Chicago, 111., Ju ly 9, 1900, Editor.Herald:-—As the people o f (Orville have heard so much of the $ufrHH»ov£mCnt, I feel that u descrip- tiMof the Mecca of the Dowie church t^i of its Mohammed might be of Uterwt to,the readers of t.he Herald. A*ftwas <Sy. privilege to attend the KPrtises of “Zion” Tabernacle, yes- lenday afternoon, l will try and &Mribe it and the exercises ns they impressed me. TheTrtbernucfe* is a large auditor- nunwith a seating capacity of nearly 5000. It-wns built for a Baptist i&tircli, but the church having fizzled « t itwas rented to Dowie, Oa first entering the building, impression ! b that of a musium forae-j. sort. Crutches, canes, iraces for the legs, and other meeban- ' contrivances are tacked*up on' the nil, as well ns secret society insigna, "cates of membership to these or* ( and1 life insurance policies, I iwhen the service began there 3000 people present. Iunderstand that the choir service patterned somewhat ''after the "paL church. The members of Aoir marched in, some from the *»<>rsi others <k*ws themiddle They were clothed in capa and ns with an outer gown of white hing1nearly to the knees. 4Dowie afirm believer in display and tries make^verything as spectacular as ‘hie. He, himself, did not appear Hafter the first hymn'was sung, then appeared and ns he stepped the platform the audience arose, ns gh it were a sacrilege to remain 1 iu DowioV presence After rthymn Dowie led iu prayer laiing which u telegram was handed 1mfrom a woman iu Canada, -ask- kgBunto pray for her dying child. Afriend with me asked if God wont iCanada by way of Chicago, Dowio now stated that there were Uto nr three things he wanted to about, and forthwith began an xus tirade against the postoffice Hfeialii, because some money sent to .had been stolen by the employees 1because some of* the “Leaves of lading” hud failed to reach their ;tion. He declared the post* 'department rotten to the core the post-master of Chicago it ritool and a wretched coward, liifthl that the postmasters in some tfiy towns were refusing to let pjaplehave the Leaves of Heal* %, From his speech one would Ai»kthat the whole department was *jftl against him. He spent about f au hour discussing one of his ht wits in which he took occasion *denounce the lawyers of Chicago, **declared the lawyers in this city I** neither law or gospel. Ike cliureb is arranging for au ex* next Saturday, out to the ^•fting City” about 40 miles from s<>* A half hour was taken tip icg for tins, and appointing b«s to sell tickets. Dowie then 1that he was going away for it *«ka this summer, aiulljkethe that went into a far country** , leave each one of his con* >ntalents and when he came if they hadn't used them he send them into outer darkness ( tbo Methodists are. He 'Uicsii not to believe what the Ptw aid, declaring all newt* both religious and secular as *hodevil that inspired them. ftsdiencGhad now been present **>fc*w anil a half, and liest lt* or t#o, a short prayer and sampler m the Bible, noth* “ wfttbordowd on religion had been m deae^ait tirade awl abuse •strand then « rough joke eal* -iskeep t|je, ui,,lienee in •; kwnor, ^^^stpreicbed $ sermon (twn Acts 2: 39. “Repent and bo baptized” He preached against infant baptism, assuming that the ministers who prac­ tice this, teach their people that it is a saving act, and then he denounced such ministers as infernal liars, He declared that the only right kind of baptism was the triurae . immersion, and that ho is the only person in the world who practiced it Therefore, the only way to be saved is to be bap­ tized by him. In this harangue the arrogance of the fellow was manifest. He declared that he* had the same power Peter had on the day of the Penticost, ntid literally, commanded the people to come und be baptized by him, deuounciug all as rebels who re fused to obey, . . -There were 57 candidates for bap­ tism and in his talk to .them in order to inspire faith, I suppose, he told them a'story about the reliability of his bank, , I t was now half-past six so Dowie closed his service with the benedic­ tion, and said all that desired to, could stay and see the buptfsm. , We concluded to see the whole show and stayed. The top of the pulpit was re­ moved and there was a pool of water. The cuudidates were brought into this pool about twenty at a time. He baptized the women first, dipping them backwards three times, but I think he was getting a little tired, When he got to the men, for he had them get down on their knees and he passed around and caught each one by the head and. pushed it under three times. ___ ■; Undoubtedly, it was the greatest farce in the name of religion that I ever witnessed and how anyone with any commou sense can beleive in him is more than I can tell. The joke was on me for one time;. Dowie looked around over the audi­ ence mid said, “ I see some young men here laughing. I know why you nre here: you expect to go hack home aud write an article for the Jnneaville paper," He evidently surmised my inten­ tions for that was what I was there for. Let me say, iu closing, that that I have tried to give an exact description ■ofthe service and not to overdraw it Id the least. Yours truly, ,T. R obb H ahpeb . The Telephone Company. The much talked of enterprise, The Telephone Company have at last got on the grounds aud arc lay­ ing their plans tor starting the work of erecting the poles. Several of the company’s expert linemen were in town this week for this purpose. A racmlier of the company informs us that *?ork will be begun by the first of next week, os already one car load of poles has arrived. The exchange will be located in the vacant room over Dorn’s Harness shop, it being an excellent location, ns the company intend to use the alleys where ever possible iu preference to the streets. When the system is corn* pleted we will be able to talk to Col­ umbus over an independent line. I e are informed that the local company has arranged with tho Miami Coin* pany to make connections with their line, this making the local company’s servieo of much niore value. Wo would insist that business men and families both in and out of town have « phone placed in their place of business and dwellings. The more that come iu it, tho more value it is to those who have already subscribed. Wo read not long ago where the farmers aloe* a certain Hue, every evening called up their (fiends and neighbors to learn what had taken place that day.

