Mr.. HALLS BUSINESS TROUBLES.
His Contracts Are Being Carried Out and
WOrkmen Will Receive Their Pay.

Samuel s. Hall, the contracting builder.
it seems. could not realize on his assets just
ut the time when money was most needed.
Those who know him, and from whom he
has held contracts, give him credit of being
q good architect, fine carpenter, and al
together very energetic man. Trouble,
his friends say, affects him keenly, and
during the past few weeks his embarrass-
ments have sorely oppressed him. 1t was
doubted by his friends if his mind could
have stood the strain of worry had he not
been prevailed upon to 60 to the country
for few weeks rest. His leaving the city
was not that of an absconder. and was pure
ly for rest, while his brother-in-law, Milton
A. Gregg, with power of attorney,
got the business in good order
again. Mr.. Hall was very successful in Sc
curing contracts. and as he was regarded as
a newcomer. in the city, business opposi-
ton to him became quite active. 1t is as
serted that from this source many rumors
arose to prevent him from securing work.
Yesterday Dir. Gregg paid Off number of
the workmen, and others. to whom money
which Mr.. Hall was building that they
would stand good for the amounts yet to be
paid. The work. therefore, Mr. Gregg said,
will be continued. Mr. Halls absence
from the city," MIR. Gregg further said. lis
not caused by his business troubles. 1t is
on account of i'll health. AS soon as he re-
covers he will return. but in the meantime
the business will be carried on
by me. Mr.. Halls assets exceed to
considerable extent his liabilities, which
will amount at the utmost 10 about S.. 900.
Laborers and mechanics who, it was
charged, did not receive their wages, owing
to Mr.. Halls inability to make collections.
have had their demands satisfied, and
work on the houses under contract is pro-
crossing as usual. Mr.. Hall did not col
lect any sum of money, and leave the city
without accounting for it. What money he
did receive. was al once paid ont for mate

prayer and praise-meeting, led by Rev. G.
Tinsley, of Shelbyville. Both were well
attended, and an earnestness was shown
that promises the best results. AT 10oclock
Rev. Joseph III. Smith preached his last
sermon at the camp to large and at
tentive congregation, and DR.. Watson
preached a very acceptable sermon in the
evening. Among the notable accessions to

ADULTERATION OF VINEGAR.
How the State Board of Health Expects to Hold
Dealers to an Observance of the Law.

The rooms of the State Board of Health
still present the appearance of an analyti-
cal chemists laboratory, while Secretary
Metcalf is engaged In testing samples of
vinegar procured from the local dealers
throughout the State, with view of en-
forcing tho legislation of last winter
against the adulteration of that much
used commodity. The law is plain enough,
providing heavy fines against people who
sell. offer. or expose for sale. as cider vine
gar. anything not the legitimate product of
pure apple Juice. and imposing like penal
ties Oh people who manufacture sell. or
expose for sale vinegar containing lngre-
dients injurious to health. Other details
are provided for in the way of regulating
the acidity. coloring. branding, etc, and
the law, If carried out would undoubtedly
,nnre to ..w the benefit of the public
to enforce it," said DR.. Metcalf to
a Journal reporter yesterday, land
| will tell you how we propose to 20 about
IL. A good deal OF vinegar is sold by retail
dealers which IS adulterated with sulphuric
acid and other deleterious ingredients, re-
sulting in product that Will ruin the
teeth and stomach of any one who uses it
continuously. Retail dealers have no
means of detecting these adulterations, but
they know they are liable 10 punishment if
they handle adulterated vinegar. and that
they can have test made at this Office,
without charge. of any vinegar they have
reason to suspect. The result will be that
hereafter retail dealers will demand n guar
antee Of .vinegars purchased from jobbers
or manufacturers, and if the tests made by
us show that the purchasers have been
swindled they will have recourse on the
parties from whom they purchased. This
much as TO honest dealers. AS to parties
who knowingly deal In adulterated vine
gar for the sake of the additional profit
gained. we shall have 10 RELY on our own
ingenuity TO get hold of them. We have
arrangements for purchasing from sus-
pected parties. and if the vinegar pur-
chased Is such as is forbidden by law we
expect TO enforce the penalties provided.

The Vital Functions.

It is well understood that the vital
functions are more or less processes of
combustion, and are subject to laws
similar to those which regulate the
burning of coal in our freplaces. We
are apt to put on too much coal. or al
low the fire to be smothered in ashes.
The child pokes the fire from the top
to make it burn faster; but the wise
man pokes it from below to rake out
the ashes and allow free access OF OK
ygen. And so it is with the functions
of life, only that these being less I'M
derstood. many a man acts in regard to
them as q child does to the fire. The
man thinks that his brain is not acting
because he has not supplied it with
sufficient food. He takes meat three
times day and beef tea to supply it's
wants. as he thinks. and puts in polk
er to stir it up in the shape of a glass
of sherry or a nip from the brandy bot
tie. And yet. all the time, his brain is
suffering from accumulation of ash.
and the more he continues to cram
himself with food. and to supply him
self with stimulants. the worse he
ultimately becomes, just as the child's
breaking the coal may cause tempo
rary blaze, but allows the fire to be
sfnothered in ashes--Halrs Journal OF

THE OLDEST OBEUiSK.

An Egyptian Monument Erected Nearly
Three Thousand Years Before Christ.
The oldest of all the obelisks is the
beautiful one of rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields on
the banks of the Nile, not far from
Cairo. 1t is the gravestone of a great
ancient city which has vanished and
left only this relic behind. That city
was the Bethshemesh of Scripture. the
famous On, which is memorable to all
Bible readers as the residence of the
priest of Potipherah. whose daughter.
Asenath Joseph married. The Greeks
called it Heliopolis, the city of the
sun, because there the worship of the
sun had its chief center and its most
sacred shrines. It was the seat of the
most ancient university in the world,
to which youthful students came from
all parts of the world to learn the oc-
cult wisdom which the priests of On
alone could teach. Thales, Solon,
EudOxus, Pythagorus and Plato all
studied there, perhaps Moses, too. 1t
was also the birthplace of the sacred
literature of Egypt, where were writ
ten on papyrus leaves the original
chapters of the oldest book in the
world, generally known as the Book
of the Dead" giving a most striking
account of the conflicts and triumphs Of
the life after death; a whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian.
rich or poor, wished to have buried
with him in his coffin, and portions of
which are found inscribed on every
mummy case and on the walls ofevery
tomb. In front of one of the principal
temples of the sun. in this magnificent
city, stood, along with companion.
long since destroyed. the solitary
obelisk which we now behold on the
spot 1t alone. as have said, has sur
vived the wreck of all the glory of the
place, as If to assure US that what is
given to God, however ignorantly and
superstitiously. endures. while all the
other works of man perish 1t was
constructed by Usirtesen l., who Is,
supposed to have reigned two thousand
eight hundred years before Christ, and
has outlasted all the dynastic changes
of the land, and still stands where If
originally stood nearly forty-seven
centuries ago. What appears of fts
shaft above ground is sixty-eieht feet
in height. but its base is buried in the
mud Of the Nile; and year after year the
foundation Of the river deposits its
film Of soil around its foot. and buries
1t still deeper in its sacred grave
