Pierce, pastor of the Baptist Church. heartily agrees with Rev. Dr. Coyle that 1t is the duty of ministers not to foment strife, but & to pour oil on the troubled duty of those who do not. to engage in works of peace and mercy. This can be accomplished by nursing the sick and Wounoed, regardless of race. To effect this more thoroughly a sanitary commits sion should be formed, and in conjunc- tion with the Red Cross great good could De be accomplished. This should be the true fested by all followers of Christ.

together and masked, visited all the

One negro refused to go, and the
miners fired on him. He has not been

One policeman, Anderson Cannon,

The masked miners took the town.

PRIESTS HIDDEN HOARD.
Father AIbinger Lived Like n Pau
per and Left Fortune.

Father AIbinger Lived Like Pau
per and Left "a Fortune.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean
After nearly a year Of searching in
the cellars and garrets Of an old rec
tory at Mount Vernon, N. Y, hoard
of gold and securities, aggregating in
value many thousand dollars, left by
Father Albinger, the deceased pastor
of the Church of Our Lady of Victory,
in this city, was discovered.
Father Albinger, although rector Of
q large parish and having a good in
come, lived in a tumbledoWn rectory,
whose interior was as bare as that of
his most poverty stricken parishioner.
He frequently preached against the &C
emulation of riches and said the love
of gold was the great curse of the
age. He was very generous toward the
poor members of his parish, and they
thought he divided all his income
among them and that he might do so
lived in abject poverty himself with
an aged housekeeper who came from
Germany.
After Father Albinger's death last
March ii, was rumored that he had
saved a great deal of money. AS he
left no will and no clew to any wealth
he might have accumulated, search was
made of the old rectory for the hidden
hoard he was supposed to have left.
AS nothing was found then the mat
ter rested until about three months
ago.
Father Albinger's body was buried in
his native city, Frankfort, Germany,
where two sisters, his only surviving
relatives lived. They heard from
friends of Father Albinger reports con-
corning the hidden wealth he was sup
posed to have left, and wrote to the
German consul in New York city, who
communicated with Francis NJ Car
penter, the treasurer of Westchester
county.
Mr. Carpenter Immediately began an
investigation, which resulted in the
finding of twenty-five old German purs-
es each of which contained 1000 marks
in German gold, and a tin box in which
were $4,000 worth OF securities. The
clew to this hidden wealth was found
in q secret drawer OF an old desk,
which was hidden away in the attic
of the rectory. The old housekeeper
told of Father Albinger often going to
this desk, in the drawer of which was
found a receipt for a safe deposit box
in a New York city bank. and a key
The old purses filled with gold and
the securities, with whatever may be
found In the safe deposit vault, will be

of Honduras assert that indigo is
good antidote, but ammonia is the best
remedy for poisonous virus, generally.
AS long as the scorpion is treated with
due respect 1t will reciprocate; other
wise there is fair probability that the
neat little dart at the end of it's inter-
esting but WOful tail will be thrust into
the aggressor's skin, injecting a thou
sandth part Of a drop-no more-of the
Virulent white liquid stored in gland
at the base of the sting.
The scorpion is often alluded to as If
1T were kind of viper. This is simply
thoughtlessness, for everybody ought
to know that it belongs to the spider
family. Another member of the same
family is the big jumping spider called,
by the Maya Indians, chitun. It's long
legs are exceedingly active and its
mouth has a spiteful, threatening eX-
preston. The chitun attacks very
promptly when startled, and its bite
Is fatal in some cases.
The great hairy tarantula is common
ly dreaded, though not aggressive; in
fact, some persons declare that it does
not bite, but it should be particularly
avoided on account Of it's hair, fine
bristles which, If they enter the pores
of the skin, make exceedingly bad
sores. In places these black-haired
spiders, whose bodies measure two
riches in diameter, are so numerous
that occasionally whole armies OF them
can be seen changing their quarters
In such districts it is always advisable
to shake each garment before dOnning
it; also to give boots and shoes good
rapping on their upturned soles in or
der that scorpions and others of the
spider family may have a fair chance
to Vacate the premises. This polite at
tention may prevent an unpleasant en-
counter.
THE CRAB-SPIDER.
AS the crab was first considered, the
crab-spider may close the subject un-
der consideration. This curious little
being is too interesting to be left out
and sufficiently dangerous to guard
against, since one is enough to close
the career of the finest race horse
When full-groWn the am is about the
size of a dime; in shape it is like a
claWless crab, and it's color is bright
yellow with brown spots. This pretty
little body is exceedingly venomous,
not that it bites, but because 1t poisons
the man or beast that has the mis-
fortune to swallow it in water, or in
fodder, among which insects are apt
to tumble. One am suff1ces to cause
the death of horse or mule. 1t is as
serted that a human being poisoned
by the same means continues to ex-
claim am! am! am!' up to the hour
of death; for which reason the Maya
Indians name the spider thus. No big
spider has such an appetite as this
small one; it consumes an astonishing
number of flies. The am lives on trees,
and nothing can be more interesting
than to watch 1t rapidly spinning it's
great web. Upon the approach of a
storm it quickly draws all the fiber
back into it's body, and until fair
weather again prevails remains motion
less beneath a leaf or in any con-
venient nook.

sick each day has gradually grown less and
the general health of the soldiers has been
improved since coming here His assertion
that the regiment could not do q ten-mile
march without losing half It's members Is
ridiculous and libel on the strongest regI-
ment Minnesota ever sent to the front. As to
the clothing it may be Said that one or two
blankets was found to be insufficient, but we
are no worse off than any other regiment in
camp, as the weather was unusually cold for
that time OF the year. How much more b an
kets were needed can be understood by the
fact that today at the drawing of clothes and
blankets, one company drew only three blan-
kets, notwithstanding the fact that no limit
was placed on the number drawn.
The secret of the writer's trouble Is found
in the paragraph following: a.,

If the truth could be known have no doubt
that the person who penned the above has ap-
piled for a discharge on the, grounds that ne

q man. That comes hard to some. They are
the ones whom the boys will bid Godspeed If
them. 1t is all right for man to express his
