 would not.
The only reason she does not fol-
country and she is ashamed of herself.
She went back to Naples and has lived
since then with the Italian.

STANDS BY THE CLERKS
Speaker Cannon Has a Good Word to
Say for Them.

Washington, May 19.-Speaker Can
non instanced his confidence in the
reading clerks OF the house yesterday.
MI. Williams (Miss.) during the fill
clustering against the bill to pay Sam
ueI Lee SIC, 900 for expenses incurred
during his contest for a seat in the
Fourth congress stated that he had the
name of member called and that the
clerk had recorded him as voting
when as a matter of fact the member
was not in the city
He said that he thought on several
occasions he had heard clerks respond
for the names of members but he
could not be certain of this because
his own hearing was not good. On
this occasion. however, he had dis
tinctly heard the clerk vote the mem
Der and he thought there ought to be
a more careful calling of the roll.
Speaker Cannon replied that the ef-
fciency and integrity of the clerks at
the speakers desk had never been
questioned, Ia fact their worth and
honesty were Known to every member
He said that in this great hall and
with the great membership In the
house it was almost impossible at
times to hear members respond and
he thought that in moment of
though htlessness the clerk may have
recorded a response without consid-
Grafton He believed that the taking
of votes in the house was on a high
plane of integrity. Mr. williams re-
piled by saying that he did not desire
to impugn the motives of the clerks;
he only asked for a proper record.
