SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. C.T. RUSSELL REVIVES mustangs to carry I this couple VITAL RECOftpT) FATHER JOLLON DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS FROM BROOKLYN TO SAN FRANCISCO FAIR ONES SO ALIKE, TAKES WRONG GIRL If if'' -VSH V1; THE "DEMON SPIRITS" Tells Followers Devils Commit Crimes for Which Real People Are Blamed. "PREPARE FOR ANYTHING." "Pastor" Paves Way for "Some Very Startling Events Which WilT Occur." In the last Issue of his paper, the Watch Tower, "Pastor" Russell prepares bis followers for an exposure of Russel-lem and for "some startling events which will occur." For this purpose he resur rects the demon spirits doctrine, telling his followers that If they hear any of the 'Lord's people" having done wicked things they should remember that they were done by a devil who assumed the form of some member of the Russell flock. This 1b the second time since he has been In Brooklyn that "Pastor" Russell has paraded the fallen angels doctrine In' the Watch Tower.

On the first occasion he "Pastor" reported a "dream," which concerned him and the wife of "a brother in Australia." The language of this ex position was such that the postofBce authorities referred to the United States D'strlct Attorney the question as to whether It constituted a violation of the postal laws. In his present discussion of the doctrine, "Pastor" Russell Is not so specific, cr.d does not mention himself as the most likely impersonation to attract the atten tion of the earth-walking demons. The article, which is printed on pages 261 and 62 of tho Watch Tower of Ajigust 15, begins with a series of Biblical quotations. 1'ollowlng thJsa quotations, which are In-tended to prove the power of Satan, tho article continues: "If we are sure that have had a communication from fallen angels, let us remember that we are commissioned to preach to men, not to angels. "Some of the Lord'B people have gotten Into difficulty by not using the spirit of a sound mind along this line.

Evil spirits have a way of drawing the unsuspecting on, little by little. They are 'seducing as St. Paul tells us. (I. Tim.

A brother In the Truth once told us of his experience with them. Strange to say he was In the Truth when t.e had communication with the spirits. He did not say how he first got Into communication with them, but he explained the Divine, Plan of the Ages to them and told them what would happen to tho fallen angels. For Beveral days they manifested Interest, coming frequently to hear him. After a while they began to dispute among themselves and finally to curse one another.

Fallen Angels Row Till "Pastor" Tells How to Ban Them. "Tho brother had so cultivated the clairaudient power that he could hear them. disgust he tried to get rid of them. Not only would they not go, but they made matters intolerable for him. Finally he wrote us In distress, asking wnat metnoa to use to get rid of them.

1 We advised him to go to the Lord in prayer, confessing that he had done wrong and asking the Lord'B forgiveness; then, in the name of the Lord, to command them to leave him. ward he wrote us that he had followed our advice, and after a tedious time had finally gotten rid of his unwelcome visitors. "As the time of trouble draws near, we can readily suppose that our Adversary will have Increased power. Satan and his fallen angels will have a very baneful Influence upon humanity. "Some peculiar occurrences have been brought to our attention.

One was an account of a picture manifestation. A picture had been taken of a piece of property. When the photograph was developed It showed the likeness of a man who was recognized as a former owner who had been dead for some time. It seems evident, then, that evil spirits are able to exert some influence even upon a camera. Person Says Se Saw Things "Which Could Not Have Taken Place." "Another case was that of a person who declares that he actually saw cer- tuin things which could not possibly bave taken place.

How this could be we do not know. We do not know what powers evil spirits may possess. We have all heard of cases of mesmerism, hypnotism, where the person under control of evil spirits was able to describe accurately things taking place at a distance. We cannot tell how these things are done. We assume that It Is the fallen angelB who have power so to impress the brain of the medium that she would seem to see what was being done In another city.

In our dreams we see people walk and hear them speak. If we can have such mental pictures naturally, we may easily suppose that evil spirits mny have power in this direction. "The facts, however, do not make us understand the philosophy of the matter. Nor do we know to what extent these things will be used In the future. We have no doubt that some very startling events will occur.

Even to those who have the knowledge of the Divine Plan the things permitted will be strange. We should be prepared for almost anything that may be told. "We have great confidence In the power of those evil spirits who claim to do wonderful deeds. In fact, we can see that while materialization would be possible to them, yet a representation to tho mind would be much easier. To Impress a plo-turo upon the brain would also be easy.

