President of Progressive Union De-
 nounces Sensational Stories.
 New Orleans, March 17.-M. J. Sanders, President of the Progressive Union, sends the following statement to the Associated Press:
 "As President of the New Orleans Pro- gTessive Union. desire to contradict ab- solvtely and unequiyocally the sensational stories which are being circulated by some correspondents of newspapers in this city to their principals in other parts of the United States, Tn reference, par ticuiariy, to the high water situation in the Mississippi River and It's possible effect upon the city of New Orleans.
 As a matter of fact, there is not and has not been for many years past the slightest rise of any damage to the city of New Orleans proper from high river. All along the commercial front of tho city there is no longer the usual levee, but the streets and property behind have been gradually graded up to the height and beyond the engineers extreme grade for levees, making a solid embankment of earth in several cases for hundreds of feet back of the river. The city in ad- dition Is surrounded by high levees, so should there be any break in the levees in the country above the city or below, not one drop of water can possibly pene- trate into the city. The very utmost that could happen by still further consider able rise in the stage of the river would be the possible overflow of some small portion by water which would merely run down the gutters of the street and to the drainage canals. beneflting, rather than otherwise, conditions. In no sense is there any anxiety regarding their person. al safety or the safety of their property on the part of the citizens of New Or leans, who are perfectly well aware that there is absolutely no danger of harm to the commercial interest of the city from the alarnist reports which are being cir- culated, and in which cases are so ab- solutely exaggerated as to bear the ear marks of gross negligence"

NOT HEREDITARY.
Dr. Jacobi Tells of His Observations
 of Tuberculosis.

New York, March 17.-In the course of talk on ''Tuberculosis in Children" given under the auspices of the committee on the prevention of tuberculosis of the Charity Organization Society, Dr. Abra- ham Jacobi explained how mothers ought to prevent tubercular disease in their ba- bies, and warning the school teachers of the city about many things he said they should know. Tuberculosis" he said, kills more people, old and young, than diphtheria, croup. whooping cough, scar let fever and typhoid fever. all com bined."
 In the young, he explained. the malady could be found in a multitude of forms. and a tubercular origin was to be dis covered in bone deform.ties, troubles of the peritonium and fatal attacks in the lymphal surfaces or glands. In all his years of practice, he continued. he had known but one authenticated case of so- called inherited tuberculosis. and even in that case 1t was not tls disease itself that was handed down, but certain con- ditions of the body.

George Smith and Alex. LaMarsh, two
Dillon miners, have discovered n depos-

pronounced the mineral OF high quality.
The jet Is said to exist In a large guam,

the find Is Of great importance to this

small fortune In this way before they
discovered that the black amber COM
position was valuable.
