BO SYMPATHY Sam Jones Never Saw Louisville's Equal. CANT BE SQUELCHED. THOUGH ENCOTJBAGED IN WORK BT LETTER RECEIVED. STRONG SERMON AT MGHT. Pays a Tribute To ths Preachers and Says They Girdle the Earth.

MAKES AN EARNEST APPEAL. In the absence of the Rev. George R. Stuart, Sam Jones preached two ser (none yesterday, one at Broadway Methodist church and another under the tent. The afternoon 'Krmoo devoted largely to an article In one of the new.

papers. In which it said that a church member had asked, that the pa per squelch Mr. Jon en. Ttie night serv- fce was taken up with a stirring: sermon, preached largely alone orthodox lines, but preached with enthusiasm. During- one of his sermons.

Sir. Jonea said he had received less sympathy in Louisville than In any other place or at any time during; bis twenty-seven years In the ministry, and he said -with feeling; that bis heart yearned for sympa-. thy. In the afternoon he took for his text the following; words: the coppersmith, did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works." He said: "A newspaper in this town said that prominent church people had been around to begging him to Jump on Bam Jones. I have preached the Gospel over forty States of this Union, and that is the first time that ever happened.

The idea of a preacher, a cowardly scoundrel, slipping around to a little editor and begging him to Jump on Sam Jones! He wanted to squelch roe. -If be bad any sense be would know that can't be done; I ain't squelchable. brethren: I am absolutely unsquelcha-ble. man who stands on the side of God and right is as invulnerable as the God who made him. The idea of at man who professes to be a Christian going around to a little newspaper editor, begging him to squelch me.

Did you ver see a little gnat, light on an ox's born and squelch him? 'Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; the Lord reward him according to bis works. This is the most fearful prayer that ever came from the Hps of PauL "I would not give this letter in. my hand for ten thousand of the little coppersmiths. It is written by as sweet a woman and as suffering a heart as God ever made. Hear what she says; 'Dear 'Brother Jones: Tou spoke Uut night of the silent good being dune In the meetings: there- are 'really more near tragedies being enacted under your tent than you can ever picture to your audiences.

Years ago there was a happy home out In KentucKy, where you have often p'-jached. But the demon of drink entered, and the mother and her children were driven out. This great city has been the battle-ground of that mother. For. eighteen or twenty years a prayer has gone up from a bleeding heart for the wretched outcast, wherever he might sitting.

Last night you gave your invitation, and the youngest of my children, a daughter of fourteen years, threw her arms around my neck, and said: Mother, there goes papa." Whom did I 1 see but the shadow of a ruined man, not yet so low but that his soul mav yet be saved an1 may meet the noble Christian father and mother in a better land, and for the sake of theae two Christian par. ecus of his we do yet pray for him. "One little piece of paper like that and the gleam of hope that came to her last night this Is pay enough. God help me to do that sort of work while others whine around and say squelch him. 'At tny first answer no man stood by I am willing to stand by my self; I have done it.

I have done so when seemed that the whole business was against me, church and world, angels and everything. The devil tried to make me think that even my own wife and children had lost sympathy for me, but, blessed be God, when the smcke of battle blew away, there stood God and men and angels all around me. You can fight by yourself If you are on the right skie. "In the fifty-second year of tny Ufa and the twenty-seventh year of "my ministry I have received less sympathy Hi Louisville than In any town, city or place to which I ever worked, and my heart yearns for sympathy." Speaking of those who try to undermine a man's reputation. Mr.

Jones went on to say: "The devil has some workers who do It by writing. One little Alexander overshot himself yesterday. Some one said bis dog had been in bad company because he had been at my meeting, and you know that soma of the sweetest women and noblest men of this town were under that tent. In the first place, no one ever said It, and In the second, a dog is a Christian gentleman beside the fellow who wrote it." Mr. Jones closed by saying: "There Is another thing I feel good about.

I Just go about feeling In humor with everybody. I get mad sometimes during the day, but you see trie about sundown, and I am all right. Tou will find me as gentle as a GLOBIES OF THE BIBLE. Earn est. Appeal Made By, Sam Jonea Last Evening.

