to the Canadian Side.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Feb. 14.-For
the first time in half a century the
American falls practically ran dry yes
terday. BY the formation of an ice
bridge or dam, extending from Schlos-
ser's dock on the American bank, about
half way across the river. the water was
almost en- tirely diverted to the Canadian
falls. Yesterday morning it was possible
for time for man with a plank to have
walked from the mainland to Goat
island without wetting his feet, and,
indeed, to walk between all the islands
inside of Goat island. A. II o'clock
the water was SO low that man in
knee boots could have walked across
the brink of the falls from Prospect
point to Goat island.

SUNDAY TRAFFIC
Discussed by the White Ribbon
Women at st. Louis.
International Co operation in Rail
way Work Essential.

ST.. Louis, Nov. IA AT the w. c.
II. u. convention this morning Mrs
Caroline NJ. Wood, of Nebraska, SUI
perintendent of the work among rail-
road men, reported that Sunday
traffic was regarded by the depart
ment as a serious infringement upon
the rights of employees. Local freight
and passenger trains had been gen.
orally discontinued on SUNDAY, but
extra" stock trains were now sent
out. An effort was making 10 reach
conscientious christian men in the
stock-raising regions and induce
them to refrain from loading
stock or having it in transit on Sun
day.
Patronage of Sunday mail and pas
senger trains had been uniformly de-
precated, and each year deepened the
conviction "that the ministry and
membership of the Christian church
were responsible for many OF the bur-
dens imposed upon the worlds rest
day." international cooperation in
railway work was essential to further
development.
