' V . ' ' Appearance, Set for Christmas Day, Said by Dowie's Pnpil to Have Been Delayed. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. (Special.) For plain and fancy prophesying there Is a man in Chicago who surpasses any .he whiskered soothsayer ever Inspired by a vision. His name Is H. It, Bur nette. Three years ago he predicted an early coming of the Messiah. Today he announced that he bad ''made good." Among other things, he declares: "The Messiah is now on earth, hidden in Zion Cityr- HI He is engaged in selecting a reception committee of eight men. His clothes In which he will make his appearance are laid out for him. He will reveal himself at Christmas time." Burnette did not make this announce ment publicly. He was Indignant when he learned that newspapers had it. He had whispered it to his followers as "private Information." in reward for their faith. It was a skeptical follower who let the Btory leak from the circle. Burnette is not an amateur seer. He gained wide experience through long association with John Alexander Dowie, founder of Zlon City. He has taken Dowie's place, he says, in preparing the world for Messiah's visit. The Messiah was to have appeared on November 11, Burnette asserts, had not the Devil stepped in and combat ted the Lord in his selection of eight men who are to form his reception committee.

The chief prise was worth while; it was $1000 and costumes found for a four weeks' appearance at the Winter Gar den. There are some who say that the chance of the appearance was notthe least tempting bait on the hook. . More than 1000 young women en tered the competition, by submitting KkniAn.niii an a orellminarv steD. The first prise went to Miss Laura Hill, of Blairstown. N. J.

Mr. Carnegie. "With 60,000,000 of people, the South American republics proclaim themselves quite able to prevent Euro pean powers from acquiring territory upon their part of the hemisphere. "This releases our republic from a serious responsibility," said Mr. Carne gie, "and should silence our belligerent advocates of Increasing expenditure upon our naval and military forces, both of which are today more than am ple to meet any possible foes." Mr. Carnegie said there was univer sal regret because of Mr. Bryce's de cision to retire. "Such a man as he may be called to high public service again." he as serted. Ambassador Bryce, following Mr. Carnegie, expressed his regret that he must soon leave the United States. "But I'm not here tonight to tak leave of you," he added. "It may be some time before I depart from thes shores. Even now I don't believe I will be taking leave of the St. An drew's Society." I GOVERNMENT . MAIMNC CHECKS TO BENEFICIARIES.

BEAR PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK After Crawling Down Hollow Tree Brain Gnaws Himself to Death. RAYMOND, Wash.. Dec. 1. (Spe cial.) Bert Gibson, of Wlllapa. had an exciting bear hunt this week which resolved Itself Into a game of hide and seek between Bruin and himself. With a couple of good bear dogs Gibson succeeded in treeing a bear on a hollow cedar stub and into which Bruin crawled with just his head and forepaw protruding. Gibson wouldn't shoot for fear tne bear would fall Into the hollow tree and be lost. Finally, however, he figured should he shoot the paw eX the bear it would enrage his quarry and he would come down, but instead the bear, on feeling the sting of the bullet on his paw, slipped Into the tree and then Gibson discovered It was hollow to the ground. He commenced digging with his knife into the thin shell and soon had a hole large enough through which he could poke the bear, which immediately be gan digging from the inside and final ly had a hole of sufficient size to allow his head to get through, whereupon he was immediately killed.
