(Scripps News Association.)
RIO JANEIRO, Oct. 18-Viscount
Almeida, a we'll known member Of
society, committed suicide in a
novel manner. He invited num-
Der of his friends to dinner, and
afterward led them to cage of
lions that he had hired from a
travelling menagerie.
While all the guests weer watch
ing the animals and chatting, the
viscount opened the door of the
cage and entered. The lions
bounced upon him and he was
fatally mutilated before he could
be dragged out. 1t is said he was
overwhelmed by gambling debts.

farmer in this country and the
manner in which they are being ad-
vertised
Editorially he urges the people of
this and sister states not to exert
their efforts in bringing men OF
great wealth to this section as pur-
chasers, but to induce the small
farmer to locate here. He argues
that a section made up of small
farms adds more to the wealth of
the country than like section
containing a few large ranches.

Passed Away
in Reno.
Francis Henry Long, Well
known in Battle Noun
tain, Dies After Brief
Illness.

Francis Henry Long died last
Friday night at the home of Frank
Martin, 1888 Elm street, Reno, at s
O'Clock.
He was a nativeof San Francisco,
81 years of age. When only 15
years old he came to this State and
has lived in Nevada ever since.
Most of his life was spent in Lam
der county. About two years ago
he bought a ranch forty-ive miles
south of Winnemucca and was
prospering. Last February the
malady appeared which caused his
death, and in June he went to San
Francisco to be operated on for a
Icancerous growth. The skill Of
surgeons and physicians, however,
was inadequate, and though every
thing was done TO save his life, he
gradually succumbed to the raw
ages of the malignant disease, and
passed away Friday night.
He leaves a sister, Mrs. Mary
O'Leary, a nephew, VIM. O'Leary,
two ~nieces, Mrs. Kate Mefley and
Mrs. Frank Martin of Reno, be-
sides a nephew, Frank O'Leary in
Humboldt county, and three
nieces, Mrs. G.. B. Franklin, and
Nora O'Leary of Los Angeles and
Mrs. Henry Baker in Washington.
In former years the deceased
was very prominent in Republican
politics in this State. He was an
upright, honest man, of high in
tegrity and great strength of char
.acter. His loss will be mourned
by many in Nevada, who know
that a good man has departed this
life.
The funeral took place from the
home of Frank Martin ia Reno,
last Sunday at 2 o'clock, Rev. @.
L. Mears of the Congregational
church officiating.

10 Is the most dangerous device of
the devil that cOnfrOnts Us at the pre-

liquor selling respectable by putting
1t under the control Of the best people
in the community. II debaucLes the
public conscience by supplying a large
revenue for schools and good roads
But il is the same old saloon under a
new name. 1t brings poverty and
insanity and assaults and drunken
ness and death. Although the liquor
may be sold i'm bottles with the seal
OF the State, with the certificate of
deacon and stewards and elders, they
are black bottles STILL full Of woe and
crime and misery, and the money Is
simply the price for which the COM
munity sells its principles and the
children to the evil one. South Car
olina has tried it for several years and
is now reaping the awful fruits. The
communities in Virginia where they
are located are now sowing the flesh
and will Of the flesh reap corruption.

filled to its utmost capacity, including
many Of Farmyille's most apprecia-

the end he held them under his mag
netic influence.
At times their eyes were flied with
sympathetic tears, and then soon came
a universal roar Of laughter The tes-
timony Of all was: ~ perfect success;
equal to anything ever heard in our
Opera House" 1t would be difficult
in a short notice, fully 10 analyze the
lecture, and this we do not propose.
His subject was "Lopsided People
He described this class. and showed
its evils. lie also pointed out how
these evils might be remedied.
In reaching these ends, he had per
feet control Of himself and also of his
deeply interested audience.
At times he would seem the mper-
sOnation Of wit and humor that would
thrill the entire audience as il came
dancing from his eyes, his hands and
his entire body like electri, sparks.
Then when setting forth the remedy
for a one sided life he pointed out the
happy results Of perfectly devel-
oped Christian character, based only
upon Christian principles, and this
charmed all by its beauty, its sim
plicity and its power. Famville Will /
