PROPHET CONFESSES Dowie Relates Shameful Facts Touching His Parentage. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—1n a broken voice, with tears streaming down his face and his body shaking with emo tion, John A. Dowie stood on the plat form in Madison Square garden to night, before an audience of 10,000 per sons, and announced that in truth he was not the son of John Murray Dowie, of Essex, lowa, from whom he takes his patronymic, but a British army officer of high family by a "Scotch marriage." He heaped vilification and denuncia tion upon John Murray Dowie, who, he declared, had made his mother believe her marriage to Dowie's father was shameful, and the army officer having been taken away by his relatives, his mother in the first flush of her shame had sought to give her son a name by marrying John Murray Dowie. The revelation was made at the end of an hour's tirade against the press of this city, its treatment of his work and himself being styled a "conspiracy of falsehood," the reporters denounced as "yellow dogs," "poisonous reptiles, who have wrecked thousands of homes and broken thousands of hearts." He led up to the publication this morning of extracts from letters pass ing between himself and John Murray Dowie, indicating Dowie's renunciation of the latter as a parent, and which were responsible for the general over seer's partial exposition of the great secret of his life. Shouting at one moment in a fit of violent rage at the newspapers, Mr. Dowie would the next moment speak in the most gentle voice of his mother and wife. The great audience was moved by his evident emotion. Wom en wept and at times bursts of ap plause greeted his declarations.

Mr. Mc- Mahon that the French priest who married me to Senator Depew was de ceived, it is utterly stupid and ridicu lous. The priest who married us knew perfectly w rell that* there was another ceremony performed later by an Epis copal clergyman. "Senator Depew's two nieces have both been married in the same way I was, and it is absurd to think there has been any deception practiced. It is only In America that these things are misunderstood." This was the reply made by Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew to the allegation made by Rev. Father McMahon, direct or of the Cathedral library, that decep tion had been practiced on the French priest who married Mrs. Depew and her husband. Father McMahon's assertion was that the Catholic church distinctly prohibits a priest from marrying a couple if they are to be wed again by a Protestant clergyman, and that in the Depew case the priest was deceived on this point. He asserted that those guilty of such deceptions are also guilty of "a grave breach of honor." Senator Depew also ridiculed the story of deception, and seemed aston ished that it had been made. "Why, good gracious," said Senator Depew today, "there was no reason why the priest should not have known that I was going to be married again— that the wedding ceremony was to be performed again. To tell the truth, to make this charming woman my wife one ceremony is enough, if one be not enough eighty are not too many." THIS TIME O' YEAR. STEAMER IS LOST ON LAKE SUPERIOR The W. F. Sauber Goes Down and Two Men, Including the Captain, Are Drowned. SAULT STE. MAStIE, Mich., Oct. 26. —The steamer w. F. Sauber was wrecked off Whitefish point, fifty miles from here, early today, and Capt. W. E. Morris and Oiler Frank Robinson were drowned. The, Test of the crew of nineteen men were'taken'off the Sau ber by the crew of the steamer Yale. The Yale's crew worked from 11 o'clock last night until •$ this morning rescuing the crew of the Sauber. Robinson was pinched between a yawl boat and the Yale and went down before he could be reached. Capt. Morris was on the deck of the Sauber after all the others had. been taken off, when the steamer's boiler burst and he was blown into the lake. The blow on Lake Superior is said to be the worst in twenty-eight years. First Mate Alexander Mcßae, of Poinesville, Ohio, told the following story of the loss of the steamer: "We left Ashland at 3 o'clock, Oct. 24, carrying a load of iron ore for Lake Erie. The weather was fine, but at 9 o'clock Sunday morning we sprang a leak when abreast of Manitou island. Soon after the vessel was headed into the wind, but the! water, which had begun coming into the hold, continued to gain on the pumpg After nightfall we sighted two steanYers and displayed signals of distress.* One of them, the Yale, came alongside, and remained with us until the' ti&uber foundered. "When it was seen that the steamer was doomed, the crew, with the excep tion of Capt. Morse, took to the yawls and were all picked up by the Yale except Oiler Robinson. Capt. Morse remained aboard the Sauber until all the other members of the crew had left, when she settled down, letting the water into the boilers, which blew up. The Sauber instantly disappeared, but Capt. Morse- yfas afterward heard calling for help among the -wreckage. His men got a line to him, but he was so exhausted by e^jjosure to the bitter cold weather that he could not help himself and perished in sight of help. The lost oiler was in the yawl and it is supposed that he grabbed hold of the line thrown from the Yale, but lost his hold. He was-iiot seen again." The Sauber was- owned by W. D. Becker, of Cleveland, was 291 feet keel and worth about 480,000.: PORT HURON, Mich., Oct. 26.—Aft er drifting helplessly about In Lake Huron all night, - the barge Grace Whitney, which had broh«n away from the steamer M.

