A Curious Epitaph,

The following epitaph is copied from a tomb in the vicinity of Port Royal, Jamaica: Here lieth the body of Louis Caldy. Esq, native of Mont peller, in France, which country he left on account of the revocation. He was swallowed up by the earthquake which occurred at that place in 1892, but by the great providence of God was, by second shock. flung into the sea, where he continued swimming un- til rescued by boat and lived forty years afterward."

The Mystery
 of Alcohol

By Paul Thieman, Editorial Writer
 The excuse of the Boulder frebugs is that they were drunk. Both of the men who set fire to the railroad yards, causing the death-dealing igni- tion of a carload of explosives, are described as having "borne good rep utation, which means that they were regarded as honest and well-meanirg fellows. The shocking crime they committed is an impressive illus tration of the danger of drinking. Alcohol is q concentrated food ele- ment and a burning stimulant. The ordinary effect of indulgence in all cohol is well known. It loos- ems the tongue, excites hilarity and, finally, stupefes, so that the man who, at certain stage, was exalted and elo- quent, becomes a drooling swine. But there is q psychological effect, which is comparatively unknown. ' If the man who drinks happens to be affected by some strong emotion, the alcohol powerfully intensifies the feel ing. The man who is breeding over his enmity toward some other per son becomes fiendish in his hate. Whatever the emotions, it is inten- siGed, whipped into fury and set ahame

HAVE A vANADIUM MINE
Phoenix Doctors Report Rich Find in
 Mine in tho Kelvin District

Drs. Plath and Foss are stepping ten feet at a step these days, says Phoe- nix paper,
 The cause of this cxuberance is the discovery of vanadium on their mining claims six miles from Kelvin. The vanadium has been found in big ledge with the outcroppings eight feet wide, Dr. Plath is up there now looking after the matter and Investigating it.
 Dr. Foss has in his office now speci- men that runs 10 per cent vanadium. Vanadium is worth $750 pound and this bit of ore is worth 30 cents a pound without being worked. Dr. Plath will return from Kelvin tomorrow and will bring down some more specimens.
 While the claims have not been thor oughly investigated, it is said that the largest deposit of vanadium in the world has been found on these claims, and there are ten claims on which the ore appears. Already the owners of the claims are valuing them at $200, 1000. These are the claims in which Mir. Sul- livan is also interested and belong to the local company, of which Dr. Foss is president.
 Vanadium is a rare element, discov- cred in 1880 by Sefstrem, and is now used in hardening steel. It is a kind of iron analogous to chromium and is being mined at present in Europe on a small scale. In fact, it is so rare that tung- stcn is used in its place for hardening steel, although tungsten is not as good for the purpose as vanadium.

One of the terrible incentives to drink is the production of "Dutch cour- age The man who is cow ardly-and who knows his own coward ice--can bring himself to the fighting point on the stimulation of alcohol. Indeed, in days gone by, they used to serve liquor to soldiers and sailors entering battle. It was reg ular custom. The old time American warships carried great quan- titles of rum. And it has been a custom of mercy, in executing crim- inals, to give them heavy draughts of liquor to brace them up to meeting death bravely. This element in alcohol is one of the mysteries. The victim of the drug habit becomes n miserable coward, while the man drunk on alcohol seorns danger. And there is terrible menace in this mystery. A large proportion of the crimes of violence are done by per sons crazed by alcohol. And one of the most terrible features of it is that, after the madness has passed, the man who did some terrible thing does not remember what he did. His mind is blank on the subject and he knows only what others tell him he did

CHINESE MASON
 WAS IN Fl PASC
Grand Master of Order Called Back to San Francisco by Death of Child Has Lived in This Country for Years and Is Thoroughly Americanized.

Wong Sam Aek, grand master of the Chinese Free MasOns in America, left Fl Paso yesterday afternoon for his home in Oakland, Cal, bearing a great burden of grief which he did not bring to Fl Paso with him, says the News.
 This intelligent and interesting native of the Celestial kingdom arrived in Fl Paso the latter part of last week on his way home from New Orleans, where he had been on an official business trip. He had planned to spend longer time in this city than he did, but after reaching here he received message announcing the death of his baby.
 Wong sam Ack, so his friends say, was married almost two years ago to the most beautiful Chinese girl in San Francisco. A year or so later a bright little girl baby came to bring sunshine into their home. When he kissed his wife and baby goodbye few weeks ago to make the long journey to New Orleans, they were we'll and happy. There was no indication that the hand of death was reaching its long, bony fingers out for the light of Wong sam Ack's life, and the news of his baby 's death came to him in this city with an almost unbearable shock
 All plans for the entertainment of the Chinese dignitary by the people from his country residing in Fl Paso were declared of, and a delegation of local Chinese sadly accompanied him to the first train which left for the Pacific coast after the shocking news was re- ceived.
 However, the local Chinese Masons had some opportunity to do honor to the national grand master of their or der. He was with them at their meet ing Saturday night, at which eight new members were received into the Fl Paso lodge and he expressed himself as being highly pleased with conditions among the Chinese Masons in this city. The local lodge now has 175 members and has a nice hall at 222 South Oregon street.
 "Chinese Masonry is rapidly gaining ground in the United States, said Wong Sam Ack, "and is doing great work among the Chinese people in this country Its aims are laudable, as you know the aims of Masonry among all nations to be, and whenever we make Chinaman a Mason we make him a better Chinaman and a more desirable citizen. We are trying to uplift the Chinese citizen of the United States, and, while we cannot accomplish every thing at once, we can already plainly see some good results from our efforts. v
 Wong Sam Ack has been in the Unit ed States thirty years and has adopted American customs. He wears his hair short, dresses neatly in the latest Amer ican styles and has a bearing of dignity and a face full of forceful character.

