actual life in the bodies is suspended. But
certain disintegration and death in it's most
active form is produced by the corrosion Of
alcohol in living bodies. and in this way 1t
proves itself to be an acrid, deadly poison to
human life.
More than 1000 years ago the results Of
alcohol on the body were compared to the
bite Of serpent and the stinging Of an
adder; and alcohol has not changed its
nature since. At the present time alcoholic
beverages are certainly the most injurious,
deceptive and dangerous elements or death
and destruction that exist, and the annals OF
criminal courts prove that it Is an aggra.
waited public nuisance generally.
Yet these beverages are SO fascinating.
and the poison in them 80 insidious, that the
whole human race has been deluied and
cheated for thousands of year, and moro
injury has resulted from their uSa than has
been occasioned by all the woes OF war,
famine and pestilence combined; and now
that science, experience and an enlightened
reason have so largely disSi pated such de-
lusiye cobwebs Of appetite preju5ice and
passion, these poisonous alcoholic beverages
should be banishel from society with oil the
intelligent energy that an injured and out
ragged people can demand.

TENTS FOR VETERANS.

The Executive Committee of the National
Encampment Secure Shelter for the En-
campment.
The War Department has granted loan OF
900 tents to the Executive Committee in charge
Of arrangements for the coming National En-
eampment at Indianapolis, for use during that
tine. These tents are TO be used for Regi-
mental Headquarters, and for other similar
purposes. Other tents of larger size will be
provided for Corps and Brigade Headquarters.
These will be secured direct from the mann
facturers. The only exaction demanded by the
War Department for the tents loaned is a bond
for their safe return. The Corps Headquarters
will be located in the Courthouse Square in
the central part Of the city, and arrangements
will be made for holding Reunions in these
tents and in halls throughout the city. II is
the intention to make Reunions great feature
Of the Encampment, aud w. A. Ketchum.
Chairman Of the Committee on Reunions, is
BOW receiving scores Of applications for quarters
for such purposes, and is making the necessary
arrangements. The use of all the court
rooms, both Federal, County and City, have
been given for this purpose, as well as that of
most OF the churches and all of the public build
sngs. The generosity Of the officers. both
State, County and City, indicates that but little
business Of public nature will be transacted in

TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

Unwilling of "A Monument Erected by San
Francisco Relief Corps.
In 1885 Lincoln Relief Corps San Francisco.
began the beautiful custom of erecting memo
rial ITO the Unknown Dead " in their lovely
city OF the dead.
This was a floral monument, made and taken
to the cemetery and placed on piece of ground
near the GAR. monument. Properly lettered
and exquisitively wrought with fairest Cali
fornia flowers, it gave great satisfaction to the
Grand Army when they went out each year
to strew the graves of their beloved dead.
From this custom grew the permanent monu-
ment unvaiIed Memorial Day, erected by the
three San Francisco Corps, under the leader
ship of Past National President Elizabeth
Darcy Kline. The monument is Of farest Cali
fornia marble, selected by Col. and Mrs. Kline
at the Cotton quarries and donated for the
purpose.
The unwilling ceremonies were part of the
regular Grand Army services on Cemetery
Hill, overlooking the Preside and Golden
Gate, which were of an imposing character,
the United States Regulars and National
Guards uniting with the Grand Army in the
parade
After an eloquent address by Col. G. w. Ar
bukle, Gov. Mark ham, himself veteran and
member of John +. Godfrey Post, Pasadena,
presented the monument to the Grand Army on
behalf of Lincoln, Garfield, and Meade Relief
Corps, Department Commander Z. c. --
accepting for the GAR. 81
The monument was then unvailed. 1t is a
beautiful triangular obelisk, designed by Past
Depar tment Commander &. Mason Kline. 1t
bears the name of the three Corps on its base
with the letters f., c., l.. on the apex On
one face is the Woman's Relief Corps badge in
relief; on another, Erected by the Woman's
Relief Corps of San Francisco, May 80, 1892;
and on the third, "To the Unknown Dead
Who Fell in Defense of the Union, 1S6l-l665"
After dramatic recitation of the poem which
follows, by George Osborne, eminent as actor
and elocutionist, whose voice rang out in the
refrain, unknown, unknown" in a manner
that touched the heart of every listener, and
the singing of Lonely Graves Far Away i"
very beautifully by q male quartet, the Grand
Army strewed the graves of their dead with
flowers, while the First Cavalry Band played
a dirge.
