Monnonism is threatened with ex tinction more absolute than could be attained by any mere legislation, says the Chicago RecordHerald. The inner most fortress of the Mormons at Sait Lake City is to be attacked next year by the legions of John Alexander Dow- ie. “Conversion to Zion City tenets” will be ti e slogan of the Dowio battle 1 array. “The restoration hosts will assuredly crusade to Utah in 1P04.” said one of Dr, Dowio's deacons the other day. “From Chicago and the neighboring states we will move 8.000 or 4,000 strong. In the west Zion lias many fol lower®. and they will be expected to join the army.” The founder of Zion City anticipates a decidedly lively campaign against ! the serried ranks of Monnonism. He thinks that the trend of affairs will , be anything but dull. No secret has been made by Dr. Dowio of his longing to contrive a conversion of the Mor mons. and the deeds that they hope to do in the Utah stronghold are constant ly being discussed by the citizens of Zion.

Hut the expedition to Salt Lake is only a beginning. It is nothing more than a first battle in a campaign. San Francisco has been charted ns the scene of warfare in IbOo, and on it the crusaders will move at that time. It is said that all the cities on the continent which Dr. Dowie thinks in need of moral reform and regeneration have been listed, and they will be attacked one by one and year by year in due or der of their immorality. It is possible that a foreign expedition to China will bo arranged, Dr. Dowie taking intense interest in the Chinese. When the San Francisco warfare is waged particular attention will be given to Chinamen. /vr I a j, Y: v.t Save Money by buying goods from I. M. Peeler.

This train is to roach Now York at a quarter past 7 o’clock on the morning of Uct. 10. A complete telegraph system will be installed in this train in charge of a tompefont operator. By this means Dowie will receive hourly reports from oaoli of the other nine trains, giving its exact location, progress and such oilier information as may he deemed desirable to the leader of the conquer ing host. Dowie will he the dying king, giving ids orders on route to his followers. Nine of the trains will con sist of ten day cars, with sleeping cars attached. Specific orders have been given by Dowie to the entire host that each member musi eat in Madison Square Garden, where extensive preparations are being made to take care of the restorationists.

With the exception of those who are taking the chief parts in the so called “fiscal controversy” now raging in England no member of the British cab inet has been more talked of lately than the recently appointed home sec retary, the Right Hon. Arctas Akers- Douglas, says the London correspond i ent of the Washington Host. In his bo capacity as head of the department of Ids the government which deals with crim inals Mr. Akers-Douglas recently laid before parliament a scheme regarding the treatment of wrongdoers which, he hopes, will solve a problem that has been for years agitating the minds of his predecessors. Ho is going to try ■Jjtpoii t'tch may bo as light as to reform the erindnal classes so as to make them both within and without the prison citizens. Hitherto prisoners, irrespective of their antecedents, who were sentenced to penal servitude— tiiat is, any term involving confinement for over two years—were put to such unprofitable occupations as picking oak um or breaking stones. The secretary feels that all prisoners are not hope less cases; hence Ids new scheme. Young men serving their first period are to be kept under special observa tion, and if it is found that the crimi nal instinct is not strongly developed in them they will be taught some use ful trade, which may help them to be- will i come respectable citizens on their re- f OF -V ..Ul<1in!4 nn<J l* iiNtenriK Gun- >al, unit Plaster Hnt.\ • tiMCer Pan* sliin^ien. r irtiund Com ent, . ynatrlte, Hlasttnft Powder, Fuse irut Dynamite Caps, cat) 0*1 Limestone Splits Lime Worst & CO., Lessees.

While in New York the host will take part In the early morning meet ings of praise and prayer, at which Dr. Dowie will deliver addresses on the eleven commandments, taking one each morning, uud four other subjects, which he will select for the fifteen days. As soon as possible after break fast tin* companies will form their seventies and leave Madison Square Garden for the districts allotted to them for the day’s work. At 10 o'clock every morning the general overseer will hold a meeting in Madison Square Garden, at which the host will not be present. At these meetings Dowie hopes to give divine healing teaching and to spend much time with the ill and suffering. The members of the host will be expected to return to Madison Square Garden for their la bors at 4 p. m. A hot dinner of three or four courses will be served at 5 p. m. This will give ample time to get ready for the evening meeting. There are to be no afternoon meetings. There will he street meetings in vari ous parts of th<» city. These meetings will not be so demonstrative as those held by the Salvation Army, but will bo similar to thorn in that there will be speaking, praying and singing of hymns. The bulk of the work mapped out. however, will consist of visitations, members of the host going to business and private houses and leaving tracts issued under the direction of “Dr.” Dowie. These traits relate to the tenets of the church..to the principles of divine healing promulgated by the head of the church and tin* cures said to have been effected thereby. It is contemplated that not a house in all New York sh ill escape, and Dowie has figured out that every one can bo lease. Habitual criminals will also lie put to some useful occupation by which they will no longer bo a burden on the taxpayer, and if they show no disposi tion to reform they will be kept in pris on for an indefinite period. This fea ture of tin* scheme is drastic because it will need a special act of parliament to put it into operation. I'rivc* Two of Wicket Work Collin*. Dr. C. A.

