destruction, Mr.. Jones found fuse
about two feet long that had belonged to
q dynamite cartridge. It was charred by
the fire that had touched off the car
fridge. It is not known how the explo.
sive was put in the house nor by whom,
but it Is evidently done to intimidate the
preacher. Mr.. Jones took the matter
coolly, and did not allude to it in any Of
the services to-day. In private conver-
sation he said he'd as soon 60 to heaven
by the dynamite route as any other if it
should be necessary.
THE TENT BLOWN DOWN.
At $50 p. m. bus load of people on
their way to the gospel tent heard cries
of "tent blown down; no meeting to-.
night" This wss easy to believe, as q
fearful storm had been and was still
raging. Continuous rain had caused
many to remain at the lent for the night
service. Some had come early and 9th.
ers were entering the tent, while those
already assembled were singing, when
A FEARFUL GUST OF WIND,
with torrents of rain, seemed to burst
right over the great tent. The poles and
ropes to the leeward gave way, and in an
instant the people saw the rain drenched
canvas beginning to settle gradually
down upon them. 1t seemed to pause
and hover moment, and the tall poles
swayed downward.
THE GREAT ROPES SNAPPED
like thread, and the tent with all its rig.
ging and paraphernalia settled down like
q great bird on its nest, covering lamps,
pulpit and congregation under its vast
folds. Three hundred people, most Of
them women and children, who but q
moment before felt as secure from the
raging elements as if they were under
their own roofs, rose to their;feet
sHRIEKING AND RUNNING
hither and yon among the sea of plank
seats. The scene was indescribable.
The widest confusion reigned with terri
fed children, clinging to their flying
parents. Hats, shawls and other light
articles were blowing about like. chaff,
and all were swept out into the storm
and darkness. Two score of lamps, most
of them electric burners, were swept from
their fastenings and burst into one wild
glare that illumined the darkness for an
instant and then fell into the mass of dry
straw that covered every foot of ground
under the tent. This caught and
WOULD HAVE CONSUMED ALL
if the rain had not drenched every stitch
of canvass that covered it. Many were
unable to get out till the tent had set
tied and then ripped openings in the tent
through which they escaped into the
binding darkness, drenching rain and
driving wind without. The egress of the
people was greatly impede by the seats
and the tangled ropes. Fortunately no
one, so far as known, was seriously
injured, though many are scratched and
bruised. All were terribly frightened.
Eye witnesses say it looked as if one of
SAM JoNEs's THREATENED JUDGMENTS
had fallen on them, and if the end of the
world had really come greater fright,
confusion and CONSERVATION could not
have prevailed. The tent was insured
against fire, but the extent of the dam
age from that cause seems slight though
four large street lamps exploded when
they were dashed from their post. The
damage otherwise cannot now be estima.

The cause Of his being In that recum-

He had gone to Lesterville OH Monday

Though they succeeded In trading

Dear Little Hands.

Dear little hands, loved them so!
And now they are lying under the snow
Under the snow, so cold and white,
| cannot see them, or touch them tonight.
They are quiet and still at last, ah me!
How busy and restless they used to be!
But now they can never reach up through
the snow,
Dear little hands, loved them so!
Dear little hands, miss them so!
All through the day, wherever GO
All through the night, how lonely it seems,
For no little hands wake me out of my
dreams,
l miss them all through the weary hours,
| miss them as others miss sunshine and
flowers;
Day time, or night time, wherever go,
Dear little hands, miss them so!
Dear little hands, they have gone from me
now,
Never again will they rest on my brow
Never again smooth my sorrowful face,
Never clasp me in childish embrace.
And now my forehead grows wrlnkled with
care,
Thinking of little hands once resting there,
But know in happier, heayenlier cline,
Dear little hands will clasp you sometime.
Dear little hands, when the Master shall
call
pll welcome the summons that comes to us
all.
When my feet touch the waters SO dark and
so cold,
And l catch my first glimpse of the City Of
Gold,
Ii 1 keep my eyes fixed on the heavenly
gate,
Over the tide where the white robed ones
wait,
Shall I know you, 1 wonder, among the
bright bands
Will YOU beckon me over, oh! dear little
hands? MAMMA.

The following Is synorsis AZ !. lergthv -.
ssc'e which appeared in the Chicago Tribune
consisting Of interviews Of Its reporters with
the leading draft horse dealers of America.

The Tribune reporters were instructed to
procure opinions as to the relative merits Of
the different breeds of draft horses being
kets. The experience Of the dealers who sell
perhaps 10000 horses annually directly to
those who buy them to wear out was thus
obtained. This Information Is Of immense
value to those engaged in breeding horses.
Mr.. I. 81. Dahlman. OF New York City said:
II handle between 1900 and 10000 horses
annually. OF the draft horses handle, the
greater portion-nearly all are Norman.

e. & H. Hayman, East oath Street, New
York city said: 1--WE handle about 1900
horses year, principally draft horses OF all
kinds-French, elydesdale, English and Bel
gian. We handle more of the French than
of any the other breed. They have more en-
dnrance and are the best dispositioned hors-
es we have. They mature sooner and are
ready for the market younger than the other
breeds. The Clydesdales are not so well
shaped nor are their feet SO good. We adj
wise the farmers of the west to breed to the
finest and best bred Percherons to be found"
The above opinions were the expressions
of all the other dealers interviewed, with one
or two exceptions. The object OF all farmers

He, first, however, desires to say to
a correspondent in last weeks paper,
that it was not especially the intent OF
the article heretofore published to show
the relation between this religion and
those which preceded it, though at
some future day the attempt may be
made.
In the early part of the fifteenth GEN.
tury the religion of Mohammed was
that of the the State, of the ruling
caste in the richest portion of the then
known world; Spain, what the Romans
called Africa, Egypt, Greece, Turkey,
which was then more extensive than
now, the islands of the archipelago, Asia
Minor, Armenia to beyond the Caspian,
Syria, Palestine, Persia and India, and
all the country to the Chinese wall,
and India to the straits of Coromandel,
besides Arabia-all were subjact to the
followers of the "camel-driver" of the
desert. Not simply conforming out
wardly to the rights of their religion
and not actually living up to its doc
trines, as is now too often the case
among Christians; not content with
bowing in the direction of Mecca at
the Muezzin's call to prayers, they
were still apostles of their faith. and
right potent ones, too; Musselmen have
always been, in their religion, patterns
by whom we might amend our selves,
in sobriety and dignity of
life.
