Cincinnati don't want to hearj Sam .Jones. In a letter received InChief of Police Mullican, signed by five prominent citizens, protest is made against the Rev Sam Jones, the Georgia evangelist, who is in the third week of a revival meeting at ? " - ^ l-.-i 1 1 MUSIC nail conuucieu Iiuun ukauspices of fhe Evangelical Alliance. The protest is against what is termed "improper language" and "the slurs of the community" said to have been perpetrated by the Rev Sam Jones. "How're you going to do it?" asked Jones when seen regarding the proposition to muzzle him."You can't do it, the militia couldn't; you would have to call out the regular ^ army, and how woulu they do it? J * There were only five prominent citizens on the petition to suppress me. If there are only five who want me suppressed, I'm doing fine. "The generous police says lie cannot suppress me because he says I ain't violating the law. What you want to do is to suppress the newspapers. They carry the report of uiy speeches out to the world or they carry a part of them. They don't report my speeches at all. You - >1 ?- - - ..c .1,^ might as wen cuk? a picture ui me end of my nose and the tip of mv ear and my knee and say this is a picture of Sam Jones, as to say that one of the newsp iper r -ports is one of my sermons.

One of the handsomest stores on King street is that of Louis Cohen ' & Co., which has been extensively remodeled this f^ll, into an em- , porium for fine dry goods in a way that is attracting attention all over the city. With roomy floor space, with very large windows, and with increased facilities for the carpet department, tin store looks new, and j shows the expenditure of several thousand dollars in improvements in a most impressive way. By removing the wall that formerly divided the main store into two parts the firm lias provided a floor space of 260 feet by 60.

Tlie new cart* t department, where a new stock of carpets, rugs and portieres are to be seen,is completed, and the large number of visitors who have been to the store since its renovation have been struck with the completeness of every detail that goes to make up the modern dry goods store. An exjK'it dresser is in charge of the big show windows of the store, j and from time to time will make j displays of the latest styles, with' the idea of making the windows an i i anthoiity in what is proper and i pleasing to the fair patrons who are j customers of the store or who will j be. Tiie linn is well known all over j the State and will be better able! now than ever to serve their large pa'ronage. ?Charleston Cost. EARLY ELECTRIC ROADS. I Line In Baltimore Perhaps Our First Regularly Operated One. Daft began work on the llanip- j den branch of the Baltimore Union i Passenger Bailwav company in Au-1 gust, 1885, at lirst with two and a year later with two more d.ninnies, ? ' ?? 1 1-- -i. * V I wmcn i>unen regular street cars, n. i central and the running rails were i used for the normal operation, but | at crossings an overhead conductor i was installed, and connection was made with it by a transversely hinged arm carried on the car and pressed upward against it by a spring. The driving was by a pinion operating on an internal gear on one of j the axles. This was, 1 think, the first regularly operated electric road in this country, and the conditions under j which the contract was taken, in- j eluding waiting a year for payment I conditioned 011 satisfactory operation?and finally, even on these onerous terms, secured only in the face of an opinion by a well known scientist that no one but "a knave or a ! fool" wo..Id undertake it?were any tliin but encouraging. Fortunately for Fait, however, T. Robbins, the general manager of the railroad company, was strong in the faith. This equipment was followed by a more ambitious one?that of a section of the Ninth Avenue Elevated railroau for a distance of two* milns where n series of exDerimeiits i ""4W? ~ ~ I I was carried on during tlie latter part of the year I?!9" with a locomotive called the Benjamin Franklin. The, motor was mounted on a platform j pivoted at one end, and motion was i communicated from the armature to ; the driving wheel through grooved friction gears held in close contact partly by the weight of the machine j and partly by an adjustable screw j device. This locomotive, pulling a train of ear . made several trips. I n't ti. ? xpeiimcnts were soon sus- j ]>ended, and they were not re-! sumed until three years later, when during several weeks a rebuilt and improved Benjamin Franklin was j frequently run between the steam trains on the section between Four-1 [ teenth and Fiftieth streets, attaining ' 1 at times a speed of twenty-five miles an/htmr, and 011 one occasion pulling an eight car train up the maximum grade of nearly 2 per cent at a seven tpile rate.?Century. * * ) . THE WIFE HE WANTED. Queer Matrimonial Advertisement That i Appeared In 1737. Here is a curious matrimonial ad-' veriisenient, published in an Ameri-1 can newspaper in ITdT. Whether, the gentleman of "easy temper," whose only mode of restraint was j "stinting" ? which every woman! knows is of