He Preaches Two Sermons to I m
iuen.se Congregations at •
Birmingham.
Raises US .'50,000 for a V. M. C. A. Building:
in that City.
Qlrmintthant Herald.]
The doors to the Casino theatre, where
Sam Jones was to speak at 8 o’clock,
were opened at 2:30 p m. At that time
a crowd of several hundred had congre
gated in front of the building, and the
jam was simply terrific. Women and
children were fairly lifted off their feet
and the rapidly accumulating number of
anxious ticket holders helped to increase
the pressure from the rear until, when
the doors were finally opened, the help
less and half-suffocated people in front
were absolutely shot into the building as
with the force of a catapult. The stop
ping of people by the door tenders to as
certain whether or not they had tickets,
was au absolute impossibility, and the
object for which the tickets had been is
sued was by no means certainly obtained,
and the discomfort of those entitled to
admission, was increased tenfold from
what it would have been if the doors had
been opened at an earlier hour and the
IKiople allowed to go in as they arrived.
THE SERVICES
opened with song, followed by a prayer
from the Rev. J. H. Bryson, of Hunts
ville. Mr, Jones took uo text, and as he
said had no idea as to vvliat he should
say before he got through. The sub
stance of his remarks was as follows:
•‘My intentions tin's afternoon are
merely to give you a few hints. My hints
are sometimes pretty strong, as, when I
have anything to say, I am in the habit
of speaking it out right in meeting. These
services are in the interests of the Y. M.
C. A. This association is really in conc
petition with another one in Birmingham.
The other one is the Young Men’s Devil’s
Unchristian Asssociation. The Y. M. C
A. has 180 members, and the other has
2,000, and as to pluck, energy and busi
ness push, the latter has immensely the
advantage. The young men of our coun
try are largely what their parents make
them. There is in this city $2,500,000
invested for the direct purpose of the
REMORALIZATION AMI DAMNATION
of the young men. . Every saloon, bawdy
house and gambling den contributes to
this amount.
“It is said that the Y. M. C. A. is anew
thing. That 100 years ago there was
none, and what is the need of one now ?
One hundred years ago there were not
sixty saloons in this city. Wherever the
devil is found putting in his big licks,
there is the place for the UhVistians to
put in theirs. 1 have a boy 12 years of
age. I would give all I have to know
that he would never die a drunkard, and
never be less pure than now. I would
give all 1 have to be able to say the same
thing of my little girl, Julia, As to the
commercial and financial prosperity of
Birmingham, l am as well satisfied as of
anything 1 ever knew. 1 wish 1 could say
as much of her morals and spiritual
prosperity.
IF I LIVED IN BIRMINGHAM
I would not ask what the price of lots
was going to be ten years from now. but
1 would ask what are my boys going to
lie in that time. Bad associations and
neglect is what ruins young men. Every
saloon and evil place of resort in the city
are so many layers of evil influences to
drag them down to ruin. ' flood associa
tions will make a bad boy good, and vice
versa.
“Birmingham is more interested in
matters pertaining to her sanitary wel
fare now than anything else, dust so
sure as certain sanitary conditions cause
typhoid fever just so certain will corrupt
moral conditions produce spiritual and
social disease. You don't have to change
a man much to make adogof him. lused
to think it would require more hair and a
tail, but 1 have changed my opinion now.
If I were a scientific man 1 might go to a
defective pond or a bad sewer and say to
the authorities,
THAT WILL CREATE DISEASE.
‘How soon it would be remedied, and at
whatever cost. Why are the moral pest
holes not cleared out? These bad influ
ences are here, and I think here to stay,
because it is bad enough to have them in
operation six days in the week, but when
it comes to seven days and nights in the
week, the case is well nigh hopeless.
“1 verily believe that between 11 and
12 o’clock to-day you could have found
ten young men in the bar rooms of Birm
ingham where one could have been found
in the churches. Birmingham is proba
bly not more rotten than other cities in
the South. lam not here to parade her
vices, but to help save your children from
those which we cannot deny exists
When God gives a man a wife and a
poodle, he hasn't done much for him, but
when he gives him six children as he has
me, he has done a big job for him. Each
parent can help others to
RAISE THEIR CHILDREN RIGHT,
by raising their own right, and then
there will be no bad influences. I would
rather leave a wheelbarrow to my boy if
lie imd been kept pure and good, than to
leave a railroad to a drunken scoundrel.

