He made no scene. but simply left the

superior officer. Commander Darlington
Booth, was shocked. and Major Perry,
too. In fact. the ColOnei's act sent a
sort Of CULVER through all the successive
ranks OF Salvation Army officers until
1t reached the non-commissioned officers

Evans would leave the army. or that he
ever gave n thought to affairs OF bust

No one knows now, except Col. Evans,
why the step was taken, but at Bayonne.
N. j.. there are a wife and three little

said yesterday that the Colonel had for

The army did not, perhaps. make him

Evan began to wonder what would hap

was too old to 90 effective Salvation

REPLY TO DR.. BROUGHTON
SUPERINTENDENT GRUKBS, OF
THE POOR HOUSE,
Makes Statement Regarding the
Charges Made by Rev. l.,
G. Brough ghton.

THE SENTINEL is in receipt of the
following communication from Mr.. ..
E. Grubbs, superintendent of For
syths home for the poor:
Since last sundays sermon'on the
poor house, by Rev. L. G. BroughtCn,
[ have been urged by many citizens
| for statement. While the poor
house could be kept in better condi-
ton, no doubt, with more help, yet I
can say the people of Forsyth coun-
ty are better off in regard to their
miserable, disgraceful hole Of a poor
house than was represented by DR..
Broughton last Sunday. For example,
the room stated as being 8x10 feet, is,
by actual count, 1Sx2O feet. Instead
of the county having six helpless men
with loatheso.ne diseases) begging
for water and unable to hand it to
each other, there are only four-One

one day with a goods box on his head,
almost big enough to bury him in-thiS
being the shame week if not the same

Investigations.
''In regard to the man who had just

a dead man had recently been taken,

Il death at the poor house for more
than two months.

any more uneasiness in regard to hay-

into her fiftieth year and her young

supposed father, according to the
Doctor, one Mr.. Ballard, has only
met the chllds mother within the
last three years. Perhaps DR..
Broughton, being medical man,
could throw some light on this partic
ular subject in his next discourse.

WEATHER PROPHECY.
Reasons for Expecting Very Severe
Winter.

MIDDLETowN, n. Y, Oct. 24.-Lo-
ren CuShman, an aged farmer Of Ply
mouth, ChenagO county, has luite d
reputation as reliable weather
prophet, and whenever he makes d
prognostication his friends and ac-
quaintanceS regard it as worthy Of
credence. Mr.. Cushman believes the
coming winter will be an unusually
severe one. and bases his opinion on
the following grounds:
First, the huSkS of the corn are
much thicker than usual, and of d
deep orange tint, instead of a light
lemon hue.
Second, the hogs melt runs jagged,
instead of smooth.
Third, the goose bone taken from a
May raised fowl shows larger and
whittier spots than customary, which
resembles the canals Of Mars.
Fourth, the crop of nuts of all k nds
is immense, and the squirrels and
chipmunkS are laying in prOdigiouS
stores early in the season.
Fifth, the partridges and WOOdcOck
are lighting in barns and OuthouSes,
instead of trees, and ducks are flying
in U-Shaped instead of N-Shaped
fiOckS toward the South.
Sixth, the green frogs are changing
their skins, and are even now seeking
cool wells and springs for their win
ter quarters.
Mr. Cushman believes the coming
winter will be the most severe this
country has experienced since the
winter of 1898.

A TRUE BILL +"
Five Scenes on a Railroad Train
Drank to His Health.

FIRST SCENE.-The young lady was
from Ohio; the young man was a
North Carolinia7. Both were on the
same train returning from the Worlds
FAIR. They formed one another's ac-
quaintance. The girl said her father
was Republican but that she was a
PrOhibitioniSt out and out. The boy
endorsed her views by saying that he
was "a tetotaler from big A to lizard. y
SECOND SCENE.-The young lady
becomes quite i'll. The young man
expresses his sympathy and asks II he
can render any assistance. "IhankS;
there is nothing you can do that L
know of" was the reply. A new idea
strikes the gallant North Ca$oliniaD.
perhaps few drops of spirits would
prove beneficial he said. Perhaps
they would" was tile quick response.
THIRD SCENE.-The young man
goes to the inside of his coat pocket,
finds small flask filed with the best
brand. He gets cup and fills it half
full. The young lady drinks all of it
to his heaIth-and she said it was
fine medicine. The passengers, Of
course, thought it was pure, unadul-
terated water.
FOURTH SCENE.-The North Caro-
linian goes to friend and remarks:
Say, | gave that young lady this cup
half fall of whiskey: don't you reckon
it will make her drunk No" re-
piled the friend; that girl is from
Ohio and the girls from that State
know how to kill ardent spirits"
FIFTH SCENE.-The girl grows sick
er: the car window is raised and in a
few minutes she remarked: Il am
well now: the fresh air and t0ddy did
it all"
