in their old habits, preachers and
members will all 90 to hell.
Dr.. Jones and Stewart held their
meetings at different places. AT the
9Th StreetTobaccoW Warehouse for men
only Sam Jones spoke. In the talk al
the warehouse he spoke of the race
course. Said it WAS a grandsight to see
every horse and rider on the home
stretch, with nOstrils distended, and
riders doing everything to win. He
did not think 1t was so bad to see
them run, but that the dirty dogs
that bet made 1t so. Said he had not
seen a race for % years. If he was
passing by race course and big
race was on hand, he would 10 one
eye on it and see it. He tnen gave a
glowing description of a race between
Two rival railroad trains, whose
tracks ran parallel for 20 miles. Sam
was on Big -Four train, with II
coaches and sleepers, MOgul engine
pulling. The other train consisted of
6 coaches, passenger engine pulling.
The race was neck and neck for some
distance, excitement was intense, but
the train Sam was betting on was
left behind. Sam went into his sleep
er and remained there until Cincin-
natl was reached. Was taken to his
hotel and requested to be cOmfOrted.
A doctor was called who told the
trained nurse to keep an eye on Sam,
that his tundcy organ was disturbed.
In Sans concluding speech at the
warehouse his talk was grand. Said
he hoped to live to see the day come
when the Savior comes, to see Cath
Ollie trains, Methodist all other de-
nominations all headed for heaven.
with their heavenly songs and shouts,
saying we are all 'going home to die
no mOre," where there are no tears.
Sam never said one word about the
poor Baptists or Campbellites. Stand
ing right behind your poor Uncle
Zeke were four or five old bald
headed fellows. One said to another
III always told you that close COM
muniOn would damn the Baptists."
Man addressed: Eyes, and L always
told you water regeneration would
damn the Campbellites."
Jones said when the train reached
bend in the river they found the
Baptists on an island to themselves;
would have nothing to do with the
Campbt liites, whose clothes were all
wet. That was a lick at i'm
merSiOn.
DIR. Ste xart gave a splendid talk
on our influence over others. Splen-
did order at all the meetings that
your Uncle attended.
When Sam Jones came to Louis
vile the Baptist Jubilee was on hand.
Sam went to the 9th Street Tobacco
Warehouse and from thence to the
Bourbon Stock Yard and found those
that sold oxen and sheep, hogs and
cattle and changers OF money sitting
near barroOms.
When he had made a scourge of
small cords he drove them all out to
woodland garden and lashed them
so we'll that the commissioners UNI
derstOod their business. Well, they
separated or sorted cattle and put
the best of the cattle together, and best
of sheep, hogs, and so on through.
The best of each class he called thor
oughbreds, some scallawags, some
Gamers and some bOlognas. The
last class numbers had to be fed to
make fourth class bolOgnas.
Sam called men who were true to
their marriage vows, who drank no
whisky, who did not gamble, thor
oughbreds. Those who were not
true to pledges made their good

Said some men were so deadened
that they would have to do better or
they would not be accepted in hell.
In one of Sans speeches he was
asked if he was not afraid to be so
hard on whisky drinkers and whisky
sellers. He replied, mo, sir; Pm not
afraid of any man." Said he was
like the 'possum who, on one occa.
sion, met a polecat. The cat proposed
a fight with the 'possum. The
'possum replied, Mr.. Cat, Pm not
afraid to fight you; but l would be
to go home to my wife ana
children after fighting you"
One little news reporter, Smart
Alec, wrote some structures that
were not true. ON Jones and Stewart.
AT the next meeting the piece was
read out so that all could hear 1t.
Sam called the attention of the vast
concourse of people and asked if the
article was true. He requested those
who thought that it was false to rise
to their feet. The vote was unanl-
nous. The poor little reporter, with
the shell knocked off Of his head, ran
home. Sam said he ought to be
treated like the people in his country
treated polecats, namely, to raise the
corner OF the fence and his head slip
