But few years ago the choice in man
telpieces was limited to marble or wood,
with n prediction In favor of the latter
material, perhaps, in the best examples
combined with stone, brick or tiles. Bus
now new material, or rather an old ma
tcrial put to new uses, Is suing for popular
favor, and the beautiful and artistic, orna-
mental, unglazcd brick mantel is deserv-
ing more than popular notice. These man

happy combinations that can be made from
the various shapes of observation-disclosures
These bricks are pressed In molds prepared
from patterns of Greek and renaissance
designs, and the effect Is that of carved
work. They arc made i'm different colors,
red, cream, buff, pink, brown and gray,
thus securing choice of coloring to har-
monizc or contrast perfectly with any
scheme Of surrounding decoration.

WEST SIDE CLUB.

Second I'm the Secies of Debates Held
Yesterday Afternoon.
The second in the series of debates
which are being held under the auspices of
the West Side Republican Club, was held
at headquarters last night, and there was
a large attendance of members. The argu-
ments advanced by both sides were SO
convincing that 1t was impossible for the
judges to come to any conclusion, so no
decision was given. The question was: {:
"Resolved, that capital punishment has a
tendency to reduce crime" Benjamin
Pearson was the presiding officer, and the
question was ably argued by Messrs.
James McConniche and w. Ia. Winston
for the affirmative, and Messrs. Joseph
Hanson and John Dewhurst for the mega
tive.

Thin people are thin because the food

Fat, oils and grease will not make any

Have you ever noticed that almost with

BABOON SOLDIERS.
They Garry on Warfare by Means Of Or
ganized Bands.

They Garry on Warfare by Means Of Or
ganized Bands.
Man Is not the only animal who carries
on his warfare by means of organized
bands and calls in the forces Of nature to
assist him. The German naturalist and
traveller Brehm witnessed in Central Africa
fights that were conducted in as orderly a
manner as If the warriors had been really
men instead of only somewhat like them
in form.
The actors in the play were balloons,
and their enemies were in one case the
travellers dogs, though the balloons were
ready to fight with any creature that at
tackled them, man only excepted, and he
owed his exemption solely to the fact that
the baboohs could not often gain q point
of vantage.
The naturalist himself was once stoned
out Of pass in q very few minutes by
these creatures, who sprang upon lodges
and stones, looked down for a few mo-
ments on the valley, growing, snarling
and screaming, and then began to roll
down stones with 80 much vigor and
adroitness that the intruders took to flight.
The balloons evidently knew the value of
cooperation, for the naturalist saw two of
them combine their efforts in order to set
a particularly heavy stone rolling. One
monkey, bent on making the most of his
missile, was seen to carry stone up tree
that he might hurl 1t with greater effect.
On the occasion when the dogs attacked
the balloons the baboons were crossing
valley, and, as usual during march, the
females and young were in the center,
the males heading the column and bring
ing up the rear. AS the dogs rushed upon
them only the females took to flight.
The males turned and faced the enemy,
growing, beating the ground with their
hands and opening their mouths wide 80
as to show their glittering teeth. They
looked SO fierce and malicious that the
dogs-Arab greyhounds, accustomed tc
fight successfully with hyenas and other
beasts Of prey-shrank back. BY the time
they were encouraged to renew the attack
the whole herd had made its way, Gov
cred by the rear guard, to the rocks, one
6-months-old monkey alone excepted.
This little monkey sat on a rock, sur
rounded by the dogs, but he was not long
left in his perilous position. An old bab-
Don stepped from a cliff near by, advanced
toward the dogs, keeping them in check
by threatening gestures and sounds, pick
ed up the baby monkey and carried it to
a place of safety on the cliff, while the
whole crowd Of balloons watched the act
of heroism and shouted their battlecry.

Scientific Temperance Work
Discussed at Embury N.
E. Church Last Night.
A Powerful Address Made By
Mrs. Mary E. Babcock, the
State President of Union.
REV. L. q. HORTON LAST SPEAKER
The Idea Of Having Temperance Work Part
OF the School Curriculum Is Gaining
Many Strong Advocates.

