Funeral of DoWie.

Six weeks before he died, John
Alexander Dow1e, founder of Zion
City, and first apostle of the Chris
tan Catholic church, prepared his
own funeral sermon. Thursday he
was buried at Mount Hope ceme-
terry, Zion City, but his last mes
sage was not read to his followers.
Leaders of the religious community
founded by Dowie decided that the
sermon would still further estrange
the factions into which the belle vers
in Dowieism are divided. The
watchword of the faith is ePeace be
with thee" and Dowie's message
from the grave was not of charac-
ter to make this salutatior general
In place of the posthumous sermon,
Judge Barnes, a lifelong friend of
Dowie, and an overseer of the
church, preached simple sermon in
which he extolled the dead man.
Although the sermon prepared by
Dowie was not used in the funeral
rites, it was given out for publica-
ton. The document makes it plain
that Dowie did not forgive his enc
mics before he died, as he lashes
those who ousted him from control
as "dogs Of hell, saying II shall re-
turn, and with ruthless hand 1 shall
exterminate the vipers and dogs o.
hell that now hold the high places
in the city of Zion. They dreamed,
and in the grossness of their dreams
they thought they had prevailed
over the first apostle. And now,
priests and elders of Zion, I shall
return to strike We down. I shall
return in another form, brighter and
more beautiful and 10000 times
more t>rrible, to cut We off in the
midst of your sins and to win back
Zion for the truth and for them that
held to the word and did no evil"
There was small sized panic dur
ing the funeral ceremonies because
of the announcement that another of
Voliva's followers was dying. In
the past week three of his ieuten-
ants who held similar positions I'M
der Dowie have died suddenly, and
when it was said that fourth was
likely to die before morning several
of the mourners ran from the taber-
nacle, shouting that Zion was ac-
cursed of God. This excited the
rest of the 5000 mourners, and be-
fore the cooler headed leaders could
get among the people to counsel
quietness, fully 500 had left the
building.

CARD PLAYERS sUPERSTITIoNs
One Mans Unlucky Mouth-Onlook-
or Who Brought Ill Luck.

or Who Brought Ill Luck.
Card playing gives an observer an
insight into one of the many curious
phases of human nature-the almost
universal belief in luck even among
educated men of more than average
intelligence, says the Pail Mall Ca
Zette.
One player | knew WE'LL must

who absolutely refused to play
cards during one special month in
each year, because he had reason to
believe that that month was unlucky
to him. Yet he was one of the most

man of great common sense.

quGinted with a club where the
stakes played for were comparative
ly high and the play was consequent
ly very good and where the players
were with hardly an exception hard
headed men who were keen about
winning and who were at the same
tine a singularly social, kindly and
liberal minded body of men. Among
the members was a very pleasant,
quiet old gentleman whose only oc-
cupation was to spend his days at his
club, and especially in it's card room.
At the period when | first knew
him he had ceased playing cards
himself but was extremely fond of
watching other people play. He was
the most inoffensive of spectators,
never made comments or criticisms
and simply amused himself in watch
ing the fall of the cards. Gradually,
however, experience showed - or
was imagined to show-that any
player whose cards he overlooked
held bad hands with, as 1t was as
serted, an extraordinary regularity.

which, | am ashamed to say, was in

plainly, he was tabooed from watch

fact of his vicinity.

Loss By Flood Is Many Millions.

After three days of business stag
nation, caused by a remarkably rap
id rise in the MonongaheIa, Allie
gheny and Ohio rivers, which inun-
dated over ten square miles of the
city of Pittsburg, Pa, conditions
have about assumed their normal
trend. The water is leceding even
more quickly than it rose. With
the exception of lowlands below the
city, the water has subsidized to it's
natural course. Large forces of
men are clearing the interiors of
buildings and repairing them for re-
sumption of business. Within two
or three days it is thought all the
mills will have resumed operations.
The loss in the Pittsburg dis
trict is estimated at $4,000, 900.
Reports from up-river points increase
the damage done by the flood in
Western Pennsylvania at least
100000 more. The exact num-
Der of fatalities caused by the high
water has not yet been ascertained.
A score of persons are known to
have met death in the flood, but yes
terday additional reports of many
deaths were received by the coroner
from surrounding towns. The
health authorities are taking every
precaution to prevent an epidemic
