Of the fight. 1t was from those chiefly
that the "boy preacher" got his recruits.
Evangelist Harrison's methods and his
powers differ from those of ali the great
leaders of his guild. He lacks the per.
suasive eloquence of Moody and his
strength Is not equal to the sledge- hammer
blows Of Sam Jones. The secrets of his
success are indomitable energy, wonderful
physical endurance and intense enthusiasm.
He will walk up and down the aisles of
his church, during the progress of meet
ing, working his arms like pump handles,
talking to this person and that, and ex-
horting the congregation generally at a
two hundred and fifty words minute gait
There is hardly the slightest pause between
words-each seeming to lap over its sue
cessor--and one has to listen intently In or
der to keep apace with the frequently
broken discourse. His voice is rich bass,
he Is tall and rather spare, and you seldom
see him without short stubble of coarse
beard on his otherwise boyish features.

THE JACKSON ELECTION.
An Impartial Statement of the Facts of
the Case.

An Impartial Statement of the Facts of
the Case.
WASHINGTON, August 3.-The minority
report OF the Senate committee on the
jackson, Miss, election, where certain
United States officials were charged with
aiding in suppressing the colored vote, was
presented to the Senate today. It is signed
by all the Democratic members Of the com
mittee, and makes nearly 200 pages of
closely written manuscript. 1t disagrees
with the report of the majority. and finds
that the Colored vote was not suppressed
by any organized action of the citizens. and
that none of the United States officials took
part in any movement looking to that end,
or acted in any manner incompatible with
their duty as officers or citizens having the
good Of the community at heart
The report reviews at great length the
troubles preceding the election. The kill.
ing OF Gambrell " me Prohibition cam
palgn, and the mob which followed, and
the killing Of Mitchell by colored man
named Whiteside. backed by others--these
things and the failure of Mayor McGill to
enforce the law through his Colored police
and aldermen, led to meetings of the whites,
irrespective OF party, to nominate a ticket
exclusively of white men against McGill.
The latter, seeing the situation, proposed
Cy loItel tlldG III SISCIlOH Dy whites eXClu-
sively be held, but%his was rejected by the
other side, when they proposed a primary
election by the whites to select candidates
This proposition was rejected by McGill;
but, owing to the general excitement, and
possibly, for the purpose of manufacturing
political outrage" material, the negroes de,
termlned not to vote, and did not appear at
the polls on election day.
The report insists that there was no
movement, and with one exception no
speech, at the meeting held in favor of
he suppression of the colored vote, except
the proposition of McGill, the candidate of
the party with which the negroes usually
voted The stories of the cannon used at
the polls are denounced as untrue, and
growing out of the presence of cannon
used for powder firing at political meetings.
The report finds nothing to warrant the
removal of the four officers, as recon-
mended by the majority of the committee.
and says the Senator'S have exceeded their
authority in recommending such action, as
the power of impeachment would be with
the House. not with the Senate or the Pre-
Bident

THE OLDEST LIVING DEMOCRAT.
Patrick Collins, Aged 100, Hopes to Vote
for Cleveland and Thurman.
IN. Y. Star. Aug. 2)

The oldest Jeffersonian Democrat of the
country has been discovered by Star re.
porter. Patrick Collins, of Brooklyn, ac.
cording to his own statement, is now 1O6
years old and, even at this advanced age,
is intelligent and active.
When Mr.. Collins left his native county
of Monaghan, Ireland, many years ago, he
came to this country as a railroad laborer.
For seven or eight years ho kept to this
work, until for time his health gave way.
Nevertheless he persevered and succeeded
in keeping IN comfortable circumstances a
family of three daughters and two sons.
A short time ago Mr. Collins was knocked
down and run over by an express wagon
In Myrtle avenue. His youngest son.
Patrick, and his wife cared for the old
gentleman as best they could for q time
but finally daCided that he would be much
better off for time with the Little Sisters
of the Poor at DeKalb and BushwiCk
avenue.
Through the courtesy of the sister in
charge the Star reporter was allowed an
interview with Mr.. Collins. No one would
suspect, from his bearing, that the old man
carries the weight of 1O6 years upon his
shoulders. He Is active in body, and his
mind is very clear. He suffers from deaf
ness, and that defect evidently annoys and
confuses him at times. Notwithstanding
this, however, Mr.. Collins is always affa

Wants His Hens Protected.

Probably the most unique petition ever
hled In the House in favor Of additional
protection to American industries was re-
celVed on Monday from Representative
Anderson, of Iowa. 1t read as follows:
Being profoundly impressed with the
gravity of the occasion and the magnitude
of the matter at issue in that all my worldly
possessions are invested in two dozen hens,
and realizing that there should be no dis,
elimination In regard to the protection of
American industries, and being advised
thai there were some 16, 900, 600 dozens of

protect my interest against the Internal
activity of the pauper hens of Europe

OHEERX WORDS.
For the CitIzens OF Tyler ana Smith
County as Uttered by John IA.
Adams OF the Firm of Mckay
d Adams, Druggists.

Ihave been practical druggist in Tyler for
q number of years, and in that time have had
occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly recommended prepara-
tions or patent medicines on the market, and
as have suffered untold misery myself, the
past number of years, from severe form of
infiammatory rheumatism, and could find
nothing to cure or relieve me, had almost
drawn conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, was induced by a friend now living In
Tyler to try q preparation known as U b, or Bo-
tanio Blood Balm, and after long persuasion
on his part finally made up my mind to make
ono more effort to rid myself Of the terrible
af1iction; and 1t now affords me the greatest
pleasure Of my life to state to the citizens of
Smith county that am entirely cured, with no
traces of the disease left, and all effected by
the magic healing properties Of b. b. B., which
consider the grandcst, purest and most power
ful blood remedy known to man. have been
subject to imflammatory attacks since ten
years Of age, and up to the present time have
had four. The last spell came on me in No
vember, 1886, over a year ago, at which time
I was confined to my bed for eight weeks,
passing the nights In misery, with no sleep ex-
cept when produced by narcotics and various
opiates. The week previous to using B. b. 3.
up to that time had only eaten Six meals, and
could scarcely sit up without support; but
after using three bottles L was able to relish
nv meals and to walk up town, and after six
bottles had been used, thank heaven, was en-
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt
since that time. When L returned to business
I'm February, my weight was las pounds, but
gradually increased until my regular weight
was again attained, 2l0 pounds. The noticeable
fact In what have 30 oheerfully stated is, that
this unparalleled and remarkable discovery
b. b. B., cured me in mid-winter, at the very
time my sufferings and misery were the
greatest. l take 1t on myself as a practical
druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as we'll as con-
scientiously recommend this glorious blood
remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood
troubles, and not only myself, but the firm OF
Mckay s. Adams, who handle it, viii cheer
fnlly indorse its superior merits.
