Meanwhile the party about Lillian
drew uearer. He felt with instructive
certainty that the supper room was its
destination. but he remained notion
less, held by a species of fatalism. He
watched her draw near with an I'M
moved face. but in the brief space that
passed while she traversed the corridor
he gagged to the full the hold that the
new atmosphere, the new existence,
had gained over his mind. With an I'M
looked for rush of feeling he realized
how dearly he would part with it.
AS Lillian came closer the meaning
OF her manner became clearer to him.
She talked necessarily, laughing now
and then, but her eyes were never
quiet. These skinned the length of the
corridor. then glanced over the heads
crowded in the doorway.
I'll have something quite sweet,
she was saying to the man
beside her as she came within hearing.

said the words her glance wandered.
Loder saw 1t rest uninterestedly on q
boy yard or two in front of him, then
move to the man over whose head hs
yazed, then lift itself inevitably to his
face.
The glance was quick and direct. He
saw the look Of recognition spring
across it, he saw her move forward
suddenly as the crowd In the corridor
parted to let her pass. Then he saw
what seemed to him miracle.
Her whole expression altered, her Lips
parted, and she colored with annoy
ance. She looked like spoiled child
who, seeing a bonbon box, opens it,

AS the press about the doorway
Melted to give her passage the red !

divination that follows upon moment
of acute suspense. He understood it,
as he understood Lillian's look of

seemed for the moment to hold deeper

REMARKABLE CAREER.
Sketch of Dowie and the Work He
Has Accomplished.

CHICAGO, March 10.-John Alex

Scotland, May rs, 1847 In 1860 his
parents removed to Adelaide, Austria
liza, where, for seven years, the youth
was clerk in business house. Here
Dowie developed the commercial in
stinct that served him so we'll later in
life. He saved enough money during
this period to return to Edinburgh at
the age of 20 to take a five-years'
course in theology and the arts. He
became a master of Greek and He
brew, and cultivated a literary taste
that resulted in after years In II
brary of 10000 volumes with which
he was thoroughly familiar.
Six years of UNCONVENTIONAL activity

church and in 1878 went to Melbourne,
where he set up free Christian Tab
ernacle--the first OF its kind--and Or
ganized divine healing association,
which afterwards became information
al in character. He became President
Of this association and gained fame
by going out into the country during
the prevalence OF putrid fever and
apparently effecting many cures by
prayer and the laying on OF hts hands.

He laughed delightedly at his own

Lillian needed. She smiled her usual
undisturbed smile as she turned her
eyes upon him.

ander Dowie died at 7;40 this morn
ing at Shiloh House. Zion City. There
were present with him when he died
only Judge D. n. Barnes and two per
sonal attendants.
: 1t had been his custom all last sum-
mer and winter to hold religious ser
vices every Sunday afternoon in the
parlor of Shiloh House. About $50 of
his original followers remained faith
full and attended these services. Dowie
always wore his apostolic robes and
made a characteristic address. Five
weeks ago these meetings ceased and
Dowie appeared no longer In pub
lie. The Sunday meeting. however.
was still held by his adherents. Since
that time Dowie had gradually been
falling Friday afternoon, however,
there were no indications OF approach
ing death. He received a few follow
ers and prayed for some people. His
condition seemed to be about the
same as for the last two or three
weeks.
One of the attendants remained with |
him until midnight and was relieved |
by the other attendant. Shortly before !
/ o'clock this morning Dowie became |
delirious and his talk was the same as |

In December, 1903, Zion City was
placed under control of a Federal re-
ownership, which was dissolved a
week later on Dowie's representation
of ability to pay dollar for dollar ON
all indebtedness. At that time Dowie
estimated the value of his holdings in
Zion City at SIS 100000 Since then
the values of the lace factories and
other industries and holdings at Zion
City are believed to have increased to