all schemes the most diabolical?found a lady possessed of all the enumerated perfections who was willing to hide them cannot at this late date be ascertained: "A middle aged gentleman barely turned sixty and as yet unmarried is i desirous of altering his condition, j lie lias a goou estate, sounu cuiimi-j tution and easy temper, and having I worn out the follies of youth will he determined l>v reason in the choice of the lady he intends to make happy. She must l>e upward of fifteen and under twenty-five. Her size mustcbe moderate, her shape natural, her person clean and her countenance'pleasing. She must be lively in her humor, but not smart in her conversation; sensible, but utterly unaffected with wit; her temper without extremes, neither too hasty and never sullen. Then she must invariably observe all forms of breeding in public places and mixed company, but may lay them all aside among her acquaintances. She must have no affectation but that of hiding her perfection, which her own ex will forgive and the other more quickly discover. She shall be restrained in nothing, the gentleman having observed that restraint only makes good women bad and bad women worse. In some things perhaps she may be stinted, which is the only method he will take to signify his dislike to any part of her conduct. Any lady whose friends are of opinion (her own opinion will not doj that she is qualified as above and has a nrind to dispose of herself may hear of a purchaser byleaving with the printer hereof a letter directed to 0. D." Napoleon's Attempt at Suicide. mi ?- * ?n rvn. 1 lie IllUS l Maiuiuj; ui ail vwii stanfs revelations kj that describing Napoleon's attempt at suicide when Marmont, Berthier and the rest left him naked to his enemies. Constant in one of his earlier volumes described a talisman wrapped in silk and leather which ever since the Egyptian campaign Napoleon wore around his neck. It contained, according to Constant, the poison which the emperor took immediately after his signature of the deed of abdieation. He then sent for Constant and thus addressed him: "Constant, I am dying! I could not bear the torture any more and the humiliation of seeing myself surrounded bv foreign agents. They have trailed my eagles through the mire. Marmont lias given me my final blow. That Berthier should have forsaken me cuts me to the core! My old friends! My old comrades in arms!" However, either the weakness of the poison or the skill of Yvan, the doctor, saved his life.? T. P.'s Weekly. London. Casting by Moonlight For Bass. I suppo-e the average bait caster knows ver> little of casting by moon-; light, but to 111 v mind this is a most pleasurable way of fishing. The \-ar\- uoirillKijs Ami llTICfrtflitttV COn stitule its chief charm, for the more uncertain a tiling the greater the satisfaction when it is accomplished. Confirmed fly casters often ridicule the bait caster with the stubby rod, but I have used both, and it takes fully as much skill and practice to manage the short rod as the long, whippy one, and bait casting offers a much larger field and larger variety of fishing than fly casting. A surface bait should always be used, as a bass strikes at the commotion made by the bait, not because he is hungry, but merely because he wants to fight.?Recreation. Cornishmen and Tails. Natives of Devonshire, England, j in past centuries used to say that Cornishmen all had tails, asserting j that it was a sign of the divine dis- j approval of their infamy in cutting oil t4ie tail of Thomas a Becket's j horse. A sixteenth century writer j says: "So hath England in all other ! lands a perpetual infamy of taylcs | by theye wrytten legendes of lyes,! yet can they not well tell where to bestowe them truly. An Englishman now cannot travavle in another land by way of marchandyse or any other honest oecupyinge, but it is most contumeliouslv thrown in his tctlie that all Englishmen have tayles." Juvenile Logic. A lift 1?? hoy of fni.r years of age on not icing for the lir>t time a lock of gray hair on his father's head asked. "Papa, why are some of your hairs gray?" Thinking to drive home a moral lesson, the father answered, "Papa has a new gray hair every time his l?itle hoy is naughty." The child seemed lost in thought, but after a pause said bravely, "Then grandpa must have had awfully naughty boys." j . ; BK V0ASTJIJ# l^r-? mmw/r r I/?Rpu< ?<_DetXV ei mi i nwK i n FloridaA passenge service t and comfort,equipped wi Dining, Sleeping and Th For rates, schedule, tr tion, write to WM. J. C (jenera ELECTRIC HEATING. ! The art of electrical heating is e well developed, though the use of thc.-e appliances for heating rooms j $ and cooking is not as great as could ^ l>e desired. The fault here lies not ? in the heaters themselves, hut in the fact that in generating electricQ energy front eoal great losses take plaee. The method is roundabout, and the only system available today ? is unfortunately inefficient. First j wo burn the eoal and ransfer as nnicli as po.-sihle of the beat uevel- ( otH'd by this process to water. The 4 steam thus generated is then passed j li> some i\ oc of engine.
