The Floating Tabernacie> Kun by One Of Sam
Jonea' Enthusiastic Converts-
From the oarer-JOurIal
Several years ago. when Sam Jones 60. up
his first great revival in Nashville. il was q no
nceabie feature among the immense crowds
who oaily went to hear him that two Of Nash
v,iles most prominent and wealthy citizens
we're there and taking great interest in the
meetings. These men were Capt Thomas @.
lyman. -he wealthy steamboat owner and
builder, and Col Alex. Perry. the big stock
man OF Nashville and cattle king of Tennessee.
They were warm friends, and il was not long
before they became greatly interested in Mr..
Jones aud his services. Ryman and Perry
were converted on the same day at the same
time and place.
Lyman owned eight or ten boats plying the
Sumoeriand river, and il was not long before
ne moi only removed every bar from his boats,
09t ne had scriptnrai quotations from the
h.ots painted over the doors, upon the bulk
neaus ana n many of the state rooms of every
boat he owned. until his boats we're known
everywhere as "Ryman's Floating Tabernaeles, /"
and he has never built or owned a boat since
that he has not kept whisky of Of them and
emoeuished the cabins with religious quota
lions, In the meantime he WAS being liberal
with his wealth IN advancing the cause OF reli-
eion IN Nashville. Perry, being equally as
wealthy ana liberal, was not slow TO open his
purse whenever and wherever he had chance
to help Jones along. Ryman built mission in
Nashville ana has paid the expense OF running
~ To this day. Perry. not TO be outdone did
the same thing, and the two missions have done
great work among the people of the rock city.
these two men are at the head of a syndicate
which Is building an immense and costly taber-
nacle IN Nashville to seat from 6.0O0 TO 5000
people, and will be dedicated by Sam Jones
next April.
Capt Ryman has just built beautiful steam
boat one Of the most complete low water boats
Ed Howard ever built. She is $50 feet long,
Zo1a feet beam and 3;s feet depth of hold. She
has full-leDgth cabin and Texas and remark
able to state she only draws twelve inches.
The cabin contains the following quotations
from the Bible: The eyes of the LORD are in
eyery place beholding the evil and the good
''God Is angry with the wicked" Wine is a
mocker; Fools make mock Of sim" Capt.
Lyman, in appreciation OF the high esteem aud
regard he has for true Christian character and
hberahty OF heart, has named his pretty little
steamer in honor of his friend and associate,
ALEX Perry"

DENOUNCED AS A SCHEME

The London Times on the Relations Of H.
international Railway and This Country.
LONDON, August 25.-The Times today pub
fishes three-column article upon the pro-
jected intercontinental railway, which, when
completed, will link the South and Central
American republics with each other and with
the United States. In discussing these plans
| the Times expresses the opinion that Mr.
James q. Blaine, the United States Secretary
OF State, is Man Of grandioss ideas. aud H.
as il seems quite possible. he is the next Presi-
dent. there VIII be some chance Of realizing
the scheme"
Continuing the Times says that the 'Proiect
aims TO join the markets Of North and South
America, but there is no place for a general
CONNIE rcial system even in the relations be-
tween the several republics. The railroad when
great waterways on either side Of the CONT
nent
From Buenos Ayres to New York and from
Valparaiso to San Francisco the existing means
OF transit are simpler and cheaper than they
could ever be made on a rail route. II il
obvious that the scheme equally has
political as well as commercial ends in
view. To join the North and South
American republics, even though the first
outward sign of union will be nothing but an
iron raj with the supreme center OF the repub-
lican government at Washington, is q concep-
ton OF captivating magnitude. The Times
also asserts that the recent proposals on the
part OF the United States looking 20 the estab-
lishment of reciprocity with various republics
OF the continent were generally received by the
fcoGntries TO which overtnres were made as
specimens of absolutely cynical Anglo-saxou
selfishness and that the proposals created Q
profound distrust in American bargains.
Touching upon the question as 10 where the
capital lis 70 be found for the enormus enter
prise, the Times expresses the opinion that Il
cannot he found in the needy southern repub-
lies and that it must be raised in the United
States. The latter would be obliged to gusran-
tee the interest on the cost of construction and
there is a strong conviction that the United
States would recoup itself for this guarantee q
the expense Of the republics further south
Many people Of practical opinion, the Times
says. believe that the scheme will never be re-
allied. The price demanded by the United
esfor guaranteeing the bonds Of the railroad
would be in commercial and political concessions
which the other republics could not grant
The United States is regarded az the rival Of
England, and as the states of the southern half
Of the continent were developed by English
capital there exists an important party which
will regard any step toward closer commercial
and political relations with the United States e
a step away from an old and trusted friend.

Sunday Rev. DR.. George Elliot was an
nounced to preach at Washington Grove camp
meeting. DIR. Elliot was not there, but when
the congregation of Foundry Church assembled
DIR. Elliot was in his pulpit Before preaching
he stated that it had been published that he
would preach on the camp ground. To this
ground Sunday trains were run and the camp
meeting association received rebate from
Sunday traffic. This, he said, he could not
countenance or aid as member of the Sabbath
association, and he was, therefore, in his own
pulpit.
