At Its regular weekly meeting yesterday

Preachers Meeting discussed the question
of 'Hndrances to Revivals." 1t also pass
ed resolutions recommending all churches,
Sunday schools and other organizations of
the Methodist denomination to patronize, in
making arrangements for picnics and ex-

amusements that are not in harmony with
their principles as Christians. The minis
tiers were requested to inform their official
boards and Sunday schools of their action
and endeayor, as far as practicable, to have
them conform to the same
Arrangements We're made for an excur-
sion by the Ministers Association to Gly-
mont the fourth Monday in June. 1t was

BIG INJUN-FLOWEk

From the New York Press.
 All over Wall street men are talking of Uncle Roswell Pettibone Flower One banker declares: "ae is the biggest man we've had in the street since Gould" Here is what another says: In the morning when the crowd is sitting in his office one of the firm will go around and ask each how many shares of stock he wants to buy. Suppose it is Federal Steel the old man is booming. John, how much of it do you want? One hundred shares George, how much? Fifty shares. Paul, how much? Two hundred shares. Alexander, how much? Seventy five shares. Johnny, how much? A hun dred shares. Benny, how much? Two hun dred shares, uncle. A pool is made up of two or three thousand shares, and on the following morning the boys walk in and get their checks" 'But," I asked, Suppose the stock goes down?" "Oh, well, we never hear anything about that. We leave that to Uncle Ros. But you can bet that what ever he touches these days turns to gold. He is the magic wand of the street.. He makes money for everybody around him and picks up few good things for himself now and then" 4r

Fees are still necessary in the high school. but when the debt is refunded, and the new tax rate applied, even those fees can be topped off, and the entire system be- come free, as it should and must be. There are at present sixty-one white and twenty two colored teachers in the seven public schools, involving a monthly pay roll of SS,S4S The enrolment stands at present at S649.

RUNAWAY HACK
Game Near Killing John Corners Last
 NightIn Serious Condition.

Last night shortly after 10 o'clock two runaway horses attached to a hack, came tearing down Second avenue toward Twen- tieth street, and just at the corner, ran over John Corners, who lives at Doiomite. He formerly came from Demopols and his people now live at that place.
 The injured man was taken at once into Nortons drug store, where his injuries were examined by Dr. Copeland. He was badly bruised and cut up about the face, and there were thought to be other injuries. He was taken at once to the Hillman hos pital where every attention was shown him. Dr. Copeland pronounced him in a very serious condition.
 The runaway team belonged to Dan Nef- ley, the little humpbacked driver. As Dan was mounting his hack about Twen- ty-fifth street and Second avenue. the horses took fright at something, and broke into run down the avenue. They threw the driver off the hack and continued their wild run with reins flying. It is said that Corners did not see the-team coming, and walked immediately in front of them

RECORD BIRTH OF LIONS

From the London Chronicle.
 The large staff connected with MT. Sang CTS well known circus and menagerie, which is now stationed at it's winter quar- ters, Willesden Junction, where they are fitting out for next season, were thrown into state of unwonted excitement yes- terday morning by an event which is quite unprecedented in the recollection of any of them. This was the birth of six lions. On one of the attendants going to the den where the lioness Victoria was caged he was astonished to find that she had given birth to six cubs. This is believed to be a record birth, the number of cubs varying from one to four, as rule. The mother and cubs are in healthy and thriving con- dition. and there is every prospect of rear ing all the cubs. It is intended to name the animals after the royal princess and princesses. The mother was christened Victoria by the late Duke of Clarence, at York, and the father of the cubs was chris tened Oscar by King oscar of Sweden, on board his yacht in the Margate Roads some few years back, in the presence of MT. H. Green, the then mayor of Margate, and sev- eral of the town councillors MT. Sanger is highly delighted with what he is pleased to call his Christmas box. He has been snowman all his life, and has never heard of lioneSS giving birth to six cubs before

A BiIi of Unsound Exceptions.

dispensary bill that is applicable to one county and not applicable to the next coun- ty would a farce and asource of derange- ment in trade, and of uncomfortable em- barrassment to all. If the system be desir- able as a means of revenue, 1t is as deslr- able in Montgomery as in Birmingham, in Shelby as in Bibb county. If the system be desirable as means of regulating and managing the liquor traffic, then certainly 1t is nlogical-yea, absurd-to except any counties.
 The bill should be made as broadly ap- plicable as the state is broad, else it's application should be postponed until pub lie sentiment in all parts of the state grows up to it. Look at the absurdity of the case as it stands. Birmingham is to have a dis pensary and Montgomery is to be run wide open on the license plan, although it is both a county seat and a state seat. If the public good demands the dispensary system in any city in the state, it demands it in Montgomery. But the bill as it
 
