MELvILLE'S PATHETIC STORY.
A Graphic Description of the Finding o
DeLong and Party.

DeLong and Party.
A Washington telegram says: In the jean
nette Court Engineer Melville continued
his account of the search for De Long and
party. TIE narrative was very pathetic, and
the speaker told the story in straighttor-
ward manner. He gave details of the dis
covery of the party frozen to death on the
banks of the Lena The attention OF
the searchers was first attracted by
hut poles sticking out of the snow.
upon seeing these, the psrty advanced a
few steps wfen tsey saw q hand reaching out
in the snow. which atterward proved to be
DeLon9's The rest of the y rty then discov-
cred the remains OF q fire ne ar them, and
evidenc that the unfortunate men had
been uying to remove their esfec5s. with
Ss4bposed view OF reaching the banks OF the
liver Melville said they evidently recog-
nized the fact that If they died near the pank
of the river their bodies would be carrie
away by the flood, Neville examined De-
Longs journal, found near where the body
lay
The bodies were all frozen to the ground,
but as soon as discovered were pried up,

Law ionnd when Ambler's body was
6afned over that he clutched Del ng's pis-

that D Long died be,Qge Amb er, AMI that
the latter had taken tfB, pistol to keep of
animals M lville gave directions to have
D. Longs body taken out OF the snow and
placed in hut near by. He also directed
that the remaining bodies be very carefully
preserved, and any article found on their

The JeWsbaID.

An Englishman has established a
manrfactory of iewsharps in Troy. Tt
is said that there are only two others in
the country, one in New York and the
other in Boston. A simpler instrument
than the iewsharp it would be hard to
conceive, but the process Of manu-,
facture comprises no fewer than thirty
separate operations. The inventor of
that humble instrument, which has
been vibrating all over the world for
centuries, is unknown to fame. At the
beginning of the present century the
jewsharp was developed by combining
several different instruments, each with
separate pitch, and in 1897 Eulen-
stein, native of Wurtemberg, made a
sensation in London by playing on six
teen at once.

Pubic Printer is obliged 10 advertise for
bids and let the contract to outs de parties
for doing the WORK. The result Is very often
that, owing to an understanding among the

SAMARITAN NERvINE

Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the habit of Opium Eating. These degrading habits are by far the worst evils that have ever befallen suffering humanity. Thou sands die annually from these noxious drugs. The drunkard drinks liouor not because he likes it, but for the pleasure of drinking and treating hls friends, little thinking that he Is on the road to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he first uses the drug in small quantities as harmless an- tidote. The soothing influences of the drug takes stIonR hold upon its victim, leading him on to his own destruction. The habits of Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking are precisely what eating is to alimentiyeuess. as over-eating infames the stomach. which rcdoubles its craving until it paralyzes both the stomach and appetite. So every drink of liquor or dose of opium, instead Of satisfying, only adds to It's fierce fires, until it consumes the vi. tai force and then itself. Like the glut. tonous tape.worm. it cries 'Give. give, givei" but never enough until it's own rd. pacity devours itself Samaritan NerYinr gives instant relief in all such cases. It produces sleep, quiets the nerves, builds up the nervous systeu, and restores body and mind to 6 healthy condition.
