Washington. Dec. S.=FeebIe opposi. ton to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty ill tae senate committee on foreign rela- t0ns was overcome, and the commit tee without a dissenting vote, order cd the treaty to be favorably reported. The opposition came from Senators Bacon and Money. who do not dare oppose the canal, and who, like all those Who have aided the ohstr,,..- ton of the canal, have sought some means of doing it by indireetion. Senator Bacon. at the committee meeting, offered an amendment to the treaty, which. if adopted. would have led to the rejection of the treaty by Great Britain and would have defer. red the first steps . the building of the canal for several years. In this he was supported by Senator Money. Both of these senators are from 2 section of the country that is in far of of the Nlcara2uan canal. and both profess to be friends of the canal. Senator Jones. of Arkansas. the pemoef3tle= leader ill the senate said that he expected to see the treaty r9ti- led He said that he did not think that the opposition would amount to anything because every one desired the canal to be built and if any person opposes the bill he would be very apt 10 De charged with fighting the canal. representative Hepburn introfPfa3 III the house new bill. for the con. stfuctlon of the canal.

DRINK IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
People of the state Consumed Two
and n Half Millions worth OF
Liquor In Eleven Months.

The largest whisky bottling estab-
1ishment in the world is located in
South Carolina, says the New York
Herald. There are extensive distil-
leries and immense bottllng works
scattered throughout the country, as
may be noted by the advertisements
on the dead walls of the city. But
the palmetto state concern towers
above them all.
In the II months of the year 1900
the month of December not being
considered in the fiscal arrangement
the commonwealth, in its capacity
of barkeeper to all its citizens, dis
posed of $2,481 ,S40.22 worth of drink
ables. This sum was in advance of
the entire preceding IL months by
$750,000. For the entire year of 1900
the increase has been $1,000,000, sug-
gesting a remarkable advance in the
thirst of the people of South Caro-
lima. December was naturally the
heaviest month of all in the sales
at the various dispensaries scattered
throughout the state. All the coun-
try and his brother appeared to be in
want of bottle during the month
of the great holiday, and thus the
sales rose $250,000 in 81 days.
South Cardinals experiment in
drink Sc ing has proved unusually in
teresting. The system was put in
practice in 1894, at which time the
state advanced $5O,o0o for stock"
This $4,000 has long since been re-
turned to the treasury, and the state,
the counties and the cities have been
making money ever since.
Out of the sales last year the profits
TO the state was $176,012, and this
will be used FOR the improvement of
the public schools. The remainder
of the total profits of $474,17s is to be
divided among the towns and coun-
ties in whose districts are dispen-
saries.

UNCLAIMED FORTUNES.
Large Amounts of Money That Are
Awaiting Claimants in the
London Courts.

large number of heirs to consid-
cradle sums of money lettby decedents
during the last year have not yet been
located, says a London exchange. To
mention few out of the many still
sought, it may be stated that the next
of kin of Baron de Gavedell Geanny,
who died at Pisa in 1S42, are sought, and
there is lot of money waiting for the
missing heirs of Joseph Sullivan, ior-
merly of Cork and late of San Fran
cisco.
Six thousands pounds sterling await
James Il. Higgins or his children. He
was last heard of in New York and be-
yond that the veil seems impenetra BILE.
A dying mother left her child, named
Robert Purkis, in the care of friends
years ago. There is money for that
child if he can only be found.
A Doncaster race meeting in 1884
saw the last of W. j. Clarksou, so far as
is known. Money awaits him now.
AS far back as 1889 Peter Sullivan
lived in Waterford, In 1900 the court of
chancery is looking for his descend
ants.
Scarcely less curious than the long
list of missing persons is the table show
ing the strange resurrection of long
lost companies.
For instance, the West New Jersey
society has paid no dividend on its
stock since 1902, but representatives of
the shareholders are now being sought.
There are hareholders in the Waterloo
Bridge company whose addresses are

LaGrippe Quickly Cured.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899 |
was taken down with a severe attack
of what is called LaGrippe" says F..

Winfield, Ill. "The only medicine
used was two bottles of Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy. 1t broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and have never since been troubled
with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy can always be depended upon
to break up "A severe cold and ward off
any threatened attack of pneumonia.
1t is pleasant to take, too, which
makes it the most desirable and one OF
the most popular preparations in use
for these ailments. For sale by lola

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BOOKS
Copies of Some of the Earliest Known
to Have Been Printed
There.

