grew to young womanhood In the
home of the late John b. Kline of

FRAKER.
On Tuesday, October 4th, the
grim messenger, Death, invaded
the home of Dyson f. Fraker,
near F9rt Llttleton. and summon
ed hence his wife, Sarah Gather
inc, after an illness of one week.
Mrs. Fraker had, for some
months, been ailing with stomach
trouble, but no one thought her
condition critical, and her death
caused a shock to her many
friends and acquaintance.
Mrs. Fraker was the third
child of the late Samuel and Kez
ia Cromer, and was born at Mer.
cersburg, Pa, April 6, 1916, and
was united in marriage to Dyson

Rev. J. II. King, of the M. E.
church. She united with the
Methodist Episcopal church In
1866, and up to the time of her
death, renamed consistent
member. Mrs. Fraker was a
faithful CHRISTIAN, dear compan-
ion and a loving mother--always
ready to help in time of trouble
aud distress, and In her home,
was one OF the most hospitable of
women, always having a smile
and a kind word for every one
who entered her home, even when
her body was racked with pam in
her last days Ct sickness. The
family have the sincere sympathy
OF their many friends, and they
may well feel that their loss will
be her eternal gam.

than 5000 persons who subscribed to
this creed and accepted all announce
ments from the General Overseer, as
Dowie called himself, as coming from
God. Every store, every factory and
every peanut stand was in the name
of Dowie. Every business enterprise
was run in his name.
When Dowie moveu on New York
with his Restoration Host the city
he had built up in less than three
years bade fair to become one Of the
important communities of the state.
There were 1000 hands in the lace
factories, stores were doing a large
business and a great university had
been started Dowie lived in a house
which cost $154 900 and contained
among other things set of dining
room furniture worth $4,500. In the
Office of this Elijah there was a table
that cost $1,000.
With the trip to New York the
tide turned. Since then trouble has
come swiftly upon Dowie. He prom
ised his followers that he would re-
claim New York from the devil and
lead it captive back to Zion, and mem
bers of his Restoration Host came
with him on that strange crusade
When they went back his prestige
was gone and DOwieism was on the
wane. It's passing since then has been
swift.
Dowie started on trip around the
world to try his luck in the role of a
modern Elijah, but he was hooted at
and his religion received with derison.
On his return came the appointment
of a receiver at the instance of some
of his creditors.
He STAYED this off for a time, but
n April, 1906, the financial scheme
which had been the concomitant of
his religion collapsed. There was no
money in Zion to speak of. He had
spent $780, on his tour of the world,
$15,0 900 for private yacht, $4,000 on
a trip to Mexico, more thon 81 ,000, 900
in speculation and hadn't even paid
for the lumber that the city was made
with.

Machine Which Records the Notes

Musical composers VIII welcome a
long-sought-after apparatus for re-
cording compositions which has just
been invented by a Viennese, Laurenz
Kromar. The Kromarograph," as the
new machine is called, somewhat re-

with the piano by electrical wires, 80
arranged that a wire placed under
each key is joined to one of the "a

rograph."
When the performer strikes key,
contact is produced causing the ap-
paratus to write down the correspond
ing note. These are simultaneously
recorded on paper roll in characters
similar to musical notes. The "Kro-
marograph" promises to be of great
value to composers, not only as a
labor-saying device, but also for more
surely capturing and recording the
fugitive conceptions of a musicians

as did very frequently the Prophe,
himself and his disciples. A good
Mussulman ought always to have
few ready dishes for some chanca
friends or people of his own religion,
He must, however, never fall into
debt and never entertain others al
the expense of his own household,
If you enter house where roasting is

out being invited. If you happen TO
notice that the invitation extended to
you is not sincere leave the house
under some pretext or other as soon
as possible, not, however, without
having previously tasted some littls

HOW MosLEM GUESTS BEHAVE.
A Few Conditions that Must be Religl-
ously Observed.

Here are some interesting Mussul-
man injunctions OF conviviality. The
honor of being served first belongs to
the invited guest who is in the possess
sion of any high title or who has. In
any way or sphere, distinguished him
self. If the host himself is the old
est In the company or has any high
decoration of merit he must first be-
gin the meal without delay. in order
not TO let the others unduly wait. 1t
shows bad upbringing to be In a
melancholy mood at table, or to speak
of disagreeable things or to engage In
inappropriate discussions on matters
Of religious piety, Foremost of all,
one must always be In good humor
and talk OF pleasant things. as did
the Prophet himself.
You must always help yourself from
the side OF the dish nearest to you
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1907-03-12

and never try to find out the best bits,
which ought to be left for other
guests. II one of the invited has not
much appetite you must ask him up
TO three times, with some kind
chosen words. to partake of the meals.
A longer insistence would cause ennui
and would be most inappropriate.
You must never stop eating before
others, because In doing so you will
embarrass them and cause them to
aEish quickly in initiating you.
Never eat gluttonously, but also
rever attempt to conceal your good
appetite. Always eat little by little.
Exaggerated compliments are always
misplaced. The hosts duty is to make
his guests feel as comfortable as pos
sible. encouraging the timid and shy
II is contrary to good taste to address
and to fix the attention of a guest
when he is eating. Even if the host
Is not accustomed to eat much. he
must always try not to finish before
others. Should any dish be forbidden
to him by his medical attendant he
certainly must not partake of it, but
must, at the same time. excuse him
self before his guests.
1t is absolutely necessary to avoid
every movement or gesture which is
apt to create disgust One must, for
instance, never tell anecdotes of a
doubtful nature. never remove pieces
from the mouth and never sneeze
without turning away ones head,
never yawn, or clean the nose, or ap-
proaCh the head too near the dish.
On quitting the table every one should
wash his hands, the most distin-
guished in the company first of all.
Always wash them standing, never
spit on the floor and rinse we'll the
mouth. 1t is good and pious work to
invite friends to dinner, and especi-
ally people of the same religion.
On the great day of judgment the
time spent in good company with the
necessary observation of enumerated
rules of conviviality will be account
ed to one as high merit. 1t is there
fore advisable to eat slowly in order
to prolong this time. Never go to a
dinner party without being invited un-
less you are very intimate friend OF

He admitted that these notices would
go to Calvin A. Frye. Lewis G.

