RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

Hon John II. Oberly spoke at the
opera house last night on the improve
ment Of the Mississippi river. Mr..
Oberly is now the resident secretary
III Washington of the executive com.
mitiee Of the Mississippi River In
proVement and Levee Association. In
this capacity be has been giving con-
siderable study to the subject. The
night was sweltering and people gen.
orally felt 1t a severe tax to come out
after the oppressive heat of the dsy.
But quite an audience was present and
they were all interested listeners. Mr..
Oberly is a strong advocate of the
plan OF Improvement favored by the
Mississippi River Commission. The
plan embraces the following points /;
First revet the river bank in all bends
where abrasion is going on; that is,
stop the cutting away of the river
bank and in this way stop the forma-
ton of sand bars. Second, confine the
river in shoal places within a narrow
channel by artificial banks and wing
dams and thus scrape out the bottom.
Build levees to confine the water with
IN the river banks in time of food.
These are the principal points advo-
Gated by the Mississippi Commission.
Below the mouth of Red river the
Mississippi is from 100 to 1SO feet
deep flowing on in a channel within
defined banks. Mr.. Oberly believes
that the river can be improved from
Cairo to Red river so as to give us a
good depth of water flowing in a well
defined channel all the way; that by
securing out the channel the bed OF
the river can be lowered and conse-
quently the flood line lowered aud
Cairo will be placed on hill. II is
certainly project worth trying, for it
cannot by any possibility be a failure
in every direction. The Bishop is a
little more obese than formerly, his
head is little more bald, but he is
the same John ii. Oberly. He cannot
throw of his identity.-Cairo Citizen.
MIR. Oberly is the resident secretary
Of the Interstate Lcveo and River In
provement Association. lie is jealous
in the cause-always ready and fully
capable of intelligently and forcibly
championiug its cause by speech or
writing.

Death or a Prominent Character.
TAge-Ilerald,l

Ottawa, Ont, June 6.-Sir John Nc
Donald became unconscious yesterday
and remained so until his death at
1880 p. m. tonight, surrounded by
his entire household. The church
bells are tolling and the premier's de-
mise is deeply regretted by the popu-
lace generally.
The funeral is likely TO take place
next Tuesday aud on that day the
body will be removed to the Senate
chamber and will lie in state for four
or five hours. The interment will sub
sequently take place at Kingston, Ont,
where the premier's first wife and his
father are buried.
In the passing away of Sir John
Macdonald the tory party of Canada
loses man whom it cannot replace.
For more than thirty years be has
been leading politician, and for more
than half that time the head of the
Canadian government. A man OF
great intellect aud wise statesmanship,
he has ever been loyal to the queen in
the sense that the queen is the British
government. The movement, If that
rather feeble spirit can be termed o
movement, for the annexation OF Can
ada to the United States has met with
his earnest and un1inching opposition,
and no effort in the direction of inde-
pendence, as a nation, on the OF Cana
da has ever been countenanced by him.
His faith has been that Canada was
greater as a British colony than 1t
could be as an independent nation, and
through oil this changeful vicissitudes
of political life he has been true to that
faith.
II might be said of Sir John Nc.
Donald that he was the Deaconsiield
of the colonies, for he possessed many
of the qualities for which Beaconsheld
was famous. lie was statesman as
well as politician, as we understand
the term politician. In England poll
ticlan and statesman are interchange
able terms. :,
Sir Johns death is fraught with in
ternational Importance. He leaves no
successor and there will be no man to
fight for Canada as we know Canada
We will hear more of annexation, more
of commercial union, more OF Cana
dian independence. Out OF these con,
ficting theories something definite VIII
ultimately come, but what that some
thing shall be cannot be foretold.

