olina and Virginia. It is to bo
composed of fourteen of tho largest
lumber companies in these
three States. It is to be capital
ized at about $25,000,000, and
the necessary money will be
forthcoming. What shall we ex
poet next to be controlled by a
trust ? Air and water? The list
of things not now controlled by
trusts is growing painfully small.
The annual report of tho commissioner
of internal revenue for
the fiscal year ending June 30th
of this year shows that the enor
moim sum of $295,310,107 was
collected from the people of the
United States during the year,
and yet Commissioner Wilson in
his report savs that "receints ,
I 1given
for deposits from banks c
other than savings banks should 1
be taxed.1' If this was done it a
would reduce the deposits in ,
banks other than savings banks, r
or it would necessitate the ex- t
ponse of a two cent stamp every r
time money is drawn from a e
bank, just as it now is with a
checks. Whether or not congress, |
which convenes next month, will
adopt Mr. Wilson's suggestion re- r

of the life j d work of

devout servant of God.
The riot at Georgetown a few
weeks ago is fresh in the memory
of all. The negro John Broom

has been found guilty of mur I

L'hoir Destruction Would bo a
Disgrace to Civilization.
urtl? in Clilcargo uncord.
It will be an everlasting disgrace
to civilization if the Ming
ombs are destroyed by the exledition
which Count von Waldirsee
is said to have sent north
rom Fekin for that purpose. It ?
will be as wicked and inexcusable
as if the British had destroyed
Mount Vernon in 1814, when
.hey captured Washington, or as
f the Germans had burued the
Hotel deB lnvalides and the
;orab of Napoleon when they
eaptured 1'aris. To a Chinaman
:ho burial place of the dead is
;he most sacred spot on earth
ind the Ming dynasty of emperors
wede the most famous and
popular in all the long list of 1
jovereigns. They were the last of 1
the pure Chinese. They call it
'the bright dynasty." Their
tombs are situated beyond the
;reat wall, about 90 milea from
L'ekin, ahd are not only the most
inly sanctuary in China, but are
the finest example of mediaeval
Chinese architecture and art in
existence,
In 1859 Lord Elgin and Gen.
Montaubond commanding the
lilies that captured Pekiu wantinly
destroyed Yuen-Ming-Yuen,
:he summer palace of the emperir,
distant 12 or 15 miles, in a
beautiful park known as the
'bright round garden." It wrr
lot a fortification, but a retreat
like Sans Souci, the country palice
of Frederick the Great. It
svas the most elaborate and costly
example of architecture in all
2hina and was filled with a collection
of articles which Lord
Elgin himself appraised at 1,000,)00
pounds. At the time of the
arrival of the allies tho summer
palace was occupied only bv the
lervants 01 the court. No defense
was made, no excuse existed, but
tho commanders of the army of
three Christian nations ordered
it burned and stood by to watch
the destruction. Is it any wonier
that the Chinese call us "foriign
devils ?"
The Ming tombs are equally
anions and equally beautiful.
They were built in the fourteenth
;entury by Emperor Yueng Lohn
vho was one of tho greatest of
he rulers of China. Thoy are
ituated in the midst of a broad
unphitheater, surrounded on
hroe sides by a range of moiinains
usually covered with snow.
L'he park, which is about three
niles in diameter, is covered with
proves of evergreen, arbor vitae
ind persimmon trees, in which a
iollection of fourteen pantheons,
lagodas, pavilions, altars, ternlies
and other edifices, mostly of
narble, exquisitety carved. The
ither buildings are of brick and
:overed with titles of the most
leautiful design. These buildings
i _ J I I - 1 r
irw uunneuieu ny oriageB 01 won
lerful workmanship and surrounled
by balustrades and colon?ades,
and from one direction
here is an avenue of statuary a
nile long, lined with life size fig
ires in brore and marble of men
ind animals, warriors, priests, elegants,
camels, lions, tigers and
lorses.
The Ming tombs have been
?eglected of late years and are
aid to be in a bad condition, but
t would be a crime to destroy
hem. Nothing could be gained
>y such vandalism, because the
?resent emperor and empress
owager are descended from the
fanchu warriors who overthrew ;
he Mingdynasty and drove them
rom the throne.
It is an interesting coincidence
hut Ping Ti?or the "Prince of
'eoce," as he is known in Chilinese
poetry?one of the most
ainousof the Ming emperors, wus
in the throne at the beginning of
he Christian era, when another
nau who bore the 6ame title w;
)orn in Bethlehem. Ming-Ti,
lis son and successor, introduced
buddhism into China and sent to
ndia for the sacred books and
eachers to expound them. Antiquarians
say that Ming Ti was
prompted to do this because of
eports that had reached him of
he advent of Christ. The news
was indefinite and came by carivans
across the whole of Asia.
When the emperor began his investigation
the clews led to India
nstead of to Palestine.
To reach the Ming tombs it is
lecessary to cross that most
wonderful piece of engineering,
he great wall, which runs from
ne seashore l,t>UU miles to the
lesert wastes of Turkestan. It
was built 205 years before Christ
Mid Btill remains in excellent
3ondition, 25 to 35 feet thick of
brick, riveted outside and in
with cut granite masonry. It is
iurraounted by a parapet pierced
with openings for the defenders
to tire through. The top of the
wall is paved with tiles a foot
square. Every 300 or 400 feet
there is a flanking turret 40 leet
higher than the wall and projecting
so that one can see in
both directions. In each turrot is
a circular stone stairway leading
from the ground. The pates are
imposing structures, surmounted
by cnstles which wore used as
barracks for the troops. The walls
climbs the rugged mountain side,
descends ravins and gorges and
rises again to cross rivers and
valleys and plains, but it did not
serve its purpose. It was intended
to keep the Mongol hordes out
of China, but they entered, overthrew
the Ming dvnasty and are
ruling the empire today.

Timely information given Mrs. Geo.
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, prevented
a dreadful tragedy and saved
two lives. A frightful cough had long
kept her awake every night. She had
tried many remedies and doctors but
steadily grew worse until urged to try
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
wholly cured h??r, and she writes this
marvelous medicine also cured Mr,
Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia.
Such cures are positive proof of the
matchless merit of this grand remedy
for curing all throat, chest and lung
troubles. Only 50c and $1.00. Every
