Two local sports were hunting
quail in San Pablo (CaD canon
and sit down by creek to eat their
lunch. Suddenly huge deed came
crashing through the bushes and
disappeared on the other side. It's
fright was occasion by large lion,
that halted about ten feet from the
hunters. One of them began climb
ing the nearest tree the other blaz-
ed away with his shotgun and took
to the woods. The lion was now as
thoroughly frightened, and hastily
departed. 1t was difficult to say
which of the four was the worse
scared.

Sam Jones.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 27.-Oyer six
thousand people listened to SER
mon which was marvellous COM
pound of wit, humor, pathos, COM
mon sense, morality and piety. 1t
flowed from the great orators lips
as fuently as gurgling waters from
q perennial spring, as clear as crys-
tai, and, Judging from the attention
and comments of his auditors, as
satisfying to the soul as the liquid
waters that quenche the thirst.
Those who at first were disposed to
scoff at Sam Jones style are now
loudest in his praise.
For over two weeks now he has
spoken two or three time daily with
out the slightest trace of repetition
in illustration or sayings. Many
people have compared him in their
minds as an orator with Robert In
gersoll, the king of infdels. The
newspaper men who have had the
task ofreporting Sam jones' sermons
are unanimous in the expression that
the Rev. Jones outshines the great
infdel orator in point Of ability.
His sermons are all extempore.
Jones is poor. After the recent
prohibition contest in Atlanta a
purse Of 81 200 was made up for him
by some admirers. OF this amount
he turned over $500 to the family
of the saloon-keeper who was one of
his converts, and who has broken
in the barrels of his wisl1ey shop and
emptied their contents into the gut
te". Another $500 he donated to q
widows family, keeping only 5000
himself.

DEsTITUTIoN AND DEATH.-Until three
weeks ago George and John Bush, brothers,
were farmers in Meade county, KY, about
twelve miles from the mouth of the Salt
river. Their land was poor, and it was with
difficulty that they obtained sufficient food
to keep them from starving. They finally
determined to try and better their condition
further west. They constructed small
boat and on July 25 both families, consisting
of the brothers, their wives, and nine child
rem, together with their little belongings.
embarked and started down the river. Two
weeks ago Nancy Bush, aged 81, Georges
wife, was taken i'll with malaria, and not
being able to procure necessary medicine IL
soon developed into typhoid malaria. Inc
other members were stricken down, and IL
nally all were helpless. In this condition
they were overtaken on Thursday night BY
heavy storm which tossed their craft about
like an eggshell, throwing them from one
end of the boat to the other. Their posses.
sions were swept away by the waves, and
the roof taken off. During this night Mrs;
Bush suddenly grew worse and died. All
day long Friday they drifted with the cur
rent, the hot sun beating down upon the
sufferers. Saturday they had drifted nearly
opposite Evansville, Ind, when some fish.
ermen saw the boat and boarded it, discoV-
ering the condition OF its occupants. They
secured their lines and ran the boat ashore,
after which the authorities were notified
When the town trustee arrived he found the
poor people in a terrible condition. Hollow
eyed, emaciated, and with scarcely rag
Of CO yeling they lay upon the bare floor OF
the boat, huddled together and all contend
ing with malarial fever. In the midst OF
them lay the dead body of an aged woman,
partially decomposed. Over this piece OF
rag carpet had been thrown, the living occu-
pants being too i'll to remove the body
Mrs. Bush was buried, and it is feared six
others will die.
