REVIVAL SERVICES.
Dr. Guerrant Eloquently Explains Mean
 ing of Salvation.

The second week of the revival services being conducted at the First Presbyterian church by Dr. Guerrant of Kentucky be- gan yesterday, and they continue to at tract great interest.
 Dr. Guerrant took for his theme last night what the nature of the salvation which was offered to man really was, and how such salvation affected the mortal who had received it.
 "The greatest difficulty which I have," said he, land which all ministers have to contend with is to make men realize what a great thing the salvation which Christ offers them really is. If a man came to Birmingham and said he was going to SUD- ply every household in the city with light, free of cost, he would be received with open arms. If man came and said he would cure all cases of consumption, he would be hailed as a public benefactor And yet Christ offers eternal and everlast- ing life, and so few believe Him.
 There will be services in the church again this morning at 1O:30; in the after noon, a service service for women at noon a service for women at 9:3O, and at 7:30 the regular evening service.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The Waldorf-Astoria uses 14O tons of coal every twenty-four hours during the winter months. It is all of the pea and buckwheat sizes, and is dumped from the carts into an opening in the ground in the middle of the Astor Court roadway. It falls into hop per which holds about 10000 pounds, and from there 1t is carried on an endless chain provided with buckets to a vast coalbin which has capacity of FOO tons. Daylight never reaches ths bin, which with its few blinking lights and great piles of coal reaching nearly to the vaulted roof, looks like a corner in coal mine and little like an annex to a palatial hotel. By an ar rangeent of levers the coal may be dumped from the buckets at various points. so that with the aid of shoveler it may be evenly distributed in the bin.
 The boiler room is situated lower down in the ground, and the coal reaches the fire boxes without being handled. When the

A MARVELLOUS OLD WOMAN.

An automobile ride on her one-hun-
dred and eighth birthday was the re-
markable experience of Mrs. Sarah
Terry, of No. 545 North Sixteenth
street, Philadelphia, last week. Mrs.
Terry had been anticipating this event
for the past year, and her delight in
whirling around Philadelphia in a
horseless carriage was unbounded. She
had ridden in one of the first steam
trains in the country, and her expe-
rience in an automobile was remarka-
BILE to one who had seen the gradual
development of steam and electricity
during her long life.
Mrs. Terry was born in Pemberton,
n. j., in 179l, her father being Stacy
Doron, soldier in the Revolutionary
War, who ii d from the effects of his
campains. She was adopted by a
Quaker family named Campion, who
carefully educated her, and, as she has
spent many years residing abroad, she
is an interesting talker, especially on
events which happened years ago. To
a casual observer Mrs. Terry appears
at least thirty years younger than she
really is. She is remarkably well
preserved, and her carriage, which has
always been distinguishing character
istic, remains as dignified and impos-
ing as ever. She rises at seven o'clock
every morning, and goes unassisted
down one flight of stairs to the break
fast table. She spends the day in
chatting with visitors, of whom she
has many, and in short maps in an
easy chair Occasionally she is taken
out for carriage ride by some mem
Der Of the Revolutionary Society. At
night, precisely at seven o'clock, Mrs.
Terry is assisted to her room. She
sleeps but little at night. Her appe-
tite is good. Physicians say that this
marvellous little woman may retain
life for more than one year to come,
for her physical condition is excellent.

CATARRII CAN BE CURED

By eradicting from the blood the
scrofulous .ants which causeit. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly
and permanently, because it strikes at
the root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate pas
sages of the mucous membrane, soothes
and rebuilds the tissues, giving them
tendency to health instead OF disease,
and ultimately curing the affection.
At The same time Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla strengthens, invigorates and ener-
gizes the whole system and makes the
dcbilitated victim of catarrh feel that
new life has been impaired.
Do not daily with snulfs, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh
absolutely and surely by removing the
causes which produce it..
