LETTER FROM DR. HALE
Read at the Southside Baptist Church Sunday He Baptises in the River Jordan-0n
 His Way Home.

Jerusalem, Oct. 13, 1895. To All the Members of the Southside Bap-
 tist Church, Birmingham, Ala
 My Dear Brethren and Sisters: have thought of you continually since I have been away from you, and although ab- sent in body, have been present in spirit When you have gathered within the walls of the beloved church each Sab bath, and at prayer meeting and at Sun day school my prayers have been with you. I felt like writing to you weekly, but knew this would tax your patience by prolonging the services and that you would, moreover, hear through the pa- pers. Brother Fowlkes has been kind enough to write me every week how you are all getting on, and about the Sunday school. prayer meeting and services. His letters have been a great comfort and joy to me in this foreign land-like water to the thirsty traveller in a great desert have rejoiced greatly in the blessings of God upon you, and that all seem to be trying each 10 do a little more, and thus carry on the work of Christ without irn- pairment during my absence.
 It has saddened my journey to know that when I return I shall miss from the congregation two familiar and beloved faces. Death has thinned your ranks The one aged, and like a sheaf ripe for the garner; the other in the beauty and promise of her bright young life! Yet they were both, I rejoice to feel, ready to go to meet the Lord, and share in the glory of those who have loved him and served him. May the comfort of the

Holy Spirit be upon these stricken hearts and upon all of you who have had trouble.
 have now ridden through the length and almost the breadth of the Holy Land. Many passages of the word of God are plain to me now that were dark before. All of the Bible as far as possible, has been studied on the places where the events recorded occurred. So 1 trust God will enable me to be an abler minis ter of Jesus Christ from this visit abroad. My gratitude to the kindly and generous church which enabled me to take this trip, by giving me this long yacatloD' has continually increased, as the bless ings of such travel become more and more evident.
 My heart was thrilled with sacred memories when I climbed the hills and looked for the first time upon the blue waters of Gelilee, where the Saviour taught; upon which he walked beside which he spent the years of his earthly ministry. Last Sunday I tried to preach Christ in Nazareth. and it was sweet to be in the town where for thirty years he lived and labored until the hour came for him to begin his labors for our redemption.
 It was with deep gratitude to God that l reached the summit of the Mount of Olives day before yesterday and looked down upon Jerusalem, upon Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Calvary and Gethsemane, and felt near this spot stood the blessed and pierced feet when He blessed His disciples and ascended back to Heaven to await the coming of his redeemed ones
 Friday morning, by the authority con- ferred by you upon me, at the traditional spot where John the Baptist baptized the Saviour in the river Jordan. l bap- tized Mrs. l.. S. Hutheson of Harrisburg, Pa. upon her profession of faith in Christ.
 I am grateful to say God has gracious ly kept me in this long journey. and thad my health Is good. My wife writes me my family are all well. although the children have all had the fever and one of them has been night unto death.
 I trust to be with you, Sunday No vember 24. I am impatient for the hour of sailing to come. A pastor does not fully know how much he loves his church until he is separated from them by the ocean and by a. long space of time. But have taken too much of your time- Pray daily for me. God bless you every one. Your affectionate pastor.

The woman's Christian Temperance Union
 Gives Supper.
 Collinsville, Nov. 17.-(Special Corre- spondence. 1.-The most brilliant affair that has transpired here during the past week was a supper given last night by the Ladies' Temperance union. The sup per was largely attended. The table al- most groaned under the weight of lux uries. The receipts amounted to some thing near $20.
 A concert was given at Porterville, Ala, in the interest of the Methodist church of that place. Collnsville was we'll rep resented there, numbering those in at- tendance there from this place the best people of the town. The concert was a big success, those concerned in the con- cert acquitting themselves real nicely. The receipts were very satisfactory.
 Yesterday was horse swapping day here A large crowd was in attendance All seemed to enjoy themselves immense ly and everything passed off quietly un- til late in the afternoon, when it was ru- mored that row occurred in which pisz tols were drawn and it was with difficulty that a general row was prevented.
 Cotton continues to roll in at this point, notwithstanding the low price. Already there have been received and shipped from this place about 2500 bales. Train men tell us that Collinsville is one of the greatest shipping points for cotton, chick ems and eggs of it's size between Chatta- nooga and Birmingham.

