PRESS HAS BEEN
 ALLY TO PULPIT
BISHOP FALLoWS SAYS THE PREACHER CAN LEARN MANY VALUABLE LESSONS FROM THE MODERN NEWSPAPER.

Philadelphia, May 17.-Ministers were exhorted to take lesson from the mod ern newspaper by Bishop Fallows in a sermon delivered at the evening session of the general council of the Reformed Episcopal church. The bishop said that the press, in some respects, had super ceded the pulpit, and now exercises many of the latters functions. He said:
 eThe preacher of today can learn many valuable lessons from the modern news paper. He should emulate it and catch it's style. The ideal newspaper articles arc sharp, short, pungent and to the point The sermon should have all these char acteristics."
 The bishop said the press has been the faithful ally of the pulpit in breaking down caste, in favoring humanitarian re- forms and in advocating the rights of all.
 When the prayer book was first com piled" he said, journalism had scarcely begun it's existence. Hence no mention is made of editors in the enumerated list of persons needing the prayers of the church. No revision ought to be deemed complete which does not include them, for no class requires more intercession by the saints"
 During the morning and afternoon ses- sions reports of officers were read and several propositions to revise or amend the book of prayer were defeated. mo- tion to change the form of the marriage ceremony was also lost.
 The striking from the list of delegates amending the meeting of the names of three women, who were not present, led to a report that the council had decided l,.aff dala t.e, hut l,1 question of admitting women did not come up

SEA LEVEL CANAL.
Work So Far Accomplished Helps This
 Plan.

Washington, May 17.--"None of the work done so far on the isthmus is designed especially for the construction of a lock canal, and consequently the money ex- pended would not be wasted, even if Con- gress was to agree on a sea-level canal" said Chairman Shonts of the isthmian canal commission today.
 '"The commission is acting under the present law which provides for lock canal. Estimates were submitted for work on a canal of that type for the next fiscal year. At best the estimates for such a work are only a guess. of course.''
 Sea-level estimates must, in MT. Shonts' opinion be far less definite than lock canal estimates, because of the amount of attention MT. Stevens and his assis- tants have given to the requirements of a lcck canal and the new problems the other type would present.

PATENT NOSTRUMS
 ARE INEFFECTUAL
So-cALLED TUBERCULOSIS REME- DIES BY PROPRIETARY CON- GERMS ARE DECLARED AS WITH OUT CURATIVE VIRTUE.

Washington, May 17.-Denunciation of so-called tuberculosis nostrums in the shape of patent and proprietary medicines was the feature of the discussion at the meeting In this city today of the Ma tional Association for the study and pre- vention of tuberculosis.
 Dr. Samuel Hopkins Adams of New York said that some of the alleged con- sumption cures were comparatively harm less, being. mostly a mixture of inert drugs that had no effect one way or the other, while others were made up of CO., caine. opium, hashish and cheap sky This latter class of remedy he ,ed to be an active poison in any cas. ,t especially so in the case of consumr, , patient. He however, expressed the e- lief that the consumption cure business was on the wane.
 Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago declared that none of the nostrum compounds was harmless.
 Papers were read by Francis E. Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs on Huber culosis among the Indians," and by Dr. Thomas J. Jones of Hampton. Va, on tuberculosis Among the Negroes"

him an acknowledgement of the fact that the President had read to him and others letter signed by Chandler This Is the same letirr that the Presidents friends, if not tee President himself, have been quoting as showing suspicion of Senator Bailey on the part of Senator ,rlllman. Senator Baileys speech of today was the most convincing of the week debate. He shows conclusively that when the Pres ident received this memorandum there was nothing in 1t which excited sus- picion of Senator Bailey's position on the railroad question In fact as Senator Bailey pointed out only three days after the President had received this mem orandum Senator Bailey was in confer ence with the attorney general.
 The conclusion is unavoidable that the President raked out the Chandler mem- orandum within the past two days in the effort to transfer attention from his own humillating position to manufactured split between Bailey and Tillman.