At night Mr. Jones asked that every one pray for the success of the revivals now going on, and then preached from Provelbs Si, 26, "Because I bave called and ye hare refused, I bave stretched out my hand and no man regard It; I also will laugh at your calamities. I will mock when your fear cometh." He said if people would unstop their ears and unseai their eyes many more of the good things provided for man by God would become apparent. Every object in nature has some prominence and some significance to people If they could only see It, he AH EXPERT'S DISCOVERY.

Not only do the objects of nature point out a better way to live, but even men's vocations have within themselves those features which call men to a better living.

"I know- God is in earnest la His 'efforts to save fallen sinners like you and me." said he. "Jesus preached to men Himself, and when He preached His own gospel to men He said: 'It is expedient for you that I shall go to My Father, for then the Spirit shall But for the spirit coming to earth the great sacrifice of Jesus would have come to naught. Jesus on the- cross was the dim outline of a sacrifice that 'the world could not conceive until the Days of Pentecost. From that day to this blessed hour the Holy Ghost baa been shining on the cross to save each one of us sinners. If the good spirit knocks at your heart open to it and let it enter.

"I fear that the church does not know the Holy Ghost as it should. It is the influence which ia in the world to convict mankind, of its sins. I hope this Influence may be with us here to-night. If this spirit is welcomed salvation will come to this city and it means life to every wayward man.

"Brother. I say to the audience tonight, if I had the Bible In my band tonight that my mother gave me, and if I could bold It ud so that ail the 1.400.- 00.000 men of this earth could see, I would say that it is more precious to me than all -the gems and all the gold on earth. "No boy ever gave pain to a moth er's heart if he followed the blessed precepts of the divine Book. No man had a ruined home or a heart-broken wife who followed the light which shines out from the Holy Bible. "I bless God to-day for every faith ful and true pastor who stands to preach, and we may criticise them as we wilt I never beard any man preach, no matter who he was.

who did not preach truth enough to save a thousand, sinners like us. Preachers have so multiplied that one can stand here to-day and another can stand within reach of his voice, and another within reach of his voice, until we can girdle the world with our sermons. "Oh. brother, what a world this would be if we could drive out, everything that hurts my bay. that hurts your boy.

Then our boys would be sober, our daughters wculd be princesses. Thousands would be converted to God. and the devil would bid this city good-bye." "If the angels could carry back th news to heaven In June that 10,004 souls had been converted to God in Louisville, would not that be most glorious news? There Isn't a saloon-keeper or distiller or debauchee In this city of Louisville that I wouldn't kneel down by and pray God to give him as good a home in heaven aa I would want my wife and daughters to bave. "We have passed through a long. dark period.

There is scarcely a churchv tn this country whlcn nas held Us own. I trust this has been the calm before the cyclone of religious revival. Many a mothers son has been ruined, many a home has been debauched In this sin- ridden city, and yet this city has now become the storm center of religious works." Mr. Jones- said the beginning was promising, and he hoped that the end would be such as all Christians might be proud and thankful for. When he finished bis sermon he asked those who felt moved to advance and take his band, and many responded.

FTXIFINOS ABOUT TO SPLIT.

Story That Bival Commands Cams Hear Battle. New Tork, May The Journal prints the following dispatch from Manila: Only the entreaties of Aguinaldo last Tuesday, a civil war between the forces ot his two rival Generals. Luna and Mascardo. They were actually drawn up in battle array. This and a positive confirmation of the news that Luna was dangerously wounded in the shoulder In the battle of 6t-Thomas are the most important items of intelligence brought to-day by the army gunboats Laguna de Bay and Cavalon-ga, which returned to-day from a brisk expedition up the San Fernando river.

It was immediately before the battle ot St. Tomaa that the insurgents so nearly arrived at the point of beginning to exterminate one another. Gen. Luna, when he saw that an engagement with the American troops was inevitable, sent back an aide post haste to Bacolor, where Mascardo was, demanding re-enforcements. Mascardo's reply was that he would take orders from no on but Aguinaldo.

