f. N E. r A L FRA NJ SIGEL.

Gen. Franz Sigel, distinguished
figure on the union side in the civil
war, and one of the leaders in the revo-
luton in southern Germany during the
days of 1S4S, died to-day at his home,
IN Bronx, says a recent New York re-
port to the Chicago Record-Herald.
Gen. Siegel was one of the most
picturesque of the heroes of the civil
war, at the close of which he had won
reputation for military genius and
power which placed him high up in the
list of famous men developed by the
great American conflict.
This German-American soldier was
born at Sinsheim, Baden, on Novem-
Der IS, 1924, and was educated at Carls-
ruhe for the military service. He was
in the army of Baden from 1S43 o SAT.
In the latter year he severely wound
ed hisantagonist in duel and resigned
from the army for political reasons.
He took part in the revolution of 1913
and 1S49, at the end of which he re-
treated with his army into Switzerland.
and a few years afterward came to the
United States with the intention of be-
coming a citizen.
Arriving at New York, Mr.. Sigel Sc
cured an engagement as a teacher in
a private school, and remained there
until 1857, in which year he removed to
st. Louis, at that time the metropolis
of the Mississippi valley, and the ed
ucational center of the west. Mr..
Sigel was promptly given position in
college at st. Louis, and it was while
thus engaged that his great opportu-
nifty came to him in the civil war.
In 1861 during the pitch of the local
excitement at st. Louis, Mr.. Sigel was
appointed colonel of the Third Mis-
souri, volunteers, and took part in the
capture of Camp Jacksonint the western

VENICE, THE TOTTERING.
The Falling o the CampaniIe Causes
Speculation rs to the
City's Future.

Is Venice, the beautiful queen of
the Adriatic, doomed to destruction?
Was the fall, few weeks ago. of the
great campanile of st. Marks, which
had stood for thousand years, pre-
sage of the disappearance of the
entire city with its palaces and
churches, and famous towers and
bridges? These are the questions
which the Venetians are now asking
for their apprehension makes the in
tensity of their fears the more pa
thetic, reports London paper.
And not Venetians alone would
grieve over the disappearance of the
unique and grand old city which even
now in her old age is almost as beau
tiful as in the days of her youth and
greatness, while infinitely richer in
wealth of story and tradition. Every
one who ever visited the city or who
was in any way familiar with it's glo-
rious history would sorrow over its de-
struction.
Prof. Otto Wagner, of the Academy
VI L lhV al u III anu one OF
greatest experts in Europe on con-
Etruction and building, in speaking of
the fall of the Campanile, said:
''In my opinion the whole of Venice
is doomed to destruction. The founda-

Perforated; the piles are becoming rot
ten and decayed and can no longer
support the immense weight above.
The oscillations and sinking, which
have been remarked for many years,
have had their effect upon the build
ings, and have necessitated continual
repairs and restorations. Thus the
Doges palace was only few years ago
thoroughly restored and whenever L
have been to Venice during the last
30 years I have seen architects and
masons busy at their work"

pute, says Mr.. Blackall, an eminent
architect, that the entire eastern coast
of the Adriatic sea is gradually sinking.

district of the city, thus in large part
practically crushing the rebellion in
st. Louis. This was on May 10. and
by July 5 young Sigel had fought and
won the battle of Carthage. He thus
builded his fame as the man who saved
Missouri to the union.
Military talent like this did not 90
long unrewarded. Col Sigel was
promptly promoted to the rank of brig
adler general, served with distinction
under Fremont in the campaign
against Price, and was in command of
two divisions at the battle of Pea
Ridge.
At this time Gen. Sigel had serious
disagreement with Gen. Halleck. and
threw up his commission. He was
hardly out of the army, however. when
he was recommissioned. this time as
a major general. and was put in COM
mand of the forces stationed at Har-
per's Ferry. He succeeded to the COM
mand of fremont's corps, and was one
OF the most gallant of the generals at
the second battle of Bull Run.
On September IA, 1862. Gen. Sigel was
assigned to the Eleventh army corps,
and in 1868 was placed in command of
a grand division under Burnside. In
1864 he succeeded to the command of
the department of West Virginia.
Some of Gen. Sigels work as COM
mander gave evidence of extraor-
binary ability. During Early's raid in
July, 1864, he defended MARYLAND
Heights with 1000 men against Il. goo
and IN many other ways demonstrated
ms peculiar fitness for a military
career.
After the close of the war Gen. Sigel
edlted the baltimore Wecker from 1865
TO 1867, and then settled in New York
clty and was soon an active participant
in politics.

ALCOHOLISM IN FRANCE.
DIR. Valiant, a Socialist Deputy for
Paris, Making a Bitter Fight
Against the Curse

The most strenuous fighter against
alcoholism in France to-day is DR..
Valiant, a socialist deputy for
Paris. He introduced the subject in
the last chamber and had to strug-
gle against general Indifference. On
all sides of the house deputies per-
sonally feared the publicans. The
government feared loss of revenue.
DIR. Valiant made so strong a case
against alcohol that the resolution
he moved was voted by a show of
hands. But this act of the legisla-
ture came to nothing. The minister
of finance at the next cabinet coun-
Gil asked the minister of the in
terror, who spoke in favor of doing
something" whether, to give pleas
ure to a faddist, he was going to
destroy one of the most fruitful;
sources of taxation?
DR.. Valiant believes that he will
"slay the monster" "What grounds
have you for this faith?" l asked.
''Simply that l have on my side sci
ence, sad and convincing experience,
and the conscience of every non-in-
ebriate workman. l may say the
conscience, too, of every decent
workwoman. The alcohol drinkers.
poor souls, do not count. They are
morally, mentally and almost phys
ically played out"
DR.. Valiant believes that the
leafiet, and especially the pictorial
leafet. has deterrent effect on
those who have not found their way to
the public house. His greatest am
bition is to be Peter the Hermit in a
crusade against alcohol. He warns
young doctors who help him to
avoid rhetoric or strong language,
but to give strong facts and in such
a way that a man must be a fool
who cannot draw from them the
right conclusion. Deputy Valiant
has had reason to complain of every
minister of the interior since he be-
gan to wage his holy war. But he
hopes NJ. Combes will give more sat
isfaction. He is a practicing physi-
clan and he has long fought and
still fights, the publicans at Pons,
the town of Lower Charente of
which he has been mayor for 80
years. NJ. Combes has the virtue of
fearlessness and is of one mind with
the Academy of Medicine on the
race deterioration that alcoholism
causes.
NJ. Valiant will soon bring the
rink question again before the
chamber. He looks forward to the
passing of stringent bill against the
manufacture or the sale of drinks
destructive to health, according to
the list of the Academy of Medicine.