The editor replied; “You are right. And the minister who will at all times tell the truth about Ins members, alive or dead Will not occupy the pulpit more than one Sunday, and ho will find it neces­ sary to leave town ili a burry. The prees and the pulpit go hand in hand with the whitewash brushes, magni­ fying little virtues into big ones. The press and pulpit and the grave stones are the great suiutniakers.” The minister went away looking very thoughtful,' while the editor turned to his work telling of the. surpassing beautyof the bride, when in.fact she is as ugly as a mud t'enee.

IMMIDAIR Hung .the Coach.—AClifton Lady, Injured in a Terrible Accident at Dayton, Thursday evening at about 7:30 P, M. oceured a remarkable wreck a t Dnytou, for the reason that fifty peo­ ple were not crushed to death. The accident happened bn h viaduct south of the Union Depot' within the city limits. The Erie train which icaves Cincinnati at G:2i>f.wa$ c.ossing the viaduct when the flay coach j uroped the track, turning over on its side and landing cm another track which crosses the viaduct about 3 Feet lower than the main track. It is miraculous how the lives were spared for for it seemed that a touch would send the ear to tho street bed 20 feet below. y The craze stricken passengers were safely eared tor by a crowd of citizens. Mrs. Ella Wilson, of Clifton, was in the day coach and was cut about the body and limbs. She and her seven-year old son were returning home, from a visit in Burlington,Kan^ sas. Mrs Wilson was taken to the home of a relative in Dayton, where it is thought she will recover. ’ Traffic aver all roads entering Day- ton was delayed for several hours. . Pknlcers Wrecked. A distressing accident occurred Thursday evening ou the Dayton. Springfield and Urbana ElectricRoad in which thirteen people were injured two are serious but not fatal. Near the foot of Sugar Grove hill at Spring- field an emyty car coming down the hill, collided with another car carry* ing about 60 church picnicers. The motormnn, Clins. Armstrong in charge of the excursionist's car, had a leg broken and was otherwise seriously injured. The management states that the ac­ cident was caused by the carelessness of Motorman Campbell, who disc beyed orders by nut -taking a switch and await the arrival of ’the excur­ sionist’s ear. Criticism is general concerning tfie the road, and it is argued that it was carelessness, either upon the part of the motormnn or management, while one passenger states he over heard a conversation between the motormen to the effect that neither disobeyed or­ ders and that the .mistake was made at the office. L ater —Mr, Armstrong died yes­ terday morning. —For a pair Pants for Manor Boy from the cheapest" to the best go to Bird’s Mammoth Store. This beautiful architcelual creation will serve the purpose of a colossal screen to shut tho noisy, smoky remind­ ers of every-day world from the visitors at the great Pan Americau Exposition at Buffalo, N.

Saunders, of Col­ umbus, for 82(50, Sometime hack Mr. Dixon sold the mate for $245. Ho valued the team at $500 and would not sell' until he realized that nmount. Mr. Saunders heard of the horse anil immediately wrote for price. The above price was given, which Mr. Dixon thought would lie too high for the gentleman, and was consequetly surprised when the price was accepted, the gentleman never having seen the horse* Mr, Saunders was in Springfield, Wednesday, and drove over to Air. Dixon’s farm, north of this place, where ho inspected the horse to Isi9 satisfaction The horse was shipped to Columbus, today, ACard to the Public.

Already $40,000 has been raised as n guarantee fund and it is expected the fund to be swelled to $100,000, I t will be of interest to note the donations of the different firms, Tho Burnet House, Palace Hotel and Grand Hotel with a number of other firms gave $1000 each. Tho Cincin­ nati .Street Railway Co. gave $5000. Mayor Julius Fleischman and Mnhley At Carew gave $2500 each. Several of tho printing ami lithographing establishments gave from $500 to 0.000, while that poor, weak, insig­ nificant corporation known as tho Httnidard Oil Company managed to sijucczo out $500. When it comes to one man, A. Howard Hinkle, giving twice what tho greatest syndicate in the world gives. We think it time for the citizens of tho country to start a mission fund for this institution.