This defiance so infuriated Luna that in spite of the Impending conflict with the common enemy he took 1.500 of his soldiers and made a forced march to Hin3(or, intending chastising bis com-rau in arms. Mascardo was nothing loath to tight it out, and ordered his command into line of battle. Shouts of hatred and defiance were heard on both sides. Outside the opposing forces the insurgent camp was all confusion. Aguinaldo.

terrified by the situation, ordered his chief of staff. Col. Arguelea, to make peace at all hazards. The soldiers had loaded their pieces and were waiting for orders to begin the onslaught when Argueles galloped between the lines frantically waving a flag of truce. There was ah angry conference between him and the rival Generals, Aguinaldo was drawn into It With ail the.

Intensity at his command, he begged" Luna and Mascardo not to plunge the Filipino forces Into civil strife at a time when they were already broken and demoralised by successive defeats at the hands of the Americans. His entreaties prevailed for the time being. Luna sullenly returned to the front, after the commanding General had provided him with re-enforcements and ordered Mascardo to te court-martialed for not having sent thm at first. The battle of Saint Tomaa followed, and Luna, on whose ferocity In the field Aguinaldo placed his chief reliance, received wounds that will surely disable him for the rest of the campaign, and may cause his death.

we'll say. There's the cost of the- plantation on wolc-h It was raised. Then-the cost of the labor in planting, picking and hauling. It was brought across on a ship. You can add to the cost of your plantation the cost of the ship, appliances and tools for building.

Then comes the machinery, the crew to man the ship and officers to fvsrl a command her. To secure that ship's safety, surveys have been made, charts drawn, beacons erected.

It is only ty such computations as these that we are able to realise that "it la getting to be A POOR MAN'S WORLD, world In which the very luxuries of life are practically delivered at the door of the workman's cottage, by millionaire servants.

To-day. knowledge knocks at every cottage door. The Chautauquan system of education by correspondence has placed the educational ability ot- the noted professors of learning at tha service of those who live in remote localities, far from college and university. The natural tendency of this correspondence method of teaching has been to strip away all the useless growths which have attached themselves to learning, like fungi to a tree. It Is in the application of a correspondence method to medical treatment that this result is most marked.

All the old medical hocus pocus is cast aside and medical treatment comes down to plain facts and simple necessities. -It is no wonder that that class of practitioners whose hold upon popular esteem depends so much upon the mysteries of the craft, sneer at the idea of being "cured by Tet that Is only a crude way of stating the fact that men and women are "doctored" by physicians, as they are taught by professors at a distance. A REMARKABLE ILLUSTRATION of the practicability of this method of tr.oiiTi.iit found in the oractlce of Doctor R-'V. Pierce. The Doctor Is well known throughout the country aa a specialist and as the chief consulting rlf fh Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo.

neree is. mm Viz. a-ivea free medical advice by correspondence. And the new method' of correspondence is Just as successful in medical treatment as in literary teaching, in breaking down the old fungus growths of practice. WOMEN ARB GRATEFUL Take as one example, which has brought thousands of letters of thanks from grateful women the fact that Dr.

Pierce's treatment by correspondence does away with the unpleasant questionings. Indelicate examinations and offensive local treatments to which women suffering from diseases peculiar to their sex have heretofore been sub jected by local practitioners, ins success of this method as practiced by a skillful, scientific man proves how unnecessary it generally is to subject a woman to treatment so repulsive to her sense of modesty. The success of Dr. Pierce is due to specialism: the constant study of one class of diseases, and the daily treatment of them for more than thirty years. The medical specialist begins with the studies which are the foundation of medical knowledge.

The astronomer casts worlds into the balance and weighs them. He carries mathematics to their ultimate power. But he began his anowieoge witn tne multiplication table. Thre were twen ty others tn tne cinss witn mm wno attained that same knowledge of multi plication and carried It far enough to weigh tea and coffee. But they.

can no more compute the weight of a world bv their simple arithmetic than they could weigh a world In their counter scales. Dr. Pierce has simply carried to its extreme possibility the study of disease which he has made in common with all medical students. The others have been content to apply their studies In limited spheres, while tne. am Bit ion of Dr.

