SAM JONES AND HIS CONVERTS.
Amusing Scenes During Revival Scr
vices,

"Bill Arp" writes as follows on the Rev.
Sam Jones: He says that once he was
preaching in n western town md was
wrought up i'll his feelings and was going
along tender and pathetic in his appeal TO
sinners. when an old man got up and
stretched forth his hand and said:
Brother Jones, Brother Jones, stop u
minute-iust Il minute. / just want to
shout II little and say. Bless God, Pm
happy on the way. Yes, happy on the way
And he sat down. shaking and sobbing with
JOY,
Sam paused for the affecting scene to
lend its influences to his preaching, and
then said to tho old man, "Well, my
brother, don't you feel now like you had
lost that fifty odd years of your iifs that
you spent in sin?"
The old man rose up again and said.
We'll, no. Brother Jones, not exactly. |
can't say that. | wasn't IA happy as | am
now, but l did AVE a power of fun
"On another occasion, while a revival
was going on. Sam observed an old man in
the congregation who seemed to be much
affected. aud going to him he asked if he
felt that his sins were all forgiven. The
old man rubbed his eyes with a rod banda
ma and murnured, Not all, Brother Jones,
not all, but l think a majority Of 'em.'"-

CONCLUSION.
would refer you to the report of the
maj or- general commanding the army for fur
Their information concerning the condition
of the army, and for its operations during
the year; to the reports OF the several
bureaus and divisions of the department
for fuller details of its administration, and
to the reports of the board of visitors and
of the superintendent concerning the mill
tary academy. They all contain valuable
suggestions, fully and clearly presented.
l have not attempted to make any reca-
pitulation of or merely formal reference to
them. 1t has seemed better that | should
simply discuss those matters with respect
to which some particular duty is charged
upon me, or which seemed to be of the
most general interest to the army or
the department as 4 whole. l would
call your special attention to the full
account in the report of Gen. Schofield of
the operations of the army last winter dur
ing the troubles with the Sioux Indians.
This campaign, which was made in mid
winter in asevere climate, was conducted
in manner deserving communication.
The character and attainments of the
older officers of the army, who made their
records during the great war, is too well
understood to require any mention; but L
wish to pay well-deserved tribute to the
younger officers, who have not had the
great war opportunities of their seniors.
Nothing in my connection with the army
has surprised and gratified me so much as
the general high character and professional
attachments of the younger officers OF the
army, who have made the most of their
opportunities under the conditions of COM
parative peace. 1t is upon them that we
must depend in the future, and they can be
implicitly relied upon to be equal TO the re-
quirements of any emergency.
As l am about to retire from this depart
ment, l desire to acknowledge the earnest
and loyal cooperation which l have at all
times received in its administration from
all of its officers and officials, and the en-
couragement and support which l have ever
had from you. REDFIELD PROCTOR.
Secretary of War.

CHICkAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA NATIONAL
PARK.
The act of August 10, 1890, established a
national park at the the battlefield of
Chickamauga, and placed its supervision
and control under the war department
The act authorized the appointment by the
secretary of war of a commission of three
to have immediate charge of the park, and
provided that each commissioner named
should have actively participated in the bat
tie Of Chickamauga or one of the battles
about Chattanooga.
Two OF the commissioners were required
to be appointed from civil life, and the
third to be selected from those officers of
the army best acquainted with the details
of the battles of Chickamauga and Chatta-
nooga to act as secretary of the commits
sion. Under the provisions Of the act ap-
pointed j. S. Fullerton of Missouri, who
was assistant Acknowledgement on the
staff of Gen. Gordon Granger; Alex
ander P. Stewart of Tennessee, a major
general commanding division in the Con-
federate army of Tennessee; Capt S. c.
Kellogg of the army, who was aide-de-camp
on the staff of Gen. Thomas, as members of
the commission, and Gen. II. Y. Boynton,
who was lieutenant-colonel commanding the
Thirty-fifth Ohio infantry, as an assistant
and expert in historical work
The commission has made good progress,
in view of the obstacles encountered in ac-
quiring the land. Deeds for small por-

Galena college, were admitted on trial

John l.. Nielsen from the West German
