ters, not tired by the earnest noon rallies
in different places where congregate the
toilers of Boston, and, unsatisfied with the
encouragement gained at the fifteen general
committee meetings this afternoon, the
Christians gathered, 25.OO0 strong, at the
big meetings at the three great auditoriums
of Mechanics Hall and Tents Willston and
Endeavor. At Mechanics Hall building the
address of Rev. A. c. Dixon, ID. D., of
Brooklyn, attracted thousands. while other
thousands were drawn to Tent Williston by

meetings the presentation of banner to a

especially does this apply to the report of

Rev. H. w. kinney, of Syracuse, n. Y.
This is comparatively a new feature of the
Endeavor Society, and its increase, as in
dicated in the reports, produced marked
enthusiasm.

A STRANGE SUIT.

According to the Pittsburg Journ-
al, Peter Gruber, the Rattlesnake
King of Venango county, has made
the most unique costume any man
ever wore. 1t consists of coat, vest,
trousers, hat, shoes and shirt. and
ia made entirely of the skins of rat
tlesnakes. Seven hundred snakes,
all caught and skinned by Cruber
during the past five years. provided
the material for this novel costume.
To preserve the brilliancy and the
fexibllity of the skins in the great
est possible degree, the snakes were
skinned alive, first being made un-
conscious by chloroform. They
were then tanned by method pes

and elastic as wooden goods. The

HE'LL.

In the church has been q dispute
for centuries over the statement
that Christ descended into hell.
For long time there had been a
false idea In reference to this part
of the Scriptures. This involved
theologians in ontroversies. But it
is not true that Christ descended
into the place of perdition or the
internal regions. The point of ex-
pIanation lles in the translation of
the Hebrew word. 1t is now well
settled that the Hebrew word
meant either hades or the grave.
So it is to be understood finally
that the word hell means the grave.

MOST PERFECT MADE,

On Wednesday of last week the
dummy log train of the Champion
Lumber Company, at Orylsburg,
was derailed and John Dale, who
was acting as brakeman, met with
a terrible accident. The runoff
shock threw Mr.. Dale from his posi-
tion to the ground and the train ran
over his legs. Amputatlon was
found 10 be necessary, and the op.
GRAFTON Was performed by DR.. Hun.
nicut, of Poplarville, and Drs. Bufa
kin and Stevens, of Hattiesburg.
One leg was amputated above and
the other below the knee, and it is
doubtful if the unfortunate man can
recover. Mr.. Dale's relatives from
Bay st. Louis and other points are
at his bedside. Mr.. Dale has
wife and one child. We understand
that the mill company adopted the
accident insurance plan some days
ago, and that Mr.. Dale will derive
some benefit therefrom.
Later information reports Mr..
Dale improving, and it is thought
that he will recover.
