 HE HiTs HARD.-A recent issue of the Chicago Times says: ''Twenty hun dred people heard the lecture of Rev. sam
 P. Jones last night. Sam Jones hits hard. The eco antric divine hits from the shoulder
 and spares no one." His coming to
 O. Brien's opera house tonight is the talk
 of the town.
 SAM P. JONES. Rev. Sam P. Jones, the
 great evangelist, lecturer and huinorist,
 the greatest genius of the nineteenth cen-
 tury, will appear at O. Brien's opera house
 tonight. No living man attracts such vast
 audiences. AS recently Colonel lngersoll
 lectured from the same platform, It IS
 understood that the great preacher will
 pay his respects to the famous agnostic.
 As a humorist Sam Jones surpasses Mark Twain.
