DIR. II. O. FLOWER,
The Eminent Boston Physician

Few men in America to-day are better
known than DR.. Il. G. Flower of Boston,
whose magnificent Health Palace, now
approaching completion in the Hub, bids
fair to be the most perfect health estab-
lishment in the world. DR.. Flowers fame
has steadily increased since the day he
entered the profession; his cures have
been as remarkable as his method of ex-
animation or diagnosing disease, which
is at once novel and marvellous. Instead
of asking the visitors TO describe their
symptoms according to the method of
ordinary physicians, DIR. Flower prefers
to know absolutely nothing about the
person desiring an examination. He
simply takes the strangers hand and
places it to his ear, which enables him TO
instantly detect and describe not only the
disease, but the precise condition of the
internal organism Of the sufferer far more
accurately than they could themselves,
Our readers will bepleased to learn that
this great physician will be at the Wind
sor Hotel, Trenton, N. j. Wednesday,
April 25; the Carrollton House, Balti-
more, Md, April 20; the Riggs House,
Washington, ID. G., April 81 where he
can be consulted with the same privileges
as though at his Office III Boston.

A GREAr pRoLECr.
The Commissioners Plan to Tunnel
Rock Crock.


Rock Creek.
The Commissioners have prepared
bill "for the improvement of Rock Creek
and for other purposes" which they pro-
pose to submit to Congress. IL provides
that the Commissioners be authorized to
construct tunnel to receive and convey
the waters of Rock Creek from q point
near Jyons's Mill, along and under
Twenty-ffth street, to the south line Of
o street west, and archways from the
southern end of such tunnel, along or
near the bed Of the creek to the southern
line of Pennsylvania avenue.
The plans are to be provided by board
of three officers of the Engineer Corps of
the army, to be designated by the Secre-
tary Of War.
The work may be done by contract OF
otherwise, as the Commissioners may
deem most advantageous.
Twenty-ffth street is TO be extended
northward to the left bank of the creek.
North Gay street Is to be extended to Gay
and Dumbarton streets.
The Commissioners are to secure by
condemnation the right of way for the
improvement. The Supreme Court of
the District will appoint q commission of
five free-holders to condemn the property.
lne Dill provides Tor an appropriation
of 5000, 1000 to carry on the provisions of
the act.
The District is to pay half the expense
of the Improvement, by yearly install.
ments, at per cent. interest.
In their letter TO Chairman Hemphill
of the House District Committee the Com
missionors say:
The benefits which will result from the
execution of this project are obvious
The existing bridges over Rock Creek,
connecting Washington and Georgetown,
do not furnish adequate communication
between the two cities. A heavy ex-
penditure will be required in the near
future to put them in proper condition
and to adapt them to the imperative re-
| quirements of transportation. The filling
in of the valley of Rock Creek will fur
nish complete communication and save
| the expense of reconstruction, repair and
maintenance of bridges for all future
time. II will further reclaim large
amount of territory now of little or no
| value, and render II subject to greatly
increased rate of taxation. Incidentally,
this improvement will furnish ample and
| greatly needed dumping ground for grad
ing in ncighboring parts of the District,
and 1t will enable The serious question OF
the sewerage pollution of the creek to be
| treated in a satisfactory manner

field, assistant secretary; Rev. William
Howard Day, compiler and reporter, and
Rev. Logan Johnson, marshal of the con-
ference The standing committees were
appointed yesterday, after which the con-
ference adjourned until 3 o'clock, when
Bishop Lomax called IL to order, Right
Rev. ]. j. Moore, s. Il. d., the presiding
introduced In the course of his remarks
he urged that they accept Mr.. p. f. Mat
thews OF New Jersey into their conference,
which was carried by q vote
At the evening session Bishop Moore
delivered an address in which he made
some unique expressions, among which
was the following: "Thcre is Christians
Christian who thinks he can call Provi-
dence on pair of kings, bucks agin a
heart flush every time"
This Mornings Session.
At o'clock this morning began the
second days session of the conference.
The Bishop conducted the devotional
exercises with the assistance of Rev. j.
Z. Thompson, and the first business of
the day was TO express q little ill-humor
on the morning newspaper which re-
ferred to alleged poxerish procivities in
the conference, by adopting q resolution,
which was introduced by the Rev. Mr..
Howard Day, and which provides fol-
quest the editor of the offending paper
tthe POST that no more false records of
the meeting be permitted.
Professor Day, g. Washington Ofiley

stouthearted colored men whose records
are not bad, were appointed to beard the
editor i'll his den.
While they were gone Rev. A. g. Hall
of Philadelphia was "hauled up for no
turning in to the conference the 80 cents
per capita which each minister is required
10 collect from his flock. The steward
of the conference, Rev. j. Z. Thompson
was very earnest in his endeavors to col
lect the ante, and the discussion, though
good humored, was noisy, and the motto
over hthe pulpit, 'rhe Lord is in His
Temple; Let All the Earth Keep Silence"
was entirely overlooked.
AT ~ o'clock the conference adjourned
for lunch until p. m, at which time the
order of business was the Bishop sannua
address.
Tonight the Rev. r. II. Phoenix will
preach. The attendance at the confer
ence is fattering, over sixty members be
