friend that he is drunk and he will
in all probability give You the lie
direct, and swear that he has not
taken drink in o week.
Try any and every way that you
may to get men to denounce alcohol
and then you will begin to fnd
what hold it has upon their affec.
tons. Men hug the delusion until
it bites them to death. When alco-
hol has dried out the natural secre-
tons Of their bodies, and their
joints begin to stitien, they fly too
it for relief. When their premature
ly dry bones begin to ache they call
it rheumatism, aud a bottle Of whis-
Ky with a collard stalk tied around
it's neck is good "bitters' for this
disease. When the little nerve
which passes from the orbit of the
eye up over the forehead has be-
come inflamed by the use Of whis-
Ky it produces severe pain, they
call that neuralgia and say drink
always cures it. When men have
drank until their minds are as mud
dy as the urged waters of the
Mississippi river the remedy is to
take another drink to clear away
the fog. l know the strong hold
which alcohol has upon the mind Of
men as a remedial agent. l know
the high estimate placed upon it BY
the masses, and by all classes. No
Grand Mogul ever Wanted himself
such king. The liveliest imagi
nation of Sancho Panza never drew
a picture for himself of such exalt.

King is a fraud aud the returning
board which counts him in is venal.
What task then have I before me
to strip this gigantic fraud Of all
his gaudy colors and show him to
my neighbors in his truly hideous
nakedness. l know that the stern
cold facts will shock them like an
unexpected shower. bath, but like

SAMUEL HI. PARVIN.
His Sudden Death this Morning.

This morning Mr.. S. II. Parvin, head OF
the well-known advertising agency on Wal
nut street, near Fourth, left his home in
Cumminsvile to make the Glendale Ac-
commodation, which arrives here at 3
o'clock.
He was behind time and started to run at
lively rate for the morning train. He
managed to catch the rear car, but his son
did not make it. Mr.. Parvin, quite out of
breath, sat down by his friend, Mr.. c. d.
Spinning, of Fifth street near Elm, this city.
Mr.. Spinning told him he should not have
run 80 hard in trying to make the train.
He then offered him newspaper, when
he saw Mr.. Parvin throw up his head, gasp,
and then again, without uttering a word.
allow his head to drop. In short time
Mr.. Parvin was corpse. On arriving in
the city DR.. Cilley pronounced the cause of
his death to be paralysis of the heart super
induced by over exertion.
Mr.. Parvin was born at Bridgeton, New
Jersey, sixty-three years ago, and came to
Cincinnati about the year 1886, while he
was yet young man. He opened smail
banking and brokerage business at the cor
ner of Court and Main streets, opposite the
Courthouse, and was quite successful.
He subsequently invested in other
branches of trade, i'll which he met with
alternate successes and reverses, until he
finally drifted into the advertising business,
of which he may justly be called the pio-
neer in this city.
Some seven years ago Mrs. Parvin, the
partner of his life, died at their home in
Cumminsville, and early in The past spring
she was followed by Charles, one of the
older sons, who was associated with the
f,tI~ i,,h h,,ui nft L. l.
whom George, one of the firm of Paryin &
Sons, is the eldest, are still living.
| Mr.. Parvin was well known and highly
esteemed by the newspaper publishers oi
every part of the country. He was man
remarkable for perfect correctness in all
his dealings, and few men ever transacted
so large business with so many patrons
scattered at so great distance with such
perfect satisfaction to them all. In news
paper circles his name was synonym fos
honesty and fair dealing.

following particulars of the loss of

to save any of the others and is un-
able as yet to get off. Her upper
saloon was carried away and rapid
ly filled with water and sank. The
scenes of the wreck are described
as being horrible in the extreme.
The nine men taken to Crisfeld
