cute the Reading Road.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. l7.-For several
days there has been under consideration bv
The leading men ia the Knights Of Labor the
advisability OF bringing suit by the common
wealth, through the Encouragement, against
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and
Coal company, TO compel them to do certain
things which, 1t is alleged, they are obliged TO
10 under their charter. One charge is that
the company, BY refusing 10 settle with the
men, are concerning coal and other necessa-
ries for the purpose OF enhancing their value
aud extorting eXorbltant prices from the com
munity. Another charge relates 10 the re-
sponsibility Of the companies as common
carriers, it being alleged that, on account of
the companies actions, men are employed
who do not give the best of service, and whose
efforts result in delay and loss TO the commu-
nifty. There are other charges which have
been discussed, and it is said that some legal
proceedings will shortly be Instituted.

MISSOURI RIVER REPORT


WASHINGTON. Jan. l8.-Thc following Ia
Missouri river which refers to the improve
mcnt of the river between Sioux City and Fort
Benton:
The original condition Of the n~ayigakie
channclway OF the Missouri river above Car
roll, Montana territory, was extremely bad In
low water, the aveasGe depth being about
three feet. The channel Is quite sharp IN It's
turns and filed in many places with project
ing embedded rocks and loose powders. The
portion below Carroll was ard is bad in low
water, owing TO unstable banks, shifting chan
mel, moving sanGOars and snags. Tho origi-
nally adopted project for the Improvement
was the removal OF snags from the lower or
sandy portion and on the upper or rocky part
the narrowing OF the channel in wide places,
reducing the Slope and raising the water on
the rapids by the construction Of brush and
gravel dams, the removal of rocks and loose
powders and the dredging OF heavy gravel
bars, so as to give a n~avigable channclo of four
and one-hall feet at low water. On this pro-
icct there was expended up to June 30, 1856,
S202,4 400. At that time the channel for pur-
poses Of navigation vnd commerce was much
better than at any previous period, and yes
sells loaded 10 three and q half feet could
make their way 20 Fort Benton by careful
pilotage and hard rubbing on the bottom.
During the year ending June 80, 1887, there
has been expended, including outstanding
liabilities, $30,362 for the repair Of plant
which had been idle for over u year and con
scqucntly had rapidly deteriorated; for the
care and preservation OF property; foi sur
veys: for transporting men and material, etc.
One hundred thousand dollars can be profit
ably expended during the year ending June
80, 1889, with which 1t Is proposed TO clear out
snags from Sioux City, Iowa, to Carroll, Mon
tana territory, and above Carroll to continue
the dragging of gravel bars and the removal
of rocks and powders, and the construction
Of dams. The advantages and benefits TO be
derived are n safe, ~nayigablc channel at all
stages as far as snags are concerned, and a
fair low water channel for boats drawing four
feet over the rocky portion Of the river. The
estimated amount required for the entire and
permanent completion of the work Of improve
mcnt Of the portion Of the river above Car
roll, in accordance with the adopted project,
is s35o,Go0.

HIGH WORLDLY MARRIAGE
is not necessary for woman or marriage Of
any kind in order TO your happiness. Ccl-
ibacy has been honorcd by the best being
that ever lived and his great apostle.
Christ and Paul. What higher honor
could single life or earth have? But
what YOU need. O woman, is 10 be eff
anccd forever and forever, and tAe bans
Of that marriage | am this moment here
and now ready TO publish. Let the angels
Of heaven bend from their galleries Of
hight while ~prOnounccy you one-~a loving
God and "A forgiven soul. One Of the
most stirring passages in history with
which ] am acquainted tells rs how Cleo
patra, the eXiied queen Of Egypt, won
The sympathirs Of Julius Caesar, The con
quer0r, until he became the bridegroom
and she the bride. Driven from her
throne. she sailed away on the Mcditerra-
mean sea in a storm. and when the large
ship anchored she put II with one wo-
manly friend in "A small boat until she ar
rived at Alexandria, where was Caesar.
the great general. Knowing that she
would not be permitted to land or pass
the guards on the way TO CAESARS palace,
she laid upon the bottom OF the boat
some shawls and scarfs and richly dyed
upholstery, and then lay down upon them
and her friend wrapped her in them, and
she was admitted shore in this wrapping
Of goods, which was announced as "A
PRESENT o CESAR.
This bundle was permitted TO pass the
guards Of the gates of the palace and was
put down II the feet Of the Roman gen
cral. When the bundle was unrolled
there rose before Caesar one whose our
age and beauty and brilliancy are the as
constituents of the ages. This cXilcd
queen Of Egypt told the story of her sor-
rows. and he promised her that she should
&c! back her throne in Egypt and take
the throuc of wifely dominion in his own
heart. Aftcrward they made u |triumphal
tour in a barge that the picture of many
art galleries have called "Clcopatra's
Barge, and that barge was covered with
silkcn awning. and its deck was soft with
the spicery of tropical gardens and re-
sonant with The music that made the p'"ht

CLEOPATRA
and that the one to whom you may be
ailianccd had none Of the sins of Caesar,
the conqucror. But it suggests 10 me
how you, a soul exiled from happiness
and peace, may find your way 10 the feet
of the %OnQucT of earth and sky.
Though it may be a dark night of spirit
ual agitation in which you put out into
the harbor Of peace you may sail. and
when all the ~wrappings Of fear and doubt
and sin shall be removed yon will be
found at the feet Of Him who will put
you on n throne to be acknowledged as
His in the day when all the silver trump
cts of the sky shall proclaim: Behold
the bridegroom cometh, and in barge Of
light you sail with Him the river whose
source is the foot Of The throneand whose
mouth is at the sea of glass mingled with
fire.
