Probably the most interesting mem
Der OF Or. Torrey's party is w. S.
Jacoby. He will address several meet
ings, and men i'm particular will want
TO hear him. for he is mighty strong
man. His life has been one of adj
venture, and there is no more splendid
example of what Christ can do for
fallen man. lie has shared all
the vices and most of the crimes of
men-he has proved his physical
manhood in. many ways and the re-
ligion that reached him has in II moth
ing of the mollyooddle or sissy.
Here are a few points from Mr.
Jacoby's record. lie was orderly for
Gen. Custer during several of the
famous Indian fighters greatest cam
paigns, and knew all the great fight
ers OF the border. He was saved from
the Custer massacre by being dis
honorably discharged from the Army
there was no objection to his soldier
ing, but he took to fighting booze
as well as Indians and got into
trouble. lie was present at the ring
side in New Orleans, when John L.
Sullivan won the worlds champion
ship from Kilrain in 76 rounds of
fighting with the bare fists-the
others in his little party were a bar
tender, a confidence man, and a bur
glar. He was a friend of Pat Grove,
the famous bandit who held up trains
and kidnapped the son of one of
Americas richest men. He was a
famous poker player, and for a while
made his living by gambling. He re-
fereed a fight in Omaha when there
were present Parson Davies, the
great prize fight promoter, Reagan,
and Peter Jackson, the greatest ne
gro fighter that ever lived. lie is
such husky man that he was many
times taken for Kilrain when that
great fighter was alive. He is a man
all right. Now he is a redeemed
man, and can tell other men about
