HUNDREDS SAVED
FROM LOST BOATS.
Shipping Disasters in Blow and Fog Off
English Coast Cause Great
Suffering.

LONDON, March 1S-Shipping disas1
tcrs, in which narrow escapes of huns
dreds of passengers and great loss to
vessels are factors, occurred Sunday and
this morning in heavy seas and fog.
The fog lifted at Il. M, but tho
peril is still great
Suevic May be Total Loss.
Details OF the disaster to the White
Star line steamer Suevic homeward
bound from Sydney, New South Wales.
by way of Cape Town with nearly COO
passengers and crew on board show that
she struck the Brandies Rocks, close UNI
der the Lizard lighthouse at about 1890
Sunday night, and probably will be toy
tai wreck
Lifeboats and tugs from the Lizard
and Falmouth landed the passengers.
The women and children were first sent
ashore. There were no fewer than 100
children on board, many of them being
babies III arms whom the local fishermen
and their wives lifted out of the boats
and carried through the surf to nearby
cottages
Almost within sight of the wrecked
White Star Line Steamer Suevic, the
Elder-Dempster line steamer Tebba from
Calabar, Lagos, and other West Afri-
can ports for Plymouth and Liverpool
ran on the rocks under the cliffs near
Pawle Point i'll the early hours of the
morning.
Her seventy passengers, many of
whom were soldiers invalided home
from the West Coast of Africa. and her
crew were safely taken ashore by the
breeches buoy. Heavy seas are breaking
over the steamer, rendering the life boats
which are stanuIng by the vessel use
less. The Jebba will prove total loss.
Captains Last Voyage Tough.
Capt. Selby, commander of the Sue-
vie, had been at sea for thirty-nine years
and this was to have been his last voy7
age.
The North German Lloyd line steam
or Kaiser Wilhelm ii. during the NORM
ing passed close astern of the SueviCl
which was then throngcd with passen1
gers. The wrecked steamers bow was
low in the water, her forc-compartmcnts
were full and she seemed to be pinnacled
on the rocks. As plenty of assistance
was standing by the White Star Line
steamship the Kaiser Wilhelm H., which
had been going slow for ten hours owing
to the fog did not stop but proceeded
for Plymouth, where she arrived shortly
after 10 Il. m.
Steamers, some of which are described
as being large, are ashore near Rye,
Dungcness, Dover and Cuckmcrc. The
vessel ashore off Cucllmerc is the British
Steamship Newsted, from NOvoTessysk,
Black sea. Her position is serious.

DEATH OF DOWIE.
End OF the Most Spectacular Career
of Recent Years.

End OF the Most Spectacular Career
of Recent Years.
When John Alexander Dowie passed
away death ended the most spectacu-
lar and remarkable career that modern
times have known. Gigantic successes
and tragic failures punctuated his life
Here are some of the remarkable
works and reversals that marked
Dowie's career:
He built Il creed; he was eXcommu-
nicated.
lie built a city; lie was exiled from
It.
lie amassed a fortune of millions; he
was reduced TO virtual poverty.
He elevated VolIva to great power;
Voliya deposed him.
He drew about him thousands who
worshiped him; he died deserted by all
save a handful of the faithful.
Chicago witnessed in the course Of
n few years the founding of a cult, its
extraordinary growth and the sue
cceding di>Sensions which divided its
followers, then the death of its founder
and first apostle. The work of John
Alexander Dowie in Chicago began fif
teen years ago on a foundation of So
called divine healing. He was hooted
ana pelted with missiles by mObs and
arrested by the police. Dowie, perse-
cuted ana militant. won the enthusl-
astic devotion of many. Dowie, trium-
plant, established like a prince or a
patriarch in city of his own building,
lost the confidence of the great major
lty OF his followers. He died with only

Now that he is dead, it is not i-nprob-

John Alexander Dowie was a Scotch
man. He had been secretive about his

his followers for some announcement
of immaculate birth.

evangelist. Reports are that he was
fined 500 and served term of imDris-
onment in that country for the results
OF divine healing methods.
In 1888 he landed in San Francisco
with a capital of 500 in his pocket. In
1890 he came to Chicago and preached
on the streets. His followers multiplied
rapidly. Two years later he opened
larger mission.
Small donations grew to large gifts.
Those who fell entirely under his
power transferred real estate to him
50 literally that within four years he
was sich. He established a bank and
started divine healing" newspaper,
THE Leaves of Healing" In 1900 he
purchased the site of Zion City, 5000
acres of the finest land on the lake
front Of Lake County. Ten thousand
enthusiasts who accepted Dowieism
joined his colony. The numbers have
since dwindled to $500. Factories,
stores administration buildings and
residences sprang up.
He declared himself to be Elijah
Ill, or Elijah the Restorer. He sug-
gested the idea of immaculate concep-
ton, but withdrew it when he found
his followers were not prepared to ac-
cept it. During the past six years
Dowie had received millions in contri-
buttons, maintained a private yacht,
toured the world and used more money
than King Leopold. He obtained an
option on a tract of 100000 acres of
land in Mexico for a colonization
scheme.
Before he could carry out his plans
he was stricken with paralysis. In a
moment in which he was guided to his
undoing by a credulity similar to that
OF his countless followers, Dowie
signed a full power of attorney, au-
thorizing Wilbur Glenn Voliva, his
deputy general overseer, to make dis
posal of his real and personal prop
erty. The act was to empower Voliva
to lease lots in Zion City to new con-
verts during Dowie's absence in Mex
leo.
VoIiva availed himself of the oppor-
tunity to appropriate Dowie, and, he
claims, to place Zion properties where
the members Of the church, to whom
they rightfully belong, may obtain
their rights.

known to outsiders, Jane Dowie
Joined Voliva, who is also aided by

The closing hours of Dowie's life
were marked by the bitterness of de-
feat and humiliation. His sole com

How England Rewards Her Soldiers.

Britain has generally been generous in
rewarding her soldiers. Perhaps the
Duke of Wellington came off best in this
respect. In his earlier Peniusular cam
paign he was granted 4 pension of $1,000

conclusion of the Peninsular War in
1872, he was voted 100000 for the pur-
chase of an estate. After Waterloo the
government bought for him the estate
Of Strathfieldsaye at cost of t263. 900.
