"Cornet," | might give YOU several in
stances OF more wars previous TO this but
time forbids, consequently I'll simply
pass them by, for claim that no pen can
half explain the misery that war has
caused. But to return to my subject, L
wish to call your attention to the Decline
OF the Jewish Nation" In the year TOO b.
G. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, king OF Babylon, took
Jerusalem. the horrors OF this war were
terrible. He destroyed the Jewish tenn
pie and carried the principal people cap
tive to Babylon, and when Zedekiah
became king Jerusalem was again besieged
and taken by Nebuzaradan. He broke
down the walls OF the city and left noth-
ing standing that could be destroyed. The
Jews remained captive in Baby on for
seventy years. In the course OF the next
two centuries the Egyptians invaded the
Jewish kingdom, and afterward the
Syrians reduced the inhabitants to bond
age. They suffered great calamities from
the tyranny Of these couquerors- But in
the year l66, before the Christian era,
Judas Maccabaens, a valiant JEWS leader,
drove the Syrians out of the country. In
the wear 81 b. c.. the Roman senate de-
creed that Herod should be king OF the
Jews. 1t was this Herod that commanded
that all the young children of Bethlehem
should be slain in order that the infant
Jesus might not survive. The period of
that blessed infants birth was at hand.

the wars through a period of 1,775 years

the Christian era. I'll not proceed
farther with this discussion at present,
and now | will retreat to my seat and let
"Cornet" and Rogers" or any one else,

of the Period.
To THE CLUB-"War and Intemperance"

Intemperance Causes More Misery than
Famine, War and Pestilence Combined"
To do justice 10 this subject one should
have more experience than / have. L
have never known the miseries produced
by war, only through history. Neil her

through severe famine, nor at time has
my lot been cast in pestilence. Therefore
/ may not be able to assert that whisky
causes more misery than war, famine and
pestilence combined. But j will say that
intemperance produces more real suffer
ing than anything that has ever come un-
der my casual observation. can speak
for myself that | would rather be amid the
dangers of, and suffer death in woe, l
would rather pass through the severest
famine. and would rather be surrounded
bv innumerable plaques than to fall the
victim to whisky and fill a drunkard's
grave.
One thing that prompts me to take this
stand on the side of right is that / believe
that we. by virtue OF our respective posi-
tons, are held accountable for certain
work which NAV be allotted to us to do.
always have, since have been able to
do so, advocated temperance in the strict
est manner, and as long as God grants me

continue to do so. Not only as safeguard
TO my own personal welfare, but also TO
WELD an influence for good over those
with whom am associated in life. The
Jneans by which,, and through which
whisky reaps its richest harves from the
ranks OF humanity are so numerous that
the most gifted pen and the words of
the English vocabulary are inadequate
to portray them. 1t follows up through
the isles of time and plucks one here and
there from every rank of life. The
preacher, the teacher, the lawyer, the me-
chanc and the farmer, all are alike SUBJ
iect to it's deadly influences.
The nature of whisky is so selfish and
unjust. 1t deprives us of our freedom and
liberty. 1t places us behind the dismal

Young men addicted to taking a ''glass
now and then" will doubtless laugh If you
call their habit vice, or hint that it is in
any way dangerous; and should you ask
them to give up their social glass for your
sake they would wonder "What you take
them forP Haven't they control enough
over themselves TO take & ass nov and
stop then? Why, you talk as though they
were common drunkards, and so they
are liable TO become.
The first glass makes room for the sec
ond; the man who drinks a glass of
brandy or whisky today will want an
other tomorrow. If he is not strong
enough to abstain from the first glass
how is he 10 put away the second? A
young man who loves ''the glass" better
than the love of some fair, pure young
lady is not worthy OF her love. II there

II. L. G. FRIENDs-I will take this seat
over here in the corner by Little Qua
kerr
Just few words of greeting, IL. O."
am very much pleased to learn that you
are an alliance man. am also an alliance
man, but not of very long standing, hav-
ing only joined that grand order about
three months ago. 1 take an active
interest in our order and am doing
all 1 can to bring others to think
as We do. 1t is undoubtedly
a grand thing for farmers, and they are
rapidly awakening to the fact that as
long as they depend upon lawyers, bank
ers and manufacturers to legisate for
them, Just that long will they be tramped
under foot, and crushed out of existence
as a class of intelligent people.
Why does not farming pay at PRESENT.
1t is we'll known fact that il we enrich
one class OF people the other class will be
impoverished. II the banking business is
enriching the banker, is not the borrow
ing class being impoverished? Ii the
manufacturers are getting rich, are not
the people who furnish material TO the
manufacturer, and the people who buy
the manufactured article being impover-
ished? Certainly. There can be no other
alternative.
Your letter is excellent, al. O." and
should be read carefully by those who are
interested in the alliance cause. Thought
you were converted on the single tax theo-
ry, but you Say that it would not be prac-
ticable. There could be scarcely any sys-
tenn OF taxation so unjust as the present
system. although think the last legisla-
ture of this state done great deal toward
the lettering of the present system. A
graded income tax would undoubtedly be
better than our present tax law, but that
would not be perfect in any way, vet il
would be step in the right direction. /
believe that if ali wealth is produced from
land that all taxes should be paid from
land values. Come again, Little Quaker"
YOUR ideas are original.
"Tycho," your letter is excellent and in
the true spirit of farmers reform organi-
cation. Come again soon. "Aranmore,"
you have the advantage on your side in
that wheat cheat business, so, of course,
you will keep it. / find that interesting
letters mey be written on interesting sub
jects. | think you have MARK" down,
so you should take advantage OF the old
saying that when you have a man down,
hold him."
Janet" think as you do in regard to
novelists disappearing country girls. l
also believe that they misrepresent coun-
try boys worse than the girls. Country
people generally use very common Ian
guaee, but it is not as bad as some would
make it appear; while they make it APP
pear that city people use great deal bet
ter language than they really do use. To
make us appear as we really are it would
take such writers as Dickens, Read, etc.
but such writer's are very scarce. Your
letter is good; come again.
What has become of "City Chap" aud
great many of the other old writers? We
would like to see you all again soon.

