CHiCAGo,S GREAT DITCH.
The Canal viii Admit Any Vessel
That Sails on the Great Lakes.

From the Review of Reviews.
The city of Chicago is so remarkable
in every way that We have ceased to
view with surprise any undertaking
which it may assume. After it's White
Wonder risen like a dream from out
of a bleak morass; after its thirty
story sky scrapers floating on the un-
stable foundations of a bog, we can
in no wise marvel that it should build
a drainage sewer to carry a volume of
water as large as the Ohio river, and
costing $50 100000.
But the import of the Chicago Drain
age Canal has been obscured by Its
name. Few, besides engineers, realize
that its unique contrivances, it's mon-
ster machines and novel methods OF
construction, were to show this nation
how 1t might be possible 10 build a
canal which would carry a boat from
New York. at the mouth OF the Hud-
son, 1000 miles inland, to the base OF
the Rocky mountains.

carrier promises to become as rela'

Mr.. JONES' LATEST POEM.
Written at His Home in Stroudsburg
Where He Is Rending Law.

The poem printed herewith is the
latest efforG of J. Twyson Jones, of
Evanshurg. Mr.. jones Is brother of
the Rev. r. Shirhowy Jones, of Evans
burg, who won The Tribune prize poem
a few years ago.
j. Twyson Jones will be remembered
by many persons up and down the
valley, as he was pastor of the Baptist
church at Jermyn for several years, but
left the ministry to enter the legal pro-
fession. He is now engaged in reading
law at his home in Evansburg. He
occupies a high position in Welsh lit
erary circles and his poems are among
those classed highest in the Welsh
tongue. His latest effort is as follows:
a man of faith is happier far
Than he who lives in doubt,
For faith is like the morning star.
Whose light goes never out;
1t cheers him in the darkest night,
And smiles upon his way,
1t keeps his disposition right
And heralds in the day.
A man of faith Is stronger much
Than one of unbelief;
The spring Of action feels its touch
However deep the grief;
Doubt paralyZes every nerve,
and makes ones spirit pine
But faith from duty will not swerve,
To act is its design.
a man of faith is happier far
For he has found a rest.
And nothing can disturb or mar
The music in his breast;
But he who doubts but diScOrds hears,
Which crate upon his soul,
And narrowed is by dismal fears.
Which nothing can control.
Blndfolded are the eyes of doubt,
Uncertain H. its tread.
And as each day it gads about
'Tis with a trembling dread:
But faith both sees and walks along
The paths our fathers trod,
And this is why its step is strong
1t Grasps the hand of God

the hospital, thus far they have not
been received at the hospital. However,
1t is well known that a generous re-
sponse was made at several churches,
and in a short time everything will be
turned over to the management. Miss
Smith, the superintendent, was espe-
cially gratifed by the thoughtfulness
of the donors, whose gifts are already
at the hospital. The teachers and
pupils of the public school, of which
Miss Josie Lees is principal, sent a
large supply of delicacies and staples
in the food line. The Sherman Avenue
mission members, through their sup
erintendent, Miss Della p. Evans, made
a similar donation. Several individuals
who withhold their names, also sent
articles which are always acceptable
in an institution of this kind.

depth of 26 feet and a surface width
of 300 feet it will admit any vessel

here that Chicago has exhibited a long
foresight. The Federal government
has now practically completed the
work of opening a 2O-foot channel from
the further end of Superior and Of
Michigan to Buffalo; but there are as
yet no harbors on the lakes of similar
draft. 1t is Just this that the drain
age canal will provide for Chicago, with
an inevitable stimulus to its lake car
rying trade.

According to theosophy. said Dr. a.

by desire il was able to accomplish
visible results although no apparent
action had been taken. The desires Of
men were constantly affecting their
outward circumstances, and even IT,,
as in the case of "A man wishing for
wealth. no immediate result is seen,
the ultimate effect would he that in
another earth life he would he born
amid wealthy surroundings. 1t always
happened, however, that when the CO.
veted boon was obtained some Enwel-
come and unlooked-for circumstance
accompanied it. and so the wise man
avoids definite wishes about his future,
recognizing his ignorance of what is
really best for him, and patiently ac-
cepting the destiny moted out to him
by the Just law.

CAVE ON ACADEMY STREET
Is Causing Much Uneasiness 10 Property
Owners on That Street, Near
Hyde Park Avenue.

A caye-in on Academy street, mid
way between South Hyde Park avenue
and Mullen street occurred early yes
terday morning. 1t threatens the sew
er main and is causing corsideraple
uneasiness among the residents OF the
vicinity. At present nothing beyond
the roadway, a small section Of side
walk and the peoples peace of MIND
are disturbed.
The main caving lies directly in front
of Select Councilman Richard n. Will
liams' home at 1906 Academy street. 1t
runs from the gutter out beyond the
street center and is somewhat the
shane of an eDaulctte. The deepest
mart about 2 feet lies at the lobe and
nearest the gutter About so feet fur
ther along a hole, or rather series OF
converting cracks appear just beneath
the sidewalk and two flags have drop
ned down in a V-shapel manner. This
spot is just at the gateway of the
dwelling occupied by Henry Is insley,
at 1912 Academy street.
Here and there within a radius of 500
feet small cracks are apparent. A
Tribune reporter called upon Mr.. Will
liams. who is outside foreman of the
Continental mines. to ascertain the
cause of the cave. Mr.. Williams
thought it was from the workings of
the old Central mines. He further
stated that no signs of the disturb
ance was apparent in any of the cell
lars or dwellings near the spot.
This same locality was similarly af-
fected about or 10 years ago So
much 50. that it was thought at the
time that the old No. IA school which
stood at the rear Of the present lot
and was built of brick, would have t.
he torn down to prevent a collapse,
The present cave-in may not increase
in area or even affect the sewer main
but the heavy rains Of a few days back
and the present bad weather lends an
uncertain aspect to the trouble.
