New Notes From Thornwell Orphanage. Thc total listed family of this insti tution today, including pupils and teachers, is 225. We aro in tho midst of tryiug epidc demio of measles. There arc today for ty-four sick and more cases expected, This occasions considerable expenso, and our friends will bear our sick children in mind. Perhaps one half of our whole family will have the dis ease. We badly need some new cots in tho Infirmary. Twenty-five dol?an would found a cot to bear the name o! the donor. Ono of the very satisfactory thingf connected with this Orphanage is tia demand for its graduates as teachers All of tho last class were at once pro vided with schools and as many mon could have boen arranged for. Ic June next quite a large class of younj > teaohers will be sent out. Six moro orphans have been receiv ed during the month just ended , Quite a number of other applicat ion! i are before us, perhaps above ono hun dred. Tho Thornwell Orphanage doei not receive children with a father, noi . orphans with a living mother, if th< ' mother is able to pay for their sup ? port. The payment of five dollars a monti constitutes any ohnroh, Sabbatl sohool, sooiety or individual the pa tron of one orphan. We will be glad to reoieve dona ' tions of books for the Library, spooi mema for the Museum and bread foi \ the ohildren and to furnish informa ' tion at any and all times to those wh< desire it. Regular monthly contribu ? tions would go a long way toward re i lieving the pressure upon us. 1 Address Rev. W. P. Jacobs, Clin - ton, S. C. 1 The Devil Arter Sam Jones, ' Navasota, Texas, Jan. 26.-In re ! ply to your telegram of inquiry: Thi Devil and tho Dutch of Dallas are oi the war path ?md out gunning for any j body that's against their personal lib erty and Turn Verein rights. I was lecturing in Turner hall (it be . longs to the Turn Verein Bociety) ii ' Dallas last Friday night, as one of thi * attractions of the People's Lyoeun ' Course. Turner Hall has a beer garder ' around it and a saloon under ft, andi ! is considered bombproof agaust an] and all oomers on prohibition as tem perance and had so announced to th t manager of the lecture course. But my friends know I am by tem 5 perance like a Baptist is by water. 1 always bring it in before lam done f So, I advised ibo youDg men that i 1 they wanted io set there and sta< ' there they must be sober and pure etc. i At this the boorah began behind th? ? scenes on the stage. The Dutoh wen , mad and jabbering in Dutch and oe ! casionally saying, "We won't stand ! dat," etc. Then the lights were turn ' cd oil and a Dutchman came out oi i thc stage and said, "you was a liar.' Then some one turned on the fool lights and thc great weli-roundci , Dutchman began a hasty retreat, or it Q-'ier words the fizzing beer kej bounced off the platform. Then th< lights were turned on and I proceeded to tho close of the lecture without fur , ther disturbance. The incident had stirred Dallas profoundly and I re turned Sunduy. Friends rented the ' opera house. I was announced to speak to men only. When in compa ny with friends I walked up to the opera house thc doors were locked and lights out and a crowd of ton or fifteen thousand men in the streets ?round. I mounted ajcarriage and the crowd ' became quiet and I spoke for more than an hour to as orderly a crowd as I ever preached to in a church. When I had been speaking nearly an hour, Mayor Cobble came to me ?nd said: "Mr. Jones, the opera ! house is now open audfuiiof men and at your service." I replied that I had 10,000 listening to me and would not quit that job to go into thc opera house to talk to 1,800 people. Tho Turn Verein society has, by its president, sat down on thc Dutchman that turn ed off the lights andjmade the racket, and Dallas is profoundly stirred and desirous that the world shall know that Sam Jones shall have a hearing when ever he comes that way.-Kev. i Sam.