will say: “Bam Jones has gone to using

of Birmingham, and rejoice in your
booms. When you made your money
last spring, old man. didn't you promise
God what great things you were goiifg
to do for him. It was all a lie. That
poor- old devil out yonder, who hasn’t
got a cent in the world, says if I was as
rich as Mr. So and-so 1 would give $50,-
000 to the church. If he had it he
wouldn't give a cent. The spiritual busi
ness of Birmingham is like an ieegorge.
It dams up and overflows ali the sur
rounding country, but only needs the
removal of a small block to break the
gorge, ease the pressure and give an easy
flow to the waters. If you rich men will
release the block by giving $5,000 to the
V. M. (\ A., the building will go up. I
have given $2,500 myself in the cause.
Some |ieople say

If l was a minister here 1 would pound

benefits of liberality in giving were illus
trated by comparing a free running
brook to a stagnant pond. The brook
freely gave its water to the river, which
flowed to the sea, and from thence was
drawn up by the sun and returned in the
clouds to the fountains from which they
came. The pond which sullenly held on
to its stagnant and malaria-breeding
waters found them gradually absorbed
by the heat of the summer sun, until it
was left a shallow, slimy bed
FOR FILTHY REPTILES.
In response to invitations for subscrip
tions to the Y. M. C. A. building fund,
$19,800 were subscribed.
The Night Service.
A perfect jam took place at tlie Casino
an hour before the time appointed for
services to commence. It was apparently,
judging from its eagerness, a crowd hun
gering and thirsting to hear the gospel
expounded by the great evangelist.
Promptly at 7:30 o’clock. Rev. Sam
Jones walked out on the stage, facing an
audience of at least 2,500, and called on
the audience to stand and sing “Come ye
that love the Lord and let your joys be
known.” He then led in a brief and
touching prayer, after which the audience
joined in singing “Who is on the Lord’s
side, who will serve the King.”
We will now have two verses from No.
101. “All hail the power ol Jesus' name,”
after which he continued: Thus far we
have spent half an hour very pleasantly
and very profitably. More than $20,000
was raised this afternoon for the Y. M.
A., and I dare assert that the building of
this house is assured. It is built for your
boys, is a home industry and a home in
stitution. It is for the boys of Birming
ham and they are all your boys. I like
charity but do not think that charity be
gins at home. I would not have an al
manac with that in it. Every fellow in
this house who never gave the widows
a mite, stand up.. (None responded and
the Rev. Jones announced that we had
nothing here but old widows.) Listen
and I will tell you what God meant when
he said it was more pleasant to give than
to receive. It is more pleasant to be in a
condition to give than to have to receive
charity. A man not in favor of foreign
missions is either a fool or a knave, the
former is the worse of the two, for a
knave may have sense enough to reform.
1 will be sure to tap you all up before 1
stop, for when I see a mule with the sin
gle-tree striking his heels I believe in tap
ping him and making him pull up. The
point in giving is not how much a man
gives, but how much lie has left. You
can’t measure a fellow by his tax book.
There is more downright lying on the tax
book than anywhere I know of. A man
will swear a piece of property is not
worth SI,OOO, and the next day he will
not take SIO,OOO for it. If the grand
jury were to overhaul your tax books and
prosecute all the men enrolled there who
deserve it, it would take a penitentiary
100 miles square to hold them. At least
that is the way it is in Georgia. I forgot
I was in Alabama. Of course, here they
always do the clean thing.
There was a rich old fellow here this af
ternoon who did not give a cent. I ex
pect there are a half dozen of you sitting
here who think I mean you. Look at that
woman nudging her husband!
Brethren, the best thing a man ever did
was to do right; the worst thing to do
wrong. Some folks like one thing and
some another, but my style of a man or
woman is one who has the consciousness
of doing right. It is not what you wear
or what kind of a house you live in, but
how much good have you done? The
question is, what are you, and what are
you doing for the community in which
you live?
Wives generally have a great deal of
influence with their husbands, and gener
ally carry their points, and they may
make their husbands much more charita
ble if they will talk to them. A man who
will check the purer, sweeter impulses of
his wife's heart —if you were to bore half
an inch into him with an auger you
would strike as pure a dog as ever lived
on earth.
