WAR RELICS.
y Museum for Their Exhibition Pro-
posed

I'm posed.
There Is a movement on foot in army
anu navy circles to collect and EXHIBIT
all relics of whatever nature of the war
between the United States and Spain.
and judging from the prominence and
position OF the leading spirits in the
affair it will be quite successful from
all points OF view.
Captain G.. C. Cook. of the First Ohio
Regiment, United States Volunteers. is
the chairman of a committee organized
to take charge of the exhibitions. and it
is proposed to have it in the Hotel
Chamberiin, at Old Point. which has
been rendered by Manager Allan F.
Campbell. All the officers of the regu-
lar army stationed at Fort Monroe are
interested in the collection OF these
relics and will do all they can to make
Il success OF the exhibition.
1t is probable that. after the relics
are shown at the Chamberlin, they
will be exhibited at other points in the
country, and arrangements to this end
are already under way. 1t is desired
by those having the exhibition in their
charge to receive trophies and relics OF
machetes. rifles and revolvers. prefer
ably from the battles of Santiago dc
Cuba and San Juan Hill. war vessels
Infanta Maria Teresa, Nizcaya. Almi-
rante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon.
Among navy and army officers who
are interested in the matter are Major
Donald Mclean. Captain j. G.. Fogg,
Captain ]. T. Mckay. Captain Alex. S.
Taylor. Captain G. c. Cook. and Cap
tain Henry Seymour. of the Merritt
and Chapman Derrick and Wrecking
Company.
Contributions of relics arc particular
ly expected from the United States
ship Vulcan, repair ship: the tug Nler-
rift, wrerking tug; tho United States
collier Leonidas. and the United States
cruiser Brooklyn. the United States
lbattleshSps Oregon and Texas.
The committee expects the loan Of
many relics and trophies. and will
guarantee that their owners shall tie
put to no expense for their transporta-
ton, and will be secured against amy
loss whatever and the safe return of
the relics. Many posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic have heartily APP
proved of this proposed collection and
exhibition, and If it assumes the pro-
portions which it is thought will follow

to the principal cities of the United
All the proceeds OF the exhibition will
be devoted to charitable purposes.

||sSSary, fail to find fror.:~t the evidence that
|ss$ny ant;dotes were used to counteract
Xhe effects of the morphine"
This terse, bare. but eloquent verdict
3yof coroners jury, rendered at half
|past 10 O'Clock last night in the office of
Dr.. Joseph Charles, tells briefly the
story of a pathetic and sensational
death
Richard Lorton Harrison. a boy of
sixteen, bright, well advanced for his
age, popular among his friends, died
early yesterday morning at his board
ing house, Mrs. AIcCulloch's residence
mo. 221 Twenty-siNth street. If the tes-
timony before the coroner's jury was
correct, he had taken enough morphine
30 kill a number of men.
545 There are conflicting statements as to
the circumstances surrounding the poor
hboy's death. His brother asserts that
he took the morphine to allay the pain
caused by severe headache. It was in
seyidence, however. that he took the
poison because the girl he had conceived
"a: fondness for did not. as he thought
care for him
iz- Yong Harrison formerly worked for
a. e. G. Klor. the druggist. and it was
at the store where he was once employ
ed that he secured the drug with which,
Intentionally or unintentiona!ly. he end
ed his life. He went behind the counter
and got it, just how much does not APP
pear, but evidently n considera BILE
quantity, as morphine is weighed. He
took part of this at the store and the
q rest of it after he had returned to his
boarding house.
But the whole story is told by the evil
4dence adduced at the coroner's inquest.
which was held by DR.. Gary. who sum-
lnoned the following jury as soon as he
was notified of the death of the unfor-
itunate boy: Messrs J. l.. Marye. Jr..