Those who have given attention 20
the past history Of the district, and es-
pecially to the output Of the local print
ing press in the early years, will be in
terested TO know that quite recently
some important additions have been
made to the stock of information on
that subject. About a year ago a pa
per on the early imprints of the district
was read before the Columbia His
torical society by Mr.. A. P. C.. Griffin,
who is at the head of the photographic
department of the library of congress.
This paper will be the fourth volume
of the proceedings of the society. which
is about ready for the press, says the
Washington Star. The earliest book
mentioned by Mr.. Griffin is the Po-
tomac almanac for the year 1892. pub
lished in Georgetown. There is no date
in the imprint, but the supposition is
that the work was printed in the year
1892.
Since then there has come into the
possession of Mr.. w. B. Bryan Cath
olic book Of devotions bearing the i'm
print of Georgetown, 1892, which is the
earliest known date of any book pub
lished in the district. Quite recently,
however, Mr.. John T. Loomis discovered
a pamphlet bearing date of 1891 and
printed in Georgetown by NJ. Day and
w. Hancock. The pamphlet contains
two sermons on the perseverance OF the
saints by John Bloomer Balch, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of George
town and a well-known resident of the
district at the time and for several
years afterward

oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise.
The glories Of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
Jesus, the name that calms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease;
Ills music in the sinners ears;
TITS life and health and peace.
While much of the modern music
is a religious doggcrel, a consecrated
nonsense, "A sacred imbecility, | would
like to see some great musician of
our time lift the baton and marshal

God. But the first thing to do is to
drive out the dumb devil of the text
from all our churches.
DO not, however, let us lose our
selves in goneralities. Not one of us
but has had our lives sometimes
touched by the evil spirit of
the tcXt-this awful dumb devil.
We had just one opportunity of say
ing "A Christian word that might have

life. The opportunity was fairly put
before us. The word of invitation or

wagon you can find and pile il fun
of f-fends and neighbors and shout
till they hear you all up and down
the skies; Come with us, and we
VIII do you good, for the Lord hath
promised good concerning Israel"
The opportunity for good which Won
may consider insignificant may be
tremendous for results, as when on
the sea Capt, Haldane swore at the
ships crew with an oath that wished
them all in perdition, and a Scotch
sailor touched his cap and said:
Captain, God hears prayer, and we
would be badly off if your wish were
answered" Capt. Haldane was con-
victed by the sailors remark and con-
verted and became the means of the
salvation of his brother Robert, who
had been an infidel, and then Robert
became minister of the Gospel, and
under his ministry the goddess Felix
Netf became the world-renowned mis-
sionary of the cross, and the worldly
Merle d'Aubigne became the author
of "The History of the Reformation"
and win be the glory of the church
for all ages. Perhaps you may do
ns much as the Scotch sailor who lust
tipped his cap and used one broken
sentence by whicn the earth and the
heavens are still resounding with po-
tent influences. Do something for
God, and do it right away or you will
never do it at all.
Time flies away fast,

End of AdoIph F. kraus, a Famous
 Sculptor.

Hyde Park, Mass, November s.-An- nouncement was made here today of the death of Adolph F. Kraus, the famous sculptor, which took place in Danver' s Insane Hospital last week. MT. Kraus had been receiving treatment at the institution since last July. He was 51 years of age. A widow, four sons and two daughters survive him.
 A pensioner of the Prussian govern ment and winner of the grand prize of Rome. the name of the sculptor was es- tablished in Europe before he came to America in 1881. In this country the dis appointment of his ambition to produce a masterpiece. which Is said to have caused his mind to give way. He had partially completed a model in clay of a heroic figure of Belshazzar at the mo- ment of seeing the handwriting on the wall when it began to crumble and Kraus was compelled to abandon the work, his mind became unbanalced soon afterwards.
 Among his noted pieces in America are the Theodore Parker and the Crispus Attuck's monuments, and the Iowa State Soldiers monument. He was the sculp- tor of the winged figures of victory that crowned the towers of Machinery Hall at the Worlds Fair at Chicago, and which received great admiration.

HOLD SECRET SESSION.
Kentucky Breeders Hear Sensational
 Testimony About Moving Pole.

Lexington, November S.-The commit tee appointed by the Thoroughbred Breed ers' Association to further investigate the turf scandal in this city held a secret session of several hours today. Trainer Dan O'Brien who, before the first inves- tigation committee shouldered the blame for having moved the three-eighths pole at the Kentucky Association race course, so that a colt might be sold to Clarence Mackay on false time, was be- fore the committee most of the time. Hal P. Headley, Dr. R. M. Bryan and R. D. Wilson, were other witnesses.
 All of the members committed them selves to secrecy as to the testimony re- ceived. One admitted that it was sen- sational, thereby strengthening report that, tired of bearing all the blame, OBrien would implicate others. The committee will meet again Wednes- day.
