RESTORATiON'HOSr
HAVINGJROUBLE
Dowie Vigorously Denounces News
papers in New York.
WAS HISSED SEVERAL TIMES
New York, ?Oct. 20.?John Alexan
der Dowie aud his "Kostoration Host"
are having troubles of their own in
"converting" this city. After giving
flnal instructions to the host for a
houso-to-house canvass, Dowie vehe
mently denounced the newspapers and
several clergymen.
Twelve companies of the Zion Hosts,
numbering 70 persons each, are en
gaged in the house-to-house canvass
of the city. Each company was di
vided into bands of 10, every band
haviug a captain.
Later Mr. Dowie, acconipanled by
Mrs. Dowie, his son and Deacon W. P.
Kindle, called on Mayor Low at the
City Hall, and told the mayor that his
people had respect for New York aml
admired the mayor for what he had
done. He thanked the mayor for po
lico protecLion, and, receiving assur
ance of the mayor's pieasure, departed
with the Zion salute, "Peace be unto
thee, brother," to which tho mayor re
sponded: "Thank you, sir."
'"Dr." Dowie's troubles with the pub
lic of "New Gomorrah" worc added to
again, when during the mceting 2000
people calmly walked out after calmly
listcning to a tirade of the press. The
"prophct's" anger knew no bounds,
aud he stamped up and down the plat
form roviling his departing auditors
in billiugsgate that might not be
printed.
"This Is all caused by Ihe nev%t>pa
pers?the lying vipers of the press,"
said Dowie. "But never mind; I havc
a message straight lroin God which I
will deliver to them. l'll Lurn them
up, thu hounds!"
"I am going to spank Dr. Newell
Dwight Hillis, that naughty boy," he
said. "He has been writin;; lies to the
newspapers ahout me. I spanked him
in Chicago, and I spanked him so good
that it was hard for him to sit down.
And l'll do it again.
"I want to say that there won't'bo
acy healing here at this meeting, or at
any tneeting. You have to be cleansed
aud saved first before you can be heal
ed, you stink pots, you beer pots, you
whisky pots!"
When Mr. Dowie opened his night
meeting in Madison Square Garden he
faceu un inimense throug: when he
closed it his audience had Lwindled to
only :i few hundred persons besides the
"hest" he brought with him from the
west. He fretted, fumed, threatened,
cajolcd and finally resorted to the use
of epithets, his hearers meauwhile
leaving the meeting, several hundred
together, drowning the sound of his
volce.
He announced tht he would tell how
lt was revealed to him that he was
"Elijah." and also that he would have
something to say to the newspapers
and their reporters. His talk, which
was interspersed with several hymns,
at times when the tramp of those leav
ing the hall was more than his volce
could overcome, was devoted chiefly to
denunciation of tobacco smokers, 11
quor drinkers and newspaper men, all
of whom he classed as "dirty dogs" and
"dirty birds."
Several times the audience hlssed
Mr. Dowie. After one such demonstra
tion he shouted: "We come here,' and
we get your impudence, but I will get
your hearts and then I will get your
pocketbooks."
"There is nothing so joyful as spend
ing money for the Lord," he continued.
"They say I came to New York for
money. I do not deny the soft ini
peachment." He said the story that
his wife lost a $1500 diamnnd pin was
untrue, as she never owned a pin like
that, nor had she lost anything. The
tales printed about his people being
hungry were all lies, he said. He had
"licked" the press of Chicago, he
shouted, and he would "lick" the press
of New York. He would lick these
"vultures."
Finally he came to the promised
story of revelation. He quoted Scrlp
ture to show that Elijah was to come
a third time. A minister had told him
that he was Elijah, but he was loath to
believe it. but finally after going over
the situation carefully he nmde up his
mind that he was truly Elijah. Then at
the opening of a building in Zion two
years ago he had proclaimed himself
Eltjah, well knowing the fearful re
sponsibilitie3 of the restoration that he
must, as Elijah, lead.
ZION GUARDS EJECT MRS. NATION
Kansas Saloon Smasher Insisted On
Questioning Dowie.
New York, Oct. 21.?Dr. Dowie. ar
rayed in evening clothes, talked for
two hours before a great throng in
Madison Square Garden, the burden of
i his talk being denunciation of the
i clergy and the press. When he began
, the huge Garden was crowded, and
j the police say 6900 persons who could
not gain admittance were turned away.
i Tn half an hour, however, the crowd be
! gan to surge out. and then the police
j refused to admlt any late comers, say
! Ing they feared a riot
It was with some difflculty that any
| semblance of order was kept The
speaker was repeatedly interrupted
[ with hisses and shouts of dlsapproval.
I At one point Dowie ordered the police
I to arrest two men in different parts of
! the building who had interrupted him.
Carrie Nation. who occupled a seat
near the front, asked "Elijah" to an
swer some questions. He refused and
ordered her to sit down. Dowie then
j pralsed the splrit in which Mrs. Na
: tlon had warred on the saloon, but sald
she used wrong methods. Mrs. Natio*
again demanded the privlltge of asking
questions. At once the Zion guards
eurrounded her. and with the help of
j several policemen ejtcttd her.
At this several hundred persons at
j the back of th? Garden made a rush
to get out. The entrance was blocked
ln a moment. and Dowie shouted that
the way had been blocked by the crowd
outaide brought there for the purpoae
of creating a disturbance, ordered the
Zionists to keep thelr places. He then
requested the audlenc# to be seated,
and after having the side exits opened,
he directed the audieuce to rise in sec
tions and go out at the sides. The
meeting was one of continuous dis
order.
CALLS DOWIE A MOUNTEBANK
Rev. Parkhurst Think* 2ion Servlces
Worse Than Circuees.
New York, Oct. 21.?The Rev. Dr.
' Charlcs H. Parkhurst has sent the
| following open letter to Mr. Dowie:
"I do not want to be presuming, but
j doubts if it is any more presumptlve in
me to come and try to clarlfy you
than it is for you to come and try
to clarify New York; and I do not
: know which of us has taken the heav
I ler contract. I attended your servlce
at Madison Square Garden and I went
determincd to enjoy it if I could, and
to be boneflted by it, and to go away
and roiute some of the charges that
i I had heanl alloged agalnst you. But
I it was of no use; your behavior on the
I plaiform crushed exery throb of syin
pathy I had wiih you. I never heard
from a publio speaker such a dis
i charge of effervescent wrath and
1 coarse invoctive. 1 went tc hear you
preach the gospel and you preached
! Dowie, Zion, 'Stink-pot' I was asham
ed of you, and almost ashamed to be
in your audience. It was a long way
below the standard even of the cir?
cuses that I have attended in the
same garden. The only consolation 1
j could derive was that it was so abom
? inaole and so far beyond the bounds
of the respectable tliat even those in
' your congregation who did not know
what Christianity is would have no
ldea that it had anything to do with
what you were saying.
"Of course, the ridiculousness of the
| performanoe was only enhanced bythe
! immensity of your pretensions. If you
claimed to be only an ordinary man
| there might be some hope for you,
; even with what you call the Tabble,'
| but the rabble is discriminating and
can discriminate as keenly as the
| keenest between a prophet and a jug
gler, between an Elijah and a mounte
bank. I say this in no splrit of anger,
but elther your head is twisted or
your heart infected, or you have blun
dered badly in your method. You can
not bully people into Zionism nor
blackguard them into the Kingdom of
Heaven. I hope you will take this
in the kindly spirit in which it is
offered and that it will be a biessing
to you."
