four-story building on Diamond street,
near Wood street, and in the rear of

on Wood street, Pittsburgh Pa., fell with
a crash that was heard for many squares.
The force of the falling building was so
great that the rear walls of the two othei
buildings mentioned were crushed as if
they were made of paper, and their front
walls fell upon the pavement on Wood

Alcohol a Foe to Health.
Tho i ri!s of intemperance, in its grosser
forms, are too self-evident to have ever been
altogether ijrnoiod, but not before the begin
ning of the present century alcohol, the alleged
Mei-sincs of -mankind, 'the best pift of iho
the tfood familiar creature," the
"milk of old ago" and tho "water ot lire,"
has at least Ucn unmasked as a ruinous
and unqualified foe to he lith aud happiness.
No axiom in science is at present more in
controvi rtibly established than tho fact that
alcohol contains no nutritive elements what
ever. "There is no more evidence," says Dr.
l'arke.-, ' of alcohol being in any way util
ised in the body than there is in regard to
Pth.-r .r eh'orofcrm. If alcohol is to be stid

Senator Jones, of Arkansas," moved to

Discussion was continued at much
length by Senators Sherman, Allison,
George, Coke, Platte, Butler, Jones,
Aldrich, Hiscock and Vance.
Senator Sherman remarked that if a
duty were put on ramie and jute it could
all be produced in the outh.
Senator Vance made a humorous speecn
in reply, thauking Senator Sherman for
his advice, but said the point oi tnai
.-eaator's observation lay iu the applica
tion of it. The meaning of it was to
keep the South quiet under a system of
taxation by which the pockets of the
Northern manulactuiers werehlled. lie
therefore asked the question: What in
that case would become of Northern
manufacturers? That remiaded him of
the case of a fellow who in a burst of
patriotism, volunteered duiiDg the war,
and who, when his wife said, "John,
suppose you get killed, what will bc

Senator Jones' amendment was re
