TOLD ON SAM JONES.

Many amusing things were heard In the
crowd of white and colored people that
surrounded the Tabernacle during the
Jones colored meeting last night. One old
negro. slouchy and unkempt, with the
CRIME of the days work still upon him,
and in him dram from the cup that in
ebriates, had been unable to get a seat
WITHIN the Tabernacle, so steadied and
supported himself against the railing
around it, and kept the audience in reach
OF his voice highly amused by his COM
ments on the utterances of the evange-
list.
Rev Mr.. Jones had just said that the
colored preacher that "gallanted around
with the sisters had better be fired" or
words to that effect, when the old man
burst out with Oats my text, too-sure"
The last word with such emphasis as to
leave the impression that he knew by
personal experience, and felt deeply, the
force of the speakers remark. Then look
ing again toward the platform he caught
sight of a colored minister smiling. This
seemed to irritate him and ne broke out
with Huh! Dere's a niger on de stand
now what amt got no wife and wat
rights he got to laugh"
To this question he evidently failed to
evolve satisfactory answer, for he fell
to listening again with the greatest atten-
ton until another sally from the preacher
seemed to hit home and strike him as a
little too personal even though true, for
ne pulled himself together and shuff1ed
toward the outskirts of the crowd NUT
tering with another preparatory grunt,
Dat man say he's done been born and
bred wild niggers, and he's sure must a

In an effort to Offset Jones argu-
ment the other day "a grumbler" called
attention to a report that following the
evangelists visit to Waycross one per-
son was seen to HE himself out under
the suburban pines, produce flask and
take a nip. How this could happen in
a community which had been supposedly
educated against the use of liquor was
something the grumbler couldn't under
stand. He maintained that after Mr.
Jones leaves Savannah a few scattering
toddies will be taken. Therefore, since
Jones don't stop drinking by those who
hear and those who don't hear him, he's
not tn man for the place"
But, according to what Mr.. Jones told
a Savannah man on an Atlanta sleeper
several days ago, he does not expect his
preaching to accomplish absolute abb
stinence among all classes.
Il fear that Savannah may in some re-
spects be like white pig" Jovialy re-
marked the evangelist. You, may apply
brushes and rub until he is spotless. And

nah from wallowin' after I leave, I'm

WILL RIDE KINGS HORSES.
Success of Jockey Danny Maher on
 English Tracks.

New York. Nov. A-According to the New Market, England. correspondent of The World. Danny Maher. the little American jockey, is now the premier rid CT of, the world He has been engaged to ride the horses in charge of Trainers T. B. Blackwell and Richard Marsh at the combined salary of $35.000 for the next season. the highest amount ever paid any jockey in the world for years work in the saddle. Marsh trains for King Edward VII. The engagement of Maher as jockey is regarded a tactful way of expressing the Kings opinion that he is not prejudiced against American rid CTS. Maher spoke to The World repre- sentative on the subject of his being engaged to ride King Edwards horses as follows:
 My first engagement next season is for the Blackwells stables and Richard Marsh is to have second call on my services. Mir Marsh trains for King Ed ward, and my retainer, of course, in- cludes riding the Kings horses.
 This has been the most successful season I have ever had I have ridden eighty-five winners this year I rode three today think the English tracks are better than the American courses. The former are much easier to ride on. have been treated very well. I will go to my home In Hartford, Conn.,, in De- cember, but will return here in March. It Is possible the Kings horses may be again leased next year to the Duke of Devonshire, in which event l shall not ride the Kings colors."
