CHICAGO RIVER TOO SMALL
Doesn't Carry Enough Water to Sup
ply the Canal.

Chicago, July 29.-Drainage Trustee
Braden advanced an engineering rea-
son yesterday why the drainage board
should enlarge the Chicago river to
much greater degree than its present
plans contemplated which he was sus-
tanned by Chief Engineer Randolph of
the board and Major Marshall, in
charge of the general governments
work at this point.
That reason, briefly stated, is that
while under the present plans the ca
pacity of the river will be only 900
cubic feet of water a minute, the canal
into which it will flow will be able to
accommodate 800, GOO cubic feet. ConSe-
Quent1y, unless the water is forced
through the river at a rate of speed
which would be dangerous to naviga-
ton there will be practically no current
in the larger canal, and, in the words
of Major Marshall, that body of water
will be "a placid lake.
There is no doubt" said Trustee
Braden, and President Kelly of the
drainage trustees, who was present at
the interview, agreed with him, that
we will have to furnish more water to
the canal than can flow through the
river. The only question for us to de-
eide is whether we shall get it by
widening and deepening the river or
by digging cutoff by way of the Cal
ument. That we have not gone into

paper in which these severe methods
were advocated, the city council took
the matter up and devoted a good deal
of time to it one night. The city mar
shall and the city attorney, with the
committee of public health, were order
ed to adopt the most vigorous means at
their command to rid the city effectual-
Iy of the pest. The marshal and depu-
ty sheriffs made daily morning and ev-
ening visits about places frequented by
the buns and ordered them to get
out of town or they would be placed in

a PUGILIsrIC TRUST.
Three Principal Prize Fight Clubs on
the Pacific Coast Practically
Unite,

San Francisco, July 29.-The man
ayers of the three principal prize fight
clubs are trying to agree upon scheme
which, if carried out, will practically
give them a monopoly of the business
in this city. The idea is to convince
the supervisors that only a limited
number of permits for fights should be
issued every month and that they, as
the established clubs, should have the
permits.
If this can be done, only two fights
every month or three fights in two
months will be pulled off, and the Ma
tional, the Empire and the Columbia
clubs will alternate with events. If
this pugilistic trust be formed there will
no longer be any rivalry in bidding for
fighters, and large purses and percent
ages will no longer be given. At pres
ent the fighters are getting most of the
money.

Sheldon and Bronson the Winn ers
Last Eve ming

In the progressive tennis tournament
in singles being held at the Topeka
Tennis club grounds at Tenth and Fill
more streets this week, some fine play
ing has been seen.
Last evening Frank Sheldon and
Howard Lawrence. had a fine contest
for best two out of three sets. By hard
work Sheldon won from Lawrence, the
playing being swift and close.
Shelden's scores were, 6-3, 4-6, IS.
Jake Moh1er defeated Harry Noble,
6-3, Ga. Lew Bronson defeated Will
liam NJ. Lyon, GO, 60.
Dana McVicar and George c. Stolxer
were matched for a tournament game
last evening but McVicar was unable to
be present. Under strict rules this
would mean a defeat to StoI1er. The
game will probably be played this even
ing. The winner will then have to
play Frank Sheldon. This evening
Lew Bronson and Jake Mohler will play
a tournament game.The winner of this
game will then play the winner of the
other set.

plying its want does. Ignorance of
this fact, or forgetfulness of it, is at
the bottom Of nine-tenths all that is
so foolishly said about markets, and
supply and demand. Within the past
twenty years the labor saving ma
chinery f the world has increases the
possibility of production ten-fold, while
the population of the world has not
increased twenty per cent in that time.

Prsctical Talk For Busy People Who Wait
Upon Themselves.

