Founder of Zion City Dies Penniless and Almost Forsaken, BELIEVED HE WAS INSANE Chicago, March 11.—Without kith or kin at his bedside, with but a paltry handful of followers out of the hosts who used to acclaim him glorious, with hardly a dollar left of all the millions that once he had, John Alexander Dowie, self-styled Healer of God, Re- incarnated Elijah, First Apostle of the Christian Catholic Church, and, accord- ing to his own declaration, the last of the prophets, died a miserable and rav- ing victim of paralysis. There were present with him when he died only Judge D. N. Barnes, his attorney, and two personal attendants, and these looked upon him as he lay dying, not as an apostle in a state of transition, but as a lunatic finding relief from agony of mind and body. The announcement of Dowie's death came as a surprise to his former fol- lowers. It was known that he was failing, but not that he was seriously ill, Since hs was depose? from the leadership in Zion City it had been Dowie's custom to hold religious ser- vices every Sunday afternoon in the parlor of Shiloh House. About 200 of his original followers remained faith- ful 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 public. Judge Barnes, who was at the bed- side of Dowie, is a member of Overseer Voliva's council, but remained friendly to Dowie, believing him to be insane. Dowie's wife, father and soa held the same view, and it is, therefore, believ- ed, though they were estranged, that they will attend the funeral. A touch of the ostentation that marked the rule of Dowie will be ob- served during the funeral services of the deposed leader. The white robed choir, which was shorn of its vest- ments when Overseer Voliva assumed control in Zion City, will take an ac- tive part in the ceremonies, which will occur on Thursday afternoon in Zion Tabernacle. Judge V. V. Barnes, one of the few eclders of the church who remained faithful to Dowie, will con- duct the services and will deliver the funeral sermon. RAILROAD MAGNATES SCARED Morgan Arranges Conference With President to Allay Anxiety. Washington, March 12.—J. Pierpont Morgan, the New York financier, came to Washington in his private car and went immediately to the White House, where he was in conference with President Roosevelt for more than two house. The objert of Mr. Morgan's visit was to urge the president to take some action to “allay” the public anx- fety now threatening to obstruct rail- road investments and construction.” Mr. Morgan pointed out to the presi- dent that the financial interests of the country are greatly alarmed at the at- titude of the administration toward corporations. At Mr. Morgan's earnest request, President Roosevelt has agreed to have a conference with four leading railroad presidents, Messrs. McCrea, of the Pennsylvania; Newman, of the New York Central; Mellen, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford, and Hughitt, of the Chicago & Northwest- ern, to determine if some agreement can be reached as to the relations be- tween the railroads and the adminis- tration. It is probable that E. H. Har- riman, head of the Harriman lines, may also participate in the conference, which, it is understood, will take place at the White House some time the lat. ter part of this week. PRESIDENT COMPLAINS California's Actions Makes Negotia. tions With Japan Harder. Sacramento. Cal, March 12.—Gov- ernor Gillette sent to the assembly a message from President Roosevelt complaining that the recent action of the legislature would have a most un- fortunate effect upon the president's effort to secure the exclusion of Jap- anese laborers by friendly agreement. . The president asked the governor to secure suspension of further action un- til receipt of a letter from the presi- dent. The governor asked that the assembly give the matter very careful consideration. The legislative action referred to by the president was the passage by the senate of a bill limiting the age of children of all races to 10 years when first entering primary schools, of a measure prepared by the Japanese- Korean Exclusion League, submitting the question of Asiatic exclusion to a vote of the people, and a resolution protesting against Japanese naturali- zation. The message created momentary ex: citement in the lower house. Then Grove L. Johnson expressed his confi dence in the governor and the presi- dent, said the question should be left to them, and moved that the assembly take no action on the Japanese ques- tion as this session. The motion was rried without debate. PLOT TO KILL KING VICTOR Says Person Left Roseto, Pa, to Slay Ruler of Italy. Naples, March 12.—A workman liv- ing at Montoro, in the province of © ‘Avellino, has received a letter from a an man named Stefano Giaquinto, who emigrated some time ago to Pa., containing the laconic phrase: “A person has ieft here to kill King Vie- tor Emmanuel.” It being known that Gjaquinto is an honest and trustworthy man, this let- ter has produced considerable of an impression. The police are investigat- _ ing the matter. The June Primaries. i There are numerous inquiries regarding | the holding of the spring primary elections.

Life Guards, The Lile Guards are two regiments of cavalry forming part of the British house hold troops. They are gallant soldiers, and every loyal British heart is prond of them. Not only the King's household, but yours, ours, everybody's should have its life guards. The need of them is espec- inlly great when the greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies in the very elements as colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip, and neumonia do in the stormy month of arch. The best way that we know of to guard against these diseases is to strength- eu thesystem with Hood's Sarsaparilla— the greatest of all life gnards. It removes the conditions in which these diseases make their most successful attack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, and imparts a genial warmth to the blood. Remember the weaker the sys- tem the greater the exposure to discave. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the sgstem sirong. ——*‘‘Love,”” remarked the sentimensal maid, “makes time fly.” ‘It does during courtship,” rejoined the young widow, ‘‘but after the paison has said his say, time begins to make love flv.” Books, Magazines Etc.
