HOLINESS BAND AFTER EDITORS.
They Pray for Bob White to be Struck
by Lightning.

Special Dispatch to the Giobe-Democrat.
CENTRALIA, Mo-, August 3.-We are
at present enjoying religious sensation
which draws almost as well as the famed
Sam Jones did in the upper counties.
The "Holiness" or "Sanctihed" people
have pitched their tents in our midst, and
proclaim that they have come to stay
until the last sinner has been gathered in.
They have erected two mammoth
pavilions in the heart of the city, re-
sembling circus tents, which they
designate as tabernacles. Near by is a
large tent for eating and cooking pur-
poses, while surrounding are groups of
smaller tents for sleeping purposes.
Yesterday the tabernacles were literally
packed with dense mass of humanity,
while outside the pressure was tremen-
dous. Many people attend from mere
curiosity, others to investigate the new
gospel, which proclaims that no one who
does not embrace this doctrine can enter
the kingdom of Heaven, and that there is
no true religion except this sanctification
or holiness. The meetings are conducted
on the high-pressure principle. In place
Of logical arguments, the exhorters appeal
directly to the emotional sensibilities of
the audience. The chief object seems to
be to work up a kind of wild religious
enthusiasm, whichis intensified by shout
ing, singing and Misunderstanding until peo-
pie are almost frantic with excitement,
many shouting until they froth at the
mouth and drop down completely ex-
hausted. The preachers, male and
female, pass through the crowd shaking
hands right and left, and once they gel
hold of an impressible subject they hana
on until he or she is so overcome thai
the rest is easy. Rev. Allen assisted by !
band of males and females, is CONDUCTING
the meeting. The women preach as wei
as the men and with equal success. Or

The Mexican Orchestra.

The unusually intelligent and criti
cal audience that assembled at the
Opera House last night to hear the
Mexican Orchestra, were afforded a
grand treat. There has been moth
ing to compare with this orchestra
ever heard in Evansville. It is the
perfection of melody, with all its
lights and shades. The writer can
not find words to describe the beau
ty Of the music made by these typical
Mexicans. The playing on the vio-
lin by Senor A. Figueroa set the
audience almost wild with delight.
He had to pay a double encore.
Those who have heard Wilhelmj, Ole
Bull or Reminiji, will probably say
they would rather hear Senior Fig
ueroa. Not a sheet of music is used
by the orchestra, but under the lead
ership of Senor Curti, they give the
numbers in the most perfect time,
descending from the heaviest forte
to the softest pianissimo with q
smoothness and sweetness that can
only be appreciated by those who
heard them. The applause was hearty
and spontaneous throughout. The
Public, Evansville, Ind, April 27.

The Mexico Fair,

The fair which commences on the

in North Missouri. Fine stock is ar
irving every day by the car load from

people will be here is foregone con-
clusion. Our merchants and business
men are making big preparations for
them and among the many enterpris-
ing firms is Pollard's Jea0eleTy House
which has just been painted up and
remodeled and this week they are
busy receiving goods from the east

low that they say will astonish all
their customers. This house is enter.

Mastheaded by a Fish.

Here's an old acquaintance, " said
my friend. as we stood looking at the
fish display of Commissioner Black
ford, pointing out u parti-colored
eel-like fish several feet long and of
most villainous aspect. In form it re-
sembled the typical sea-serpent that
figures in the old works OF Pontoppi-
dan and others. The body was high,
the mouth large, and in it appeared q
most formidable array Of teeth.
That is the famous, or rather in
famous, murray OF the south, cx-
claimed my companion. giving the
creature a spitcful dig. Its rs much
OF a sea-serpcnt as ! ever want to see,
and l must tell you good joke on my
self in which one of these brutes played
4 prominent part. Some years ago,
when | began spending my winters in
Florida, | devoted almost my entire
time to fishing fishing, you know
and almost the first fish that caught
me was one of these murrays. This is
q mcdium-sized one. They attain in
tic Bahamas and around Cuba a
length of four or five feet, and, being
proportlonately stout, present formi-
dabie appearance. One day | was
fishing oil the reef, in about five faith
oms, and had been having fine luck
with grunts and yellow-tails, when
suddenly | had bite that brought me
to my feet. hauled the fish and the
fish hauled me, and after ten minutes
hard work ! had him at the surface,
and, with u tremendous jerk, landed,
not fish, but one of these murrays-a
rouser. | was amazed as much as the
murray.
'No sooner did it feel itself in the
boat than it opened its cavernous
mouth and made rush for me. There
were but two methods OF escape open
to me, one to jump overheard and the
other to climb the small mast of my
boat | chose the latter, and as the
murray reached tho spot | just cleared
it, and there was in the attitude gem
orally known as shining. The murray
made the circuit of the boat several
times, dragging the line, thrashing the
oars about, and darling its ugly head
in my direction at every move / made.
1t was impossible, however, to hold
such a position long, and | was about
considering the possibilities of jumping
into the water and swimming to the
reef when the creature wriggled over
board. then Slid down and cut the
line. When | got ashore my friends
asked mo what was shining the
mast of the dingy for. They had been
watching me through spy-glass. l
told them | had been clearing the hall
yards. If they had ever got hold OF it
that had been there for ten minutes
to get away from that green-hued eel,
| should never heard the last of it. -

Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger of the public health from
the indiscriminate use of the many lime
and alum baking powders of commerce
has been SO fully exposed that every
body desires TO avoid them. As fore
warned is forearmed,n housekeepers
will thank us for apprising them of the
special efforts at present being made to
dispose OF such powders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the worst
OF these powders are now going from
house to house, trying by means Of
trick. or so-called test. with heat and
water. to show that their article is as
good as the Royal Baking Powder, max
ing the comparison with this brand be-
cause everybody recognizes it to be alb
solutely pure and wholesome, the OBJ
Ject, OF course, being to supply their
own goods in place of the Royal, which
housekeepers have for so many years
relied upon to puff up the morning bis
cult, and TO make the light, palatable,
and wholesome roll, cake, and pastry
for which it is famous.
The housekeeper will do well to be on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps. Every intelligent person knows
that any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner, or that are given
away in samples, or sought to be init o.
duced by secretly traducing the charac-
ter of other goods well known to be
pure and reliable, have no merits Of
their own. and have failed TO find pur-
chasers through legitimate means.
We are informed, as matter of fact,
that one OF these tramps is trying to in
troduce powder that has been found
by the Government chemist TO be IS
per cent lime, while the other peddles a
powder that is 20 per cent alum-one a
powerful oaustic, the other corrosive
poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt
to deceive any intelligent person. The
heusekeeper who has used her Royal
Baking Powder ever since she discarded
cream of tartar and soda, knows more
about its qualities than all the tramps
in the country can teach her. The
crucial test to which she has put the
Royal Baking Powder-the test of act
ual and successful work in the prepare
ton of pure and wholesome foed, under
which it has never failed-is entirely
satisfactory to her. She has always had
good luck with it in making light.
sweet and delicious bread, biscuit and
cake, and has placed it, to stay, at the
head Of her housekeeping favorites.
She knows that it has been officially APP
proved by the Government chemists as
the best, and we imagine that the bak-
ing powder tramp who attempts to sup
plant its place in her confidence will
find this bad year for his business.