I am not talking alone for the Y. M. C.
A. Look at your hospital project. When
I see the magnificent hospitals of the
North, lam led to exclaim: “How long
will it be before the South will equal the
North in this respect?” One man in your
city gave twenty thousand dollars to
your hospital, and it is the only gift I
have ever heard of in your State worthy
of its growth and wealth.
Now if any man is tired let him hold up
his hand, and if any man wants to
change the subject let him turn the back
of his hand. I am not sticking verj
closely to my subject, but I am sticking
to you—(boys on the roof of the house
make a fuss.) Look here, you boys on
the ro< f of the house looking in at the
windows, you are perfectly welcome to
stick your noggins in at the window, but
you must keep quiet. .
I believe about the best sjieeulation a
man can make is in charities. I have
speculated a great deal on poor white
folks and negroes in the past few years,
and find them very profitable invest
ments.
Esher, lock that door and bring me the
key. Lock the door, put the key in your
pocket. There is always somebody pit**-
ent who wants tos**e and hear everything
that's going on and then want to leave

don’t cart* if you do leave, but you might
take somebody away with you who is
some aeeout."
Mr. Jones then pnxeeded in his orig
inal and effective style to take up a col
lection for the proposed Y. M. A. Ele\*
en thousand, four hundred and five dol
lars were subserilred, which added to the
afternoon subscription, made $.'10,000.
Hamilton's Grounds to Be Sold.
From the sew York Herald.]
One ot the most peculiar signs of New
York's rapid growth in the present era ot
its ex is tenet* is the callous manner in
which the most historic landmarks of
Manhattan Island art* being swept out
of existence by the onward mart'll of
active metropolitan life and industry.
A cold ami business-like announcement
has 1 let'll made within the past few days
in the Herald by L. J. & I. Phillips that
they will, on October 25 next, sell at
auction the property known as Hamilton
Grange, which lies along St. Nicholas
and Tenth avenues, and lietween 140th
streets.
The bare announcement means noth
ing less than the mansion and surround
ing grounds, one hundred and seventy
five city lots, forming part of a tract
bought nearly a century ago by Alexan
der Hamilton, and occupied and improv
ed by him, arc to be sold under the ham
mer in accordance with the dictates of
the present owner, Mr. William 11.
DeT’orest, a silk merchant, who secured
tract some years ago.
Of all the historic plots that have
made some nooks and corners on Man
hattan Island famous, probaly none was
selected with more cure and circumspec
tion as to topography, immediate sur
roundings and future prosjiects than
this identical Hamilton Grange, so chris
tened by the original purchaser, Wash
ington's bosom friend, Alexander Ham
ilton.
This statesman of the old time selected
the twenty odd acres of land because
there a grand view of the Hudson, to the
westward, could be had even then. To
the south was the then small city, miles
away; and in the southeast the Long
Island hills clearly marked the horizon.
A post road to Boston covered one of
the corners of the estate, and there was
also a stop]ling place for the stages that
carried the mails to New England.
Roger Morris residence was in sight
from this elevation; so was the residence
of Gen. Gates, the captor of Burgovne,
on the Rose Hill Farm, to the eastward.
Mhcn, in 1802, Alexander Hamilton
erected the mansion, so well known for
its classic style of architecture, he plan
ted near that mansion thirteen trees
with liis own hand, to symbolize the or
iginal thirteen States' of the Lnion.
These trees have been surrounded with
a fence by the present owner, Mr. DeFor
esf, but whether they will be retained or
destroyed by the onward march that
commands the sale of the surrounding
acres and lots is us yet a subject of doubt
and speculation.
It is only a few years ago that the
present owner acquired possession of
this entire Hamilton Grange. Since t hat
time the grounds have been laid out in
street: blocks, terraces and lots, and
Hamilton terrace is now considered as
being the eastern adjunct of Convent
avenue. Seventeen houses have already
been constructed there, and further im
provements on the various streets, also
along Tenth avenue, are now under way.
Peculiar
In the combination, proportion and prep
aration of its ingredients, Hood’s Sarsa
parilla accomplishes cures where other
preparations entirely fail. Peculiar in its
good name at home, which is a “tower of
strength abroad,’’ peculiar in the phe
nomenal sales it has attained, Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is tlit* most successful medi
cine for purifying the blood, giving
strenth and creating appetite.