DECLARE THAT GOLF WRECKS HOMES LONDON, Oct. 26. —Judging from the numoer of wives' complaints and confessions published every week in the Scotsman, golfers must be ranked among the most neglectful of hus bands.

The time formerly-given by the golfer to the companionship of wife and fam ily is spent now, it is declared, on the linkt. His conversation i$ confined to mere clubroom gossip.

INDIANS m TOO MM FOR UND Attempt Will Be Made to Have Congress Authorize the Tak ing of the Property. Special to The Globe. OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 26.—Senator Millard has information that the ef forts of Maj. James McLaughlin to get the necessary number of Indian signatures for the opening of the Rose bud reservation to free homesteads have failed, the list being about 300 short of the necessary three-quarters majority. The Indians hold out for $2.75 per acre, while the bill passed at the last session of congress authoriz ing the opening of the reservation al lowed only $2.50, which is thought to be ample recompense. An effort will be made at the com ing session to have the opening of the reservation carried through by an act of congress irrespective of the Indians' sanction, the United States supreme court having held last winter in the Lone Wolf case that congress had the power to do this.

THEY BAR THE MEN Milwaukee Society May Be an Adamless Eden. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 26.—Ex clusive society in this city bids fair to be an Adamless Eden all winter.

Ira B. Smith, 612 Newberry boulevard. The cotillon committee includes the Misses Phoebe Rycker, Elizabeth Bige low, Emeline Smith, Edith Fuller, Elinor King and Minette Dewey." The Ira B. Smiths are at the extreme top of the heap of Milwaukee society. They have one of the handsamest homes in the city. They are noted for their lavish hospitality, and the real good times they give their guests. Most important of all, the young women named as the "cotillon commit tee' are the prettiest and wittiest so ciety girls in the city, of unusual beau ty and charm, some of them debu tantes. The coming cotillon is the most important social function yet to be held at which-men-are barred. Bell Must Go. DENVER, Col., Oct. 26.—1t is reported that the court-martial will exonerate Gen.

PETERSBURG, Ky., Oct. 26.— E. T. Krutz, a wealthy grocer, is mourning the loss of his full-blooded terrier, Pet. Pet died several days ago of dropsy, so the physician who waited on him said. The body has been lying in state in Krutz's beautiful home, in a neat little white coffin, lined with silk. On either side of the dog are his playthings, balls, and marbles. He could spin a top by holding the cap in his teeth, while his mistress pulled the string. Last December he saved the Krutz residence from being destroyed by fire. A spark from the grate set fire to a large velvet rug. Several years ago Mrs. Krutz was taking an afternoon nap, when a negro walked in. The ne gro was creeping near the couch of Mrs. Krutz when faithful Pet barked and awakened her. She screamed and the negro escaped, but later he was captured at Aurora and proved to be an ex-convict from Jeffersonville. The funeral of the dog took place to day. The dog's body was carried from the home by four little boys dressed in white sailor suits, each wearing an American flag wrapped about his waist, and taken to a knoll on the beautiful Krutz lawn, where it was buried.