Eighteen months ago Dowie began
the promotion of second Zion City
in Mexico. While engaged in this I'M
dertaking his health failed and he
went to Jamaica shortly before Christ
mas, 1905, for his health. While there
he suffered a stroke of paralysis from
which he never fully recovered. 1t
was at this time that he appointed
Wilbur Voliva his First Lieutenant
and General Overseer OF the Church.
A month after Voliva took charge in
Zion City he by power of attorney
vested in him by Dowie, had all the.
belonging to the church
from Dowie to Overseer
Granger, charging extravaganza and
gross mismanagement by Dowie. At

as he had on SO many previous occa-

and weaker and the attendant tele-
phoned for Judge Barnes, who reach
ed Shiloh House at a. m. Forty min
utes later Dowie was dead
The death of Dowie was unexpected
and a large number of followers and
others gathered at Shiloh House.
Mrs Dowie, Judge Dowie. the pro-
phet's father, and his son, who are
at Ben McDhu, Mich, were notified.
Judge Barnes, who was at the bed
side of Dowie, is member of Voliva's
Council but remained friendly to
Dowie, believing him to be insane and
not responsible for his actions.
Dowie's wife, father and son, hold the
same view. 1t is therefore believed,
though they were estranged, that they
will attend the funeral.
VoIiva's Statement.
Late in the day Voliva declared that
the death of the former leader will
not affect the future of the church
in any adverse manner.
Because of Dr. Dowie's sad mental
and physical condition" said Voliva,
"he has been hindrance in many
ways Now that he has gone all bit

The Phoenix Democrat has the fol- lowing:-
 "To carry out one of the strsngest prophesies ever made to Phoenix man, Peter Mohn, the well-known un- dertaker, will leave next week for Los Angeles to spend the summer.
 For the first time, Mohn this morn- ing related the details of a spiritualis- tic mediums prophecy. She warned him that he would be shot near the Roosevelt dam nearly three months before the accident hsppened.
 Mohn scoffed at the prophecy at the time, thinking DO more about it until few Jays ago, when he happened to recall what Mrs. Wilson has told him. It came back with stunning force.
 Mrs. Wilson predicted that Mohn's injury would come early this spring, and it happened on March 2s, nearly three months after the woman had predicted to the minutest detai! what would happen"

A City Marshal
 Who Knows a Few

From Yuma comes the following:
 When the Dunkards were in Yuma, Pat Sullivan, e customs clerk, took party of fifty of them under bis pro tecting wing, taking them to the gov- ernment hill, from whence they could obtain a good view of both city and valley. When he reported yesterday to Bob Anderson, who is vegetating at the De Spain ranch, the city mar ehal said:
 "You are a nice hypocrite to be showing church parties around the moral vineyard of Yuma, aren't you? Why, I'll bet you s5 that you can't re- cite the Lords Prayer"
 "I1l bet you sI0 that l can" re- piled Sullivan.

 Pat began:
 "Now lay me down to sleep,

Federation of Labor
 to Organize Mexico

The labor element of Mexico is to be unionized. This information, &C., cording to the News, was rojght to Fl Paso by Tom NJ. Lane of the American Federation of Labor, who has been working in Mexico in the interest of his organization for the last year.
 Mir. Lane, who is from Chicago, made his temporary headquarters in Mexico City ard has been laboring in every branch of industry. He arrived in the city recently and is en route east to report to the president of the organization.
 h speaking of the work accom- plished MT. Lane said: "When I went to Mexico found bitter opposition to any organization of labor, not only from the employers but also from the federal government. The latter have by hard work been able to overcome, and can say that the government is now heartily in accord with the prin- ples advanced. This concession was granted upon its being demonstrated tha. there was nothing in the move ment inimical to the Mexican govern. ment. The result is that a strong branch of the association has been es. tablished in Mexico City, Guadslaja jara Aguascalientes and Chihuahua, and will very soon be inaugurated in other cities of Mexico"

Postal Law Changes
 On July 1st, 1907

After July special delivery stamps will no longer be required upon letters if the sender wishes to reach the recipi ent sooner than in the ordinary mail. Ten cents additional postage with the word Special" marked prominently on the envelope will be all that will be required. Everyone should take notice that this means F cents for an ordinary letter. Even now some peo- pie drop letters into the mail with nothing but a special stamp on them, thinking that is all that is needed. While this means much more work for tte postoffice people, it ~ill be a great convenience for the pubic as there will be DO more hunting around on Sunday for special delivery stamps.