Speaking of Miss Elmore’s reception at
Montgomery, the Advertiser says:
“The presentation of a floral offering
in a speech by Mr. Jno. M Caldwell, oj
Jacksonville, the honors paid her by
Governor Cobb and all State officers,
Legislature, and ladies of Montgomery,
ww a tribute to her talent and beauty,
and evidence of the pride they, her old
friends, had in her.” •
A GEORGIA ROMANCE
A Gp-1 Wlio Stood by Her Lover Under Dif
ficulties.
Savannah Times.]
The Circuit Court of Calhoun county,
recently convened, has had the climax of
a romance at the close of its sesson. The
last case on the docket was that of the
State against Robert and Simon Wood
ard, who were indicted for the murder of
Archie Douglass, an old man who lived
eight miles east of this place on the
Vaim’s Mill road.
In June of last year Bob Woodard, a
youth of 20 years of age, began paying
court to Alice Douglass, a niece of the
Archie Douglass who was Killed. He
soon gained her affection, and the two,
hand in hand, approached the uncle, ask
ing his consent to an early marriage.
Douglass immediately flew into a passion
and ordered the young man to leave the
house, saying at the same time:
“Bob Woodard, 1 have told you never
to darken my door, and you heed my
words, for if you ever attempt to see or
have any communication with Alice, I'll
shoot you on sight."
This was a total surprise to the young
couple, who had anticipated no trouble
in gaining rhe old mail's consent. An
elopement was soon planned.
The young lover, accompanied by bis
brother Simon and a friend, came to
town on the 26th of August, secured a
marriage license, and waiting until night
rode out to Douglass’ residence. On
nearing the gate Bob gave the signal
agreed on, but as no answer was returned
Simon, his brother, volunteered to creep
around to the girl's window and see what
was the matter. The young man had
not taken a dozen steps before Archie
Douglass stepped from the shadows of
the house and w ithout speaking present
ed a double barreled shot gun full at his
breast and pulled the fatal trigger. The
The gun missed fire, and before Douglass
could try the other barrel the young man
had drawn a revolver and sent a bullet
th rough his heart. Douglass sank to the
ground dead, and the young men mount
ed their horses, rode back to town and
surrendered themselves.
When court came on a change of venue
was taken to Calhoun county. This de
layed the trial for a year, and it was not
until this term the boys had to answer
the charge of murder in the first degree.
Title jury brought in a verdict of justifia
ble homicide, and the two brothers were
discharged.
Immediately Bob Woodward arose
from hits seat, made his way through the
crowd of spectators to where a veiled fe
male sat, and, extending his arm to her.
led her back with him until both were
facing the Judge, when, Woodward pre
senting the license he had purchased a
vear before asked to be married. The
Judge soon tied the knot, and the young
couple, accompanied by a cheering mob,
repaired to their home.

Tin* Duty of the Clergy.
Savannah Turn's,]
The boldness with which the lenders of
the Personal Liberty Leage in New York
are making their uttaeks on some of the
most valued of American institutions has
aroused the clergy of that city. One of
the propositions of the advocates of
“Personal Lilierty" is that all the sa
loons shall have the privilege of doing
business on Sundays after 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. Such a privilege as this
would of course destroy the sanctity of
the day as much as if they were o|m*ii tin*
whole day long. It is not surprising,
therefore, that even in New York, with
all its mixed and foreign (Mipnlation.
there should lie strong indignation
against the proposition. Then* is still in
that city a very large proportion of citi
zens who have not y et lost their inborn
American respect for the Sabbath and
all that it implies.
The leading clergymen of New York city
including such men as Bishop Potter, Dr.
John Hall, I)r. Virgin, Dr. McArthur, Dr.
Wenncr, Dr. Ormiston and Dr. Eaton,
each of whom represents one of the great
Protestant denominations, have, there
fore, resolved to make a stand in favor of
the observance of the Sunday laws. It is
understood that they will also have the
co-operation of the divines of the Roman
Catholic Church. They have pledged
themselves to labor for the defeat of ev
ery candidate tor the Legislature who
will not promise “to defend the Lord s
day against the relaxation of the present
laws for its maintenance." They have
been forced into this position by activity
and energy with which the enemies of law
and order in that city and in other parts
of New York State are prosecuting their
schemes for the overthrow of the Sunday
laws and the modification of those con
cerning the sale of liquor.
