NEW EXCISE LAW.
Raines' Liquor Bill Goes to Gov. Morton
for Signature.

for Signature.
Albany, N. Y, March 13.-Behind
locked doors the assembly voted on the
Raines excise bill Thursday, and before
adjournment it passed by vote of
"a yeas to 50 nays. The bill passed the
senate last Tuesday, and now goes to
Gov. Morton for his signature. 1t is
conceded that the governor will sign
the bill and that it will become law.
1t is presumed that the Immediate ef-
feet of the measure will be the whole
in the state, and its adhcrents claim
a great increase in state revenue.
[The Raines liquor bill fs a measure to
put the entire liquor traffic and interests
under state control. 1t abolishes all local
excise boards and creates state commis-
stoner, a deputy, three inspectors and 60
irspectors-at-large. The commissioner S
bureau is located at Albany. The bill raises
the license rates In New York city to
$500, in Brooklyn to $3.50, and in smaller
cities to $500. The present license rate
granting Of licenses Is at the option of
the municipal excise commissioners. Under
the Raines bill all-night licenses and the
sole Of liquor on Sundays are prohibited
except In hotels with meals. This pro-
hibition extends to clubs. 1t fixes fine
for a violation of the law at not less than
twice the amount of the licensee. It al-
lcws local option in towns but not in cities.
It compels the posting of liquor licenses
in windows Z: saloons. and also requires
saloons to leave open the shades during
the time they must close. No saloon can
d. business within 200 feet Of a church
or school. The bill gives one-third of the
net revenue collected to the state and two
thirds to the county. Under the present law
the entiro tax goes to theacounty or state. ]

CHASTITY FIND.
A Dead Body Found Among a
Lot of Unclaimed Freight.
It was Packed in a Trunk Surround
ed With Chloride of Lime.
The Box Was Marked to G. M. Morgan,
108 Jefferson Court, Chicago Two Men
Buy the Package at Sale, and Are
HorriHcd Over Their Bargain.

CHICAGO, March 27.-In box among
lot of unclaimed freight bought by a
man in Austin, ILL.,, Thursday after
noon, was found box containing the
body of man packed in chloride Of
lime and badly decomposed. 1t was
marked to G. NJ. Morgan, 1855 Jefferson
Court, Chicago.
Philip Greiss and Carl Hoff, both of
Austin, came into the city Thursday
and bought lot of unclaimed freight
which was stored in the warehouse of
Wakem & Mclaughlin, on South Water
street, The goods were delivered at
the house of Hoff, whose boxes
were opened. The first one they
opened contained new trunk.
Around it was packed layer of
sawdust The trunk was opened and
inside was found Theoretically sealed
box of zinc made to fit the trunk. This
being broken open was found to hold
the corpse of a man badly decomposed.
1t had first been doubled up and
wrapped with small rope and
then packed in tight with chlo-
ride of lime. The men were hor-
rified at their find and with Mr..
Hoff went to the police station at Aus
tin and reported their experience. A
patrol wagon was sent for the body
and 1t was taken to the county morgue.
The police are now working on the
case, trying to discover where the body
came from and why it was so packed.
The name of G. NJ. Morgan does not ap-
pear in the Chicago directory.
j. Wallace Wakem, of the firm OF
Wakem & Mclaughlin, was seen late
Thursday night in regard to the mys-
terious box. He Immediately knew to
what box was referred when he was
approached.
That box" he said, was stored
with us by the Michigan Central rail.
road a year ago. We put it in the
warehouse, and recall now that bad
odors were noticeable around it. We
had some barrels of water standing
around for use in case of fire and had
the water changed often, thinking it
was the standing water which made
the offensive smell. OF late it has not
been noticed. Two weeks ago, know
ing the box was to be sold, we made an
effort to find its owner, but no one
knew of G. NJ. Morgan. The box was
put up and sold and that is all l know
about it. Where it came from do not
know"

