traveller Of note, either American born on

adohes, or largo unburned bricks. Al
though mutilated and overgrown with
trees, the massive base and four stories Of
the gigantic structure are yet almost en-

such magnitude and vastness as, next to
the pyramids Of Egypt, has never before
been seen in the world. It's height Is lZ3

being 275 feet lower than the great pyra-
mid of Cheops, and 6Z7 feet longer.

layers Of stone and mortar, and the four
stories are connected with each other by

Here is the reminisceuce Of gray haired
old man, a graduate OF Harvard, and a
man who has some reputation in the world
of letters:
ION the night of my initiation into a
society-I cannot name it in this connec-
ton, for chat would be a breach OF loyalty
i went to the mystic hall with heavy
heart and shaky legs. This particular band
Of brothers had special reputation for
ferocity, and | knew we'll enough that it
was more than idle talk too, but was
pledged, and forward was the word final
ly found myself mounting pair of stairs in
utter darkness. This was something Of a
feat, for at intervals board would turn
up under my feet, and one leg would de-
scend into some unknown abyss, to the
great disadvantage of my best trousers and
shins.
AT the very top l carefully pushed open
door and sprang into a sort of water
trap, from which about three gallons of
the fluid, descending in a big baptism
soaked me completely. Having passed
the water ordeal, l entered, and was vio-
lently seized by several shndowy forms,
who appeared as sort of luminous, grin
ming skulls which effect is produced by pull
ing shirt sleeve over the face and rubbing
it with phosphorus. Just try a shirt sleeve
mask and see if it isn't horrible sight,
even in daytime. Well, was soon rid OF
my clothing and stretched out on plank,
on which were placed varions kinds of
burrs and thistles-anything but downy

The terrible voice whispered, Brand him

flashed down my spinal column, accom-
panied by the sound and actual smell OF

BEAUTIFUL EXAMP1E.
In the latter part of the last century a
girl in England became kitchen maid in a
farm house. She had many styles of work.
and much hard work. Time rolled on, and
she married the son of a weaver of Hall
fax. They were Industrious; they saved
money enough after while to build them
a home. On the morning of the day when
they were to enter that home the young
wife arose at o'clock, entered the front
door yard, knelt down, consecrated the
place to God, and there made this solemn
VOW: 40 Lord, if thou wilt bless me in
this place, the poor shall have share of
it." Time rolled on and a fortune rolled
in. Children grew up around them, and
they all became afIluent; one, a member of
parliament, in public place declared that
his success came from that prayer of his
hoOuSt III lhe uoor yafu. all or them
were affluent. Four thousand hands in
their factories. They built dwelling houses
for laborers at cheap rents, and when they
were invalid and could not pay they had
the houses for nothing.
One of these sons came to this country,
admired our parks, went back, bought
land, opened u great public park, and made
it present to the city of Halifax, Eng
land. They endowed On orphanage, they
endowed two almshouses. All England
has heard of the generosity and the good
works of the Crossleys. Moral-Conse-
crate to God your small means and your
humble surroundings, and you will have

Goodness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now is and
of that which is to come" "Have faith in
God by all means, but remember that faith

ON THE ATLANTIC COAST.
WINTER LINGERS IN THE LAP OF
SPRING.
anG Throughout New England-Dam-
age by the Tide in Boston Harbor.

New YORK, April 3.-The heavy storm
which swept over this section last night,
did considerable damage, particularly to
the east OF New York. The storm was
accompanied in many places by heavy
wet snow and this, aided by high winds,
demoralized the telegraph wires to
a great extent. A dispatch from Pough-
keepsie says: A heavy snow storm
ragged in the Hudson river valley all
night; about foot of snow fell, but only
six inches laid for any length OF time.
Telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires are crossed and down in every di-
rection. 1t will take week or ten days
to get the wires in good working order
again. The weather is clearing and the
snow is rapidly disappearing.
THE STORM IN NEW ENGLAND.
Boston, Mass, April 3.-The storm
throughout New England has been very
severe. A stiff northeast gale was blow
ing all night, with heavy rain in the
coast region and snow in the interior.
Fourteen inches of snow fell throughout
Western New England. All trains are
late. The wind reached velocity OF
sixty miles per hour. In the harbor the
tide is the highest for six months. Con-
siderable damage has been done to ship
ping. Many vessels dragged their an
chors and drifted on the flats. A few
schooners were dismasted others were
badly damaged by being driven against
the wharves. Telegraph and telephone
wires are down in every direction. Re-
ports from Chatham state more damage
was done inland than by any other gale
within the memory of man. The bar
ometeris lower than ever before, and
the tide is running very high, the water
completely covering the beaches.

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, April .3.-The news re-
ceived at the war department OF the re-
suit of the efforts being made by western
army officers to carry out the provisions
of the army appropriation bill author
izing the enlistment Of 1000 Indian re-
cruits, is very discouraging. The officers
report that the Indians will not enlist
in the infantry under any circumstances,
as they abhor walking. They will not
enlist in the cavalry, except as scouts,
because they do not care to bind them
selves to five years. service, nor to be
subject to removal to distant parts
OF the country. Then, too, they want
their women with them, and the great
majority of bucks are physically unfit
for military service. 1t is doubted
whether single Indian company can
be recruited in the west, but the out
look in the south is more hopeful. At
Mt. Vernon barracks, Ala., where the
Apache Indians who led the Geronimo
campaign, are, it is said all the Indians,
some thirty-five or forty, are about to
enlist. These Indians are said to be
progressing rapidly in the paths of civil
lization, and the almost incredible fact
is reported that the renowned warrior,
Geronimo, who was for years the terror
of the west, is now prominent teacher
in local Sunday school.

HALLS MONEY IS UP.
But Fitzsimmons Does Not Come to the
Scratch.


SAN Francisco, April 3.-Joe Harris,
backer of Jim Hall, this afternoon re-
ceived telegram from J. Grant, presi-
dent of the Astoria Athletic club,
saving that the club had offered to de-
posit $l7 900 in any bank in Astoria, as
a purse for Hall and Fitzsimmons. The
club, however. requires a deposit of
$1,000 by each man to bind his appear
ance in the ring. Grant states that he
has not yet received any answer from
-Titzsi mmons in regard to the subject.
Hall has alleady deposited $4,000, and
Harris states if Fitzsimmons will agree
to fight, he himself will make deposit
of $1,000 for him. Hall and Harris leave
tomorrow for Chicago, hoping to meet
Fitzsimmons there in about ten days,
and arrange match if possible.
FrTzsIMMoNs' DEPOSIT.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Harry Ballard,
city editor of the Inter Ocean, said to-
day in regard to the Fitzsimmons-Hall
matter, that three weeks ago Clark, on
behalf Of Fitzsimmons, deposited $25O0
to bind match with Hall that he had
received dispatches from Jim Ryan,
whom he did not know, and
John Grant, the president of the
Astoria, Oregon, club. Grant wanted
the $250O sent on to Astoria, but to this
Clark demurred. If the Hall party
mean business. they should send some
one here to cover the money now up for
Fitzsimmons. With representative OF
Hall here, articles Of agreement could
be drawn, final deposits arranged and
final stakeholder agreed upon.
Mr.. Ballard said in conclusion, that
the San Francisco Evening Post, OF
March 3Oth, says that Joe Harris would
on that day forward $2500 here to cover
Fitzsimmons' deposit, but he had heard
nothing of its arrival as yet.

Deluge in Ohio.

LIMA, Ohio, April 3.-Heavy rains the

dangerous height in St. Mary's reser-
