The rivers and harbers convention
which met in Baltimore last week drew
together one OF the largest gatherings
of prominent and leading men Of all sec
tions that ever assembled Nor any pur-
pose, and what was accomplished at
this convention is sure to bear good
fruit. Congressman Ransdell took a
leading part in the convention.
The dispatches sent from Baltimore
said that sHon. j. E. Ransdell. con-
gressman from the fifth Louisiana dis
trict. was then invited TO address the
congress. He made an excellent i'm
promptu address and created much en-
thnsiasm.
Congressman Ransdell, referring to
the Mississippi river. said:
That great waterways bears to
Louisiana the soil from twenty-four
states. and of that soil a large part OF
our state is made up. We feel, there
fore. that we belong peculiarly to the
nation. We feel. BECAUSE Of our great
leyee systom, which is necessary TO
hold the floods from these twenty -four
states, that we are especially the wards
of the nation. The principle of river
and harbor Improvement by the gov
eminent is settled, and no man, be he
Democrat. Republican or Populist'
can resist the popular demand II 1t Is
properly asserted What we need &c
get the best results is the creation OF q
strong. healthy pubic opinion. take
for granted that is what We are here
for.
This m ovement will not die wher
this convention adjourus this evening
but will last for many years. 1 be
Ieve this is the first time we have eve
had the people from all sections o
the country in a national rivers an,
harbors congress.
esshouid have o permanent asso
citation. There is certainly no conti'c
between the railroads and the waite
transportation interests, and see ~
reason why they should not JON hand
and present a front in congress whlcl
will be absolutely irresistible.'
s"Mr. Ransdell laid much stress o.
the enormous strides this country ha
made in controlling the trade OF tn
world, as shown by the enormous trad
balance which existed in oar favor
The only fear he had was that This phe
nominal prosperity might not las
hence oecessity for improving To th
utmost extent our ports aud water
ways as means of retaining our cen
troll of the worlds trade. He had n
fear of congress, as that body wa
ruled by the wishes of the constitueu
cies, hence what was needed was I
create healthy public opinion. y
force was more powerful! with congres
than the united strength of the CON
mercial bodies of the country.

duced an excellent impression, an

GETS OLD TRINKET.
An ornament Used by the First King
OF Egypt on Its Way 20 Chi
cago Museum.

A gold bar trinket, possibly a nail
file used by Memnon. the first king of
Egypt. thousands of years ago. is on
its way to Chicago to take its place
in Haskell museum at the University
Of Chicago. This announcement was
made by DR.. James Henry Breasted.
The trinket bears the name Of Mem
non. It is of pure gold. Memnon was
thought to be purely fictitious char
acter until his tomb was discovered a
few years ago by an English Egyptolo-
gist, w. M. Flinders-Petrie. The jew
elry found in the tomb of this first
Egyptian king is Of very interesting
design and careful workmanship. 1t is
made for the most part of gold, tur.
quoise and amethyst. Nearly all had
been carried away by grave plunderers
hundreds of years before the English
man discovered the tomb.
But the arm of princess which had
been wrenched away by some ghoul
was left behind. On this mummified
arm some intricately worked armlets
were found. Pictures of these jewels
5000 years old have just been shown
for the first time in America.

NEW BANNER FOR KING.
Made by Royal school Of Needlework
for His Pew in 81. Georges
Chapel, windsor.

The new banner of the Order Of the
Garter made for the king has just
been completed at the Royal school of
needlework, where 1t employed 12
ladies for about two months. 1t is
worked on a background of rich velvet,
being twice worked to make both sides
alike, and is about 2,a yards square.
~ 1t is, of course, worked with strict
heraldic accuracy, the first and fourth
quarters bearing three lions passant
gardant in pale-in pale signifying ver-
tically over each other--in raised, EN-.
bellished and embroidered cloth of
gold, on velvet ground of rich Grim
son and gules of heraldic phrase.
The banner of the order always
hangs over the pew Of the reigning
sovereign of Britain in st. Georges
chapel, Windsor. Thus this one will
replace that of the late queen, which
has been in position for 62 years, and
may not be removed, according to ira
dition, until the succeeding one is
hung, so that there may be no interval
when the banner of the order 10 not
suspended in its place.

