A UNIQUE MEMORIAL

A unique memorial has recently been
placed in a church in this vicinity, unique
in that it is the contribution of newspaper
men who SO often are called upon to write
of the memorial gifts of others. There is
a little church in Brooklyn presided over
by the former assistant pastor of Ply
mouth church, the Rev. S. B. Halliday,
and he has made it Beecher Memorial
church. Many gifts have been made to it
by friends and admirers of the great
Brooklyn preacher, and when some news
paper men decided to place in it a memo
rial of the man whose works they had so
often reported in sermon, interview and
lecture, they fixed upon a pulpit as best
expressing the ideas they intended to con-
vey. 1t has been set up, bearing the in
scription, "This pulpit is tribute to the
memory of Henry Ward Beecher from
newspaper men of New York and Brook
lyn, A. D. 1891" Nearly twoscore writers
for the daily press, most of whom have
sat at the feet of Mr.. Beecher, literally, in
Plymouth church, and heard his inspiring
words and tried to put them upon paper,
have contributed to the cost. One Of
them says: sit was a liberal education to
listen to Mr.. Beecher for any extended pc
riod, and have always been glad that l
had that privilege. He gave one such
broad views of life and opened up vistas
to the mind in so many directions that
there was always great pleasure and profit
in hearing him. He had the power of in
sight that enabled him to make his hearers
see what they had never dreamed of the
possibility of seeing or grasping. 1 never
heard him without feeling" Two news
paper men were found who gave so much
to other churches that they did not desire
to contribute to this memorial.

face. The discovery was made from indi-
cations furnished to the government by a
local savant, Daninos Pasha. The first
two represent in one group Rameses II.
and Queen Hentmara seated on the same
throne, an arrangement unknown before
among Egyptian statues. The third statue
represents Rameses standing upright in
military attire, scepter in his hand and a
crown upon his head. Both bear hero
glyphic inscriptions and both have been
thrown from the pedestals face downward.
Their site is on the ancient Cape Zephyr
ium, near the remains of the temple of
Venus at Arsinoe. Relics of the early
Christians have been found in the same
locality.
People who have vast fortunes in Eng
land and other countries awaiting them if
they can only get them are hereby re-
minded that it isn't easy to get them.
There was fortune left by certain Jean
Thiery, a Frenchman, in the Bank of
Venice, and amounting to about $2,000,-
900 This was deposited in 1876. With
interest it would be $125, 900, 900 now.
Certain heirs, who can clearly prove their
descent, have repeatedly made claims on
the French government, as successors of
the government of Venice. Napoleon l.
conquered Venice and deposed the duke.
By order of the republican government of
France, at that time, he captured the $2,-
100000 And there it disappeared. The
heirs have sued and petitioned. But now
the final decision has come that, first, there
is no clear proof that the Bank of Venice,
in 1897, was still in debt to the Thiery
estate, and, secondly, that even if it was,
the money became prize of war at the tax
ing of the city.

TIE ssFILEY "CURE.,

The death of John F. Miner from alco-
holisn has sharply revived the discussion
of the Kelley cure of drunkenness. Mr..
Miner was one of the most conspicuous
graduates of the "Keeley institute" and
his article in the North American Review
called great deal of attention to him and
the cure of which he professed to be a
striking example. His death from rum
will do much to discredit the cure, al
though it has never been claimed, we be-
lieve, by the Keeleyites that man cannot
again become a drunkard after he is
cured.
Thus far the evidence in favor of the
cure has received tremendous amount Of
frst-class advertising, which nobody be-
grudges him if he can do what he says he
can But it is evident that the cure is
being worked for all it is worth, and per-
haps more, as money maker. Branch
institutes are being established and bust
ness appears to be very lively. We have
received circular from one of the
branch institutes, a part of which is
drunkard, soddened and degraded by
twenty years of alcoholic debauch, and
sober him in twenty minutes, cut short
his worst spree in few days, take him
from inebriety to perfect sobriety without
nervous shock or distress, and leave him
cry sort or kind in three or four days; in
the meantime giving him all the liquor he
asks for, with the confident assurance that
he will drop it of his own volition. AL
though the cure is virtually made in a few
days, yet the patient is kept three weeks
for the purpose of eliminating from the
system that element having an affinity for
the poison of alcohol, which when done
leaves him for ever after without want or
desire for stimulants of any kind. All
bloat has disappeared, and instead
of the Defiant sw&gger Of the
drunken bully or the cowed shut
fie of the weaker victim of rum, are
seen the elastic steps of men in buoyant
health in whose eyes sparkles the light of
happiness reclaimed and faith in life re-
newrd. With the curse removed, with
brains and bodies cleansed for life of the
poison of alcohol, they go forth free men
qualified to battle for place and fortune
in the world. The desire for drink never
returns; they are cured in the fullest sense
of the term.
This is big language. We do not see
how a weak will is going to be perma-
nently strengthened by medicine, even if
the medicine has gold in it. And while it
is best not to be skeptical about the great
cure it is well to be skeptical enough. If
| all the cures which have been discovered
| had turned out to be what was claimed
| for them nobody would need to die.

DIVORCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

1t has lately been frequently asserted
that a great many unhappy people were
engaged in getting divorced in South Da-
kota, where only ninety days residence is
required before divorce suit will be en-
tertained by the courts. For instance, q
Chicago paper declares that during the last
two years at Sioux Falls over 800 divorces
have been disposed of and that 103 are
now pending. Rev. Samuel w. Dixie, who
has made very thorough study of the
divorce problem, took it into his head that
he would try to find out the facts. So he
sent requests Tor information to the Of
fcials of the courts in the five counties
which have their Judicial centre at Sioux
Falls, and was Informed that in the four
counties outside of Sioux Falls only
eighteen divorces were granted in the
twelve months ending with August
31st of the present year. From
Sioux Falls comes the information
that while She number of divorces
granted in that time is not known
by the correspondent, the records
show that forty seven divorce suits were
commenced in the last twelve months. He
had leisure to examine only thirty-four
to discover their origin, and finds that ten
were from South Dakota itself, seven from
New York city, five from Iowa, two each
from New York state, Canada, Massachu-
setts and Wisconsin, and one each from
England, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
New Hampshire. Thus it is seen that even
if all the forty seven divorces for which
application was made in the year ending
August 81 were granted, and this lis i'm
probable, the total number granted in that
time in the five counties centering at Sioux
Falls was but sixtyfve.
This is better than it might be, but it is
still bad enough. 1t makes it clear, how
ever, that there is not a general migration
to South Dakota for the purpose of getting
divorced.

SHALL MINISTER'S SMOKE!


The query ''Shall ministers smoke?" is
answered in the affirmative by the practice
of some New York divipes. They know
the quality of cigars as wellSas their pa
in the curling clouds of smoke from their
weeds that other men do. A popular
minister, who was found reading ''My
Lady Nicotine" the other day while he
slowly smoked, said: & see no reason
why a mini ster should not be indulged in
this luxury as well as business man, pro-
vided that he can afford it and it does not
upset his nervous system. Like most
men who have the habit of smoking, l am
free to admit that if 1 did not smoke l
should probably be better off, and yet the
habit is so easily acquired and so harmless
that 1 do not feel sorry that l have it. 1t
is certainly most agreeable way to quiet
the nerves when one is tired or unstrung
And 1 find it assists my mental processes
decidedly. OF course | condemn smoking
to excess like all other intemperance, and
like all genuine lovers of tobacco, 1 de-
spise the cigarette. / believe that baneful
influences lurk in it, especially in the use
of dangerous drugs to flavor it" On the
other hand q famous preacher of this city
says: "No habit is more to be con-
demned, save indulgence in strong drink,
than the use of tobacco in any form. Its
influence is deadly, and besides its physi-
cal effects it has tendency from constant
use to blunt the moral faculties. Can any
one imagine Christ smoking cigar with
out receiving shock that one does not ca
silly recover from. l can use no stronger

That smiled so fair and blue,

That in spite of all was true.
And so it has ever been. Polly,

The best had to give dear,
For it stole my soul from me.
And know that l could not rest, dear,
In my grave, if away from the sea;

No matter how deep be.

Some night, 'twixt the ebb and the flow,

And shall arise and go.
