REcoLLEcTioNs OF PETER CART.

STRONG IN BODY AND MIND
He Was as Ready for a Fight as an
Argument-Stories of His Methods

Opponent of SIavery-Other Inter.
estng Events.

W. II. Hinrichsen gives in the Chi
Ca@o Inter Ocean some interesting
"reminiscences of Peter Cartwright,
the celebrated Methodist revivalist.
Cartwright was Dom IN Virginia in
1885 and while IN infant was carried
by his parents to Kentucly y, at that
time a wilderness inhabited by hostile
Indians At the age Of l6 he was con-
vertcd. and at Is began preaching.
For more than 20 years he Travelled
over the states CT Kentucky, Tenn
csscc, southern Indiana and Illinois,
preaching to the people of the frontier
settlements and carrying with him
everywhere the pecuIiarities of his
strong and original character.
In 1924, when 80 years old he re-
moved to Illinois and settled in Sanga-
mon county at place called Pleasant
Plains, where he lived, or rather made
his headquarters, till his DEATH which
took place in 1872, at the age of 81.
During his 80 years residence in
Illinois he travelled over every part of
the state, and probably preached in
'.''' y N''lbg VI tli' HNttNNs anu III lllOGJ
Of them Preached many times.
He was powerful in body and in
mind, always ready for an argument
and no less ready for a fight. He
was in the habit of saying that he
loved everybody but feared nobody,
not even the devil, and he was ready
at any time to fight Satan or any of
hi, t,lIf
leagues say once that Uncle Peters
success in making converts was due
to the pugnacity Of his nature. He.
continued:
"Fhc wild, unruly population of Hi
nois had a contempt for religion as it
had been taught them, because it
meant gcntlcncss and fOrbearanCc, the
forgiveness of our enemies, the re-
turn of good for evil, and so on. Mr.. !
Cartwright came among them preach
ing this same theory but thrashing
those who disputed with him. He
taught them to love one another, but
to be ready for physical battle at all
times, to fear no man and to show
it, His practice was Almost equal to
prCselyting by the sword and was al
most as effective. The wild, untamed
youth in Illinois goricd in being fol
overs of Peter Cartwright, for to them
1t meant not only to be religious and
sure of salvation, but to be indie
pendent, fearless and able to take
care Of themselves. And this suited
them, Like Uncle Peter, when smit-
ten on one check they turned the
other only to get a better view OF
the antagonist, and they felt that by /
belonging to his church they enjoyed |
much of the respect accorded him" !

FRENCH AS ADVERTISERS.

l always thought that the Ameri-
cans were the best advertisers in
the world, but, to my mind, the
French run them very close You
may not know that all the French
papers publish every day one or two
columns of echoes, composed OF
short and pithy paragraphs, com
menting on the news of the day.
You may not either know that by
paying a very high price for it you
may have one of those echoes" de
voted to advertising whatever your
goods may be, a book, a play. as
well as soap or oil for making the
hair grow. l was beautifully caught
the other day while reading the
echoes OF a Paris morning paper.
This echo was entitled "Found-A
Pocketbook full of Banknotes," ana
ran thus:
Yesterday, on the racecourse OF
Longchamps, a pocketbook was pick
ed up by the police containing bank
notes to the value of 1880 francs.
l. evidently belonged to a foreigner
passing through Paris. There was
no letter. no card, to identify the
owner. The only indication that
may lead to the discovery of the
possessor was a note, written in
pencil, advising all visitors to Paris
to dine at is restaurant, Rue St.
Honore, and nowhere else-MaX

Many stories are told of his methods
of converting sinners and disposing OF
the unTuly. On one occasion, says
Mr.. Hinrichsen, a large number OF
rowdies undertook to break up one OF
his meetings by interrupting the
speaker Uncle Peter, as he was
called, left the stand and the rowdies
shouted in triumph. But not for
long In a few minutes Uncle Peter
appeared, carrying a great hickory
bludgeOn, and followed by a group OF
% or 80 young men similarly armed
the famous preachers guard"
Uncle Peter took the lead and he led
the guard straight at the rowdies |
cannot describe the fight which fol
lowed, for l was trying to get out of
the way, but | saw Uncle Peter tear
the rufTles off the shirt of the ring
leader of the TOwdies, and l saw the
latter go down under the preachers
weapon Clubs were flying in every
direction, knives and pistols were
used, but the rowdies were defeated,
a dozen or so being made prisoners
and the remainder driven from the
camp.
He was very much opposed to slav-
cry, and indeed gave that as his prin-
cipsl reason for removing from Ken
lucky to Illinois. He said he did not
want to bring up his children under
the influences which slavery exerted
in a slave state At the same time he
was opposed to the abOlitionists and
denounced their methods with great
vigor He insisted that the Metho-
dist church could by showing up the
evils Of slavery, produce the abolition
of that institution by peaceable
means. In 1910 he predicted that the
acts of the aboitionists would yet pro-
duce the disruption of the union and
civil war.
He was a strong democrat in poll
tics, and was, of course a warm ad-
mirer of General Jackson, with whom
he was well acquainted. l have heard
him describe his first meeting with
the hero of New Orleans, and he
seemed proud of it. 1t was shortly
after the close of the War of 1912
that he was preaching at Knoxville
Tenn, when Jackson entered the
church. He was telling the people
how wicked they were, and the
preacher whose pulpit he was filling
stepped behind him and whispered
that Jackson was Desent.
Mr.. Cartwright, speaking in his
loudest voice, said: General Jack
son is present, is he? Well, if he
doesn't mend his ways and become
converted the Lord will damn him as
quick as He would Guinea niger"
The language pleased the General
and after the sermon he greeted Mr.
Cartwright, invited him to visit him,
and they became great friends. Jack
son afterward Joined the Methodist
church, and no doubt his conversion
was due to his association with Peter
Cartwright.
He hated all infidels and never hest
tated to denOunCe them by name from
the pulpit. On one occasion he was
preaching near the residence of one
Major Robinson, ! think, a notorious
infdel, wealthy man and Influential.
The major had in recent speech
ridiculed the Methodist clergy and
them unfavorably with the
class to which he belonged.
MIR. Cartwright denounced the ma
jor and his speech and among other
things said: "Were the major

Legislature Was Liberal.

The colOred folk of the state of Ken
lucky are rejoicing over the fact that
the legislature of that state recently
passed a bill appropriating $4,000 for
new dormitOry for the state normal
school for cOlored folk and S., 900 an.
nually for the maintenance of the
school. In comparison with the
amounts appropriated by Northern
states for similar institutions of learn
ing this is very small sum, but in
comparison with what has been ap-
propriated by the state of Kentucky
for this school, it is an enormous sum
and the colOred folks of that state
have reasons to congratulate them
selves on being so favorably remem-
bered by the legislature. 1t is quite
true that $4,000 would not do very
much toward maintaining a normal
school in any OF the Northern states,
but considering the cheapness of liv-
ing in that state it will be great in
centive for those having charge of the
state normal at Lexington to build up