The author of the following gro
tesque extravaganza has probably
never further informed himself of the
Bartholomew slaughter-to which he
likens this only little more than
customary black "Republic" Incident
than to read the title:
Corpus Christi Thursday, May 2S,
was national holiday, and it was re-
ported that on that date Hyppolite, in
order to effectually tcrrify the popu-
lace, had ordered a gatling gun to be
taken down TO the prison and eighty
prisoners summarily executed. Friends
of the prisoners, among whom was
General Sully, met in council, aud
while the President was in the cathed-
raj they forced open the prison doors
and freed all the prisoners, about 250
in ALL Then, by order of the Prcsi-
dent, began series OF assassinations
perhaps unequaled in the annals Of
civilization, and TO which the massacre
of st. Bartholomew sinks into insig-
nilicance.

THE LoMeARDY POPLAR.

The Lombardy poplar (Populus
fastigiata) is desirable tree for
the landscape, more on accounted its
tall, peculiar, spiry habit of growth
rendering it conspicuous and
picturesque object, than on account
of its beauty. It is nowhere more
suitable than in the neighborhood
ola town or country village, where
it produces much the same effect
as architectural embellishments.
As the roots strike deep it can only
be planted with advantage where
the soil is deep and moderately dry
The roots readily decay when SUR
rounded with stagnant water, and
hence the trees are sometimes over
turned by a storm, not without
danger and occasional accidents.

week and decided to fight it out

knocking Eastland down several

Eastland got his second wind, and
laid out Pearce with a Highlander
on the jaw. In the fifth, after hard
work, Pearce was downed again,
and in the sixth tremendous left
and right-handers from Ea stand
finally knocked Pearce out.

THE KEY OF DEATH.

In the year 1900 a man named
Tebaldo established himself as
merchant of Venice. Soon becom-
ing infatuated with the daughter of
one of the most ancient and wealthy
families he asked her hand and
was rejected, the young lady being
already affianced. Half crazed
and thoroughly enraged, he planned
revenge. Being an excellent
mechanic he evolved most for
midable looking key. The handle
of this unique weapon could be
easily turned. Being turned it dis
closed spring with a missile in
the shape of a needle of exquisite
fineness. With this weapon Tebal-
do waited at the church door until
the maiden he loved passed in on
the morning Of her marriage. When
the bridegroom appeared the des-
perate lover, unperceived, sent the
slender poisoned needle into his
rivals breast, and within an hour
he was dead of "strange, battling
disease" Again Tebaldo demand .
ed the hand of the maiden, but was
refused. Within q few days both
her parents had died in q very
mysterious manner. Suspicion
being excited, examination was
made, and the small steel instru.
ments found in the flesh in both
cases. One day tho maiden allowed
Tebaldo an audience, but told him
that she would never be his bride.
Within an hour she was a corpse.
Tebaldo was suspected, the key dis.
covered and the culprit hanged.
The celebrated "key Of death" is
still shown to the curious visitor of
Venice Museum.

PROTECTING A CHINESE BABY.

The Washington D. G. police
have been summoned to pro-
tect the life of the Chinese
baby which was recently born to
the wife of the Chinese minister.
The ad. ent of such little stranger
is so rare in this country and is
attended with so much ceremony
in Chinese circles Of rank that
every man and child in the dis.
trict has been eager to catch
glimpse of the baby. For the first
month mother and baby were kept
in the strictest seclusion, according
to the customs of the Chinese.
This month was up last Monday,
and the baby was taken out in an
American baby carriage to be
trundled about Dupont circle.
Immediately crowd collected, and
as the word was passed along the
streets the crowd swelled to hun.
dreds.
The mob got so dense that it was
impossible to move the carriage
aud there was danger of swapping
and crushing the infant. Police
headquarters were notified and two
stalwart policemen were detailed as
an escort for the Chinese baby.
Tuesday the little one was en-
joying its ride about Dupont circle
with the two policemen stationed at
the sides Of the carriage keeping
the crowd at respectful distance.
The Chinese minister frequently
joins the party and adds to its
unique character. He is not indig.
nant at the scramble but regards
it as a high compliment to the
little one.
Only once before has q child
been born to the family of Chinese
nobility in this country. The first
child was named Mea, which sig.
mites beautiful American" aud
was the daughter of the minister
who proceeded the present one.
The new baby is a girl and the
name has been selected for her, but
it will not be announced until the
formal christening.
