DUTIES OF THE DEAN
Discussed mt the st. Paul Convention
of the Episcopal Church.


of the Episcopal Church.
When the report of the conference
committee was presented at the regu-
lar midwinter meeting Of the st. Paul
Convocation of the Episcopal church,
held In the guild room Of Christ church
yesterday, a warm discussion among
the divines present followed. The re-
port deals with the proposed Canon
XXII., otherwise called the Canon of
Convocations, and fixes the duties Of
dean to be as follows:
To preside over all meetings of the convoca-
tion; to arrange for meetings of all mission
stations; to recommend the amount of mis-
sionary assessments to be levied on missions
and to receive all reports of missionary work.
Rev c.. Holmes, of Ascension church,
criticised the proposed canon. He said
an office without duties had been Gre
ated. He believed in the superintend-
ence Of God over the ministry. He did
not believe that any power of the
church could place authority in the
hands Of rector to superintend the
missionary work Of another rector, as
this canon provided. He would most
assuredly object to such superintend-
ence over the work of his parish. 1--WE
are seeking to give the dean power,
when he should be a man Of influence
influence Is the motive power of the
church, not power

Park, thought that the position of the

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Fifty of the Eighty Pages of the
Document Disposed of.


Document Disposed of.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The house entered
upon the consideration of the river and har-
Dor bill today, and made rapid progress. Fifty
of the eighty eight pages of the bill had been
completed when the house adjourned. The
bill approprates directly about $12, eco. and
authorizes contracts to the extent of SIS, 000, 900
additional. The general debate was unusually
brief Its feature was speech in opposition
to the bill by Mr.. Hepburn, OF Iowa, who
has fought every river and harbor@ bill Tor the
last six years. He said he knew his oppo-
sition would avail nothing, as the votes for
its passage had been arranged for by the ap
propriations in the bill. He attacked particu-
larly Mississippi river Improvement, which
was ably defended by Mr.. Catchings, Of
Mississippi.
Practically the only amendment adopted
today was one striking out an appropriation
of $2500G0 for channel from Galveston to
Texas City, Tex, which was opposed by Mr.
Hawley, of Texas. because the war depart
ment had made no report upon the feasibility
of the project.
When the general debate closed the bill was
read for amendment under the five minute
rule.
Mr.. Tongue (Rep. Orr, speaking to pro-
forma amendment, protested against the re-
peal of provision for Yakima bay, where
he said, contracts for the Improvement had
already been made.
Mr. Cummings (Dem. N W made brief
speech in favor of the Improvement of New
York harbor.
Mr.. Hepburn again attacked the Galveston
and Buffalo bayou ship channel.
Mr.. Burton offered an amendment to the
paragraph appropriatfng s250,000 for the chan
mel from Galveston to Texas City, Tex,
which provided that nothing should be done
under this paragraph until favorable RS
port had been received from the echief engi-
neers as to the feasibility of the project and
its maintenance at reasonable cost.
Mr.. Hawley (Rep. Tex), offered a sub
stitute for the paragraph a provision for a
survey and estimate of the cost of the pre-:
posed project. He complained that he had
been ignored in the preparation of the bill.
In view of Mr.. Hawleys statement, Mr.. Bur-
ton moved to strike out the whole para
graph, saying as he did SO that the opposition
to this project might arise from friendship
for Galveston and the Brazos river project.
The latter motion prevailed. and the whole
paragraph went out Of the bill.

High Commission.

joint commission held its usual brief morn
Ing session today, and was followed by the
subcommittee on the Alaskan boundary, which
held long meeting and examined several

one of his assistants appeared for the Cana
dian side, while the Americans called in Prof
Pritchard, chief of the coast and geodetic sur

years in work along the Alaskan boundary,
and in the neighborhood of Mt. St. Elias All
Of the survey men had formidable rolls of
maps and charts, with large stacks of note
books, in which the results of their field work
had been embodied

one where the evidence is of such tangible
character that 1t is thought there will be lit

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in The World, Ex-
cept a Surgical Operation, That
VIII Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.

The study Of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists; the loudly adver-
t1sed pretentions Of quacks, have been
for years expended IN one direction
to find a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number Of
harmless. and in most cases useless
ointments. suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance Of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
Ing radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one that I'M
medfately stops the pain so severe in
most cases Of piles. and then by con-
tracing the small blood vessels (capil-
laries0 to their normal size, produces
a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and, healing the
unnamed, raw mucous surfaces
Until two years ago. no such remedy
had been produced. but. at that time a
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven itself to
be the long sought permanent cure for
this common and distressing trouble;
it has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
Is now sold by nearly all druggists un-
der the name Of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
It Is now the best known because its
merit and safety have advertised 1t
wherever used. It has been advertised
by word Of mouth. from one sufferer to
another; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitted to painful
and dangerous surgical operations
without avail. finally have found that
piles may be cured without pain and
without expense, practically, as the
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the nom
inAl price of fifty cents and $10O per
package.
The Pyramid Instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contain no CO.
caine morphine or narcotics; the acids
and healing properties contained In the
remedy speedily remove. cause

sorption Of tumors: 1t will cure any