MOVE BY FRENCH WOMEN.
Progressive sunragists Intend to
Eliminate the Title Of
"Mad e ensOiselle."

The women suffragists of Paris in
tend to wipe out the nominal distinc-
ton between married and unmarried
women. They propose to abolish the
term "mademoiselle" and to apply
madame" to oil women alike. even
to infants of the female sex. just as
monsieur" IL now used In addressing
baby boys. .f'g
The Suffrage society has issued n
procla ma tion to this effect ca ling upon
all true believers to eschew the use
of the diminutive title and to use only
madame" when speaking of or to per-
sons of the feminine gender.
Nine. Auclert, president of the So
ciety: calls attention to the habit of
Mile. Clemence Royer, Darwin's trans
lator, of refusing to open all letters
addressed with the diminutive prefix
to her name. Unmarried and married
men. she says, are alike called mon
sieur," and there is no reason why any
stigma of inferiority should attach to
the name Of woman.

THE MODERN CHURCH.
Dr. Rainsford. Pastor Of New York
Church, Says That Il IL .
Good Deal of q Mis0t,

In the eighteenth year book Of st.
Georges church, Stuyvesant square,
New York, just issued. the rector,
Rev. DIR. Rainsford, takes occasion to
make plain statements to his parish
toner's, besides showing the prosper
GUS condition of the church and its
work for the year. The church has
among the vestrymen Mayor-elect
Seth Low, and ]. Pierpont Morgan has
been one Of its wardens since 1868. DR..
Rainsford says, among other things:
"Distinctly the tide ebbs strongly
from all forms of organic Christianity.
Multitudes of good men who used to
come to church more or less regularly
now spend Sunday in outdoor recrea-
tion. If the saloons were open-as.
in my judgment, they should beat
midday and at dinner hour. they might
keep shut at the dangerous and I'M
profitable hours during which they are
now doing their evil work.
"The hunger for the spiritual 10 not
dead among the people. The woeful
multiplicity Of religious fads and
sectlets-mushrOom of Q night and q
day-abundantly proves this. Many
good but Uniformed or lop-sided peo-
pie are putting an. immense fund ofre.
ligious energy into orgs snizations mis-.
takenly called churches. IA ,s
Explain as we may. the modern
church is good deal of misfit, and
only the blind or ignorant or unsym-
pathetic refuse to see."

x-RAY RouTs CANCER.
Chicago Man Gives valuable Appar-
atus 20 Physicians who Cured
His wife Of MaIady.

Orrin w. Potter, of Chicago, has pre-
sented to Hahnemonn Medical college
and hospital very fine X-ray appara-
tus as a token of his gratitude for the
complete recovery of Mrs. Potter from
a cancer which was cured by the X-ray
treatment.
Last July the physicians who had
been treating Mrs. Potter told her
that, without painful operation, she
would have no chance for recovery,
and that even then IL was.only a ques-
tion of prologing her life for few
years. DIR. John Il. Gilman. wdho has
the chair of materia medica at Hahne-
mann college and is a cancer special
ist, was called in and at once began
the X-ray treatment. BY Mr.. Potter's
order, DR.. Emil II. Grubbe, Of the Illi-
nois X-ray and electro therapeutic
laboratory, built an X-ray apparatus
especially designed for therapeutic
use, at cost of $780,. This was shipped
to the Potters' summer home at Lake
Geneva, and there the treatment was
administered to Mrs. Potter every
other day by Drs. Gilman and Grubbe.
A month ago Mrs. Potter was dis
charged, well woman. Mr.. Potter at
once gave the X-ray apparatus to
Hahnemann hospital through DR.. Gil
man.
In his letter accompanying the gift
Mr.. Potter said: 81 know of no better
way to express our gratitude for the
most wonderful results you have
achieved than to say to you that 1t is
my desire to present to your Hahne-
mann hospital this apparatus, trust
ing it may be a still further medium
of relief to suffering, both mental and
physical, that may come to your no
| tice."
Eight other cases of cancer are be.
ing treated with the machine.