DIR. GRAVES QUEER STORY
3FTHE POISONING OF MRS. sARNAeY
He Says Her Habits Were Such That She
Was Frequently Blackmailed For
Large Amounts-The Doctors
Conduct OF Late.

BosToy, April 2S.-The Globe inter-
viewed DR.. Graves in Providence this
morning concerning the recent suspicious
death OF Mrs. j. B. BarnabY in Denver.
In the interview the doctor is made to
say that he is satisfied it was a preme-
dated murder, but that he knew
nothing about the crime himself;
certainly he did not commit il
as has been implied in the newspapers.
He had every reason to wish Mrs. Barnaby
to live since she paid him a very liberal
salary. He left Providence for Denver,
knowing Mrs. BIrnaby was dead, cousid-
ering it his duty as her agent, but did not
notify any OF her relatives or friends in
Providence. He went to Chicago, then
down to Sterling. ILL.,, TO visit an
uncle he had not seen for thirty
years, spent four hours with him
and then went TO Cedar Rapids. Ia,
TO see another relative. In consequences,
he lost the fast train west and did not
reach Denver till Friday. He did not
consider his visiting extraordinary at the
time, but admitted that now it looks bad
for him. The doctor learned very little
in Denver of what took place at the in
quest, being so overcome that he asked
very few questions. Considerable informa-
ton was volunteered, but he had forgotten
it. He never imagined the magnitude of
hls connection with the case until he read
the local papers this morning Yesterday
he had promised Mrs. Conrad and Col.
ci,f hot h. 4
no use of certain information he had, but
this was now impossible; ne was forced to
speak in order to protect himself
He then went on TO say that Mrs. Barn
aby's will he had deposited with her
other papers and he knew not whether he
had been left ! cent or 100000 bv IT.
Mrs. Barnaby to him that he had been
remem bered, but he asked no questions
and never looked at the will. This will,
together with many of Mrs. Barnabv's
valuable papers, and every dollar of her
money would be turned over in ten min
utes, as soon as an administrator is ap-
pointed.
Asked as to his theory of the murder
the doctor said he believed the motive to
be blackmail. He had reasons to believe
Mrs. Barnabv had been repeatedly black
mailed bv people who first compromised
her and then forced money from her by
threats oil exposure, ii she refused
finally to pay these amounts. II may
have been a case of desperate retaliation.
Said he IL must admit 1t looks fearfully
as if the murderer knew her HABITS init
mately." He also stated that he did not
personally know any man who ever
biackmaied Mrs. Barnaby out of dollar,
but it was his impression that she was
| obliged to paw money to secure silence.
She appeared afraid Of something all the
| time.
Regarding certain charges of unpro-
fessional conduct on the part OF DIR.
Graves in years past, as published in
local papers, the doctor characterized
them as being full of inaccuracies and
| libels, and declared that he should sue
for libel if the opportunity offered.

Another NIraterY.

BosToN, April 2s.-Mrs. Graves. the wife
Of DR.. T. Thatcher Graves of Provi.
dence, prominent in connection with
the Barnaby case, was in Boston
last night at the house OF the
brother and returned to Providence this
morning. A tele gram was sent from
Chicago to Mrs. Graves, purporting to
come from her husband and asking her TO
join him in Worcester. The result of this
was to make DIR. Graves find his wife abb
sent on his return last night TO his home
in Providence. This is another mystery.
The projected conference at the Barnaby
residence to-day at which DR.. Graves was
to assist, fell through by reason of some
misunderstanding. DIR. Graves was seen
at IL o'clock and after vainly seeking en-
trance at the front door. he went TO the
side entrance and passed into the hallway.
A short time after he was seen down
town and reported that he was unable To
gain entrance. At the residence it was
denied that DIR. Graves had called there.
Whatever conference was held was con-
fined to immediate members of the fam
lily, and they have declined TO make any
statement. The arrangements for the
funeral will be kept secret.
