between the business portion of the city
and hts home. near the Williams stables
On South Division street. He went di-
rectly home and upon becoming sick. DR..

with the use Of q stomach pump. was
successful in prolonging the patients life
but early the next morning. yesterday,

soon after this that he was turned over

cannonaded; but, although he made a
large breach in the western side, he
was not able to lay bare the chamber
containing the riches.
The first regular excavations were
made in 1866 by Berbrugger anu
Mccarthy under Napoleon III. They
cleared away a part Of the outer wall,
and made soundings to find an Internal
cavity, but it was only after four
months that it was found. By tun-
mel under the south panel they arrived
in a vast gallery, admirably preserved
and thus discovered the internal AZ
rangement of the structure. unfortu-
nately nothing whatever was found IN
this vault. The gallery, chambers and
corridors are paved with large flags
and built of well-cut stone. The body
OF the monument is solid, and consists
of rough stone and tufa blocks, irregu-
larly placed and Joined by a mortar OF
red or yellow earth. 1t was found that
the monument had been entered once,
or perhaps several times, for the pur'
pose of pillage. The stone doors were
broken, and whatever objects it con-
tained were carried off long ago.

The Crusade in Brief.

Let us continue to teach our boys ano
girls that alcohol is poison; that the
fact of its being oxodzed in the body. If
taken in small quantities, i not sutrlcient
to constitute it a food, and that the nor
NAL man is never benefited by 1t IN any
quantity.
Alcohol is not needed in any form as a
medicine. This fact is settled beyond
contumely by the many thousands of pa
tients treated in the LondoT Temperance
Hospital in recent years ald in that OF
Montreal and Chicago and other places,
in which these stimulants are not used as
a medicine.
Wine may give wings to the imagina-
ton, but it gives no wit to guide them.
Rev. DR.. Wilbur P. Thirfield, Secretary
of the Freedman's Society Of the NJ. f.
Church. says: The open saloon and the
whisky jug store are the greatest enemies
of our work They corrupt and lmpover-
ish the people. Rum drinking by the white
and colored people is responsible for the
great majority of race riots
Over 1000 West Virginia citizen soIdiery
encamped recently near Wheeling. There
was no canteen. owing to the preJudlce
against liquor of the owner of the camp
site. Ground was leased near by for a
canteen, but the Board of Trade threat
ened to break up the encampment If the
canteen was persisted in: The County
Commissioners refused license and only
soft drinks were sold.