 Now, will proceed. I make this state ment and would have you impress 1t on your minds silver has never been dropped out of the coinage of any country Tn the world because it's bullion value was less than that of gold. He then went on to explain how the money of the United States was bound up in New York, and how they could manipulate it at will, and ended by saying that contradiction was a necessary part of the gold stand ard. Dealing with the act of 1873 he said that John Sherman had visited Germany in 1867 and that he had written letter and had it printed in three languages, in which he set forth the gold standard theory and stated that 1t was an Amer in 1873 and had the act passed surrep- titiously, even President Grant himself acknowledging that he did not under stand 1t.
 The Tilden democratic house elected in 1876 passed a 16 to'1 bill.
 He closed by stating that his relations with President Cleveland had always been friendly but that he considered he had as much right to his individual opin- ion as the president or any other man.
 The speech was well received and we think there is no doubt about the great good the distinguished speakers are do- ing toward healing up the wounds of the party. All that an impartial listener needs is to hear them once and he will be- come the friend of the ill-treated white metal,

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT In Which Conductor Rufin Loses
 His Life. LINK BREAKS ON A GRADE And the Wild Cars Dash Down the Track at Eighty Miles an Hour-A Fatal
 Leap.


 Near Patton Junction, fifty-three miles west of Birmingham, railroad accident happened Sunday morning that cost w. T. Ruffin his life. He was in charge of the second section of the westbound freight No. 3S. The Corona accommo- dation bound for Birmingham stood on the siding at Corona. headed west, wait ing for the second section of freight train No. 38 to pass. The freight train passed Corona, and when it had cleared the switch the Corona accommodation backed east on the main line for the Pat ton "Y."
 As the freight was climbing the heavy grade from Corona So link broke severinG the caboose and two freight cars loaded with iron. Conductor Ruffin, it Is be- lieved, must have been asleep in the ca boose, or he would have applied the brakes. At any rate the wild cars dashed down the steep grade with frightful Ve- locty. Every turn of the wheels accel- erated the speed. On they came like the wind in raging tornado. Bystanders at Corona stood with bated breath as the streak of cars passed by. They were rolling, it is said, eighty miles an hour. The Corona accommodation was not more than two or three miles distant. The weight of the cars kept them on the rails and they swept a curve at the still frightful velocity.
 Engineer Broom of the accommodation saw the cars coming. He gave a savage wrench at the throttle valve. His en- zine butted the coaches and moved fast CT east. He and his fireman stuck to their post. There was nothing to do but wait for the steam to turn the tardy wheels. Every turn of the big engine drivers gave greater speed to the Corona accommodation. But nothing could race with the wild freight cars. Conductor RuffiD ran to the rear cabooSe door. He crept to the hand-rail of the platform and looked up and down the track An instant before the cars dashed into the engine he made a wild leap into the air. A bystander says his body struck the ground like bounding ball. When taken up he was not dead, but he could not live. He tried to speak several times, but he could not. In short time he was dead and his body was sent to the city.
 The caboose mounted the front part of the engine of the accommodation but neither the fireman nor the engineer were hurt. The freight cars were not badly damaged and it is coniectured that Con- ductor Ruffin would have escaped with out serious injury had he remained in the caboose. It Is a remarkable feature of his frightful leap that not bone in his body was broken and he had only two or three slight abraslons
 The body was prepared for burial by the Warner & Smiley company and shipped last night to Faunsdale for in- torment.
 Conductor Ruff1n formerly worked in Selma. He is about 36 years old and leaves a wife and children.

Pure Fcod.

fur6 tCOUs
 Butterine is much abused product. As @ matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skiliful combination of pure sweet fats tho study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: ''The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. S. w. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"