Suppose such power were to be exercised, and the Lord's people misrepresented by the adversary as doing some desperate act. Be prepared for all such things. It Is too near the end of the race to think of turning back!" OHIO SPECIAL ELECTION. People to Vote on 41 Amendments to Constitution.

GOLDEN JUBILEE RECENTLY. Greatly Beloved by Thousands, His Parish Mourn Their Loss Funeral Arrangements Not Complete, The tolling of the bellB In the spire of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Louis, on Ellery street, near Nostrand avenue, this morning announced the death of the aged rector of the parish, the Rev. Jules Jollon, who had been lying at death's door for several weeks. Last night it became apparent to his physician that tho clergyman would not live many hours langcr, and so the members of the household and relatives watched around the bed.

It was Bhortly after o'clock this morning when it was seen that the aged man's time of life was very short, and Rev. Jules Jollcn. after the assistant rector, the Rev. Father Farrenkopf, had administered the last rites ot the church to him, he expired. Father Jollon'i condition had been serious for many months.

He celebrated his golden jubilee of ordination to the priesthood In July of last year, and at the large meeting arranged in his honor he said that he felt that he would not Hve much longer, possibly not more than a year. He was then 79 years of age, and was already in feeble health. Early In July of this year, however, he took to his bed It soon became evident that hlB life was but a matter of a few woeks at the longest. Father Jollon wa greatly beloved by all sorts and conditions of men. He was born at Belle, France, on August IB, 1S32, and he pursued his studies In his native town.

In 1861 he was ordanled to the priesthood by Bishop Lingherle. Hesre-mained in France for several years, 'and finally came to America, where he met the late Bishop Jonn Loughlin, then head of the newly created Eoman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. He and the Bishop Immediately became fast friends, and the Frenchman was persuaded to remain here and found a church for his compatriots. This he did, and the church he estab lished on Selgel street prospered for several years. However, owing to changes of population, Father Joljon decided that a removal was necessary, ana in ia tho cornerstone of the present Church of St.

Louis was laid on Ellery street. At that time tho parish was made up mostly of French Roman Catholics, but in late the administrative force of the parish has changed it ia now a cosmopolitan congregation. The present church has Beating capacity for 1,700 persons, and of late years the administrative force the parish has consisted of Father Jollon and Father Farrenkopf. Details of the nged clergyman's funeral are not yet completed, but it Is probable that the final services will not take place until Saturday morning. During all the time that the priest was sick Alderman John Rlemer appointed himself a committee of one to keep the public Informed as to his condition, and anyone calling at his place of business was given a bulletin of the clergyman condition.

Father Jollon was a typical "gentleman of the old school." Walking in his tall hat and frock coat, and accompanied by his big dog, he was a familiar figure about tho neighborhood. Ho was very old-fashioned and did not take to modern im provements, such as the telephone, SHIP NEWS. Arrived at New York Today. Altai from Port au Prince. Oestemunde from Tamplco.

Sweeney Really Didn't Know He Had McGailey's Charmer Till Punch Landed, William Shakspeare was sipping cordial with Sir Walter Scott on the upper deck of the houseboat on the Styx. "Walt, old man," he said, "let us put our brains together and devise some Pleasing Joke for those that dwell upon the earth." "Sure thing," said Sir 'Walter, draining his glass. Thereupon they conspired, and this; Is what happened. Last night James McGalley, 29 years old, of 674 Jefferson avenue, dined wisely and well with a young lady on the porch of a hotol at Surf avenue and West Eighth street, Coney Island. The Bupper was good, the music soothing, and the most delightful of cool breezes swept In from tho ocean.

At a nearby table, so the story goes, sat James Sweeney, a lumber dealer, who lives at 179 Prospect Park West. According- to thoso who were present. Sweeney was surrounded by a veritable Florndora sextet of bewilderlngly pretty maidens. Shakspeare and Sir Walter permitted them to finish their dinner In peace, but as soon as they rose to go, the trouble started. Although no one had noticed It, McGailey's girl and one of the Sweeney six were as alike as two rosebuds.

From the very tip of their tiny white pumps to tho mass of golden hair that peered coyly from under their picture hats, they were the same. Hence very naturally, It Is said, Sweeney rose from the table just as Mc-Oalley got up, and all unsuspecting, took McGailey's girl by the arm. She with downcast eyes, never dreamed for a moment that her arm rested on any but that of the mighty McGalley, so off she started with Sweeney. McGalley stood for one second in utter amazement. Then his manhood reasserted Itself, and it is alleged, with one mighty swing, he struck Sweeney full In the nose.