Practical Talk For Busy People Who watt
Upon Themselves.
It is fact which the coming season
will bring home to all Of us more or
less, and especially now that all kinds
Of outdoor sport claim numberless fem
mime devotees, that constant exposure
to sun, wind and varied temperature
will have disagreeable effect upon the
skin The busy people-and who is not
busy nowsdays3-will grasp any sug-
gestions for ameliorating this state Of
the skin that are brief and practical.
The following from Good Housekeeping
have the ring Of actual experience in
them:
The best protection Is q thorough
cleansing of the skin with soap and
warm water every night at bedtime.
Wash the face as little as possible
through the day, and never go out in
the wini Immediately after washing.
II one expects to be ont in the wind all
day, liberal application Of the finest
baby powder win do much TO prevent
burning and cbappiDg
Only the best quality Of soap should
be used ON the face, and have found it
better il prepared at boma The follow
ing formula gives delicate soap which
has wonderful cleansing and whitening
properties, and it improves with age and
well repays the trouble Of making:
Take q pound of fine white CASTLE soap,
cut in very fine sbavings and put in q
tin pail with just enough bot water to
cover it. Set ON the stove and simmer
gently till the soap is dissolved, then
stir in 4 ounces of sweet almond oil, 4
ounces of powdered borax, an ounce of
tincture of benzoin and the juice of a
large lemon. Beat the mixture well
and as it ccols take up spoonfuls, dip
them in fine oatmeal and shape into
cakes with the hands. This is an ideal
soap for all toilet purposes
All oily lotions for the face should
be avoided, as they encourage the
growth of dowhy hairs and make the
skin shiny. For chaps and sunburn
there is nothing better than table
spoonful of oatmeal simmeIed in cup
full of water. Strain and add an equal
quantity of lemon juice. This is very
healing and at the same time softens
and whitens the skin. There is no beau
tifier like cleanliness, and all che
creams and balms in the wcrld will not
conceal the effects Of dirt.

Europe has shaken him out of his

to outlaw him and he is coming to this
country. 1t Is time that a double
watch was set at every port of entry.

1t is amusing to hear the few free
trade journals that are left. in the

the tariff has shut them out. The
fact is if there was no tariff there
would be no manufacturing at all in
this country and the home as well as
the foreign market would both be shut

IN BEHALF OF CUBA.

The. attempt of the American gov
eminent to sound Europe, in order 10
see what measures Of interference in
behalf of Cuba would be accepted by
the great powers, will elicit nothing.
Europe is not going to commit herself
in advance to an policy in that direc-
ton. If the United States attempts
Intervention in the affairs of Cuba
she will do so of her own motion and
will have to run her risks of what Eu-
rope will do in the premises. When this
government uncovers its hand it may
be that the governments of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Russia will
have something to say before any ac-
tual demonstrations in force are made
by the United States. The present
incident in Europe is Of significance in
showing the spirit of the government
at Washington, and that the admins.
tration of the United States is serious
ly meditating movement for the re-
lief of the people Of Cuba, to prevent
if possible their virtual extermina
ton. 1t shows the determination of
President Mckinley to attempt IL
good faith the carrying out of every
pledge in the platform of the party.
upon which he accepted nomination
and went into Office. That a change
will come in the attitude of this coun-
try to Cuba this winter, on the assem-
bling of Congress, has been the asser
ton of the Light ever since the 18th
of March There is growing ten
dency of the nation to accept the con-
sequences and intervene for the relief
of Cuba, not so much from any politi-
cal advantage that may eventually be
derived, but because every dictate Of
humanity and every consideration of
civilization demands it. The pres
sure that has been brought upon the
administration at Washington, and
upon Congress to force an intervention
has been unprecedented. 1t has been
resisted, the claim being set up that
the time was not opportune. A dispo-
sition to wait and see what Spain
could accomplish has been apparent,
and now that there is no likelihood of
Spain ever recovering her ground the
Intervention will be certain to come.
As to the form it will assume that will
depend largely upon circumstances.
The wisdom of the government at
Washington and the two houses of
national legislation. can be safely en-
trusted TO employ such measures as
will be least likely to expose this coun-
try to the adverse critisism of the
governments of Europe. Some such
criticism will come, that is inevitable.
but there is a possibility of accom-
pllshing the redemption of Cuba with
out going to war with Spain, and the
redemption will come that way.
There is wisdom and a strong sense OF
right underlying the whole action and
mind of the government in this matter
and it will finally solve the problem
wisely.
