SAM JONES' NEW CLOTHES.
Evangelist Returns From Boston
With New Shoes and Hat.

Evangelist Returns From Boston
With New Shoes and Hat.
The annexed article is from the
Cartersville News, the Home paper Of
the South's popular evangelist and
lecturer:
Rev. Sam P. Jones, accompanied by
his daughter. Mrs~Graham, arrived
home from Boston Wednesday even
ing on the Rome express. They were
MT in Atlanta by Mrs. Jones, who
accompanied them home. The dis
tinguished evangelist looked radiant
in glistening silk hat and patent
leather shoes, and blind man could
have told that he was just from "Baw-
ston." The newspapers state that
Mr.. Jones made a capture of the city
of culture, but from his appearance it
would seem as il the beaneaters cap
tured him His friends are somewhat
panied over the change, and as they
give utterance to the most gloomy
forebodings. Some of them even go
so far as to predict that "the first
thing you know he will be staying up
o. nights plating his toes, that he
might be enabled to get his pedal ex-
tremities into these newfangled
shoes" But, then, there are Others
who say they don't care what he wears
so long as he remains the same great
power for the good of humanity that
he has been since his ministerial work
began.

BENT UPON TARIFF.
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
TO BE DEVOTED TO 1T.
The Plan is Favored by Speaker Reed
of the House-SeveralC Committees
Will Not be Appointed
Until Next Winter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Speaker
Reed appears to favor the plan of the
incoming Administration to conf1oe
the work of the extra session strictly
to tariff making. Some time ago
Chairman Dingley Of the Ways and
Means Committee intimated very
strongly that the programme to be
recommended by the leaders Of the
House would provide for the passage
of the new tariff bill within thirty
days and for the transaction Of no
other legislation. The programme
also involves the plans of adjourning
the House three days at time after
the tariff bill is disposed of, in order
to let the country understand that
they must look to the Senate for the
passage of the bill and the adjourn
ment of Congress.
Mr.. Reed has not yet formally an
nouuced his Endorsement OF this poll
cy, but he has no hesitancy in saying
that he rather favors the idea of hold
ing the special session strictly to the
work of passing tariff bill, and with
that end in view he will probably re-
frain from appointing the standing
committees of the House until the
regular session in December next.
Four committees, of course, will be
appointed. namely, Rules, Ways and
Means, Mileage and Accounts, be-
cause they are necessary for the trans
action of business connected with the
tariff bill.
But as for the Banking and Cur
rency, and all the other committees,
it is probable that they will not be
appointed until next winter.

sent. Harris says it is not the pur-
pose to remove President Holiday, or
any member of the faculty, or to in
terfere in any of the arrangements,
beyond taking charge OF the college
He was asked if John E. Ray would
continue as the principal of the school
for the blind here, and replied that he
would not be toucted that if any
change were contemplated it would be
his removal to Morganton to become
principal Of the deaf-mute school
there.

REV. L. w. CRAWFORD'S VISIT.
He Writes Abont His Trip to Win

Rev. L W. Crawford, one of the
editors OF the North Carolina Chris
tian Advocate, has many nice things
to say in his paper about our Method
ist churches, etc. He says:
I'VE found Rev. J. A B Fry, of
Grace church, in waiting for US at tue
depot, and in little while we were
enjoying the hOspitalities of his
charming little family. We have
known SISTER Fry from girl and it
was very pleasant TO be Der guest in
her new and comfortable home.
REV. w M. Curtis, whose efficient
ly served the charge for the last four
years and TO whom the present occu-
pants feel indebted for the parsOn-
age, is most kindly remembered by
the congregation. He left his impress
on the people and they will never for
get him; but like loyal Methodlsts
they have taken hOId of their present
pastor, and are In full sympathy with
his methods and plans Th9y greatly
enjoy his preaching and appreciate his
work. Bro. Fry reports the Sunday
school, under the Superintendency OF
Il. b. Crawford, in a fine condition
and growing, the EpwOrth League as
doing we'll, and the outlook for the
congregation very encouraging We
enjoyed preaching to his people and
hope the seed sown will bear fruit in
season.
AT night we preaced for Rev. G.
w. Callahan, at Burkhead Church,
and had very attentive and respon.
sive congregation, Bro. Callahan is a
veteran itinerant. He has been long
in the field, but is as devoted to the
work as ever. His prayer at the close
OF the sermon was fun Of pathos and
power and gave Us a spiritual uplif5
This is his first year on the charge
His predecessor, Rev. S. d. Sta
mey, had for two years been abund-
ant in labors and his successor has
taken up the work where he left it
and is pushing it forward He is a
popular preacher and his congregation
is growing. We greatly enjoyed
spending the night with brother and
sister Callahan and renewing a friend
ship OF long years standing. As the
work in the office forced US to return
on the morning train we did not have
time to call on brother Greasy and
other friends we desired to see. We
hope before long to spend another
Sabbath in the Twin-Clty and see
something of the good people of Cen
tenary Church and their popular pas
