The Orphans Home,

The Orphans Home established by
the Christian ladies of our town four
years ago, has proved a great blessing
to large number of homeless and
destitute children. 1t is a grand in
stitution and it would be a shame and
disgrace to Maryville and to Blount
County, should it have to be abandon
ed on account of the lack OF funds.
There are now fifteen little children
there who otherwise, would have no
home, or training.
Next Tuesday night you will have
an opportunity to help the home a.
long by going to the Temperance Ora,
ma, "Arthur Eustace; or a Mother
Love" which will be repeated at Co.
lumbar Hall, the proceeds to go to
the home, which is just now in
need of funds with which to buy
winter fuel. Don't fail to 60 as you
will also have a pleasant evenings
entertainment. Admission zocts. No.
reserved seats. Children under Il
years, 10 cts.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
f. e, MOORE Pastor,

Rev. Samuel T. Wilson D. d. &C.
cupied the pulpit last Sabbath. In
the morning he gave an interesting,
learned and practical sermon, and in
the evening by special request he read
part OF his historical address delivered
before the last session of Union Pres
bytery.
At the close of the morning service,
Maj. Ben Cunningham, Chairman of
the Board of Directors took charge
and changed the order of exercises to
movement to free the church from
debt. In very short time there was
over $500 raised, with only portion
of the congregation present No true
and loyal member can feel at ease to
allow funds of this nature to be raised
without aiding in some way, so when
all shall have added their contribu
tons, New Providence will enter the
New Year free from debt. A beautl
full spirit was shown by young man
at the close of the services when he
came to the officials and said: "Now
| am sorry to say that l have no mon
ey, and no way to raise any at this
time; but | want it unerstood that
am here to bear my part, and | stand
ready TO work in any way that is open
and want you to call on me. | am
determined to bear my part of any
burden that falls on this church.
Such spirit gives power to the indl
vidual and to the organization. 1t /:
a source of great pleasure to know
that there are very few in the congre'
CATION that feel or act otherwise.
Rev. E. B. Waller will preach
next Sabbath.

We are glad to receive a very III
teresting letter from r. C. Jones, 'ae9-
about the "San Francisco TheologSazi
Seminary"-It is as follows:
San Francisco Theological SeFnF-
| nary,
The San Francisco Theo. Sem Is
situated at San Anselmo which is SIZE
teen miles north of the city of Ssgz
Francisco, or one hours ride by boz1
and train.
There are three Seminary buildings
two located on hill top and the other
at the foot OF the hill These are
built of stone and are furnished wbh
all the things needful for comfort ana
convenience.
The Seminary is located far enough
away from the ocean not to receiys
the heavy winds and yet near enough
to have the beneficial effect of the sea-
breeze.
There are six regular professors
DR.. Mackenzie, Prof. of ApologetiTs7
and Missions; DR.. Landon of HomiS.
etics; DR.. Day of Hebrew; DR.. Kerr
of Greek; DR.. Alexander of History
and DR.. Mlnton of Systematic TheoA,,-

To President Mckinley.

With anger and dismay the country
watches the so far successful efforts of the
Spanish influence in the United states
Senate to delay action on Senator Morgan S
resolution recognizing Cuban belligerency,
and for which more than three-fourths Of
the Senate will vote when the opportunity
is offered to them The reason for this
opposition is well known. 1t is designed
to afford Spain "a chance 10 negotiate a
new loan in Europe, which would be i'm
possible if the Senate were to adopt the
resolution.
With grief aud amazement the American
people are asking why the President of the
United States stands idly and compiacently
by while atrocities and horrors are being
perpetrated in Cuba. frightrul enough to
freeze his blood; under his eyes; with
his full personal and official knowledge,
and within his right, power and ability to
stop instantly.
1t is definitely known to the Admins
tration that as a carefully conceived war
measure, the captain general of Cuba has
driven all the unfortunate country people
he could find into his garrisoned towns;
that these include large number of Amer
ican citizens connected with sugar and
tobacco plantations; that the purpose Of
this movement was TO starve all these men,
women and children to death, and that
they are dying by hundreds and thousands
OF exposure and hunger.
The direct object of this fiendish cru
city is TO bring to terms the Cuban patriots
whom he cannot and knows he cannot
agony he inflicts upon them in thus tortur
ing and numbering their friends, fathers,
mothers, sisters and children. All this is
thoroughly well understood by President
Mckinley, having been reported to the
State Department by the consul general at
Havana and other consular officers in
Cuba. 1t also is thoroughly known to him
that the frightful atrocities narrated from
day to day in the columns of this journal
have been and are not only true but under
stated.
In the city of MatanZas there are several
thousand miserable wretches, including not
less than two hundred American citizens
sick, naked and starving to dcath in the
streets. Our consul at MatanZss, who has
spent all his little personal means to re
heve such distress as he secretly could, re-
Gently bought a thousand Ioayes CT bread
to distribute among these dying wretches
He was sternly forbidden to relieve them
by the Spanish authorities. This hideous
fact is as well known to President McKin-
ley, President of the United States, as
1t is to us.
We make the direct issue Either what
we say is true or il is false. II true,
what excuse can the Administration offer
to the country OF before God and humanity
II false, we challenge anybody to show it,

The Terror left the fleet off Tompkins-
Vile, about l o'clock, to go to Norfolk,
Va The Penelope tried to make harbOr
about this time. There was no fog, but
the vessels crashed into each other off
quarantine. There was clearly the grossest
kiudof caTeIessuess somewhere. The captain
of the yacht blames the monitor; the captain
of the monitor blames the yacht Both
vessels stopped their engines before the
crash came, and it only had the force Of
momentum and the current
The monitor struck the yacht a giancing
blow on the starboard side, smashing her
bulwarks The Penelope's bow was also
badly stove in before she got clear OF the
Terror, and her foretopmast broke in
two, and hung by the rigging.
When it was seen that the yacht could
keep afloat, Capt. Harm gton, OF the
Terror, put back 30 the fleet to report the
collision to the admiral The yacht made
her way to South Brooklyn, where she will