A few days ago while we had the pleasure of converging with a gentle­ man of considerable note, on the ques­ tion of electric roads, he informed lis that some gentlemen from New York would be here in a few days to look over a route for the proposed electric road. Numerous electric railway enter-, prises are being projected with every diurnal revolution of the earth, am it would indeed be passing strange ii: some of these lines that arc covering the country^' like net-work, did not cross our corporate limits iu order to reach their destination. This line in question will connect Xenia, Cedar- ville and Clifton. Accumulative evi­ dences of the erection of this dine in the near future are being disclosed in a manner that gives every assurance of the successful completion of the enterprise. In n few'days these, gen­ tlemen will be on the road securing right-of-way, and surveying the route, They claim that it will not end as most of our roads have, but propose, to carry every thing to a successful end.

ANew firm. On Wednesday, of .this week, Air, Joan B. Cooper , purchased the Bull & Spencer stock' of groceries and opened the store to. .the public, Thurs­ day morning. Mr. Cooper has for several years >een connected with the grocery store of Mr. Robt. Bird, as clerk, and is thoroughly acquainted with the work in every detail. Air. Cooper is a straight-forward business gentleman who deserves a goodly portion, of the mblic patronage, nud we predict a might and successful future for the management ot this new concern, ' Mr. Cooper has obtained the‘ser­ vices of Mr. George Y. Winter to assist him iu his work, Mr. Winter laving been with Bull & Spencer for a number of years. Injured by a Bltider. Last Tuesday, while engaged in cutting wheat, Thomas. Andrew was seriously injured hy the hinder. There were ii couple'ofcolts hitched with an older horse, which at once iroceeded to ran-away. They were innlly stopped and a hired man put on to drive, Mr, Andrew attempting to lead the fractions animals. Again they got beyond control and Mr, An­ drew stepped in front and attempted to catch the middle horse, but failed and was knocked down, the binder passing over him. Fortunately the bidder had been thrown out of gear or he would have been killed; as it was he received severe injuries, the flesh on his back being lacerated in a terrible manner* Dr. J . O, Stewart dressed the wounds. IT 8EEMKI) BIKE SUNDAY, • A little girl in this town had been ^Invited to one of the neighbors for lunch one week day evening. Now, being only a small town, folks did not eat lunch at noon and dinner in the evening, but they ate lunch in the., evening and dinner at dinner time, as >ecoines Christians. Bo; as already stated, this little girl had been invited ' Out forlunch. When supper was over, some member at the table remarked that the little guest had not eaten very much. She remonstrated that she bad done very welt and add, “This seems to me just like Sunday evening, such light, little lunch.” .And the host-, ess laughed, because that was all there waS'to tlo, and, said, ‘Tools and chil­ dren never lie.” ' ' 1 IflimeMe Pile at Cara.

COGITATIONS Takes the Form of Several Short Anec­ dote* This Week. Smallpox was it, town last winter, as will be remembered, and there had been some excitement. One' of the places quarantined had several in­ mates who had not really been ex­ posed, but were insulated for the pur­ poseofpreventing the speadof disease. A passerby conversed with the man of all work and inquired how the patient whb getting along, “Qb, all right,” said the party addressed. “ I t is only ' a light case ofcelluloid.” And the passerby went oh and couldn’t think for a long time that hemeant variloid. WANTED AN OFFICER. In Waynesville a show was going - on at the opera house and the orches­ tra was playing. That is, they were under the impression that that was what they were doing, but if the truth-' md been known and expressed they were makiug a noise that would have ' istressed even the martyrs of the Spanish Inquisition, and yet they were . used to some hardships. A man went down the aisle toward the orchestra, he seat of the disturbance, and said in a hoarse stage voice: “I want an officer; ish there no nffishcr in tlmlt loushe? Send me a poliahemnq.” One responded, as they always do when not needed and asked what was wanted. “Why, I want you to Inc arresbst that orchestra." And the funny partis, the man was arrested for being drdnk* THE BAY nE OBSERVED. The youngman had asked for a day off. His employer asked him why he wanted off and he was told that it was a holiday. We may as well re* mark in passing that it a church hol­ iday, but we will not tell which one; i;hatis, wlmt church, for it makes no difference as far as tho story is con­ cerned. and it might have been the same regardless of denomination. In­ deed, it is not a question of denomi­ nation, at all. Bo his employer being interested, as be ought to have been, inquired wliat day it was; that is, in whose honor it had been established and what it was called, The young man said, “ D——d if I know what day it is, but since 1 belong to the church, I mean to stand hy the rules,’5 and wo have no doubt he does a* he said he would.