Two important events occurred in this
city which will have great bearing upon
the temperance question in the future.
The first was the raid made by the police
department upon two places which have
been under suspicion for some time. The
second were the services held at the En-
busy N. e. Church in the evening. Both
had for the same object the suppression Of
the liquor traffic, yet each was carried out
upon different lines. The first waslfor the
suppression Of the illegal selling OF liquor
upon the Sabbath, and the second was to
Impress upon the minds of the citizens
the importance of striking at the foun-
tain head, namely, training of the youth
in the public schools.
The services at the Embury M. E. Church
in the evening, under the auspices OF the
members of the w. c. T. u. OF this city,
aided by the State Officers of the organiza-
tion. Rev. l.. G. Horton, the pastor of the
church, has been an Incorporating foe
to the liquor element, and for the last two
years has done yeoman service in trying to
build up strong public sentiment against
the liquor shops. His strong appeals, both
in private and public has crystalized pub
lie sentiment to such a degree that the
present executive received handsome en-
dorsement at the last election.
Physical Effects OF Alcohol.
Besides the regular congregation many
prominent people of the city, including
Superintendent Draper of the Public
Schools, number of the School Commit
tee and good representation of the
teachers of the public schools, were pres
ent in the church to hear the remarks by
the eminent speakers Of the evening. Rev.
Mr.. Horton spoke of the movement and
gave two reasons for advocating this new
idea. In the first place it was sensible
one, and in the second place he firmly be-
lieved In the enforcement Of the law. He
further believed in advocating any system
whereby the evil of intemperance would
be checked.
Mrs. Mary E. Babcock, president of the
State w. &. It. u, was introduced, and
described the physical defects of alcohol
and the injuries it works upon the human
system.
The way to do is to teach temperance in
the public SCHOOLS.
Miss Elizabeth p. Nichols, state secre-
tary, was the next speaker, and spoke of
the necessity of this temperance instruc-
tion in the schools.
Miss Edna B. Hale, instructor for this
work in the public schools, spoke of the
manner in which the law was observed.
Rev. Mr.. Horton closed the exercises of
the evening and appealed to all to take an
interest in this matter. He referred to the
success which met Superintendent Draper's
efforts in obtaining pledges from the boys
of the schools against the use of tobacco,
and said the same results would be OBJ
tanned in this movement.

GREELEY'S WRITING.

A Pretty Tough Story About the Eccen-
trio Old Editors Chirography.
There was only one printer who could
read Greeley's writing well enough to put
cit in type. He used to boast that he could
read the great EDITORS wondrous scrawl a
mile away.
One night the boys In The Tribune COM
posing room "put up job" on the old
man. They took two ROSTERS, made them
walk around on newly linked form and
then run all over ten sheets of copy paper.
The foreman wrote over it In Greeley g
well known scrawl, "The Plain Duty Of
Congress" and put it on old man Law
tons hook. l think his name was Law
ton, but II 1t was not 1t does not matter
much.
The old printer picked 1t up, swore a lit
tie, remarked that they had to shove the
stuff on the old man, as usual, adjusted
his spectacles and began sticking type.
The other printers watched him for q
few minutes, but beyond muttered oath
or two he gave no sign. Lawton went on
setting type until about half way through
the copy
He took the copy over to the foreman
and asked:
Jack, what Is that wordf"
81 don't know" replied the foreman.
"You know / never could read the stuff. F"
Lawton took the sheet down To Greeley
and pointed out to him particularly aw-
ful scrawl of the ROSTERS foot, asking
what word that was.

piled, with frown:

Sergt. Louks and Officer Coombs made
two raids yesterday afternoon, secured
some contraband liquors and evidence
which they think will convict two men
OF selling liquor illegally.
The first place visited was the premises
OF Christopher Brady at 80 Watson street.
The officers descended upon the place at
1880 yesterday noon, and found a man
standing guard at the doorway leading
into rear cellar. At sight Of the officers
Mr.. Guard took leg bail, and was seen no

Celebrating His Release.
Ransom Eldridge was in the tolls Of the

he is called, was liberated Saturday noon
from the State Institution, and he became
so overjoyed that as soon as he struck town
he started in to celebrate the event. Ransie
did the thing up brown, and at IL 20 Q, clock

him strolling around Dexter street with
seven different kinds of jags aboard. Ran

and the officer told them to move on. This
they would not do, and after repeated re-
