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. “I don’t know as 1 am sticking to my subject, but 1 will stick to my crowd any how. If God Almighty had his rights in ESTABLISHED —BY — R. H. Jones —IN— -1853. Birmingham to-day, his laborers could put their* hands on $5,000,000. He is that much behind, and you are (tartly to blame for it, old coon. Now, some one will say: “Bam Jones has gone to using slang." Well, go and look in a glassaud you will see as good a one as you ever saw. A coon will eat anything, but no one can eat a coon. If the influences of Birmingham are allowed to perform their deadly work, they will get your boys SHIV. 1 EIRE YOU I*KOI*EK 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 SAM JONES PREACHED FOR MONEY. Yes, and if I had been as big a liar and dog as you are. I would have l>een as rich as cream, if every wife's husband would do the clean thing we could raise SIOO,OOO right now. and if some women’s husbands should do the clean thing they would die right off. Well, do it, old man, and die. We will pay your funeral ex penses. If l was a minister here 1 would pound it to the mayor and other city officials and compel them to enforce the laws or beat them for re-election. If you want to call the unurchists together beat the drums in the bar-rooms. You needn't shake your head and say that you didn’t know the bar-rooms were open to-day. YOU 11D KNOW IT, and saw them open as you were coming to this place. If I lived here l would give half l made until my children were pro tected from the evil influences which now surrounds yours. lam here in the interest of the Y. M. ('. A; They need help. If you have no sons, others have who will marry your daughters. Rake hell with a fine tooth comb and you will find nothing so worth less as a drunken, no account son-in-law. Help them to save the sons who may some day marry your daughters. The 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 as (<oon as the collection commences. 1 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.

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. Cure for Sick Headache.