Pierce has urged him to study the MYSTERIES AND MARVELS of. disease. Tha very desire, for. such a Study and the capacity to carry It on Imply the possession of that' divine gift, which, for wantof a better word, we call genius. That same genius which originated new methods of treatment is marked In the selection of the medical staff with which Dr.

Pierce has surroundc-d himself. Each member of the staff is. of course, a graduated physician. But he Is more than this. Each of these physicians owes his position on Dr.

Pierces staff to some special acquirement and qualification which especially fits to carry out faithfully and successfully the original methods of treatment devised by Dr. Pierce. The result Is a concentration and combination of medical knowledge and surgical skill which hardly ever fail of success, even when the case Is chronic and a dangerous disease seems firmly intrenched in the Cme class of cures is ePclny -worthy. The sympathies of Dr. Pierce have always gone out to those In yll- lage.

town and hamlet, who were at the mercy of practitioners liable to misunderstand the symptoms of disease. Thousands of letters are on file which testify that the local doctor had pronounced the disease to be consumption and given up the case as incurable, and st last the patient has come Dr. Pierce and been absolutely cured by that famous specific for weak lungs. Dr Pierce Golden Medical Discovery. mm 'ji.

Does this Imply that Dr. Pierce claims to cure consumption? It implies nothing. It simply asserts that Dr. Pierce haa cured again and again cases which the other doctors have pronounced to be consumption and Incurable. It is a certain thing that when there has been obstinate cough, emaciation, bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, night sweats, and all the conditions which, if neglected or unskillfully treated, lead up to consumption, a complete cure has been effected by "Golden Medical Discovery." and the general treatment suggested by Dr.

Pierce in his free letters of advice. It is not to be forgotten that this success depends, upon skill, not upon correspondence only. Profound medical skill is pre-requislte to the successful treatment of lung diseases as -well as of those disease of women, such as irregularities, ulceration, inflammation, debilitating drains and bearing down pains, forms of disease in the treatment of which Dr. Pierce has been so signally successful by means of his "Favorite Prescription" and the special health instruction given to women by letter. IMITATIONS WHICH DO NOT IMITATE.

There are many who have imitated Dr. Pierce's methods who cannot imitate bis cures. They are not doctors. They do not claim to They keep within the law. But they word their advertisements ingeniously to convey the idea that they are doctors.

They know nothing of medicine, yet they offer medical advice. Sometimes the device Is adopted-of raising great cry of "write to a woman," forgetting at the time to state that the "woman" Is not a doctor. It is patent to anyone that a woman who 1s not a doctor is just as Incapable of treating' disease as a man who is not a doctor. It is to a doctor's training and experience in woman's diseases that a woman looks for safety, and there is no woman who -would not think It more modest to-tell her taleof suffering to a man who wsa a physician than to a woman who was not. The only safe plan tn pursue Is to Investigate these offers.

Such investigation will show that there Is no other medical Institution in the United Rtates, planned on the broad lines of the World's Dispensary Medical Association and Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In. stitute. -It is a special feature nf this free consultation by letter that the patient's feelings are always considered. The same privacy is observed as in a. verbal -consultation.

Each letter is read In private, answered In private, and the answer closely sealed in an envelope bearing no advertisement or other printing upon It. Do not hesitate If you are sick to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo.

A. M. E. church, at Ninth and Walnut streets. his lecture on the advancement and future of his race, Dr.

Smith referred to the white people as "John" and to the negroes as "Tom," for the sake of brevity and to generalize. Besides his natural eloquence and conciseness, the lecturer early in his discourse showed a wide knowledge and complete familiarity with the subject matter. He went back to the ante-bUum days of slavery and described at length the various conditions that marked the progress of his The future of the negro, he said, depended upon the extent to which he developed his Industry. The negro, he, warned, should not strive so much to seek office in competition with white men. On the other hand, they should learn how to better cultivate the soil and become efficient in the various kinds of manual labor.

Dr, Smith was formerly a school teacher in this State. He was a delegate to the first State convention of colored men in Kentucky, and for two year was a' memlwrof the Alabama House of Representatives.