One of the worst tragedies of the sort happened some years ago, in Minnear oils. Two young men, who were rivals for the affections of a woman, met late in the night in the billiard room of hotel. Both had been drinking, but they acted pleas antly for n while, and, together with acquaintanees, played pool in seeming harmony. Suddenly words arose and fight started and the rivais elinehed and fell to the floor. When they were separated one was dy ing. A rough clasp knife, used in cleaning billiard cues, had been driven into his chest, severing the clay iele artery. The other young man who, undoubtedly, had seized the knife and struck the blow, could not recall the affair the next day His memory was blank. He could not remember any detail of the tragedy. Strive as hard as he could, it was impossible for him to recall any part of the occurrences of the bloody evening beyond certain point. One of the mysteries of alcohol is that man who is drink ing heavily may be in stimulated pos session of his senses, but, suddenly, he is no longer himself. One drink too much will do it. He may remain on his feet, and talk, and act, but it is his subconsciousness or subliminal nature that possesses him. : He is not the same person. He is possessed by his primary nature, and, when he awakes, his mem ory reaches only to the point of the transformation, and then a dense eur tain falls. Of what he said, or of what he did, he has not the slightest knowledge. Nevertheless he is responsible, for deliberately he drank the stuff that produced the transforma- ton. The young man in Min neapois was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for a crime that it will never be possible for him to remember. ' His primary nature, usually in suppression, reached out for the knife and stabbed the rival. He did it, but he could not remember, for it is impossible for the usual awake e-a- day nature to connect with the primary nature. They are strangers in the same body, the same brain and the same soul.

The crime at Boulder does not appear to have been a crime of the total blank, for the guilty men remember what they did. It was a crime of intensi- fication, in which their hatred for the strikebreakers, and the railway, was in. tensifed by liquor to degree of des- peration. And it is an old saying that the real character of man is not disclosed until he is drunk. All human beings disscmble; most of us live some kind of pre- tense; and, truly, the best that most of us do is the suppression of some part of our natures. Most men. who amount to anything, are result of suppression and elimination, done by themselves upon themselves. You think you know your friend. ' In truth, your friend, as you know him, is what he would have you think he is. The human crea- ture plays part. He selects, and she selects, the part appearing most good, and plays it with skill that the art of the stage can't copy. The great actor and the great actress are coarse beside the subtle work of the average human creature in the infinite art of dissembling. And the old saying is true that alcohol destroys the cheat. Inhamed by liquor, the fine gentleman becomes the brute that he is; the moral man be- comes the immoral thing he is primar- fly; the man who "bears good repu- tation" becomes a firebug and mur- derer. CT wish to be hung at once," walls the culprit of the Boulder trained and civilized nature. His crime was the work of his real nature.

UNCLE SAM WARM
 AFTER WILDCATS
If Lost Bullion Takers Are Convicted in Denver, Other Wildcat Promoters Will Be Proceeded Against by Fed eral Authorities in Colorado.

DENVER, Colo, August 16.--If the defendants in the Lost Bullion Spanish Mines company case are convicted the government building will be busy place between now and October. A conviction of all or a majority of the eleven defendants would be the greatest possible incentive to the government of ticers to use all possible vigor in push ing the big batch of mining fraud cases that the postoilee inspectors are now investigating. On the other hand, if the Lost Bullion defendants should be acquitted, a large number of new cases would probably be dropped.
 As was stated yesterday, there are about one hundred cases of alleged min ing frauds now being investigated by the postofliee inspectors. J. R. Harri- son, the inspector in charge of the dis triet, refused to give out any informa tion in regard to any oi these cases
 "Of course, we are looking these mat ters up," he admitted this morning. "but some of the cases may come to nothing. l can say nothing about the cases at this time
 Harvest of Fakes Possible
 District Attorney Earl NJ. Cranston is also retieent about the government s campaign against alleged mining frauds.
 ''I cannot discuss the subject at all, !" he said positively. "The only thing that l can say is that Judge Lewis has as yet expressed no opinion in regard to calling grand jury"
 In spite of the reticence of the gov ernment officials, there is no doubt that within the past year the postolice in spectors have been very active in prob ing alleged mining frauds. There has been regular campaign on the part of the government against the supposed fake mining schemes Unless all indi. cations are at fault, harvest from this work of the inspectors will be gath. cred at session of the federal grand jury in October.