What the Personal Liberty Leagues
are doing in New York is what the Per
sonal Liberty Leagues in Pennsylvania
are also doing. It is true that there is
no Legislature in Pennsylvania to Is*
elected this year, but the movement
which they have already started contem
plates the ultimate capture of the law
making body at Harrisburg, as that in
New York aims at controlling the law
making body at Albany. The proposi
tion to open every saloon in New York
city and State after 2 o'clock on Sundays
has not. been formulated in so many
words by the Personal Liberty leagues
in Pennsylvania, but nevertheless that
will be in substance the character of the
bill which they will ask the next Legisla
ture in the Quaker State to enact. There
is not now, as there has been heretofore,
any disguise or evasion in milking known
the purposes of this movement. The in
tention to break down the American Sab
bath is proclaimed with bold and defiant
ostentation. The result is that every
man who hates religion, who is restless
under the rational restraints of the first
day of the week, or who is anxious to
beat down the influence of the virtuous
and respect able classes of the community
in tin* administration of the laws in grav
itating toward the Personal Liberty
Leagues and decrying the laws that keep
vice and drunkenness within bounds.
The splendid array of New York clergy
men who have organized in defense of the
Sabbath should be the nucleus of a gener
al counter movement against the Person
al Liberty Leagues. The new issue is
one which the pulpit must play a leading
part in deciding. We ordinarily have no
sympathy with clergymen who force
themselves into the arena of political dis
cussion, but this question is not only one
which the clergy can take up naturally
and consistently, but one which it is their
duty to agitate from the side of law, or
der ami public morality. It is their op
portuniiy to strike a great blow in behalf
of our religious and social system.
How to Run a Town.
Either run it with vim or sell out and
leave it. Men who are always trying to
get out of business will never do much to
build up a towir. One or two things
must be done—run the. thing for all it is
worth, get up steam and keep it or quit
the whole thing, slide out anil let nature
take its course. If you want business to
come to your town, encourage those who
do come. If you want a prosperous
town where the people can come who are
disposed to make homes, then do away
with and bury from sight all jealousy
and spite, work no more for a few indi
viduals, but all work together for a com
mon prosperity and mutual benefit.
Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up your
sleeves and go to work. Don’t work
with fear anil trembling, but take it for
granted that blood will tell. Leave
results to themselves; borrow no trouble,
but all unite to make it the biggest kind
of a town. Goto work!—Ex.

A. J. Hitchcock.
He was a native of Georgia, and came
to Texas between 1830-80, and fought
bravely in the cause for independence of
Mexico (1835-37). He survived the war
and took up his abode in a hotel which
was burned, and he perisaed in the
flames. If his relatives in Georgia will
communicate with Joseph A. Creech,
Raleigh, Noith Carolina, they can learn
information of value.
The mineral exhibits of Georgia and
Alabama, at the Atlanta fair, attract
perhaps more of the attention of visitors
from the North and West than anything
else shown. As much as lias been said
of late about our resources iu this line,
these visitors and even our ow n people
were unprepared to witness such a mar
velous display. These exhibits alone will
b ■ worth millions to our section.
Japanese Wooden Shoes.
In Japan children’s shoes are made of
blocks of wood secured with cords. The
stocking resembles a mitten, having a
separate place for the great toe. As these
shoes are lilted only by the toes, the
heels make a rattling sound as tlieir own
ers walk, which is quite stunning in a
crowd. They are not worn in the bouse,
as they would injure the soft straw* mats
on the floor. You leave your slioes'at
the door. Every house is built with refer
ence to the number of mats required for
the floors, each room having from eight
to sixteen, and in taking lodgings you
pay so much for a mat. They think it
extravagant in us to require a whole
room to ourselves.
The Japanese shoe gives perfect free
dom to the foot. The beauty of the hu
man foot is only seen in the Japanese.
They have no corns, no ingrowing nails,
no distorted joints. Our toes are cramped
until they are deformed and are In danger
of extinction. They have the full use of
their toes, and to them they are almost
like fingers. Nearly every mechanic
makes use of his toes in holding his work.
Every toe is fully developed. Their shoes
cost one penny and last six months,—