Shrieks from the sextet! Uproar in the hotel! The sound of a policeman's whistle! Shakespeare and Sir Walter exehnge knowing smiles over another cocktail. In a few moments Patrolman Joseph McDonald arrived on the scene, and on the complaint of Sweeney, placed Mc-Gailey under arrest. Tho whole party, including McGalley, the twins, and tho sextet, started off for the station house. It Is said, to witness the outcome When they arrived, the sergeant at the desk put his feet on the floor, straightened his cravat, and looked serious. "Ladies, ladies," he said, "what In the world has happened?" "McGalley mashed him in the map!" said one.

"Hut please don't lock him up," chirped another. And so they oil related how the entire Affair had been an aeoldent, and Sweeney deckled to withdraw the charge. But tho charge had already been made, the sergeant said, and would consequently have to stand. Thereupon, Swoeney, who a few minutes before had charged McGalley with slapping him In the nose, asked if It would bo possible for him to bail his alleged assailant out. This was refused and finally he shook hands with McGalley left tho station house, with the seven girls in tow.

In the Coney Island Court this morning, Sweeney failed to appear to press the so Magistrate Voorhies dismissed the case. And Shnkspearo and Sir Walter, who had caused all the trouble, laughed at iheir success, and went below for a game of billiards. WIFE GUT WITH BIG KNIFE Mrs. Frank Cillen May Die of Wounds; Police Arrest Husband. Frank Glllen, 42 years old, a laborer of 432 West Fortieth street, Manhattan, was locked up by the police early this morning, charged with felonious assault upon his wife Molly.

Mr. Gillen was removed to Bellevue Hospital In what the surgeons there Intimated was a dying condition. She had three knife wounds, one over the heart, one underneath, and a third in the right breast. It was claimed that Glllen, while Intoxicated, crawled Into a room adjoining his wife's and first tried to attack bis eighteen-year-old daughter, Annie, with an ax. In the excitement, Mrs.

Gillen appeared from her bedroom and tripped over tho hem ot her night robo. She fell at the feet of her husband, who according to tho police, was struggling for the possession of the ax. It was while she was lying at her husband's feet, the police allege, that Gillen whipped out a knife with a five-inch blade, and stabbed her three times. Mrs. Gillen In her pain and fright, managed to get to a jront window of tho apartment which is on the ground Hour.

Then she climbed over the sill and fell to the sidewalk. The cries of the daughter Annie, and other children, brought a number of young men, occupants of the house, to the Glllen apartment. They overpowered Gillen and called In the police. THREE OLSENS FINED $1.

R. R. TRACKS Harold Foster's Body Found With Head Severed Left Note at Boarding House, Walking along the tracks of the Long Island Railroad near Union Hall street, Jamaica, early this morning, an Italian laborer stumbled across the body of a man, which was lying directly athwart the tracks. Stooping down to examine the body, the laborer was horrified tu discover that the man's head was completely severed. He waited to see no more, but ran at once to the Jamaica police station and notified the sergeant at the desk.

When the police examined the body more minutely, they found It to be that of a young man of about 23 years, well dressed, and evidently In good circumstances. The body was removed to tho morgue ot B. F. Everltt to await developments. Later In the morning William R.

Flney of 15 Union Hall street appeared at th morgue and Identified the body as that of Harold Foster, a young man who ha4 boen rooming with the Flneys for several weeks. When Mr. Flney returned home, how ever, tho maid handed him an envelop which she had found on the dresser la Foster's room this morning, when she went to the room to make the beds. On tho outsido was scribbled in pencil, "To the one who sees It first." The note was dated August 25, and was as follows: "I am dead to the world and all un happiness therein. I here enclose check for $10 to pay MIbb Hagner and yourself for my board for the past week.

I hope everything will turn out all right, and good-bye to all. Your friend, HAROLD FOSTER." The Miss Hagner mentioned In the note lived next door, at 17 Union Hall street, and furnished Foster with his meals. The check for $10 was drawn on the Queens Trust Company, and signed by Arthur Q. Holbrook, treasurer ot the New York Sanitary Floor Company of Fleet1 street, Jamaica, whero Foster was employed. It 1b belioved that the mother of the young man is living in Nowburgh, N.

