NEW YORK, Oct. 23—The leaders

obliged to look meekly on while multi
tudes of the faithful Began to take up
the shout “Back to Chicago!” aud to
start for the railroad stations.
Dowie stamped and raged in vain.
Weary nnd footsore with their pilgrim
age among the unregenerate nnd af
flicted with ills that failed to yield to
treatment, they decided that little old
Chicago was good enough for them
nnd shed tears when nny one men

be taken to the trains In ambulances
or carriages and nursed on the way
home. Tlio illness of many of these is
declared to be due to improper food
and lack of comfortable sleeping quar

It was predicted at Madison Square
Garden even among the followers of
“Elijah III.” that he would give up
his attempt to “restore New York to

HOW JAPS PLAY KEN.
Old Game Give* Hello* of For Knsl
Opportunity to IJlsplny Their
Beautlfnl Httiitls.
In its most widely practiced form the
basis of tbe Japanese game of lien is
that the fully outstretched hand signi
fies paper: the fully closed hand, a stone:
and two flegors alone extended, the rest
being closed, scissors. Each of the
players, says the Japan Mail, counting
one, two, throe, throws out his hand, at
the moment of pronuncing three, and the
out whose manual symbol Is superior to
that of the others, according to the the
ory of the game, was the trial.
Superiority is determined on the hy
pothesis that, whereas scissors cannot cut
a stone, they can cut paper, and whereas
paper is cut by scissors, it can wrap up
a stone. Consequently scissors is in
ferior to stcr.c, but conquers paper; stone
is inferior to paper, but conquers scis
sors, and paper is inferior to scissors,
but conquers, stone. There are innu
merable varieties of the game—for It if
not a mere method of determining a dis
pute of priority—and they are con
stantly added to by ingenious your.g la
dies, the dancing-girl class especially
who play it with exquisite grace and Ju
dicious enhancement of beautiful hands
and arms.
