Jubilee Temperance Service.

Last Sunday night monster mas
meeting representing all the loea
churches and those of no church as
sembled at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in grand jubilee temperance
service, celebrating the passing OF the
open saloon from the great State Of
Tennessee. 1t was an occasion for
which many have longed and prayed
during life time and certainly it will
not soon be forgotten by the large
audience assembled. Appropriate and
soul stirring songs were sung and every
one seemed to feel the thrill of the
hour.
1t was wholly service for laymen,
the ministers only conducting the de-
votional part of the service. Rev. j.
L. Hudgins presided, Rev. w. G. Sell
lers read the scriptures, Rev. j. j.
Castleberry offered the prayer and Rev.
f. L. Watson dismissed the audience.
The first speaker was Hon. ]. l..
Fry. He was at his best as he eloquently
told of the gradual passing of the liquor
traffic and in an imprisoned speech he
predicted that it would never return nor
hlacken the fair face of Tennessee again.
He argued that there was nothing but
death and ruin in the liquor evil for
our homes, our boys, our land l. and
that it therefore has no place among
civilized people. Mr.. Fry was followed
by w. G. Reynolds, who is one of our
strongest and most promising advocates
of temperance reform. He spoke ear
neStly on the subject, saying that from
a child he had been in favor of remov-
ing the saloon just as far as possible.
He said that he thanked God that the
time had come when good people would
speak out on this subject and that he
hoped never to see the day when the
ministers, who are looked upon as our
moral leaders and examples, would
wear paddock upon their mouths in
regard to this greatest of all curses that
blight our land. His speech made a
good impression upon all present.
Representing the w. G. 7. u, Mrs.
w. L. White then made short but
beautiful address She told of the
tremendous organization of the temper
ance women, and, of course, expressed
her great JOY at the passing saloon. Next
came Senator McRee, who in happy
manner rehearsed the story of his con-

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13.-Rumblings
and earthquake shocks continue to be
felt in the vicinity of Mount Colima,
and the eruption has not ceased, al
though cinders are not spreading over
such a large area.
During the eruptions ashes and Gin
ders fell on the towns of Colima, Tux
pan, Capotlan and other towns in the
vicinity, and forests were set on fire
by the discharge from the smoking
mountain.
Wild animals rushed into settlements
almost tame from fright, and people
rushed from their homes. News from
Coalcoman, Patzeuaro Ario and Ia
camambrio is that the earth has been
trembling there almost constantly since
the eruption commenced, and the Npeo-
pie are terrorized.
Today there were a number of loud
subterranean detonations, followed by
a rain of hot sand, which covered a
large area and completely killed the
vegetation.
Neighboring towns and villages are
covered with dust and ashes. A stream
of lava a mile long is flowing from the

railroad man, the switch key found on
the recovered body served to further
confirm her belief the corpse is that of

It is believed that there is no ques-

taken into the city, counts as residence
in Pasadena.
There was talk today of possible