Y. Albert Norton, a Jamaica business man, who is Bald to be Foster's uncle, ia out of town at present. Foster spent most of yesterday locked in his room. He left the house at nine o'clock last night. PROPOSALS FOR BIDS AND ESTI.

Both are young and only partly broken. Automobiles and trolley cars were new to them and as they left the Borough Hall a tight rein had to be kept on them to keep them from prancing about In the crown that had gathered to see the couple off. When not on the road the couple make their home at 12 West 109th street, Manhattan. Both have ridden across states before, but they never undertook a trip of this character before. In Texas they expect to make fifty or sixty miles a day.

In some places the riding will have to be done at night because of tho excessive heat.

MILLIONS READY FOR FT.

POND BAY PLAN So Fitzgerald States at Hearing Before U. S. Board of Engineers. BREAKWATER IS ADVOCATED, Hinted That Hamburg-American Line Intends to Land Steamers at Montauk, Eagls Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, August 26 E.

c. Fitzger- niu, representing the Montauk Harbor Improvement Company, and C. L. Addison, assistant to President Peters of the Long Island Railroad Company, appeared before the United States Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, today, and argued that a favorable report be made to Congress for the construction of a breakwater In Fort Pond Bay. Colonel Roessler, In chargo of the New York District of Army Engineers, recently made a report on this matter, which was unfavorable to building such a breakwater at the present time.

Mr. Fitzgerald showed the board a cablegram which he had Just received stating that one of his directors had in terested sotiio foreign capitalists in the proposition to make Montauk Point a terminus for transatlantic liners. "One of our directors," he said, "has Just cabled me that he has raised 000,000 for the improvements in the way of building docks, bulkheads, etc. Tho Long Island Railroad Company Is going to spend several million dollars to Improve transportation. Although Mr.

Fitzgerald did not care to namo the for eign capitalist interested, it is understood in Washington that the Hamburg-American Line Is thinking seriously of building piers at Fort Pond Bay. "I propose to have a bill presented in Congress," Mr. Fitzgerald continued, "to make Fort Pond Bay a sup-port of entry. To have passengers landed from steamships to tho trains, which will not stop until they arrive at the Pennsylvania station, where the customs officers will examine the passengers, baggage, freight etc. This will avoid going to "I am of the opinion that in about twenty years New York City will extend to Montaukfl Point.

This will be the gateway. Long Island Is building up so rapidly, especially since the new tubes have been opened, steamships landing at Fort Pond Bay will help this growth considerably and build up the island solidly. "Tho Secretary of War only granted tho extension of Chelsea pierg for eighteen months, as you know, and that tlmo una I'Hiuuj nuimcu. i ne river at this point is so narrow, and especially opposite the Hamburg-American line and their boats are now being constructed 100 feet longer than the present ones which will make serious congestion In ine -now i era iiuroor. Mr.

Addison told the board the Long iHluml ltiiilrond Company wus roariv iT. do its part by providing more trackage ami equipment to Fort Pond Kay. ne told the Board thttt Colonel Roes'slcr'a ilium, it mauu io congress, would give thu proportion a bad standing there, and Hint uoionci nocssler did not think a breakwater at Fort Pond Buy was now necessary, the tlmo was not far distant wncn It would bo necessary. There is a probability that should the government refuse to build the breakwater the foreign capitalists Interested by Mr. Fitzgerald are likely to construct it themselves.

Tho board will not take any action In the matter for some time. There is likely to be another hearing In the matter, the rtuti! of which has not yet been definitely deckled. Leaving tho Borough Hall at ten min utes after 10 this morning, Jaudon M. Rldgely and his young wife, Cleo, started out on a horseback ride, their destination being San Cal. Before starting, Borough President Steers walked down the steps to wish them "God Speed" and bunded them a letter of Introduction to the Mayor of San Francisco.

Rldgely and his wife are both West erners and are experts in riding and managing a horse. They propose to make the entire trip on the same animals and if all goes well they will be San Francisco on January 1, 1913. Their first stop will be at Newark. N. J.

From there they will go to Elizabeth. New Brunswick, Trenton, Mt. Holly, Camden and Philadelphia. Both are motion pic ture actors and at the various towns they pass through will lecture on their ex periences. They are traveling under the direction of a motion picture magazine.

After passing through New rfersey and Pennsylvania the travelers will strike Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkan sas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Ari zona and California.