Hermann s. Herring, the four local
defendants named in the bill, but
when asked as to whether notices

on the part of Counsel Martin may
indicate that the matter of serving no

Dowieism Said to Have Brought Its
Founder SIS 100000 in Three Years.
His Money and His Church, Too,
Lost Even More QuickIy-When His
Sect Lost Faith.
The rise and fall of Dowieism as
religion is noteworthy for the short
space of time in which it occurred.
The Christian Catholic church N Zion
was organized on February %, 1896.
1t took eboutFseven years to reach its
apogee, then declined swiftly.
One of the curious features of the
movement is that it's leader seems TO
have made and lost a fortune of no
mean size. He was reported some
years ago, when the lace factories IN
Zion City were running and all seemed
we'll from a material standpoint, to be
worth $15.O0O.000.
A city OF 5000 acres, one of the
boom towns of the West, stood en-
tirely in his name and so did all its
industries. The collections from the
congregations were said to amount TO
between 100000 and $1,000,000 year.
One-tenth OF the income of the MEM
hers of the Church went to Dowie.
1t has come out since that he was able
to drop $1,2O0,0O0 in stocks in 1903
and 1904. but his followers didn't
know OF this.
Much of this success was brought
about because Dowieism at first
seemed to promise material we'll being
for those who took it up. The lace
making industry which Dowie picked
up in England and transpianIed TO
Zion City lured thither many of those
who became his followers. But none
of them ever secured a foot of lana
there that he could call his own. They
leased lots form Dowie for 1,100 years.
Dowie started buying the land in
1899. The first building was erected
in 1901. Dowie himself took up his
residence there in March, 1902, and it
was then that his religion entered
upon its golden age.
When Dowie announced that he
was about to start a new industry
there the poor in Chicago hastened to
join his community. Before this
Dowie had appeared as a preacher
and faith healer, but with Zion City
opening up alluring prospects OF f.
nancial success Dowie announced that
he was Elijah the Restorer sent by
God. The interesting part of his re-
lgion was the manner in which he
sought to insure for himself supreme
control of the Church and also his
own income.
In addition to taking the oath which
Judge Landis described as being be-
meath contempt, the discipline or the
Church described it as being an army
which does not vote as to who shall
be its officers, but, believing that God
has given apostles, prophets and
teachers. obeys those whom God has
set over his kingdom In so far as
these obey the plainly revealed word
OF Cod" Another paragraph in the
discipline provided that 1.-THE OF all

FRA|LEY FREED
Mayor Decided There
Was Not Enough Evil
dence to Hold Him.
RESULT A SURPRISE

Jacob Frailey, the local gambler wso
was charged in the last confession OF
Frank Castor, electrocuted for the
murder of Columbus policeman, with
operating fence for the reception
of stolen property, was given prelim-
lnary hearing Saturday afternoon and
discharged. Mayor Turnbull decided
that the prosecution failed to furnish
evidence to show that Frailey knew
the silver plate, stolen from Horace
Houser. of Akron. was stolen at the
time Castor turned it over to him.
After the queer story told by Frai-
ley when he admitted to Houser, Chief
Smith and Detective Eckerman, of
Akron, that he had bought the silver,
and the public feeling in the matter,
gives the citizens of Canton and OF
other cities in the state, a severe jolt
as no one seems to have doubt of
is true, none of the witnesses said in
so many words that Frailey knew the
goods were stolen but nothing was
brought out to show that any investi-
cation has been made since that inter-
view with Frailey.
Since that Is the case, nothing It ap-
pears but direct confession of guilt
would have been considered as suf1-
cient evidence to bind him over to
the grand jury, and confession was
hardly expected. While there was in
reality no convincing evidence of the
prisoners guilt, neither was anything
brought out to refute the charges
made.
The only conclusion to be drawn
from the hearing is that the prosecu-
ton was not ready with its case and
the hearing should have been post
poned accordingly.
Mr.. Houser gave a minute descrip-
tion of all the stolen property and
also gave detailed account Of the
robbery. He said he not only. heard
the man in the house but also saw
him when he left by the back door.
He also saw his partner who was
standing guard in the yard.
Houser said that in the interview
Frailey was not asked to describe the
property he bought nor where the pur-
chase was made. Neither was he ask
I'd IL he had been In the habit of
buying silverware or other goods from
Castor or anyone else. He told them
that after Castor's arrest he supposed

thought he could recover 1t when the

Ind 1t seems no one asked.
Since Frailey has been cleared with
put trial 1t is hardly to be expect
sd that the general cleanup will take
place. When the officials went to Co
)umbus on the night Castor paid the
penalty for his crime they secured
Btrong statements against Jumbo
Crowley, whom Castor called the buf

and members of the police department
and also against the alleged guilty Of

nothing has been said, and 1t is
likely the whole matter will be allowed
10 drop without any further action.