A complete guide to the professional beggars of America, with photographs, 1 Bcvtillon measurements and tattoo I marks, about to tic issued by the Unit- j ed Charities of Now York is the latest < step taken by that organization in the | deteimined fight it is waging against | professional begging throughout the I United States, says the New York ; World. 'i bis booklet, which will be sent to all the charity organizations of America, as well ns to police stations and to in dividuals of wealth and known chari table inclinations throughout the coun try, has been prepared by James Forbes, special mendicancy agent of the Chari ty Organization society. It covers the records of fraudulent beggars as com pletely as ex-inspector Byrnes’ book on criminals did the careers of notable crooks. Mr. Forbes has been studying the problem of ridding New York of street beggars for over two years, and the booklet about to Ik* issued is the result of his labors. In it professional beggars are classi fied according to their deformities. There is a special classification for those with tin* right leg amputated, an other for those who have lost arms, as well as a general list of all impostors known to the Charities organization. Beddes the real name of the beggar, wl at is known in the under world as his “monneker name,” or alias, is given, with his height, the color of his eyes, hair and a full description of the tattoo marks, by which the great majority of them are easily identified. The pro- fes Iona! beggar, according to Mr. Forbes, is nearly always a criminal. lie is usually of the variety known ns a “Yegg man” or tramp safe blower, the name having originated at the time of tin* arrest of John \V. Yegg, the first trawling safe Mower known to the po lice. The "Yegg man,” when on the road or in tin* “jungle,” as In* contemptuous ly terms the country west of Manhat tan. is usually a safe blower. He comes to New York to spend ids plunder, or if it is spent and be still does not wish to resume an active criminal career, he stays in the city and begs. “To the average ‘Yegg man,’” said Mr. Forbes, “the safe in a country bank is easy. When ‘Yegg men’ want to rob a bank they usually send one of their ntnnber into tin* town on a begging expedition to size up the hank. At night they travel into town on a hand car and while two of their number stand outside with six shooters to settle possible inti rruntiou they putty tie cracks of tin* safe, pmtr in nitroglycer in, which they carry in rubber bottles, and touch 1! off. They then board the hand ear with their booty,’ and before the bank wakes up to tin* robbery tiny arc well away.” In Mr. Forbes’ book, the “Yegg men’’ are considered in two schools, the “.ana tomical school.” which includes those who assume to have some physical in jury and usually wear snlints. band ages or goggles, and the “pathological school.” or those who feign a more sub tle infirmity, usually the paralytic hand. The “Yegg men” stand by one anoth er and will imperil their own lives to aid a comrade to escape. Mr. Forbes says they are far more loyal than other classes of criminals. And they wield strong financial and political Influence. Frequently a “Yegg man” convicted of vagrancy and sent to prison for a long term is relea sed on habeas corpus by tin* aid of influential politicians in spite of all tlie Charity Organization society can do. This influence conies from the fact that 111 ■..y “Yegg men” and the worn 1 with whom they associate belong to - fin aiti: I fai I’.igs and the additional fact that they frequen4!y have large sums of money, the fruits of big rob beries. “Earl Williams,” for example, whose correct name is Earl Webster Kemptb , is an influential “Yegg man.” He has relatives living in Schenectady and Al bany who wield a great deal of infln- enee. “Spanish Mamie.” a handsome woman, is also a power among them. “Lowell Eddie’ is recognized ns an or ganizer in the craft and takes charge of most of the big eases when their : •- complices are in trouble. His rigid na no is Edward Connor, and his home is, or was, in Lowell, Mass. Most of tlie crimes committed by the “Yegg men” are in the middle west, where distances are greater between towns. Many of them are employed particularly in doing,what they call “sticker” jobs, which consist in rob bing small post offices of stamps. Ev ery place outside of New York city they calf “the Jungle,” and New York is their headquarters. They have eighty lodging houses there occupied exclu sively by “Yeggs” and their compan ons and “parasites.” In the long list of 1,500 “Yeggs” whose pedigrees are given in Mr. Forbes’ book are very many who are tattooed. Mr. Forbes says that this appears to be a fad with them. Not withstanding that it serves as an Iden tification in case they are caught, no sooner does a man take the “Yegg” oath than he has fanciful designs pricked into his skin, and always these gaudy pictures represent something in his life that he wishes to keep fresh li his memory.