HE CHANGED HIS MIND.
Praying for Death, tho Lover Struggle

Praying for Death, tho Lover Struggled
Against 1t When Menaced.
A curious case of nervous hallucina-
ton is reported in the London Tele.
graph. At Bordeaux recently hyster-
ical Frenchman visited the tomb where
his beloved was laid. Carrying lighted
candle and lneeling by her coffin, he ex-
claimed passionately: would could
die! Would could die!" Just then the
wind closed the door and cxtinguished
the light. The bereaved lover who had
just prayed for death rushed for the
door; he could not open it; he tore at
it, knocked, kicked, struggled, calling
loudly for help. No answer, only the
utter silence and darkness Of the tomb.
His wish to die was forgotten. He sank
down and wept; his tears were not for
his beloved, but for himself. He felt
the pangs of hunger; he thought of his
candle and cut it into four parts. He
ate the first quarter the first day, the
second quarter on the second day, the
third on the third day, and the last
quarter on the fourth day. No more,
and he must die of starvation. He made
one more desperate effort to open the
door, when it suddenly opened and the
keeper of the cemetery stood before
him; the sunlight blinded him, and he
fell from exhaustion. He had been
there just four hours.

wslk rrectly.
Not more than two men in 100 walk
erectly. This observation comes from
q man who is a crank about the benefits
of wide, flat.shoes, says the New York
Press. He declares he has made notes
and knows what he is talking about.
He thinks that the "two men in 1907
wear the same kind of shoes that he
wears, which look like those used for
walking on water. This man also be-
lieves that the percentage of women
not worth considering.
The whole trouble he attributes to
shoes. He says men and women were
never intended to wear shoes at all. It
is his observation that when The foot
is flattened out and the toes spread the
natural movement of the body is to
straighten itself. This he attributes
to certain muscular action, and he has q
chart to prove it.
When the foot is compressed by q
shoe and the toes jammcd together
there is a sympathetic tension on the
whole muscular and nervous system
(which draws the body forward or
bends it.
1t has been noted in his calculations
that persons in bathing costume on the
beach walk much straighter. 1t is also
Il notable fact that the Indian, who runs
barefooted on the plains, has the proud
est kind of n walk. He is as straight as
an iron pole.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, March 27.-The
dignity of the United States court was
ruffled Thursday by fight which took
place between three federal prisoners
and a witness while the prisoners, in
charge of a marshal, were being taken
from the court room.
Chas. Burns, VIM. Petty and Samuel

and this noon the quartette met at
the entrance of the courtroom.
The alleged counterfeiters were
handcuffed and closely guarded
but Notwithstanding this precaution
Burns made a lunge with his free hand
which staggered McBee, and, surround
ing him, the trio began to beat and
kick him. Officers hastened to the res
cue and using their guns as cudgels
soon had Burns lying insensible on the
floor.

THE AVIS
Saturday, 25th July 1896.
Ghrigtiansted. Sc. Ereix

A special telegram on Wednesday informed
us that "thc Royal marriage between Princess
Maud Of Wales and Prince Carl took place"
on that day, and that after the welding
luncheon the bridal PARTY proceeded to Marl-
borough House, through Piccadilly ana ST.
James's, and that the greatest enthusiasm p e.
vailed amongst The immense as>embla4e
along the line Of the procession, the emit .
route being deliberately decorated, the Eng
Iish and Denish flags cntwiued beng con-
spicuous. Those Of our readers who know
London viii be aware that the line Of route
is a very fine one, and will realize how bril-
liant the scene must have been.
AS we II marked on Wednesday morning,
the event has an especial interest for MS IN
these Dlnish islands, not only because the
Prince is the grandson If our Sovereign, but
because quite recently, as we'll as on a former
occasion, h- hos visited these islands.
Prince Carl frst came here in 1856, as a
midshipnm on the frigate Upland, Com
manler Wulf, aud his second visit WAS at
the close Of last year, when he came as second
lieutenant on b ,ard the fIigate Fyen, Com
mamler CARGO. Many details Of this visit
will be familiar to our readers, but we mly
recall thrt His Royal Highness arrived in
St. Thomas on the 22nd December and was
publicly received on the 23rd. He arrived in
st. Croix on the 18th of january 1896 and re-
NAMED til he 23th, when the Fyen returned
to St. Thomas and left shortly afterwards for
Denmark.
Prince Carl is the second son of H .R.Il.
the Crowa Prince and was born on the Bird
Of August 1872. His bride, the Princess
Maud, is the 3rd daughter Of the Prince and
Princess Of Wales, and was born on the
Goth of n ,vvmher 1859.
The match has been very popular in both
count les am 5 ems likely to be a very h'p-
by ONE.
We lne day was marked here hy military
hsnours. particularly by a royal salute fired
from the wharf at noon. Flags were flying
during the day from public and priyat. build
ings, and in the evening there was a display
of fire works from The For, to witness which
large number Of people were assembled.
