a STRONG CANAL ARGUMENT.
Mr. Frankland Says Inland Navigation Is
Increasing Rapidly

Mr.. Frankland Says Inland Navigation Is
Increasing Rapidly.
Benjamin Frankland, General Superin-
tendent of the Western Seamen's Friend
Association, registered at the Home Hotel
yesterday. Mr.. Frankland is also the head
of the orthodox Quakers in the United
States He was on his way to Cincinnati,
and left for that city last evening.
Mr.. Frankland saws the people are
verv much mistaken who think that inland
navigation on the rivers and lakes is on the
decline. On the contrary, the business is
growing and the number of men employed
is increasing yearly. The tonnage moved
is enormous and would surprise the croak-
ers who imagine canals and other water
ways are relics of an ancient age. More
vessels pass through the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal annually than float the billows in the
SueZ to the Mediterranean, and more vessels
enter at Chicago yearly than at Liverpool
As for the Quakers Mr.. Frankland says
the denomination is breaking up in the
East, but they are building churches in the
West. Many of them join the Methodist
Church, and strange to say large number
have gone over to the Episcopal faith. Mr..
Frankland is on tour of inspection of the
Seamen's homes in the West. The associa-
tion has established a number of bethels
throughout the country. They control the
Home Hotel, and are doing good work.

Sec Davis, of St. David's Society, Kindly Re-
membered Last Evening.
The regular meeting Of ST. Davld's So
ciety was held at their rooms, SO Fourth
avenue. last night and an innovation from
the regular order of business was sprung on
the Secretary. Robert II. Davis. MI. Davis
has been the Secretary of the society Tor
many years, and has always refused to ac-
cept any remuneration for his valuable sery-
ices. As a token of their appreciation the
members of the society last night surprised
him by the. presentation of handsome oak
writing desk and gold pen and other
necessary desk Punishment.
Assistant Postmaster Al Edwards, IN his
happ;est vein, took the initiative in its be-
stowal Mr. Davis was not so much over
come that he could not respond, and, al
though he accepted the gift in the spirit in
which it was given, took hand in the sur
prise himself by telling the society just
what he thought of them for their extrava-
gance After this little episode the even
ing was spent in social conversation and In

All That Is Needed.

In our physical needs we want the best
of anything required, and we want all that
is required to be done, to be done promptly
and surely, and those in pain, especially,
will find all that is needed in what is herein
recommended. Mr.. T. j. Murphy, 6l Deb
evoice place, Brooklyn, n. Y, says: "Hav-
ing been afflicted with sciatic rheumatism
for some time past and finding no relief, 1
tried ST. Jacobs Oil, which 1 found very
efficacious Miss Clara Alcott, Mahwah,
n. j., writes: 81 bruised my limb and it
became greatly swollen and stiff. 1 used
two bottles of a patent liniment which did
not relieve me. A physician was called
who ordered the limb to be poulticed, and
he gave me medicine internally, without
benefit. L then got bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil, which cured me- 1t acted like magic. -

Prices of Patent Medicines Not Maintained

George A. Kelly went to New York last
evening to attend conference committee
of the National Wholesale Druggists As
sociation to see if something couldn't be
done to maintain the prices of patent medi-
cines Three representatives. from the pro-
prietors, wholesalers and retailers, are on
the committee. They should have met
some time ago, but several of the gentle
men were absent. Mr.. Kelly says it is a
difficult subject to handle. Patent medicines
have been cut until there is little profit in
the business. Through middlemen the
medicines often get into the hands of larger
proprietors, who advertise to give away
bottle of medicine for few dollars worth
of goods purchased. In this and other
ways the druggists have lost their grip on
the trade. An attempt will be made to
form an agreement by which patent medi-
cines will only be sold to bona fde people
who Will at least endeavor to maintain the
prices put on the bottles.

ATTORNEY MosEIAND is cosf1DRSr
He Feels Sure the Curative Legislation VIII
Be Sustained.


Be Sustained.
City Attorney Moreland returned from
Philadelphia yesterday. Hehad been look
ing after the filing of appeals to the Supreme
Court on the curative cases decided in the
lower court Saturday. Tomorrow evening
be viii return to Philadelphia in company
with D. T. Watson, Harvey White, T. d.
Carnahan, Controller Morrow, Johns Nc
Cleave, Joseph NJ. Swearingen and c. A.
O'Brien to argue the cases the following
day before the Supreme bench. The three
last mentioned attorneys will represent the
property holders who are opposing the new
laws, Controller Morrow go as an inter.
ested spectator, while Harvey White will
represent Booth & Finn, who are made de-
PENDANTS in two of the suits.
The city attorney was highly pleased with
the reception accorded him by the Supreme
Court, and he intimated that he expected
declsion from the Judges early next week.
81 have no doubt hat their decision will
be, >" he said. 81 am almost positive that
the decision will be in favor of the city on
every point raised in these suits. Then
Pittsburg will have what she has not had
since 1868, a law by which she can proceed
with perfect safety in making Improvements.
By the law of 1864 the right was conferred to
make improvements on petition to Coun-
ellis from majority in interest. Then in
1868, law was passed taking the East End
into the city, and this law took the place of
the other, but it had proviso that it did
not apply to the Eastern district then
made part of the city. That was a
serious blow to the East End Its growth
and development were practically set back
for 19 years. People out there begged for
sewers, paved streets and other improve
ments, but there was no law by which they
could be made by the city. The city finally
grew so that the development of the eastern
part of it became a necessity, and the pres
sure was so strong that the act of 1887 was
decided upon. 1t was drawn up by able at
torneys and was generally considered in
vulnerable. All efforts to have it tested by
the Supreme Court failed, simply because
the people were so anxious for improve
ments that they refused to throw any OBJ
stacles in their way. In the three years
from the passage of that law until the Su-
preme Court decision last year the city
grew and developed more than she had
done in so wears before.
