 serve Speed and En-
 durance.

Memphis, Tenn, April 11.-Five favor ites and heavily backed dark horse won at Montgomery Park today. The first five races went to the favorites, two of them, witful and Audience, with odds on.
 The Tennessee Oaks at one mile was an easy task for Capt. S. s. Browns Audi ence The Ally took the lead at the quar- ter pole and galloped home without ever being headed. Jockey Helgerson, who had the mount, had no occasion to urge the game animal and his whip was never employed. Audience won under restraint.

 The third race was quite as easy for Witful, as was the Oaks for the Brown Ally. She led all the way and won by two lengths pulled up.

 EXPERIENCE In the Treatment of HumOurs with More Than Magical
 Effect with cUTICURA REMEDIES. A Remarkable Testimonial from a Most Intelligent and
 Trustworthy Lady.

A tumor came on my neck and in a day or two it was as large as halr an orange. was very much alarmed for fear it was malignant. My frienol tried to persuade me to consult my physician; but dreadlng that he would Insist on using the knife, would not consent to go. Instead, got Cuticura Resolvent and Crticura Ointment. I took the former according to direc. hons, and spread thick layer of the Ointment on the swelling. On renew Ing it would bathc my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with large sterilized needle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood, and yellow, cheesy, humorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks time this treatment completely eliminated the tumor. The soreness that had ex- tended down into my chest was all gone, and my neck now seems to be perfectly well.
 About five or six years ago my sis ter had similar experience, used the Cuticura Remedies with magical effect. am willing you should use my testi- monial, with the further privilege of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above statements by personal letter to me-" Chicago, Nov. l2, 1902.

Burton Surveys the Subject.

MT. Burton of Ohio, in charge of the a general survey of the subject of river and harbor impr ovements. He said that the amounts expended for this purpose when the vast extent of our waterways was considered was very small. He faV- ored the adoption of policy of pushing matters to completion as rapidly as pos sible and declared that congress should not undertake anything which could no. be completed within a reasonably short time. The system pursued in the United States, he thought, contrasted most un- favorably with those in foreign countries. The one great defect in our system was the insuffcency. of the engineering corps of the army.
 MT. Burton said as far as possible the appropriations should be made in accor- dance with settled principles with no re- gard for compromise, or to giving so much to each state, but with the thought only of considering each project according to it's merits and the general benefits whica would be conferred upon the whole coun- try. He also favored the policy of re- quiring communities interested in the river and harbor improvement to participate in the expense and said that preference should be given to channels and harbors which benefit a great area Discussing the question of inland waterways, Mir. Burton called attention to the vast sums amounting to many million of dollars which would be required to construct them and declared the adoption of any one Of them would furnish a precedent for the | adoption of all

Wants Quicker Transportation.

MT Burgess of Texas, member of the river and harbor committee, declared that industrial life of the United States is dependent upon quicker transportation and hoped the next general river and har- bor appropriation will provide total sum double that of any heretofore granted.
 Mir. Ransdell of Louisiana, also a mem Der of the committed, said he would sup port a bill carrying 800. GOO 600. because the people are ready for it and would applaud It's passage. He regretted the present measure was simply an emergency one. The American people. he said, are not afraid of large sums but rather like them. He charged that the republicans had been lavish and even reckless of expense in all matters except river and harbor appro- priations, and called attention to the hun dreds of millions which he said had been spent in connection with the war with Spain on criminal aggression and passive warfare"
 MT Humphreys of Mississippi, also member of the committee spoke of the falacy of the levee system of improving the Mississippi river and said it was not possible for a levee or a system of levees to withstand floods such as occurred Tn 1897 and 1903.
 General debate was closed by MT. Small of North Carolina, who spoke on the ne- cesisty for an inland waterway between Chesapeake Bay and Beaufort Inlet, N. c.
 Mir. Hamlin of Missouri offered an amendment appropriating s500.O00 for con tinuing the improvement of the Missouri river at Hermann and Washington, Mo.
 MT. Clarke of Missouri said the river and harbor committee was made up en- tirely of members living on the Gulf coast, the great lakes or the ocean.
 Seven States Unrepresented.
 Seven great states through which the Missouri river flows or passes are with out single representative.
 He alluded to the acquisition by the senate of the Sandwich islands, the Phil ippines, Guam and Porto Rico "on the pretext that homes are wanted for our children"
 And yet, he said, there is more farm ing lands out of which to make such homes that is overfiowed and destroyed and made barren by the floods of the Missouri river than could be found in all those islands.
 Instead" he vigorously declared, amid applause, "of squanderng money to hold the Fflipinos in subjection, to educate the Hawaiians and to carry the mail at an exorbitant price to the cannibals of the Fiji islands, you better be taking care of this land you have got at home"
 A point of order against the amend ment was sustained.

Washington April 1.-The house today passed the bill reported by the committee on river and harbors appropriating 5000, Oo0 Tor the restoration or. maintenance of channels, or for other river and harbor improvements.
 MT. Burton, chairman of the committee, in explaining the bill, urged the adoption Of settled principles with regard to rive. and harbor work. Messrs. Burgess of Texas and Ransdell of Louisiana favored increases in the appropriations for river and harbor Improvements the former urging that they should be doubled and the latter regarding s1Oo0OO,0OO as not too much. Mir Clark of Missouri made plea for the improvement of the Missouri river. Quite a large number of bills of minor importance were passed.
 When the house met 1t was ordered that bills relating to the District of Columbia, which were to have been taken up today, shall be considered on Saturday next.
 The house then went into committee Of the whole for the consideration of the emergency river and harbor improvement bill, general debate being limited to three hours

TELECRAMS WITHOUT WIRES.
Machine That Transmits and Receives
In Writing Messages from
Distance.

The zeragraph is the name bestowed
upon a new mechanical and electrical de
vice by means of which messages by
wireless telegraph may be seut or re-
ceived and typewriter copies taken au
tomatically. 1t is not a yankee notion,
but the invention of an Englishman,
says a scientific exchange. In appear
ance it resembles an ordinary typewriter
but it is Of simpler construction, with a
keyboard figured with the signs OF the
letters and numerals which can be
printed or telegraphed to any number of
instruments. Each instrument, the in
ventor explains, is at once a receiver and
a transmitter, enabling operators to con-
/ verse with ole another in writing and
thus obyiating Misunderstanding
which are apt to occur in telephone COM
munications So far messages have been
sent only for short distance, but it Is
intended TO experiment over wider
spaces, and it is hoped that messages
can be sent to any distance that either
waves viii carry. The machine is always
ready for immediate use, and as there is
no mechanism which requires to be
wound up in order to obtain synchron-
ism, the operator has both hands free
for manipulation.
Another advantage claimed for the
invention will be of especial Importance
in military affairs. Messages cannot be |
picked UP. To quote the inventors own
words: In sending a message you are
Inc ty1O NJ
you a choice OF sc signs. and these are |
given direct print either as letters or |
figures, Absolute secrecy is thus OBJ
tanned. The only way to intercept mes
sages would be to employ a similar in
strunent, which would have to be syn
chroEizad to The same degree as the
traremitting instrument Lastly, these
