DQWIE ESTATE IS SADLY REDUCED

Said That of the Millions "Prophet" Had Only $1,200 Remains.

fN THE CHICKEN BUSINESS.

MOTHER AND SON ARE ON A MICHIGAN ESTATE THE "UNKISSED" IS ALSO PRACTICING LAW AT THE SAME TIME.

Chicago, III., May 21. Tbe personal state of John Alexander Dowie, "Prophet Elijah III," who builded cities, who established his industries, who dealt in millions and who held the financial destinies of hiK thousands of followers in the hollow of his hand for a while now proves to he reduced to $1,200, of which Mrs. Jane Dowie has been awarded $100 as her widow's dowry. The .splendid robes of office have faded, the jewels have disappeared, the handsome furnishings of his homes have been taken away by receivership, the erstwhile dories of the founder of Zion are memories only. Mrs. Dowie's memory of them has, however, prompted her to demand of the present receiver of Zion many Items of personal property in Shiloh house, which she claims as her own. She has asked for the furnishings of her bedroom, for household articles, Including "a pillow case containing eleven infant robes," garments (,f cherished maternal associations. She has asked for a mahogany bedroom Bet inherited from Esther Howie, her daughter, who was burned to death. The value of the real estate no one seems to know, and it may prove to be more valuable than is expected. Mrs. Dowie has a claim upon it. She and the son, Gladstone, the "unki-ssed Gladstone" according: to his father, are now in the chicken business on the Michigan estate, Hen Mac Dhui, near Muskegon. Gladstone, incidentally, is practicing law and recently has shattered the belief his father fostered, that, he was "unldssed," for evidently Prophet Elijah III did not know all that happened to his son. Gladstone Is reported to have declared: "Of course I have been kissed; first when I was reasonably young, at school, and since then it has happened at reasonable intervals off and on, and I hope ." His gestures indicated his hope for other tender impresses in the days to come. He declares that be "came near being engaged once" in Zion City! that he may be again.

GREAT CONVENTION REPORTS COSTLY

Estimated That a Quarter of a Million Will Be Spent At Chicago.

SWIFTNESS SOUGHT FOR.

HARDLY AN INSTANT WILL BE LOST IN CONVEYING REPUBLICAN HAPPENINGS TO THE WAITING OUTSIDE WORLD.

Chicago, May 21. It is estimated that the cost to the newspapers of the country of giving the news of the republican national convention this year will be a quarter of a million of dollars. Although the convention is still some weeks off the preparations for it have been put actively under way with the opening of headquarters here by Secretary Dover of the National committee, and the letting of contracts for red, white and blue bunting. From the reports that have been received and the record of reservations at the hotels, it will be the largest political gathering ever held in this country. It is likely also to be the most fully reported if the demand for press accommodations is any indication. The news associations have announced that they will need more space than ever before and papers which ordinarily sent only one representative are asking for places for three or four. The news arrangements of a big convention, in which everybody in the country is interested, are one of its most important features and the managers of the approaching republican gathering are giving particular attention to the provisions for reporting its proceedings. Something of the amount of the work involved is shown by an article in the June number of Appleton's in which Trumbull White, formerly a newspaper man in this city, and who has covered several national conventions for Chicago papers, tells how the newspapers manage to put their readers in touch with everything that goes on both before and behind the scenes. "Almost, directly surrounding the chairman's rostrum," says the Appleton writer, "is a group of chairs facing temporary desks in the most favored vantage point for catching every word tnat falls from the speaker's lips. These are for the press associations which serve almost every paper in the United States with a detailed account of the convention. Surrounding them are platoons of chairs and tables, hundreds of them altogether, numbered and separated for assignment to individual newspapers. Close at hand are the rooms assigned to the telegraph companies, the press associations and papers requiring increased facilities." These rooms will be fully equipped with telephones and instruments with long distance connections will be placed on the desks of the writers in the main hall, so that not an instant's time will be lost in communicating the affairs of he convention to the waiting world.