 trade shall be driven out of Birmingham and concentrated in Montgomery. The state capital would become, in other words, the headquarters of the liquor traffic; and a strong local interest would spring. up in favor of it's maintenance. Is this desirable? :?
 The other distinctions are equally unwise and unsound. Troy, in Pike county, is to have a dispensary but Greenville, in But Ter county may have a score of saloons, and the farmer who desires to get full of booze after marketing load of cotton will drive twenty miles out of his way to reach Greenville and the moral condition of Greenvne would be worse than before. Similar eases can be found in every section of the state The bill as it stands is an effort on the part of twenty-two. counties to gain the trade of boxers atrthe expense of the other forty-four cednties The twen- tY-tMo ousae-not to desire such trade, nor ought the forty-four to be punished in any such manner.
 The very truth is, the exceptions are in defensibe if the system be good at all. Bet ter than the bill as it stands would be bill that, while general, admitting of no excep- tions, should be of a voluntary, instead of a compulsory, nature. Each county could then by popular vote take its choice. But the true position is this-make the bill uni versal within the state bounds, or else let it go over to the next legislature. The ca pricious determinations of the present Dill, not one of which may have the sanction of the people affected, are wholly untenable and fallacious, and they will prove source of mischief in all sections of the state.

SchleY and Sampson.

If the rule that has made Admiral George Dewey first among our naval commanders in all minds were applied to occurrences during the war in the West Indies, it would be found that Admiral Schley is an easy second Dewey takes first place on account of the value of his achievements, and on account of the celerity and skill with which he did his work, and on account, too, of his subsequent tact in conserving the is- land empire that he conquered. No one questions his right to all the honors that can be conferred upon him. No one wishes to withhold from the great Vermonter single laurel. The country honors itself when it honors the hero of Manila bay.
 When the Dewey rule is still farther ap- piled, 1t becomes very plain that Admiral Schley must be accorded second place, be- cause the destruction of Cervera's fleet vir- tualy ended the war, bringing Spain at once to realization of her hopeless con- dition in the pending struggle and resulting in a treaty that practically transfers to this country Spains colonial system. Span ish generals and Spanish statesmen may not have been sanguine at the outset of the war, but they became convinced that peace at any price must be had when Cerveras ships were driven on the beach by the as- Texas and Massachusetts, all led and com manded by Admiral Schley
 Admirals Sampson and Watson are ex- cellent officers. No fault is be found with either. Either would perhaps have done brilliant work if opportunity had come to them in the war of 113 days, but opportu- mites did not come, and an opportunity did come to Admiral Schley, and he gloriously improved 1t. The case is just this: shall Sampson or Watson be rewarded for what might have been, or shall Schley receive credit for what he actually did? Shall the gallant Maryiander be treated according to his merits as the great Vermonter has been call for a prolonged congressional wrangle or for a newspaper and magazine warfare. It seems to be a very simple case. Schley won his laurels just as Dewey did Give Dewey first place, and place Schley next be- low him. The matter is one of consider able importance, because justice should be done. The administration has specially taken Admiral Sampson under it's wings. but the administration is not empowered to determine what the people shall think concerning the comparative merits of it's admirals and generals.

LETTER FROM CHINA.
Miss Emma Boardman Writes of the
 Calamity at Hangchow.

Owensboro, January 2S.-(Special)- Age-Herad correspondent has been fur nished with the enclosed extracts from a letter by Mrs. Emma Boardman, young lady of this place, who is now missionary to China, which vii lbe of interest to many people of the state, particularly to mem bers of the Presbyterian church. to which she belongs.
 Miss Boardman has been in China five years in the cause of missions, to which she has devoted her life service. She is the daughter of Volney Boardman, who for many years was a prominent and highly respected citizen of this community and a leading member of the Presbyterian church.
 His daughter, although a frail and deli cate young lady, has braved perils by land and sea to enlighten the minds and to save the souls of the heather Chinese, for which she deserves as much credit as if she had sunk Merrimac or destroyed Ger Vera'S fleet.
 Hangchow China, December IT, 1S9S.- Perhaps ere this you have heard from cablegram to our committee at Nashville of our dreadful calamity, The powder mag azine (said to contain 0,000 pounds of powder), about quarter of a mile from us, exploded last night, December 16, about 6:30, with wreckage to our mission proper ty, but our hearts are overfiowing with thanksgiving to God that none of our mem- bers are seriously hurt. It is a miracle and Gods wonderful preserving care that we are saved Two of our houses, Mrs. Hud- sons and the school and the little church are a perfect wreck, and Miss Emerson's and MT. Stewards almost as bad. There is not an outside door to any house and the inner ones are in splinters. The window frames and glass are in fragments, the walls cracked, ceiling down. We were only preserved because the Lords hand covered us. At the magazine 100 Chinese soldiers were encamped, 1t Is said; not a fragment of the poor fellows Is to be found.
 Three of the school girls were cut badly and numbers have slight injuries. Mrs. Hudson and Miss Emerson received cuts on the head and I have some bruises, though not serious Wonderful that we were not seriously hurt by the falling timber, as we rushed from the houses. Between sey- enty-five and eighty Christians on our com pound, all around us houses destroyed or injured, but not one life lost. It grieves our hearts that this additional burden should come on our committee and dear home church. The poor Chinese have suffered, too. but their houses are not such wreck as ours being lower and mostly mud walls Another evidence of Gods goodness, though there were lights and fires in all the houses, every light was put out, and, though some stoves were turned over and broken, noth- ing caught fire. If our houses had not been so wrecked we would probably have suf- fered at the hands of the Chinese.
